Two Dotrars a YEAR. 2 | PETITION { CIRCULATED | North Country People Ask Legislature to Appropriate Money for Drainage. A petition which asks for an ap- Propriatron, by the legislature tor draining the swamp lands in northern Itasca and Beltrami counties has been forwarged to presentative Cole ot Walker. The petition las been circulated all through the north érn part of the two counties and has received the siguatures of every busi- { It s addressed to Hon. A. L Cole and .iS. A. Swanson, representatives, and Ole Mausten, senator, of the 52nd »| legislative district, aad petitions them © use their influence in the passage be used directly in the drainage of lands located in the northern part of the two counties. It represents that large areas af land in these counties are practically worthless because of swamps and gives a number of that the homesteads of settlers living wn close proximity to the swampy areas are damaged by water. The paper states that the settlers are bar- red trom the country because of the failure of the state to improve the lands and as a consequence the natur- al increase in value of the homesteads now owned by settlers is retarded. “The Average Man.”’ “The average man is God’s master- piece and the noblest of all creatures,” Suid Rev. A. B. ‘C. Dunn of Eau , during his lecture on the jday night at St. Paul. Father Duun is a powerful speaker and held a large audience that packed the hall pintent during his talk. He spoke in part as follows: “The average man is first ofall a patriot in times of peace and war; he is honest, virtuous. religous and is possessed of a large portion of com- qnon sense. When you meet a man ‘elasps you heartily by the hand whose vhole being radiates cheerfullness, v “po atiy trouble to doa fr iend or neighbor a favor, then you-havestmet the average man. It isthe average man who has made tuis country, who bas feught for it, and when necessary died for it. Geveralds will come home from bloody fields unscathed to be lauded to the skies and decorated . with wreaths of laurel, bet somewhere ly- ing on the could ground with life blood streaming you will find the average Man. u martyr to Dis coun- try- “What we need is average men, not great men. Tvo many parents make the mistake of educating their children to be great men when they are not capable of receiving that education, and many a boy that would have made a good, honest, use- ful citizen, a credit to the communi- ty where he lives, has been ruined by his parents, who sought to make bim something that he could not be. “Better that you lave a good black- smith in the family, or and indust- rious broommaker, than a boy who is only capable of receiving a smatter- ing of knowledge and who knows not how to profit by it after be receives it. Itis the average man who is the backbone of the country, it is he who won the battle at Minila bay and sank the Spanish fleet at Santiago, andit is the average man who has made this country what. it is today. “Again, itis the average man who will bring up bjs children to respect him and who will be able to luok to them for comfort in his old age, The average man does not shut offa part of his house for visitors and for- bid his children to enter therein, but he aMows them tbe entire freedom of hishome.. What cares he if the baby with its sticky little hands leaves a smear on the piano—if he does not like it he washes if off; nor does he care if his furniture begins to show signs of wear and tear. Why, by the time he needs .new furniture his children will be able to provide him with it, and in the meantime will have become so attached to the old home that mountains of seas could not keep them fromit. Wealth is buta tickle goddess; frame is but an empty glory, but the incarnation { a rwouleg ofall that is good and true in this world is the average man.” Minnesota’s Weather Best. Archbishop Ireland, who has been in Washington several days watching weatherfconditions, so he said at his hotel, left for home. Archbishop |Irelana, as usual, was most genial san d seemed more Antares 4 in the weather than upon any other subject which was suggested to him, ‘You ‘May. say,” said Archbishop Ireland, “that I will leave for Minnesota to- day, I used te look upon Washing- ton as a goud place to spend the winter months, but this year’s weather here leads me to believe that Washington has lost its reputation asa winter resort and I am going back to Minnesota to ‘get. warm.” “Not going to stay for the inaugur- ation, bishop?” “No, indeed, Jook at the snow—its beautiful anywhere but in Washing- ton,. where it quickly turns to slush. No, I am going back to Minnesota, where we have good seasonable weather, as quickly ‘as maybe.” GET SPECIAL DISPENSATION Meat May be Eaten at St. Patrick’s Day Feasts. St. Patrick’s day will be made me- morable in New York this year by a visit from President’ Roosevelt and through a dispensation by which meat may beeaten on Lenten Friday. Dispensation for Friday, March 17, has been secured by Archbishop Farley at the instance of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. who are to have President Rovsevelt as their guest at their annual bauquet on that night. The dispensation applies to tliose attending other public functions throughout the city. The dispensation does not apply to “the laity generally,” but only to those gathered iu such places where pubiic functions are to be held and “where the abstinence from meat would tend to make the festivity devoid of its-proper tone of rejoicing.” Shamrveks by the million, brought trom the tour provincess of Ireland, will ‘be given away at the hall at Madison Square Garden on St. Pat~ rick’s night, with which the ¢elebra- tion of Ireland’s patron's day will close. The ball is to be held under the auspices of the United Irish So- cieties’ Athletic Union. The entire makeup of the parade earlier in the day will empty itself into the garden ia the evening. It is not unlikely that President Roosevelt may tind time to drop in fora mo- ment, besides reviewing the parade earlier iu the day. Commissivver Palias says there will be 50,000 of the Anucident Order of Hibernians in live, and altogether ts 150,000 paraders to turn cut. Train Robbery.

