Official Paper of Itasca County THE FARM PROBLEM. “The fact that the two ends of the problem, opening farms and mak- ing farms an attractive investment, are now working together, gives every prospect of happy results.” Commenting on the above from the Minneapolis Journal the Duluth News Tribune says Before that the only effort made was to get settlers. Once on the Jand, they were left to sink or swim. They underwent hardships without end and suffered priva- tions no second generation would ever ‘knowingly face. The result was the abandonment of the Jand by the second genera- tion. No farm mother who has jherself been a pioneer has ever used much effort to keep her chil- dren from the town. Most of them have encouraged their children to choose this other life, and who that knows the life of the woman on the farm can wonder that this has, been so. Now this condition is rapidly changing. There is an organized effort to make farm life in every; way attractive. This is as much on the social side as on the business side. In fact, both work together and come together through cooper- ation and community life. Community s-tilement, farm clubs, cooperative marketing, consolidated | schools, the telephone, good roads, rural mail delivery, extension work | by the schools and the govern- ment demonstration farms, model houses and home conveniences, all of these not only go to make pro- fits, but to draw the scattered settlers to iet in the light and to lessen the deadly grind of the woman on; the farm. Make the farm profitable, intelligence as a leading factor in farm work and above all, make the attractive as the farm m)h- ers jifeas clirective as the mother’s life and there will farm problem left. farm home as town home an town, be no The Roseau County eighteen years old, and Editor R. J. Bell takes a pardonable pride in the advance made by the commun- ity in that time—an advance in which the Times has been a de- cided factor. When the paper was established there were neither ehurches, banks, nor sidewalks in the town, it being merely the trad- ing post for a few homesteaders. Now land in the vicinity is fast elimbing toward the hundred-dol- Jar-an-acre mark, and everybody, including the Times, is prospering. So SSS aE Will Have Varied Crops. According to Editor G. F. Peter- son, of the Bear River Journal, the farmers in the Bear river set- tlement will not go in as strong together, to end isolation,; bring | the Times is} for potatoes this season as they | last, but will sow more lover, as | it is easier to aul to market andy is less subjeet to loss through an lover stocked market. Mr. Peterson says that the garden stuffs in the Bear river country are consider- | tably behind the crop last year, ow- ing to the wet spring. He added that this was no reason to fear that the Bear river exhibit at the county fair would not be better and bigger than ever, for he said the farmers parations to carry off the district, as well as many of the individual prizes—Mesabe Ore The Creamery Report The volume of business done at the creamery for the last half of June is very encouraging and leads to the belief that more and more of the farmers are being con- vineed that the success of the creamery means their success. Prac- tically 2700 Ibs, of butter fat were received during this period and over 2500 Ibs of butter were made in addition to the butter fat sold in milk and cream.

But ‘it wasn’t for me to stay. |So I lead the race that turned its face To the north wood’s timber store, And I lay my head on a balsam bed That had never been pressed beforg. And I traced to their heads new river beds, And the vision cama to me How their waves would strive with the pinetog drive For the cities yet to be. But today the spans of your iron bands Have covered the country here, And I want to go to a land I know And find me a new frontier. I want to camp where the air grows damp— With the scent I used to hail When the birch-fire fay at the close of day— I’m hungry to hit ‘the trail. —May Stanley in Duluth News Tribune.

