bARbERRY FIGHT.
FUND IS VOTED
House and Senate Agree on
Amount to Eradicate
Enemy of Wheat.

WashiQgton-There will be $350,O00
appropriated by the United States gov
eminent for the fight against the COM
mon barberry bush, the progenitor Of
black rust in wheat, as a result of an
agreement just reached by conference
committees Of House and Senate.
The House, in passing the agricul-
tural appropriations bill, set aside
$147, 500 for the fight on the barberry.

coded in having the amount raised to
$5OO,OOO. The bill went to conference
between the two houses and $3.50, 900

1t is expected that the various wheat
growing states will supplement the
work Of the federal government against
tbs wheat scourge. The federal au-
thorities, through the Department of
Agriculture, will assist in making
farm-to-farm survey in the wheat
states in order to eliminate the COM
mon variety of barberry.

What is that you are saying about
the Snow QueenT inquired Mr.. Junco,
"Whirr, whirr," answered the wild
wind, as it tore the dry leaves from
the tree and whirled them about like
dancing brown elves on the ground
below.
Cant you stop whirring minute
and tell us what you mean?" asked
Chickadee. How do you know so
much about this queen?"
Wild wind Gained a little and came
nearer to the questioning birds, How
do l know?" he said "Why shouldn't
l know when l always 60 to meet her.
l am getting ready now, that is why I
am whirring and circling about. for
you can never tell just how the Snow
Queen wishes to be escorted from her
home away up North
"Sometimes She comes silently and
shakes her feathery robes over the
land and then again she chooses to
come dancing like mad Queen shak-
ing her robe Of feathery white until
there is not feather left and she has
to hurry home and get another robe.
$50 you see have to be prepared
to do her bidding and that is why l
whirr and act so wild.
But If l stay here gossping l shall
not be ready to escort the Snow Queen,
50 must be off. Good day. You
watch out and soon YOU will see the
land covered with feathers from her
robe"
Away went the wild wind with
loud whtrr, whirr, while the two little
birds sat looking at each other and
wondering If 1t were all true.
The next day while they sat on
limb talking 1t over, little snowhakes
came dancing down about the tree.
They whirled hither and thither, turn
ing over and over before they touched
the ground.
1T is good thing wild wind was
ready for the Snow Queen said Mr..
Junco. "She must be shaking all the
feathers from her robe; see how fast
the snowfakes are falling?'
Eyes, and how crazy they act" re-
piled Mr.. Chicsadee. 1T will not last
long for the Snow Queen will soon
shake all the feathers from her robe
and have to 90 home for another"
AS Mr. Chickadee flew to the top Of
the tree to sing merry song, he called
to Mr.. Junco, X have learned two
things since yesterday-that you are
not the real Snowbird and what snow
flakes really are"

LAND CLEARING DEMONSTRA.
TlONS

Land-clearing demonstrations bv
the University Land Clearing Divis-
ion in cooperation with the County
Farm Bureau were held June goth
to 23rd. The first demonstration.
held at the John Lob farm midway
between Tofte and Lutsen, was at
tended by farmers from both towns.
The second was held on the grounds
of the Maple Hill consolidated school,
the third on the John Nelson farm
in Colvill and the fourth at Mineral
Center. All the demonstrations were
we'll attended, there being total of
over 200 persons present. The Ma
pie Hill, Colvill and Mineral Center
demonstrations had much of the
character of community picnics, in
Guiding fine lunch with ice cream
accompaniment, served by the ladies'
of the community.
Messrs. Mattson and Whitley, in
charge of the state outfit, demon
strated the best methods in the use
of dynamite and picric acid, the war
salvage explosive sold to farmers by
the Federal Government at the cost
of cartridging and boxing, in stump
blasting under varying conditions.
A representative of the Martinson
Stump Fuller Company was also
present and demonstrated the power
Of one-man Wheelbarrow stump
puller.
The demonstrations should help to
increase interest in the land clearing
movement in the county and bring
results in more cleared acres and
the larger production of home
grown feeds, one of the first needs
of this county.

