A SCHEME THAT FAILED.

The janitor of a large apartment house on upper Broadway is evidently not only 9 student of human nature but reader of books, for he recently put into practice the Mark Twain story of the boys who struggled for the honor of whitewashing the fence. The janitor's scheme worked like a charm during one of this winters snowy days but that parsonage sincerely wishes that it hadn't
 The pavement of this janitor's realm was covered with snow and ice When that parsonage emerged from the warmth of the furnace room he looked at this prospective work and sighed. Just then, a troop of boys. on their way home from school, came strag- gIing along, and with a glance at them the janitor dropped on his knees in the snow, hunting intently. Finally, when he had an audience, he picked up nickel.
 ''Whatcher lookin' fer, mister, 9 queried one of the school boys.
 You boys go right away from here,' the janitor said severely. |" I want all this money for myself A crazy man came along here during the snowstorm and scattered about $10 in nickels and dimes along the length of this pave ment and the ice has covered it up. You boys trot along now"
 "Oh, mister, we'll help you," chor- used the boys. wen give you what ever we find-honor bright"
 "All right, kids" answered the jani- tor, with seeming reluctance. Here's shovels, and hatchets. Half of you break up the ice and the others throw it in the gutter and pick up the money"
 The janitOr surreptitously dropped a few pennies on the ice as a sort of a bait and then retired to the cosy com fort of the furnace room. Occasionally 10 his ears came a shout of triumph as one of the coppers would be discover ed.
 Finally there was a merry scurry of feet and then silence.
 "Ahai" quoth the willy janitOr as he sauntered out to the pavement. ''The kids shave finished up the job and then beaten it with those three pennies"
 The job was almost finished and the smiling janitOr asked a small boy if the snow shovelers had found the $10. More than that, mister said the small boy. "They came across lady's pocketbook and it had $14. 26 in it.'' Granting, for the sake of the argu-

Mr. Uecke brought back with him from

he went to Milwaukee on business.
Besides bringing over these families,
says Mr. Uecke, Il arranged for the i'm
migration Of thirty more families,
These thirty families, comprising 1910

Just as soon as we are ready for them

call camps in several places in the north
Colonists arriving at Hayward will be
given quarters in large buildings that
have been erected for them. Then the
heads of the families will pick out the
farms they desire. Some of them will
take 100 acres or more. Others have ar
ranced to take up 80 or 40 acres. AS
soon as a man has picked out his farm
the company builds house for him to
use temporarily. These buildings. are
designed with an eye to their Happiness
and convenience. Many of the colonists
replace these homes with better places
after they have made something out of

conrse, to clear off their acres and ar

That is not hard for item. In fact, ii

the general benefits to come to each
Sl, 700 worth of property will not be

more benefit will come from the general
agitation incident to an effort to secure
immigration as comes from the actual
money invested by the state. The gen
eral benefits to the state last year, as a
result OF the enactment of the immigra-
ton law, cannot be measured bv the
$1,000 invested in advertising it's un-

other states with the intention of set
Ting upon their purchases.
ALL PULLED TOGETHER.
''Nearly every interest in the state
contributed to the success of the en-
terprise The railroads furnished free
transportation to the editors of farm
papers from our own and other states,
to twin city newspaper men, and to the
representatives of many of our country
papers. They took up the work of adj
vertising as it mad never been done be-
fore. Local boards of trade procured
maps showing the location of state lands
in their respective localities, and their
relation to schoolhouses, villages, rail-
road stations, lakes and rivers, and
gave them general circulation every
where. Editors of agricultural and 9TH
er journals, who took. advantage Of this
free excursion, went home to write
column after column, week after week,
praising the country they had visited.
Had the state paid for all the free
advertising it received, from which
there can be no doubt substantial ben
efits resulted, it would have cost many
times the ST, 500 invested under the i'm
migration law. Rarely ever has COM
monwealth realized SO signally such a
large measure of profit as did the state
OF Minnesota from that slight invest
ment. 1t cost the newspapers and pc
riodicals which gave the free adver-
Using substantially nothing.
BooST-DoN'T KNOCK.
"Grumbling and fault finding against
natural conditions should be condemned
everywhere. Especiallyis this true in a
state possessing such marvellous oppor-
tunities and advantages as does the
ate of Minnesota. Few things are
more harmful than a citizen who is
ever preaching encouragement and
thereby influencing prospective settler
take their residence elsewhere. While
other localities have found advertising
exceedingly profitable, there is prob
i ably no state in the union so favorably
| located to realize the large measure
of benefits from proper and systematic
advertising as is the state of Mime
sofa. Nearly all the homeseekers who
are disposed to visit North Dakota or
the Canadian northwest have to pass
our Threshold and go nearly the entire
| length of the state. Let US awaken
from our Rip Dan Wrinkle sleep, and let
the world know of the golden oppor-
tunities for homebuilders which every
where surround us.
