SECRETARY TAFT SPEAKS _AT CROOKSTON MONDAY | Local Republicans Are Talking of Run- ning Special Train to Crookston Monday Morning. Local republicans have been noti- fied that the Hon. William H. Taft, republican candidate for president of the United States, will deliver an address at Crookston at 2:20 next Monday, at which time he will be in the “Queen City” on a special train, It has been suggested that a special train be run to Crookston starting at Cass Lake ea}ly Mon- z WILLIAM H. TAFT. day morning and taking those who desire to gofrom the towns between Cass Lake and Crookston. Should such a special be arranged it is believed that a train load of enthusiasts would go to Crookston to hear Mr. Taft. It is rarely that an opportunity is given to hear a presidential candidate speak and as the campaign this fall is a strenu- ous one, all who can go should hear Mr. Taft, whether there is a special train or not.

The subject of the sermon will be the “Unpardonable Sin.” Sunday school at 4 p. m. County Fair. Continued from First Page Minnesota as a whole. This very desirable result is obtained simply by the proper use of common barnyard manure in maintaing the fertility of the soil.” Prof. Bull stated that at the last census Beltrami county was credited with having 2535 horses, 6461 ‘cat- tle, 1692 sheep, and - 1342 hogs, on anarea of approximately two and one-half million acres. This is one horse for every 74 acres, one cow for every 24 acres, one sheep for every 110 acres and one hog for every 140 acres. This was cer- tainly a poor showing for a country which was fast coming to the front in every other manner, except that of raising livestock. “You cannot maintain the fertil. ity of the soil without having live- stock about the premises. Live- stock is absolutely necessarv for the class of soil which we have in north- ern Minnesota,” said Professor Bull. The professor strongly advocated |the growing of clover and told of the beneficial results therefrom. “When the mining industry gives away and the forests are gone, farming will be the only salvation of this state,” said Prof. Bull. “There should be more intensive farming instead of more extensive farming,” said the speaker. “‘By intensive farming the farmer will make more morey out of a 160- acre farm than a 1000-acre farm. “Educate your boys and girls along the line of farming. The school of agriculture furnishes a splendid education for boys and girls and they should be given some of the instruction in this college.” Prof. Bull told of the short course in agriculture at the University of Minnesota Agricultural College, which usually begins on January 10 and lasts six weeks. The speaker declared that .the expense of attending this short course would not exceed $50 out- side of the transportation, and advised all the farmers who could to take the course. “This is not an era of grains. It is an era of grasses and clover. By all means grow less acreage and more grain per acre.” The last speaker on the pro- gram was A. J. McGuire of Grand Rapids, Superintendent of the Northeast Experimental Farm, who chose as his subject ¢The Methods of Farming for This Sec. tion of the State, with Accent on the Cow, the Hog and the Chicken.” In introducing Prot. McGuire, Secretary Mackenzie stated that Mr. McGuire was not married and he believed that the gentleman from Grand Rapids was looking noon. s S among the lady ’Iarméxs who were [ single as well 38 among the farm- ers and theif wives. Prof. McGuire began his talk by stating that he had nearly soured on Bemidji, as he had been here on several occasions and had never seen a representative gather- ing of business men or farmers at any of the previous meetings. He was pleased to ses a goodly crowd of both farmersand business men before him on this occasion. Mr. McGuire began by telling of his experiences with the farmers of Clearwater county, and asserted that the foundation of successful farming was dairying, and -the dairy cow was, he believed, the salvation of the country. He had been in close touch with the sturdy farmers of Clearwater county for the past three years and had advised many of them in their pursuits. He had always advised dairying and had been instrumental in organizing several creamery as- sociations and erecting creameries. Mr. McGuire told of the starting of the creameries and asserted that the farmers over in Clearwater county had stuck together and from the first dav the associations were started there had not been one word of discord; they all worked together in harmony, ‘ with splendid results; the creameries had all been paying propositions. ‘“You should reach out to im- prove the class of cows you have,” said Mr, McGuire. “Try to make your cows improve from the animals that produce 250 pounds of butter per year to the kind that produce 350 pounds.” _The farmers at Meadows, in Clearwater county, had organized for the betterment of their dairy cows, with the result that he (Mr. McGuire) had bought for them five pure-bred Holstein animals that would be used in the progress of raising better dairy cows there, He was of the belief that within ten years to come Meadows would