Society of Canada “THIS IS MY 65TH BIRTHDAY” Charles Loring Jackson Professor Charles Loring Jackson, who has resigned from the Harvard University faculty after forty-four years of continuous service, was born in Boston, April 4, 1847. At the age of twenty he was graduated from the academic department of Harvard, taking his A. B. degree with the class of 1867. Two years later he re- ceived his A. M. degree for graduate study, one year of which he served as an assistant instructor in chem- istry. From 1873 to 1875 he studied chemistry in Berlin and at Heidel- berg. All of Professor Jackson’s many years of service at Harvard has been spent as a teacher of chemistry, where he has risen from the rank of assistant instructor in 1868 to the Erving professorship of chemistry, which he is to give up when his res- ignation takes effect next September. He is a member of some of the lead- ing scientific societies’in America and a corresponding member of simi- lar societies in Great Britain and Germany. e Congratulations to: J. Frank Hanly, former governor of Indiana, forty-nine years old to- day. Adolph J. Sabath, representative in Congress of the Fifth Illinois district, forty-six years old today. Prince George of Bavaria, recently married to the Archduchess Isabella of Austria, thirty-two years old to- day. b Boosters. Of steady and consistent boosters of their communities, the Clearbrook Journal and Northome Record should lead the li Germans Losing Hold. Although for many years the com- bined Scandinavian people have had the greatest proportion of all for- eign born in Minnesota, yet Germany has had more than any one other country. But the flgureé just issued from Washington show that the Swedes have taken the lead from the Germans and that the latter are now relegated to second place. Yet the proportion of foreign born Swedes to all foreign born in the state has fal- len off two-tenths of one per cent. The increases in both total numbers and percentage are found mainly in Finland, Russia and Austria. The figures indicate that the make- up of the foreign born population is shifting. Yet this need cause no alarm at present for while other peo- ple may be taking the léad, yet the Scandinavians and Germans will long have the greatest influence through the large number of first and second generation children born in the state. Why He Was Late. “What made you so late?” “I met Smithson.” “Well, that is no reason why you should be an’ hour late getting home to supper.” = “T know, but I asked him how he was feeling, and he insisted on tel- ling me about his stomach trouble.” “Did you tell him to take Cham- berlain’s Tablets?” “Sure, -that is what he needs. by Barker’s Dirug Store. » Sold’ Few farmers have a definite idea of the total amount of money invested In farm machinery. If you were to ask John Smith how much- his farm machinery was worth he would be un- able to answer you. He would proba- bly tell you that the different imple- ments cost so much and that there | Wwere a number of repairs for several of these. That theése implements were B0 many years old, and were probably worth only about half of what they were at first. Possibly he had bought some of these second-hand, and had never kept any record of the money Invested in farm machinery. Farming being a business, should be run on business principles, if cne is to know where he is making or losing money. So with the machinery the first cost and repairs should be re- corded and a strict account kept of all labors involved in the up-keep of the different farm machines. This can only be done by regular business meth- ods. The operator of the small farm may feel that this is not important, and from his point of view it-may not be. Yet actual experience shows that un- less some records are kept in operat: [ ing a farm it is extremely difficult to /710 Wa gon. 19// 17/0 Julyio Sepl & Hov 1 gar Pvrc To plowing H by Means of a_ know on what money is being saved | and made, ol To keep farm machinery in repair is no small item, and frequently time lost in being delayed during a busy period while waiting for repairs is the cause | for.a still greater loss. The time loss In many cases might be done away ‘with if more care was exerted in over- hauling the machinery during the win ter season, when farm work is some- what slack. Many farmers make a practice of making some repairs dur- Ing the winter, but there is a greater majority who never feel that it is worth while to spend time to do such work, but believe they will have time | enough in the spring or before it is |’ time to use the machine again. As a rule, the work is not done until the machine or implement should be in | the field, which ought not to be the | case. The repairing, to be done at | the least expense and loss of time should be done in the winter, or at least most of it. There are some im- plements that one might find difficult to repair, especially in some of the machinery sheds which are found on farms. ‘With a good machinery shed and & work shop at one end where a stove | could be set up to take the chill from | the air, this work might be handled very nicely with little if any discom- fiture, even In the coldest weather. There will be a great many stormy days when little if any work can be done out of doors, when the work in the shop can be very satisfactorily carried on. Where the repairs cannot | be readily put in the respective places, cards should be attached to the bro- ken part and everything put in read- iness for the time when the machine is taken from the shed. I am now thinking of the grain harvester, which is frequently behind many of the smaller machines, making it rather difficult to get at for repalring. In the case of the grain and corn har- Vester a good plan. to follow is to make a note of such parts as show 8evere wear and order these parts for | the coming season. . A “want book” and a box of ship- ping tags should be a part of the equipment of the farm office. In the book should be made a notation of the ‘worn or broken part, and with it the letter and number, thus: “For the grain harvester, binder driver dog H. 350.” A shipping tag with letter and num- ber should then be attached to the part to assist in quickly locating when repairs are to be put in place. The same holds true with reference.to bolts. When housing the machinery you may not have the proper bolts on baund, but the “want book™ and tags will furnish the necessary information, a8, “One_machine bolt 23 inches by % inches.” This, with others which jfay be required, may be purchased in one order, which will probably result in a saving of one-half. ‘While this system may seem at first thought somewhat cumbersome, & | glance at the suggested sheet will show that it wil in the end save time and money, and at the same time dis- pense with worry and aggravation at | & very busy season of the year. ‘When the repairs and special bolts have arrived, take them with an extra Aupply _of bolts, nuts and split cot- his AR eed with Decreasing Cost of Machinery Repairs By PROF.

