In the production of barley Iowa is
exceeded only by Minnesota. Mime
sofa in 1902 had in cultivation GOT ,561
acres of barley, Iowa 513,499 acres,
North Dakota 01,94S acres, and Wis
consin 42S,2SS acres. Iowa also shows
up very well with her hay crop. New
York is the great hay state and in
1902 produced 6,71S,743 TONS Iowa is
a comparatively close second with
5,211, 232 tons and next comes Illinois,
which is over 100000 tons behind
with a total of 4,121,054 tons. The
best thing about New York's big crop
was that Etfe price per ton was $10.53
while the price in, Iowa is. given as
only $3.50. Iowa is one OF only -four
teen states from which any statistics
on faxseed culture are given and it
stands fifth in the list. North Dakota

TWO YEARS EXPERIENCE
ASKED OF APPLICANTS
Rule Is Made for Candidates for High
School Positions.

Residents of st. Paul who desire to
teach in the high schools of this city will
not be required to leave home to qualify
have been the case had the school board
adopted the amendment to its rules pro-
posed at the regular meeting Of last
month.
The proposed new rule was materially
amended as to that particular point be-
fore it's adoption by the board yesterday
afternoon. Instead of demanding that an
applicant shall have had two years of
successful experience as a high school
teacher. it will merely require two years
of successful teaching experience.
Before the meeting of the board the
members sat for some time in executive
session as the committee on schools, and
it was in committee that the proposed
rule was amended.
The rule as it has been adopted provides
as teacher in a high school must be a
graduate of an approved college or uni
versity, must have a first-class state pro-
fesSional certificate and must take an
examination to demonstrate proficiency in
the special subject to be taught.
For appointment to position in one
of the grade schools the new rule will
require that the candidate shall have had
professional training or two years sue
cessful teaching experience. Those who
are not college graduates will be required
to take examinations for such positions.
The rule provides that graduates OF
the teachers training school of this city
need not take examinations for positions
and that all other things being equal
they shall be given the preference over
other applicants.

PUTS A PUZZLE
TO STATES ATTORNEY
Worthington Man Wants Damages for
Loss of Mustache.

1t is now UP to the state legal depart
ment to determine what Is the legal pen.
atty for divesting a man of his hirsute
adornment. Not long since the supreme
court affirmed the district court of Polk
county in awarding damages of $500 to a
resident of East Grand Forks whose
beard had been partially pulled out by
the roots. Now a resident of Worthing-
ton has written to the attorney general to
inquire what penalty can be enforced
against a man who has cut off one wing
of complainantss sixteen-inch mustache.
No rule of measurement was applied in
the case of the Polk county man, and,
as the method of removal was also diff
ferent, it can hardly be considered that
this is a case in point.
The letter from Worthington has not
yet been answered, and Assistant Attorney
General Donahower is still carefully
studying the recent supreme court de-
cision and the general statutes. The let
ter reads:
'.Mr. W. B. Douglas, st. Paul, Mimi
Dear Sir: Please inform me what the
penalty is for man who will coldly and
deliberately steal up from behind and cut
off half of mans mustache? l had one

the injury of Langevin and two or
three other members of the crew.
Langevin brought suit for $4,000 dam
ages, and the case was on trial before

DEFINES The LAW
Children Must Attend School
at Least Twelve Weeks.

Some difficulty has been found by
the school authorities Of Minneapolis
in agreeing upon the legal require
ments as to school attendance on the
part of children between the ages Of
eight and sixteen years.
The question raised in Minneapolis
is whether the requirement in the old
law that a child must attend school
for at least twelve weeks still stands
or whether the entire law is super
seeded by the later enactments In an
opinion furnished to the state depart
ment of public instruction yesterday,
Assistant Attorney General Donahower
says:
"Inasmuch as there is no repeating
clause in the acts of 1899 and 1901, only
those provisions of the sections of the
general statutes above referred to
which are in conflict with the subse-
quent legislation of 1899 and 1901 or
which are substantially re-enacted in
the later. acts, are superseded as re-
pealed by such later acts. 1t appears
that it was the intention of the legisla-
ture in the act of 1899 to. treat in it's
entirety the subject matter comprised
In the legislation contained in the gen.
eral statutes; but as stated before if
tllCIS 10 ally pIONlSlOii III Tic lCSloici-
ton containedain the general statutes,
that is not in conflict with the subse-
quent legislation or is not, re-enacted
then the same must be considered in
force
In the enforcement of the compul-
sorry education laws it has been the
policy of the st. Paul school depart
ment to require in all cases that a
child should have attended school
for twelve weeks before he could re-
ceive permit to work. Superintend-
ent Smith said last evening to T h e
Globe:
I'VE have made it a practice to
count night school attendance as salts
flying the requirements of the law, but
in all cases we have refused to issue
certificates except the pupil has at
tended school for twelve weeks. I am
satisfied that We have reduced child
labor to a minimum in this city-that
is, that there are no children working
who are not really obliged to do so by
reason of the circumstances of their
families

Although there are still number Of
members of Garfield Post No. s, G. A.
R., who are determined to stand by
their action of Saturday night in re-
fusing to participate in the unwilling
ceremonies of the soldiers monument
tomorrow afternoon, the majority are
expected to vote this evening at a
special meeting to rescind their action.
Harrison Sloggy, commander, and
other prominent members of the post.
have been using their best efforts dur
ing the past two days to pacify the in
surgents, and have generally met with
success. There is much personal feel
ing in Garfield post against J. j. Nc
Cardy, because of many things which
they state he has formerly done, but
themselves, it is stated, as in favor Of
laying aside personal feelings and join
ing in the dedication.
Col. c. A. Van Duzee yesterday is
sued orders to Company e, of the
Third regiment of Minnesota National
Guard, to appear in the parade, and
Maj. c. T. Spear is making energetic
efforts to secure a good representation
of the three st. Paul companies of the
First regiment. All will probably be in
line, he states
Maj. George c. Lambert stated yes
terday that it would be difficult to get
out the engineers company or Battery
A, as neither company meets until aft
the unwilling ceremonies, and probably
will not appear in parade.
Mr.. McCardy has received word from
several of the past commanders of the
state that they will be present to carry

If they attend they will be in command
of the present commander, Isaac L..
