final session is over.
Grookston Making Ready.
Crookston, Nov. 27. The third
annual convention of the Northern
Minnesota Development association
to be held in Crookston Thursday and
Friday, December 5 and 6, will be
the best convention ever held by the
association, and Crookston will do
her part.
All visitors will be banqueted at
the Crookston School of Agriculture
the first day by the business men of
Crookston, and a smoker will be giv
en later the same evening in the com
mercial club rooms.
It costs money to take care of such
a convention and it takes work to
prepare for it. The program which
has been prepared includes addresses
by such men as James J. Hill, Presi
dent George E. Vincent of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, Fred B. Snyder
of Minneapolis, G. G. Hartley of Du
luth, and a number of others.
The first afternoon session will be
held at the Crookston School of Agri
culture, where several of the build
ings will be dedicated. This is very
proper because this great school is
one of the most potent forces toward
a better development of Northern
Minnesota. The committees named
to handle the convention, and who
should be given every assistance by
other citizens, both in cash and work
when called upon, are as follows:
Committee on arrangementsJ. P.

Dear Friend:
As in former years at this time of
Thanksgiving, we have asked our
friends for aid to help us carry on
our work of caring for the sick poor,
who have no means to defray their
hospital expenses, so this year again
appeal to our friends for cotnribu
tions of' money, eatables, blankets,
night dresses, etc., as they choose.
Thanking each and all, in advance
for any favor given, and praying God
to reward your charity with his
choicest blessings we respectfully re
main Your most pratefully,
SISTERS OF ST. BENEDICT.
Arts and Crafts Idea.
We have all seea very attractive
bits of jewelry made from gold or sil
ver coins by having the background
space etched away, leaving only the
head and the encircling rim with a few
little connecting bars. The same idea
can be carried cut by using for the
head a little silhouette portrait, made
by posing the subject against a bright
sky through a window in a room, dark
ened all except that one window, then
taking a snapshot. A camera taking a
picture two inches by three is large
enough and the whole head should be
less than an inch. Take several pic
tures until a good outline is obtained.
A baby's head is exquisite and done
In silver would be a beautiful scarf pin.
For such a pin have only the head
without an encircling rim. A mother's
baby's head in gold would make a
pendant that would be a great treas
ure. For a man who has two small
sons I am planning cuff links, each
link to have at one end a "different"
boy, the other end of the link, of
course, to be the usual dumbell.De