The work usually done at the village.shop should be noted and the list left in a convenient place so that no extra time s required in lo- cating it and arranging for the work. Some farms are fortunate enough to have their own shop, and where such conditions exist it is not necessary to take the plow ghares to. the village for sharpening, but this and many oth- er kinds of such work can be done at home. The large farms having great- er requirements will naturally require more machinery, so that the one in charge of the machinery should ‘not lose sight of the fact that a large sup- Dly of common repairs is better than to be out half of the time, thus caus- ing ‘unnecessary delays in the farm operations. The stock ¢f duplicate parts to be ordered should be for sickle sections, for mowers and binders, also sickle heads and pitmans for the mowers.

To insure the greatest efficiency of plow, cultivators and all such im- plerhents, it is & good plan to cover the face of the moldboards and shov- els with a good grade of heavy ma- chine oil or a fair grade of hard oil. This treatment will keep the wearing surfaces free from rust, so that the extra work of scouring these imple- ments in the spring will be done away with. To get the greatest returns for money invested in farm implements one must have as few delays as pos- sible. In keeping before you the first cost and repairs of the different farm im- plements, a few cards as here siown will be of great help. In this way you can quickly find how much your wag- on, mower, or any implement has cost since it was purchased. The deprecia- tion can also be more quickly calcu- lated, and in many ways this will as- eist In determining the gross earnings of the farm each year. This card sys- tem might be carried still further by adding to it a double column at the right, the extra column showing the amount of work or the value of the work done with each-implement. This is shown on card describing gang plow. The scheme described here is not entirely new, as some farmers are using methods which in some ways ! are similar, but the card system and day book are much handier and more economical.

Then she saw. that one of his legs was gone and, that he was not ore of her boys. 3 Unless it 1s Fear, There Is No Cone| p, taglon 8o Quickly Spread as That of Emotion, ‘George F.

Lpplications of a Simple Remedy Will Bring Back The Natural Color. “Pull out one gray hair and a dozen will take its place” is an old |- saying, which is, to a great extent, true, if no steps are taken to stop the cause. When gray hairs appear it is a sign that Nature needs assist- ance. It is Nature’s call for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair, or hair that is falling out, is not necessarily a sign of advancing age, for there are thousands of elderly people with perfect heads of haid without a sin- gle streak of gray. When gray hairs come, or when the hair seems to be lifeless of dead, some good, reliable hair-restoring treatment should be resorted to at once. Specialists say that one of the best preparations to use is the old-fashioned “sage tea” which our grandparents used. The best pre- paration of this kind is Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep- aration of domestic sage and sul- phur, scientifically compounded with later discovered hair tonics and stim- ulants, the whole mixture being carefully balauced and tested by ex- perts. Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur is clean and wholesome and perfectly harm- | less. It refreshes dry, parched hair, remtves dandruff and gradually re- stores faded or gray hair to its nat- ural color. Don’t delay another minute. Start using Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur at once and see what a difference a few days’ treatment will make in your hair. This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all drug- dists. s Keeps Your Stove ““Always Ready for Company”| A bright, clean, glossy stove is the joy and pride of every housekeeper, But it is hard to 4é¢p a stove nice and shiny— unless Black Silk Stove Polish is used.

TEA AND COFFEE TALK What we wish to do at this time is to give you a little Tea and Coffee talk. Hundreds of Bemidji’s most particular coffee and tea drinkers, use our coffees and teas and will have no other kind. We are Bemidji agents for Chase and Sanborn’s famous brands, known everywhere for their rich, delicious and smooth flavor, and pride ourselves on being able to give our customers such superior and high-quality goods and at prices no higher thanyou pay elsewhere. Coffees with ‘‘catchy’’ names, which are put up in ‘handsome’” packages and ‘‘boomed’’ with presistence, appear every day. Their real character is often disappointing, and is frequently indi- cated in their ultimate disfavor. ‘“‘Chase and Sanborn’s Coffees’’ remain in favor year after after year, and have increased largely in sale simply because they are always true to type, are absolutely pure and always of finest selection.
