A SONG OF TOT.

Toll swings the axe and forests bow
The seeds bring forth their radiant
bloom;
Rich harvests smile behind the pillow;
And cities cluster round the loom.
Where towering dome and tapering
spires
Adorn the vale and crown the hill,
Stauneh labor lights its beacon fires.
And Plumes with smoke the forge and
mill.
The monarch tree-the woodland 5
pride,
Whose trunk is scanned with light
ning's scars,
Toll launches on the restless tide
And shape to bear the stripes and
stars.

IN THE NEW YEAR.

Let me be a little kinder,
Let me be a little blinder
To the faults Of those about me;
Let me praise a little more;
Let me be when I am weary
Just a little bit more CHEEKY,
Let me serve little better
Those that I am striving for.
Let me be little drawer
When temptation bids me waver;
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that I should be.
Let me be little meeker
With the brother that is weaker,
Let me think more Of my neighbor
And a little less of me.

ONE IDEA OF AMERICANISM

Once . liberal, now a reactionary
magazine, the Metropolitan Of New
York city at least still has the virtue
Of frankness. In recent issue It has
an editorial defining Americanism as
loyalty to the big business system.
Thus, If one believes in public aowner-
ship of utilities, such as railroads, he
can not be q good American. IF he Is
not proud Of the sugar profiteering, Of
she aircraft scandal, Of the Hog Island
frauds; If he is not proud Of the great
grabs Of Rockefeller, Morgan, Ryan,
Hill and others, he is not q loyal Amer
lean.

do not care a tinker's foot
How women dress,
Small difference it makes to me,
I do confess;
But when I see some bulky dame
In tall white boots,
I want to 60 out in the woods
And live on roots.
Indeed, I do not give rap
What women do,
I care not that they drink and swear
Or smoke and chew;
But when I hear some "cutie" try
To give toast,
I want to groan one groan, and the1

PUBLICITY FOR CARSS.

In recent issue Of the Hibbing
Daily News, editor G. M. Atkinson says:
The Duluth newspapers haven't been
accused, so far as we know, of wearing
out any linotype machines in reporting
the doings Of congressman Carss. Re-
pubicans and democrats Of far less
ability would have kept their machines
quite busy.
We assume that Col. Atkinson
means the daily papers Of Duluth and,
If SO, the chances are that nothing but
the long green or influences Of the old
party political machines ever would
or ever will get congressman Carss any
publicity in their columns.
We have not seen very much Carss
publicity in Col Athnson's Hibbing
paper and, certainly, there has not
been much in the Duluth weekly pa
pers or the rural publications of the
district.
This has not been the fault of the
weekly papers Of Duluth and the dis
trict. Congressman Carss has not kept
in touch with them. He may have
spent considerable time as movie &C.
tor in the Washington railroad yards,
yet he can plead not guilty to any
charge Of wearing out typewriters in
the important task of keeping in touch
with Eighth district editors.
It not only has been congressman
Carss' privilege to tell the papers what
he was doing, trying to do or has done,
but it was his duty. A servant should
properly and frequently report to his
masters. In political life, and especial
~, in far-away congressional work,
the customary and very legitimate way
for congressman to report to his con-
stituents Is through the papers Of the
district.
Congressman Carss' inability or neg
lect to make his doings known to the
district through the papers, not only
has kept the people in ignorance, but it
will prove serious handicap to him in
his aspirations for another term. He
will start a campaign on an even foot
ing with his opponents when, other
wise, he could and would have been
flying down the track, far, far ahead
Of the entire field.

SELECTING THE SUCCESSOR
OF SUPT. HOKE.

One Of the most important tasks in
connection with the public schools is
the selection Of the successor to Supt.
Hoke. There are certain indications
that Supt. Hoke, himself, would like
to keep bis finger in the pie to the ex-
tent Of influencing the selection. All
may rest assured that those who have
been the most jealous in keeping supt.
Hoke In the schools for the past three
years viii make every effort to dictate
the selection Of that near-educator'
successor.
There is a deep and strong sentiment
In Duluth, however, in favor of first
carefully and honestly looking over the
men at home, or near home. We are
informed that this sentiment is tax
ing practical shape in the form of let
ters, personal interviews and calls BY
delegations on members Of the school
board, both collectively and individ-
ally. It is not impossible that this
movement win take huge proportions,
although that would be rather remark
able IN careless, complacent and rather
indifferent Duluth.

JUDICIAL SITUATION.

