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.

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 lineator. 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. Harper's Weekly. Herons Most Affectionate Birds. Of all the birds he had studied, said W. Farren in a lecture at the Royal Photographic society's exhibition, (London, England,) none showed con jugal affection in quite the same way as the brown backed herons of Anda lusia in Spain. Whenever the hus band relieved his wife at the nest he Invariably laid his neck over hers in. 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. _"2_1*1L" Not Really His Fault "1 kept an eye on her until Satur- day," said a seafaring man, referring to his wife, "and then she slipped hex cable while I was on duty."
