Some Exceptional Offerings. The program at the Gem theatre for the remainder of this week and the beginning of next is one of the best offered by any motion picture house in the country. Tonight and for Thursday’s matinee “Trooper Bil- ly,” in two reels, with Carlyle Black- well in the lead, will head the bill. There will be a special matinee on Thursday afternoon—Lincoln’s Birth- day—at which this striking war drama will be presented. On Thursday the Klien special fea- ture, in three reels, “The Black Cir- cle, will be the main attraction. There {will also be a good comedy reel on this evening, making 4,000 feet of particularly fine pictures. The ad- mission price on this night will be Supt. A. J. McGuire of the Northeast Experimental farm has issued a press bulletin having for its subject grop rotation and soil fertility. The bul- letin deals particularly with the pro- blems of the small farmer and should prove of value and interest throughout this section where nearly all farmers are as yet in this class. The report says: “When a farm must be made tc pay from the crops of 20 to 30 acres, large yields are necessary. The farms of the timbered section have on an average less than 25 acres under the plow. “The average yield of crops on the Experiment farm for 1912 and 1913 were as follows: Oats 65 bush- el per acre, wheat 19 bushels, barley 42 bushel, clover hay 4 3-4 tons per acre, two cuttings; fodder corn 13 tons per acre, green weight; potatoes 335 bushel per acre, roots 18 tons pet acre. “We have found that the largest yields are secured by growing grain, clov and cultivated crops in what is known as a three year rotation. “In this rotation or system cf crop-j ping, one third of the plow ‘2:d of the farm is grown to grain, one third to clover and one third t> cuicivated crops, corn, potatoes and roots. “in this rotation grain is grown on the same field but one year at a time and is then followed by clover; clover is grown but one year and then plowed up and the field grown to cultivated crops: tatoes and reots and these are grown on the same field but one year. “f “Each field grows grain one year, clover one year and cultivated crops one year, every three years. That is, each field upon which it is prac- tical to have this rotation. A field that is too low or too hilly or too stony could not be worked in this ro- tation with profit. “This frequent growing of clover adds fertility to the soil, a cultivated crop on each field every third year helps keep out weeds and the year- ly change of crops lessens the loss from crop diseases. “Land Must Be Manured: The ro- tation of crops and the growing of clover is not all that is necsesary for large yields. The land must be ma- nured and here again we would say: When a farm must be made to pay} from the crops of 20 to 30 acres, the _ Jand should be manured every third year. We have 100 head of cattle on the Experiment farm of which 60 are cows. We are keeping that number, mot only because dairying is profitabl ‘but because we have found that the manure is necessary for the 120 acrse the plow on the Experiment farm, in order to produce the largest vorn, po-} }20 cents, with the privilege of de- ;manding your money back at the end of the pérformance if you do not ‘consider the show worth the price. | On Friday evening the regu’ Pathe Weekly No. 79 will be shown, together with an excellent Vitagraph comedy, “Betty in the Lion’s Den,” with Clara Kimball Young in the lead, The bill for Saturday and Sunday is one of exceptional merit. The two- |reel’ sensation, “Peg ’O the Movies,” | wil be presented on these two ev- enings, as well the last picture of the present Mary series, ““Who Will Mary Mary?”. Don’t forget that the next Famous Players production is “In the Bishop's Carriage,” with Mary Pickford in the lead, on Monday and Tuesday. This is a twenty-five cent attraction and is guaranteed to be worth the price. i ETE ! || What Are You | HETHER or not the parcel post has increased the com- petition of the local merchant is an open question. The fact remains that the parcel post is here and, being here, the mer- chant should turn it to his own advantage. He can do this if he will, though necessarily some changes in his present business. arrangements are inevitable. Within fifty miles of his place of business the parcel post per- i mits every merchant to deliver goods much more quickly and at a lower rate than any one in oth- er sections. His field is materi- ally widened. Catalogues, leaf- lets and price lists of his stand- ard goods, specified newspaper and circular advertising may now be used to advantage by the smal] merchant where afore- time he was handicapped by the costs of delivery and the limita~ tions of his field. | INSTEAD OF BEING AN OBSTACLE. THE PARCEL POST SHOULD BE MADE HIS ABLEST ALLY IN DE- VELOPING HIS TRADE. High Sch= EDITED BY STUDENTS We are.glad to report that Gladys Dayton, who has been seriously ill with pneumonia, has returned to school. Rumors are around that the Soph- mores are to entertain the Seniors in the near future. The Seniors earnestly hope that the rumor is true. The Freshman class enjoyed a sleighride to Coleraine Friday night. Old Resident Dies. Frank LeSarge, for ten year a resi- dent of Grand Rapids, died last Fri- day morning at his home here of tu- mor of the stomach. He was born in the province of Ontario sixty years ago and had lived in Grand Rapids most of the time since coming to this country. He had been a sufferer from the ailment that caused his death for some time and two months ago went to Rochester to consult specialists, but they could do nothing for him. Deceased leaves a wife and nine chil- dren to mourn his loss. The latter were all present at the funeral ex- cept a son, Aldrich LeSarge, who lives in the state of Washington and could not reach here in