The Commissioners of Labor at
Madison is having such good succe, S
in supplying farmers throughout The
state with help that he has decided
to seek renters for all farmers desir-
ing to rent their farms. Any one
owning a farm who desires tenant
or any one desiring to rent farm
should write to the Commissioner of
Labor at Madison who also has on
file many applications from persons
desiring work on farms. Those
farmers who have not yet been sup
piled should write him soon. The
Bureau of Labor is an institution
main tanned by the state and it's SER
vices can be secured without cost
either to the laboring man or the
farmer. The Commissioners has
hundreds of applications from young
men and married men all exper-
fenced in farm work who desire
work on farms. Farmers should
avail themselves OF this opportunity
TO get help before the spring work
begins because these applicants will
seek work elsewhere and will not be
available later in the year.

RAD AND INDUSTRY.

On account Of the decision upholding
the section Of the New York State in
surance laws prohibiting a company from
doing more than $15O,OO0!OO0 of new
business in one year, the New York Life
Insurance Company will dismiss on May
81 about 1000 of its agents. This step
is likely to be followed by the withdraw
al of some Of tho foreign agencies, but
an effort will be made to have the law re-
pealed.
Since the insurance department of the
State of low has been barring certain
Minnesota insurance companies from do.
ing business in that State, Senator NJ. L.,
Fosseen, Minneapolis, offered a retalia-
tory measure, under which the companies
from Iowa will not be granted licenses
in Minnesota under similar conditions.
The bill applies to all States which make
regulations that would exclude Minnesota
companies. a...

the counties along the eastern border of
Wyoming are to be thrown open at once

cannot be irrigated and will be of use.
therefore, for dry farming only. Those
who take the full 800 acres entries must
make an attempt to cultivate the land,
while those who go in on the smaller
holdings will not be compelled by the
law to do so.
The business life of London was all
agog over the opening of the new depart
ment store of the American merchant,
Selfridge, formerly Of Chicago, who bold
~ advertised his intention of showing
the Britishers how the Yankee does things
in that line. Immense throngs of people
crowded the big store owing to attractions
offered, but at the same time the leading
London houses in dry goods accepted the
challenge by inserting big advertisements
in the papers and also drawing crowds.
Hitherto they had not used the daily pa
pers extensively.

two months ago, because of holding

paid.
Senator L. E. Putnam's bill, which
commits the Legislature to the policy of
establishing and maintaining an agricul-
tural department in one high school in
each Minnesota county, was passed by
the Senate with only two dissenting votes.
The bill carries an appropriation of $50

The nine persons had started out

secured the rowboat in midstream had
filled with water and sank. None Of
the occupants could swim. and they
were swept down the river to their

TRIAL OF MRS. BOYLE.
Not Taken in Behalf OF ABB

Relying entirely Upon their conten-
ton that the Pennsylvania courts have
no jurisdiction in her case, counsel for
Mrs. James Boyle, charged with aiding
and abetting the kidnapping OF BILLY"
Whitla, Friday refused to offer any ev-
idence in her behalf. The lain OF the
prosecution that Mrs. Boyle p%artici-
pated in Pennsylvania in a conspiracy
to kidnap the boy will be combattcd
by the defense, which will endeavor to
have her turned over to the %authori-
ties at Cleveland.
The states testimony was mainly
the same as that given Thursday in
the trial of james Boyle, but some add
ditional witnesses testified about n
connection Of Mrs. Boyle with the
abduction.
One of the Cleveland policemen tes-
tilted that she said when arrested: II
am the frail little woman who plan
ned the whole thing"
The finding of the ransom money
secreted in her clothing also was tes-
titled to. The woman proprietor of the
Granger apartments in Cleveland
identified Boyle and Mrs. Boyle as the
couple who rented an apartment from
her under the name of Walter.
Throughout the proceedings Friday
Boyle and his wife apparently desired
to bring out the name OF another par
ty said to have been connected with
the case. Boyle at one time said
II want to tell the whole truth
about this case now. I want the whole
thing cleared up. The whole blame
was on someone else"

said:

Larkin a few days ago was sentenced

charge of postoffice robbery.
That the two fu%gitives had help from

bars had been sawed clean off and an
outer bar bent downward. Two blan-
kets fastened together enabled the flu
gitives to climb from their cell on the
second fiOor to the ground. ~
Larkin is tall. being over 6 feet, and
has bushy, brown hair, heavily streak

built and his shoulders are stopped.
Voightis about 5 feet 6 inches in height
