Towns In Northern Minnesota Under
going Purifying Process.
Bemidji, Mimi, April 22.-There are
indications that gambling, which has
flourished openly in almost every
Northern Minnesota town. will soon
be stopped. A vigorous campaign has
been under way at Blackjack for the
closing Of all gambling joints. The
village council. thus far has taken no
action, but the Blackjack refornlers
claim to have assurances from Gov.
Johnson that he will take the matter
up himself if the local authorities do
not. In Bemidji every gambling house
was closed Wednesday night. The ac-
ton was great surprise and was not
the result of a reform campaign OF Of
any pressure brought by the authori-
ties, but is said to have resulted from
an agreement among the gamblers
themselves. Most of them have left
town. In Blackjack one year ago
there were twenty-five saloons and
gambling places, while to-day there
are but eight saloons and not more
than three Or four gambling houses.

MARIE ANTOlNETTE TO BLAME.
Schumacher Front Modes Cal! for Flat,
Hiuh Bust Corsets.


Marie AntOinette modes are re3pcn.
sible for the higher cut corsets. The
stomacher front that is so conspicu-
Gus a feature of the seasons style
calls for straight-front stays of eXcep-
tional altitude, and it is safe to prOph-
esy that. save for athletic use, the
low-cut corset-for while, at any
rate-is il thing OF the past. Yet the
new model has little of the discom-
fort of it's Queen Anne prototype. The
royal and noble women of that mon
arch's time walked about in strait
Jackets of iron and wood that must
have caused much palpitation OF the
heart and all sorts of digestive disor-
ders. The new straight front is BIAS
tic as we'll as supporting, and it is al
most as easy for madame to bend and
sway in one of them as in the I'M
braced waists of a decade or so ago.
Nevertheless, the lines are similar to
those of the Queen Anne and Marie
Antoinette patterns. Even the lOngi-
tudinal garters attached to them are
not innovations, for these traces Of
hose supporters are visible in several
corsets remaining as relics of the
days when women didn't know how to
combine style with comfort.-New
York Press.

carnival in Sioux City in 1908, will
have to pay the bill of the Fullerton

cessful carnival was held. Judge Oil
Yer mas sustained demurrer to the
petition of the business men. who de-
manded in their suit that the Fuller

Frank T. HouX. was liable personally
for the lumber but the court took an
other view of the matter.

Discouraaing Flax Outlook.

The general outlook for faxseed APP
peals to the ordinary farmer at this
season of the year and farmers who
consider the advisability Of fax rails
ing will be interested in the condi-
tons which have governed the fax
market during the past year and
which will be criterion for the con-
ditions of the coming crop. Leading
statisticians figure that at this time
there is an equivalent to 10 million
bushels of seed in seed and oil in
Minneapolis and Duluth; that country
elevators and farmers hold at least
5 million bushels and that outside of
the fax belt, there are 5 million
bushels more in storage tanks. This
makes an available supply of fax in
the seed and oil of at least 20 million
bushels. The normal consumption Of
seed for all purposes in the United
States is approximately 10 million
bushels. 1t is, therefore, apparent
that an actual surplus of about l mill
lion bushels is now in sight, after
allowing for all demands for seed
during the coming year It is now GER
tdlu lIdI Europe Will Uc awe 10 tIdW.
from the countries usually supplying
Europe, at least As million bushels,
and that no possibility for exporting
any of our seed presents itself. Dam
age reports from India and Argentine
have been shown to be highly exag-
gerated. The United States, con-
sequently, will be obliged to take care
of all the seed now in sight with that
of another crop. This will have a de-
pressing effect on the prices in this
country and means that the values of
seed will be largely regulated by this
enormous surplus, to be further aug
mented by the coming crop. In view
of the foregoing it is hardly likely
that American farmers are going to
take any chances in sowing unusual
quantities of fax this year. Farmers
in the sections which produced the
major portion of last years crop are
hesitating and the enormous available
supply, together with almost certain
lower prices, certainly are good rea-
sons for serious consideration. A good
crop of flax added to existing stocks
will naturally mean unprecedented low
values, and farmers are not going to
take any risk as long as Inducements
are held out to them in the way of
high priced wheat and other cereals

SACRIFICED TO SCIENCE.
Twenty Thousand Batracians, Which,
Are Frogs, Killed Yearly.

Twenty Thousand Batracians, Which
Are Frogs, Killed Yearly:
Twenty thousand frogs a year are
used for dissecting and experimental
purposes in the University of Pennsyl-
vania medical laboratories.
Both medical and dental classes
view the experiments.
Frogs exist in a peculiar manner.
Their spinal cord constitutes the basis
of their intelligence, and after their
brain is destroyed they will live for an
indefinite period. Several years ago
the brain of one was taken out. To-
day the frog is alive and well and
jumping about it's cage.
Frequently holes are made in the
back of frogs head and the brains
loosened with a burnt match stick.
Much useful and valuable knowledge
has been obtained from these expert
ments.
AS the Pennsylvania law forbids the
hunting of bullfrogs except during GER
tain months of the year, the frog
catcher has to make careful distinc-
ton between frogs and bullfrogs.
The frog is much smaller and Of a
different color.
If the supply runs short in the vicin.
ity of Philadelphia, Chicago and other
places in the West supply the def
cheney.
A careful watch is kept on the pond
in the botanical gardens. The bull
frogs there are more than two feet
long.-Philadeiphla North American.