RESTRAIN YOUR SPEECH
By F. Il. WALKER

WHEN inclined to speak Of
w persons faults, though he or
she may be unfriendly towards you,
restrain yourself, and think Of your
own shortcomings.
Then, if you are a charitable soul.
you will turn your conversation into
another channel where there are no
hidden dangers and go sailing under
clear skies in joyous sunshine.
One thoughtless, impulsive, SIAN
derous word spoken in the presence
of others, and particularly in the hear
ing OF those given to gossip and dis
posed to magnify what they hear,
may ruin an innocent man or woman
for life.
Clean your own house before you
Set about the task Of cleaning the
house Of your neighbor.
Purge your own soul of shortcom-
ings and you will find yourself so
busy In doing it that you will not have
time nor inclination to discuss the
defects of others
LET him without SIM" said the
Master of Men, least the first stone"
And the accusers of hapless woman
stole away, one by one.
Your faults and my faults have come
down to us through the ages.
So, let us always curb our speech,
wherever we may be and think noble
thoughts instead Of the kind that de-
base others and ourselves as we'll.
Aside from the good policy Of speak
ing no evil, there comes to the man
or woman who may adopt it, divine
sense of serene happiness that cheers
our way like the stars of night.
And another thing that accompanies
such course is the ability to make
friends and hold them in all sorts Of
weather.
In lying down to sleep, in waking
and in motion, there come no regrets,
no torments to torture a guilty con-
science, no remorse that ages the
heart and drives the soul to despair.
II it did nothing else, this char
liable observance would serve at least
to give you peace, make you great
hearted and enable you at all times
to strike the incest balance between
right and wrong, and to hold the re-
spect and love of the community In
which you live.
And after all is said and done, what
is there more to be desired in life
than the good will Of neighbors, whose
hearts and hands are always warm
and friendly7

THE REASON WHY
By f. II. WALKER

TN EVERYDAY contact with such
lens as regularly come up for
solution in the home or the office,
adopt a process Of reasoning them out
In your own way.
You will find If you steadfastly per-
slst In such course that you will
soon reach higher stage Of think
ing, necessary always to higher state
Of efficiency.
Accepting some ones say-so with
out giving serious thought to the
answer or inquiring as to the reason
why, 1s an unwise thing to do.
In spite Of whatever innate clever
ness you may have, If this dependence
or some one else is continued, there
Will never come to you an opportunity
to show this ability.
You Will form the harmful habit
of leaning on others instead of stand
Ing alone in your own strength and
trusting unreservedly in SELF
Those upon whom you rely for adj
vice will keep ahead of you just as
long as you court their company and
assistance.
BY pursuing such course you ad.
NIT incompetence and lack of force,
which disqualify you for leadership
and advertise to your employers that
you are second-grade man or woman,
incapable of forming judgment without
help from others.
TO observe, reflect and apply ought
to be the high purpose Of every man
and woman in the stern battle of life.
Observe as child and keep observ-
ing until you find the reason why.
If you will reflect, sift out the chaff
from the wheat, you will in a short
time be qualified to Judge the good
from the worthless and pick out the
best every time you are called upon
to make a decision.
With this newly acquired ability,
you will know unerringly how to
choose the right course and follow It
with strength and assurance.
Instead of being a weak dependent
wavering uncertain and timid, you will
grow steadily into a strong, bold leader
capable of shouldering great response.
billtles.
Keep your eyes open, use the mind
given you by the Creator, figure the
value of everything that has direct
bearing on your work, apply the useful
and you will encounter no real Difficult
ties in finding the reason why, or in
piercing the bulls eye of success with
an arrow of your own making.

DO We GET A BUMP
WHEN We HIT
OUR HEADS?

IF YOU would take something not
4 quite as rigid as your head-a soft
leather ball, for example-and jam
1t against the corner Of a table, a
distinct dent or hollow will appear. II
you strike rubber ball or any other
resilient object against the same pro-
lection, the dent will appear only for
moment and the ball will then fill
out and be as round as formerly.
Why, then, don't we get dents in our
heads instead of bumps?
The answer is that we do, but they
fill up so rapidly that we do not
notice them and are conscious only of
the bump which appears almost i'm
nediately thereafter and remains for
some time. This bump Is caused by
the operations of the body In repair
ing the injury resulting from the
blow. An increased supply of blood
is rushed to the spot and the sur
rounding veins become distended in
taking care of this over-supply. Other
healing fluids are also brought to the
injured place to assist In rapid re-
covery and the presence Of these, to-
gether with the blood, forces the skin
10 rise. A blow on the head will
cause larger bump" than elsewhere
on the body because the skin is
stretched tightly ever the skull and
the Intervening space Is very narrow.
Hence the skin must be pushed up
further to make room for the heal
