trenchant reply to James J. Hills
speech delivered at Willmar, Sept. %
In this address Mr.. Hill contendea that
farmers of Minnesota were not gettine
the returns they should from their land.
and said:
The state Of Iowa today has an an
nual income from her farm lands OF
is $4.67. In the southern tier Of coun-
ties it is little under $6.''
The LOTUS reply is significant be-
cause it is circular to members of
the National Hay association. Mr.
Lotus is chairman of the transporte-
tion committee Of that important body
Of shippers. The circular in substance
is as follows
Surely there is something the mat
character if MI. Hills statement is
true. Doubtless Mr.. Hill obtained his
figures from the national census re-
ports, and they may therefore be ac-
cepted as authentic. In elaboration of
this statement, Mr.. Hill gives some de-
tails intended to prove that the farm
ers Of Minnesota are not as intelligent.

Of Iowa. Mr.. Hill admits that the soil
OF Minnesota is equel in all essential
qualities to that of Iowa, and that eli.
matte conditions are practically the
same in both states, hence he must
needs arraign the farmers of Minnesota
as occupying a low plane in the scale

YOUTHFUL HUSBAND B
CAUSES MOTHER WORRY

Chicago, Oct. 6. - Officers Of the ju-
veniie court are puzzled as to what to do
with William Costello, boy husband.
William is is years old, and his mother
Mrs. Elizabeth Costello, wants him pun
ished because on Sept. he married
Miss Sadie Matthews without saying
anything about his romance !.
Mrs Costello discovered that her boy
had been married, and learned that he
and his bride had obtained a room in
the house Of Mrs. Agnes Simmons. She
had Mrs. Simmons arrested and arraign-
ed before Justice Hurley yesterday on a
charge of harboring the boy The JUS
tice held the lad to the juvenile court.
Mrs. Simmons was also held for trial.
Justice Hurley has already decided that
the boy husband cannot be sent to the
detention school, as he is married, but
the mother will ask Judge Mack in the
juvenile court to send him to the school
for boys at St. Charles, Ill. "s- .r-. @.s- ~
Meanwhile the bride says she will die
of a broken heart if William is taken
from her. The youthful couple say they
obtained the marriage license by repre-
senting that William was ~ years old,
and that a minister performed the cere-
tnony. W.. .Esa4 .A-s

& Warrensburg, No, Oct. 6-Governor
Folk, in a speech here, announced his
views on life-insurance graft in this en-
phatic language: g.,
When the directors of great in
suranee company use the money intrust-
ed to their care for their own profit,
that is graft.
@.tWhen the president of a great insur-
ance company takes the funds held in
trust for the benefciaries of insurance
policies, and without their knowledge
and consent, converts part of this trust
fund into political campaign fund,
that is einbezzlement. 1a : p al j...-

and take therefronb money which he
turns over to someone else for political
