GROW RICE IN GOPHER STATE
The Department OF Agriculture at
Washington, Says So.

Washington, Feb. That rice may
be proftably raised as far north as
the lower sections of Minnesota, and
that it may in the near future, be-
come an important crop of the central
northwestern states, is the statement
made by DR.. S. A. Knapp, of the de-
partment of agriculture, under whose
direction experiments in rice culture
have been conducted for several years
past.
Within the last week reports have
been received from experiments made
along the Mississippi river bottom lands
in southern Iowa, which convince Off
Gals of the agricultural department
that rice culture is feasible on practi-
cally all good wheat lands as far
north as the Twin Cities. DIR. Knapp
states that Japanese rice culture is
carried on as far north as the parallel
which would correspond with the north
ern boundry of Minnesota but he does
not encourage the idea that rice will
become an important crop as far north
as that, under prevailing conditions in
this country.
The experiments in Iowa have beer
restricted to Lee county. While the
crop suffered greatly from high water
it has been clearly demonstrated thai
rice has plenty of time to mature il
the northwest, and that it will thrive
and produce abundantly ON northwest
ern soil.

PURE MILK FOR WINDY CITY
Farmers and Oairyme1 Organize to
Bring About That End.

Especial TO The Free Press.I

Chicago. Feb. l.--As result of
the pure milk crusade inaugurated in
this city, plans to form an arganiza'
ton of the 5000 milk producers and
dairyman of Illinois, Indiana and Wis
consin who ship milk to the Chi
cago market, with the purpose of ask
ing the legislatures of Illinois and
Indiana for statutes requiring the APP
plication of the tubercuin test to all
mich cows. were formulated at a
meeting of dairymen and farmers held
in the Sherman House today.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
state inspection of milch cows by the
tuberculin test and the refusal of the
state authorities to allow the sale of
milk from infected cattle would dc
more toward securing pure milk for
Chicago than local ordinances or a
less sweeping system of inspection.
The program which has been out
lined tentatively at the convention is
to ask the Illinois legislature to pass
Il law compelling all cattle TO be SUD-
jected to the tuberculin test at the
expense of the state and to prohibit
the importation of cattle into the
state which cannot present certifi-
cate of good health signed by live
stock inspectors from the state from
which they have been shipped.
As result of the enforcement OF
the new pure milk ordinance in Chi.
cago, applications to have cows tested
flooded the health office, and it is
expected that within short time the
system of inspection will have been
so far completed as to assure the
purity of the entire supply. Butter
and cheese dealers have been given
two months in which to dispose OF
present stock before complying with
the law.

WILLIAM S. TAYLOR Is DEAD
Was Veteran Of Civil War and An
Old Resident Of Mankato.
Eror, Mop6ou.c Tottx
From Mondays DaIiS

William S. Taylor, who resided on
Clark street, died at Emmanuel hos
pital Saturday night, after a brief i'll
ness. He had been in failing health
for several yaers, but was able to be
about. He was born in Indiana coun-
ty, Penn, Sept. II, 1892, and was
married Sept l, 1859. His wife died
two years ago, but he is survived by
three sons, Scott, who lives i'll the
west. George, who is professional
contortionist, and Will, who resides at
home, and also by four grand children.
One of the latter, a young lady, has
been keeping house for her grandfather
and uncle.
Mr. Taylor enlisted i'll Company II,
l77th Pennsylvania militia, on Oct
%, 1862, and was discharged Aug. l,
1865. He was Il member of Wilkin
post, G. a. r. For the past quarter
of century he had made his home
i'm AIankatO. He was a carpenter by
trade, and was a good workman, IL
pleasant man to meet honest and in
dustrious. and well liked by all who
knew him. His death will cause re-
greet among all who enjoyed his ac-
quaintance.
Funeral services will be held at
the residence tomorrow afternoon at
two o'clock. and will be in charge of
Alexander Wilkin post. Rev. Peter
Clare will preach the sermon. and the
interment will be made at Glenwood

