Last Saturday was a fine day al
though very warm but that did not
stop the people from coming into the
city from the country. It was one
of the biggest crowds that has been
in town for long time. We are glad
to note this fact because 1T proves
that notwithstanding the bad reputa-
ton we get every once in awhile we
are not 50 bad after all.

Next week two important events
will happen. On Thursday next week
we are going to vote on those laws
passed by the late legislature. The
following day comes Sousa's world
famous band. If there is any one
thing that is going to draw the crowd
to Valley City it is going to be this fine
organization which is coming here
under the auspices Of the Chautauqua
association. s$ 3

day as there will be much figuring to
do to arrive at the final conclusion.

CONDITIONS otVE
OPPORTUNITY FOR FLAX

The delay in seeding wheat. oats
and ba4 ,ey in Minnesota OF account
Of weather conditions. this spring
calls for the seeding of crops which
may be planted later-con, pota~
toes, fax, millet and buckwheat,
says C. P. Bull, of the University
Farm staff. Flax, adds Mr.. Bull is
a profitable crop and may be sown
as late as June 10. Last year, in
Minnesota, the average yield per
acre was 1914 bushels, and the aver
age farm price on Dec. l, 1918, WAS
$3.41 a bushel, making the value per
acre $35. .46. Prices will, of course,
depend upon supply and demand, but
indications point to large demand
and continued good prices. 1nforma-
tion as to seeding of flax will be fur
nished on application to c. P. Bull,
University Farm.

The ART OF FORGETTING

WHAT a blessing it is that we can
forget. Today's troubles look very
large, but week hence they will be
forgotten and buried. Says one
writer IF you would keep a book
and daily put down the things that
worry you, and see what becomes of
them, it would benefit you." We al
low things to annoy us, just as we
allow a fly to settle upon us and
plague us; and we lose our temper
and get all out of balance.
But if we could see what it was
that threw US off our balance before
breakfast, and put it down in little
book, and follow it up and follow it
out, and ascertain what becomes of
it, we would see what fools we were
i'll the matter. .-.< ~. =
The art of forgetting is a blessed
art, but the art of overlooking is
just as important. And If we should
take time to write down the origin,
progress and outcome of our trou-
bles it would make us ashamed of
the fuss we made over them. and we
should be glad to drop such things
and bury them at once in eternal for
getfulness. ....z LIZ .s.. a. s.

At the end of May and during the
month Of June the schools Of our
land are turning out thousands of
boys and girls who have completed
the courses assigned. ~~f
Each of these young people is pre-
pared i'm a great measure for life.
They, may complete their school at
this point, or may go on to college.
In either event, each has received a
valuable education from books and
teachers, and one equally valuable
from the association with other pup
lis, on the playground and after
school hours.
The boys and girls have worked
hard to complete the eir work and at
tain to graduation. Schools and
communities are right in recognizing
graduation as an event of import
ance. It is we'll to make the gradua-
tion day one that will leave a de-
lightful impression in the heart of
every young student.
Then let us realize that the girls
are entitled to their pretty white
dresses and flowers and the boys to
their new suits, and that every ar
rangement which can make the day
distinctive and pleasant should be
encouraged.
The older people of the town
should show their interest by at
tendance at the exercises il. possible.
Don't forget that these thoughtful
and happy boys and girls are the
citizens Of the future: who will in
course of time take our places in
the community. Help to make their
graduation day a little triumph for
each of them.

There are but few vexations con.
nected with farm life that are
greater than living alongside a
neighbor who is slacktwisted in his
moral and manly makeup and so
neglects to keep his cattle from in
juring his neighbors, Such man is
yet largely a heathen, no matter how
much religion he may profess. Years
ago there lived in New York two
farmers. One, Captain Gray, as he
was called, was shift1ess, negligent
man about his fences. He was ex-
cessively pious, however. Adjoining
him lived Uncle Jake Schulz, a vigor-
Gus Mohawk Dutchman, who was
every inch a farmer. His fields,
fences, buildings, and cattle were
always in prime order.
Uncle Jake, as we'll as other neigh
bors, had suffered much injury and
annoyance from Captain Gray's cat
tie. One Sunday morning Gray was
seated on his front porch reading
the Bible. Uncle Jake, who was on
his way to church, stopped and de-
livered the following message:
"Cappin Gray, you tink you got
lots of religion. How can dot be?
Dere you sit, nit der Bible in your
hand, der devil in your heart, and
your cattle in my corn. Such kind O.
religion ish humbug."
We agree with Uncle Jake.