T&BMimn DAILY HONEEE
Simple Dimples. I
She had a dimple in each cheeka
deep, dainty, loving, kissable, delicious
dimple.
"Ah!" exclaimed the young fool,
"how I wish I had dimples like that
and he reached out his hand and pat
ted them softly.
The maiden smilod until the dim
ples were a hundred times lovelier
than before, and the youth was com
pletely captured. He took her for
drives in the park. Then he took her
to a hotel and treated her to a din
ner such as visiting princes indulge
in at the expense of the government.
Next they went to the theater and oc
cupied a box, and after that they
sought out a cozy cafe.
And since then he has had two dim
ples, two deep, cavernous, empty dim
ples, one in each side of his purse, and
they will stay there until next pay day.
Stone Microbes.
The decay of building stones, ac
cording to more than one authority, is
cot due to wind action or other sur
face Influence, but to internal disin
tegration resembling wood rot, and
this is ascribed by some to a low or
ganism like the fungi and the molds
that cause the decay of vegetable sub
stances.
A cure has been found for the stone
disease, or at least a form of treat
ment that diminishes its ravages. The
stones are treated with germicides,
the best of which appears to be a mix^
ture of sulphate of copper solution
with bichloride of mercury and crao*
sote.
W
POWERS SAY DRUM MUST* GO
Will Be Cut Out as Necessary Article
of Military Equipment by
European Nations.
It was some time ago that, acting
upon the recommendations embodied
In a report by a military commission,
the^ French government reached the
conclusion that the drum was no long
er a necessary article of military
equipment. The report set forth that
the drum was a serious incumbrance
In marching that rain impaired Its
usefulness that its calls could not be
distinguished in time of battle that
It consumed a period of two years to
turn out an efficient drummer, and
that by abandoning the use of the
drum many thousands of youths and
men would be released for active
service.
Since the decision of the French
government other European powers
have followed its example in decree
ing that the "drum must go."
The history of the drum is both an
cient and honorable. The Egyptians
employed it, and the Greeks ascribed
its invention to Bacchus. The Spanish
conqueror Pizarro is said to have
found drums in South America tem
ples. The snakes of Ireland, we are
told, fled from the Emerald isle be
fore the drum beats of St. Patrick.
The Puritans of New England used
the drum as a church bell, and it
figured frequently and romantically
all through our wars of the Revolu
tion and the Civil war.
BIRD THAT KEEPS A SLAVS
Frigate-Bird Forces the Booby-Bird
to Supply Fish for His
Dinner.
The booby-bird never leaves the
broad seas, where his harsh cry is
heard from the Hebrides to the
Faroes and from the cliffs of Scot
land to the coast of Norway. He re
vels in the storms and screams above
the roar of the sea. The booby has
green feet, yellow eyes, and a defiant
head covered with a yellow cap Each
of its wings is three feet long and its
beak is so stiff and so strong that
it fears no enemy but the frigate-bird.
The frigate-bird is the terror of the
birds of the sea, though he ignores
all but the booby. Owing to the
breadth of his wings, the frigate can
not fish he Is forced to remain in
the air. But as he cannot get fish
in the air, and as he requires fish
for his nourishment, he presses the
booby into his service. When hungry
he swoops down upon the booby and
gives it a vigorous thrust in its throat,
Then the booby's mouth opens and
the fish caught in it drops out. The
frigate has only to give one peck at
the booby's throat to get his dinner.
It happens occasionally that the
booby attacked by the frigate has
nothing in its mouth. When the fri
gate pecks in vain, he belabors his
slave with his beak and drives him,
bruised and terrified, into the sea to
catch fish.
Life Without Microbes.
The oft-debated question as to
whether there can be life without mi
crobes is held to have been solved by
M. Michel Cohendy of the Pasteur in
stitute of Paris, who has reared live
chickens in an enclosed space which
was quite free from microbes. By the
use of an ingenious apparatus for
hatching the chickens and then rais
ing them for a certain time, he was
able to produce animals which did not
contain any microbes, and they were
able to live, and appeared to be as
healthy as usual. His apparatus
served in the first place as an incu
bator for hatching the eggs and then
as a chamber where the chickens are
able to live as long as may be de
sired. M. Cohendy kept the chickens
in his apparatus for 45 days, and the
contents of their digestive organs,
blood and so on, were found to be free
from microbes. Those that were kept
alive did not seem to suffer at all from
being transferred to the germ-laden
atmosphere, for they grew up success
fully.
Machine to Write Music.
A German musician has invented
a machine which, he states, automatic
ally registers the notes emitted by
the piano. The new machine has the
same object as one invented by an
Italian and used by Mascagni in writ
ing his operas, but it is a larger in
strument and is operated by elec
tricity. Into the machine is inserted
a roll of paper, and the composer
seats himself before the piano and
executes the composition that he de
sires to give to the public. The ma
chine faithfully registers every note
produced, so that the musician does
not have to depend upon his memory.

Herons Most Affectionate Birds.

a momentary embrace and then took
up his position while the other bird
flew away. The herons never omitted
this affectionate salutation.
St. Petersburg's Growth.
That St. Petersburg is rapidly grow
ing in population is evidenced by the
census taken in December, 1910, which
showed the population, including cer
tain suburban villages formerly not
covered, to be 1,907,708. It is pre
eminently an "office town," and also a
seaport for six or eight months of
the year.
