When the free alcohol bill is finally law,
it is expected that potato raising will be given

I S /

Minneapolis Journa1:-The movement to
retire State Auditor Iverson is getting under
way, and it is reported from Duluth that Odin
Halden is the point of announcing his candi-
dacy Overtures have been made to the Henne-
pin men who are expecting to attend the con
pention, and local men, headed by c. ]. Minor,
are working to get this delegation solid for
Halden, or any other candidate who may appear
to hold the anti-Iverson vote. The possible
candidacy of !. S. Arneson will be hell in re-
serve but if Jacobson fails to get the governor
ship several seventh district counties will pro-
badly line up for Arneson.
The nationality question does not affect the
authorship. No matter how many Norwegians
90 on the ticket, there is no choice among the
candidates for auditor. lverson, Halden and
Arneson are all Of Norwegian parentage.

At tile last meeting of the Minnesota Edit
0rial Association resolutions were passed call
ing on the Minnesota senators and representa-
tives to use their efforts in having the present
tariff AS per cent on typesetting machines re-
moved. The typesetting machines are all made
by one company, and that company sells It's
machines in Canada, 40 per cent cheaper than
here simply because it has a monopoly OF this
field and has to meet competition in Canada
The monopoly is further protected by the
fact that they hold several hundred patents
which they have simply pigepnholed. All OF
the senators and representatives expressed
their sympathy with the views held by the
editors except McCleary. He replies with a
counter irritant, wanting to know what the
patent laws have to do with the tariff, and if it
isn't better for the monopoly to build the
machines here rather than in some foreign
country. McCleary is scholarly gentleman
who has great opportunity to reach high
place in the counsels of the nation, but his
mind seems to have become warped on tariff
matters.

Over in South Dakota last week, the bosses

State Fire Marshal Peterson appears to
have got himself and the Democratic admins
tration into difficulty on account of giving
out his report that fire insurance rates in this
state are too high, and Immediately the insurance
commissioner comes outwith astatement that
thequestion should be further investigated. How
ever the insurance commissioner does make
one good point in his interview which is that
the c0nflagration risk should be taken into CON
sderation in making rate, and also that the
present union should be Investigated. But one
does not need to investigate insurance matters
very far before he finds that the business
should be carried on under federal laws, the
laws Of the various states are SO different and
further complicated by the general reel
proca law, by which one state accords the com
pauies Of another state the same treatment that
its own companies receive in the other state.

SCHOOL BOYS ATHLETICS.
Series of Events to Take Place at thu
Eoua Nayf Month

Series of Events to Take Place at the
Cove Next Month.
A series of athletic contests will
be held this spring between the pub
lie schools of this borough and the
boroughs Of Queens and Bronx, un-
der the direction of w. J.. Ballard,
assistant director of physical train
ing of the Public Schools Athletic
League. The new system, which pro-
yides for average class results, rath-
or than star performances by select
ed individual contestants, will be
used.
In the athletic events as conducted
heretofore about 10 per cent. of the
bows have taken part. Every boy in
a class, who is pronounced physically
able to take practice and to enter
the coming contest, is expected to do
SO.
In the running races the length of
the course will be based upon the
1ge of the pupils. The average of
the class will be made up from the
individual records as compared with
the average of the other classes OF
the school or district. Under this
method the slow boys are not shut
out and they get the benefit of the
exercise and excitement.
The boys of the grammar school
No. | are out practice nearly every
day after school and Saturdays and
hope to make Il good showing when
the meet takes place at the Cove in
West New Brighton next month.

EVERYTHING USEFUL
Nothing Ever Yet Created without u
Purpose.


We all wonder why certain things
were ever made, why certain animals
or insects were allowed to live. And
yet there is no doubt but that every
thing was created for some purpose,
and as civilization advances, such
purposes are discovered.
Cod liver oil is something that
everybody knows to have been a wise
provision by Providence, to be used
us Il medicine in ell wasting diseases.
Yet science has proven that the oil
has no value either as Il medicine or
food-and while useful to the Goldfish
only the medicinal elements which
the oil contains are useful to man as
a medicine. Therefore Il separation
must be affected.
This is exactly what has been done
by two eminent French chemists.
After twenty years of experimenting.
they succeeded in separating the
medicinal cnrativcs from the useless
oil and grease and have given to the
world in a concentrated form, all OF
the healing, strengthening ana
bodybuilding properties of cod liver
oil, without oil or grease to upset inc
stomach and retard its work. ana by
this process Vinol is made.
Our druggist, Mr.. c. A. sexton,
guarantees Vinol to be a pure Goa
liver medicine, without the oil, ana
not a patent medicine, and also guar
antees that Vinol will create a
healthy appetite, cure stomach tronD-

ticed a Polish man standing on the
tracks directly in front of the APP

the man, who appeared to be perfect

them and the train was about five
feet from him when a young man,
Dick Parsons, q resident of John

him off of the track. Had the train