be one of the foremost aairy com- munities in the north half of the state—they had started right, and were using up-to-date methods. “The dairy cow produces more for the feed given than any product of the farm,” said Mr McGuire. ¢Stick to dairying and you will succeed, farmers,” The speaker related the condi- tions in Meeker county, where dairying had been tollowed quite extensively. «Meeker county has not had a mortgage foreclosure in five years, and the farmers are ail prospeous, Dairy farmers prosperous, the world over.” Mr. McGuire deplored the small showing made in the livestock department at this fair. There should be more livestock raised in Beltrami county—and this was just where the farmers were fall- ing down, Many farmers had stated to Mr. McGuire that he had the state at his back and could do anything he desired. This was true, but he had demonstrated at Grand Rapids that with economical measures great results can be secured in dairy farm- ing. Mr. McGuire advocated the rais- ing of clover as a means of sustain- ing the fertility of the soil, and told of raising clover at the experimental farm and the installing of a clover huller. He had raised clover on two acres of ground which had pro- duced six bushels of clover seed— worth $18 per bushel—showing the value of the clover as a money-pro- ducer. In conclusion, Mr. McGuire importuned the farmers present to study farming as they would any other industry and not get the notion into their head that all that could de produced on a farm is wheat. “By all means engaged in dairy- ing. The dairy cow is a money maker all the year around; and she is worth her keep, repaying ten-fold the care and expense given her.” SMITH FAMILY AWARDED BABY AND FAMILY PRIZE are Grant Valley Farmer Has Largest Family, and Also Has Prize-Win- ning Baby. The baby show yesterday after- noon was one of the best parts of the fair, and, contrary to general expectations, the results obtained by the judges met with the general approval of the entire crowd, which is something extraordinary for a show of this kind. When_the time came to judge the bables, ex-Mayor Ludington, who was to act as one of the judges, could not be found, ‘and Alderman John Washburn was chosen to act with Mayor Pogue and ex-Mayor Carter.’ There were a fine lot of young- sters, showing the rising genera- tion of Beltramhi county to be sec- ond to- mone on earth, and many exprassions of condolence were heard from the judges, who appar- ently had a difficult task. However, the judges acquitted themselves nobly. They gave the first prize to Gertrude Smith, a trim little miss of 5 months, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith of Grant Valley township; and to make their judg- ment more secure they gave to the family of Mr. and Mrs. Smith the prize for having the largest family, The Smith family consisted of the following: Lena, aged12; Adam, 10; Ellis and Dora, 8; Rosie, 7; Charles, 4; Annie and Mary, 3; Gertrude, 5 months. Tn speaking of the actionof the judges, Mayor Pogue says: “There were so many fine babies that were so good looking and so neatly dressed that we couldn’t de- cide except by a secret ballot, and we gave the prize to the Smith baby. The babies were certainly the finest! lot of chilcren I ever saw.” Baptist Church. Morning service at 10:45. “Rally Day” at the Baptist churck. A good program is prepared by the school, of songs, duets, recitations, etc. It is expected that every scholar enrolled will be present, besides all the members of the “cradle roll,” with their parents. Let this be the best “Rally Day” ever held in the above church. 10:45. Don’t forget the time. Sabbath school 12:10. B. Y. P. M. 7:00. Evening service 8:00. Sub. ject—"Weighed in the Balances.” Special music at the evening service. Newby’s Horses at Ashland. A special telegram from Ashland to the Duluth News-Tribune says that Brownie Mac, driven by Thomas Newby of this city, won the 2:20 pace. The race was fora purse of $300 and Brownie Mac won the first fourth and fifth heats, being second in the second and third heats to Vera C. Evidently, Brownie is going like the wind, these days. In the free-for-all race, the best Prince Hal could do was to get second place, he being third in the first heat, second in the second and third heats to Afrite C., the fast Winnipeg pacer. Evidently they haven’t got the right “dope” yet to get the big pacer going his beats. Train Late—Logs on Track. The south-bound M. & passen- ger train, which is due hereat g:15 a. m., is reported to be five hours late today, caused by the wreck of a logging train at Blackduck. Several cars of logs helonging to the Crookston Lumber company struck a switch near Blackduck and ripped up several yards of track as well as piling up the logs. The passenger train is stalled on the north side of the wreck. A wrecker was sent up from here this morning and the track will probably be cleared this afternoon. Additional Locals " P. . McKeon of Brainerd “faired” in the city yesterday and went to Big Falls last evening. Chester D. Thresher came in from Guthrie last evening for a short business visit in the city. Mrs. R. C. Payne