The quarterly report of the business done at the Crookston land office was® prepared today and compared with that which was done for the same time a year ago. Itshows up in fine shape. The figures show that the business in every depart- ment was greater with the ex- ception of the homestead entries which were something . over twice as great a year ago. The fact is easily’ explained when it rish at just that time. The fighares for the two years are as follows: 5 - Quarter Ending ..March 31....... 1906 Homestead Entries...198 Final Proofs.....

Mrs. H. E. Reynolds has re- sigoed her position as librarian of the Bemidji public library and the position has been tendered to Mrs. H. G. Hays, who is now considering whether or not to accept the offer. Mrs. Hays has had much experience in library work and the ladies of the library association are anxious that she take up the duties of the position, with every detail of the work. How They Crossed. A father and his two sons wish to cross a river, which it is impossible to do without a boat. They have a boat which will carry only sixteen stone (224 pounds), but the father weighs sixteen stone, and each of the sons weighs eight stone. Yet in less than half an hour they are ali across the river. How do they man- ageit? ' § The riddle is an old one, but a new answer, offered by an English paper, is more ingenious than the trick solutions that the reader prob- ably remembers. Here it is: The two sons cross in'the boat. One goes back to the father. The father then crosses. The other son goes back again with the boat, and then the two sons cross together. Tobacco Injures Boys. General Baden-Powell, writing to & Bolton schoolboy, says he helicves that “smoking by fellows who arc still growing. does them an infinitc amount of harm, and those who are sensible don’t take up smoking un- til after they are' twenty years of age or so. Fellows who smoke be- fore that age generally turn out rot- ters afterward. - They only do it because they think it looks swagger and manly to smoke, but any man who has done ‘any scouting or big fume hunting knows that they arc ools.” P May Day. The Roman youths used to go into the fields and spend the calends | of May in“dancing and singing in honor of Flora; goddess of fruits and flowers. The- early English conse- crated May day to Robin Hood and the Maid Marian, because the fa- . vorite outlaw died on that day.
