house at Sumner. the old one having
been DESTROYED the first of the year, in
the second court district. The original
contract was for $13, 900, but the Board
concluded to make some changes and
agreed upon change and allowed SS,-
900 for same. One contSactor who was
present at the time the contract was

contractor offered him 81 900 if he would
not bid on the job. He stated that he
would get the contract anyway, it is
stated in the pleadings. Another con-
tractor of much and large experience OF
more than twenty years makes affidavit
that said additional work could have
been done for S. 500 and that $4,000
would have been fancy charge.

W00D.WASTe DECREASING.

The waste wood heap continues to
diminish and pass away. A Massachu-
sets manufacturer of brushes recently
made discovery in Maine which
supplied him with material exactly
suited to his purpose. He went to
the Pine Tree State to buy wood for
the backs of hair brushes and the
handles of shaving brushes, and chanc-
ed to visit the yards of spool maker
who was using white birch. The spool
man took the white part of the wood
only, and was throwing away the red
hearts. Thousands of cords had been
burned or dumped in the lake to be
rid of it. The red hearts were exactly
what the brush maker wanted, and
at little more than the expense of
freight he supplied his factory.
This is typical of the trend of manu-
facture. Waste of wood is still great,
but it is decreasing. What one fac
tory cannot use, another turns to pro-
fit. Formerly mills threw away half
the forest-tOps left in the woods,
them and destroy fish, slabs burned in
perpetual bonfres, and defective logs
and low grade lumber abandoned as
not worth moving. This policy does
not generally prevail now. Some mills
have put in machinery to work up
their own by-products, others sell their
waste to manufacturers who can use
it, as in the case cited in Maine. The
properties and uses of woods are now
subjects of careful investigation, and
the problem of turning to account the
odsd an dends and the by-products is
brought more to the front now than
formerly.
The United States forest service has
taken up this study in a comprehen.
sive and systematic way. Investiga-
tions of the woods of particular states
are being conducted, usually in coopera-
ton with the states concerned. The
plan, when fully carried out, will in
clude every commercial wood in the
United States, not fewer than 200 spec
les. The properties of each will be
investigated, its hardness, toughness,
elasticity, durability, weight, fuel vail
ue, size of tree, regions where grown,
the common names by which it is
known in different localities, and other
matters of this kind. A history of the
woods uses in the past will be given
and an account of present uses; to-
gether with suggestions for wider
range of usefulness in the future by
pointing out in what capacities it will
serve best and be most valuable.

An unfavorable report on The cancer
treatment advocated by DIR. John Beard
of Edinburg and known as trypsin or
engine, has now been made by DR..
William S. cambridge, surgeon of the
New York Skin and Cancer Hospital,
and published in the Medical Record.
DIR. cambridge says the more import
ant conclusions reached are that the
internal medication with Holadin and
oxgall by aiding digestion and elimina-
ton tends in some cases to decrease
the rapidity of the malignant process
by increasing the patients resistance
and that the use of the pancreatic
lotion applied locally clears the ulcer
ating surface. On the other hand the
injection of the trypsin by causing
more rapid disintegration of the can
cerous tissue may be direct menace
to life by eroding large blood vessels
or by overwhelming the system with
poisonous products. The injections are
often painful. The treatment does not
check the cancerOus growth.

DEFENDER OF THE VETS

Our old friend Rev. William A. Was.
son, an Episcopal clergyman of more
or less fame, who has been at the
head of parishes in the east and west,
occupied space in the current number
OF Pearson's Magazine with an at.
tack upon the prohibitionists. This
Is not the first time that our former
rector and advisor in matters spiritual
has come to the defense of the vets.
and the vigorous manner in which he
handles his subject leads not a few
people to become possessed of the lurk-
ing suspicion that the reverend gentle
man is acting in the capacity of press
agent for the liquor interests. But the
editor of Pearsons denies the impeach-
ment that is cast upon the man of
the cloth.
The Chicago Post regards Rev. Was
sons attitude as something extraor-
dinary-the readers of the magazine
can experience the rather novel SEN
sation of "man of God up in arms
for the saloon" And it is no mine
ing matter, either. The author does
not simply "deplore," he "denounces
and defends" with a zeal which, now
and then, smacks more of Milwau-
kee mayor than it does of a Long
Island clergyman. "Prohibitionists
have simplifed tine liquor problem at
the expense of truth, reason and COM
mon experience" says the writer. Sew
en- of the eight states which fifty years
ago adopted prohibition have discovered
this fact and have gone back to licen-
sing the saloon.

