Because one woman called the at- tention of Governor Eberhart to the fact that women of Minnesota were first to start the conservation move- ment, the Governor has named more than two hundred women as dele- gates te the coming Conservation and Agricultural Development Congress to be held in St. Paul March 16 to 19. Mrs. C. G. Higbee, president of the State Federation of Women’s Clubs, was the one woman who knew “Women were first.” The incident dates iback to the movement to set aside the tract about Cass Lake as a public park. This reserve was undoubt edly secured by the women and henc« they made, according’ to prominent members of the mvomen’s clubs, the first move for conservation in Minne- seta. The governor took notice at once and a large number who at- tend the meetings in St. Paul, will be women. Mrs. Mary Starkweather, head of the Women’s Labor Bureau of the State of Minnesota, is to deliver an address at the coming conservation congress on, “The Child of Minnesota. Mrs. Starkweather is an authority on the subject and it is through her efforts that more than 30,000 women have been interested in a later conference to consider the “Minnesota Child.” The address} which Mrs. Starkweather is to give im St. Paul is one every mother showld hear and is given on the last day of the congress when Ed- ward T. DeVine, president of the Associated Charities of New York City also speaks. | Programs Sent Free. Official programs of the Conserva- tion and Agricultural Development Congress to be held in St. Paul, March 16-19 will be ready for distri- bution in a few days and will be | mailed free to anyone writing the | Conservation Commission, State Cap- ito! Building, St. Paul. The program is an attractive publi- cation, of imterest to every Minne- sotan and besides what it tells of the} coming congress, reveals a great deal about the state and>.its re- sources. Grains from Every County. Samples of grain from every cqun- ty in the state have been collect- ed by George Welch, state immigra- tion commissioner, and these are all to be shown with the state exhibit at the Conversation and Agricultural Development Congress. It will be interesting to notice the differ- ence between the types of grains, | but the collection from eighty-five counties will also be a demonstra- tion that Minnesota grows everything Farmers May See Grains Graded. One of the interesting features of fhe grain trade is the imspection and grading at the primary markets. ; This is one of the important things in the movement of grain from the fields to the consumer and yet few farmers know just why their grain ig given one grade, which means a certain price, While a neighbor has his grain classed as another grade and gets a different price, perhaps higher. Arrangements have been made with the Minneapolis Grain Exchange to live stock and farm dairy and food; public health; and brick; pottery and clay products; game-and fish; forestry and young people’s work in the schools. | sides all thesé representative exhib- big part of the show.

Completing Village Hall. «© village hall, which, when com- piv 4 will cost about $25,000, is re-} ceiving the finishing touches and is the most complete and best equipped in northeastern Minnesota. The build ing, which is a two story brick, 48x 60 fept, was erected by Heazley, & Hazelcamp, of Hibbing, George Stew |art ‘having charge of the work. Mr. Stewart arrived im the village Monday morning to complete the work of de- corating and trimming the interior of| the hall and was kind enough to show a Herald-Review representative about the building.

For village trustees, George Shook, Keo Leroux, F. ‘A. King, A. E. Wild- er and George Arscott were named, Messrs. Shook, King and Arscott re- ceiving the largest niimber of votes and they were declaned the nominees of the caucus. +3 For recorder the name of G. W. Meyers and E. A.

For the office of village president there ‘will be no opposition, as all are well pleased with Mr. Bossard’s administration of affairs, but there thas been considerable talk of other candidates} for the office of trustee ;and Keo Lerovx’s name has been | prominently mentioned. Mr. Leroux ‘thas served on the council for the past 3 years and has been ever zeal- ous in the discharge of his official He has done good work on whatever committee he has been plac ed and at the election on March 8, those who have the best interesst of he village at heart will see that he is returned in his present capacity. There will like be an interesting fight for the office of village record- er. H. E. Graffam has a statement in this issue saying he is a candidate for the office and G. W. Meyers, who made a phenominal run at the cau- fcus, considering the lateness of his appearance in the race, wil also be \fa candidate. There is plenty of election in the jair and several caucuses will probab- ly .be held and tickets gotten up be- fore election day. Advocates of a “dry” town have been busy distributing literature cal- culated to assist the cause, but it is not anticipated that a very large vote will be polled in favor of the plan. Should ‘the voters decide to vote the fit would be the death blow to the many improvements whic are talked of fcr the coming spring. Cons rvative business men will not invest their money in a dead town and all should put their shoulder to the wheel and assist the march of progress. Prof. Chas. Scanlon to Speak. Prof. Charles Scanlon, secretary of the Presbyterian Temperance com- mittee will speak im Village hall, Monday, March 7, on the liquor ques- tion. He is an interesting talker and handles his subject in a very able manner. | | |
