The Corn Club of Carroll County alone has an enrollment of 312 boys. “The purpose of the organization of these clubs is to demonstrate the possibilities of raising large crops of corn econamically all through the State. The present work is a develop- ment of several years.” Down The Mississippi In A Rowboat Andrew Koehn, who finished 11 years of service in the United States Navy last April with the quartermaster first class, started on grade of June 15 to row the entire length of the Mississippi entirely un- accompanied, for the purpose of es- tablishing a record for the distance The start was made at the head of Lae Itasca, Minnesota, where the great river rises, and the little boat used by the former navy orsman is named “Itasca.” The boat, which is described, with illustrations, in the August Popular Mechanics Magazine, is of galvanized River, steel with a wooden cockpit cover, 10 ft. long and 42 in . beam. A wooden floor in the bottom serves as a bunk, and is provided with a regu- lation navy mattress and two blan- kets. Stanchions are placed so that they can be used either to carry an awning or to support a small tent AMERICAN A number of years ago Henry short stories: “And when will it be: ready?” he was asked. “Oh, I never know” he said. I work by easy stages.” That sentence gives the keynote to the character:of the ‘great nove- list himself and of his writings. He writes, easily, and neatly. Born in New York City on April 15, 1843. Henry James spent most of his boyhood in Europe. His father was Henry james, the theological writer, and from him the novelist de- rived his idiomatic, picturesque Eng- lish. His brother became Professor William James, the psychologist and philosopher, who died in 1910, Henry James entered ' Harvard Law School in 1860; but found out soon that he cared more for litera- ture than for law. His first short story was published in 1865, and many stories and sketches quickly followed this, Since 1869 he has made his home in England, living in London, or Rye in Sussex, for the most part. He is 2 member of the American Aca- demy of arts and Letters, and in 1911 received the degree of L. H. D, from Harvard. Mr. James dictates all of his ‘work to a secretary, and he rewrites and polishes it from a typewritten copy. With his writing he takes infinite pains. His sentences are long and, in- volved at times; but in spite of this confusing.fact his verbs are of the same number as his nouns. That Is to say, his sentences are balanced and complete. His whole life shows the same or- dered neatness as his books. His li- James was at work on a volume ofed. NOVELISTS “Learn One Thing Every Day.” NO. 1 HENRY JAMES brary is carefully selected and shelv- His letters are always arrang- ed in little piles of the same size. One man tells that during a call on the novelist he saw him when the ash had collected on the end of his ciga- rette, walk the length of his study and snip it out of the open window. Henry James has been called a mo- dern of the moderns-as a novelist. He describes contemporary life. His char- acters are people of the world; but they are subtle and complex. The human element predominates. He is not widely read, because the public finds him hard to read. As someone said, “ His books need to be translated for the average read- er.” This is due in part to his use of long and involved sentences, and in part to his subject matter. His career has been a happy one. It has been long, and has been free from serious mistakes. His talent and point of view are personal. He has had a crowd of imitators; but none of these has approached the master in greatness. b B There is one side of the character of Henry James, the man of which few people know. Never has a man in need come to him whom he has not offered to help. Years ago, when James was deriving-an in- come of less than $1,600 a year from his writing, a novelist died in Eng- land. He died in poverty, leaving two little children absolutely alone in world. A friend assisted the chil- dren and wrote to other literary men asking for help. One literary man, whose income was over $200, 000, was appealed to in vain. Among those from whom aid was asked was Henry James. A check for $250, more than a sixth of his Whole year’s income, arrived from him by return mail. Everyday a different human in- terest story will appear in The Pio- neer. You can get a beautiful intaglio reproduction of the above picture, with five others, equally attractive, 7 x 9 1-2 inches in size, with this week’s “Mentor.” In “The Mentor” a well known authority covers the subject of the pictures and stories of the week.

