Se | DEER RIVER FOLKS HONOR ¢, M, KING Banquet Given To Distinguished Townsman In Recognition Of Good Roads Fight. Deer River people united Monday evening to honor by a_ reception and banquet, the good work done by iC. M. King in defence of the Elwell law. The reception was held in the auditorium of the Methodist church, to think chills and fever came from swamps, and refused to live near: |them. We now know that the mala- |ria came from swamps, just because ‘the swamps bred the kind of mosqui- | toes which took keen delight in bit- ling @ person with malaria and then piting one who didn’t have it. | If you could follow a fly fora da or could see the germs on its pad- like feet you would not be surprised ‘at getting sick. |) The only safe way to prevent the spread of disease by flies is to clean out all filth so that flies can’t be and Grand Rapids and Deer River | hatched, and to kill all the flies in people vied in their expressions of appreciation of the good work done by Mr. King for northern Minnesota, Among the speakers of the even ing were Senator C. C. McCarthy of Grand Rapids and Mayor Bried of Deer River. A feature of the even~ ing was the presentation to Mr. King! by Chairman Herried of a handsome, leather rocking chair.- In responding to the words of appreciation voiced by his fellow townsmen Mr. King urged that the citizens work to se- cure the greatest possible good from the Elwell measure, and that they, work for the adoption of the Dunn amendment at the next legislative, | session. | Mr. King went to St. Paul Tues- day to attend a meeting of the state highway commission Wednesday, when plans for the proposed high- ways already outlined will be ap-| proved. : Speaking to a Herald-Review re- porter Mr. King said: ‘“‘We expect that actual work will be commenced on the proposed roads in Itasca county within the next ten days. The highway commission does not propose to lose a moment's time in getting actual operations started.” Asked regarding the available funds) for road work if the Dunn amend- ment carries, he stated: “The Dunn; amendment will raise the state tax 3-4 of.a mill. This will give $27,000,000 of a mill. This will give $27.000.000 for road work in the different coun- ties of the state and is a measure that every one who has the interest of northern Minnesota at heart should work for.” FEDERAL AID FOR THE STATE FARM Government Will Cooperate With Minnesota In Advancing Agri- cultural Work. | The University of Minnesota agri- cultural department, in cooperation with the department of agriculture at Washington, D. C., is districting the | state in keeping with a plan to have more than a score of trained agricul- turists to work among the farmers for improved farming conditions and methods. Congressional appropria.| tions for the work will be available ‘July 1, and Minnesota is one of the states which will cooperate with the federal government better to equip the farmers of the state for their vocation. Dean A. F- Woods of the agricul- tural college announced Saturday the preliminary plans that have ‘been made to take advantage of the offer of federal government. The Washing ton department will furnish half of the experses of the experts, the stat« the other half. It is planned by Dean Woods to have eight districts in Min- nesota with general superintendents, while scores of counties will have special experts who will go about from farm to farm, advising as to seeding, seed testing, crop rotations and al] agricultural problems. The eight Minnesota districts, with their central operating stations, fol- low: Northwest section, Crookston. Northeast section, Grand Rapids. West central section, Morris. Northeast section, Duluth. Central and south central St. Anthony Park. Southeast section, Waseca. Southwest section, Pipestone. In each sectional] station will be a supervisor to have charge of the work of the component counties, and many counties willl be attended to exclusively by one man. The west central] section around Crookston has peen already organized, but none of the experts will be assigned until the appropriations are available July 1. {fhe workers will cooperate with the station at St. Anthony Park and the sub-stations throughout the state, STATE BOARD TELLS HOW GERMS TRAVEL When people become sick they often wonder how they ever ‘‘caught it.” They didn’t ¢atch anything. sections; sight. | | COMMENCEMENT WEEK CALENDAR Program Outlined For Closing Ex- ercises At High School Next Week.

In order that as many old soldiers as possible may get their applications on file for pensions under the new Sherwood law, Representative Miller has sent plank applications to sev- eral hundred soldiers in his district during the last week. “The veterans do not know that the mew rate under the Sherwood law takes effect from the date of filing,” ‘Mr. Miller says, “and I have sent ap- plications to such of the old soldiers as I have listed in my files, in order that they may reach the pension of- fice as early as possible. I want to reach as many of the veterans as pos sible, and will be glad to have others communicate with me in order that I may send them the necessary blank forms.” At Jimmy Harrigan’s wake a tinge of patriotism was manifest.

I’m always doing the same | old chores, I'm always sweeping the same old floors, I'm always washing the same old frocks, and darning holes in the same old socks. I’m| sick and tired of this wretched life. ‘There is no joy for a poor man’s| wife.” The wife of the rich man sighed and said: “Gee whiz! A dame might as well be dead. I’m| always doing my social chores, I'm always wearied by stately bores; I’m always choosing the proper gown, I’m always motoring through the town. I'm always doing the same old things. I wish, I wish I had ten- foot wings; I’d fly away to some lonely cot, and do a stunt coffee-pot.” We all grow tired of the work we do, and sigh and rant till the air is blue. But it does no good and it bales no hay, and the wise man chases such thoughts away The world improves with each pass- ing year, because each man in his little sphere, takes off his jacket and grins and sings: and keeps on doing the same old things.—Walt Mason, eee A Grand Rapids girl, just home from college, was asked by her mas- culine parent how she was getting along in her studies, particularly in grammar. The college maid enthu- siastically burst out, so-fashion : “Say, dad, take it from me, gram- mar was my long suit. On the start off I twas up against it hard. Couldn’t get it through my noodle. Fell down every time I went to class. Finally I says to myself. look here, old kid, it’s up to you.

Not on your life- I was right there with bells on. There ‘was certainly some class to the way I answered those quizzes. A cold mark of ninety-five when it was all over. Not so worse, eh? beat it? How I did it, I don’t know. You can search me. But anyhow it’ going some, eh, dad@?
