CORRECTION.

In some unaccountable manner, it
has been noised around that l, instead
of being independent, am still work
ing either for, or with Mr.. Ringness.
| wish in this announcement to cor
rect this erroneous idea. l wish to
say most emphatica!ly that l alone
am responsible for The Exchange
Furniture store. Mr.. Ringness has
nothing whatever to do with rny store
or my business. The new furniture
have in stock comes direct to me
from the wholesale houses and the
second hand pieces come from diff
ferent people around town who have
wished to dispose of them. Nor did
I take Mr.. Moore's second hand stock
as some seem to think. My store and
stock are both clean and up to date
aud I aim to please my customers in
every way and treat them right. With
this end in view I solicit from each
and all my share of your patronage,
and thank you in advance for the
same. M. g. TRYON.

this noon vanish before tomorrow's
sun, yet the west-the mecca of the
free, the brave, the patriotic Ameri-
can shall not only endure while the
spirit of the pioneers animate their
sons, but we bear nobly its part in
the struggle for better social and
economic conditions, in the mastery
of the elements and in the evolutions
of the ages.
"We had reason to hope in the fu-
ture, as in the past, the west will be
true to it's traditions, and that to the
remotest generation liberty will be as
sweet and progress as glorious as
they we're to our fathers and are to
you and me-"
Gov. Johnson denounced what he
called "fifty years of national folly
in the enactment of navigation laws
and high protective tariffs" and de-
clared that the "great army of west

of government and ask only for that
justice and freedom to which they are
entitled by natural right under the
guarantee of our constitution and our

MAY GET MONEY.
Relatives Want to Know Where
abouts of William Bird.

The Willm4r Republican Gazette
says
This Office is in receipt of letter
from Goodrich Ind, asking for infor-
nation as to the Whereabouts Of one
William Bird, who, the letter says,
came to Willmar when a child, and
whose mother was later married here
a second lime. The writer does not
know the name of the man to whom
the mother was married, and gives no
Information as to dates. The object
Of the inquiry, as stated, is that an
aunt of the young man, a sister of his
deceased father, may will him some
money. If anyone who reads this
article knows any ything about William
Bird they will doubtless do him
favor and oblige relatives by writing
Mrs. A. Stration, Goodrich, Ind.
William Bird is we'll known here.
He has been rising rapidly in the SER
vice OF the Grert Northern Railway
Co., and now has a responsible posi-
ton at Grand Forks, N. D. His
mother, Mrs. I. Mumbleau, was inter
viewed yesterday, and stated that
she used to live at Goderich, Ontario,
and that her first husband, Joseph
Bird, died there. She knew there
Mrs. A. Stration, who was the wife of
the station agent there at that time.
Mr.. Bird has no sister in Ontario, but
did have sister living in the old
country. Mrs. Mumbleau came to
Morris in 1890, and was married few
years later.
The many friends of William Bird
would be pleased with any good for
tune which might befall him.

Insurance Notes.

The Yeoman of America, a fraternal
society, of Aorora, ILL.,, has been re-
fused license for the year 1909. The
association had used about $4,000 OF
it's Mortuary Fund for expenses.
The Attorney General has rendered
an opinion to the effect that the Mod
ern Samaritans fraternal beneficiary
society of this state may establish a
so-called "Redemption Fund" to be
distributed among the surviving and
persistent members when each has
reached the age of sixty five years.
The opinion is based upon the fact
that this society was organized under
Chapter 1874 of the General Laws of
1885.
The law establishing Standard Pro-
visions for Health and Accident poll
cies became effective July 1st. The
Department has already approved a
large number a policies of this class.
We believe this law insures the pur-
chaser of such policy contract
which is definite, ineligible and fair,
The fire losses in Minnesota for
June amounted to $40, 900 as compared
with 1856, 900 for the same month in
1908. The losses in the United States

an accomplished and splendid young
woman, highly honored by old and
young alike She has ever been a
bright star in the home circle, and
now she has gone to reign as queen in
her own home. The groom is almost
a stranger here, but Judging from
what the bride is worthy of, he is a
good and noble man. He was born
and raised at Morris, Mimi, but of
late years he has been making his
home at Standpoint, Idaho, where he
is engaged in the hardware business
with his two brothers.
The newly married couple left
Wednesday evening on a wedding
tour of the Northwest states to the
coast and British Columbia, after

tate interests.

