Lanesboro Leader: The railroads are
refusing to grant reduced rates to land
seekers. Very we'll maybe then people

land and a better country and climate,
right at home.

from his wages.
Battle Lake Review Gov. johnson
vetoed the bill providing that whole
salers and not retailers should be fined

The governor and wholesalers always
did get along nicely together. The re-
tailers have to bear the burden, as they
do under the present system.

Vicksburg. It was built of southern.
granite. This Is another case Of trea-,
son againt one of the industries of the
state. Tho state capitol was the first
great crime. It is q wise state that

Leroy independent: Whenever the
proceedings of the county commission
ers are published, one never sees any
items of expense for the LeKoy poor
among the long list of bills allowed for
the poor of Austin and others towns of
the county. Is this because there are
none here needing help or because We
are too indlsposed to see that our people
share equally we'll with those Of other
parts of the county?

report that there were three questions
that every concern with whom they

were "What is the moral tone Of your

These are significant queries and show
the trend of modern thought.
Stewartville Star: Mr.. Il. F. Engle-
hart brought to market last week, seven
last October pigs that tipped the scales
1t 1910 pounds, bringing $94.S9. These
porkers were cared for from their baby
hood to hoghood by Mrs. Englehart.

good one. 5
