W. R. INGRAM ON_ STOCK - RAISING IN MINNESOTA Continued from First Page the off-springs when they mature are more re-numerative. This is a plain business proposi- tion and a good method for better- ing the condition of the herds at a comparatively light expense. “Less than 10 per cent of the cattle raised in Minnesota came from the northern section, but even with that percentage, Minnesota has already established a horrible reputation for her “knot heads” and “scrubs” as they are generally known. The fault lies with our northern farmers that they have failed to realize the importance of the industry, for it is an industry and one badly in need of cultiva- tion in the northern section of our state. ““The farmers of northern Minne- sota should not wait for an evolution to bring about conditions in the next five to ten years, which they have in their power to create now. “The scrub cattle can be buiit up to a higher grade by breeding the proper kind of sires. The same is true of the sheep. “The arguments that I have made time and again to live stock raisers in Minnesota applies particularly to northern Minnesota. “Last year 80,000 carcasses of fresh beef were shipped into Minne- sota to supply the demand. In numerous cases these beeves were sold on the South St. Paul market as teeders and were finished in Iowa. Then they were shipped into other packing centers, later on coming to our markets as a dressed product. “Minnesota consumers paid the freight as follows: “First to South St. Paul as feed- ers. “Second to Towa for fattening. “Third to the packing centers for slaughter. “Fourth to the retail markets.- “The differencein the price for the finished animal and the feeder certainly pays the Iowa farmers or they would not continue the practice. If thisis a paying proposition to them, why would it not be the same to our farmers? The 80,000 carcasses represent a profit to them. It represents lost energy tous. I do not think that our farmers are less thrifty but they have failed to realize the mistake they were mak- ““The prosperity of a state de pends upon its people to turn out a finished product for home consump- tion and when that point is reached to turn out a finished product for other states. The surplus over and above home demands gives a state a high reputation as a producirg or manufacturing center. This one fact means success. Two duties devolve upon the raisers of live stock: Raise all the farms can take care of, and raise a good grade. “The population of the United States has increased faster during the past twenty years than the pro- duction of live stock. The pros- perity of the country haa been so great that only the best cuts of meat are demanded. Therefore the only solution is to increase the supply and particularly increasethe quality. The DeLoys Best Ever. There will be a change of program at the Brinkman Family Theatre this evening. The three DeLoys, Tolla, Eddie and Myrtle, will pre- sent a very laughable Dutch play which they guarantee to make sad people merry and merry people more merry. Miss Myrtle will have a new treat in music for the audience and with her winning way in presentirg her songs and the clear contralto of her voice will win new admirers for her. Eddie and Tolla will also pre- sent new songs and dances, for which they are noted. They have been here for only a few evenings but they have grown so popular that Mr. Brlnkman has to turn the people away for the want of seating capa- city, so come early and get a good seat for one of the best entertain- ments in the city.

Schulz of St. Paul will lecture at the court house Friday night, July 17, choosing for his subject, “Citizenship and the Growth of Education.” His lecture is free and it is] the desire of County Superintendent Stewart and his co-workersin the swamer school that the citizens of Bemidji hear this lecture at that time.

