ARGUMENT.
SMALL and nonchalant canar!

A SMALL and nonchalant canary
n settled a controversy recently
~ that had stumped the COM
a pined brains of the Better
Business Bureau and an F street de-
partment store. according to j. Frank
Ballenger of the bureau.
A local lady purchased q canary
from the emporium this Summer and
found that the fetching little feathereo
creature never sang. She knew that
female canaries 90 not sing and COM
planned to the department store tnar
her bird probably was feminine. The
department store insisted with all
OF the force of its fine reputation
that the bird was male. and the con-
troversy finally arrived at the Bet
ter Business Bureau.
Br. Ballenger was not able to
arbitrate successfully until the other
morning when the canary bird owner
arrived at the bureau with fire in her
eye. She thrust out a nano
triumphantly revealing two canary
bird eggs.
Now will you believe that that
canary Is female?" she demanded.

import duty was assessed at the
port of entry it would make it i'm
possible for the foreign exporter to
make a profit sending the butter
into this country.
The estimated production for
March so far available shows that
tutter production increased 9 per
cent above last year and cheese
production increased 20 per cent.
In view Of these increases the pric-
es in 1886 have held up very well.
The estimated March production
OF creamery production of butter
in Minnesota as compared to March
1885 showed an increase of 20 per
cent while in Wisconsin and Iowa
the percentage changes were IL
and % per cent respectively. For
the first three months of the cal
endar year butter production is es,
timated to have exceeded that of
1885 by 100000 pounds or SO per
cent. The quantity of butter in
cold storage on April I was 5,291,-
600 pounds which Is practically the
same amount as a year earlier but
less than half of the April 1st aver
age during the period of 1881 to
1885 inclusive. This amount is of
no significance from the stand
point Of supply.

To Organize Stearns
Purple Heart Chapte,
Colorful Order Founded September
FL, 1932-Purple Heart De-
signed by Washington

On Sunday May "a, 1896, at Hoo
a. m, the Commander of the De-
partment of Minnesota, Harry c.
Huston, and members of his staff
will be at the Breen Hotel, st.
Cloud, Mimi, their purpose being
the establishment Of the Stearns
County Chapter of the Military Or
der of the Purple Heart.
The Order was founded Septem-
Der p, 1882, by group of veterans
who had been decorated with the
Purple Heart Medal and 1t has had
a phenomenal growth, being active
in twenty-odd states of the Union,
with prospects brighter than ever
before.
The Order being founded on the
decoration, the following history
becomes interesting:
The Purple Heart was designed
by that greatest and sternest man
ir the entire history Of the United
States. For George Washington
himself created and planned the
Purple Heart and named it the
Badge of Military Merit. This was
the first decoration given in our
country and the second in the
world.
An entry in Washington's Order
ly Book on August 7, 1882, is con-
sidered one of the great documents
OF our democracy. It reads:
1.-The General, ever desires to
cherish virtuous ambition in his
soldiers as we'll as to foster and en-
courage every species Of military
merit, directs that whenever any
singular meritorious action is per-
formed, the author of 1t shall be
permitted to wear on his facings
over the left breast, the figure Of
a heart in purple cloth, or silk,
edged with narrow lace or binding.
Not only instances of unusual gal
lantry, but also Of extraordinary
fidelity and essential service in
any way shall meet with a due re-
ward. Before this favor can be con-
fered on any man, the particular
fact, or facts on which it Is to be
grounded, must be set forth to the
commander-in-chief, accompanied
with certificates from the COM
handing officers of the regiment
and brigade to which the candidate
for reward belonged, or other in
contestable proofs, and upon grant
ing it the name and regiment of
the person with the action so GER
titled are to be enrolled in the book
of merit which will be kept at the
orderly office. Men who have mer-
tied this last distinction to be suf-
fcred to pass all guards and sentin-
els which officers are permitted to
do.
THE road to glory in a patriot
army and a free country is thus
open to all. This order is also to
have retrospect to the earliest
stages of the war, and to be con-
si6ered as a permanent one"
It can thus be understood how
unique an organization this really
is, for it is composed entirely OF
men who were wounded or gassed
in action or who are the recipients
of the Meritorious Citation Certifi-
cate.
Commander Huston urges that
eligible veterans Of Stearns county
meet with him and his staff at the
time and place previously mention
ed and while this applies specifical-
ly to those men who have received

Review Of Agricultural
Situation of Interest
Interesting Facts Revealed
BY Monthly Report of
Agricultural Economics

(By County Agent LenZmeier)
A few items of economic interest
to all farmers are called to their
attention by the extension office at
st. Cloud as revealed by the month
ly report Of the Agricultural Sit
uation" by the Bureau Of Agricul-
tural Economics at Washington, D.
c. The report in itself is rather
lengthy but a few general items
will show that the agricultural sit
uation is improving. The cash in
come received by farmers from
products sold during the first three
months of 1896 was s1,538,OOO, 900
compared to $1,2S1 100000 for the
first three months Of 1885. This re-
presents an increase of 20 per
cent. The year which ended June
30, 1885 showed 4,311 farmers bank
rupt compared to AIS the previous
year and 5,917 in 1888.
Commenting on the livestock sit
uation the report brings out
that in spite of the fact that
the slaughter under federal inspec-
ton in packing houses increased
considerably over a year ago that
livestock prices are still almost as
good as they were a year ago. Hog
prices for the first four months of
1886 were higher than the cores
pending period of the past year and
this increase in price was mostly
due to increased buying power on
the part Of consumers.
Stearns county is primarily a
dairy county and therefore the ex-
tension office at st. Cloud feels
that the situation, as far as dairy
products are concerned will be OF
most interest to the people. The
following quotation from the Gag
ricultural Situation" for May will
be of interest: lone situation which
is quite different from last year is
the falling off of imports since the
domestic prices are now unattract.
i've to foreign producers. Move.
ments of dairy products into chan.
nels of trade continue heavier thar
in 1885" In the last year there has
teen a great deal of discussion or
the imports of agricultural pro
ducts and the best informed observ.
ers are generally contending that
the imports into this country were
rather high because the American
prices were high. They likewise
reason that as soon as the Ameri-
can price went down a little that
the attractiveness CT the American
market to the foreign would like
wise be reduced. The statement
was made that foreign butter pric-
es are now at a point which makes
shipments to the United States un.
profitable. On April % New zea.
land butter was quoted at 19kc at
London to which would have to be
added a 14c import duty. Then this
