It is also one of the important cheeseproducing states. And yet the. state consumes sixteen times as much' cheese in a year as it manufactures, i if the report prepared by tjie department of commerce is to be relied upon.

Colorado, Arizona and Washington, each of which is regarded as a banner cheese state in its class. i The property of the Winona Assent- 1 bly and Summer Schools association has been appraised at $100,5!/, and this sum will be the basis for sale . of the property by Trustee Lloyd Claycombe next September.

The value of the property, ( as filed in the original schedule, was ■ placed at $116,000. The appraisement ( is about one-ninth of the total indebt- ( edness of the association. ( A bird man in discussing the imrai- > Station of American birds says tl orioles stay until September, when s they depart for a warmer climate, i They always'come north to mate. The i orioles like to be near “folks,” so they ; are not as hard to attract as sorfie < song birds. One may scatter yarns, j twine and threads, which they wcate I into their nests, together with veget- 1 able fibre, horsehairs and soft paper.;. s A bird bath, too, no matter how sim- t pie, will add greatly to their comfort. ’ Add to these simple things, protec- ; tion and affection, and they will more ; than repay one for the trouble. i

EYE THE GREAT EDUCATOR. Teach Your Children to See—They Learn More Quickly. Children should not be required to learn through the ears at an age when they ought to be learning only through the eyes. The eyes are the greatest means of education. No animal except man has any other education except that which is gained through the eyes. The Democrat is presenting to its readers an “eye-teaching” Bible which contains more than six hundred pictures applying directly to the verses which they accompany. Heretofore the word ‘illustrated,” as applied to a Bible, meant merely a few allegorical “pictures” of Biblical events taken from any source and “conveniently” placed in any part of the books, merely as embellishment -inserts, but not directly alongside and explanatory of the verse intended to typify or make plain; but our publishers, at an outlay of $50,000, have prepared accurate illustrations descriptive of the reading matter which they accompany, and placed directly next to the scene described —the only place it can be looked for or found quickly, the only place the illustration is a help to you —making this the only really illustrated Bible. In addition to these ey’-teaching text pictures, there are also numerous full-page color plates from the worlfamed Tissot collection, and those are properly placed in ihe chapter or section which they so magnificently illustrate, showing also the particular verse portrayed. You will enjoy this Bible, whether you belong to church or not, for its “eye-teaching” pictures make it of rare educational value to all, both young and old. Call at this office and examine these Bibles. Compare them with any you have ever seen before. But be sure to have six certificates with you, for you will want one of these illustrated Bibles. Both Protestant and Catholic to select from. o BOATS FORCED TO RETREAT Constantinople, April 21, —(Special to Daily Democrat) —it’was officially announced today that during Sunday night six hostile torpedo boats attempted to penetrate the Dardanelles.
