By no means the least among the many good results from the Bemidji conference of Northern Minnesota counties was the interested and interesting discussion of the subject of agricultural education. It wasan eyeopener to many there who never had had the value and importance of the subject brought to their atten- tion, and it is fair to say that an im- pulse was given at that meeting to the movement for the spread of agri- cultural knowledge that will be quite as great a help to it as anything that has happened. One thing made very clear there is that the cause of agricultural edu- cation in this state is being sadly handicapped by dissensions caused by those who appear to place more value upon the particular methods of agricultural education to which they are committed than they do upon agricultural education itself. The familiar debate between the ad- vocates of the congressional district agricultural college, the advocates of the agricutural high school and the advocates of the county agricultural school, was rehearsed there, remind- ing those tamiliar with legislative history of the many occasions when legislation for agricultural education has been defeated because these embittered advocates of inhar- monious plans were unable to agree. It needs to be impressed upon these well-meaning but short-sighted partisans that what is needed first is agitation for more agricultural edu- cation, and that when the state is committed to a broad and liberal and progressive policy in this matter will be time enough to talk about methods, The need and the value of agri- cultural education both are -two- pronged; for there is the need of agricultural education to interest the boys and keep them on the farm, and there is the need of agricultural winter; 75 ! education to prevent wastes and to make the soil yield its utmost with- out exhaustion. Both must be con- sidered, and each is more important than the dispute between the various plans. To one not committed to any plan, but firmly favoring agricul- tural education as well as industrial education and the teaching of domestic science, it would seem that Prof. A. M. Dunton, who presides over an agricultural high school of his own creation at MclIntosh but wiio favors elementary agricultural instruction in rural schools as a foundation for higher work in such schools as that at Crookston, has about as sensible a view of itas anybody. Mr. Dunton, it is said, has done more for agricultural edu- cation in this state than any other man; and he has done nothing better than his stand against the encroach- ments of the high schools upon the rural schools. As to the value of agricultural education, not only to boys who will become farmers but to men who have farmed for many years, while it should need no argument whatever, an incident related at the Bemidji conference illustrates its possibilities. Near a small town in Minnesota was an old-fashioned farmer who had a small herd of cows which he was handling in the good old traditional way, which isn’t a good way at all. An expert went to his farm, remained there two days watching, and when he left gave suggestion as to feeding which immediately resulted in an increase of six gallons of milk in the daily yield of that small herd. That is just one item; but if similar instruc- tion could be given to every farmer who needs it, the result would be an enormous increase in the profits of farming. Minnesota needs a vast extension of agricultural education, and it will be nearer getting it than itis now when there is more discussion of the need and less dispute as to methods of meeting it.—Herald, Duluth. | BY THE WAY I The moment a man is paid for being in a particular place, it begins to become unpleasant.

Chicago, March 9.—After eight morths of married life Mrs. Mabelle E. McGavin has begun divorce pro ceedings in the district court against former Congressman Charles McGavin, ‘whom she married June 30, 1909, after a romantic courtship, in which his eloquence won her heart. While the bill charges only extreme and repeat- ed cruelty Attorney Rocco de Stefano, representing Mrs. McGavin, forecasts sensational developments. The filing of the divorce bill marks the end of a romance which began last summer when Mabelle Talty, a beau- tiful Southern girl of twenty-two and an heiress, captivated by McGavin’s oratorical powers, eloped with him and became his wife. The former congressman had come from comparative obscurity to a posi- tion of prominence following an im- passionate speech before congress. In the address he had struck at the sacri- fice of American heiresses on the altar of title to European noblemen. ECHO OF CHERRY DISASTER Mining Company Settles With Fame ilies of Victims. Chicago, March 9.—With fifty claims of widows and other relatives of the Cherry mine disaster victims settled by payments.ranging from $800 to $1,200 per death the St. Paul Mining company has entered into negotiations with counsel in something like 100 more cases to settle with the victims’ widows at the rate of $1,800 in each case. The rate of settlement was agreed upon at a conference between attor- neys representing the widows and counsel for the mining company. In the mine disaster 264 men were Kkilled. Of this number 157 left widows with 423 children, while 107 of the victims were single men. SIX COUPLES IN HOSPITAL Dozen Persons Knocked Out at “Dan- cing Marathon.” San Francisco, March 8.—Six men and six women were taken to a hos- pital after dancing without interrup- tion for 14 hours and 41 minutes at the first annual “dancing Marathon” in San Francisco. The six couples remaining on the floor at the close will divide a purse of $140. The legs and backs of all were badly swollen and three of the women probably will be confined in the hospital for a week or more.

