SOUTH AND ITS MULES |!
THE SITUATION IN LOUISIANA
f. $. NIarchan Of Algiers, La, Tells
of British Purchases I'm
His State.

I e. 8. Marchand of Algiers, La, who was
in the twin cities yesterday, says there
is no truth in the story that British
camp exists in Louisiana. He admits that
men engaged in buying mules there are
probably officers in the British army, but
says there is nothing to prove that fact.
Each mule laid down at Cape Town, he
says, costs the English government about
$780, Said MI. Marchand:
1t is commonly believed that the men who
go over on the boats with the mules are in a
manner forced to enlist in the English army
and fight against the Beers. There are
great many mule packers in the south and
southwest who go to Africa on the ssupposi
ton that they will be employed with the
army pack trains, but understand that when
they arrive they are taken up into the in
terror and given the option Of taking a gun
and fighting or subssting on their own re-
sources. This practically amounts to the
compulsory recruiting, for the nature Of the
country and the conditions that prevail make
1t almost impossible for a man who is not
connected with either army to live.
The people of Louisiana as rule are
greatly opposed to the mule trade and are
anxious to have 1t stopped Governor Heard
is anxious to have the traffic stopped, and
think he Will do all in his power to accom-
plish this.
The neutrality laws are something that the
ordinary human being has very small con-
ception of, and while nearly everybody in the
south is opposed to allowing the British gov
eminent to purchase Its horses and mules il
the United States to help them fight the Beers
those who can definitely say whether thei1
dealings are violations Of the law are few.

THE ASTER, QUEEN OF
FLOWERS
Constantly Growing In Popularity
Now 'rhe Rage" Among Flower
Lovers.

The pendulum of popular favor swings
from one flower to another, just as fash
ions change. A few years ago pansies
were the public's favorite, and later sweet
peas have been in the lead. Now it is the
aster, and that with good reason. No
flower excels it In beauty and variety, no
Hover equals it in usefulness and lasting
qualities.
As a bedding plant the aster has no su-
perior. 1t stays long after other flowers
have bid us adieu, and only when the icy
breath Of winter has come down 1t folds
it's petals and gives up the ghost. 1t is an
ornament to the garden, and as a cut
flower 1t rivals the chrysanthemum in
beauty and diversity of color and form,
remaining fresh for days.
Asters are easily grown, are very hardy
and remain a favorite with flower lovers.
Northrup, King & Co., seedsmen. at %
Hennepin avenue, have for fifteen years
been developing a combination of seeds
which is known as their Imperial Mix
ture," and which is the standard Of many
who grow asters every season. A hand

vegetable seeds will be sent free. Write

IOWA LANDS MOVING
Farms Vacated by Homeseekers Be.
ing Rapidly Snapped Up
BY BUYERS FROM FARTHER EAST
II. N. Brockway Says That In Some
Counties Sales Aggregate
100000 Week.


II. N. Brockway of Garner, Iowa, says
that land sales in Iowa are the most
numerous and aggregate more money than
In any year in the history Of the state.
While many Of Iowas people are moving
into the northwest. their. places are being
taken by thousands Of others coming from
Illinois and Indiana. The transfers OF
farm lands in many Iowa counties now
aggregate 900 per week.
L came to Iowa in the latter ffties,"
said Mr.. Brockway, ''and it would have
been hard to believe then that Iowa land
would sell for $50 per acre in the life
time OF any of the men then in the state.
Much OF it is now going at $50 per acre,
and there are plenty Of buyers. Indiana
and Illinois people who realize that Iowa
Is the better state for the farmer are
adding to their holdings knowing that
Iowa farms will equal in price some day
the best land in any part Of the country.
In ten years l expect to see Iowa land
one-third higher in price than now.
Many of the Iowa farmers now SELL
ing out are going into the southwest, but
the northwest is getting the majority.
Land sales are making some big weekly
totals. l live in Hancock county, where
the sales for one week reported in the
local papers amount to 81 900. OOO,''

MEMORIAL DAY IN SCHOOL
Suggestions for Its observance From
&. A. r.. Headquarters.