Patton of Springfield, Il Bitterly Assails Other National Par- ties at Opening of “Dry” Conven- tion at Columbus, O. Columbus, O., July 18—The Prohi- bitfon national convention was called to order in Memorial hall by Chair- man Jones. The invocation was of- ftered by Rev. B. L. Eaton of Illinois and after the formal reading of the omll for the convention the name of Rébert H. Patton of Springfield, I, was anpounced as temporary chair- man, Mr. Patton in his address attacked the popition of the Republican and Democratic parties on the liquor ques- tion and cited proof that Abraham Lingeln was in favor of prohibition of the liquor traffic. Mr. Patton said in part: “A few wecks since the standard bearer of the Democratic party, Will- l#m J. Bryan, declared that the prohi- hitfon question would not be referred to In -either the Republican or Demo- eratic platforms. But while there is no shadow of reference or endorse- ment of prohibition in either of these platforms the Democrats have done 1y as did the Republicans and by reaffirming have placed themselves whera they have stood ever since 1876—on the side of the enemies of your home and mjine.” Mr. Pattop held the attention of the audience throughout his speech and at times moved his hearers to great enthusiasm. As he proceeded, driving shaft after shaft at the other national parties, he was cheered again and again. Reads Letter From Wade Ellis. Mr. Patton read a letter from Wade H. Bllis, attorney general of Ohio, author of much of the Republican plat- form of this year, declaring that he could find nothing in the personal lib- erty plank of the Republican platform of 1872 “inconsistent with Republican doctrine.” “Caught with the goods,” shouted some one in the audience, and, con- tinuing, Mr. Patton said that Mr. Hllis “knows what ‘Boss’ Cox of Cineinnati wants” and would not oppose his ‘wishes. “President Taft knows the same,” sald the speaker, and a laugh greeted the title given the Republican candl- date, but he corrected himself hastily. Passing from the Republican party Mr. Patton spoke of that “very talka- tive man from Lincoln” and sald that in the last sixteen years Mr. Bryan “has championed everything loose un- der the sun in the way of a political issue except the prohibition question.” This statement was greeted with a chorus of “shame, shame,” by the audience. The decided impression made by the speech of Temporary Chairman Patton resulted in an almost immedi- ate movement to make him the presi- dential nominee. The Indiana delega- tlon started the boom. Following the address of Mr. Patton the roll of the stategs was called for the announcement of the various com- mittees. An address of welcome to the delegates was delivered by Pro- fessor A. S. Watkins of Ada, O., to which a response was made by W. P. F. Ferguson of Chicago. MR. BRYAN WELL PLEASED Gratifled at Action Taken Concerning Campaign Qifts. Lincoln, Neb., July 16.—In view of the action of the national Democratic committee on the subject of the pub- lcation of campaign contributions Mr. Bryan was especially interested in the announcement of Republican Treasurer Sheldon that he would not, before election, make known the con- tributions made for the Republican campaign, but that he would do so after the election. “What would you think of a sheriff,” sald Mr. Bryan to a newspaper corre- spopdent, “Who, when approached by s an from whom a horse had been tolen, said: ‘You cannot yet your horse back, but I gan tell you who hag the horse? : Mr. Bryap upon a)l occasions mani- fests his gratification over the cam- paign publicity plapk of the Denver platform and the gotion of the na- ‘tional committee in line with it. The decision of Mr. Bryan to go to (Chicago on the 25th of this month to ‘meet the sub-cominittee of the na- ‘tiondl committee “was based on the itact that jt would he more eonvenient to all persons concérned. Mr. Bryan gtated, however, that he would not, at hat time, make any public addresses, jut would reserve his utterances until he day of the official notification of his nomination. He will leave here on the afternoon of the 24th and ex- pects to remain in Chicago but one \day. 4 The Government a Oreditor.

THOUSAND-MILE RELAY RACE | Two Thousand Boys to Participate in Novel Event. New York, July 16.—As a pistol} shot rang out on the city hall steps a little; athlete in running tights, carry- ing a silver tube containing a message from, Mayor McClellan to Mayor Busse of Chicago, darted away up Broadway on the first relay of a thousand-mile Journey to Chicago. Herbert H. Rapp was the runner and Mayor McClel- lan’s message was as follows: “To the city of Chicago: The city of New York sends greetings by the fleet runners of the Y. M. C. A. This mosvago is borne on foot without a halt from the Atlantic to Lake Mich- igan and the hundreds of boys who carry it gain no prize except the con- scibusness of having dope their best.” According to the schedule the mes- sage will reach Chicago on Tuesday, July 21. Two thousand boys will take part in the race. A strenuous effort will be made to break all rec- ords for similar events. Intense inter- est in the long sprint is being taken all over the country and crowds will meet the runners at every point on the long course to cheer them on their way. Each runner will take it on to the next point of relief. The route was divided into sections of from fifteen to ninety miles each, the Y. M. C. A. members of that district furnishing the runners to bear along the message.
