where We were fifteen years ago. The
standard of Minnesota creamery made
butter, which has been elevated to the
top rank, will have to be abandoned
as every farmer will have to sell his
butter as best he can, instead of taking
fixed price and ready cash. The bill is
the salvation of the Minnesota cream
cry. There are many Of them now that
have hard time to get along. If they
have to sell a fine creamery butter
product in competition with this reno
waited butter, they will not be able to
keep up with the race.
1.-THE renovated butter is as pleas
ant to the sense of smell as the pure
creamery butter, but the taste can not
be fully disguised, to the tongue Of the
expert, at least The rancid quality
remains there, and however much it
may be disguised to the palate, there
can be no question that it's components
have to be resisted by the digestive or
gans.
There are a number of factories in
this state making this new process
butter, as they seek to call it. The
largest. perhaps, is that Of the Mime
apolis Cold Storage company. Then
there is Morse's factory at Granite
Falls, the Fitzsimmons Creamery COM
pany at Duluth. and the Crescent
L
manufactures a very little Of the prod
suct.
There was a time when Minnesota
cheese commanded the markets of the
world. 1t was a standard full cream
cheese, recognized the world over al
most, but interruptions dealers came
in and exported filled cheeses, without
SO labelling. AS result the foreign
buyer became wary and the Mime
sofa cheese went begging, so far as
the export trade was concerned.
IF these process butter people are
allowed to go their way it will not be
long before creamery butter finds the
same fate in the export market Then
every farmer will have to sell his own
butter to -, his nearest F-or most con-
venient merchant, the standard of Min
nesota butter grades will have disap-
peared, and all the work that has been
done in this state in behalf of the
creameries will have been wasted.
The dealers in real creamery butter
have no objection to the sale of this
renovated butter if it is so labelled
But process butter does not mean
anything, to the ordinary buyer at re-
tail.
mo protection would be afforded to
the real creamery product by such a
marking"

PINE MAGNATES KICK
Do NOT WANT TO EDUCATE THE
CHILDREN IN THE
FOREs1Sh
WETHERN BILL'.PROvISIONs
They Would Cut asisConsiderabIe
Item of Expense on the Burdens
of the Pine Barons.---Districts for
School Purposes Might BE Hum
dred Miles Long and Six Inches
Wide.

Something of a breeze was caused in
the senate yesterday by the debate
over the house bill introduced by Mr..
Wethern Popo, of Beatrami. which
changes the law concerning the organ
ization Of school districts in this state.
The title is misleading in that it gives
first place and prominence to the or
ganlzatiOn of unorganiZed counties, but
as there are no longer any unOrganized
counties in the state since the passage
Of the law of 1897 this is clearly formal.
When the original bill was passed it
was bitterly. opposed by the lumber
men. Who saw in the organization of
school districts in the rapidly settling
counties of the North a probable in
crease of taxation. They made hard
fight to have limitation placed on the
organization of districts SO as to keep
the number of districts down, but the
members from the northern part of
the state were clamorous and the
bill was passed finally with the pro-
vision that no district shall be organ
lied unless it contain twenty children
of school age, nor shall it consist of
more than twelve sections or be over
four miles wide or long.
The Wethern bill strikes out entirely
the limitation as to the dimensions Of
the district and cuts down the reQuir-
ed number of school children to twelve.
Naturally the holdings of these lum-
Der companies are in the more thickly
populated parts of the counties, on the
same principle that little Johnny OBJ
served curiously that all the large
cities were near the big rivers or the
ocean.
1t is these lumber woods that make
the Beltrami county towns. Few of
them have yet reached the magnitude
where they require more than one
school house. AS a result the removal
of the limitation on the dimensions Of
the rural district distributes the cost
of supporting the same over a larger
area. and incidentally reduces the
number of districts to maintain. AS
the lumber companies are the heaviest
owners of value in that region they are
especially Interested in the new bill.

We want this to reach the eyes of every
reader of this PAPER. Mr.. H. L. Trundle,
Dixie, Ark, is eightytwo years Of age, as
hale and hearty a man of his age as can be
found IN the State Of Arkansas; in fact, he
looks as young as a man of sixty years.
For more than fifteen years Mr. Trundle was
a Save to Drostatic disease. You men who
are afflicted know what 1t means-the days
of unrest. the lights of torture ard uneasi-
ness, the pain, the frequent calls to pass
water and the inability to do so. He could
scarcely get about the house, feeble, trembling
and racked with pain from head to foot.
In this condition he read the startling an
nouncement in his paper that a marvellous
new method for curing prostate disease
had been discovered. He wrote to the address
given for full particulars. and at once oh
tanned the remedy; in less than ten days
more he had the satisfaction of experiencing
relief. His case was chronic Geep-seated
and the chances of recovery on account of
his age were against him. Yet sixty DAYS of
continuous use OF the famous Solyent-Alterans
method cured him. -"

same experience If YOU do what Mr. Trundle
did; he used Solvent-Alterans, a new-method

From the Buffalo Express.
Otto Gilbert a round-headed, hard-faced
marine fireman, who would rather have
his nerve than the best mind in the world,
went to the Fitch Hospital yesterday aft
eruoon. After surveying the waiting
rooms, scrutinizing the surgeons and
nurses and peering into the operating
room, he spoke:
IF dere's any o you wild time on yer

The surgeons guided Gilbert into the
operating room. and one of them took a
bandage from the fireman's head and look
ed at the cut Ii was as deep as it could
be and extended about three inches along
his brow, over the left eye.
How'd YOU get this?" he was asked.
'If me memrys right, a guy hit me

The cut was washed and the stitching

The surgeons smiled, knowing well thar

pany the sewing up of the injury. Gilbert
looked disguised.
