MIN. NELSON PUTS HIGH
VALUE ON TEACHER

In a speech at Grand Forks, June
10th. Senator Cahill, discussing the
education law (board Of administra-
hon act) made reference to the oppo-
sition by the state superintendent Of
public instruction to the measure, and
IN discussing Minnie Nelson's attitude
toward the rural schools Of the state,
showed how she valued the teachers
and the attendance.
In telling of loose methods under
which he said the present school sys-
item Is conducted, Mr.. Cahill incident
ally read q new rating Miss Nelson
has given the schools Of the state, or
rather the system under which they
are rated.
'sThis rs her idea of the importance
and significance Of the different
branches and elements which go to
make up the public schools Of this
state" Mr.. Cahill said:

Pure.Bred Bulls Are Needed to De-

ICED the same investment would have
purchased the necessary bulls at an
average Of 1888. On the farms men,
toned nearly four times as many bulls
were used as would have been required
under proper organization. The farm
ers were therefore feeding four bulls
when they should have been feeding
only one.
Data from one Of the first bull asso-

lustrate this very we'll. Before the
association was formed the bulls in
use had an average market value Of
$50. The average price paid by the
association for registered bulls was
$40. Price does not always CORE

carefully selected the price in this.
case is doubtless a fair index of true
worth. In this association each farm
er's investment for a share in a good
registered bull was $14 less than his
former investment in an animal of in
feriOr breeding and doubtful merit.
Actual first-cost figures from other
cooperative bull associations are even
more encouraging. In one association
having more than 100 members the
| original cost to each member was only
$23. The members already have had
the use Of good pure-bred bulls for four
years and probably will have their use
six years longer without additional
| cost other than for maintenance. An.
other association with more than SO
members has had the use Of good pure
bred bulls for more than seven years
at an average investment Of less than
$25 a member, with prospects of be.
ing able to use them for three or four
years more. Practically all dairymen
desire to raise pure-bred cattle, but
I comparatively few can afford individ-
ually to purchase such bulls as are
needed to develop a profitable pure
bred herd. The bull association over
comes the difficulty, and the money
saved can be used toward the pur.
chase of registered females.
When questioned regarding the value
Of cooperative bull associations, 150
farmers in Maryland, Michigan and
Minnesota. estimated that the use OF
bulls belonging to the organization in
creased the value Of the offspring In
the first generation from 80 to 80 per

Usually in business transactions In
WHICH there is a probability Of great

Miss Kemble tried to help. She
asked Daphne to step aside and watch
while she went through the scene. But
she was so unnerved that she forgot
her own lines and had to refer to the
manuscript, while Eldon waited in
acute distress and Daphne, looking on,
said: "Oh, I see. I think I understand
1t now" Then she forgot it all again
at the repetition. Somehow the re-
hearsal was worried through to the

Daphne went home, dreading her
fate but not knowing what the verdict

feared the more-to be dismissed or
to be accepted. The latter meant un-

that her father would be arriving in
two hours. She decided that it would
be a pleasant duty to surprise the
poor, old, neglected codger by meeting
him.

her to take her breakfast at the lunch
