MAR EDIT S "COURANT'
Miss McFadden, Minnesota's Favorite
Newspaper Woman Takes Hold
of Suffrage Magazine.
"LIFE AND LOVE ETERNAL."
Under the new management of
Mary McFadden, the "Courant," a
monthly magazine devoted to the in
terests of the suffrage cause, has just
made its appearance
Miss McFadden is well known in
Bemidji and was last here during the
convention of the Women's clubs of
the district a year ago
In taking over the control from
Miss Mary Sue Willes, former editor,
Miss McFadden, a nation-wide suf
frage leader, makes the following an
nouncement
"The Courant is the exponent of
the suffrage cause in the Northwest,
the official organ of club women in
six states, and the women who are
crowding into suffrage societies will
soon be legion
The Couiant will publish some
comparisons, in a coming issue, show
ing how divorce has decreased and
domesticity has thrived under the
beneficient influence of the whole
people's vote Taxation without rep
resentation is one of the rocks upon
which the British government was
shipwrecked this country and it
was later used as a foundation stone
of the republic
The first issue of the Courant con
tains the following poem, entitled
"Life and Love Eternal," written by
Miss McFadden-
The fields are sere and bare boughs
groan,
The wind is sad and restless
And from the changing skies have
flown
Bird-exiles, song-hushed, nestless
Dead grass bends down before the
breeze,
And breakers' sullen surges
Voice low, uncomforting, the sea's
Eternal chant of dirges
Long since the rose lost heart and
died,
The goldenrod late quivered
When death came near, and by its
side,
The blighted aster shivered.
The leaves that held the sunset's
glow
Are brown and dull and lying
On earth's chill breast, or to and fro
In sullen gales are flying
The sun will kiss the fields again
And in the scented hushes,
The rose will breathe through
wood and glen
Will ring the song of thrushes
Death comes in chill November gloom
But when the world is vernal
Lo, forth in resurrected bloom
Smile life and love eternal

GOOD SILAGE IS VALUABLE.
Worth Quarter As Much As Bran aadi
As Good.
"When farmers of Beltrami county
are brought to realize that good sil
age is worth about five dollars a ton,
while they are paying $24 for bran,
and that the former is just as good
for their purpose, silos will be seen
on every farm," says W. G. SChroe
der, proprietor of the Alfalfa Dairy
farm located near Bemidji. Mr.
Schroeder believes that no farm
should be without its silo, and points
to his own success with pride. He
says, "I will be glad to give informa
tion concerning silos to anyone The
condition of the stock fed from the
silo, is usually a strong recommenda
tion for its use."
