What about Turkey? Dr. Dumas may come home in ‘time to take advantage of the two cent fare. One trade brings on another. Lobbying is a trade not a profes- sion. So is Investigation. Strolling along the lake shore is an appetizing exercise, but certain spots along Lake Bemidji are not so appetizing. Keep the “gang” busy “Doc” until all the dead crabs and moss and whatever else you call it have been cleaned out. Rather spend the money that way than for an epi- demic. Doctor Rowland Gilmore has given for use to the people of this section of the country a pulmotor. Such a life reviving instrument in our midst should be deeply appreciated, giving the doctor equal credit with the life reviving invention, This is Jjust another one of the advantages of living in Bemidji. Another Renascence. The labor with which we try to build up again that which we have destroyed is well illustrated by the American commission now traveling, abroad to investigate the co-opera- tive systems of fourteen different countries. The commission has com- pleted its studies in Italy, where it found a bankrupt and beggered peas- antry transformed into a prosperous body of bank depostiors by the magic wand of co-operative banks. It be- comes apparent that what has really been restored to tire Italian peasan- try is the neighborliness familiar to past generations. Time was, and not so long ago either, when a spirit of mutual help- tulness prevailed in rural communi- ties, when one farmer helped another with labor and money, when recipro- cal accommodation was the rule of the day and place. Help in time of trouble was taken for granted. Friendship was unorganized ,but not the less practical for that. Now our government has sent a commission abroad to learn how to organize the mutual helpfulness of rural community dwellers, and this commission finds a well-wrought sys- tem based upon the farmers’ confid- ence in one another. When it returns, it will doubtless propose the establish- ment of rural banks, following the general line of the German Raffeisen, here, and these banks will depend for thelr success, very largely, upon the confidence of our farmers in one an- other, Two features of the Italian devel- opment, however, should be carefully noted. One is the capitalization of the Italian paesant’s thrift; the other is intensive agriculture. Taking them by and large, Americans have been lavish; particularly those of the west, where nature has been prodigal in the distribution of her bounty, With- out such thrift as may acquire a credit value, the co-operative credit system will probably fail if it is not still born; and without intensive ag- riculture the production value of the land will not be correspondingly in- creased. But in so far as the experiment suc- cceds, 1t will be due to intelligent and progressive organization of com- munity good will, as* is true of all co-operative schemes. The slump of mutual helpfulness-in the rural com- | munities is easily explained. The old homogeneitybetween the farmers was broken up when strangers acquired their holdings. In some communities, a new racial homogeneity has sprung up, and, in some others, if it should be possible to establish the co-opera- tive system, if our currency system will permit it, with proper bulwarks and safeguards; and these imstitu- The Waste That Haste Makes To busy people the most valu- able tfing in the world is time. We may lose our money, our friends or our umbrellas and pos- sibly get them back again, but an hour once gone is gone fore- ever, That 4s rather a sobering thought. But this does not mean that we must conduct our affairs in wild haste, because there is almost as much time logt in a lifetime by misdirected ehiergy as there is by idleness. In order to get the best results in using time, it is necessary to plan first and act afterwards. In that way we may avoid any super- fluous motions. Take for example one fleld of activity—the purchase of all the articles for our daily use. We have all wasted precious hours scurry- ing here and there, uncertain what we wanted and where to find it. Finally we have returned home and announced triumphantly that, “Just by luck I ran across the very thing at So and So’s.” That little expression, “just by luck” shows lack of forethought and does us no gredit. If we had spent ten minutes reading the advertise- ments in THE PIONEER we could have planned the shopping trip intelligently beforehand and saved our time, energy, and some money as well.

