From Wednesdays Daily.
If Mankato is to keep on grow
ing it is apparent that more houses
will be needed. People are moving
into the city faster than houses are
being built for them, and a limit
must soon be reached. Real estate
men say that the demand for houses
is much in excess of the supply, and
that about the only houses vacant at
present are few old ones, mostly
without modern conveniences. The
Free Press several days ago called
attention to this pressing need.
Morse houses are in process of
construction now than usual at this
time of the year, but it is said that
practically all of them are already
spoken for. Dwellings for thirty or
forty families are going up, but twice
this number are needed Here is a
chance for a good safe investment.
What is most needed is a number
of houses of five or six rooms, with
modern conveniences, that will rent
at from $1S to $25 month These
should be within walking distance of
the depots. Here is an opportunity
to do Mankato some good and have
a safe investment at the same time.
The Commercial club has been ac-
tive in answering inquiries and get
ting off literature during the winter
and spring months, and in putting
forward the advantages Of Mankato
as a city for home and as
school center, and no doubt this has
had much to do with the advent of
some of the new families that are
coming in, and if SO, the influx will
keep up if there are houses to be
had On the other hand, if man
comes to select house to rent,
and cannot find one, he will nat
ura11y return to his family and de-
eide not to move. There ought to be
sufficient vacant houses of the bet
ter class at all times to give new
people a little choice and to provide
for any emergency.
A few days ago The Free Press
interviewed the real estate agents
and learned then that the supply of
dwelling houses was not equal to
the demand One real estate and
rental agency had more than twenty
applications for dwellings that he
could not fill.

The Commercial club has had de-
signed an envelope advertising the
city of Mankato, and the Free Press
now carries them in stock. The front
of the envelope has pictures of sew
eral of the public buildings of the
city. The back has a picture of the
Rapidan dam from which comes the
electric power. Then there is reading
matter explaining the advantages OF
the city. On the flap is a diagram
Of the railroads entering the city,
showing Mankato as a railroad CEN
ter for Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin.

AR ASSESSORS FIX ESBET SUGAR WORKMN WILL USE w. TRACKS
The Dan Patch Line Enters Into An
Agreement With J. P. Morgan'S
Railroad.

Minneapolis, April 24.-The Dan
Patch electric line has arranged for
the use of the Chicago Great West
ern railroads tracks between North
field and Faribault and the railway
company stations and terminals in
both those cities, it was announced
today by NJ W. Savage, president
of the Dan Patch line.
This arrangement will add thir-
teen miles to the available mileage
of the electric line besides new depot
facilities and yardage.
Construction work by the Dan
Patch line between Mortified and
Farbault will be abandoned and the
crews employed in extending the line
from Farbault to Owatonna. When
that city is reached, the mileage
will be increased from thirty eight
miles, the distance from Minneapo-
lis to Mortified, to sixty-seven miles.
or nearly doubled.
The arrangement with the Great
Western, Dan Patch officials say, will
facilitate the company's intention OF
installing a fast express service be-
tween Minneapolis and Rochester,
one of it's objective points, with only
two or three stops in less than
three hours.
There were reports circulated to
the effect that the Dan Patch people
will eventually use the Chicago Great
Western tracks into Mankato, thus
making connecting link between
this city and it's main line. Such
plan would be well received by the
people of this city, especially those
who travel between Mankato and the
lake resorts in the summer months.
Possibly the Great Western will run
a motor during the coming season
in order to accommodate this class
of travel.
The Owatonna Journal says: Some
months ago new map of the Dan
Patch line appeared, showing 1t In
early operation into Faribault, with
dotted lines indicating proposed ex-
tensions also to Owatonna, Roches-
ter, Austin, Albert Lea, Waseca and
Mankato Indications now point to
the fact that electric train operations
in the early future into not only
Owatonna but Rochester and Man
kato, are assured"

DOING REAL HARM.

People who do US harm In the
end are not the wrongdoers
whom all execrate. They are the
men who do not do quite as
much wrong. but who are ap-
plauded instead Of being exc
Grated. The career Of Benedict
Arnold has done US no harm as
Z nation because Of the uniyer-
sal horror 1t inspired. The men
who have done US harm are
those who have advocated dis
union. but have done 1t 30 that
they have been enabled to keep
their political position: who have
advocated Reputation Of debts
or other financial dishonesty.
but have kept their standing in
the community: who preach the
doctrines of anarchy. but refrain
from action that will bring them
within the pale Of the law. for
these men lead thousands astray

WORSHIP.

WORSHIP.
Worship Is the dedication Of
self to the Lord. 1t is the souls
expression Of combined love.
gratitude and dependence. d.
rected toward God under the
clear guidance Of faith. To be
genuine 1t must proceed from
within and be spontaneous and
free. 1t must find expression in
outward life Of service and daily
keeping of the commandments.
External worship in churches
and elsewhere is Of value as a
vehicle of expression. an out
ward form for the manifesto
ton of the inner substance Of
worship. 1t fixes the mind upon
the significance Of the hearts
alteration. But external forms
Of worship without the interna!
acknowledgement Of the Lord
and loving determination to do
his will can accomplish nothing
for the spiritual strength of
man. The more scnsuous and
selfish a man is the more ex-
ternal his worship becomes. the
more perfunctOry and the more
devoid Of deep religious Impulse.
But the increasing purity Of
heart and spirituality of thought
make ones worship more and
more internal and genuine. He
still enters into and enjoys the
forms of external worship be-
cause he sees and loves in them
the spiritual truths and realities
they representatives,. Paul Sper-