St. Paul.— (Special.)—Some day those who aspire to relieve Governor Eberhart of his grip on the helm of the ship of state will succeed, but the | present tactics of the enemy do not | {Indicate that the jarring loose process will take place at an early date. Up | on Capitol Hill those in charge are be- | ginning to believe that the man from | Mankato is invincible. Adolph Olson Eberhart, you know, “broke in” some four years ago on the death of Gov- ernor John A. Johnson. He was lieu- tenant governor then, a position thase | who were at the Duluth convention will tell you was all but obtained on a fluke. The year following his pro- motion, which was made possible by the death of Governor Johnson, he was given the Republican nomination | for governor at St. Paul without oppo- ' sition. A change of candidate and a |row on the Democratic side of the house made his election a cinch. By every rule of political warfare the close of his second term would have |seen his retirement, but his backers, anxious for his return, forced the en- |actment of a primary act, and a re- jluctant legislature, anxious to please jand at the same time hand his excel- lency and his friends what they con- } sidered a package of the doubtful kind, passed the present law. That law cinched the governorship a third time for Adolph Olson Eberhart and now it |looks as if those interested |change were again preparing to hand | ‘the job to the Mankato man on a sil- an acceptance. tee ‘hart’s enemies are going about the | job of making a third term for him an | absolute cinch I simply call attention | to the latest row, in which James A. | Peterson, who a year ago unsuccess- fully tried to succeed United States | Senator Nelson, has succe in | stirring up. Jim, you possibly have ‘heard, has gubernatorial ambitions, ‘and anent his possible candidacy he | has opened the game by jumping with both feet on a scheduled meeting of Progressives to be held in St. Paul for the purpose of discussing the guber- way for rival candidates. Mr. Peterson says the scheduled meeting is a back- room affair, is in the interest of Gov- ernor Eberhart and his public utilities control scheme and as far as any en- dorsement of his candidacy is con- cerned he wants none of it. He ad- vises all true Progressives to stay away. Jim, you know, has broken used to train, and he intimates that the former head of the Shippers: and Receivers’ association and later. the ruling spirit in the Equity Grain Ex- change is playing with the Eberhart crowd, which he once opposed. As the old saw runs, “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad,” and the Minneapolis man seems to have fallen into the trap. The next victim, I suppose, will be “Bill” Lee, then will come E. A. Young and-oth- lers. Mr. Peterson says he is not now a candidate, but the chances are ‘that he will. Mr. Lee has aspirations and is the old, old story, and so why com- ment any further. If you have any sporting blood, just but your money on Adolph. Nuff sed. ++ + You have got to give credit to his excellency, the governor, for his com- plete ignoring of the strictures in- dulged in by his enemies because of |his traveling craze. Following his visit to the Gettysburg battlefield with his staff Governor Eberhart is now in- dulging in a few side trips and the dispatches tell of his visit to the New | York state capitol and to Chicago, where he was wined and dined and made much of. Members of his staff, ‘resplendent in gold lace and blue cloth, accompanied him and the local papers furnished a line of publicity that must have gladdened the hearts of all concerned. The governor has Promised to be back in time to sit in |at the quarterly meeting of the state pardon board. t+ + It is hardly fair to indulge in any criticism, as the civil service law passed by the last legislature for the benefit of the state labor department is scarcely three months old, yet this fact has not prevented a number from commenting upon the examination of last month and which resulted in the necessary credits being given to all the present employes. All passed the examination and received reappoint- ments. Under the terms of the civil service law as drafted for the benefit of the department the three highest ratings are to be considered when a position is to be filled and the exami- nation as held last month was for the in a} jer, platter and with no chance what- | ever of his falling down in the way of | In pointing out how Governor Eber- | rial situati and preparing the cea ei Me occas ranks of the insurgent members of | with George S.

