7,665,OOO people. Minnesota has So
S65 square miles and 2,O75,0OO popu :
lation.
"AH of New England could be put
into Minnesota and there would be
nearly 1900 square miles to spare
both New York and PENNSYLVANIA
could almost be included within the
limits of our state; and yet, Mime
sofa has more natural resources than
New England and New York, and
more agricultural possibilities than
Pennsylvania.
Denmark has 1852 square miles
and has population of 2,605, 900 peo-
pie.
France has 100000 square miles,
with a poulation of 39,252,000.
Room for More People.
These few figures are given to show
that Minnesota has territory sufficient
to support a much greater population,
and you know she has the resources
for the support of that population, if
these resources are wisely used.
1.-THE last census gives the density
of population for this state as 25.7 per
square mile-a gain of per square
mile in ten years since 1900.
Minnesota in density ranks twenty
ninth among the states and, with the
exception of Maine, it has the lowest
density OF all the states east of the
Mississippi river, and is below the
average for the entire United States,
which is 800. Wisconsin has a density
of 42.2 and Iowa has 40.
"The increase in population in the
entire United States in the ten years
just past was 21 per cent. but in Min
nesota the increase was 1874 per cent
The increase in the state of Washing
ton was 1904 per cent. In oregon 62.T
per cent. In Idaho 1913 per cent, and
in Montana 54h per cent, in North
Dakota sos per cent.
Mr. Elliott proceeded to show why
Minnesota had made this slow growth.
One reason being the greater amount
of advertising done by states farther
west, and the Impression that had
gained ground that Minnesota was a
we'll settled state, while the fact was
that in the southern part the popula-
ton was 1877 per square mile, or about
the same as in Iowa, while in the
northern part it was only Ill people
per square miles He referred 10 the
large amount OF state land as we'll as
government land available and the
reasonable terms upon which it could
be secured.
The population of the state in
creased, but the growth was not in
the country The owners of farms
decreased A per cent in ten years.
and the number of tenant farmers in
creased 20 per cent In the same
period, while the actual number OF
farms only increased 1 per cent since
the date OF the last census, There
had not been enough advertising OF
Minnesota's advantages. The rail
roads spent in advertising the state
IN the past year $23S,s92, while the
state itself only put up s22.500 for
this purpose He believed that as a
business proposition the advice of the
governor was good--that the state
should appropriate at least 100000 for
the purpose Of exploiting the advan-
tages.
Referring to the effect OF radical
Legislation, the speaker said: "One
reason, perhaps, why there has been
some hesitation In the growth OF Min
neyota In that the state has been

PENNIES AND HALF PENNIES.

Millions OF pennies coined by the
government disappear from circulation
SO mysteriously that no explanation
can be offered as TO where they go.
In spite Of the fact that the Philadel.
phia mint is constantly turning out
pennies the demand for them is always
| greater than the supply.
The penny seems TO be regarded too
lightly. Efforts to conserve 1t seem to
be lacking.
In parts Of the west where the cent
piece was unknown twenty years ago.
it is in general circulation now, how
ever The spirit of thrift will doubtless
bring about greater care of pennies and
less tendency to discard them as worth
less and thus throw them out of cir
culation.
A movement is now on foot to coin a
half-penny and there seems to be some
reason for such action, as the penny
is too large for many purchases and
does not meet the demand for some
means of making change when an ar
ticle is 121s cents.
In discussing the need for half-cent
| The Albany IN. " Argus Press SAYS:
Millions Of dollars are undoubtedly

! Producers and middlemen in this day

A fraction of cent is as important to
the buyer as IL is to them. A woman

of yards. With eggs at As cents a doz-

purchaser never gets the benefit Of it.

friends.

In the Plan.

the following method:
Make mixture OF three ounces OF
soft soap, three tablespoonful yor

ter.
The ribbon is placed on a board and
scrubbed with the mixture. 1t is then
rinsed by dipping several times in
clean, cold water, and not squeezed
out. but hung over line to drip,
then put between cloths and ironed by
drawing the ribbons from under the
iron. This prevents creasing and a
stringy appearance at finish. The iron
should be kept still with pressure up

Letters From the People
EditOr Bulletin.

Editor Bulletin:
A practical joke played on young
Cairo man several nights ago has
caused several other people to be un-
easy and the telephone girls have
now made an announcement that
they are not connected with the case.
There was never any remark made
about the telephone girls. Another
party, man asked that the article
be written so that his wife would
know that it was not he.
The case was that of young
mans wife masquerading as a negro
and following him to his work in
order to catch him talking TO an
other woman. 1t seems that several
young men friends of the man whom
the joke was played on, had worked
this scheme out to have some fun.
1t was stated that the wife hit her
husband with brick and that he
knocked her down. but this is not
true. The joke was explained be-
fore any feeling was created
There were no telephone girls inn
plicated In the joke, it was well
played and no one injured.

sEAsoNA5LE DISHES.

These hot days when meat dishes
seem too heavy for the digestion, one
may turn to various made dishes
which are sufficiently satisfying.
Rice is such nutritious and easily
'digested food and iu combination with
other foods and f1avors furnishes quite
a variety of diet.
In cooking rice, II should be thor.
oughly washed and then dropped into
rapidly boiling water a little at time
to prevent the water from cooling, and
then cooked until perfectly soft, II the
rice is to be served simply and the
grains left whole and distinct, IT Is a
good plan to drain from the boiling
water into a colander, and allow the
cold water from the tap to wash 1t.
Reheat and serve
Rloe Croauettes.-These make a
dish that is hearty enough to take the
place of meat Take cold cooked rice
after It has been blanched as above,
after cooking In milk instead Of water,
and using a cup Of rice to a quart OF
milk and a teaspoonful OF salt. Mold
the rice and then roll In egg and
crumbs, pouring egg over 1t the second
time and again rolling In crumbs to
completely cover Fry IL deep fat and
drain on brown paper. These GRO
Iquettes may be served with tomato
sauce or with a smooth white sauce
Ito which has been added half cup OF
lgrated cheese. Pile the croquettes on
a chop plate and pour over the cheese
sauce. Serve hot
Macaroni is another food that may
easily take the place of meat 1t is
delicious simply boiled and served
with grated cheese sprinkled over II,
or when a more substantial dish is
needed add hard cooked eggs and a
cup Of white sauce, onion Juice and
finish the top with buttered crumbs
and bake.
Egg Tlmbales.-Beat SIX eggs until
light without separating the whites
from the yolks. Add scant tea
spoonful of salt dash Of pepper, a
teaspoonful Of chopped parsley. little
onion Juice and cup and half Of
rich milk. Cook In molds and serve

Must Have Imagination.

Life in the country may be one of
the richest on earth. but 1t may also
be one Of the poorest. If the great
book of nature be open to the eye Of
him who resides there, and illumined
with the light of heaven, from his
little knoll he can see and enjoy all
the glory of the world; but If he sees
in nature only the potato field which
gives him food, then is this golden
vein closed for him, and he himself
stands like the potato plant, fast
rooted In the earth.
