Local Secretary,
Little Palls, Minn.,

You are advised that examination will be held in your city

of forest clerk (male) at entrance salary of $1,100 or $1,-
200 per annum in the forest service.
Owing* t > the large number of
places where the examination
will be held it will not be practical to furnish all the local
secretaries with the application
blanks, instructions, etc., but
all persons wishing" to take the
examination should apply at
this office for such blanks and
necessary instructions. Special
attention is called to the fact
that the receipt of applications
will close November 5.
It is desired to secure as large
an eligible register as possible,
there will probably be an extensive demand for employes of
this class, hence each board is
requested to make special efforts to secure a good number
of suitable applicants.
Very respectfully,
J. M. Shoemaker,
Secretary.

Justice
Justice is itself the great
standing of civil society; and
any eminent departure from it
under any circumstances, lies
under the suspicion of being no
policy at all. The policy of
having a case of golden grain
belt beer on hand that it may
be served regularly with your
meals is one that everyone
should adhere to. Owing* to
to nutritive food values
it has attained a high
stand in the American home.

Good Money From 8 Acres
A small yield of wheat on his
farm will not cause much worry to Joshph Teders, who lives
southeast of the city in Sherburne county, for Mr. Teders
this summer raised a crop of
cabbage whicli will put any
wheat crop t° shame, says the
St. Cloud Times. Mr. Teders
planted eight acres to cabbage
last spring and now has over
50,000 nice firm heads for sale.
He is selling* them at six cents
per head, which will net him
$3,000. Ot course some expenses are connected with the crop
as well as any other, but not
nearly as much as with wheat..*
The cabbages were raised on
low soil in which thej* withstood
the drouth well.The heads were
slightly damaged by hail early
in the season,but later developed in fine shape. Mr. Teters
will haul a large amount to
this city but the largest share
will be sent in carload lots to
the Twin cities.—Transcrip.

After sentencing Cecil Meyers and James Williams to the

The   Bishop   came   m   the
train Tuesday afternoon.     He
was met at the   station   by   50
horsemen who escorted him to
the   borders   of   the' village.
Here were formed for procession to the  church  about  500
people in the following'  order:
About   200    school   childr  n,
Young Men's s< cietv,   Young
Ladies' society,  Catholic   Order of Foresters, St. Joseph's
society, horsemen,   band   and
finally   the   coaches   carrving
the Bishop and priests.    This
long   procession   of   children,
the   societies   carrying  their
banners     and    wearing   their
emblems, fifty men on   prancing horses flaunting colors fitting the occasion, all   keeping
s'ep to the strains of a march
was a sight which   must   h _ve
stirred the most prosa c.
At 8 o'clock  a   torch   light
procession     was    formed   iii
which tiie  whole   village   and
many from the country marched to the   parsonage  to   serenade the clergy.     After a salute by the children and a   few
selections by the band,   Mike
Flicker, president of   the   St',
Jose; h     society,   and     Emil
Froehner,    Chief    Ranger  of
the Catholic Order of Foresters, made short addresses   of
welcome to which   the   Bishop
gave a hearty response. While
the    crowd    was   s'owlv    dispersing-, there was an   elaborate dis*.lay of fire works, which
were bv everybody  pronounced the best  ever   seen   in   the
village.
At 8:30 a. m. Wednesday
there w_ts the blessing of the
church, at 9:30 Pontifical high
mass was read bv the Bishop
after which confirmation was
administered to 118 boys and
127 girls. There had be^ n
no confirmation since 1906,
At 2:30 p m. the blessing
of the       new Stations
which arrived last week, took'
..lace. The Bishop went to
Litt'e Falls at four o'clock, by
auto.
There were present:
Rev. Leo Gans   of   the   Cathedral of St. Cloud.
Rev.    Lange,    formerly   of
Buckman now of Lake Henrv.
Rev. Brander of Buckman
Rev. Sand of Lastrup.

That the occasion of the
Bishop's visit was observed!
with oue solemnity and that
the festival was a complete
success without a break in the
programme is due larg*ely to
the untiring efforts of Father
Stiegler and other members
of the . :b uniit tee on arrangements.
