WANT ALL T0 YOTE Expression of Citizens is De- sired at Bond Elec- tion Tomorrow. CdUNClL WOULD DETERMINE WILL OF PEOPLE. Sewer System and Other Improve- ments to the City are Needed at Once. One of the most important things that an American citizen has to do is to vote and it is a de- plorable fact that the majority of the yoters within this United States will not vote without being asked, persuaded or taken to the polls by some one interested. This state of affairs is very dis- couraging, especially in cases like our coming bond -election. Should there be 500 votes cast on the bonds and 400 against bond- ing the city it would please your Hon. Mayor and city council far KOOCHICHING HAS THE RIGHT A poUT MAR. 6 International Falls Petition for Division of Itasca First to Be Acted Upon. St. Paul, Feb. 19.—The peti- tioc for a new county to be named Koochiching will come up before a board consisting of the governor, the state auditor and the secretary of state at a meet- ing -today. Secretary Hanson yesterday filed with the gov- ernor, the two petitions which had been filed with him. One of them calls for anew county to be named Koochiching and to have International Falls for its county - seat. The other names the county Forest with Ripple for its county seat. Both of the petitions will have to be considered at the meeting, but the Koochiching petition having been filed two weeks earlier than the other will come up first. The attorney general has ruled ! that each proposition must be submitted for a vote separately. The Koochiching petition being in first the board will no doubs better than though we have 100 votes cast and 99 were in favor of bonding the city. The reason for this is plain. We are servants of the city of Bemidji and have decided that improvements are needed and have taken it upon ourselves to devise means where- by these improvements can be made at once, and now 'we have an opportunity and desire to get the wish of the people and to do this it will be necessary for every one to vote. Those who do not think well of the proposition from a business standpoint should vote. and those in favor of mak- ing improvements and ;paying for them by bonding the city should also vote. The council desires everybody to come and express themselyes, but should we receive but 100 votes and 99 in favor of bonding the city we would be much disappointed, as it would not be an expression of the majority of the people. The city council has been doing some hard work in starting the new machinery going and it would be a great stimulant and an incentive to continue along the same lines, if every voter would go to the polls next Tues- day and express his opinion. Our great desire is that you vote. Don’t kick after it is over but go and vote, Don’t blame the coun- cil, for ve shall do the best we can, but come and show us what you want by your vote, Don’t expect us to go through the year without making mistakes as we are not infallible, but vote and help us to keep from making mistakes. : Don’t think we want to spend our time looking after the estab- lishmwent of a sewer system and the extension of the water mains of our city unless you want them, but please vote and let us know what you do want, Respectfully, W. A GouLp, Alderman at Large. ACCUSED OF TAKING MONEY William Sizer Charged With Robbing Drunken Wouds- man—Hearing Feb. 26.

DEMAND YFOR LUMBER CAUSE OF EARLY START. Mill All Ready For Business and Will Be Put In Motion First Warm Day Next Month. Thelarge sawmillof the Crooks- ton Lumber company in this city will resume operations on or about March 6, or as soon after that date as warm weather sets in. A large crew'of men has been at work repairing the mill since the close-uplast fall, and the plant is already in shape to be operated. The heavy demand for lumber is" given asthe reason for the early start which willbe made by the company this spring. During the past few months the demand for material has been greater and the prices better than ever before, and in order to supply its orders the company decided on resuming operations as soon as possible. Of course the ice will not have broken up by the time of the starting of the mill, but arrange- ments have been made whereby the logs will be taken off the ice and sawed, so that this will not interfere with the operation of the mill.

Thisis the root crop. The 1mport.rnce of this crop is yery far mdeed from being appreciated to1ts full extent, and especially in this section of the state where grain feed is so expensive. From 12to The races were half-mile, mile and two miles. Baptie won the two mile race by two lapsand the half mile and mile races by substantial margins. Baptie won the world’s championship at Montreal last winter when he defeated Johnnie Neilson of Min- neapolis, . Peter Sinerud, the European champion and Harley Davidson, the then champion. DECISION IS SUSTAINED Supreme Court Decides In Favor of McGuire in Suit Against Logging Co. e The supreme court Saturday handed down a decision for the plaintiff in the case of Peter McGuire vs. the J. Niels Logging company, sustaining Judge Mec- Clenehan of Brainerd, who de- nied a motion for a new trial after McGuire had recovered: a judgment in the lower court in the sum of $2,300. The suit was brought in district court by McGuire on a driving contract which he had with the logging company in 1903, The company refused to pay the contract price ‘|for driving the logs,claiming that 20 tons of roots can he grown on an acre of ground and at a cost not exceeding $10, including the plowing of the ground, seed, cultivation of the crop, harvest- ing and getting them in the cellar. Twelve tons of roots, which is only a very ordinary. yield and which may be produced at the above stated expense, is equal in feeding value to either three tons of bran or shorts for dairy cows, pigs or sheep. The cost of the latter feed at the present time is over five times the expense of producing the roots. & In 1904 two acres of roots (one of rutabagas and one of mangles) were grown on the Experiment Farm. The rutabagas yielded at the rate of 13 tons per acre; the mangles 12.5 per acre. A small plot of | mangles near the barn yard, on very rich soil, yielded at the rate of 24 tons per acre. The field roots were on soil rather low in fertility.

Delicate Children: carrot should be sown in prefer- ence to mangles, owing to its greater hardiness. In yield and feeding value it is equal to the mangle, its feeding value, per. haps, being a little higher. For dairy cows either the stock carrot or mangle should be grown. Rutabagas are all right for young stock or sheep, but when fed to dairy cows they tend to impart a disagreeable fiavor to the milk. Rutabagas make splendid feed for hogs when boiled, but not raw. Mangles may be fed to hogs raw with very good results. Animals fed roots are always in 2 healthier and better condi- tion. With roots there is no need of expensive stock foods. Roots are a valuable feed, both in milk and meat production. No farmer should think of getting along without roots for his stock, especially in this;section of the state. Plan on making a start at least next spring. 2 i The best system of growing roots will be taken up in auobherl bulletin before the planting season. A. J.
