Advertising Minnesota.

It is well that dealers in Minnesota
farming lands are awakened to the ben
efts that are to be derived from an ag-
gressive, systematic and persistent
campaign Of advertising. Dwellers with
in the state do not have to be Informed
of it's superior advantages and opportuni-
ties, but the states south and west are
sending great tide Of homeseekers
every year to the northwest. In their
craze for cheap land they are focking to
the farthest limits, and passing right
thru the fertile farming districts of
Minnesota. They seldom realize the
vast extent of good farming land still
to be had in Minnesota for reasonable
prices. They look on Minnesota as a
comparatively old state, without realiz-
ing the great extent of northern and
western territory that is still but
sparsely settled.
The land men are busy telling the
story of Minnesota to willing ears, and
diverting part of the great westward

Still in the Age Of Blood.

Perhaps the time is coming when the
twar drums will throb no more and
dry-voiced lawyers instead of strutt1ng
warriors will attend to the contentious

But perhaps that happy time is some
centuries off yet.
For instance, here is England ready to

A Local Combine.

Dunn and Haynes have pooled their
issues in Minneapolis.
Unmistakable evidence goes to show
that the Dunn people and the Haynes
campaign managers have hooked up to-
gether for the purpose Of controlling
the situation in this city.
The hope is that by such combina-
ton Dunn may gain in the democratic
sections-the first ward, the sixth and
portion of the third-while Haynes
is supposed to profit thru this combi-
nation in republican sections, and, both
pulling together, in the downtown por-
lions of the fourth and fifth.
The evidence of this combination is
not all found in the editorial columns
of the Tribune. There is other corrob-
orative detail. Just how effective a
combination Of this kind may be, it is
difficult to estimate, and information
as to the situation is not given out on
the theory that public knowledge Of il
will certainly influence the result ma.

The Bulge in the Stock Market.

Stocks opened up stronger than ever
this morning, and the early advices are
of big business on the New York ex-
change. The war incident served only
to throw back prices temporarily, and
since the scare subsidized new high prices
have been made.
1t is useless to urge conservatism at q
time when the public is in the market,
but it is to be noted that some Of the
best authorities in the financial world,
our own j. j. Hill for one, are advising
caution.
No one doubts that many stocks have
been below their intrinsic worth, and
that Is to 20 point rise was justifa-

. higher.
II there was such thing as modera-
zion in bull stock market, it might be
expected to show itself now, but OF the
contrary the market Is gaining strength
ut every new advance, and much higher
prices are predicted. The end must
come some time. The hope is that it

hurt anyone. ,.A< -,

is thinking about it. and the time to
reach him is when he is receptive. The
fall movement westward is about over,
and it is now time to prepare the ground
and SOW the seed for the next harvest,

This missionary work is Of untold
benefit to every business interest In
Minnesota, and to the farmers as we'll.
The inward movement of new settlers Is
an unmixed good. The more people
there are looking for land, the higher
price the land will bring. The more
people settle within the state borders
the better the distributing trade. Moth

Anomalous Wheat Situation.

Following the announcements Of the
bonding of local plants and the i'm
portation of Canadian wheat by Min
neapolis millers, comes the report that
q miller at Richmond, Va, is planning
to grind Russian wheat to be shipped
direct from the Black sea. Of all de-
velopments illustrating the extraor-
binary American wheat supply situa-
ton, this is the most striking. Cana
dian wheat could ordinarily come to
American mills almost as cheaply as
to Canadian markets, the tariff being
the one great consideration. But Rus
sian wheat must pay duty as we'll and
must come thousands of miles by sea.
Nevertheless, when American No. 2 red
winter wheat was quoted recently at
$l26@1.3O at the seaboard, Russian
wheat could be bought to cost $l.05
c. i. f. Newport News. With the 25-
cent tariff added the two would be
| about on parity as to price, with high
quality and a 63-lb test throwing the
advantage to the Russian product.
Meanwhile receipts in the northwest
continue to run in excess Of year ago,
and for this week elevator stocks at
Minneapolis increased by approximate
lv 100000 bushels, while the Duluth
stora lighthouses gained 100000 bushels.
Here, then, is an apparently, absurd
proposition-wheat accommodating IN
American primary storage, and Amerl'
can millers figuring with Winnipeg and
Odessa for supplies
The nub of it all is in the quality.
Not only did America lose portion
Of her last crop, but Of the wheat thai
was turned out small percentage only

Social Betterment.

The Trades and Labor Assembly are
arranging for series Of what might De
called educational conferences. They
want the Commercial club, the Retail
Merchants association, the Minister'S
association, and any other organizations
interested in the betterment OF social
conditions and the encouragement OF
that community Of interest which ought
to exist between employer and en-
ployee, the worker and his patron, to
hello in making these conferences sue
cess.
The first meeting will be held the
22d of November. Organized LABOR
will have a. speaker at that meeting, a
prominent trade unionist of st. Paul,
and invitations will be sent to various
employers organizations and social pet
torment and religious societies and
hearty response is hoped for.
