most important to have the line To-

History will smile hereafter at the
decision of the supreme court of
Tennessee, which decides that women
cannot practice law in that state. The
logic of the decision is that lawyers
are officers of the court and the con-

tomology at the stats college of agri-
culture at St. Anthony Park, and is
now at work in the Red River valley
discriminating grasshoppers, having
taken up the work where Prof. Lugger
left it at his death. According to a
letter received by Dean Liggett, of the
agricultural college, from Prof. Forbes
grasshoppers are infesting that part of
the state in large numbers. The work
OF discriminating the pests with the
famous chopper dosers," the method
used by Prof. Lugger, is being success
fully carried out and will lessen the
bad results this year. 1t is feared that

oughly plowed this fall there will be
great destruction of crops in the north
