More than 30,000,- 000 seals were sold last year, pro- viding the National, State and Local Anti-tuberculosis Societies with about $300,000. It is estimated that the appropriation of twenty times this amount by public authorities in building hospitals, ete., was secured. The Minnesota Association for the Prevention and Relief of Tuberculo- sis has been appointed again sole agent for Minnesota. Last year the sales in Minnesota amounted to a trifie more than three-quarters of a million seals. If two million seals| were sold it would mean only one seal for each person in the state. Last year there were 200 centers of distribution, ranging in size from the city of Minueapolis to a cross roads postoffice. This year it is planned to sell the seals in each of the 500 or so centers of population in the state and in addition to cover about one-| third of the rural> school districts of | | the state, making the school the cen- ter of distribution through the teach- Probably 5.000 persons will be working as agents.

A boyish prank of throwing nitro-{ glycerine blasting cartridges-into a bon fire they had built at Rochester, N.

The force of the explosion shattered windows within a radius of 500 feet. It is believed the boys threw about 450 of the blasting cartridges into the fire.

The fifth annual stock and show of the Northwestern Live Stock asso- ciation opened in south St. Paul today and will continue until the end of the week.

During the week a series of lectures on practical farming will be given by noted agricultural erperts.

ANTICIPATION m— - ISAPPOINTMENTS RPEALIZATION COOPER QUITS MINNESOTA| Demonstration Farm Man, Well Known in Bemidji, to Work in North Dakota. & TO BEGIN NEW DUTIES AT ONCE Thomas Cooper, assistant in farm management of the University of; 10 Bemidji-to inspect the demonstra- tion farm and who, only last week, established a new state farm at| Clearbrook, has resigned from the TUniversity of Minnesota to take up agricultural experiment work in North Dakota. He has been appointed director of the demonstration farm work of the One Hundred Dollar an Acre club of North Dakota and will leave Min- neapolis at once for Fargo to take up the duties. Mr. Cooper will leave the St. An- thony park station, where for three years he has labored, with a high de- gree of efficiency, in bringing out of the twenty-one demonstration farms that ‘the state of Minnesota main- tains, instructive illustrations of bet- ter possibilities. The One Hundred Dollar an Acre ¢ ub, backed by the most representa- 1 ve men of North Dakota, with am- ple money to carry on its work and plan for establishing several hun- dred ten-acre demonstration farms, has been looking for a man to di- rect the work. Mr. Cooper will re- port to E. J. Weiser of Fargo, head of the One Hundred Dollar an Acre club. Mr. Weiser will call a meeting of the executive council association and the work will begin. ‘Agriculture in North Dakota should be on as good and permanent 2 basis as in Iowa, Illinois, or Ohio,” Mr. Cooper said today. “With the magnificent soil of North Dakota to work upon, there should be condi- tions developed of far greater per- manence and stablity than now ex- ist.” DR.

Howard, industrial ex- pert of the state agricultural exten- sion division, is planning to extend the work which has met with so much favor in the southern and central| portions of the state, to the rmrthern1 ! and north central counties in Min- nesota, and arrangements have al- ready been perfected for several months’ work in that part of the state. “The counties in the northern part of the state,” said Mr. Howard, “are taking an active interest in this work. They realize that only by in- teresting the boys and girls in bet- ter methods of agriculture can they be kept on the farm. It also enables these counties to show their agricul- | tural products at an advantage in the | county fairs and state fair. We hope in a year, or so, to push the work to| the very northern border of thel. state.” Mr. Howard is spending two weeks in Crow Wing county, riding from schoohouse to schoolhouse in the country districts in company with County Superintendent Mrs. Irma C. Hartley and explaining the meaning of the movement to the boys and girls. STONER BUSY SELLING “JUICE” Bemidji Man Supplys Electricity to Several Towns on Cuyuna Range. The Cuyuna Range Light & Power company, or M. D. Stone’s company as it is familiarly called, is making a record for a young corporation. It furnishes all the electric light used by the Cuyuna range town of Deer- wood, Crosby, Ironton and Cuyuna, in addition to furnishing power wher- ever necessary. At’ Deerwood there are at present 230 electric light meters in use. By next spring Mr. Stoner expects to add more, bringing the total to 300 me- ters. At Crosby the council recently or- dered the installation of 50 lights for the residence and business sec- tions of town. These will be of 200 candle power. From Crosby the line extends to Ironton and that town will also in- stall street lighting, in addition to all the light now used in residences and business places. Contracts have been secured by Mr. Stoner to light the Armour No. 1 and the Armour No. 2 mines and the buildings of the companies adjacent thereto. This is the first contract secured to light mining property. Serpent lake is bordered with pret- ty summer cottages, and residerice al- | extraordinary permanently at the lake.

Salen, aged 21 years, son of Aug- ust Gustafson of Cloguet, was acci- dentally killed while hunting near Saginaw. ‘He was hunting with his father at the time of the tragedy. Salen was standing on a stump overlooking a clearing and allowed his gun to hang down below his feet for a moment and in dragging it up, the hammer caught on a knot and the gun was discharged, shooting the young man through the body and kil- ling him. Shoots Baby for Deer. Mistaken, it is supposed, for a deer, Jerda Sundberg, aged 4, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Sundberg, was shot and killed near Conderay, Wis., yesterday, the bullet passing completely through her neck.

Duluth, Minn, Nov. 14.—Two Finlanders had a lively adventure with two bears near Kinney. They were deer hunting when they ran across the animals.

Both men fired more shots, but in their excitement, neither man stopped his bear. They then clubbed the animals to death, but not until! Ninivich was severely scratched and bruised.

In the event that he were taken to a federal prison and then the Min- nesota supreme court rules against him, he would serve out the federal sentence, after which he would be taken to Stillwater. Much Depends on Present Move. It is generally understood that much depends upon the result at Fergus Falls. Should the evidence be insufficient to result in a federal indictment it is likely that the charges in connection with the Blackduck burning will be vigorously pushed at the opening of the Crow Wing term of court at Brainerd on December 8, but in case of a convie- tion at Fergus Falls it is not known what attitude the state would take when the doctor’s case is called at Brainerd before udge McClenahan. FIND SNAKE IN BANANA BUNCH Groceryman at Luverne Discovers Live Boa Constrictor in Fruit. ‘While handling a bunch of bana- nas a clerk in the Nelson Brothers store at Luverne grasped a squirmy object and was surprised to find that it was a snake tightly coiled about the fruit and which after proved to be a young boa constrictor. The reptile is 27 inches long. When the snake was discovered the bananas were carried out doors and snow piled upon the snake so that it would remain in active until it could be captured. It was then placed in a half-gallon fruit jar, but later re- moved to a small glass show case, where it is now confined. There can be no doubt as to the specie of the snake, and while it appears strange that the snake could be car- ried to this northern climate in a bunch of bananas, naturalists recount that not infrequently young boa con- strictors will frequently conceal themselves in banana bunches. The bananas are thought to have come from Brazil. When kept away from the heat the snake lies quietly in its case, but when the case is placed over a steam radiator or in the sun it becomes active. An effort will be made by Nelson Bros. to keep the snake alive and watch its devolop- ment. Thus far the snake has not touched any of the food placed in its case, but as snakes of this kind eat only at durations of several weeks, it is believed a suitable food can be found for it when it is hungry enough to eat.
