OI‘I_’ICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS SPECIAL SUMMER COURSES :Special courses have been announced for the summer ses-| gion of the University of Minnesota. The summer session is an- nounced to open June 20 and to continue until July 30. The course at University Farm means much ‘to those who desire to supplement their knowledge along practical agricultural lines. Home economics, forestry and dairy husbandry courses are also available. The college of education will have its course for consolidated school principals. These summer schools are a splendid means made possible for those who are not privileged to attend during the regular session of the colleges, because -of their other duties, to get many new ideas for their own use in connection with their teaching ‘and' many students engaged in other work which they!| cannot give up are privileged to take the courses during the va- cation season. : The courses are not confined to the various departments of the state university. Dunwoody institute announces a spe- cial course in the printing and allied trades., Their course ex- tends. for two months, and while it is not expected to give a complete knowledge and full training in the trade, much may he acquired by those already familiar with the work but who desire to supplement their present knowledge. These special courses indicate the trend of universal education. Such provi- gions are of very recent date, but they augur well for the future. ORIy e b FUTURE SCHOOL GROUNDS It is to be deeply regretted that more of the citizens of Be- midji -were not present to hear Dr. Strayer’s address Friday night at the Methodist church along educational lines. He had a'great message and he told it in the simplest of language. “His local reference to the size of the ground which should sur- round the new high school undoubtedly made some of his hear- ers gasp, but when it comes to considering children’s welfare of less importance than land values, we are not placing true values where they belong. It ig not possible at the present time, it is true, to make any such provision for athletic grounds and play- grounds. It will be a wonderful improvement when the new school is built, but the playground feature should not be lost sight of by any means, and at the very first opportunity steps should be taken to acquire suitable grounds for the use of the school children for recreation. RS NO MEDICAL BEER FOR BREWERS It is one of the quaint quirks of the wet and dry battle that one of the biggest brewing companies of America is aiding the fight against beer as medicine. _ It is far more to the credit of the brewing company than the struggle for beer as medicine is to its backers. The brewing company is perfectly honest in its stand. What it would like to see is the return of foyr per cent beer as a legal beverage. Failing i this, it prefers to go building up its business in the manufacture of soft cereal drinks. The brewers know that the medicinal plea is worthless and foresee that it would lead to attempts at trickery re-acting more strongly than ever against the brewing interests entire. Furthermore, they know that such a traffic would bring no sound or dependable volume of trade to the brewer. Rather, it would fluctuate as the cheating was good or poor in any community. *The brewers show good sense. A haggling evasion of a statute will not: get anybody anywhere. Either the statute should be repealed entirely or it should be enforced strictly, and business formerly devoted to alcoholic liquors be left free to grow in other directions.—Little Falls Transcript. Herbert Hoover gave the world the most cheering message of the year, when he told a. New York convention of American manufacturers that the world is surely making progress toward economical stability. . “If Europe can keep pace for another year there will be no further cause for American charity,” he asserted. He made a strong plea for the open door in world commerce, which may be a warning td congress not to attempt the building »f a too high tariff wall.—St. Cloud Journal-Press. No community can be built upon the individual selfishness of its mem- bers, says the Redwood Falls Gazette. Some men will not pay ‘a dollar a year to support a commercial organization or enterprise, but will unhesitat- ingly dig up a hundred dollars to pay for a hunting dog or other things pro- portionately. They are not community assets but the biggest kind of lia- bilities.—Stillwater Gazette. p .. A most remarkable thing has just happened in St. Paul. One hundred and fifty-six tenants, occupying suites in twelve apartment buildings, were notified Tuesday by their landlords that rentals until September would be réduced $5.00 a month. The action was said to be voluntary, and announce- ment was made that the rents next fall will not be above the scale of last winter.—Brainerd Dispatch. “Spooning” in the parks of Kansas City, Mo., is officialy recognized, according to a statement issued by the chief of police. He said the policy of the police department will be to let Love alone. That surely will make a hit wit hthe boys and girls.—Stillwater Gazette. + iAlong with the report that Trotzky is ill comes the statement that he has the best surgical advice possible. It/is to be bserved that he appealed to the hated bourgeoisie, and did not call on the man who formerly amputated the grass on a hospital lawn.—Boston Transcript. .. Some men play in hard luck. A man made the mistake of swallowing radium valued at $6,000, and the doctors had to open him up to get it back. In addition to losing this valuable capsule he will have a big surgeon bill lo pay.—St. Cloud Journal Press. 4 . . A Chicago girl who was arrested for stealing, accounts for her mis-step by asking: “What else can a girl with a college education do when she can only earn'$8 a week?” She might get a kitchen education and go to work.— | Northern Light. ‘ $ The fact tha¥ jazz music enraged the monkeys in the New York zoo is construed to upset the Darwinian theory.

But it is difficult isometimes to devote one’s afternoon to music! A woman who was having |a partition removed from her home in Park avenue had to meet this prob- ilem the other day. An Italian car- penter was at work in her music room !and the environment appealed to him. ;“Lady,” he requested, ‘please play iwhile I work.” She complied with his petition and after her performance, his talk drifted to music and the opera. “Lady,” he said, brightly, “next week I come and bring my violin.” Among the “vehicles” confiscated Lucy Jeanne Price ‘ tmmwwwg : himself, safe in bed and sweetly sleeping: “Where'd they ' think I'd go?”? he asked with surprise, when m« formed of the tiresome search they'd been put to. WOULD PLANT TREES ON MEMORY OF VETERANS Indianapolis, Ind., June 6.—The plan of bordering the great highways of the nation with trees planted to perpetuate the memory of men’‘and women who served during the World war. has been recommended to -all state departments of the American Legion by F.

The disil- lusionment when the girl recovers her sight and realization of his own in- justice form the basis of a strong, which Goldwyn has has received the support of the strong- est newspapers of the middlewest and of high federal and state officials. It is proposed to plant 4,000,000 trees of types recommended by the orestry bureau and set out in ac- cordance with the advice of the bu- eau. To each tree will be affixed a plate bearing the name and military record of an ex-service man br wom- an. The Lincoln and Dixie highways would first benefit from the project, according to present plans. Ultimate- ly,.it is hoped to honor every veteran of the World war with a tree' bear- ing his name, jwell-told tale, produced with art.
