Advice That is Not Appreciated.

The Minnesota Bankers asociation
held another meeting he past
week, and again resolved how the
farmers should cultivate jhe soil.
This is probably just getti1s back at
the farmers for talk abou1 frenzied
finance when the banks Duld not
pay out any money a few ears ago.
The farmers then indulge in talk
about how to run banks, udoubted-
ly knowing little Of the suject, but
they certainly knew as muh as the
fnanciers do about tilling the soil.
It is actually growing idiculous.
In part of the words of BiiNye. Mr..
Banker, why will you hist upon
instructing the farmer in@lis work?
He is not asking for coa4, and if
he was he would not choos you. Tt
is not only rude and wron on your
part, but invariably you WI get left.
There's where. the enormy of the.
thing comes in.-Le: LueuNews..

for Republican Nomination for
Congressman at Large.

Qualified Man in the State
for the Position Sought.

Hon. Frank NJ. Eddy is a candidate

be a winner.

They are wondering why no repub-
lican candidate for governor has filed
yet. The reason assigned is that the
candidates are at loss to know
whether to file as plain republicans,
progressive republicans, or Roosevelt
insurgents. The true reason is that
several Of the candidates are spend
ing money ''like drunken sailors. -
under the direction of astute pro-
fessional managers, and the corrupt
practices act does not apply until
after the candidate has filed. See?
The limit permitted by the corrupt
practices act has been exceeded MANY
times over by at least one of the
candidates.

Since the first of the year several
thousand immigrants from Europe
have passed through the north
western states for Canada, the
greater portion of them to settle
upon farms: > The Canadian govern
ment offers such liberal inducements
to settlers and advertises SO ex-
tensively in foreign papers that i'm
migrants are attracted in large
number to the dominion. At the
same time settlers can find much
better opportunities in Minnesota,
where the soil is rich and total
failure of crops has never been
known. The new homestead law
will probably have the effect OF
checking to some extent the rush OF
immigrants into Canada, but it will
not solve the problem of settling nc
northern Minnesota. Better and
more roads roads that will enable
settlers. to market their crops-must
be constructed before this can be
effected. B. rs .:; :5.

being a secret mark; and the price
asked for them-fve dollars each
