Battle Lake Review: The reason
lSouthern Minnesota land is being sold
at S Is per acre and Otter Tail county
] land for $50 is that the farmers OF the
southern part of the state raise brindle
COWS while the farmers in Otter Tail
raise brindle wheat.
w Waterville Advance: We have been
asked why we do not run colored sup
|splement sheet as some Of the other
county papers do. Because, we answer,
ment that would work an injury to
Legitimate business and honest patrons.
| Milwaukee w lsconsin: The scarcity
of ice in some sections, this summer,
particularly in the southern latitudes,
is naturally giving the artificial ice busi-
mess quite boom. The development
| Of the mechanical ice-maker and refrig-
! Grant has had bearing not only on the
| market in the South for ice from North
ern latitudes, but also upon the fruit
and meat trades. ~.2 ..@-s& %
Toledo Blade: The Bryan bubble
has burst, and Bryan himself did the
| pricking. All he needed was an oppor-
! tunity to make speech to prove he was
right when he said he was the same
Bryan of 1896 and 1900, only more radi-
cal. It is doubtful if Bryan will be the
democratic candidate in 1908, but if he
is the good hard sense of the American
people will more completely overwhelm
him than it did six and ten years ago.
Plainview News: This is the time of
the year to pay your subscription to
your local newspaper. The crop is an
excellent one and We should like a
slight benefit of it. If you are reading
your neighbours paper come in and sub
scribe for one of your own. You will feel
better and your neighbor will be more
pleased to have you call if he does not
feel as if you are coming to borrow the
paper which he has not had time to
read to his entire satisfaction.
St. Peter Free Press: 1t may be all
right for the democrats to elect a state
officer now and then in Minnesota as
long as republicans are foolish enough
to permit this to be done, but when 1t
is given out, upon the strength of these
accidental occurrences, that Minnesota
properly belongs in the doubtful col
umn and is likely to be carried by Bry-
an for president it is time for the repub-
licans to take notice.
Minneapolis Journal: David P Jones,
mayor of Minneapolis, is the republi-
can nominee for the head Of the city
ticket. BY a good clean majority Of
1000 and more he has swept the oppo-
sition off it's feet in spite of it's borrow
ed strength of 4,50O democratic votes,
and had the contest been confined to
the republican ranks, with the demo.
Gratis not interfering and trying to die
tate the republican ticket, the mayors
m ajority would have amounted to at
least 5,OO0
Minneapolis Journal: Mrs. S. E.
Davis and Mrs. E. 4. Beeman have 70
turned from a round trip to Chicago in
White Steamer, driven by Kenneth
Hopkins, son of W. NJ. Hopkins. The
party chose the route going which leads
thru Owatonna, Austin, Charles CITY,
Waterloo, Manchester, Dubuque, Gal
ena, Freeport, Rockford, Egin. The
Warner instrument registering 543
miles from Minneapolis to Chicago.
Mortified News: This is the way
the people in Northfeld who consume
coal are forced to pay exorbitant freight
rates. The Milwaukee pays the North
ern Pacific, as per contract, 40 cents per
ton to haul coal from Duluth to ST.
Paul, distance of 152 miles; then the
Milwaukee charges the citizens of
Mortified $2.25 per ton to haul coal
from Duluth to Mortified. 1t doesn't
take much of 6gurer to ascertain that
the Milwaukee charges $185 ton for
hauling coal from st, Paul to North
field, a distance of only 80 miles.
Forest and Stream: Many people
who live in the country are enemies of
the hawks and owls and shoot them at
every opportunity, because they think
the hawk is the persistent enemy OF
poultry, whereas this is a small part of
his diet. In regions and in seasons when
animal and insect food is scarce this
hawk will catch chickens and game
birds, but it lives mostly on mice and
shrews as we'll as frogs, snakes, lizards
and insects of various kinds. In
prairie and hilly country, almost the
| entire food Of this hawk is squirrels,
Hayfeld Transcript: It is evident
from the result of Tuesdays primaries
that it gives plenty of opportunity for
political Vaccinations and trickery:
Under the old convention system it
was the practice Of giving every pre-
oinct or district, as far as possible, some
recognition on the different party tick
cts, but under the primary law the dis
tricts having the largest vote get most
of the offices, which is the case in this
county, Kasson and Mantorville hav-
ing succeeded in capturing all but two
of the county offices. Had they had
candidates for senator and coroner
they would probably have had these
offices also.
Kasson Republican: F. W. sprung,
of Leroy, was here over Sunday. Mr.
Sprung is an implement dealer and
was here for the express purpose of
hearing Rev. E. II. Rasmussen preach,
with view Of trying TO persuade him
to go to Leroy to preach in the Bap-
tist church of that place. It might not
be out of place to state that the Leroy
