MARY EDITS “COURAN Miss McFadden, Minnesota’s Favorite Newspaper Woman Takes Hold of Suffrage Magazine. “LIFE AND LOVE ETERNAL” Under the new management of Mary D. McFadden, the “Courant,” monthly magazine devoted to the in- terests of the suffrage cause, has just made its appearance. Miss McFadden is well known in convention of the Women’s clubs of the district a year ago. In taking over the control from Miss Mary Sue Willes, former editor, Miss McFadden, a nation-wide suf- frage leader, makes the following an- nouncement: “The Courant is the exponent of the suffrage cause in the Northwest,| the official organ of club women in six states, and the women who are crowding into suffrage societies will soon be legion. - “The Courant. will publish some comparisons, in a coming issue, show- ing how divorce has decreased and domesticity has thrived under the beneficient influence of the whole people’s vote. Taxation without rep- resentation is one of the rocks upon which the British government was shipwrecked in this country and it was later used as a foundation stone of the republic.” The first issue of the Courant con- tains the following poem, entitled “Life and Love Eternal,” written by Miss McFadden: The fields are sere and bare boughs groan; The wind is sad and restless And from the changing skies have flown Bird-exiles, song-hushed, nestless, Dead grass bends down before the breeze, And breakers’ sullen surges Voice low, uncomforting, the sea’s Eternal chant of dirges. Long since the rose lost heart and died, The goldenrod late quivered When death came near, and by its side, The blighted aster shivered. The leaves that held the sunset’s glow Are brown and dull and lying On earth’s chill breast, or to and fro In sullen gales are flying. The sun will kiss the fields again And in the scented hushes, The rose will breathe — through wood and glen Will ring the song of thrushes. Death comes in chill November gloom But when the world is vernal Lo, forth in resurrected bloom Smile life and love eternal.

Worth Quarter As Much As Bran and As Good. § “When farmers of Beltrami county | are brought to realize that good sil- | age is worth about five dollars a ton, i while they are paying $24 for bram, - | and that the former is just as good for their purpose, silos will be seen | on every farm,” says W. G. Schroe- der, proprietor of the Alfalfa Dairy farm located near Bemidji. Mr. Schroeder believes that no farm should be without its silo, and points to his own success with pride. ‘He says, “I will be glad to give informa- tion concerning silos to anyone.