Because of the failure of town clerks and others in- trusted with the making of reports only a fraction of the cases were sent in. One case of leprosy was also re- ported. In the last quarter of a cen- tury a half dozen caser of this dread disease have been reported, but no at- tempt has been mage to control it be yond isolating the victim. The disease, it is claimed, is less contagious than others of the contagious kind. t+ + + If present plans are carried out Winona county will within a year have a system of concrete roads that will be without a parallel in the state. The county is sreparing to invest over $750,000 in this style of road building and as a starter has let contracts for twenty-one miles of highway. These roads cost the county $7,500 a mile. The roadbed and surface is composed of cement, sand and washed gravel and is said to be almost indestructible. The state highway commission is not pushing this class of roads be- cause of the high cost, but it is lend- ing its aid wherever they are adopted. te As a result of a supreme court de- cision handed down last week the state treasury has been enriched to tidy sum would never have been !added to the store of wealth in the state’s strong box had it not been for a disgruntled employe of a lumber firm. The concern which will pay the state this $15,000 is the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber company. Back in 1905 the company bought from the state-a tract of timber in | St. Louis county. It paid the price demanded and according scale made by the then surveyor | general of logs and lumber. A clerk | in the employ of the logging com- ‘pany, sore at being discharged, | whispered to State Auditor Iverson that the scale timated and he started an investi- | gation which resulted in the location lof a discrepancy of nearly 3,000,000 feet. | +e + | In this neck of the woods no one ‘would be surprised if Eberhart deferred his call for an extra session of the legislature to consider the passage of a statewide public utilities act until the first of next year. The general demand from the country is that it be postponed until that time. had October in mind for the call. It is claimed that rural paper falls due professional men are then busy try- ing to clean it up. ++ + Insurgency has broken out in the scheme of a new organization would go glimmering. The last legislature passed a law permitting a new society, but it was tampered with to the ex- practicable. Despite rulings made by Attorney General Smith covering the law it is claimed that certain per- sons interested in the new movement have been giving out a misleading line of publicity and those insurgents interested in a square deal have threatened to make trouble. It is | more than likely that the next leg- islature will be asked to interfere. + + + Now it is the negro population of the state who are after Governor | Eberhart. Their official organ, the | Twin City Star, published at Min- | neapolis, contends that the governor |has ignored the colored man in Min- nesota. The chief grievance of the {paper is that Governor Eberhart failed to answer a letter from the editor of the colored paper asking that a negro be named among the Minnesota commissioners to the Panama-Pacific exposition. +e + It looks very much as if friends would force Alva Eastman, the St. Cloud editor, into the congressional fight in the new Sixth district. Alva did threaten to break into the game two years ago, but sensibly laid down at the last moment. ++ + The location of the new sixth normal school authorized by the last ern Minnesota towns by the ears and the contest for the honor threatens to result in bad blood. All kinds of charges of double dealing are being made. Park Rapids, Thief River Falls, Bemidji and Cass Lake are among those wanting the new school and they are out with an axe for any one who opposes their claims While the location of the school was ordered no appropriation was made for the construction of the needed school buildings. +t + So far as traffic within the limits of Minnesota is concerned the 2 cent a mile passenger rate and the state commodity and merchandise sche@d ules were put into effect by the raf" roads Tuesday. It is understoot that the new rates on interstate buet- ness from Minnesota will not be ‘3 force until September, on account of the greater time required in adjusting these schedules.

It is no small thing for one man |to stand up against fifty, and have | questions fired at him about all the | things that a president hasin hand; |to recognize instantly which ques- | tions may be answered, which skill- down. Some things that one would be answered at all. The newspaper men march in and jstand about Mr. Wilson’s desk. If any thing, he isthe more at ease. He stands behind his chair, with his hands on its back, or sometimes in his pockets. Usually there isa mom- ent’s constrained silence. The pres- ident is often the first to speak. “Good morning, gentlemen. What is the state of the nation?” Then somebody asks a question. Generally he gets a plain answer. Sometimes it is: “I would like to tell-you that, but matters are at such a point that I think it would not be wise.” Or. perhaps: “That is a thing which congress must decide. I will not encroach up- on the prerogatives of the senate. You will have to get that informa- tion from the house of representa- tives,” or something like that. Sometimes there is a bit of a story always to the point like this: “IT have to leave that to congress. You ‘know what Artemus Ward said: ‘Whenever I see a snake’s hole I let it alone. I keep saying to myself, “That’s the snake’s hole.” ’ ” If you have any doubt that the president overlooks anything, con- sider this. The other day, as the correspondents were leaving, he published rumors about my position about. so-and-so. Is that true?” Someone admitted that it was, and the »~resident said: “I wonder you didn’t ask me about that. Now, if I were you, I would ask me—” There was a roar of laughter. The president assumed that the ques- tion had been asked, and went on to answer it, in a ringing declara- tion which produced the “No Com- promise” stories of the next morn- ing’s papers. And here is something else which has significance of several kinds: Not long ago, in answer toa ques- tion upon a very delicate subject, Mr. Wilson spoke with a degree of frankness that made some of the veterans grasp.

It is not every day that one takes fifty men at once into his intimate confidence. Great mischief might have been done by a careless or malevolent use of the president’s words. The confidence was not misplaced. Not one syllable of it was printed. It would be impossible to say how much of the general public ap- @roval which thus far has shone upon the president is due to the kindly atmosphere of these semi- weekly meetings in the oval room at the White House. Minnesota Produces the Most Iron- The Minnesota iron ranges are producing at present considerably more iron ore than is produced in all the rest of the states together, having furnished nearly 62.5 per cent of the total for the United States in 1912, The whole Lake Superior district, comprising all the mines in Minnesota and Michigan and part of these in Wisconsin, mined 46,368,878 tons in 1912, or nearly 84.08 per cent of the total. —U. 8.
