The encyclopedias and the worlds
histories give accounts about Rollo and
his works. Most authorities agree,
that he came as a fugitive from Nor
way, having robbed some cattle on a
voyage from the Baltic sea, being
short of victuals. Norway was united
to one kingdom since S72 by King Har-
aid Hairfair and his chief adviser and
earl, Ragnvald of Moore. The kings
duty was to protect his conquered
country against sea robbery, which
was forbidden by harsh laws. It did
not help Rollo to be son Of the most
trusted friend. said Ragnvald Earl. He
was compelled to leave the country,
never to return.

ALURKING LEMON,

If Manager Pendergast, of the
creamery concern, is correct in his
deductions-and known facts indi-
cate that he is-farmers in the dis
trict tributary to Bemidji have un-
consciously planted the seed for a
large and juicy, but bitter lemon.
Our friends the farmers may we'll
ponder seriously before they permit
the creamery to close it's doors, as it
must do if it can not obtain butter
fat in sufficient quantities to make it
a paying institution. 1t isn't so
much just how much the dairyman
can get for cream as it is what he
will get if the price boosting cream
cry is permitted to die, after having
shot up the prices during the past
few months.

Well Worth the Effort.

But what is of first Importance to
the north is the move started by the
Bemidji Pioneer to make reapportion-
ment the special business of an extra
session. A bill passed the House last
winter and fewer total votes would
need to be changed to pass reappor-
tionment than to pass gross earn
ings bill.
Only one bill was considered last
winter, the Hanson bill which was
perhaps more satisfactory, coming up
too late in the session.
A reapportionment bill would be
we'll worth the extra session and the
governor could redeem his promise to
Northern Minnesota by calling the
session for that purpose, letting the
other matters be taken up as desired.

Jim Doesn't Want One.

The Duluth Herald urges an extra
session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of enacting laws to increase tax
es on railroad property, and the Be-
midi Pioneer puts forth plea for
such session on the ground that the
governor had pledged himself to call
an extra session to pass an equitable
reapportionment measure In either
of these things there is sufficient
grounds for an extra session, but not
enough weight yet to induce the
present governor to issue call for
one. 1t is easy for little Adolph, hav-
ing heard his masters voice, to find
excuses for not needing the wishes
of the common people. Devise some
plan to get Jim Hill to ask for an
extra session and it will be called in
some hurry.-Holt Northern Light.

Done Gone and Got "Cotched."

In his address before the delegates
to the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment association in Brainerd, last
year, Governor Eberhart said: eff
such a thing should be possible that
reapportionment did not pass at the
coming session, will call special
session for the purpose" AS we all
know, it did not pass, and the COVER
nor is now apparently waiting to see
if the delegates attending the meet
ing of the association in St. Cloud
next December are going to insist
upon it. This attitude of the COVER
nor's reminds us of the story of the
old man who told his boys not to
lie, but if they did lie, be sure and
not get ''cotched" at it. The COVER
nor is evidently waiting to see if he
will be "cotched. LA Porte News
