Hamptons. ut Is not an old
residence city like Dresden or Munich.
1t is Il comparatively new city, like
Cleveland or Milwaukee. Indianapolis
or Kansas City. It's population was
but $4,000 in 1871. 1t now is 100000.
Dusseldorf too, IS an industrial city
of mills. factories and workshops. 1t
might be as unaluring as Pittsburg.
It might be ruled by business men IN
their own interests MS are most OF our
American cities; it might be built
without beauty and suffer from the
corruption that has brought shame to
Pittsburg, Philadelphia, San Francisco,
Denver Cincinnati and Il score more.
lSut none of these things is true ol
Dusseldorf.
This Industrial city is one of the
best governed cities In the world. II
has dreamed dreams and dared to
carry them into execution. 1t IS al
most as beautiful as Washington, as
full OF the JOY OF living as Pnrls, ana
Is managed with more scrupulous nom
esty, more scientific efficiency and
more devoted pride than almost any
American business corporation. Inc
city Is built for the comfort and con-
venicnce of its people. 1t Is designed
as master architects might design
worlds fair to which all mankind was
invited, for education, recreation ana
art.
"But the thing that most distin-
guishes Dusseldorf Is this-her people
and her officials seem to appreciate
that congestion Of population has made
it necessary for the city to own many
things and do many things. And these
German citizens understand, too, that
the things the city does not own must
be regulated and controlled to prevent
them harming city or citizens.
dusseldorf does more things for its
people than any city | know. 1t owns
its street railroads and the controlling
interest in Il system of interurban rail
roads: it owns its harbors and its
docks and its slaughter houses. its gas.
crates three separate banking and loan
cral restaurants and milk depots; and
owns and rents suburban villas and
large apartment houses; ii is great

1t possesses art galleries,an opera house

CAMPAIGN COMMENT.

Governor Eberhart will do all he
can to secure legislation changing the
present primary election law. He holds
it is inadequate as it does not secure
party nomination within the party. In
proof of this he calls attention to
fragrant violations of the law at the
recent election"
The Governor has not decided as to
the exact nature of the suggestions he
is to make to the legislature if re-
elected, but he has several plans un-
der consideration.-St. Paul Dispatch,
Sept. 26.
The rank and file of the democratic
party are getting tired of the boss
rule methods of Mr.. Day and the
kitchen cabinet, and are about ready
to insurge and their Insurgency will
mean advantage to the present cover.

The fish known as the lula. Of India

a place for the eggs the lula beats
back the rushes and bites off the
weeds. The eggs are then spread out

water. and the male mounts guard
over them. They are large and of a

the yolk of each egg gives them their
buoyancy. The eggs. thus freely ex.
posed to the warmth of the sun. hatch

WHAT CONSERVATION MEANS.

WHAT CONSERVATION MEANS.
Have you as a voter really consid-
cred what the present conservation
movement would have meant to this
state had it been conceived thirty
Minnesota had governor like Gov.
Eberhart, with his advanced ideas on
the conservation of the states natural
resources, the farmer would not to-
day have to pay the freight on lum-
Der from the western coast with
which to build his house, barn, gran
airy and other farm buildings? Had
Mr.. Eberhart been governor then
there would at this time be millions of
dollars worth of Minnesota pine still
standing in the northern wilds ready
to be converted into useful material,
instead of having been otherwise care.
lessly frittered away.
Had we had a governor like Mr..
Eberhart thirty years ago, the states
mineral deposits would have been safe
guarded in such manner that the
revenue therefrom would make it pos
itively unnecessary to levy a cent Of
direct tax for revenue to sustain the
state government.
Had Mr.. Eberhart been governor at
that time to advocate his ideas, the
stata would now have a thorough sys-
tenn of drainage, and our water
courses would be perfectly conserved.
His ideas advanced thirty years ago
would have put to practical use the
mGllions of dollars worth of wasted
labor that has been wasted In hap
hazard road construction, and this
state would today be enjoying the
best system of highways known to
the western hemisphere. Think of
these things, voters when you go to
the polls.

who had been staying with farmers
in that portion of Home, but myster

had evidently committed suicide at

of his lifeless body, as it was in an

carriers Of the rural delivery mail
service are now required by the de-
partment to execute vouchers for
United States pensioners residing on
their routes, for which service they
are to receive 25 cents for each
voucher executed. The establish

vice resulted in the discontinuance
of %. $50 fourth class postoffices. the

thorized to execute pension vouch-

to the pensioners congress provided
that carriers of the free delivery
service should do the work.
. Referring to the recent death of
Joseph Fischer, the Morton Enter
prise says that the Fischer family,
Of which Joseph was the only child.
came to Renville county in an early
day and took a homestead of which
the younger Fischer. during his
younger and manhood years, refused
to part with. During the Indian
massacre of 1862 the family lost
everything for the maintenance of
their livelihood and during that
stormy period was forced to flee for
their lives at the hands of the saw
ages. They returned to the home
stead later and by hard work and
perseverance acquired real estate
that amounted to an independent
fortune when the old folks passed
away several years ago. Joseph
Fischer was one of the heaviest tax
payers in Renville county. one of the
directors of thesState Bank of North
Redwood and a valuable asset in
