Minneapolis Journal: Morrison
county has an exhibit consisting OF
grains and grasses which is worth a
visit. The season has been bad
one for the county, the fore part hav.
ing been very wet. and the latter
part equally dry. Notwithstanding
these dra wbacks, the exhibit is a
creditable one, and one that is as
typical of the country as are all the
others. There are some splendid
specimens of the blue grass which is
found wild in the county, several
samples. Of alsike clover, and the
usual showing OF grains. Some al
sike is shown, the stalks of which
are at least two feet in length, q
growth that has been made since the
first of July. at which time the field
in which it wac grown was mown
for the first time. The display OF
garden vegetables is remarkably
good. Some fine varieties of apples
are also to he met with. The exhibit
is presided over by George LaFond.

Hunters Galore Started Out
Tuesday in Search OF {.
Al Prairie Chickens.

\ Tie season fsr legally killing prai-
RE chickens is now open hnd ne
large nunloer Of hunters who left
ttlis.citv Monday night aMt' tuesday
morning indicates that the Morrison
county crop oi these much priced
game birds will be greatly depleted.
II not almost wholly annitsiiate''I Is IA.
On Monday afternoon the hunters
were. all busy making preparations
for the trip, such as getting suitable able
hunting wagons. laying In proviS-
Ions, and incidentals, some OF the
latter being very essential to hunt
ing excursions Of all kinds.
1t. was Impossible to obtain infor-
nation from any Ut the parties as to
the direction they would take. but
1t IL pretty safe to shy that most of
them knew where at least there was
one good sized covey located. T..
Among the number who left the
city were s e. Belts, Jos. Buchanan,
&. A. Sprandel, John Wetzel, l.. ..
Vessel, Ed Tanner, II. Landau. M.
Parks and host Of ether whose
names we cannot recall. ......
From outside the city there were
also several parties. the largest be-
ing from st. Paul, and including DR..
Edden. Mr.. Swaggert and several
Others, who went. out with P. j.
Gross of this city. -.
About the mostnecessary thing to
a successful chicken hunt is to have
good dogs, to them il delegated the
work of finding the game. and In
that respect there was great supply.
There were Irish, Gordon ana Lew
ellyn settlers and pointers N all
kinds, with pedigrees that could he
traced across the Atlantic. These
animals. at least thosefrom this city.
were we'll groomed and in good
training, for their masters had often
taken them. ''just to give them a
run," as they explained to the game
warden, and they were as eager for
the fray az were their masters.
With this large crowd, fully
equipped with everything necessary,
it is certain that the slaughter will
be great, and when this weeks hunt is
over it will be hard to find covey
of chickens in the entire county that
has not been broken up and some Oi
the number gone.

I Chicken Notes.

There were not quite as many chick
ems killed in this vicinity ON the first
day Of the seasOnsasT was expected,
due to two reasons. It rained part
of the day, which shortened the
hunting time several hours. Then
this being an early season the chick
ems are all full grown and wild, and
harder to kill, and many of the
hunters found that their shells were
not loaded heavy enough for the
long distance which they had tn
shoot. Some Of them did vel v well,
however, the largest number reported
being killed by G. N. Lafond, H. Ian.
dahl and Nicholas Dunn. They got
fifty-seven.
D. Hatten and party were second
with fifty-fve, and Ed Tanner and
M. Parks third, with forty-sfght.
There were many other parties out,
but we did not learn what luck they
had. ..s5
Several hunters were detained ct
home yesterday for the reason that
scme.o one else had taken their dogs
There are quite a number OF hunters
in this vicinity who beast that they
would not take the trouble to keep
q dog when one can be secured easily
from some OF their neighbOrs. 1t must
be very exasperating to a person
who feeds and cares for dog about
fifty. one weeks in the year Tor the
privilege of using the animal the
other week. to then find that
some other person is enjoying the
use OF the animal for that week.
And there is no. way OF Furnishing
them, for a hunting dog Is liable to
follow any person with "a gun, and
those who use their neighbours dog
can excuse themselves with saying
that the dog followed them and
couldn't be driven hack.
* 1t is said that one of the local meat
markets had prairie chickens to sell
before breakfast Tuesday morning
/ That's enterprise for you.

b About the Clearing House.

