We commence on time tomorrow the October Sale of Chinawares. The annual event that housewives wait for. You who buy China in the October China Sale this year may consider 1t an investment rather than an expense. Look over your china closets-take in the side board-look into the kitchen and the pantry and sum up all the Chinaware and Glassware you lack and you'll total up the economy result a-smiling.
 The China store was never be- fore so bountifully supplied with beautiful wares. A visit to the stocks will disclose truly a vast ar ray-and we would rather you should investigate these opportuni- ties than that we should praise them. We only sate briefly that the savings average from 25 per cent to 50 per cent. We list here some of the headings:

BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING:
100000 FOR A NEW SCHOOL

From Tuesdays Daily.
The board of education held a special
meeting yesterday afternoon at the
office of the president, DR.. Holbrook, to
arrange for the special bond election, in
accordance with the suggestions of the
attorney general.
Mr.. Davies moved to reconsider both
of the resolutions adopted at the pre-
vious meeting of the board, on the
subject, and this was carried.
The board thought that $4,000 would
be too small an amount to complete
and equip the new high school build
ing, and the need for an addition to
the Franklin building is becoming
acute, and will require $4,000. 1t was
therefore decided to submit a PROPOSE
tion to the voters authorizing a loan
of 100000 from the state, to be paid
back in annual installments of $1,000
over a period of twenty years. If
that sum is not needed, it will not
have to be taken, and no part of it
will draw interest until actually
wanted.
Mr.. Scherer moved to adopt a reso-
luton providing for a loan of $780,
900 from the state, if needed, to bear

interest at -four per cent, and to be
paid back in twenty years, and fixing
the tim for the election as Monday.
March 81, from 0 a. m. until 5 D. m
This was adopted unanimously.
The usual polling places were de.
cided upon, the basement of the Frank.
lin school for the first precinct, the
lower hall of the Union school for the
second, the lower hall of the high
school for the third, and the lower
hall of the Pleasant Grove school for
the fourth.
The following judges of election were
selected:
First precinct: NJ. Jost, A.. Bashaw,
III. F. Leonard.
Second precinct: p. B. Sparrow.
Clark Keysor, w. d. Tompkins.
Third precinct: w. w. Paddock 7
l.. Champlin, A. NJ. Smith.
Fourth precinct: Robert s. Pritch.
ard, A. C. Barney, Murray Pearson.
The president and secretary were in.
structed to prepare and post and pub
lish the notices of election, and the
secretary was instructed to procure the
necessary ballots.

POLITICAL G0SSIP.

The Minneapolis Journal says: Judge
J. H. Quinn of Fairmont, presiding
Judge in the seventeenth judicial dis
trict is proposed by the Bricelyn Senti-
mel for one of the four places on the
supreme bench, to be filled at the COM
ing election. The same paper proposes
Senator F. F.. Putnam of Blue Earth
for Judge Quinn's place. This is an
other place where the constitution bars
senator's. When the present senate
voted in 1907 to raise the salaries
of district judges, the senators made
themselves ineligible for judgeships nm.
til a year after the expiration of their
terms. But for this trouble it is likely
that Senator c. j.. GundersOn of Alex
andria would have been agreed upon
to succeed Judge l.. l.. Baxter in the
seventh district.
C. w. Gillian of Window was in the
twin cities the other day, and said he
would try for the senatorial nomina-
ton in the Jackson-C Cottonwood dis
trict. He was a candidate four years
ago, but was beaten by Senator Fl,
f. Hanson of Window. Senator Han
son is now postmaster. and is not cX-
pected to run for the senate again
Mr.. Gillian is a county option man.

August Pomeranke Receivers Big Sum
On Canadian Land.

