new CLASS IN POULTRY WILL .. =. !.
:. START, NIGHT SCHOOL, MONDAY

who has poultry should be interested
in and should also attend.
It Is general thought that classes
conducted in a night school call for
studying and recitation, such as Is
carried on in the day school and
this mistake Is the cause for not hav-
ing larger classes. On the other hand,
these classes are to be conducted on
the lecture plan, which gives those
attending a chance to ask questions
and make it more interesting.
New Class Monday.
A new class is to be started Mon
day evening and 1t is requested that
every person who is interested in
poultry come out Monday evening
and enroll in this class. 1t is going
to prove to be most interesting
class, conducted on the lecture plan.
Harry Olin, the agricultural director,
is to conduct the class along scientific
lines. Mr. Olin is a graduate of the
Michigan Agricultural college, and a
graduate of the science class at Yale.
This night class will be illustrative.
The class will not be organized If
there are not more than six and there
can be fifty accommod odated The larg-
er the class the more there Is to be
gotten out of the discussions and g.
greater amount of ground will be,
covered - ...+. .rl7sys -.J .'&GI

ASSERTED TERRIBLE FIRES
COULD BE PREVENTED

minnesota is trying to protect
20,000,000 acres Of timber land-an
empfrewith 80 or 40 rangers" de-
clared A. P. Silliman of Hibbing in
Charging the state with neglecting
one of Its greatest sources of wealth,
at the annual meeting OF the M.nne-
sofa Forestry association at the West
hotel, Minneapolis. :.
Mr.. Silliman predicted there would
be other and greater fires unless more
comprehensive prevention methods
were adopted by the state.
One of the purposes of the meeting
it to stir up sentiment to secure legis-
latiye action by which the appropria-
tion for the statB forestry service will
be increased from $4,000 to about
$500, 900. It was stated that 800
rangers were needed in the fire sea-
SON and that 100 men should be per-
manently engaged In this work.
= 1--WE know, said Mr.. Silliman,
".that fires like the terrible one OF
last fall can be prevented and we are
here to make sentiment that will see
to it that they are prevented in the
future"
Business Proposition.
Mr.. Silliman said the state had re-
ceiyed from the north country from
the sale of land, the sale Of timber
and from ore royalties $37. 900
!: up to. the pfrsertt. time. He declared
It was not a matter Of sentiment but
a business proposition to protect this
rich territory. 49,.
r Among the other demands which
will probably be expressed in resolu-
tibns will be for a closed season for
setting fires in the woods, for practic-
ing forestry or the state timber lands
to conserve the supply, and for the
planting and retention of trees along
the highways of the state.
~, .s>y Oldest in States.
? The Minnesota Forestry association
was started in 1896 and is the Oldest
forestry, association in the United
States. Its original purpose was to
encourage the. planting Of trees on
the prairies, but it has expanded and
at present itsswork is to protect the
wealth Of the state in the north
woods. ,ss$f.

POLITICAL TREND IN
WASHINGTON.

lut tdCt lIehty anu bcdSut VI
Nations covenant are furnishing
the excuse for some of the prettest
! political Juggling seen 10 the ma.
tional capitol for many years.
The main actors are the two
great parties, jockeyiDg for posi-
tiOn in the race for president to
come off in the fall of 1920.
Of lesser Importance, but fully
as interesting are the efforts for
advantage of the score or more
possible presidential candidates
in each party.
The present congress that once
expected to adjourn in early sum
mer now fnds itself confronted
with the prospect of continued
settings until well into the sum
mer of 1920. The present session
properly ends on the first Monday
in December 1919, but the next
congress begins at once, really
merging the two Into one.
The senate committee on foreign
relations is still holding up the
charter of the League of Nations,
and will not finish its discussions
on this document for some time to
come. There will then most prob
ably be two reports made Oh this
covenant, one by the majority, ex-
pected to be favorable, one by the
minority, and perhaps a third re
porting favorably, with certain
minor changes. Then the discus
sion on the floor of tue senate may
be expected TO last until snow flies
in the capital streets.
The Republican leaders are aDx
Ious to lrolOng congress nntll pub
lie sentiment on a number OF ques-
tiOns Is well crystallized so that
they can at least make start in
that direction. Political expert.
ence has taught the great party
leaders that in presidential elec-
tiou years it is well to have some
record Of legislative accomplish
ment with which they can go be
fore the voters. In this period of
political unrest the blg fellows are
up IN the air as to just what ac-
tion on several important ques-
tons will draw the most votes in
the impending election.
Among these problems that are
proving to be hard nuts to crack
are the Land for Soldiers question,
Federal Control OF Railroads, Wage,
Food Control, size Of Army and
Navy, League of Nations and 9th
ers Of lesser Importance. 1t seems
to be the desire of the Republicans
msjorities to delay action until the
tide of public opinion sets strong
Iy one way or the other, Then
they intend to ride that tide into
victory in the election of president.
Probable candidates on the Re-
publican ticket thus far include
Senator PolnGexter OF Washing
ton, General Wood, ex.Governor
Hiram johnson of California, Gov.
ernor Frank Lowden of Illinois, P.
C. Knox, and Warren &. Hardin.
The fight seem to be between Low.
den of Illinois aud johnson OF
California.
Democratic possibilities are
Governor Cox of Ohio, Champ
Clark. and Nc Atloo, with chance
of Wilson running again 1t the
League covenant Is not settled tt
his liking.
1t is q pretty fight and student'
of national politics aud party his
tory have q treat ahead in the mex
few months.

GOOD ROAD CAMPAIGN

building campaign IN the
history of the world. The
aggregate amount to be ex-
pended this year on the roads
and lands of the country
would build and duplicate
another Panama Canal. Ac-
cording to figures collected
by the B. F. Goodrich Rub
ber Company, combined
forces Of the federal govern
ment, states and counties
will spend 1915, 100000 in
new construction and main
tenance of the nations net
work of highways This is
the first complete survey of
1919 good roads expenditures.
Louisiana will spend over
81 600, 900 in this good road
work.
Roughly Goodrich officials
estimate that the expendi-
lures for highway improve
ment is approximately $3. %
per capita; or, to emphasize
this, each man, woman and
child in the United States
would contribute this much
for the building and bettering
of roads were taxation on
such a basis. Were the ex-
pense apportioned out on an
average basis each state
would pay $7,oS3,333.
The era Of good roads talk
has at last been succeeded by
the era of good roads con-
struction. Public sentiment
is solidly behind extensive
highway building programs
now, says one Of the Good
rich highway correspondents,
but the enthusiasm must not
wane. The millions being
spent will be spent in vain
unless states undertake to re-
pair roads as quickly as they
build.
While the amount availa-
bic for expenditure this year
seems staggering it will not
be enough to make up for de-
ferred war construction, for
normally the amount spent
on roads in the United States
is we'll above $2, 100000 and
the war restriction brakes ap-
piled brought road building
almost to a stop in many To-
calities.
Three great factors have
been largely responsible for
this years amazing highway
expenditures. First, the in
centive for states to match
Federal aid appropriations;
second, the passage of enor-
NOUS bond issues for good
roads in many states; and
third, the attention turned on
the urgent need of good roads
by the war.
Reports from state high.
way commissioners to the
Goodrich officials contain
some interesting individual
features.
Construction in Virginis
during the next six years Of
$3.50 miles of highway at 6
cost of more than $50, 600.
600 has been approved.
One of the features of this
years work will be the com
pletion of the Dixie Highway
