A lot of Baudette lads who are

AT THE CHURCHES

vices a real treat. The choir un
der the direction of Mrs, .Suther-
land and the orchestra in charge
of Mrs. Duncan furnish rare
opportunity to hear church music
rendered by artists.
Mr.. Gallagher's little lecture on
a storage battery proved a unique
and pleasing feature of the SER
vice. 1t was concise, clear and to
the point. This helpful favor on
his part is an opening number for
series of such talks given by
various people who are experts in
their chosen fields of work.

while doing it, especially the ranges.

According to an announcement
by the war department, the sale
of surplus war supplies since the
signing of the arnistice has
reached over 81, 436, 100000. There
are still on hand war munitions
and other goods worth between one
and two billions which it would
like to sell, but it faces the same
proposition that commercial houses
do-markets are hard to find. This
is especially so when it comes to

what to do with it.

By long odds and finest edition
of a country paper ever issued in
the northwest was the mammoth
edition of the Hibbing News. All
the pages were filled with neatly
built and arranged advertisements
and the most interesting matters
Of news. The sections devoted to
the history of Hibbing were on a
par with the Importance of the
biggest village" and breathed in
every line the spirit of the people
Of Hibbing who do things and do
them on a big scale. Editors At
kinson, (both old and young, not
forgetting Miss Beatrice) builded
something that will stand as a
browning achievement in newspaper
work on the ranges.

We are believers in a protective
tariff. This country was built up
on this way of doing business.
The tariff does not increase the
prices of American produced goods
and American goods ought to be
good enough for American people.
If they are not, then those who
prefer foreign goods ought to be
forced to pay well for the privi-
lege of patronizing foreign indus
try while millions of Americans are
in consequence forced into idleness

The parish attention is called to
an important change in the hours
of Study and Worship for the
morning. Please note that we be-
gin the church school session at
NINE-THIRTY and the morning
worship at TEN-FORTY-FIVE. The
purpose of this change is to meet
the needs of those of our worship
ers who must be away by 1900
o'clock. We shall do all we can
to make it convenient for every
body and we trust that this change
shall meet with generous response
and approval.
Comment is hardly necessary
concerning the complete success
of our pans last Sabbath. From
start to finish there was a happy
response from all in making the
day what the pastor planned it
should be. The men of the parish
feel deeply appreciative of the
labor of love by which the church
family dinner was made a most
pleasant and happy experience. 1t
is the purpose of the men to re-
turn this act of hospitality in the
near future.
The parish showed last Sabbath
how it could respond to the duties
and privileges of worship and fel.
lowship. Let this experience be,
come the normal attitude that we
do not lose the value of it.
We set a new standard of at
tendance and interest at our last
evening service. The people are
advised to come early in order tt

top of this is four feet of iron ore.
On top of the ore is an iron base

a monument. On each side of the
four sides of the shaft is a plate,
upon which appear bronzed, raised
letters. On the west plate is in

FACTS ABOUT COTTON

Ahout so per cent of the worlds supply of cotton is grown Tn Amer ica. !, .
 Cotton is indigenous to all tropl- cal and semi-tropical countries.
 Sea Islands, grown off the At lantic coast of the United States are the finest cottons in the world.
 Boil weevil has about destroyed the Sea Island cotton industry.
 Boil weevil first appeared in the United States in Brownsville, Tex, in 1892.
 A single pound of cotton has been spun into a single thread more than LOGO miles in length.
 The prospect is that there will be an unspun supply of American cotton at August 1, of 9,607,oO0 bales. Before the war the average amount of cotton on hand at that date was about 100000 bales.
 The visible supply" of cotton, and the total supply on any given date are two entirely different things.
 Manufacture of cotton goods IS the very foundation of British wealth.
 There is now enough unspun cot ton in the world to last about two years.
 The average price of middling cotton at ten leading cotton mark cts in, the South Saturday was 14.O3 cents.
 The statistical year for cotton runs from August 1st, to July 1st. U. s. Census Bureau reports 12,- , O16,OOO bales ginned to January l16. The next ginning report will be published March 20th.

COUNTY AGENTS HELP BRING
 PURE BRED STOCK TO ARK.

One of the seven lines of activity outlined for county farm agent work in Arkansas for the coming year by M. T. Payne, Director of the Az ricultural Extension Division, Uni versity of Arkansas, is pure bred live stock demonstrations. During the past year the county agents of the state have been active in the campaign for better live stock.
 Through the efforts of the coun- ty agent during 1920 practically 2,0OO head of pure bred farm ami mals were brought into the state including stallions. 20 jacks, 80 dairy bulls, SPA dairy cows, 1O1 beef bulls, 1S1 beef cows, 21l boars, S87 sows, 61 rams, and 118 ewes.
 The county agents of Arkansas have also rendered valuable assist ance to farmers in treating hogs, cattle and horses for diseases. The number of hogs treated for cholera during 1920 total 97,7S8, while 4,- $50 were treated for digestive troubles. More than 10000 head of hogs were also treated for worms and those treated for lice and mango go we'll over the 42,000 mark.
 The number of cattle treated by county agents for blackleg totals T. 623 and for anthrax 6,329. Those

BE CAREFUL IN SELECTING
 NEW VARIETY, SAYS HODSON

Before buying planting seed for the 1921 cotton crop, it will be wise to investigate the quality of the variety as well as the source of the seed, advises Edgar A. Hodson, agent in cotton marketing demon strations of the Agricultural Ex- tension Division, University of Ar kansas.
 The present low market price of cotton seed is causing large quanti- ties of planting seed to be offered at prices far above it's actual value, says MT. Hodson. "The farmer who spends a great amount of la bor and money to develop and pro- duce pure varities of cotton should receive premium for his labor and improved seed, but the gin run seed frequently offered at fancy prices are worth little more for planting than for oil.
 "The practice of selecting seed within a variety fo ra few years and then selling the seed as a new variety should be discouraged. There are in reality very few dis tinct varieties of cotton by they are called by about 800 different names.
 Seed advertised as being from a new variety producing unusual yields and staple should be invest igated thoroughly before planting and then should be planted only in very small quantities. It is wise plan to test out seed of any variety

treated for digestive troubles num- Der 2,827 while 57 head were treat ed for tuberculosis.
 The disease among horses in which the county agents rendered the greatest service was anthrax. More than $500 were treated for that disease. Fourteen horses were treated for spinal minigitis. Those treated for distemper number 100 while 165 were treated for accidents and other troubles.