has always been considered not only
legitimate as a beverage, but it is
consecrated and hallowed in the most
solemn and weighty rite of the Chris

to has made good.

Mankato has made good.
The Commercial club has again
demonstrated its worth as an effective
agency for good. The decision of the
Evangelical Educational association
committee to locate the ladies' semi
nary in Mankato is due to the emerge
tie efforts of that body. President Ny
ouist and his committees deserve a
large measure of credit for bringing
this high class educational institution
TO this city.
There is another gentleman whose
name and his connection with this
worthy and successful movement should
not be overlooked. Rev. A. F. Winter,
pastor of the German Lutheran church,
always friend and advocate of Man
kato, called the attention of the
Evangelical Educational association
committee to the multiplicity of unsur
passed advantages possessed by Man
kato for an institution of the charac.
ter contemplated, and it was through
his infuance that that committee visit
ed this city, looked it over and were
convinced-just as Rev. Winter told
them they would be when he invited
them to come here.
After the committee had taken a
bird's-eye view of Mankato and looked
over the several available sites, inter-
viewed number of our citizens and
taken stock of the city in general
way, they We're quick to put us on
the list of worthy competitors for the
college. The Commercial club made it's
offer good and the committee has ac-
cepted it. That, in brief, is the story
of how Mankato has obtained what is
destined to be one of the most promi-
nent ladies' institutions of learning in
the northwest.
The generous and liberalhearted citi-
zens of Mankato responded willingly
TO the call of the Commercial club,
and they, too, come in for their large
portion of the credit that is due for
the achievement that we are now re-
joicing over. The Free Press never
doubted for moment the result of
their endeavor. From the beginning
of the canvass this newspaper was of
the, belief that the $4,000 would be
subscribed. Mankato always does things
and does them right, the pessimist to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Mankato has made good.

THE STORY OF SHELLEY.

Percy Bysshe Shelley, the alchemist
whose magic pen transmitted the dross
of reality into the pure gold of fancy
was born in Horsham, England, one
hundred and seventeen years ago to-
day. He was the son of Sir Timothy
Shelley, and was educated at Eton and
University college, Oxford. 1t was been
said that knowledge is dead, and Ok
word is his widow" but in the case
of Shelley the measured discipline OF
the widow" was not sufficient tc
stamp out the originality and the
spirit of revolt that ever fermented in
the heart and brain of the sweet sing
er of England.
Leaving the narrow confines of the
university, Shelley became a student
IN that greater university, the world
His first notable poetical product was
"Queen Mab," begun sometime previ
ously but privately printed in 1913
when the poet was 81 years of age
This was followed in 1916 by "Alastor
or the Spirit of Solitude" and in 1917
by the "Revolt of Islam," a poem il
the Spenserian stanza.
The history of Shelley's loves has
been written many times, and there
are but few who are not familia,
with the details of his unfortunate
elopement, in 1911, with Harriet West
brook. The girl, then only sixteen, was
the daughter of a retired innkeeper
and was in every way untitled to be
the companion of the soaring genius Of
poesy. The artistic temperament" Of
Shelley soon led to domestic differ
ences, and after returning with hel
two children to her father, Mrs. Shell
ley committed suicide by drowning.
Soon after his first wife's death Shell
ley and Mary Goodwin were married
Despite his differences with his first
wife, Shelley was very fond of the two
children of his early marriage, and
when the courts decided that he was
unfit to be Entrusted with their care, he
was stricken with grief. Leaving Eng
land in 1918 he spent the remainder
of his short and troubled career in
