Money has piled up in the great
financial centers in such vast amounts
that although the rates of interest are
lower than at this time last year, the
money cannot be put out to adyan-
tage, as the demand is not large. The
surplus in the New York banks is the
largest ever known. The inquiry for
commercial paper is far in excess OF
the offerings, and money is quoted
from 4 to s per cent. Commercial
paper in Minneapolis is offered at 5
to 6 for gilt edged and 6 to Z for or
binary, and yet in spite of all this
plethora of idle capital there is no
money to be obtained, except in small
sums and at maximum rates on real
estate loans. If money at reasonable
rates of interest were obtainable, there
would be large amounts of it placed
on farm lands and thus put into cir
culation. 1t is the only way we can
get money into the country before
another fall, and every effort should
be made by those interested and con-
cerned in the prosperity and welfare
of the west to encourage capital to
seek investment on western farm land
securities.

Fo some time past it has been no.
ticed that there are quite a number OF
child Ten playing about the streets
dur Ag school hours. 1t is evident
tho are not attending school, as they
SHOULD be, and in order to give par
6nts an idea of their responsibility in
this matter, and what the law de-
mands and requires, we will give the
following extracts from the statutes
1t says:
Every parent, guardian or other
person in the state of Minnesota hav-
ing custody of any child or children
between the ages of 8 and l6 years
shall be required to send them to a
public school or private school, or
taught by a competent instructor for
a period of at least II weeks each
year, at least 6 weeks of such time to
be consecutive, unless the children
are excused by the school authorities.
Failure to comply with the provisions
of the act is a misdemeanor punish
able by fine of not less than $50 or
more than S25 for each offense.
We would like to see the school
authorities take STEPS to have the par
ents of those children who are run
ming about the streets made to realize
their responsibility in the premises,
even to making an example of them,
if necessary, to check this growing
evil.

Love FER the z,.za..

Tho straight line is an abomination
to the Chinese. They cndeavor to
avoid it in their streets and buildings
and have banished it completely where
country field paths are concerned.
They will always substitute a curve
whenever possible, or they will torture
it into zig2ag.
In districts not devastated by the Tai
Pings nor subject to the influence Of
the foreigner, the houses and temples
are characterized by curved, often
peaked, roofs. ornamented with fantas-
tic notifications of the myriad stroke
pattern. The inhabitants of such re-
gions are soon found to have mental
world to correspond The straight line
is secuted. They think in curves and
zigzags. To the Chinese mind the
straight line is suggestive of death and
demons 1t belongs not to the heaven
above nor to the earth beneath. In
true horizon line are seen the "undula-
tions of the dragon. Therefore. argue
the Chinese. the straight line pertains
to hades. Contemporary Review.
