| on the cows being retained as security. The
plan is along the line of enlightened self-inter
est, for nothing would build up country quick
er than that every farmer who is willing and
able to take care of cows should be supplied
and the would soon pay for themselves
Furthermore, only the best cows will be pur-
chased, those which will give profit of from
$50 to 500 in milk and butterfat
The planet Mars will be much nearer the
Earth this summer than usual and some en-
thusiastic astronomers have made plans for
i trying to signal to that planet, suggestion
which has taken great hold on the popular
imagination. There has been considerable spe-
culation as to whether Mars is an older a
younger world than ours. If older, signal
from Earth might be answered, but the con-
versation could never go any further. If Mars
| is younger as worlds CO. the Martians have
done wonderfully we'll if they are as far advanc-
ed as were the earth's inhabitants when Noah
built the ark.
The Christian Science church is at present
all torn up over the question of whether Mrs. |
Eddy, the so-called founder of the Sect is alive,
and if alive, merely puppet in the hands of |
designing clique. True it is that she has lived
| in a house of mystery for some years, and has
not been seen except by the inner circle of the
church, and that every attempt is made to con-
ceal her real condition, and throw about her
life great deal of mystery Possibly it is the
intention of the inner circle of the church to
try to establish that Mrs. Eddy has conquered
49, A.,
told on both sides on the question of whether
Mrs. Eddy is alive or dead shows that there is
much being said and done that does not COM
port with twentieth century America.

A ST. Paul politician is credited with the
following in speaking about the game of politics
and those who make business of following it:
"My profession we'll followed generally ends,
like that of the poker player, in poverty at the
last. Today in St. Paul an ex-lieutenant gov
ernor of this state, and one of the best it ever
had is working for $50 per month as crier in a
court; and by the way he has to have that $50 to
keep the wolf from the door. Many Minnesota
people know the man. Thirty years ago he was
known the most brilliant Southern
| Minnesota city possessed. He a of
| imposing presence and fine address, but the
political game beat him. Not far away is an
other public man whose toes, politically speak
| ing, are turned up to the daisies who owes the
banks of certain city $4,000 for money bor-
rowed to line the pockets of the grafters who
sung his ."-Minneota Mascot
very curious case is being argued this
week before the United States court of appeals,
which is now holding it's sessions in the federal
building at St. Paul. It is we'll known that I'M
der our laws the United States mails have a |
monopoly of carrying letters, and that it would
be in violation of law for any individual or cor
poration to set up in that kind of business in
competition to Uncle Sam. In the statutes de-
signed to give the government this monopoly
the word packet" which is generally regarded
as being synonymous with package" is used, |
and all prohibitions with regard to persons |
other than the government transporting letters
from place to place also apply to packets" un-

think But as everybody knows, the express |
companies have set up active opposition to |
