The Grand Forks Herald is adver- tising the fact that the famous “Rube” Wadell will pitch for the Vir- ginia baseball team at Grand Forks Sunday. “Rube’” has a great “fade-a- way” ball, but he is just as apt to fade away himself before the game is called. An exchange says that in a court room a lawyer may call a man a liar, scoundrel, villian or thief and no one complains when court adjourns, but let a newspaper print such reflections on a man’s character and there is a libel suit or a dead editor. All of which goes to prove that people be- lieve what an editor says.—News- Press, Thief River Falls. “+ The Northern Pacific stock special has decided to stop at Bemidji in the evening from six to ten.

Some of the big little cities will not be favored with a six hour stop over, but again Bemidji is an exception. Bemidji is to have the biggest Fourth of July celebration is has had in years. Invitations are being sent to all surrounding towns and to the Plans are being made to care for thousands of people on that day and the smaller neighboring towns will find it to their advantage if they will join Bemidji in this big two day festival.

There never was such a wonderful period! We never before knew so much or could do so much. We never experienced an age of equal comfort. No part of yesterday was as glorious as this hour. The hundred years behind us are . jammed and crammed with achieve- ments that out-balance the sum total of progress since the signing of the Magna Charta. The average mechanic enjoys lux- uries that Midas, with all his wealth, could not command. The college freshman has more real information in his little finger than the erudition of the formost scholar of the Renais- sance. We have done more to put existence on a sane, logical and defin- | 1te basis than the sum total of our wneestors clear through the apple eaters of Eden. A mere hundred years ago even the scientist thought that the atmosphere was simply space—that gas was only a smell. The first microbe hadn’t disclosed his identity.

The train of twelve coaches was conducted by the Exten’ sion Division of the State Agricultural College, and the Duluth and Iron Range land department. Everywhere on its trip through and about the Range country, thousands flocked to the train to hear the gos- pel of beiter agriculture. Potato growing, dairying, vegetable garden- ing, clover, crop rotation, and sheep raising were the principal subjects given attention by the corps of spe- cialists aboard. The women were also given lectures jand demonstrations in Domestic Sci- ence and Home Economics. The lec- ture car was packed at every stop. The children, too, were interested in the movement for better farming by being told of the industrial work in agriculture, and how they could. take it up. It is said that hundreds of children will take up this. work as & result of the trip. B The problem of marketing is an acute one in this northern country, and many carloads of potatoes,. of good quality, were found, which the owners have been unable to marKet. In every instance they were told aof the advantages of co-operative mar- keting and referred to the Minnesota Fruit Growers’ association, the or- ganization effected by the Extension Division a year ago to facilitate: the| disposition of farm products.’ There is a probability -that there, as in' dth- er parts of the state, this ‘association ‘| will obtain a permanent foothold.

The fathers of the players, too, were ‘‘as youthful as the youngest.” For, “their natural heat seeming to be revived at the sight of 80 much agility,” they sprang from their stands into the arena. In-later days, too, the excitement of the game has been known to infect the spec- tators. Somebody wrote of a game in 1598: “These two men were killed by Ould Gunter.

Milburn during one of his almost mad dashes down the field was thrown from his pony and trampled on. For a time it looked as though he would not regain consclousness but he soon came too, and, although he bears on his chest an imprint of a horse’s hoof, in two days he was again on his mount. This wonderful player is the one man upon whom America bases her hopes to successfully defend the cup again this year, and should anything happen to prevent his playing, it is safe to say that the odds would be in England’s favor.

For up to that time Buckingham Palace had served but as a temporary stopping place for the king. It was built by the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 . and purchased by King George IIL . in 1761 and occasionally occupied by him; George IV. had it remodeled by Nash in 1825; but it remained empty until 1837, when ‘the young Queen came there to live.