of Ball Club ar- rived in the city yesterday a fternoon to attend thc county fair while visit- ing with friends. Alex Thompson of Crookston, northwestern manager for the Min- neapolis Brewing company, arrived in the city yesterday noon on busi- ness for his company. Isinetta Was Third. In the 2:07 class pace at Colum- bus, Thursday, Isinetta, owned by J. W. Irwin, was third to Fred D, which horse won the race in straight heats, the best time of which was 2:04 %. Evidently the “bunch” was to fast for Isinetta. Your Sunday Dinner. The Merchants hotel will serve a special Sunday dinner at 12:30 to which they extend a cordial invita- tion to the public. The service wil be the very best. - Confirmation Services. There will be confirmation services in the Norwegian Lutheran church Sunday forenoon, when a large class will be confirmed. i tional political developments accom- ROOSEVELT 70 GO ON STUMP Said President Will Tour the Middle West. Chicago, Sept. 2 .—President Roose- velt may make a trip through the ‘West in the interest of the Republican national ticket, similar in respect and extent to that which Mr. Taft has begun. Quasi-official announcement to this effect came from the Republican na- tional headquarters, following a con- ference in which Mr. Taft, Chairman Hitchcock, Secretary Hayward and other influential members of the Re- publican national committee were par- ticipants. Chairman Hitcheock did not afirm or deny the report that the president is to take the stump and make a whirlwind tour of the Mississippi val- ley and the states farther west, but the general impression prevailed so strongly among the Republican lead- ers in Chicago that it became an ac- cepted fact that the presidential tour through the West will begin shortly after Mr. Taft returns from his pres- ent speaking tour.

Carthage, Mo., Sept. 2 .—St. Louis end San Francisco passenger train No. 304, bound for St. Louis, was wrecked a mile and a half west of Carthage at a curve close to Spring river. Lew Blood, the engineer, and Harry Ger rouse, the fireman, were pinned under the engine in the steam and instantly Kkilled and more than forty passengers ‘were more or less seriously hurt. Some of the Injured, it is said, will die. The train was a local and was made up at Carl Junction, Mo. The engine and baggage car went into the river and all of the other cars left the track and turned over. When the wreck oc- curred the train was traveling at a high rate of speed. Something went wrong with the engine when a sharp curve was reached and the engine darted off the track and down a fifty- foot embankment, carrying the bag- gage car with it into the river. As soon as mews of the wreck was re-| ceived physicians left from Carthage, Joplin and other nearby towns for the scene. FOREST FIRES DESTRUCTIVE Minnesota’s Loss $10,000,000 and Mich- Igan’s $40,000,000. ‘Washington, Sept. 2 .—The forest fire losses in Minnesota alone may ag- gregate $10,000,000, according to a re- port wired to the forest service by R. ‘W. Pullman, the government expert sent from Waghington to make an in- vestigation. He says: “Just in from Hibbing and Chis- holm. Country very dry. Woods like tinder. Brush fires everywhere. Tong rain only hope. Conservative estimate loss $5,000,000 to $10,000,000, including Chisholm, $1,500,000.” Ann Arbor, Mich., Sept. 25.—Profes. sor Gilbert Roth, state forester, who has just returned from the forest fire district of Northern Michigan, said that 1,000,000 acres of timber had been burned. He estimated the loss on smnding timber alone at $10,000,000 and said additional losses on mer- chantable timber, country residences and crops would run the losses above $40,000,000. TYPHOON IN PHILIPPINES. 8torm of Terrific Velocity Covers Large Area. Manila, Sept. 2 .—A typhoon of ter rific velocity swept through the cen- tral portion of the Philippine group, sweeping part of the island Samoara, { Northern Leyte, Southeastern Luzon, Northern Panay, Masbate and part of Romblon. The typhoon disappeared in the China sea, moving in a direc- tion west by northwest. ‘Wires are prostrated and available details of the damage done are mea- ger. It is evident, however, that se-| rious disaster followed in the wake of the sudden storm. A telegram from i a town in Masbate reports that every { building in the place was razed, with gia single exception of the postal uilding. A dispatch received from Romblon says that the typhoon caused a great loss of property and that un- deubtedly many persons have been killed. Stock Market Very Buoyant. New York, Sept. 2 .—The stock mar- ket had a very bnoyant closing, with prices of the speculative stocks up from three to five points on the day. These included the Harriman and Hill, St. Paul, Reading and the copper in- dustrials. The enormous transactions in Unfon Pacific were ascribed to Standard Oil forces and this specula- tive supposition decided the tone of the whole market.

Orly one ballot was taken by the jury after receiviag the instruc- tions. * As this is the first of the riot cases, involving a total of 117 indict. ments returned by the grand jury, it {s considered quite significant.
