The national convention of Ipsur
ance Commissioners, at it's last an
nual session in Colorado Springs,
August oath to 9th, recommended
for passage in all states a unif orm
bill establishing standard provisions
and prohibitions for health and acci-
dent policies. This bill is based up
on the Minnesota law, which was
passed by the legislature at its last
session. The convention also passed
resolution warning the public
against stock-selling schemes in con-
nection with insurance companies,
where the stock is sold by soliciting
agents who are paid a large commits
sion on the sale.

The announcement is made by the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway
that for the year which ended June
80, 1909, 27,OOO,OOO passengers were
carried over its rails without single
fatality, and it is difficult to compre-
hend the significance of this state
ment without the aid of the most il
Eliminating illustrations. The popu-
lation of New York, Pennsylvania;
Ohio, Illinois, Massachusetts, and In
diana approximates 27,000,000 per-
sons, and statistics show a great
number of fatalities each year in
those states as a result of accidents
to persons who are pursuing their
usual duties, thus indicating that
travel on the passenger trains of the
Northwestern is attended with less
hazard than pertains to the ordinary
everyday vocations of life.

The two long-distance balloons out
of St. Louis came to the earth in
Northern Minnesota. and one of
them went over Redwood county be-
ing seen at Springfield, supposed to
be the st. Louis No. 8. the winner
of the $4,000 prize. The St. Louis
drifted $50 miles before making a
landing at Wahkon, almost due
west Of Duluth and $50 miles from
the starting point at St. Louis. Re-
port has it that the big gas bag was
seen at Vesta and Belview, going
swiftly in the direction of Renville.
The occupants of the car passed near
enough the ground at Belview to
ask for a drink but Tut was on
guard and had the lid screwed tight.

This Cooke-Peary controversy is
getting so fierce that it would be
better for the ultimate consumer of
the daily news dope if neither Cooke
or Peary had ever been born. If we
are to believe reports, the controver-
sy is estranging friends and divid-
ing families, and it is even stated
that it is helping fill the lunatic asy-
lums. Worst of all, it is making
trouble for the newspaper fraterni-
ty, two of the Redwood county ed
itors taking opposite sides in the
contention. Redwood county papers
should refuse to advertise either DR..
Cooke or Commander Peary except
at regular space rates.

The fight being made against the
rejection of Moses E. Clapp to the
United States senate recalls to mind
his first election to that important
position, says the St. Peter Tribune.
Although placed in the field by cer-
tain politicians in the cities, it was
done with the intention of using him
simply as stalking horse to pave
the way for the entrance of the real
candidate but for once the country
members of the legislature were on
to the game. They rallied solidly
to his support and he was triumph
antly elected. Unless we mistake
the signs of the times the country
will again rally to his support and
elect him in spite of the machina-
tions of the Twin City politicians.

He Barred Newcastle.

When Edward VII. as prince OF
Wales visited America in 1860. Can
ada went wild over him, and in De-
troit and Chicago the crowds were SO
dense that the party could scarcely
reach their hotel. So many were the
receptions. dinners and other social
functions in which the prince partici-
pated that be finally broke down
through sheer fatigue and overexcite-
ment. The Duke of Newcastle, who
was the princes companion, decided.
therefore. to stop off on their way to
st. Louis at Dwight Station, quiet
village famous for its shooting The
prince brought down a bag Of fourteen
brace of quail and four rabbits. But
the pleasure Of the day was marred by
the following incident:
AS the royal party approached a
farmhouse an Enthusiastically British
settler appeared at the door and in
vlted every one except the Duke of
Newcastle to enter.
Not you. Newcastlew he shouted.
Il have been tenant Of yours and
have sworn that you shall never set
foot on my land"
Accordingly the party passed on, and
the farmer, though revenged on h.s
old landlord. had to forego the honor
OF entertaining royalty under his roof.

The Conundrum Fiend.

The man with the red bald spo1

observed:

a hot summer day and a woman 5000
feet in the air over a county fair

trying to mend a rip in a balloon with
a broken safety pin"'

The suggestion of F. w. Johnson

Democratic nomination for that Of

while the penial host Of the Dakota

The Minnesota Educational Asso-
Cidtlon


Is very desirous of having a large
attendance this year. Unfortunately
last years attendance was not large
enough to pay expenses, though the
association is not in debt, due to a
small balance brought over fro m the
previous year. If the directors of
the coming meetings can be assured
of money to meet bills. they will
secure for the programs more per-
sons from beyond our borders. 1t
should not. however. be thought
that Minnesota educators are not
the peers of any in the land; the
reason for bringing in outside talent
is that..we may hear the same great
problems treated in a new way.
Tnis is good thing; for it confirms
the teachers in what they are doing,
or it opens up new vistas in educa-
ton. All teachers should attend
this meeting, the first to be held in
the fall; and to assure the manage
ment that the teachers stand ready
to foot the bills for obtaining the
best that can be found-Oct. 28th
to 3Oth.

Attention has recently been called
to the fact that the governors of
four states-Connecticut, Minnesota,
Nevada and Washington-have been
called away by death since the be-
ginning of the year. This alarming
rate of mortality among governors
within single year is not likely to
have any appreciable effect on the
number of candidates for that high
office in the next campaign.

