The Salvation Army, melted by this cry,
opened number of food kitchens in the

attended by tenement children, and the
Board of Education, on the recommendation
of the charitable societies, attempted to
ascertain for itself how many children
habitually went to school without break

sums the result up in these words;
I'm spite of the wide advertising given
10 the food station through the daily press

for the free breakfasts, and the inquiry by
the Board of Education likewise failed TO
disclose any large number of breakfastless

ROUND ABOUT NEW YORK.
RippIes on the Current of Life In
the Metropolis.

New York City boasts Of many things
and with reason but tho claim that the big
city cultivates superior article of husband
brings involuutarily TO mind the historic
exclamation Of Missouri, you'll Have TO
Show Ne This is what the Sun attempts
by a Comparison with other cities. Says
the sun. More divorces are applied for
and more are granted in the city OF New
York than in any other large city Of the
country, but the number of divorced men
residing in New York is relatively much
smaller than in any other very large
American city.
There were, by the last enumeration,
fewer than 1900 divorced men here, OF
whom $50 were in Brooklyn, while in Chi
cage the number was nearly 1000, and in
Indianapolis which has less population
than the borough Of Queens, COO There
were only IS i'm Queens
Various explanations OF these dispari-
ties are given, the most natural one Of
which is that divorced men in New York
City remarry; in Chicago and some other
cities they don't--at least not to the same
extent. New York's record as the city
with the smallest number of divorced men
in proportion to the whole population is
nowhere challenged"

LUMBER BOOSTED;

ALL IMPORTANT ITEMS IN THE

Manufacturers Follow Up the Advance
in May With Another Price stiffen-
ing-Yellow Pine Can't Supply the
Demand, and White Pine Mills Are
Independent-Cut Will Be Light.

Lumber has gone up another notch.
The advance. scored in May was not
sufficient, and white pine manufactur-
ers are now sending out July price
list raising the price on all important
items from so cents to SO Thousand
There is general advance on all
dimension lumber of 81 thousand.
Common boards above the grade Of No.
are raised 30 cents, No. l fencing
81, and other fencing SO cents. Finish
and shop lumber of all dimensions are
advanced from ST. to So in the lower
grades, and the higher grades are prac-
tically out of the market.
The advance is partly due to the
river conditions, which have prevented
a good share Of the mills from, saw
ing for the last month, but there are
larger reasons also given by the lum-
bermen. The building boom which has
been noted in the northwest is also
evident in the south, and yellow pine,
which is the principal competitor of
the northern mills, has also advanced
in price. The demand is greater than
the supply, which is claimed to be
lO0,OOQ,0O0 feet less than last year.
With this important competition out
of the way, white pine is practically
Independent in the northwesterr states
Many mills have shut down in the last
year or two, and the production this
teen or twenty years, even if saving
conditions had been perfect. The river
troubles mean that there will be a
short supply of white pine during the
next twelve months.
The manufacturers do not expect the
slightest trouble in securing the in
creased prices. -

OFFERS 81 AN EAR
FOR THE BEST CORN
AUSTIN MAN ADDS INTEREST TO
STATE FAIR EXHIBITS.
For the Best Ten Ears of Minnesota
Corn He Will Pay Fancy Price
Special Premiums in Many Glasses
Are Expected to Bring Out Large
Displays

Superintendent J. M. Underwood Of
the agricultural department of the Min
nesota state fair is making plans for
very large and unusually attractive dis
play in the great agricultural hall next
September. He is having the building
overhauled and r;earranged SO that all
the high installations will be next the
outside walls of the building and the
lower exhibits in the center.
We think it will be pleasant
change and add to the appearance Of
the hall, said Mr.. Underwood today.
Several Of the county exhibitors have
written that they expect to be on hand
ever, indicating that they will bring
two carloads of material where they
had one last year. In many ways the
season has been favorable for the
growth Of grain and vegetables. Corn
may be little backward, but we hope
to be able to have a good display of
that valuable product, especially as we
are offering especially attractive pre-
miums
Turning to the premium list, Mr..
Underwood pointed out some interest
ing new features which have never
been Incorporated in the state fair Of
fers before and which were inserted
this year at his suggestion. One of
these is a sweepstakes Of $50 to be
dW d4 uOu IOI UeSG eAuIU1Co VI oLlc1A
grains to be shown on a table 3x6 feet;
another is a sweepstakes of 800 for
corn shown in the same way. Follow
| ing is the announcement that R. E..
Shepherd of Austin will buy the best
ten ears Of dent corn grown in Mime
sofa this year and shown in this de-
| partment at the state fair, and will
pay ST. an ear for those which may be
selected as the best ten.
| Mr.. Underwood also called special at
tention to group of seventeen lots of
flint, yellow dent and white dent corn
offers in the premium list, in eack of
which premiums of SO, So and 81 are
| offered for first, second and third. This
makes over 500 offered to farmers,
all Of whom have chance at Mr.. Shep.
herd s special offer, too.
Another hard-worked superintendent
is William E. Lee of Long Prairie, who
is doing his level best to get 400 ex.
hibitors Of farm machinery into the
place usually occupied by 200 and keep
every body satisfied and happy. The
implement division is overrun. Plow
makers manifested a disposition to hole
off early in the season, but they are
now coming in with rush and there
is no likelihood that anyone who really
cares to have plows shown in Mime
sofa will stay at home.
Minneapolis is oyerhauling, its large

Thresher company of Racine will have
