Corn is cultivated to keep the soil
in good condition, to save moisture
and to destroy weeds. To get good
crop of corn, it is essential that the
plants have plenty of available plant
food every day. Plant food is made
available in our soils largely by the
decomposition Of vegetable matter.
Decomposition of vegetable matter
takes place only in the presence Of
heat, air and moisture.
Cultivation of the soil checks the
evaporation of moisture; consequently,

The following clipping from the
Mortified News shows how Will
mar is being misrepresented and
maligned abroad thru the persist
ent efforts of the crack-brained,
irresponsible Individual who oper-
ates little print-shop on Pacific
avenue and who sends out little
paper to few people in the city
and to exchanges about the state
every week. This Individual ap-
pears to be laboring under the hal
lucination that he is in great bodi-
~ danger, this fear, no doubt. be-
ing born in his own mind by the
thoughts of all the lying ISLANDERS
and willful Misrepresentation of
worthy citizens with which he
has filled his columns. If Willmar
did not have an exceptionally pa
tlent and forbearing population it
would no doubt long ago have done
as other places did where this in

themselves of an unbearable nui-
sance. Here is the Mortified News
EDITORIAL:
The News referred some weeks
ago to the man-handling of Will
mar editor by the mayor of that
place. Subsequently the action of
the mayor has, it is learned,
been approved by the common coun-
Gil, and he has been voted a contin.

amount authorized by the charter
to meet the emergencies incident t
his peculiar Interpretation CT the
duties of his Office. 1t is further
alleged that the mayor has proftee
from contracts. with the municipal
ity he governs, contrary to law.

finding that the courts afforded hin
no protection, has bought pistol
He has already had occasion, IN or
der to protect his person, to bring
it into play. 1t is also learned tina
he is threatened with criminal pro
secution for libel because he repro
duced in his own paper some com

the situation, which are not denied
1.-The News has brought some O.
these allegations to the notice O.
the Attorney General. 1t wishes t
direct his further attention to tn
more recent developments and t.
inquire in all seriousness whethe
he does not think that the situation
is one which requires the interven

''Be it further remembered tina
this is all because the editor in ques

because he has ventured to censur
officials who do not enforce tn

ACCUSED OF KILLING HARP
John r. Deitz, Wife and Son Held or
Murder Charge.

Winter. Wis. Oct. 11.-Charges OF
murder in the first degree were formal.
ly laid against John F. Deitz, the Cam
eron dam defender; Leslie Deitz, his
son, and Mrs. John F. Deitz, his wife,
by the verdict of a %coroner's jury
which met here to Investigate the kill
ing of Deputy Oscar Harp during the
assault on the Deitz cabin Saturday.
The jury was assembled by Coroner
W. H. Noyes and listened to evidence
from a score of eyewitnesses to the
events at Cameron dam Saturday
when Harp, one of Sheriff Madden's
deputies, was shot and instantly killed
while trying to reach the lumber pile
near the Deitz cabin.
The c%oroner's jury found that the
shot which killed Harp was fired from
the roof of the Deitz barn. AS the
members of the jury were unable to
find from the evidence who fired the
shot a blanket responsibility was laid
on Deitz, on his wife and son.

All Disturbances Suppressed

NOW IN UNO|SPUTEO CONTROL
oHicia Of the New Republic Issues a
Statement of the Aims of the
Provisional Government.

Lisbon, Oct. S.-The establishment
of a republic in Portugal is an accom-
plished fact. For a city that has just
passed through the throes of a bloody
revolution and sustained a lombard
ment Lisbon is in cloudless sunshine
and wears a smiling aspect.
The Republican flag lutters on near
~ every building and from every vehi.
Gle; the streets are thronged with
promenaders, including a good sprink-
ling of tourists with guide books in
hand; shops and Offices have been re.
opened and business generally has
been resumed. The only evidence of
the recent perturbation are small
bodies of troops stationed in the prin-
clpal open spaces of the city and the
passage now and then of Red Cross
ambulances.
The noticeable outward signs of the
new regime are the presence every
where of the green and red flag of the
republic and the complete disappear.
ance of King Manuel's portrait from
public exhibition.
The most interesting nan in Por.
tugal at the present moment is the
new president, Theophile Braga, who
may be said without exaggeration to
be the father not only of this revolu-
ton, but Of that in Brazil, having by
his standing as a professor of history
and philosophy prepared the ground
for both movements.
Aims of New Government.
Senior Bernardo Machado, the min.
lister of foreign affairs in the new gov
eminent, discussing the aims of the
republic, said:
THE provisional government has
before it a great duty involving much
work. 1t has, in effect, a country to
make owe Among other programmes
we can say that we will endeavor to
put in operation the programme of the
republican party. This includes a
policy of reform both in the local ad.
ministration and in the government of
the colonies.
THE financial budget is to be equal

honesty and fairness. The national
wealth will be developed.
Freedom of the press will be as
sured and all star chamber methods
and opportunist laws will be abolished,
Public instructions will be completely
secularized, relieved from religious
control and the religious congrega.
lions will be suppressed. We plan the
establishment of a broad system of
public instruction, both primary and
advance, under governmental endow'
ment."
A decree has been issued exiting
the royal family and ordering religious
organizations to quit the country in
side of t~wenty-four hours. The royaI
family is now at Gibraltar.
