SITUATION Is GROWING WORSE The sitdation in Aitkin county, among those upfortunates whose farms were inundated by the fiood, grows worse as additional informa- tion is received. A letter from George Kemmerer, superintendent of schools of Aitkin county, ang anoth- erfrom J. A. Galarneault, mayor of fe city of Aitkin, indicate that fully $25,000 will be required to adequately meet the situation existing. Private communications received at the gov- ornor’s office show that scores of families are really destitute of every- thing requisite to continue residence in the country and the fact-is em- phasized that the majority of these people are new settlers along the river, who were counting un their first crop to carry them. through the coming winter. Lahor Commissioner Williams asserts that in many instances the crops are utterly ruined as to preclude the slightest possibility of salvage. The letter from Kemmerer voices the thanks of the community for Mr. Wil- jioms’ visit, and says the labor com- missioner went about his wyrk, while in the flood district, with commend- vble thoroughness, C. Van Dyke, the governor’s executive clerk, said that, in many houses little children were actually in want of food and clothing and urged that persons in- tending to give aid to the sufferers shonld not be deterred by any false belief that the need was not immedi- ate. He pointed out that the re- sources of the families affected aside from their farm produce were of the most limited description, and assert- ed that in dozens of cases, not only the crops but also the stock of the settlers had been destroyed.—Duluth News Tribune.

A Profitable Visit. © It is well to be acquainted, not only with individuals but with-communi- ties, their resources, achievements, atubitions. The proper familiarity of the newspaper publishers of the state with conditions in ev@v section is especially desirable, to the end that. | they may discuss intelligently and fairly the needs of the territory ip which they circulate and advance the interests of the people. It follows that the excursion of newspaper mén through the farming regions of northern Minuesota was a happy thought and will prove bene- ficial not only to the excursionists who have been enjoying the trip so thoroughly but to every community visited. It has ceased to be the func- tion of the press to discuss politics alone. Other duties have been added until nothing which bas an effect up- on the welfare of a community # over- looked. If the government threatens the ruin of aycommunity by maintaining a system of useless dams or establish- ing a forest reserve to check egricul- tural progress and serve no useful purpose; if there is malfeasance in lo. cal, State or national office or extra- vagance in public service, or any one of a thousand things deserving ap- proval or caHing for commendation the press inust attend to it and the best way to get at the facts is by per- sonal investigation. . The public business uppermost in northern Minnesota jus now is the | development of agriculture and the Settlement of thecountry. The coun- try visited by the editors in the earlier stages of their journey is more ad- vanced than that nearer Duluth, but it shows what can be done. Results accomplished there will be an en- couragemént to other settlers. The communities visited have received the benefits of some practical counsel from the agricultural experts who are members of the party and both visi. tors and visited have enjoyed the trip greatly.—Duluth News Tribune. DRAINAGE LEAGUE MEET First Annual Meeting Called.at Crookston for Early August A call has been issued for the first annual meeting of the Minnesota drainage league, as follows: The annual meeting of the Minnesota Drainage League will be held in the City Hall, Crookston, Minnesota, on ‘Tuesday, August 1, for the purpose of completing the organization of the league and of assisting iu the work of ‘securing systematic scientitic drainage for the entire state. There will be addresses and papers by prom- inent citizens and drainage experts and a preliminary report by the chief engineer in charge of the topographic survey ordered by the last legislature. Each county in the state has been in- vited through .its hoard of county commissioners to send a delegate from each of its co mmissioner dis- tricts to attend this meeting and each commercial club or board of trade of the several cities and vil- lages of the state and each county drainage organization are cordially invited to send representatives to the meeting. From the voluminous cor- respondence received by tee officers of the organization and the wide pub- licity extended the Jeague’s an- { nouncements through the press great interest has been attracted to this movement to organize for the ad- vancement of the great question of drainage and the indications are that the meeting on the above date will beTargely attended. Railways have made an agreement to give special tates to persons attending the league meeting and full particulars and programs will be sent all who will apply to either the undersigned or to any member of the executive commit- tee. The call is signed by the follow- ing named gentlemen: A. G. Ber- nard, president, Cass Lake; A. D. Stevens, Crookston; Aad A. Tone, Northome; A. L. Cole, Walker: Asher Murray. Wadena; E. B. Ekman, Roseau; H. G. Hayes, Bemidjl. THE VALUE OF EDUCATION The value of an education is appre- ciated not only by the man who in his youth was given its high privileges, but by the man _ who by force of cir- cumstances was denied early educa- tional advantages. Men of experi- ence in any line of business will advise their young friends to grasp every op- portunity for educational training offered in early life. The educated man well knows what his early train- ing has done for him, and the unedu- cated knows that men who were de- nied the privilege of an early educa- tion are frequently in che course of life’s experiences forced to face seri- ous embarrassments and obstacles. Willmot said that “education is the apprenticeship of life.” Frankhn said: “Ifa man empties his purse into his head no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” Rus- kin said that “education, briefly, is leading the human mind and soul to what yisright and best and to make what is best out of them, and these two objects are always obtainable to- gether and by the same means, The training which makes men happiest in themselves also makes them most ser- viceable to others.” Channing said; “Jie is to pe educated. not because he is to make shoes, nails, or pins, but because he isa man.” Education 1s never finished, and no one knows this better than the really educated and cultured map. One may be the grad- uate of the highest educational institu - tion in th2 land, but still he finds that there is more to learn.” The store- house of knowledge is never depleted, and there 1s none so rich or so poor that he may not draw something there from. Those who were denied the advantages ofan early education in the course of later life, by devoting only a few hours every week to study at home, acquire an education along special or general lines. Books are now within the reach of all, and every home, however humble, may have a library. The “home study” will make home life more attractive to both young and old. Ifwe make “live to learn” our hfe motto, we shall always find life worth living. - Probate Notice. Ee State of Minnesota County of Itasca In Probate Court, Special term, July 22nd, 1905.
