mencement Featured by
Announcement of
Winners.

Crookston. Mimi. March 20. - The
eleventh annual commencement exer-
cises OF the northwest school of agri-
culture of the University Of Minnesota,
located at Crookston. were especially
impressing. After the invocation
given by Rev. p. e. Moon Of Crookston.
the agricultural school band gave o
program. Miss Maja Peterson of the
senior class gave a demonstration OF
home nursing showing the extent Of
training given in this important line
of her work. She was followed by
Herbert v. Anderson. who was en-
ployed as official in the Ottertail Coun-
ty Cow Testing association. He spoke
forcibly of the value Of cow testing
associations and gave many examples
of the value Of such an organization
in dairying communities.
Miss M. Lucille Holiday Of the
northwest school Of agriculture sang
two solos, She was followed by Supt.
r. E. Denfeld. Of Duluth. whose adj
dress on Citizenship and Education,
was one of the strongest appeals to
patriotism ever given in Crookston.
He showed the rise of our country. its
dangers as well as sources Of strength
and closed with an eloquent appeal to
the young men and women of the class
of 1917 not only to advance Minnesota
agriculturally. but to be patriotic citi-
zens. The girls glee club furnished
music.
supt. C.. G. selyis presented
diplomas to thirty-seven young men
and women of northern Minnesota. In
summarizing the years work Mr.. Sell
Wig pointed out that the alumni of the
school now numbers 241. located
mainly in the twelve northwestern
counties of Minnesota. About So per
cent of these young people were on
the farm. Although the school Is only
eleven years old he cited Illustrations
of how these young men and women,
and former students. who did not
graduate. were making splendid rec
ord in solving the AGRICULTURAL prob
lens of the Red river valley. He dwelt
particularly on the summer work
which is required of the students be-
tween the year that they enter school
and the year when they are members
of the senior class. Each year stu
dents select home projects which are
carried on in practical way on their
home farms. These projects include
alfalfa growing. pure seed plot work,
pure seed potato work. dairy COW test
ing, dairy feeding. pig or swine rails
ing and others. He cited the growth
of the school which in 1906 began with
an enrolment of thirty-one students,
while during the past two years the
enrolment has been over 200. In addi-
ton large numbers attended the Farm
ers' week meetings as well as

the summer session and the junior
short course making total en-
rollment for the current year Of zoos.
The northwest experiment station
activities were outlined briefly by
Superintendent Selvig. He called spec.
ial attention to the report which had
been published during the year COW
erinE the first six years records OF
about thirty projects involving the use
of three quarters Of a section Of land
In extension activities the northwest
school and station employs two men
continuously while at certain periods
of the winter there are four in the
field. This service has grown in re-
Spouse to demands made for meetings
short courses and farmers days. A.
r. Knutson. formerly county agent
has stimulated great interest in cow
testing associations in various
communities while o. M. Kiser of the
extension force" has taken an active
part in farm management activities in
various counties.
In conclusion Mr.. Selvig thanked
the communities of the Red river val
of school and station work and the
citizens Of Crookston for the special
interest shown this year in the schol-
arships provided for the students.

mas A. A. Miller Of Crookston, as

CLAIMS DIVORCE NOT
FINAL: WANTS ESTATE
jamestown Woman Brings Suit to Set
Aside Proceedings to Obtain
Property.

Jamestown. N. D., March 29.-"Di-
vorced but still a wife" would be an
appropriate title for a legal drama
that is occupying the boards here
Last winter the divorce action of
Smyth VS.. Smyth wis tried before the
district court, resulting in a decree Of
divorce to Mrs. Smyth. The Judge also
ordered that one-half of the defend
ants property be turned over to the
wife by way of alimony and for her
support.
was had, and before the. order for
judgment had been signed by the
court, and the decree had been filed,
the defendant was frozen to death
Smyth left small estate, and attor-
neys who represent Mrs. Smyth now
contend that she is entitled to the en-
tire property as the widow of deceased
The proposition is advanced that mas
much as the divorce Judgment has not
been actually entered, she can repu-
date the whole action, and receive the.
entire estate instead of the one-half to
which she would be entitled liz the de-
PENDANT had lived. Counsel have all
ready taken steps to set aside the di--
vorce proceedings.
Heirs of Smyth on the other hand
demand that the divorce be final. and
that they receive the one-half of his
estate after paying Mrs Smyth the
amount which the court ordered to be
turned over to her. Some interesting
legal problems are involved in the slit
uation.

thing happened. When League meet
ing is held in Fargo today the city
won't let the farmers even pay for the
city aXd itorium; the city commissions
ers q. the rent themselves.
The farmers haye put their taboo
for the time upon Lake City and Man
kato; there is no doubt about that. But
already the merchants are getting
busy. At Lake City the other day.
after the fire hose episode, one farmer
that know of, who had bought an $50
order and hadn't paid for it yet sim
ply left town and left the goods in the
store.
At Mankato even before the farmers
had left town, some of the more far
sighted business men were mingling
among them and telling them they
weren't responsible for the misguided
stand of their mayor.
Maybe, after a little while, the busi-
ness men and peanut politicians will be
educated in Minnesota, as they have
been in North Dakota, and a different
answer can be given to the question:
"Ain't farmers legal?"

inorganic iron products, it is easily as
