The exhibition of farm and garden products made in the Grill restaurant building Friday and Saturday was certainly a creditable show- ing for any county in the state of Minnesota, and more especial- ly for one of the northern coun- ties, as it has been thought by people residing in other parts of the state that the raising of good crops on cut over lands was an| which was impossibility. Many good exhibits of ;wheat, oats, corn, and all kinds of vegetables were either brought or sent in to be exhibited, and the awarding of prizes was no easy matter, where there was such general excellence. “Professor Cooper, - from the School of Agriculture at St. Anthony Park, was present and assisted in judging the exhibits and passirg on their general character. - He stated that lLe considered, the exhibit made by the residents of the school dis- tricts in Beltrami county su- perior in quality'and number to those of any yet shown in the uorth half of the state, and that he was surprised at the liberality of the business men in respond- ing to the appeal of Superinter.d- ent Regan for funds for paying prizes, over $200 having- been given. : Roy Anderson uf Grant Valley township secured first prize on corn, Adolph Klein of Bemidji second and Arthur Thompson of uzzla:third. .

I asked. ‘Not often,’ he replied. ‘Well, what's your game? said I. ‘I am going to control the whole diamond output be- fore I am much older, he answered as he got off his stool. ‘That’s funny,’ I sald. ‘I have made up my mind to do the same. We had better join hands.’” Join hands they did. Unlike Alfred Beit, Cecil Rhodes had small patience with arithmetical details. Once this characteristic Involved him In a difficulty. Pitching a balance sheet Into the pile of papers before Belt, he exclaimed desperately, “Here, you understand things. For heaven’s sake tell me how I stand.” Butterfiles That Live on Fish. The butterfly was blue and transpar- ent. As through blue glass its tiny heart could be seen beating inside its body, and the professor read a news- paper article through Its lovely blue wings. “This,” he said, “is the ptero- poda, a Mediterranean butterfly. It eats fish. On its tongue are rows of pointed hooks. They serve as teeth. This beautiful creature would turn its nose at a garden of roses and’lfi:: but it would feast ecstatically upon a putrid eel. Now and then a pteropoda is found on the Florida or the Califor- nia coast. It Is only abundant, though, in the Mediterranean.” The Power of Intuition. “The power of intultion usually spok- en of as being so mysterious Is really not so at all,” sald a woman recently. “It is merely the ordinary method of reasoning from observation Intensified. The so called Intuitional person differs from the one of more commonplace powers In possessing a keener sensi- tlveness to facts.
