The Poultry FAIR.

Farmers of the state who wish to in
crease their annual income to an ap-
priciable extent and in comparative
ly easy way will learn MUCK of value
in attending the annual meeting and
exhibit of the Minnesota Poultry as
ISOLATION at Minneapolis, January
% to February3. @..
Figures of the income from poultry
published by such states as Missouri
and Iowa show that rich field is
open to those who will engage in the
poultry and egg business.
1t is expected that this will be the
largest meeting and exhibit ever held
by the Minnesota organization. Wis
itors on the second day of the meeting
will be given an opportunity seldom
equaled to see the champion harness
horse of the world, Dan Patch, now
owned by M. w. Savage of Mime
apolis, at the open winter horse show
to be given by the Minneapolis Riding
and Driving club ON Park Avenue,
one of the beautiful streets of the city.
An interesting feature of the,exhibit
will be gathering of the finest cats
in the state. One hundred pussies of
all varieties to be found on.the face of
the earth will join the hens, turkeys
and pigeons in giving a good time.
Cats bred in Egypt will neighbor with
the beautiful Angora and the high
bred Maltese. Some of the individual
cats cost over hundred dollars each.
Fifteen hundred chickens, ducks,
turkeys and geese will be on exhibition.
Some of these aristocratic animals
are woth s75 apiece
To those who have never seen. a.
homing pigeon the daily release of
fifty of the racers will be exciting.
They will fiv for prizes. Some of the
pigeons have already won 1000 mile
races. The pigeon ehxibit will be the
largest ever made in the northwest.
The money involved can be appreciat-
ID when it is known that many of
bese little creatures are worth in
heir own right $50 each.
The railroads In granting low rates
lave helped on the cause. In Mime
ota fare and one third is granted,
llso from all Wisconsin towns which
re not over fifty miles from the Twin
Titles. Those who wish to make en-
ries may write George A. 9th, box

by the volume of discussion still
going on. DR.. Babcock is in the

Our good friend Macdonald oil

thing he does better than fighting,
and he cares little as to the volume

He was good union soldier, and

MlNNETTE'S BILL.

MINNIE les BILL.
Hon. Frank E. Minnette intro.
duced a bill providing for foul
years term for the house of repre-.
sentatives, biennial sessions, one
long session and a short ene limit.
ed to thirty days. The measure,
as suggested last week, has merit,
but it is a question whether the
people desire to extend the term OF
office of representation to four
years. Prehaps two years term
with annual sessions would be
more satisfactory. Although re-
commended for indefinite post
ponal, Mr.. Minnette believes it
possible to get the bill before the
house to be considered on its mer.
its. The Minneapolis Tribune
says of the bill:
Representative Minnette's bill pro-
viding for four year terms in the lower
house of the state legislature and for
sessions of ninety days and thirty
days alternately, has been recon-
mended for, indefinite postponement
by the house committee on judiciary
and the attempt of the new member to
save the state something like 500. 600
year will not meet with success.
The bill, which was one of the first
introduced in the house, provided that
beginning with the last election, the
members elected to the house should
serve four years instead of two, and
/, that on every other meeting of the
legislature the session should not be
prolonged over thirty days.
1t was Mr.. Minnette's idea that the
passing of such bill would not only
save the expense of electing a new
house every two years, but would, on
account of the experience gained by
new members in their first session, so
facilitate business in the second as to |
enable the body to transact its bust
ness and get away in thirty days, thus
aft 2cting another saving TO the state.
The bill was referred to the sub
committee on constitutional law, but
before that committee could report
that it considered the bill constitu-
tional, the whole committee On judi
ciary had decided by unanimous
vote that the bill would not do, and
the Minnette bill was recommended
for indefinite postponement, which
is one way of killing bill.
Mr.. Minnette's bill was the subject
of discussion at luncheon given the
members of the Hennepin delegation
by Adolph E. L. Johnson at the Wind
sor hotel and at that time the intro
duction of bill allowing members of
the legislature 80 instead of S. day ]
during the session was also discussed. 1
"A member should get more than {
S. day." suggested Harrison E.
Fryberger.
s'If he is conscientious he spends |
the time he should on the business of I
the session he should get $40 day." i
was Arthur L. Heliwells opinion.
81 dare you to introduce a bill al G
lowing members $1,000 session."
said Fryberger to George Armstrong. {
81 dare introduced such BILL" 8
replied the gentleman from the Forty t
fourth. q
But S. S. Smith introduced such a {
bill once and it fell by the wayside
and it is hardly probable that Sec '
ond attempt will be made by a Hem
aepin county man, although Arm a
strong said, "This legislative bust t
ness may look easy to you at first, but a
tell you that before the session is {
over you will be more tired than you t
nave ever been in your life."

time to the satisfaction of all concern
ed. There may be some of our mem
bers who have had little bit of in

jumped at conclusions and predicted
that the Supreme Lodge had legislated
to eject certain classes from the order.
Such is not the case; all classes in

careful study of the Supreme Masters
