Ex-senator P. M. Ringdahl, one of
the Minnesota delegates to the inter-
rational conference, said today that
enc man who desired great credit for
the work of drainage on the Mime
sofa side. was seldom If ever mem
toned in connection with It. This
man was E. e. Lommen, q one time
senator from Polk county but now a
furniture dealer at Crookston. Mr..
lommen was in the state senate In
tie early '90s and introduced and Be-
cured the passage of the first Mime
sofa drainage appropriation.
He labored long and zealously and
through his efforts and the demonstra-
tons resulting, local drainage and
county drainage were stimulated. Mr..
Lommen is retiring and modest man
and hence little is heard from him. Mr..
Rtngdahl considered IT was a mis-
fortune that he was not a delegate.

OPEN TO STATE
BREEDERS
North Dakota Breeders Will Be AL
lowed to Compete at the Minnesota
State Fair IN the Fat Stock Classes

Hereafter.
Breeders and feeders of North Da-
kota stock will be allowed to enter
their prize stock in the fat stock
classes at the Minnesota state fair
this year, according to J. B. Power,
the well known Helendale stock rails
err. Heretofore the best classes have
been open only to Minnesota breeders.
Mr. Power states that he had been
notified by the executive committee
of the Minnesota state fair association
that North Dakota patrons would be
allowed to compete on the same terms
lis Minnesota patrons This will be
welcome news to the breeders of this
state. North Dakota prize stock will
compare favorably with the stock of
any state in the union. Exhibits have
been made at the Minnesota state fair
heretofore, but they have been compli-
mentary and not competitive. Prize
stock breeders will probably nearly
all compete at the North Dakota state
fair to be held in Fargo this year.

Elder Zach Mayhem has decided finally
not to part with his dog Ginger. for
which many fattering offers have been
made by museum managers. but Will
keep the faithful old animal In comfort
until he dies.
Ginger Is a cross between "a Great Dane
and a dachshund. and this ancestry Is
believed by experts to be responsible for
several pecularities.
Ginger Is unable to wag his tail side
ways When he desires to express pleas
ure or appreciation he wags 1t up and
downfall is. with a perpendicular in
stead of lateral twinkle, and the un-
natural motion appears to give him physi-
cal pain, for every time the tail wags
he bowls In the most dismal manner.
He has the massive head of the Dane
and the squat elongated body of the
dachshund, and is built so close to the
ground that the elder. who is quite an
inventor devised a set Of wheels which
fastened under Gipgers middle. enable
him 10 skate over the ground with far
greater rapidity than he could attain by
the sole use OF his abbreviated legs.

thing for the stage manager to call a

TT is difficult to define a crank. An

person one day may seem normal
enough at another time to another mind.
A few eccentricities as to which there
can be no doubt. however. are recorded

was noted for a very strange eccentrcty.
Although for years he had never been
