nesota the republicans endorsed
Taft and backed the new tariff" To
be sure the Mesaba is not rightly
in Minnesota-except when tax
time comes around, but from an &C.
quaintance with our Minnesota ex.
changes we never realized that
either TAFT or the tariff was an issue
in the late campaign.

THE front page of the last issue
of the Mesaba Ore of Hibbing was
we'll worth the reading, containing
a number of interesting articles
from the pens of prominent Hib.
bingites on timely topics, contri-
buted in order that the "old man
hereof" might have ten day rest
to hike tor the north country and
turn flap-jacks for the boys in the
hunting camp. The front page of
the Ore has for some time past
been devoted to "near editorial' ut
terances, but the last issue was not
lacking in interest to tn ose who ap.
preciate good reading.
HAVE you got $35.O1 you can call
your own? If not, according to
government statistics somebody
has got some of your portion of the
wealth supposed to belong to each
citizen. According to treasury re-
ports just issued each citizen
should be possessed of thirty-five
silver simoleons and one measly
copper cent-just six cents more
than he was supposed to have had
one year ago. But considering the
fact that the cost of living has near
ly doubled in the last twelve months
it is no disgrace to find that when
your debts are paid you have the
copper cent as the menento of your
portion of the governments wealth.
i'm igration of Wisconsin,, asserts
that in Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin there still exist 100000
acres of undeveloped fertile soil;
land enough upon which to grow
as much wheat as is today pro-
|duced in the United States, upon
which might be grown as much
oats, barley and rye as is today
produced in the entire country,
lands capable of growing all the
vegetables now grown in the United
States. 1t is not lack of land that
threatens the country with a food
famine; it is lack of agricultural en-
thusiasm, the leaving of the farm
for the city and a predominance of
that spirit which we have heard re-
fo~ro1 ~ 40 U1o1;ooooO IN tho ~, #
! of our rising generation.

SEARs-ROEBUCK have declared a
divident of 1913 per cent. Not so
horribly bad, considering the fact
that Sears-Roebuck, in common
with every mail order house, ex-
pend hundreds of thousands of
dollars annually in advertising
just throws it's money away. Only
for that the dividend might have
been doubled; or might it have
been cut in two, from the fact that
every dollar spent in judicious add
vertising brings ten dollar bills to
the till of the live business interest
A SUIT to determine the boundary
line between Minnesota and Wis
consin, growing out of the illegal
fishing cases in Lake Pepin, has
been authorized by the United States
supreme court. If Minnesota wins
she should then institute suit tor
the annexation of another strip in
Guiding the site of Superior. She
would then have all that will go
with the new steel plant under con-
struction on Minnesota soil, but the
great bulk of the benefit of which
will rebound to the Wisconsin side
of the St. Louis river.

to cause us to wonder what has be-
come of that famous federal libel

by the Indianapolis News relative

IN the republican campaign ad-
dresses in this city it was tipped off
to the voters that a just andequitable
re-apportiontnent could never be
had with the democrats in the next
legislature to hamper the good in
tentions of the republican party.

Much human E;;il is sent from
Prague to Americ; It is collected
by hair merchants, Il Gl.arly licensed,
who make trips thloug!l the country,
going from house to house to induce
peasant women and girls to part with
their tresses. The price paid depends
upon the length of the hair and the
color, principally the latter. The en-
tire head Of hair is not sold at one
time, usually but one braid being dis
posed of at once, leaving the other
to be cut off about four years later.
The price paid for braids varies from
81 to $21 each. Prices paid by the
pound very from $1160 to $50; the
latter price being paid for blond or
gray hair, ranging from "a to %
inches in length. All OF the native
hair is shipped in its natural state,
without being bleached or dyed. The
estimated annual exports are $4,000
pounds.-Consular Reports.