time. Interment was at Itasca cemetery. A Peculiar Accident. | | John Olmstead, pop maker at the bottling works of John Cos- tello, met with a peculiar accident} on Monday morning, The cold weathe) er of the previous night had frozen) the pump supplying the plant with | water, and Olmstead poured boiling} water into it to thaw it out. As soon | released and the heavy handle drop- er up through the top of the pump and striking the pop maker in the |face. It was at first thought that: the sight of the left eye was in dan-| |ger, but this seems happily not to be| ithe case. Olmstead was temporarily; blinded by the stream and does not himself known exactly how the ac- cident could have happened . Church Dedication at Big Fork. The First Presbyterian church at Bigfork will be dedicated next Sun- day, Feb. 15, with appropriate serv- ices. Rev. F. J. Barackman pastor levangelist of the Duluth Presbytery, will officiate, assisted by the pastor of the church, Rev. H. S. Mathews, and Rev. S. A. Blair, Sunday school missionary. The building has been beautifully equipped and occupies one of the prettiest sites in the village. It is the most northern church build- ing in Itasca county and the peoplé of the village are justly proud of “it: Bigfork is situated in the midst of @ good farming section which is rapidly gaining in population and its people are of the energetic, hustling kind that are working together to make the most of their splendid natural oppor- tunities. Good Words for McCarthy. The Bemidji Pioneer says that the announcement that C. C. McCarthy will not be opposed to Judge “Wright at the polls next June, leaves only F. J. MePartin of International Falls in the race. But as the campaign is still young other lawyers of the dis- trict may possess the “judicial bee.” To which the Duluth Herald adds: “All mentioned are capable men. Many in Duluth would like to see Former Senator McCarthy wear the ermine as a fitting climax to his career.” Land Sales in 1914. The first state land sale of the 1914 season will be held on March 16, and thereafter once a month on the following dates: April 20, May 18, June 15, July 20, August 17, Sept. 21, ; Oct. 19, and Nov. 16. Basket Ball Team Wins. In the basket ball game between the teams of the Grand Rapids and Deer River high schools at the lat- ter town on Friday evening, last, the Grand Rapids team won by a score of 46 to 23.

Miller, Min- neapolis land promoters, were arrest- ed on a complaint sworn out by the postal authorities on the charge of fraudulent use of the mails. Thorne is president and Miller treas- urer and general manager of the Southland Stock and Land company. They were arrested in Minneapolis by R. M. Hugdahl, postal inspector in | charge of the investigation, and Dep-! uty United States Marshal George W. Wells. They were brought to St. Paul | before Commissioner Whaley. They) pleaded not guilty to the complaint and a preliminary hearing was set for some days later. Bail was fixed | at $2,500 for each man. They were remanded to the custody of the mar- | shal’s office. Working the Mines of the Rand. That Africa, with its millions of idle negroes, should suffer from scarcity of labor seems to the outsider incredible, but it is a fact that the securing and | distribution of labor is the most vital factor in the economic life of the con- tinent south of the equator. It has been estimated that the Rand pays $300,000 a year to recruit the contin- gent from Portuguese Wast Africa alone, this sum covering only the ex: pense of getting the “boys” from their homes and back again. A nonsalaried recruiter gets $5 for every boy he per- suades to go to the mines. It is by | supplying the Rand with 50,000 to | 60,000 boys annually that the province of Mozambique draws directly and in- | directly by far the larger part of its revenue. Frur ’ Wecorations. The new fruit decorated crapes, eta- | mines and eponges help fill the de mand for odd and striking color com- binations and afford relief from the familiar flora] decorations or the some- what overworked conventional designs shown on Balkan embroidery and post impressionist fabrics. The decorations of the fruitists, as the designers of these patterns are called, are not ap- ples or plums or grapes or any other fruits ever seen by man, but they sug- gest fruit, nevertheless, and are inter- esting both in form and color. Helpful Hints, To boil milk without fear of burn- ing, place three or four tablespoonfuls of water in the pan, let it boil rapidly a minute or two, then add the milk. A little bit of soap added to the starch will make the clothes iron bet- ter and have a lovely gloss. For a nervous headache, knot the hair high on the head, remove the waist and, while bending over the wash basin, apply a sponge soaked in hot water to the back of the neck. Repeat this several times and the pain will disappear. A Laureate on Lytton. When Bulwer Lytton attacked Tennyson for accepting a civil list pension, Tennyson retaliated with a ten stanza poem in Punch, which has not been included in any collected edi- tion of his works. He described his antagonist as: That padded man—that wears the stays— Who killed the girls and thrilled the boys With dandy pathos when you wrote. . . . . . . . What profits now to understand The merits of a spotless shirt, A dapper boot, a little hand, If half the little soul is dirt? Tennyson felt ashamed of this out- bust when he saw it in print. Punch of the following week contained his “After Thought,” which ends: * Surely, after all, ‘The noblest/answer unto such Is kindly silence when they brawl. —London Chronicle. Light of the Fireflies.

The Agricultural club met at Mel- vin Rosholt’s Saturday last. Doings of the club are not very exciting at ‘present, perhaps on account of its members being so deeply engrossed in their logging operations.
