Buck of Cohasset. 3,000 ACRES FOR COLONIZATION Syndicate Pays $25,000 for Tract 25 Miles South of Grand Rapids in Aitkin County., One of the most important deals of the summer in Minnesota farm land were made last week when a tract of 3,000 acres in Aitkin county near the Soo line, 25 miles south of Grand Rapids, was sold to a syndicate head- ed by J J. McAuliffe. The sale was made by E. L. Buck and the amount involved totaled $25,000. ‘The land is being purchased for colonization purposes and is largely cut-over lands. Another sale made by Mr. Buck last week was a tract on Pokegama lake, near the ferry crossing, five miles south of Grand Rapids ,to Supt ‘A. J. MoGuire of the state Experi- ment farm. Mr. McGuire has been camping at the lake this summer and Was so well pleased with the local- ity that he decided to secure a site for a summer home and will shortly begin the erection of a handsome cot tage on the site secured. Still another sale closed by Mr. Buck last week was that of 40 acres to R.

The stock of the association has been taken by many people, business j men of Cohasset and farmers of the! surrounding country, making the as- sociation purely a cooperative one. The plans and specifications were | furnished by the extension depart: | ment of the state university and call for a modern, fireproof building. Work ig to start at once, and the building Will be ready to receive produce this fell. ‘i The site selected for its Jocation,, is an ideal one, being located on the side track of the Great Northern where it skirts the river bank, so that produce cominng to market at Cohasset either by boat or wagon | vidual ear tests. stration was conducted generally, it! | trees; be delivered directly, in the ware- house. It is expected that many of the farmers residing in the vicinity of the Mississippi river and Pokegama lake will take advantage of the cheap- er and quicker water route to mar- ket *vheir produce in the fall when the roads are bad. A barge loaded with farm produce would fill two cars and can land right up to the railroad track and warehouse. DEMONSTRATIONS FOR COUNTY FAIR Important Industries Should be Illus- trated at Fairs Says Agri- cultural Expert There is no better way of making a county fair attractive to the farmers, | their wives, and their children, than by the use of frequent demonstra, tions. It may mean success, in many instances, where failure has been met before. Illustration by actual] demonstra- tion hag become one of the basic principles employed by colleges and experiment stations in carrying ac- curate information on farming to the public. A luxuriant field of alfalfa which produces three crops of excel- lent hay in one season will have more influence in promoting alfalfa culture in any community than score of addresses and .pooks. Everyone in the community is certain that al- falfa can be grown with success, for an actual field of alfalfa has been) seen growing successfully under lo- cal conditions. So it is with demonstrations at a county fair. They may be of any na- ture ,according to the need of the locality. If dairying is one of the important industries; demonstrations may be given on testing, butter mak- ing cheese making and the sanitary bandiing of milk. If there are many chickens raised, the demonstrations may be on killing, dressing, and pack ing poultry for market. Cooking schools and dressmaking and millin- ery schools, where school girls or young wome: do the! actual work, wili interest the women greatly. Now tha Minneso“. has forg.d her way into the great American | corn belt, a very important demon- stration might be conducted in the selection of s-ed corn, its care be- fore peing shelled, after germination in spring, and the operation of indi- If such a demon- might lead to a great increase in the average corn yield. The transplant- ing, pruning, and budding of fruit the laying out and planting of garden plots; the canning, preserv ing, and drying of fruits; and the judging of al] kinds of live stock of different types will be sure to raise the educational] value of the county fair. It is not too late, at any rate, for the county fair board to think about such a plan.—Ray P. Speer, Minn. College of Agriculture. They’re All For Schmahi. Regardless of party factional] ‘dif- ferences the newspapers of the state are practically unanimous in, endors- ing the candidacy of Julius A. Schmah] for another term ag secre- i@ry of state. Schmahl's recond has shown him to be the right man in} the right place, and there is no ques- tion about his being returned to the office for another term. % Special Sale | To make room for the New Fall Stock a Special Reduction in prices will be made until Septem- ber Ist, on all Art Goods, Stamped Towels, Pillow Slips, Cushion Tops, Etc.

Nature. we may reflect. has a hard time in competition with the chemist. Her slow, laborious processes are one by one being superseded. Her most delicate perfumes, which ske dishes to us in drops, are made by the gallon in the laboratory. The in- finite delicacy of her tints we stimu- late from a material so unromantic as coal tar. We squeeze a cellulose prod- uct through a tiny hole, and we have the silk of the silk worm. We trans- form trees into paper and educate the world.

Is Fed, Then Tired ig the Signal. An execution in Siam is an extraor- dinary- business, according to a corre- spoudent vf the Chronique Medicale. The doomed man, awakened at dawn. is led in chains to the temple. where candles are lit around him. He is ex- horted to think of nothing to disasso- ciate his mind from mundane affairs and is given the best meal of his life. the menu being carefully chosen ac- cording to the social status of the crim- inal. There are two executioners. One is hidden in some brushwood, while the other. dressed in vivid red, conducts the criminal to the place of sacrifice. bidding him he seated on banana leaves “in order to be entirely sep- arated from earth.” The condemned man is then put into Position, awaiting the ax. Earth is put in his ears. For two hours or more nothing happens. Siamese law de- mands that the criminal shall bow his head voluntarily to the ax. This he does finally from sheer exhaustion, and immediately headsman No. 2 rushes ; from his hiding place and does the rest. The executioners are then spray- ed with holy water and otherwise puri- fled from contact with the victim's soul.—Paris. Cor. New York World. Measuring Nature. Nature is not benevolent. Nature is just. gives pound for pound. measure for measure, males no ercentions, nev- er tempers her decrees with mercy or winks at any infringement of her laws. And in the end is not this best? Coulé the universe be run as a charity or @ benevolent institution or as a_poor- house of the most approved pattern? Without this merciless justice this ir- refragible law, where would we have brought up long ago? It is a hard ges pel. but rocks are hard. too. yet they form the foundations of the hills. Man introduces benevolence. mercy, altre- ism, into the world. and be pays the price in his added burdens. and be reaps his reward in the vast social ané civic organizations that were imposst- ble without these things.—John Bur roughs in Century. An Uncrowned King of France. The president of the French chamber enjoys an almost regal state. Every time he goes to his official palace in the Quai d'Orsay he is greeted by beating drums. Whenever there is a ministe rial crisis he must be summoned by the president of the republic to give his advice. He receives what is an ex- traordinary salary for a French officiat —100,000 francs per annum. The ap pointment dates from the days of the convention. On Sept. 21, 1792, was held the debate by which the appoint- ment was created. The first president was Pefion, a violent Girondist. His six secretaries were also Girondists It was symptomatic of the times that eight months later the seven were con- demned to the guillotine by the dep- uties who elected them. 299 Broadway the arm is guaran manufacturer's guarantee.