The best illustration Of how millions
Of dollars worth of commercial TRANSACT
tionH can be conducted with the actual
transfer Of very little cash indeed is
probably to be seen in the operations Of
a clearing house in a great city. The
greatest part of it's work Of course con.
sists in the balancing. exchanging and
reconveying to their original senders
bank checks and other certificates Of in.
debtedness and readiness to pay.
' A. owes B. $1,000. A. does not carry
20 much money around with him as
general thing. So he gives B. check on
his bank for the money. 1t is not con.
venient for B. to go to A. g bank and COL
leot the money. he simply deposits the
check for 81 900 in his own bank, which
may be 100 miles distant from A. q
bank. B. g bank let's him have the ac-
tual money If he wants it, either all in
q lump or in installments. But B. y bank
sends A. g 81, 900 check to the clearing
house. There, where all the accounts Of
all the banks belonging to the clearing
house are squared up, A. g check is re-
ceived and sent back to A. g bank whence
1t started.
The check may not be cashed 30 soon,
however. 1t may be handed by B. over
to somebody to whom he in, turn owes
money and put by that person into his
particular bank. Sooner pr later, how
ever, it returns to the clearing house. A
few Of tho largest cities Of the Union
have clearing houses Of their own. Such
houses in the west send checks, certifi-
Gates, ETC.. to the clearing houses Of the
eastern cities and those of the enst re-
turn western accounts in like manner.
Before the clearing house methods
were adopted banks used to settle their
accounts with one another by sending
from one to another messengers loaded
with bags Of money and commercial pa
per. 1t was u clumsy and risky way Of
doing business, and now they simply
send their commercial paper either on
the debit or credit side to the clearing
house, where the accounts are rapidly
balanced between banks and each re-
ceives back its own paper. ~-s,
The largest clearing house in this
country is in New York, where paper
representing $3.50, 100000 sometimes
changes hands in single day, that, too,
with the exchange Of very little cash
money. Sixty-six hanks belong to the
New York Clearing House association,
and during the panic Of 1898 they nude
q compact that they would support one
another when an inconveniently large
demand WAS made Oh the deposits Of
any one of them. They did this by
means Of the issue of clearing house GER
tifcates.

CURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THE SUN.

Sun spots were first observed in tho year
1911.
Sun spots always truvel from enst to
west across tho sum disk.
Tho largest sun spot OH record was seen
in 1858. 1t was la3, 900 miles across.
A writer In Nature says that the tenn
peraturc Of tho suns surface cannot be less
than 5000 degrees +.
1t Is claimed that tho SUMS rays put out
fire by r,retying the air, causing 1t to flow
more slowly toward tho burning article.
In order that tho reader may make a
comparison, l will say that bessomcr
converter Is never heated above 1900 de-
grces.
Should tho earth be accidentally moved
to within IL distance Of $40, 900 miles of tho
sun, it would wholly dissolve and pass
away like vapor in less than I'm hour
Tho sun is over $50, 600 miles in diam
otter. The earth could be placed ON the in
side Of 1t, and the moon, 24O,U miles
away, could still revOlve around tho world,
both the earth and tho moon being on the
inside of tho great light giver.
Some astronomers, those who believe in
the "annular," or ring" theory of crea-
ton, believe that the earth and all the
planets were once part of the sun; that
tho earth Is ono of tho rings thrown off by
tho great luminary, and that tho earth in
turn threw off ring which became the
moon.-St. Louis Republic.

UNDER WHICH FLAG?

To the Worlds question: Under which
flag?-that of Revenue or Protection
the incoming Republican administration
will attempt to marshal its forces,
numerous replies have been made. They
cover the three degrees-Protection
More Protection. Most Protection.
1t is well to know the program.
The first and most pressing need of the
country is more revenue for the treas
ury. With heavy deficit running, the
credit of the government Is impaired
and every business interest is threat
ened.
There is no industry suffering legiti-
mately for more protection. Business is
reviving under the tariff as It is, which is
higher than any previous peace tar;:f in
our history with the single exception Of
McKinley's.
Nor is there any assurance that more
protection would bring more revenue.
The McKinleyites increased the duties
in 1890 avowedly to diminish surplus
revenues. 1t had that effect What
sense or logic is there in the claim that
increasing the duties now will have pre-
cisely the contrary effect?
Unless the Republican party has ut
terly lost its head it will not engage in
further tariff raising in the interest of
trusts and monopolies-New Tolk

years ago and has been under q doc

about the house. The X-ray revealed the
condition in this case very clearly and
showed fracture of the end of the shin

had been no union of the fractured
