government is in great dilemma.
It has built big battleship at the
dockyards on the river Weser and
refuses to furnish sufficient watt r
to float the vessel down to the sea.
Emperor Bill is not only perplexed
but boiling over with rage because
Me und Colt" have not succeeded
IN inducing the Weser to fill up!

The Wlnona Independent is author
lty for the statement that Southern
Minnesota is to be invaded soon
with crew of peddling grocers
who will take orders for future de-
livery. thus eyading the laws max
ing them pay a license to peddle.
The authorities generally are ad-
vlsed to look carefully into their
methods of doing business, and see

them-as they are sure to take a
good many dollars from the locsl
dealers.
A bulletin issued by the North
western Grain Dealers association
places the wheat crop of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta for the
present year at 120,340,O00 bushels,
on the assumption that the crop will
yield an average Of 17.3 bushels an
acre from 6,692.OOO acres. Oats,
they estimate, will yield an average
of forty bushels to the acre from
3,92O,OOO acres, producing total
yield OF loo, 300, 900 bushels. Barley,
they estimate, will total 80, 24O, 900

State entomologist writes to the
Hutchinson Independent: "In your
district, all along the line of the
Great Northern from your place
nearly to town the Web Worm you
refer to is very abundant, and as
you rightly suggest, a torch applied
to these nests now would kill the
contained worms and reduce the
evil for next year. Later on the
worms descend to the ground, and
come out in the spring as moths to
repeat their work. In other words.
1T does no good to destroy the nests
in the winter time, since the pests
have left them"
Now and then some fellow pulls
out of the river a big catfish but
they are not as plenty as years ago
when that was about the only vari-
ETY. we got, writes Put Of the Gran
lite Tribune. We recall the time
when an old gentleman by the nan e
of Mosier had line with perhaps
hundred hooks baited across the riv-
err in the vicinity of the foot bridge,
and it was no unusual thing to see
him pull in four or five hundred
pounds Of catfish every morning and
sell to the farmers who came here to
the mill. In some cases they
weighed from twelve to fifteen
pounds.
Little Falls Transcript: When the
board of managers of the state fair
meet to arrange for next years
exposition 1t might be well for some
one to call their attention to the
skinny premiums hung up for cour-
ty exhibits as compared with the
prizes awarded for other attrac-
lions. No less than $500 should go
to the winner in this contest. The
gathering and arranging of an ex-
hibit is a task which not only re-
quires weeks of hard labor and
but entails a heavy expo nse.
Morrison's premium this year SILL,
is but small proportion of what it
cost to secure a prize-winning ex-
hibit. A prize Of $1,000 to $4,000
for an automobile race is all right,
but it does not aid in selling Mime