From Tuesdays Daily.
August Pomeranke of Lyra has Just
won a big suit in Saskatchewan, Cah-
ada. Five years ago he bought 22j
acres of land neal Saskatoon, paying
Sc an acre for it. and paid no further
attention to the matter, and did not
hear Of the boom at Saskatoon, and
how land values were mounting high.
A real estate man at Saskatoon wrote
TO him at intervals, wanting TO handle
the land for him, but not telling him
how prices were advancing. Mr.. Pom
eranke paid no attention to the letters
until an urgent one came m day, in
sell the land at five per cent commits
sion on Mr.. Pomeranke's asking price
for the land and ten per cent on all
that he could get above that. Mr..
Iomeranke answered, saying that he
would sell the land at $50 an acre,
and that the agent could have five
per cent on the first $1,000 and 2%
per cent on the balance, and ten per
cent on all that could be gotten in eX-
cess of $50 an acre.
Several days later, Mr.. Pomeranke
received a telegram from the agent,
saying that he had sold the land at
$50 an acre. Mr.. Pomeranke thought
that he was through with the matter,
until he got q letter from another party
some time ago, asking him to send on
o ratification. He her became sus-
p%icious and engaged Fl. l.. & j.. w
Schmitt to look into the matter for
him, and II. l.. Schmitt took a trip to
Saskatoon, and uncovered "a situation
that at once resulted in Mr.. Pomeranke
starting Il lawsuit that has resulted
in his Just getting Judgment for $25,
100 and interest.
1t appears that the real estate agent
when he found out at what a low price
Mr.. Pomeranke was wiling to sell, took
another man into partnership with him
and they bought the land in the other
mans name, so as to void any sus-
picions on Mr.. Pomeranke's part. They
were TO divide the profits. The agent
then sold one-half of his half interest
Ito Il bank, and the other man sold
out for 1925 an acre, but only ac'
counted to his partner for $50 an acre
profit. Afterwards the real estate mar
learned of his partners deception and
sued him for the balance of the profit
The defendant put in the claim thai
the plaintiff could not recover because
his hands were not clean, having de
ceived Mr.. Pomeranke. and sent fOl
ratification papers. Mr.. Pomeranke suei
all three parties. and got judgment
ard no commissions are allowed thu
agent.

FARMERS WASTE MILLIONS II
MINNESOTA PRODUCT.

immigration Commissioner George
Welsh is still enthusiastic over the
flax straw future of Minnesota. Since
receiving the sample and statement
from Senator Kmute Nelson he has
made inquiries as to the possibilities
alongthis line in Minnesota. He DE-
clared yesterday that there is no limit
to the wealth this new industry NAV
bring into the stare if everything is
as represented TO Senator Nelson by
the inventor, Robinson.
millions of tons of the straw nave
been wasted, burned, in this state.
Even If the straw were worth only
80 q ton that would mean an enor-
nous saving to the farmers. In reality
it is worth at present, and there is no
reason to look for a drop of any i'm
portance for a long time. 800 a ton.
Every acre in Minnesota planted to
flax will produce at least two IONS of
straw, and in general it will average
double that.
Last year S45O,OOO acres of flax
were planted in this state. At two
tons TO the acre that means 9Uv.O O
tons OF straw worth $500 a ton. or
$3.50, 900 for the entire output. This
vast wealth, as | understand, is made
available to Minnesota farmers through
the invention of Robinson, who has
perfected Il process that does with
straw in four or five hours what for
merly required four or five days. In
addition he has found it possible to
Use straw for linen that could not be
spun under the old process. As a re-
suit practically every pound of straw
grown in Minnesota is valuable either
for linen or binding Irvine.
THE statement of Robinson comes
with the Endorsement of Senator Mel
son and therefore should bear weight.
Further investigation will at once be
made to confirm the report. If it is
found TO he as represented at present
it is probable that a large number of
Minnesota farmers will start raising
flax. AS is well known, this grain is
so hard on the soil that it cannot be
raised year after year on the same
land. About once in five or six years
is as often as the soil will produce
flax. Fertilizing does not seem to help
much. However, any other grain can
be readily raised following the crop of
flax. The greatest danger from flax
cultivation is the liability of scatter
ing obnoxious weed seed, as mustard.
This risk might be safely run, however.