Special Aid George r. Lewis, in charge
of military instruction and patriotic edu-
cation in the public schools at the request
OF hts COMMUNICATIVE chief, Ell Torrance,
OF the Grand Army of the Republic, has
issued SUGGESTIONS for Memorial Day OBJ
servance in the schools. He says: the
communicative chief of the G. A. r. de-
sires that fitting exercises take place at
each Of the schools in our county on the
Friday preceding Memorial Day. In con-
meet ion with other exercises a salute to
the flag is recommended which is as fol-
lows The right hand uplifted, palm up
ward. to a line with the forehead close
to it. While thus standing with palm
upward and in the attitude of salute all
the pupils repeat together slowly and
distinctly the following pledge: II pledge
allegiance to my flag and to the republic
for which it stands. One nation indiys-
BILE with liberty and justice for ALL" At
the words as pronounced in this pledge
ito my flag" each one extends the right
hand gracefully palm upward toward the
flag until the end of the pledge Then
all hands drop to the side The pupils
still standing all sing together in unison
the song, America, My Country rs of
Thee In the primary department where
children are very small they are taught
to repeat this. instead Of the pledge as
given for the older children Il give
my hand, my head and my heart to my
country. one people, one flag" In some
schools the salute is given in silence, as
an act of reverence, unaccompanied by
any pledge.
School boards throughout the county
are requested to procure a suitable flag
for each of their schools and thus dis
charge patriotic and important duty,
Comrades Of the Grand Army are re-
quested to assist by their presence. and
IN making addresses to schools on the
day designated for patriotic exercises.

Menominee, Mich, April THE Wisconsin

share of the ore carrying business of the
Menominee iron range. It has expended a
large sum in practically rebuilding it's pres
tent line, and this summer will extend from
Faithorn through to Norway, part Of the
route for: which is already graded. Two
monster ferry boats, each with capacity OF
ffty-four ore cars each, are to be constructed
to run between Peshtigo and South Chicago
At the latter place, the ore will be turned
mated that ore can be laid down at the Lake

WONG GUY GOES TO LAW
THE BOYCOTT SEEMS TO PINCH
He Petitions for an Injunction
Against the Local Cooks
Union.

The courts Will be asked to take hand
in the fight between the cooks union and
the Chinese restaurants. Through his
attorney, H. P. Roberts, Wong Guy, pro-
prietor of the w. Y. restaurant, So Wash
ington avenue S, this afternoon applied
Tor an injunction in the United States
circuit court, against the cooks union,
under an order to show cause why the
union should not be restrained from in
terfering with Wong Guys business.
Proprietors of other Chinese restaur-
ants, whose places are also being boy
cotted, Will await the result of Wong
Guys application before taking action
themselves.
The way these few Cinnamon, who are
endeavoring to make an honest living in
Minneapolis have been treated is an out
rage" said Mr.. Roberts, land it is high
time thatsit should be stopped. The at
tack on the proprietors of these restaur-
ants, to begin with, is entirely uncalled
for. They have really bettered conditions
of employment, so far as the cooks union
is concerned. In every case where they
have taken hold of rundown restaurant,
which had no patronage to speak of they
have built up a good business and have
made such eating houses SO clean and at
tractive as to draw customers who had
never thought Of eating there before
NOW, instead OF importing CnlHeSe neip
except in the case of cooks, as has been
charged, they have continued to employ
white walters and clerks. One reason
why they employ Chinese cooks is because
most Of them have a limited command OF
English and their relations with the
cooks are necessarily close. There is an:
other reason. Only Chinese cooks car
make chop suey and other Chinese dishes
for which there is constant CALL
The cooks union has thus far succeeded
in convincing ice dealers, butchers ant
other dealers to stop taking orders from
the Chinese restaurants. Officers of the
union insist that they are clearly within
their legal rights in what has been done