of trees were blown off all over the
city.
Schools Were Dismissed.
Owing to the cold wave and the de-
creased attendance OH account of the
storm. the school board gave instruc-
tions that the public schools be dis
missed for the day. and this was done
at nine o'clock in both the high school
and grades. The schools will not as
sembe again until Monday morning.
The normal school closed at noon for
the day, and there was no session of
the kindergarten department this morn
ing.
The street railway company made a
gallant effort to operate its cars, and
did SO, but they were unable to follow
any schedule. The wheels slipped on
the rails in spite of all efforts to
| sweep the tracks, for the snow i'm
mediately drifted upon the tracks
again. Two cars were attached to
each other, to get more power. and III
! this way fair service was maintained.
Omaha freight train No. 23 from st.
| Paul arrived at 2 Il. M, and No. 10,
also from st. Paul arrived at ) Il. M.
and both tied up in this city. The
| kasota switch crew also got caught
here and was unable to return home.
Nothing was heard of passenger trains
II, and 10, for the north, or from
the twin cities. There was no way
of communicating with division head,
quarters at st. James.
! The local telephone companies put
every available man at work this
morning making repairs, and the same
was true of the electric light company,
and the telegraph companies. Every
/ effort is being made to open the lines,
and the railroads are also making
every effort to get trains through, and
the blockade is not likely to be of
! long standing. Old settlers recall how
a storm shut the city off for nearly
/ a week, in the winter of lSSO-'Sl.
In view of the danger of accident
with so many telephone wires broken
+! and crossing the electric light wires,
| Mayor Andrews has directed the Man
kato Gas and Electric Light company
not to turn on the street lights to-
night. He has also notified the tefe:
phone companies to push their work
of repair so that the lights can be
turned on tomorrow night as usual.
Owing to poles being across the
track i'll West Mankato. the street
cars could not be operated beyond
the slough on Front street today.
The rural route mail carriers did
not 90 out this morning. owing to
the fearful storm. They will get out
tomorrow if the storm abates.
Omaha passenger train No. ). due
from the north at 1890 a. m.. arrived
at noon. and No. ;. due at 1890
p. M. from the north. arrived at
$50 p. IN. No. ) took another engine
and went south. and No. 3 followed it.
4 Nothing has been heard from the
trains from the south. and the wires
were still all down late this after
noon.

"HELLop cuRTEsY.

Apart from the out and-out anger. rudeness, and half-suppressed or wholly unsmothered irritation winch disfigure such a multitude of tele phone communications there are a thousand minor habits which violate the fundamental laws of social amen Ky and business as well.
 Take. for instance. that common custom of the perfect stranger" who calls you up on the phone and says: "who is this? Who am taking tor before he has told who he is himself.
 Suppose a drummer should go into a store where he didn't know a soul in the building, and should address the proprietor or the manager with Who are you anyhow?"
 Whats your name?
 How big an order do think he would take
 When a party whom you don't know introduces himself to your acquain- tance over the telephone, he owes it to himself and you to tell who he is before asking who you are.
 The initiative belongs to him, it Is he. not you, who is seeking the in. teiview, and it's only common g. nse and common courtesy that he should tell his name before prying into yours.
 He would do that if he were in your presence; why doesn't he do il over the phone?

NEGLECTED MILITIA.

Of all the civilized people on the globe the citizens of this great repub' lie are the most indifferent and care. less as to their national safety.
 When the war between the sections broke out in 1861 the United States had no army of account. and the south. of course. had none On both sides dependence was necessarily on volunteers.
 The young men on bvth sides rai lied to their respective standards, but they were entirely ignorant of mili tary duties. Fortunately. on both sides there were trained and educated oni cens, but even with the best instruc. tions a long time is required to bring raw troops up to standard cf mill taIy efficiency.
 After the first battle of Manassas or Bull Run in 1861, both the north crn and southern armies in Virginia remained untll the next May prac- tically inactive, their respective com. auanders being afraid to trust them in battle until they had been more thor oughly molded into military form.
 If the American volunteers at the beginning of that war had been pI,ted against the trained troops of power. ful military nation, they would have been terribly defeated. and that is just what would happen tomorrow fl our volunteers were called upon to meet a powerful invasion by the train ed armies of Japan or of Germany.
 In the matters of patriotism and courage our young men would be un. surpassed, but with the eception of few special state organizations which have enjoyed extreme care and lav ish bounty from their states. our mil. 5tia are wholly uncared for, and, bar. ring a pittance which they get rren ahe1r respective state governments. they are expected to pay their own expenses and be ready at all times to serve the state or the nation al the first drum tap.
 In country like ours. where our regular army is mere skeleton on which it's is expected to hang the militia. and where the main depend enee for defense would be the volun 'eers, there ought to be the very greatest possible provision by both
