the ordinary rules of health. Rugs.
and floors finished in paint, varnish,
stain, or wax are cleaner and much
more easily kept clean. Rugs and
finished floors are cooler in summer
and more dressy all the year around.
Rugs and finished floors are more
decorative; they give life to room.
Rugs and finished floors permit of
frequent changes in the appearance
OF room; different style of floor
finish makes a room look new
different.
A remarkable feature of this
change in style is the various ways
in which floor can be finished.
Paint and varnish manufactures
have studied this subject to such
good purpose that most any floor,
no matter whether old or knew,
painted or implanted, made of soft
or hard wood, can be treated and
finished in some one of the modern
styles. These floor finishes, in
GLIDING paint, varnishes, stains and
wax are put on the market in ready
to use" form, and in most instances
can be applied easily by the women
of the house.
A local paint dealer who handles
the floor finishes of one of the larg-
est paint and varnish makers in the
country, stated recently that the
finish of floors received most atten-
ton during the fall months when
houses are being fixed up" for the
long winter months. In conse-
quence of this he has stocked up
and prepared for busy fall trade
in floor finishes.
Together with the advance in the
use of paint for indoor decoration
during the autumn months, it is in
teresting to note how fall painting
has increased during the last few
years. The fall is generally recog-
nized now as a splendid time for
painting buildings. The settled
condition of the weathe. and free
dom from the winged insects which
cause SO much trouble in the spring
by sticking to the freshly painted
surfaces, have induced many prop
erty owners to do fall painting.

FLOOR STYLES CHANGE.
Rugs and Finished Floors Replace Car
pets of Our Grandma'S Days.

How styles change. What would
our grandmothers have thought of
not having the ''parlor and spare
bedroom" carpeted. How great a
shock to the proprieties.
Yet the women of to-day would
suffer equally from the consciousness
of being old fashioned if the floors of
the drawing room and "blue-
room were not covered with rugs
and finished in the style of floor
finish, whether paint, varnish or
stain, that harmonizes with the dec
orations of the rooms.
This radical change in style, how
ever, is far more than a within OF
fashion. 1t has come about gradu-
ally, influenced by the laws OF
health and hygiene.
The dirty, dusty, germ collecting
carpet was doomed to go as soon as
people generally gave attention to

The crop this season will be un-
even and varying. OF that there is
no doubt. Wheat got late start,
and as the season has been cool and
wet the yield and quality will vary
in localities, depending upon the
character of the soil and the expos
ure. The best wheat will be found
on the high lands, even though the
soil be sandy, while the low lands,
like the Red River valley, where
the crops are generally the heavi-
est, will this year furnish the poor
est. There are localities where the
stand of wheat gave early promise
of a bumper crop, but drilling
rains fell, with no accompanying
wind to blow the rain from the
straw, and the straw became aff1ict-
ed with rust. There are localities
where no wheat will be harvested
on this account. There are other
localities where the crop is blight
ed, and still others where the ground
was too wet and cold for the seed to
grow. But on some OF the upland
to the northward the yield will be
up to the average or nearly so, de-
pending upon the weather condi-
tions. Taken as whole, the north
western wheat crop, considering
that it is three weeks late, will be
considerably below the average in
both quality and quantity.

Hon. J. F. Jacobson, chairman of
the state board of control, recently
justified the reputation he has for
years enjoyed as man of good,
hard sense. At meeting of the
heads of the different state institu-
tons and the members of the board
Of control measure was proposed,
and earnestly urged, to pension the
employees of the state institutions at
a certain age. Mr.. jacobson led
the opposition to this movement in
his well-known vigorous fashion.
His voice scared up to high pitch
it used to acquire in his legislative
debates, and his gestures were
such as to make his effort athletic as
we'll as argumentive. And when
he got through, the pensioning
scheme was stone dead. There Is
not one good reason why employees
of state institutions should be pen
stoned, for they know what their
duties and salaries are before they
accept state positions. Jake was
on the right side, as he most always
is.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. /

There have been all sorts of re-
ports during the last few days con-
corning the coming wheat crop OF
the Northwest, and prices have
gone up and down accordingly.
While there are men, crop experts,
who scour the country during the
few weeks preceding every har-
vest ia order to get line on the
coming crop, nearly every report
sent out is a manipulated report,
and the object is to bull or bear the
market, as the interest OF the manip-
ulator may appear. Immense sums
of money are made through market
fluctuations at this season of the
year by people who are in posi-
ton to originate or publish rumors
concerning crop conditions. Every
year we hear and read reports of
rust and no rust, blight and no
blight, damage by hail and no dam
age, all coming from the same local
ity.

AmeS Files as a Candidate for Con-

Sioning State Employees Minneapolis

Negroes, HungarlanS. BOhemlans
Italians and Greeks. These people
all mix and jostle without the least
appearance of friction or race preju-
dice, and all thoroughly enjoy them
selves. Incidentally, if the mem
bers of the park boards are present
on these occasions to note the pleas
ure which the great throngs OIL
working people derive from the
parks they must feel amply reward
ed for their efforts in maintaining,
free for every one, the magnificent
park system of the twin cities.
A fresh illustration of the humane
tendencies of the present century is
furnished by the city Of Minneapo-
lis in its scheme to furnish home
for people with incurable diseases.
City hospitals do not desire "chron-
les " or s'incurables, and these are
often turned adrift to make room for
others who are suffering from trou-
bles which yield to treatment. w.
Il. Dunwoody, Minneapolis mil
lionaire, has donated an acceptable
site for a home for this afflicted
class, and the city council is taking
measures to erect a building suit
able to their needs. The plan will
be similar to that of the state in
providing a hospital for consump-
tives. There is this difference;
those who go to the state hospital
to be treated for consumption will
hope to go away cured, while those
who go to the Minneapolis home
for incurables will go for all time.
Those able to pay will be charged a
moderate fee, while others will be
accepted free.
DR.. Ames of Minneapolis has fled
as candidate for Congress in the
Fifth district, at the primary cleo
ton. In so doing the genial doctor
has done his part toward the sub
sanitation of the old saw that
there's no fool like an old fool. =
There are lot OF people in Mime
apolis, several thousand of them,
who stick to Doc. Ames like a flea
to dog. They would vote for him
for congress at the primaries even
though he were cavorting around
with a striped suit inside the walls
of Saltwater prison. There are
some who vote for him every year,
from habit, whether he's running
for anything or not. The doctor
can count on all these; but he makes
sad mistake when he assumes that
all who, through sympathy, hoped
he would not be sent to prison, will
support him in his insane desire to
break into congress. The. doctor is