What America needs is unity-not
an aggregation Of discordant unities.
The former. means irresistible ma
tional strength; the latter stands
for perpetuated decrepitude:
If we are to- be united we must
get to know each other. We must
get together - literally = physically.
We must increase the means of geo.
graphical intercommunication. The
railroads can't do everything and
they certainly don't. The whole
country should be a network of we'll
kept highways.
Nearly every man who draws
union wages regularly and has an
average acquaintance with machin-
cry can afford to buy and maintain a
low or medium priced automobile.
There are few farmers who can't.
The per capita proportion of cars to
population is growing so fast that
problems of locomotion are rapidly
solving themselves. Already we find
governors of adjoining states Coop
Grating to promote road building
schemes.
No project is more wholesome. No
movement shows sounder political
judgment. When our 1O0,O00,OOO
population ceases to be a motley
group of disjointed commonwealths,
each commonwealth conserving with
in itself babel of tongues, dialects,
vernaculars and patois, then, and
not till then, will we present to the
whole world type Of sef-depend-
ent nationalism which all will desire
to initiate and none will dare assail.

DULUTH COMMERCIAL CLUB Fl
.sE*@ TO ASSIST SHEEP RAISING
Thinks Sheep Will Lead to Clearing
and Settlement Of Lands
In This Section. - + 4


In reply to a letter to the Duluth
Commercial Club l.. G: Lundquist re-
ceived the following very encourag-
ing letter, showing how important
they consider the sheep raising in
dustry for this section: -
~ = April 30th, 1919.
'Mr. L.. G. Lundquist,
Grand Marais, Minnesota.
"My> dear Mr.. Lundquist: -:
Answering your inquiry as to the
movement which originated in the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan last
year, to locate Western Grazers of
cattle and sheep in Northern Mime
sofa, Northern Wisconsin and the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan, 1 am
pleased to make reply at this time.
"The Commercial Club has for
some time past been giving this sub
ject serious consideration, and
through a Special Committee called
the "Clover-Land Committee'' has
during recent weeks and months
been blocking lands for the purpose
in question. And has at this time
something like 100000 acres listed.
We do not look upon this as an ex-
pertinent, as practical successful
demonstration Of it's feasibility in
the district in question,-which in
cludes thirty million acres of unused
lands-has been accomplished.
"Ths organization is whole-heart-
edly committed to promoting this
line of activity as one of its three
most important lines of work.
II am glad to know that the good
people of Cook County also are in
terested in this matter, for believe
that it is primarily the thing that.
will lead to the clearing of our lands
and their settlement-for such has
been the history of newer sections.
'Under date Of August 10th, 1918,
Mr.. VIM. Clinch, County Agricultural
Agent for your county, made the fol-
lowing statement in letter ad-
dressed to Mr.. F. A. Patrick of this
city, and by Mr.. Patrick referred to
this Club for attention:
: J" "'As County Agricultural Agent
for this county, am deeply inter-
ested in the introduction of sheep
into the county, as I believe that
soil and@climate conditions are es-
pecially suited to the industry. A
number of settlers are preparing to
start with small hocks, but the ag-
gregate number Of sheep ordered
will not allow of economic shipment,
as would be the case were carload
ordered. There are, however, other
settlers qualified to care for small
numbers, but who lack the necessary
means to purchase stock and provide
the proper fencing. Knowing the in
terest you have in the wool industry,
l take the liberty of writing to you
to inquire whether you would be
willing to extend any financial as
sistance-subject, of course to
proper provision as to selling of
clip, security, etc.
IF you are interested in this SUBJ
ject, and / sincerely hope that you
are, suggest that you confer with
Mr.. Clinch as to local conditions and
we will gladly cooperate with you to
the fullest, as we are receiving many
Inquiries from western stockmen
who are looking this way for grazing
areas.

ARRANGEMENTS Completed
FOR memorial EXERCISES

Arrangements are all completed
for Memorial Day exercises next Fri
day afternoon. Though strenuous
effort has been made to procure an
outside speaker for the day,
the committee so far has not
been successful, as the demand for
speakers is so great throughout the
state. One of our local men will de-
liver an address, however, and the
school children are preparing a flag
drill.
The exercises at the Maple Hill
cemetery will commence at 2:3O p.
m. and all those who have not pro-
vided conveyance are requested to
meet down town, on Wisconsin
street, at 1880 when cars will be pro-
vided for as many as possible. All
those having room in their cars are
also requested to meet at that place

for. George Brisson has offered to
take the school children in his truck.
They will start promptly at 1870
o'clock, so be on time.
All returned soldiers are especially
requested to be present, dressed in
their uniforms. Special cars will be
provided for them.
If the weather is favorable a large
gathering is expected, as everyone
feels special interest in Memorial
Day observance this year. Everybody
should lay aside their work for the
afternoon and pay their respects to
those who have sacrificed their lives
on the battlehelds.-Let go.
