carefully and select the largest and
oest ears for seed, and to cut off tbe

The Duluth Herald is more than half

Although the house has passed an
anti-bucket shop bill, those opposed to
the operation of these houses in the
small cities and villages seem to prefer
the measure introduced by Senator
Ward, which allows municipalities to
exclude bucket shops. The latter has
ArOnSR0 a Str
house BILL which is. proof conclusive
that the Ward measure will prove the
more effective. The senate favors its
own measure and should this bill be-
come law the bucket shops will ship
their 'tickers" and get out-AIeX-

The legislative investigation of the
timber thieves will be Whitewash, as
so many expected. but the fact re-
mains that the law has been grossly
violated in these settlements and the
Whitewash cannot be spread on thick
enough to cover the work up. Such
proceedings assist in bringing legisla-
lures into disrepute with the average
citizen, and it is no wonder-Albert
Lea Tribune.

champagne for the purpose il should
be used, but a big battleShip, d great

seems like a top heavy combination.