-
The primaries this year will come
on or about June Is. Candidates for
the district bench must file for NOM
nation at least forty days before the
primaries. This means that judicial as
pirants must declare their intentions
no later than May 5. This further
means that the voters have barely six
ty days in which to consider aspirants
and their qualifications.
It seems high time for frank an
nouncements as to candidates, their fit
ness and qualifications. The public not
only is entitled to know what men are
likely to ask their votes, but they
should not be limited and hampered in
discussing the candidacy Of any man.
Judge Cant some weeks ago frankly
and oblgingly stated that he has made
no plans to retire to private practice or
to seek other political honors, which
means that he is ready and willing to
serve another term on the district
bench, if it be the will of the people.
There is silence as to Judge Ensign,
but it is generally assumed that he will
not wish to carry the burden Of public
service after January 1, 1921. This
means that the voters must select a
successor. IF Judge Ensign should re-
sign and Gov. Burnquist appoint some
one to the vacancy, it would compIcate
the situation, but not prevent the
voters from selecting some one at the
polls other than the beneficiary of
gubernatorial favor.
It is generally assumed that Judge
Fesler will Welcome another term. AS
yet, he has made no expression. Rather
than to see him stand aloof, with the
judicial ermine wrapped closely around
him, grand, gloomy and peculiar, the
people will welcome and appreciate a
word as to the Feslerian wishes and
Intentions. There are things to be dis
cussed in connection with any Fesler-
ian desire for another term and it must
be discussed with the voters, not a
friendly, partisan governor.
It is stated that Judge F. H. Cut
ting is not anxious to mount the dis
trict bench. Judge Cutting not only
is modest, but he has no desire to seem
forward. II the people draft him, it
win be hard for him to say them nay.
There are indications that they pro-
pose to draft him.
] Hon. J. B. Richards, it is authori-
tattvely stated, sees no reason, ethical,
.Dsrsonal or political, why he should not
run for seat on the district bench,
provided the people show him that his
Ecandidacy is desired and that the vot-
ers propose to get behind him. If the
voters drafted Judge Cutting to sue.
coed Judge Ensign, it is not believed
that Mr.. Richards would consider It
lese majestic, improper or unfair for
him to oppose Judge Fesler, if it be
the peoples viii.
Warner e. Whipple remains a favcr-
ito with many, especially those who
know him best. Should proper support
rally around him, he would give a
splendid account Of himself at the polls.
The people wish and expect full con-
sideration in the selection and election
Of the three men who will serve them
on the bench for the ensuing six years.
The Bar association and the Blackstone
club undoubtedly viii be factors in the
problems incident to both the selec-
tion and the election.
Cards should be laid on the table,
face up, as soon as decently possible.

GUERNSEY BREEDER WILL
ALWAYS TEST HIS COWS

1t is more than year ago that
Peter Cologne and Sons, Marshalfield,
Mo-, placed their fine herd of regis
tered Guernseys on official test. This
was the first herd of cows to be placed
on test in Webster county.
"We don't ever intend to quit test
ing as long as we stay in the dairy
business" said Mr.. Cologne, land we
have been dairying so long that we
don't know how to do anything else
so it looks like that we will never quit.
Our experience may not be similar to
chose who have never done any pri-
vate testing or have not weighed their
milk daily" stated Mr.. Cologne re-
Gently. "ln our fourteen years of da-
trying we have always kept a daily
milk record and tested our cows pir-
vately in order to Gull the poor cows.
Our reason for doing official work
was to put an Advanced Registry rec
ord behind every animal in our herd
made under ordinary herd conditions
and MIXED twice day.
I'VE are not believers in forced rec
ords, for very often the COW that
makes forced record will not do half
so well when placed in good ordi-
nary dairy. The dairy COW should be
judged by what she can do one year
after another, not what she will do in
3f5 days after long rest"
Some breeders of pure bred cattle
do not put their cows on official test
because they do not feel able to milk
their cows three and four times a day.
Colobnas have proven that good herd
records are valuable. A special prize
is being offered in the Missouri Dairy
Cow Competition for the COW produc-
ing the largest amount of butter fat in
3G5 days, not MIXED over twice a day
after the 45th day from the begin
ming of the record.

STONE LAID
FOR NEW HOME ECO
NOMlCS BUILDING

TIE corner stone for the new Home
Economics building at tie University
of Missouri WAS laid Thanksgiving
morning by the Masonic lodge. w. F.
johnson of Boonville, Grand Master
of the Missouri Masonic order, Off
ciated and Governor Frederick d.
Gardner made the dedicatory address.
On tie platform besides the speakers
were: President A. Ross Hill Of the
University, David r. Francis of St.
Louis, President of the Board Of Gu
rators, and H. j. Blanton of Paris,
Mo-, a member Of the Board Of Cura-
tors, and H. j. Blanton of Paris, Mo-,
tors. The Rev. Walter Harshalter Of
Columbia acted as Grand Chaplain.
The part Of the new building now
started is less than half of the pro-
posed building, for it was deemed
wise to build well the part that is to
be finis,.ed now rather than to spread
out in order to afford sufficient space
for rooms lily adapted to the work and
in the end have cheap building. This
part of the intended building now I'M
der construction will only furnish the
necessary laboratory space, three
large laboratories on each floor, store
room and offices. There is only one
small lecture room in this portion but
a large lecture room is to be provided
in the completed building. This build
ing will conform to the other build
ings on the campus Of the College of
Agriculture which have two stories
and basement and is being construct
I'd IF T,,I
stone is being used for the finish.
There are now 215 students in the
Department and this number will be
doubled before the third term of the
school year is completed.
Sufficient funds are not now avail
able 20 complete this portion of the
building now being built and the next
Legislature will be asked to make the
necessary appropriation for this pur-
pose.

vious period. This demonstrates con-
clusively the fact that there is enough

ate receipts, yet on a reasonable sup

HOGS.-Hog trade is in very SINH
lar condition, moderate runs invaria
bly, seeing up-working price basis
such as occasioned last week, yet sup
plies which are q little over nominal,
prove a stumbling block as they have
this week and the termination is lower
prices. Today the market broke 25c
per cwt. on hogs and fully 25c to soc
on pigs. The marked assumption be-
tween this and last weeks market is
that at this time light stuffis under
the general band and selling consider
ably under the markets top, whereas
week ago pigs and light hogs were
the kind in favor and outsold the
heavy hogs by 25c per cwt.
Today's extreme top was 5000, but
the practical top was SOLO, with the
bulk of the good hogs at 1915 to $40.
Pigs $50 pounds down, SO to $3.50,
with rough packing hogs at $3.50 to
50.

heavy by any means, yet the market
has drifted downward to a material
extent. averaging fully 81 per cwt