In spite of President Taft's cham.
pionship, Congressman Tawney and
Secretary Ballinger are being pill
loried in many newspapers and
periodicals as champions of the cor
porations. LaFollett's weekly has

these two statesmen. The Winona

BARNARD MANURE.

| (Notes furnished by Minnesota Farmers
Institutes.
Barnyard manure is undoubtedly
one of the most valuable by-prod.
ucts of the farm. 1t is almost ar
absolute necessity of productivity
At a conservative estimate, six to
ten loads of barnyard manure ap.
piled to corn field, the corn crop
followed by a grain crop and seeded
to grass, left one or two years in
grass, then plowed and sowed to
grain. will produce enough more
during the four or five years follow
ing the application Of the manure to
return from So to So per ton on the
manure applied.
1t is essential, if crops are to be
removed year after year, carrying
with them part Of the plant food
stored in the soil, that some sreps be
taken to replace the plant food re-
moved. Manure not only adds plant
food directly to the soil, but it also
aids in liberating portions of the
mineral plant foods, as potash and
phosphoric acid, that are in the soil
in an available form.
The three elements of plant food
liable to become exhausted in most
soils are nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash. Nitrogen may be easily
supplied to the soil by growing
clover and other legume crops.
Manure adds nitrogen and potash,
and some phosphoric acid, but it's
chief function in regard to the two
latter elements is to assist in liber-
ating the stores of these elements
locked in the soil. Phosphoric acid
and potash are found in most Min
nesota soils in quantities sufficient
to produce hundred or more or
dinary crops. Plant food that is
soluble, that is dissolves in water as
will sugar, can not remain in the
soil in large quantities because it is
carried out by water flowing through
the ground. Hence, it is found in
an unsoluble form in the soil, and
the problem Of the farmer is to
make this plant food soluble while
the crops are growing and can use
it. Barnyard manure and other
matter when decaying
gives off an acid which acts on the
surface of soil particles and aids in
small amounts of plant
food.
Considering the great value of
Oarnyard manure and the need of it
to enrich the partially depleted soils
and supply the vegetable matter
rapidly used up by corn and grain
crops, it seems that more care should
De exercised to save in the best pos
'ible way the millions of dollars
worth of this valuable by-product
produced every year in Minnesota.
1t has been amply proved by ex-
,eriment that the greatest value is
obtained from manure if it is ap-
'lied directly to the field as fast as
is made. If left in piles about
he barn, it decomposes and much
f its value is lost as gas and is
leached out by rains. BY apply
ng directly TO the field and spread
ng it, very little decomposition
axes place until it is worked into
he soil. Then practically all of the
alue is retained by the soil and the
dditional benefit of the decomposi-
ion in dissolving mineral plant food
secured. A. D. WILSON.

DAILY DIET HINTS

NUTS AS STAPLE DIET.

Uncooked peanuts or any nuts
are not, as many suppose, Indl
gestibfe, but they differ much In
composition from other foods,
and therefore do not readily mix;
or, what Is the same, the sye-
tenn must have time to readiust
Itself to the digestion Of the food
to which 1t was for ages adapt
edHfor nuts and fruits are tho
most natural food Of man. Eat
Ing a few nuts at the end Of .
meal Is an error, causing the b.
lief that nuts In general are IN
digestible. Whole wheat bread
harmonizes best with nuts. To
adopt the nut and fruit diet,
change one meal to whole wheat
bread, gradually; then add nuts
gradually, till the bread is used
only for bulk, which, in time,
may be dropped by eating the
bread at one meal only. Ono
meal should consist Of apples or
prunes. Anyone can eat enough
at two full meals. Many have
subslsted well on one.

Apology for Johnson Libel.
Minneapolis Tribune.)


The Beaumont (Tex.) Journa
which. in commenting on the death
of Governor Johnson, stated that
the late chief executive of Minnesota
had been man without education,
refinement or polish and that he
could scarcely speak English, has
taken it all back. julius Schmahl,
secretary of state, wrote to the
Texas editor to inform him of his
error.
Despite the fact that the Beau
mont paper made the bold state
ments accredited to it and that there
was no question as to the meaning
of the words used the Southern
editor says his editorial was slight
ly misunderstood" In conclusion
he says:
$50 far from disparaging Cover
nor johnson, the Journal was and
is in the forefront of his admirers.
The fact that Secretary Schmahl is
a Republican gives all the more val
ue to his criticism so kindly and
courteously expressed. Nobody in
the south but loved Governor John
son and appreciated his high char
acter, and we rejoice that a similar
appreciation was felt among Cover
nor Johnson's friends in the north"

1He OC, TeCer 1rlDune chronicles a
sad sequel to joy ride in an auto,
the occupants consisting of Mr.. A.
M. Johnson, one of the leading dry
goods merchants of Spirit Lake,
Iowa. his wife, and their son and
his bride. The young couple were
on their honeymoon trip, and occu-
pied the front seat. They were
noticed passing through st. Peter a
little after 2 o'clock. When little
more that two miles from LeSueur,
they overlook John Cronan, who
was driving to that village with a
load of wheat. Mr.. Cronan had
turned to the side of the road to
allow the auto to pass. In attempt
ing to do this Mr.. johnson ran the
car too close to the edge of the en-
bankment, which was overgrown
with grass, and the ground gave
way under the weight of the ma
chine. The car went down the EN-.
bankment and as it turned over.
Mrs. johnson was thrown to the
ground the edge of the seat striking
her across the neck. almost severing
the head from the body and killing
her instantly. Her husbands ankle
was broken. but the two younger
people escaped without any serious
injury. The body of Mrs. johnson
was taken to LeSueur preparatory
to taking it back to Spirit Lake.
