Take Good Care of Nelson.

If a big, black, slick negro hap
pens to drop into your place about
noon, Mr.. Farmer do not set the
dogs on him or run him off, for he
is the state farm inspector, Nelson
Crews, of Kansas City, appointed by
the Republican Secretary of Agri-
culture. Take him into your par
lor while dinner is being prepared,
then invite him out into the dining
room and offer him a seat at the
right hand of the head of the house
just like Roosevelt would do. He
can talk to you intelligently about
ward politics in Kansas City, even
if he does not know anything about
Missouri farms. Shame on Mis-
souri, for such conditions. Mem
phis Democrat.

Should Locate the Truth.

President Taft in his message to
Congress, stated that the govern
ment paid the railroads nine cents
pound for hauling the mail. A
committee representing 199 rail-
roads declares that the government
pays less than two cents a pound
for hauling mail This is only a
difference of seven cents between
the two authorities. 1t seems to be
up to Congress to find out the
truth. & Slater Rustler.

Thief River Falls.-The final returns
on the contest for the division Of Red
Lake county show that the majority
for division will reach several hun
dred. The line of division runs east
and west across the county, dividing
it into two parts almost equal in lex
tent. Each one is larger than many
Southern Minnesota counties and, las
each is rich Red river valley soil and
we'll cultivated and without any waste
land, separate coun.J governments can
be easily maintained. The people of
the two sections have been In bitter
strife for many years on county mat
ters and this solution of the troubles
will divorce them and permit each to
care for its public business more con-
veniently than heretofore.
The north half will be known as
Pennington county and contains seven
teen townships of land. Thief River
Falls is the new county seat and the
name of the new county, Pennington,
has it's origin from the name of the
head Of the 500 railway system, which
makes this city it's northeastern head
quarters. Thief River Falls made the
new county gift of the city hall for
a county court house. This tended to
secure the support of the farmer vote
for the division proposition. This city
recently completed $4,000 audi
torium and had the city hall to dispose
of to the new county. AS soon as the
Governors proclamation is issued the
new commissioners will meet and or
ganize.

st. Paul. Holding that ma
jority of all the votes cast at an
election is necessary to declare a viii
lage "wet," the supreme court has re-
fused to allow the council of Osakis,
Minn., to grant a liquor license. The
case grew out of spirited election
on the license question held at Osakis
last March. OF the 26O votes cast at
the election, 100 were against license
and 120 favoring it.
Ten missing votes were cast for
other offices, but not on the license
question. William A. Peacock. a sa-
loonkeeper who was refused license
on the ground that the question did
not carry at the election, brought suit
in the district court of Douglas coun-
ty to require the council to issue q
license. The attorney general handled
the case for the state. The district
court decided in favor of the saloon
keeper and an appeal was taken to
the supreme court.

f Recent Drought Is
to Blame.

Washington, D. G. - The so-called
reduction in the price of meats is a
deliberate manipulation of the mar.
ket, according to DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry
OF the department of agriculture.
THE interests which manipulated
the prices upward" said DIR. Wiley
Temporarily have released their hold
on our throats for the purpose of get.
ting fresh grip. The so-called educa
tion in meats is fictitious. It's manipu
lation was deliberate, just as the in.
crease in prices was unjust, unreason
able and uncalled for by conditions
prevailing throughout the country
The prices were fictitious at top notch
because they were forced there arbi.
trarily by the interests.
Developments will show that the
interests are after some one. 1t may
be some Independent movement they
hope to drive from cover" .
Mr.. Wilson Unimpressed.
Secretary Wilson said that the an.
nounced reduction in prices was alb.
normal. He, said it was due to the
fact that the drought in the cattle
raising country had increased the cost
of hay. The farmer with cattle on his
hands must pay s35 a ton for his hay
and rather than do this he was sending
his cattle and sheep to market. This
accounted for the sudden tumble in
the prices. he said.
'This tumble is not at all normal
| and will not be permanent" declared
Secretary Wilson, ''but plentiful corn
| crop and plenty of grain will enable
the farmers to feed freely and we
should get a lower level of prices
Lower prices are certain to come, pro
vided that somewhere between the
farmer and the consumer there is nc
combination nor agreement to keer
prices up"
