A Great Cyclopedia.

The 22d vol. Columbian Cyclopedia
is just ready; entire set to be compile
ted the present year; price only $25
for entire set, paid by installments,
if desired. The high character of the
work is vouched for by innumerable
witnesses, among others by Prof. Jas.
Strong, editor McClintock & Strong's
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Ecclesiastical
and Theological Literature, who says:
"The Columbian Cyclopedia seems
to me to strike happy medium be.
tween the loose, superficial works, and
the too elaborate and profound ones,
which few are competent or desirous
of using. Most of the larger general
cyclopedias are overloaded with mass
of technical science and official detail
that is embarrassing and useless to
ordinary readers. The Columbian is
eminently practical, sufficiently full,
and carefully compiled, we'll got up,
convenient in form and extent, re-
markably cheap, and, as I should
judge, admirably adapted to families
and general consultation. think that
if properly presented to the public it
will have very wide sale and be an
exceedingly useful work. There is
ample room in the market for cyclo-
pedia like this, which combines, like.
wise. the advantage of being an ex-
cellent dictionary of the English lam
guage."

they are in the greatest preponderance

Litchfiald News Ledger: That the
cost of lighting by electricity is
cheaper than by the old method is
conclusively shown in the case of
Trinity Church, where twenty elec-
trio lights are in use. The cost Of oil,
chimneys, wicks, ETC., for the year
ending March 81, 1890, was $24. With
the electric lights at the new rates
established by the council the expense
will not exceed SIS, making a clean
saving of 50, the church being much
better lighted without the disagreed
bic work of filling lamps and clean
ing chimneys.
If electric lights are 50 much cheap

One man is struggling to get justice,
another is flying from it. One man

trying to sell his building for less

is spending all the money he can
make in taking girl to the theatre,

eventually to make her his wife,
while his neighbor is spending all the

man escapes all the diseases that man
is heir to and gets killed on the rail

The flax crop in Stevens county last

and it paid perhaps better than
any other crop. The fact is the flax
| industry in this state, when properly
managed, is proving to be II profitable
one. In Goodhue county, us we see
by the Red Wing Advance Sun, is
giving flax culture Il good deal of at
tention and it is Il rich source of in-
come that paper says: A few of Good
hue county's stirring men have tried
it for II few years i'll Redwood and
Brown counties, where good lands
sell from SO an acre and upward. They
have bought from so to 100 acres of
wild land paying from 5000 to $4OO
down and agreeing to break upon the
same a reasonable amount the first
year and put it into flax. Last season
Frank Phillips broke % acres. put it
into flax and sold the crop for 1926.
Another realized over $400 and third
over 81 300. A. Benham. of this city,
has purchased in these counties over
10000 acres of land. Six years ago he
built 5000 worth of buildings upon
the same and last year in the neigh
borhood of 10000 bushels of flax was
raised on new breaking on this tract.
BY May lSt of this year Mr.. Benham
says he will have over 45 teams run
ming upon the land he owns, and has
rented, including few peices he has
sold. These teams will break over
six thousand acres the coming season
and, with crops as good Us last year,
over $4,000 bushels of flax will be |
raised thereon. The crops and stock |
raised on these lands in the past five |
years and in the five years to come |
will, it is estimated, bring into these
counties over 81 100000 of money. A
of breaking teams will soon