Something to see, to hear, to interest and to amuse all. Admission 25 and 35 cents. A Grand Success. The meu.bers of St. Cecelia’s Guild may well feel proud of the reception accorded them at Village hall ‘lhurs- day evening. They, with the assist- anne of some of their young friends, not members of their society, after careful preparation presented a short one act play entitled “Ihe Scheme That Failed” followed by a two act comedy entitled “Dr. Cure-All. The only objection to the first play given was its brevity. All had committed their parts well and the play went off smoothly and to the entire satisfacuon of the Audience. In Dr. Cure-All their was more chaace for humor and laughable situation and the doctor. Romey Myers, was a host in himself. He was wellsupported from his little office maid to the towering Swedish matron. Miss Jennie Wahlstrom, of Wadena, who took the part of the Swede woman, who wished a greater aboundance of flesh, sang a Swede dia- lect song that brought down the house. With a little stage training she would put some of her ‘ profesh”’ to shame. The doctor will hold forth again this afternoon at three oclock sat a ten cent matinee. Dont fail to let the litle ones attend and go yourself if you missed seeing the play Thursday. night. . EXPERIMENTS P FOR FARMERS. Bulletin No. 46 by Superintendent McGuire of Grand Rapids Experi- ment Station This bulletin will end the present series of publications on the work of. the northeast Experiment Station. The bulletin on soil culture will be taken up in connection with the next series of bulletins which wil) be more in the nature of general instructivns in agriculture, The statistic published in the past bulletins except those of 1904 were alk taken from the work cf my predeces— sor, Mr. Chapman. Mr. Chapman. made a specialty of field crops and: fleld conditions and his work along these lines is most highly recom- mendable. He made no specialty of live stock but from his experimentah work in the fleld come to the conclu- sion that live stock is tne most essen- tial factcr to suecessful farming in this section of the state, and when he: jaiddown his work it was with the recommendation thatthe future work of the station be largely along the line of dairying and tive stock. Mr. Chapman reported unfavorably upon certain partsof northeast Min— nesota. The swamp land known as. “Muskeg” and the sandy areas or what is commonly termed ‘Jack Pine Lands.” In treating the subjects. that Ihave taken up I have spoken more favorable for _ northeastern Minnesota than otherwise, and from this it may be infered that I takea different stand than Mr. Chapman on the subjects above mentioned. F would not have this supposed for it is, notthe case. I have conducted no» experiment with the ‘‘Muskeg” nor doTintend to, for the reasons that. _ the results would hardly justify the expeuse of duplicating Mr. Chapman’s., work, which seenis Sufliciently conclu- sive for the present time, considering the amont of land outside of the “muskeg” in northeastern Minnesota yet unsettled, As the ‘‘sandy lands” Mr. Chapman asserted that under the ordinary system; of farming much of: the sandy land could not. be farmed successtully, and with him 1 positive-. however ves not. ly agree. This, mean that sandy land cannot be farm- ed successfully, but it does that if we- are to farm it successfully, we wilh have to get above what is commonly termed the ordinary system of farm— ing, or that which sells the fertility of the farm without giving anything to the suil in return, This system of selling only grain and hay off the farm has been a failure everywhere, and there is no sadder proof of this than the bent and. toil worm farmer seeking new land in a new esuntry in his old age. Land that is practically all san@ is difficult to farm even under the best system, when ,moderately sandy it may be of advantage, but only when properly farmed. To sum up the situation I would say that what northeastern Minne» sota needs most for successful agri< culture is not less sand but more good farms. It will be some time before we: will have to resort to the “muskeg” and the “‘soil shat is. all sand” for want of room. More railroads would help, but more good wagon roads. would help more. “FKerest reserve’ in northeastern Minnesota is a good thing, but good farming outside of that is better, and there is nothing at the present time that will add more to the develope- ment of .the country and the impro- vement of farmiug than good wagon- roads, 'To the farmer already here I would say: keep more stock. ‘To the prospec- tive farmer; select your farm care- fully. There is plenty of good agri- cultural land in northeastern Minne- sota, and wholly unnecessary to locate on a piece of lance which is-not good. A. J. McGuire, Opera House, Wednesday evening, March 8, Bert Martin will present, «The Sublime Passon Play,” a sacred drama founded on the life of Christ, as portrayed in the new testament. It is given in moving pictures. in twenty seyen scenes, and is the sante as presented every ten years by the peasants 1n the village of Oberammer- gau. In no other way, short of a personal visit to the village can so lasting a realization of this subject be made. Admission a5 and 35c. Children rc. The Junior league of th the M.
