Governor Harmon, of Ohio, was

Governor Harmon, of Ohio, was a
guest of the Minnesota Democrats
this week and is said to have made
a favorable impression, tho the state
is generally considered as being fav-
orable to Wilson. Governor Harmon
will have strong support for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination, and
is said to be of presidential size, "
but it is not written in the stars that
Ohio shall furnish the next president.
Corrupt machines dominant both of
the old parties in Ohio, and that state
should no longer be the "mother of

$3.50 A SQUARE FOOT


of land in the heart of New York
city for the fabulous price of mil
lion dollars brings sharply to mind the
value of land, and brings reminiscent
ly to mind how the majority of US,
or our fathers or grandfathers, escaped
being millionaires because they did
not have faith in the land, in certain
land they might as we'll have had as
another.
Tnis latest and record topping sale
in New York concerned tiny plot at
the corner of Broadway and Thirty
fourth street, which of course is the
busiest and certainly the Doisiest
corner in the world. The tract adjoins
Macy's department store and contains
less than twelve hundred square feet,
less than half the size of Manhattan
business lots as it is. And for this
valuable piece of land the present
owner was willing to pay $3.50 a
square foot. Up to this time $500
was the New York record, held by a
corner of Wall street.
Less than ten years ago tire Broad
way and Thirty fourth street bit was
sold for 1915. OOC; it has tripled in
value in that short space of time.
And so it goes with land values the
country over; it is but because mill
lion was involved and a Broadway
corner that this particular sale appears
so tremendous. There is not a man
of US evermoving onward Americans,
having reached fifty years of age,
certainly not one who has reached
seventy-fve, but has stood at some
corner of the earth, where if he had
planted his foot firmly. and acquired
the land within eye shot. might have
been a millionaire. Any man who
has lived in st. Paul fifty years-it
could almost be reduced to twenty
five years-has had the opportunity
were his faith in land as great as it
should have been, to have filled his
pockets with gold. Fifty years ago
Chicago was little more than a mud
swamp, San Francisco sand lot,
and New York itself was held lightly.
This very corner could have been pur-
chased no doubt for FIVE figures If not
four.
But we are waking up. No man to-
day but knows that if he buys of the
scant land that is left to buy of, if he
"claims" his own from the yet un-
entered quarter. sections. or buys any,
where in The large Northwest, he may
rest assured that the years will bring
him. if not smillions.. at least immense
returns on his Investment. Once there

some Dutch PATRON, on the very corn

HAND BELL RINGERS
SCORE A SUCCESS

The Epworth League alvavs
makes good when it promises de-
hghtful entertainment. This was es-
peclally true last Saturday evening
when the Imperial Hand Bell Ring
ers presented a superior musical en-
tertainment at the Methodist Episco-
pal church The company was COM
posed of ten artists, the conductor.
eight bell ringers and Mr.. Bileau, So
loist and humorist.
AT the beginning of the program.
Mr.. Bleau gave a short sketch of the
meaning of hand bell ringing, which
began in the latter part of the 18th
century. He said the ringers first
went around the homes at Christmas
time, initiating church bell chimes.
Their number was increased from
to SO. Mr.. Giggle, the conductor of
this company, now has 100, the small
est of which weighs ounces and the
largest IL pounds. These bells have
rich, mellow tone, and music from
the great masters was rendered in a
manner to delight all music lovers
Perhaps the heartiest and most ap-
preciated number was selection from
II Trovatore. The clang clang of the
Anvil Chorus came out magnificently.
They showed their ability to play
lighter music by taking up as an en-
core the popular air, Every Little
Movement" to the delight of the
younger set. The audience was also
delighted by the rendition of the
Star Spangled Banner" and Great
Britain's national anthem, which is
the tune of our America"
Their glee numbers were excellent.
The double quartette of yorkshire

of music one hears today when he Wis

The solos rendered by Mr.. Bileau
were very pleasing. His voice has ex-
