| Must Have Our Butter.
The state dairy and food department
has received information that large
Eastern butter dealers are negotiating
for the butter of Minnesota creameries.
A representative of Brooklyn firm in
visit at the Office of the department in
in competition with Minnesota butter
in the Eastern markets and has decid.
ed that to keep it's trade it must handle
the Minnesota product.
The firm authorized the representa-.
tive to pay at least cent pound more
than the market price for all the butter
he could buy. The representative left
on visit to the principal creameries of
the state with the intention of buying
up the visible supply. The agent
said that the firm had never before
bought any butter in the West, but
that it intended hereafter to make
Minnesota it's principal market.
| B. D. White, creamery expert of the
state dairy anu food commission, at
tributes Minnesota's reputation for
producing the best butter in the coun'
try to the excellence of Minnesota but
makers, to the cooperative creamery
| system, and to the fact that most pa.
irons carry milk fresh to the creamery
! and let the buttermrkers skim and RI
pen it, instead of skimming and ripen.

Seemingly Wrongful.
The annual meeting of the state
normal school board, held at the CAPT.
.stol developed some interesting educa-
tional discussion. The presidents of
the five schools presented reports, all
of which were full of meat. The last
one, by President Millspaugh of Wi
mona, called attention to the state law
which discriminates against grad
uates of the normal schools. 1t pro-
vides that principals. of graded and
semi-graded schools must be grad
yates of the advanced course in the
normal schools, or must hold a pro-
fessional or first grade certificate.
The high school graduate who goes
right to teaching can get first grade
certificate in year, but the graduate
of an elementary course in normal
school, which takes much longer,
must pass rigid examination and
take a year of teaching before being
eligible.
A Panic.
Fifteen persons in the audience at
tending the performance in the Ly-
ceum theatre at Duluth of Zig Tag
Alley" were painfully injured by the
explosion in a scuttle of coal of a
blank cartridge, used in the second
act of the comedy to simulate the
blowing up of safe.
AS others in the audience saw the
cut and bleeding faces and forms of
those hurt panic seized them and a
general stampede for the doors was
narrowly averted by the presence of
mind of few.
News Notes.

elected representative for the twenty
seventh district in 1902 on the dem
ocratic ticket. He was engaged III

1t looks as if Little Falls will soon
have free delivery. Inspector Noile
stated he would recommend larger
quarters for the postoffice, as the pre-
sent building is too small to accom-
modate the additional employees and
the fixtures required in free de-
livery office. The earnings of the of
flee entitle Little Falls to free de-
livery.
