The motion © everruled.” Attorney Alfred Hovey then at- ‘tacked the indictments, denying there was a showing that the defendants had unlawfully conveyed explosives on passenger trains. _He declared. there ‘was no violation of a federal statute unless explosives were transported on eommon carriers, concealed in un- marked packages and maintained that | the indictments did not so aver.

Shooting holes through the Aldrich ‘entra! bank plan, in which he de- clared there is a neat little “joker” carefully concealed, Representative C. |L.

Lindbergh said the Aldrich “associa- plan provides for taxation of United States bonds transferred to it |by the banks composing the associa- | tion, but without peremptorily requir- , | img such transfer. i bonds to individuats friendly to the money trust,” he added, declaring that in this way they could..avoid paying | taxes on $900,000,000 and thus save } $244,000,000 in taxes during the years | the bonds are maturing. | Lindbergh objects to Aldrich’s al- | ‘Jeged plan to give $20,000,000 to the | association free of charge. “The plain people have to pay for | | every dollar they get,” he declared.

Mr. Marsh’s talk was il- | lustrated by photographs of practical | farm dwellings and buildings. Following Mr. Marsh, Supt, A. J. |MeGuire of the experiment farm ; spoke on “The Benefits of the Cream jery.” “I believe,” said Mr. McGuire | that this section of the state is des- | tined to become the great dairy cen- 'ter af the United States.” The speak- er pointed out the ease and cheap- | ness with which food for dairy herds | | may be raised, and then passed to} | the subject of the co-operative cream-, | ery, taking the local creamery as a concrete example and urging the {united support of the farmers to} make the creamery a success. “There is one thing certain,” Mr. McGuire continued,” no creamery can be a success unless it has the | cream to work with. We shoul | |make 200 pounds of butter a day to} pay the farmers the prices we do, |pay running expenses and the ini- | tial cost of building and machinery. ; ‘at needs just 486 cows to do this, or six cows each from 80 farmers, not very much to expect, but more than we are getting at the present time.” { The speaker cited the case of a colony of Finlanders.in.Hubbard.coun-; ty whose creamery made the second ! largest output in, the state last year, | | ing strawberries and ‘eurrants were also cited as good} varieties. | Mr. Olson of the Experimental |followed by Forest Henry jsureg the farmer sufficient foras: for his stock: “A good silo,” said Mr. Heary, | walls; the walls must be smooth; it ease, Those attending the institute were the guests of the Grand Rapids Com- mercial club again Saturday at a dinner served in St. Joseph’s church by Miss Carpenter and her domestic science class, and many compliments were heard from the guests at the dinner on the excellence of Hee, viands prepared ard served by the domestic science students.

Repeating his former statement that | he believed some other man could | poll a larger vote than he could, William Jennings Bryan, thrice the ‘ for the presidency, in his speech at , the St. Paul Auditorium pleaded for | the nomination of a progressive Demo- crat and ceclared that if that were done his party could win whether , Roosevelt or Taft was acme by | the Republicans.

The advantage of money-making by} a loyal support of the co-operative creamery was pointed out by the speaker, who closed with a strong} plea to the farmers to get back of | the creamery with their undivided support. } Miss Rowe, domestic science in- structor of Crookston, responded to Mr. Henry’s request to “Tell how to keep a woman good natured,” by @ talk on the conveniences that will lighten the housework on the farm. | Compact kitchens, convenient sheaves | and linoleum covered floors were some of the things urged by the speaker, who also talked on the’ | construction of fireless cookers and several other articles of assistance ‘in lessening the labor of the house- | keeper. Forest Henry followed Miss Rowe's; address with a talk on the relative} values of feed for farm stock, dwell- | ing on the good qualities of clover | hay and the importance of yea it early in the season to insure g feed. The speaker also urged sea use of a silo wherever possible: } Following Mr. Henry’s talk adjour:+ ment was taken until Saturday a ing. { The morning session was opened} Saturday by Mr. Andrews, horticul- turalist of Faribault, who talked on! | small fruits and their importance as a part of the good living of the! farm. Mr. Andrews also took up the matter of wind breaks around farm | buildings, recommending the planting | | of Norway spruce and urging that evergreens be planted so that pro- tection from prevailing winds be! secured. “Warm buildings and cheap fuel’ | was discussed by F. L. Marsh, who! spoke on the deplorable lack of ven-| tilation in the average home, and ex- plained how proper ventilation for houses and farm buildings might be ‘secured. Mr. Marsh commended the | terms of the Holmberg school act, that compelied adequate ventilation ! for the school buildings of the state.} Potatoes, that most important sub- | Ject in northern Minnesota farm ‘topics, received comprehensive treat- /ment by Forest Henry, who gave in detail the best methods of treating} seed, planting, and caring for the \tuber crop. Mr. Henry urged the |Plan of finding the sced best»adapt-| ed to a particular district and using that exclusively, so that buyers may know that a first-grade article may be secured anywhere in that For the late { j pointing out that the history of the ‘seKiom gone beyond the bounds of institute and the interest manifested, farmers’ institute has been the his- tory of agricultura] progress where- ever the beneficent purpose of the state in providing it has been ap- preciated and where farmers attend in sufficient numbers to give play to the spirit of emulation in the adop- ‘tion of new plans and processes and | ‘thus, later on, to allow a comparison of results. ‘The full value of the teaching of institute workers is never known until ‘they have been given practi- cal application and results are seen. The continual usé of such practic al} tests, with satisfactory resul's, his induced a steady increase of copfi- dence in institution methods—all the more so because the teachers, in urging changes of methods, hive safe conservatism or enticed the farmer to expensive risks. ‘COMMISSIONERS ; your rescri = Is next of importance to the doctor’s-orders.