FIGURES VARY WIDELY Union Leaders Claim Over One Hun dred Thousand Men Are Out, but City Officials Say the Number Is Not Above Fifty . Thousand—Building Trades and Textile Workers the Most Largely Affected. Philadelphia, March 8—The s0 called general strike in this city, called to aid the striking street car employes, is far from complete and the employers and city authorities de- clare it will be a failure. The labor leaders are confident, however, of the success of the moveraent and they pre- dict that returns will shiow that be- tween 100,000 and 150,000 men are out. The police say there are not 50, 000 unionized workmeg in Philadel phia. ‘While the central and many other sections of the city do not appear to be seriously affected by the general or- der to quit work in the mill district of Kensington, where' trade unionism is well entrenched, many industries have suspended operations. It looked like a general holiday in that great manufacturing center. Special dispensations to the union drivers of milk and bread wagons en- abled all householders to receive their usual quantity of these necessities, but the fruit and produce dealers are ! handicapped by the joining of 500 of their drivers in the general walkout. According to the figures of the union leaders more than 4,000 drivers have ceased work. Building Operations Affected. The most largely affected trades out- side of textile workers in Kensington, Fairmount, Falls of Schuylkill, Mana- yunk and Port Richmond, who claim 80,000 men out, are the members of the various building trades, the lead- ers of which claim to have almost an eoual number of strikers in their ranks. In addition to these two large branches of organized labor leaders in the movement claim there are 30,000 men in the miscellaneous unions on strike, together with many nonunion workers, who have quit work from sympathy with the strikers or difficul- ty in securing adequate transportation, Several business organizations met to consider plans to continue the ef- forts being made to end the strike. The transit company has turned a deaf ear to any proposition for arbi- tration, but it is hoped by the busi- ness mien that they will be able to de- vise some plan for peace that will be satisfactory to both sides. The police department has 6,000 men on duty. The majority of the i negro policemen, who were engaged specially for the strike, have, how- ever, been relieved. This was done so as not to add race riots to the trou- bles of the police. All the large industrial plants in Philadelphia classed as “open shop” concerns are in operation, none being seriously affected by the quitting of union men. The largest concern to shut down was the Standard Roller Bearing company, 1,700 of whose men are idle. -— Millionaire Mining Man Dead. Denver, March 8.—Frank J.

MAY SPREAD TO OTHER CITIES 8ald Street Car Men Will Be Called Out Elsewhere. New York, March 8—Local labor circles heard that Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor was in Chicago for the purpose of consult- ing labor leaders with the view of call- ing a strike of car men in Cleveland, Pittsburg, Omaha and San Francisco in sympathy with the Philadelphia car strike. The Philadelphia com- pany is saild to be a large. holder of securities in the traction companies in these cities. Seen in Chicago President Gompers refused to affirm or deny this report. “It’s a matter I don't care to discuss,” he said.

FIFTY BODIES RECOVERED Workmen Still Clearing Tracks at Scene of Avalanche. ‘Wellington, Wash., March 8.—Fifty corpses have been removed from the wreckage carried down by the ava- lanche that destroyed two Great Northern trains here nearly a week ago. Forty-five corpses have been sent to Everett and Seattle.