DOES FARMING PAY?
Some Results of Investigations
by the State Experiment
Station.

The Minnesota Experiment Station
in cooperation with the Bureau o
Statistics of the U. s. Department o
| Agriculture has carried on an investi
cation as to the cost of producing
farm products in Minnesota since
1902. The preliminary results of this
investigation have been published by
the government Bureau of Statistics
as Bulletins 4s and 73, and by the
Minnesota Experiment Station as Bull
letin 81.
The actual cost of producing al
farm products has been determined
upon large number of farms, with
the result that those interested are en-
abled to appreciate the true economic
position of the farmer, and the far
mer himself is better able to under
stand his relation to society.
Data now published indicates that
when all items of cost, including
wages to the farmer, are teken into
consideration, the profits from the
average crop are practically nothing.
The general impression that the far
mer's cost of growing a product is
very little is being dispelled, for it is
slowly being recognized that when all
items of cost are taken into account,
labor of men and horses, the various
cash expenses, interest and deprecis-
tion upon machinery and interest up
on capital invested, that the expense
is surprisingly high. Even the pre-
sent high prices of farm products al
low only fair margin between cost
of production and selling price. The
average crop is sold at the average
price the past ten years has often re-
suited in loss to the farmer.
Taking wheat as an example, the
cost of production an acre in south
eastern Minnesota was 1886. An aver
age crop of 15 bushels an acre was
raised on these farms; thus the cost
of bushel on the farm was 66 cents.
The cost of marketing the product
and an averaging of the general ex-
pense would make an added cents
a bushel, giving a total cost of II
cents bushel. The average Dee.
farm price of wheat was 74.2 cents a
bushel. A similar computation for
the oat crop gives margin of less
than 3 cents bushel. This margin
in either case does not equal the 10
per cent profit that is so generally
added to cost by men engaged in
other lines of business.
The need of this investigation has
long been felt. Minnesota is the
pioneer state to undertake the
thorough work required, and in the
not distant future should be in posi-
ton to reap the benefits.

Looks Like Chaos Now.

The casual visitor to the State Fair

pile is all ready for use. If he hap

sees small army of men swarming

Der and tile-hoisting, hammering,
hauling, pouring and saving at a ire
mendous speed. If he happens out
there at night he sees another small
army doing the same thing under the
light of score of flaming arcs.

man, however, is largely that of for :

GRANDSTAND NOW
NEARLY READY.
Every Officisl on the job is Posi-.

Before the State Fair Opens.

In answer to the ten thousand que
ries which daily impede work on the
new grandstand and exposition build
ing and keep the State Fair telephones
hot during most of the day and night.
L. j. Tong, superintendent for Reed &
Stem, has had emblazoned upon a
board of goodly size, displayed where
all who run may read, the clinching
legend:
Yes! 1t Will Be Finished"
Furthermore, Alfred Fellheimer, iu-
nior member of the firm of Reed &
Stem and supervising architect of the
mammoth combination grandstand
and exposition building, AYERS some
thing of the same sort and with even
more emphasis.
In addition to this, "Pete" Grant,
who is managing the job for his fa
ther, George j. Grant, the contractor,
remarks in words well chosen that it
will be we'll done and soon. And they
all join in the chorus and explain that
not only viii it be done but it will be
done in time for the fiftieth annual
Minnesota State Fair of Sept. to II.
Going further, they dispense the off,
cial information, not without heat and
feeling, that it will be done so many
days before the fair that only an ex-
pert could tell it hadn't been finished
last Christmas.