While other states were selling their public lands for a dollar or so an acre and using the money for current expenses, Minnesota was sel- ling the timber off its lands at a good figure, and then selling the which buttons over the cockpit coam- ing, making the interior rainproof. People Adverse To Lobbying The man in charge of the docu- ment room at the Capitol Building in Washington declares the demand for bills by non-members of Congress has fallen off remarkably in the last few months. He explains his decreas- ed business in handling out bills in- troduced in Congress is due to the fact that nearly all of the lobbyists have left town, as a result of the fight made upon them by President Wilson. In driving the lobbyists out of Washington, President Wilson has unboubtedly made a great hit with the.common people. They are natur- ally ayerse to lobbyists. This may be easily understood. If a man living in California had a lawsuit before a judge in far-away NewYork, and knew that his rival in tue litigation was in the habit oL dinning with the court and spending an hour or two daily in private con- vergation with him “in chambers, he would, if he was an average hu- man being, be inclined to be a little nervous over the situation. And that is about the way it is with the con- sumers of the United States. They were just a. little bit nervous over the las;t that special privilege was paying men $1,000 a month to per- suade their representatives to vote for. the, interésts of the tariff trusts instead of the. interests of the con- sumers, But thanks to President Wilson, the lobbyists have been frightened away from. the. National Capital, and it is to be hoped 'they will not return, Minnesota State Lands Most of the states to which the national government has made large &rants of land find little satisfaction ip_telling how they have disposed of it., Tothis rule.Minnesota is & not- able. exception, and the story of its Ppublic lands 18 both a rebuke to other Mtates that have squandered thelr land itself for agricultural purposes for five dollars an acre; it put the total proceeds into a permanent fund for the benefit of its schools and of its chartiable and penal institutions. The fund now amounts to almost $29,000,000, and gives Minnesota a larger school fund than that of any other state in the Union. Four neibhboring states, to which the national government was mot less generous in allotting public lands, have all together funds of only $16,- 000,000. Morveover Minnesota still owns 2,500,000 acres, mainly in the timber district; and from the sale of the timber and of the land to settlers the state will double its present perma- nent fund before many years have passed. More important still, it owns 40,000 acres of land in which there are rich deposits of iron. The state has leased the iron-ore land for long Deriods at advantageous terms. The land has already yielded $3,000,000, and under the present contracts it will yield about $150,000,000.in the next generation. Thus, by 1950, Min- nesota expects to have a permanent fund of fully $200,000,000, which will yield, at four per cent, $8,000, 000 a year for its schools and other public. institutions. The care of his fund is an import- ant part of the business of the state government, which acts in the capa- city of trustee. Of the present fund of nearly $29,000,000, about $7,- 000,000 is invested in the bonds of other states, $15,000,000 has been lent to counties, cities and town- ships within the state, and the rest drawng interest at four per cent., is in contracts of sale for farming lands, Minnesota deserves the heartiest congratluations of the other states for the far-sighted wisdom of its early lawmakers, and for the fidelity with which its officials of later years have guarded their trust. Such a splendid record of efficiency and honesty ‘gives nmew heart to those who are working for the welfare of I—»The Youths companion. states that have been less thrifty. eSS ———— Sympathy Strike Is Urged. ‘Wheeling, W. Va., Aug. 4—Officers of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers stated that fifty organizers and workers would be sent at once to Weirton, W. Va, in an effort to persuade the 2,000 men employed in the plant of the Phillips Sheet and Tin Plate company there to strike in sympathy with the striking employes of the same com- rany at Clarksburg, W. Va, and Steubenville, ‘0. ANSWER THE CALL People Have Found That This is Necessary. A cold, a strain, a sudden wrench, A little cause may hurt the kid- neys. Spells of bachache often follow, Or some irregularity of the urine. A splendid remedy for such attacks, A medicine that has satisfied thou- sands. N. Y. i Is Doan’s Kidney Pills, a special kidney remedy. Many Bemidji people rely on it. Here is Bemidji proof. Mrs.. A, B. Wells, 103 Irvin avenue, Bemidji, Minn., says: “I got Doan’s Kidney Pills from Barker’s Drug Store and I have used them at dif- ferent times when having trouble from my kidneys and suffering from my baek. They have always proven beneficial. I comsider them a valu- able remedy.” If your back aches—if your kid- neys bother you, don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—ask disintely for Doan’s Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Wells had—the remedy backed by home testimony. = 50c all stores.

After an array of figures Senator Owen reached the conclusion “in his letter that the net result of the aver- age $100,000 bank would be substan- tial gain over the present system of approximately $3,000 a year, or 3 per cent on its capital.
