of each the sign of the cross, say
ing the words: Remember, man.
that thou art dust and unto dust thou
shalt return The ashes used in
this ceremony are made by burning
the remains Of palms blessed on the
Palm Sunday Of the previous year.
In the blessings of the ashes four
prayers are usef, all Of them ancient,
and the ashes are sprinkled with
holy water and fumigated with in
cense. In earlier ages of peniten-
tial procession often followed the
rite Of the distribution of the ashes,
but this is not now prescribed.

TAKES ON RECIPROCITY
James Bower Says It Is Good Thing
for Farmer.

Ottawa, Ont, March LAS far as
the reciprocity agreement goes it has
the complete approval of western
farmers, but dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed at the smallness of the re-
duction in the duty upon agricultural
implements.
This was the statement today of
James Bower, president of the Can
adam National Council of Agricul-
ture, and of the united farmers of
Alberta, who is in Ottawa to urge
the government to grant in full the
demands made by farmers.
''The contention of some is correct,
that the agreement is but the first
step toward breaking down the whole
system of protection; farmers may
well hail it with unqualified salts
faction.
sBy opening up new markets the
agreement would without question
give great impetus to the agricultur-
al industry, particularly in western
Canada, and would prove equally ad-
vantageous to the farmers of eastern
Canada, especially in dairy product
and pay

The Young Brides First Discovery.

The Young Brides First Discovery.
Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one
long uninterrupted blissful honey
moon.
But alas! the young brides troubles
soon began, when she tried to reduce
the cost of living with cheap big can
baking powders.
She soon discovered that all she
got was lot for her money, and it
was not all baking powder, for the
bulk of it was cheap materials which
had no leavening power. Such pow
ders will not make light, wholesome
food. And because of the absence
of leavening gas, it requires from
two to three times as mush to raise
cakes or biscuits as it does of Calu-
met Baking Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you, of cheap baking powders, is
more than Calumet would be.
Cheap baking powder often leaves
the bread bleached and acid, some
times yellow and alkaline, and often
unpalatable. They are not always
of uniform strength and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet-the
perfectly wholesome baking powder,
moderate in price, and always uni
form and reliable Calumet keeps
indefinitely, makes cooking easy,
and is certainly the most economical
after all.

Spooner Drainage Bill Passes.

The first Afternoon session of the
house, in compliance with the Spoon
err resolution, which calls for com,
mittee meetings in the afternoon, was
a long, drawn out affair and aside
from the oratory over the abolish
ment Of capital punishment and state
conservation, as provided by the
Spooner bill, was filled with import
rat results. The Spooner bill; appro-
priating $4,000 and authorizing
and empowering and directing the
governor, the state auditor and the
attorney general to investigate into
the feasibility and practicability of
the construction of certain canals,
dikes, dams, storage reservoirs, to
promote and facilitate drainage, pro-
mote the public health and general
develop water power and internal
commerce and to report investiga-
lions along this line to the next leg
islature, finally passed by a vote of
95 to IT, This is one of the most
far reaching acts along conservation
lines probably ever passed by a state
legislature. If the plan in mind
eventually materializes, it will mean
the expenditure of millions of dollars
and the men behind the project say
that whatever the expense it will BE-
an investment that viii pay large re-
turns. Representatives O'Nei1l Matt
son and Robertson voted for the bill.
Other bills passed by the house were
the game and fish bill requiring nom
residents of Minnesota to take out
a license when they wish to fish with
hook and line at cost of one dollar;

(By z. A. WILSON,
8en4dji Pioneer Legislative Bures

st. Paul, March lit isn't likely
that there will ever be another off,
cial hanging in the state of Mime
sofa and it is just as probable that
from now on no murderers will ever
receive a pardon in this state. Late
yesterday afternoon, by vote of 95
to 10, the house passed the Mckenzie
bill, doing away with capital pun
ishment and a little later passed the
Keefe bill, taking away from the
board Of pardons the right to COM
mute or pardon any person convict
ed of first degree murder unless lin
nocence is established beyond a
doubt
1t is likely that the senate will
pass both bills and the governor is
certain to sign at least one of them.
George A. Mckenzie of Gaylord,
author of the measure doing away
with executions, read an exhaustive
argument against hanging, his strong
point being that the taking of life
for life has never had the effect of
decreasing or preventing crime
Other members spoke in favor of
abolishing the gallows and called at
tention to the fact that Governor
Eberhart, in his annual message,
urged the legislature to take such &C.
ton. In dramatic talk, full Of hui
man interest, Representative Knut-
son plead for the retention of the
death penalty, declaring that the
perpetrators of many heinous crimes
would otherwise ultimately obtain
freedom.
