The rumors that the Osnabrock and
Milton papers. the Independent and
the Globe, are for sale is given substan-
tial confirmation by advertisements to
that effect in two of the trade journals.
Each sheet has been accorded excellent
patronage by the business men of the
town in which it is located and the rea-
son for the withdrawal from the field Of
journalism is the demands made upon
their time and attention by other in
terests. 1t goes without saying that
neither town will long be without it's
weekly newspaper.

The question of grain inspection will
probably come before the next session
of the legislature. A commission was
appointed in the legislature four years
ago to look into complaints against the
Minnesota system of inspection and an
agreement was reached which it was
thought would reduce the grounds for
complaint but it does not seem to have
been effective.