They would bring the parents and the outside world into closer touch with both teacher and pupil, and help solve many of .the rural teacher’s problems. In case of illness or severe storm the teacher might know in advance of the absence of the pupil. In case of sudden need the pupil might be more readily sum- moned home from school. Many progressive schools take daily newspapers and one or more farm Jjournals. All should do so and should receive in addition many valuable free bulletins issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., and by our own Department of Agriculture, University Farm, St. Paul. A mail box for each school would bring this material regu- larly to the teacher’s desk instead of to her boarding place or to the home of one of the directors, from which it might not be forwarded. A mail box would enable those who distribute such material to place the school on Its mailing list to remain there year after year. At present the usual plan seems to be to put the teachers on the mailing list and as teachers often change great confusion results. These conveniences cost very little. Bring the matter up at your next meeting and see that they are put into your schools. Few investments will pay larger dividends in the education of your boys and girls.—T. A. Erick- son, Rural School Speclalist, Univer- sity Farm, St. Paul. A GOPHER DESTROYER. A Minneapolis correspondent sends us a recipe for killing the pocket go- pher, which he has found excellent. It is so simple and inexpensive that we glve it here in his own words, It Is evident that early spring is the best time to use it. “We were troubled last year {m- mensely with this pest. Early in the spring 1 made a hole in their run with a broom handle. Into this I dropped a raisin, having first replaced the seeds with crystals of sulphate of strychnine. One or two early applications rid the whole place of the pest, and there has beén but one recurrence, and a single dose fixed this also.”—F. L. Washburn, Entomologist, University Farm, St. Paul. “Sort” Ralnwater Mara. Rainwater has been looked upon as typically sott and free-from carbonate of lime and other dissolved salts, and it 18 rather surprising to learn that 1t may have.the hardness of - spring water of limestone regions. This, of course, is a result of the contamina- tion of the alr in manufacturing cen- ters. - Rainwater- collected in ' reser- voirs for an English factory’ gave so much' trouble “when used:'with' soap that: investigation: was ‘ made. '~The hardening salts found were at firat thought “to have been taken up from the ground. Samples of rain were collected in basins, however, and all of these contained lime and magne- sium' salts, all but one ‘having great hardness, which’ ranged up to 165 de- grees .of ithe test scale, or about 58 degrees on the average. ~As the hard- ness of the reservoir water was only 19 degrees to 20 degrees, it appeared that the rain actually dropped or de- posited some of its hardening salts.on reaching the ground. A Good Investment. W. D. Magli a well known merch- ant of Whitemound, Wis., bought a stock of Chamberlain’s medicine so as to be able to supply them to his cus- tomers. After receiving them he was himself taken sick and says that one small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Emil Catluoh WO Fedognition ntst as a painter of still life . He was born in Copenhagen Denmark; but he came over to America when he was a ver young man, settling first in Boston. He afterward went to the Pacific .Coast, where he taught art and had a large number of pupils. His early struggles were severe indeed, and he was put to it to make both ends meet. In those old days he used to take a dead chicken and keep painting it till the other occu- pants of the building protested at the gamy odors that came from his studio. Fish also from time to time made it awkward for his fellow work- ers on -account of their long stay in his ‘workshop; but those were days when to buy a goose or a shad was a serious consideration with Carl- sen. Curiously enough, the man always had a singularly original color point of view, seeing it in a manner quite different from his fellows. Indeed, no other worker in this country pos- sesses so individual an outlook on the world of color. He has as well a method of painting quite his own, of handling his pigment, of blending the tones and obtaining sparkle and vibrancy. Few painters keep up their inter- est to such a high pitch. Carlsen is today as enthusiastic as a beginner. Among the members of the Salma- gundi Club of New York, that inti- mate artistic organization, Carlsen is most popular, and they have given ization has to offer. He has also many him many of the best pries the organ- medals and honors elsewhere. Last season the Pennsylvanja Academy of Fine Arts, in Phildelphia, award- sen’s color is good enough to eat,” which gives one an idea of its ap- petizing quality.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Bus- tachian Tube., When this tube. is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound ; or imperfect hearing, and where it is en- tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be-tak- en out and this tube restored to its nor- mal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but.an in- flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
