FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHOIR.

The choir of the First Congrega-
tional Church, Ruby Smith Stahl
director and leading soprano, pre-
scented the first a capella musical pro-
gram at the evening service held in
the Eighth Street Temple last night.
The compositions chosen were all
worthy and, in several cases, very
difficult numbers. The choir acquitted
itself very well, indeed, on this in
augural occasion. The diction was
clear and excellent, the undertone
quality and sustaining of rhythms so
necessary to good a capella singing
We're constantly in evidence and the
organ-like swelling to fortissimo tones
was convincingly and resonantly done.

the stage where they can sing these
selections from memory.
The quartet, composed of Mrs. Stahl,
Dorothy Halbach, contralto F. Madi-
son Taylor, tenor, and John G. Smith,
bass, .sang a couple of numbers.
There was not complete ease and bal
ance in their work, however, due prob
ably to the fact that they have not
sung as a quartet for a long period.
A vocal quartet, like a good string
quartet, needs frequent and persistent
practice for years to achieve remark
able results.

TRY 1T ON THE PEDDLER

The other day, according to information, a
peddler selling silk hosiery, stopped at door in
this city and started TO interview the housewife.
As soon he came to period, the lady said,
"Say, you just the I looking for,
come in and sit down." The pedder with visions
of good-sized order, sank down into the cush-
ions of the easiest chair in the parlor. Then the
lady said, ''Now I am on the finance committee of
our church and know how much you are interested
in Bemidji and I am going to let you make sub
scription to the pastors salary. I so glad you
dropped in this morning" The peddler swallowed his
Adams apple two three times, spared around
to get his words and then said, "We you see, lady,
do not live here. My home is in Minneapolis and
the family gives something to the church there so
guess you will have to pass me up" The lady
continued to urge contribution to the support
of the pastor, but she did not get it and as soon
as he could get away, the young man bowed him
self out. The incident is interesting. Building up
a town is community effort. The town is built
up as we all cooperate The peddler who gets money
for merchandise sold in the village and then de-
parts is not of the cooperators. The more
peddlers and the more business they do the poorer
the town becomes as town. The next time ped
dler rings your doorbell, sound him out on the
church subscription proposition.-Bemidji Sentinel

Agricultural Notes
Salt Bath Will Check
Ergot Losses In Rye

Threshing of rye and the near
return of planting time serve to
call attention anew to the losses
caused by ergot, a black body
which forms on the heads of the
grain and lowers the grade and
cuts the price in the markets of
the country. Although most COM
mon on rye, wheat, barley and
oats are not immune to the at
tacks of ergot.
The disease is caused by a fun
gus which infects the grain at
poisoning time. The blackened
grains, so readily detected, are not
the only loss. Blasted kernels and
empty buds usually appear in the
head in direct proportion to the
number of black bodies. Diseased
heads are shorter and lighter than
unaffected heads, and the yield is
thus greatly reduced when ergot
is present. AS the disease usually
does not live over in the soil or
seed grain for more than a year
a rotation of crops of two or more
years will help to control ergot in
lection.
Plant disease specialists of the
University of Minnesota say that
seed rye given salt bath will
produce a crop practically free
from ergot. The grain should be
placed in 20 per cent solution of
common salt made by dissolving
about 40 pounds of salt in 25 GAL

661 Gopher Herds On
National Honor Roll

The National Honor Roll of the
National Dairy Association will
this year bear the names of gel
Minnesota dairy herd owners as
compared with an even 500 names
last year. In 1925 there were 6,735
Minnesota cows in these honor
herds; this year there are around
5000.
Certificates are awarded every
year by the association to owners
of herds of five cows or more in
testing associations, having an av-
erage production per COW of 800
pounds or more bIIterfat in twelve
months. The records are made up

distributed to the winners through
the county agent offices. Some of
the testing associations are plan

Ions of water. When the grain is
stirred, the black bodies and shriv-
eled and light weight grains come
to the top and can be easily skim
med off. If the ergot bodies do not
float readily, more salt should be
added to the solution; or if the
sound kernels float, more water.
After being treated the seed grain
must be washed in at least one
change of water to avoid serious
impairment in terminating ability
on account of the salt. When
freed of salt by washing it can be
given the regular, formaldehyde
treatment to good advantage.

couple of weeks ago the Herald had occasion
to criticse United States Senator Henrik Shipstead
for attending and taking part in meeting of
Sacco-Vanzett sympathizers at Superior, Wis.,, a

The Senator has written the Herald editor letter
in which he states that he not at the meeting;
that he did not receive invitation to attend and
that he did not even know such a meeting was held.
Many of the papers of the State were lead astray
in this matter because the Duluth Herald, usually
very reliable, carried story to the effect that SEN

the meeting. The Herald makes this explanation at

Obey Traffic Laus
PreDenf Accidents
Slowing Down at School Houses

Il
i Now that schools are opening il
all parts of the state, it is well fol
motorists to note the new section
IN the state law which fixes fifteen
miles an hour as a reasonable
speed when passing a school dur
ing school recess or while children
are going to or leaving school dur
ing opening or closing hours"
Like the other speed regulations
in the Minnesota law, this is not
fixed limit. Every driver must
observe ga speed not greater than
is reasonable and proper, having
due regard to the traffic, the sur
face and width Of the highway, and
OF any other conditions then ex-
isting."
This means that near school
houses he must have the vehicle
under control so that he can slow
down to five or ten miles, or stop,
II necessary. On the other hand,
an accident or arrest during the
hours named, the burden of proof
would be on him to show that the
speed was not unreasonable.
Stopping School Buses
1t may he timely to repeat the
provision of the law which requires
any vehicle carrying school chill
dren to come to complete stop
before crossing any steam or cleo
trio railway crossing. This ap-
plies whether the crossing has a
Stop" sign or not.
Accidents resulting from COLI
sions between trains and school
buses are among the most tragic
that occur, and every possible pre-
caution should be taken to prevent
them.
Begging Rides and Hitching
While on the subject of safety
of school children, we also repeat
the warning against begging rides,
hitching and stealing rides.
The state law prohibits riding or
jumping into or upon any vehicle
without the consent of the driver. 1
1t prohibits hitching any bicycle,
toboggan or hand sled onto any
motor vehicle.
These practices are all danger
Gus. Children, for their own safe
ty, should obey the law. Parents,
teachers and school authorities will
do well to warn all children against
these dangers.
Buying Traffic Hampered by
Passing Traffic
The Chicago Regional Planning
Association has coined a new
term; in laying out Dy-passes it
has provided for two distinct types
which it terms "buying traffic"
and passing traffic"
Buying traffic is an asset to a !
city or town, while passing traffic
is liability. Communities that
will make proper provision will
find that these two classes will
automatically segregate themselves
to the great profit Of the commun-
lty.
The ideal location for a mair
trunk line is through the ou,~,
skirts of the city or village with
suitable streets leading to the bus
mess section. This situation is
probably one of the hardest to deal
with as the merchants fear that
their trade will be ruined if the
traffic does not pass their very
door. Yet the best way to ruin
their trade is for the traffic to be
so dense that the passing motorist
cannot find a place to stop and
park and drives out into the coun-
try hoping to find a hot dog stand
where he can get some gas and a
bite to eat. The presence of so
many of these roadside stands is
proof that this condition exists in
too many places.--Llncoln High
