When it becomes necessary to open
this pit remove the dirt from the
head and take out what vegetables
are needed. Place the head back in
position and put the dirt back in its
place. The vegetables will keep well
in this manner and they will be free
from dirt and also it is not necessary
to destroy the entire pit in order to
remove part of the vegetables.

BY John w. Newman, at Chamber
of Commerce Meeting last Thurs
day night. rs

Blue Grass Kentucky is seen
grasping an opportunity to produce
in a few counties produce thatAhe
whole world is calling for, and doub-
ling the value of its farm lands, by
John w. Newman, of Versailles,
chairman of the temporary officers
of the Burley Tobacco Growers AS
sociation.
Central Kentucky was denominat-
ed a one crop section with soil
adapted to and facilities for build
ing up an industry which would
have the entire world for a market
and increase the taxable wealth of
the state half, in an address de-
livered by Mr.. Newman at a banquet
and get-together meeting of the Mt
Sterling Chamber of Commerce in
Mt. Sterling Thursday night. The
talk was arranged for by officers
Of the Mt. Sterling organization a
month. ago, and in it the speaker re-
viewed the Burley crisis and its
causes, told of conditions in the to-
bacco industry, and predicted a new
era for Burley growers.
Were the Burley region to fully
realize its opportunities, there would
be two tobacco barns for every one
today, and there would be no cry of
"over production" Mr.. Newman de-
clared.
The "Big Five" manufacturers.
Reynolds, Liggett and Myers, Amer
lean, Lorrillard and the Imperial To-
bacco Company, were arraigned in
Mr.. Newman's address and charged
with having a ear-sighted business
policy and possible strange hold
on the Burley industry. The grow
ers, however, must contrive to work
with the manufacturers and bring
them into a full realization of the
opportunities within reach, he said.
Mr.. Newman believes that if the
farmers organize themselves as the
warehousemen and manufacturers
have, follow constructive program
of education and extension, the pres
ent Burley region will raise twice as.
large a crop as it does now, and
the growers will receive a good
profit in addition to all they put into
their crop.
We're the program outlined in Mr..
Newman's address carried out, Lex
ington would become the Burley cap
ital of the world, both in production
and selling.
The address made at Mt. Sterling
by the head of the Burnley Associa-
ton, in part, follows:
To-day there is tobacco upon
practically every Blue Grass farm.

P. L. SPOONER ELECTED
FIRST VICE PRESIDENT
Glacier Trail Association Hold Meet.
ing at WilImar for Purpose of
Reorganization

Paul L. Spooner of Morris was
chosen first vice president of the
Glacier Trail Association which met
at Willmar Thursday, February 26,
for the purpose of. effecting a reor-
ganization and completing the de-
tails of the trail in Minnesota.
Other officers elected at the meet
ing were: President, F. c. Thornton
of Benson, second vice president. A.
w. Wells of Herman, secretary,
Henry G.. Young of Willmar, treasur-
er, A. c. Carlson of Willmar
A movement of this kind is espe-
cially pertinent at the present time,
when the tendency in every state to
effect a system of good roads, makes
it reasonable to expect that the num-
Der of tourists in this country will
be greater than ever before. Every
one of our natural wonders will be-
come a mecca for sightseers and
those in the most secluded spots will
become alive with tourists. Glacier
National Park with it's mountain
beauties is sure to draw automobile
loads of tourists if good roads only
prevail The Glacier Trail Associa-
tion wants to do all in it's power to
help these tourists this summer on
their way to the Park.
Plans have been made to finance
the association for the coming year,
in Minnesota, to the extent of $4,000.
The trail has also been registered
with the State Highways Associa-
tion as far as Moorhead, and will be
extended and registered west of Moor
head to Glacier Park during the COM
ing year. The trail will be marked
with the Glacier Park Goat, in blue
and white. This marking of the trail
in Minnesota will be perfected by
July 1, 1920.
The trail has it's root in the Twin
Cities and will run in the State of
Minnesota up to Breckenridge, along
the Breckenridge -Willmar Division of
the Great Northern Railway. From
Breckenridge to Moorhead the trail
will follow the King of Trails

Utne addressed the audience, saying
that he desired to express his ap-
probation of the support which the
Lyceum course had had from the
people Of Morris during the year. He
stated that there had been $152 in
the treasury when the board had
signed up for the course for this
year. as this surplus was at hand,
a more expensive course than had
been contracted for last year, was de-
cided upon; nevertheless there are,
at the end of this season, $175, in
the treasury which will enable Nor

of entertainments for the coming

LAUDS COURTESY OF
PEOPLE OF MORRIS
G. W. Anderson Revenue Tax Man,
Completes Work in Morris
Wednesday

G. w. Anderson, representing the
Internal Revenue Tax Collector
speaks with enthusiasm of the spirit
of the people with whom he has
come in contact during his stay in
Morris, and of the courteous treat
ment which he has received while
here.
Here, as elsewhere in the state, he
says, the returns have been smaller
this year than last, due to smaller
crops. There has been great i'm
provement over last year in the way
in which the records are kept, he
states, especially among the farmers.
There are still many instances of
inaccurate accounts, and he desires
to impress upon the public that fail
ure to keep a record of the expendi-
lures thruout the year, has in many
instances brought about an unfair
taxation of the Individual.
1t is essential that all returns be
sent in to the ST. Paul office by March
Is, says Mr.. Anderson, and a drive
will be made some time during the
year to locate all delinquents.
Between one hundred fifty to two
hundred men asked for help at the
Commercial Club rooms during Mr..
Anderson's BAY. His work at Morris
was completed on Wednesday; he
left on Thursday for Chokio, but will
make his headquarters in Morris un-
til Monday of next week. 4 4

Education is Effort" Says Judge

That education and information
are not identical, and that the newer
methods of education sometimes fail
to develop habits of industry and
concentration in the pupils, was the
main thought in the address which
Judge Geo. w. Beise gave at the
meeting of the Parents-Teachers AS
sociation at the high school on Mon
day evening. The value of education,
he claimed, is dependent upon the
amount of effort put forth by
the student, and he warned against
the tendency toward making things
easy for the children.
The meeting which was called at
quarter to seven, opened with a pre-
liminary declamatOry contest, in
which the girls who participated in
the work at the Orpheum on Wednes-
day evening, were chosen.
