health officer, who will have the full
authority of city health officer
who will haye charge Of medical SUI
pervision in the city schools, who
will devote his whole time to the
care of the public health of Roches
ter, is the proposition submitted to
the city by DR.. H. M. Bracken, sec
rotary Of the state board of health
at meeting on Saturday night in
the Surgeons club rooms. In order
to accept the state boards offer, il
will be necessary to raise $4,000, to
which will be added the sum OF
$1,000 from. the state board OF
health, making a total of $4,000 fol
salary and expenses of the office
The sentiment at Saturday nights
meeting was sufficiently strong to
assure DR.. Bracken that Rochester
was ready to accept his offer, and a
committee will confer with the city
council and the school board on the
matter, and private subscriptions will
be secured to pay the balance OF
the fund not appropriated by the
municipal bodies. The ladies of the
Civic league will undoubtedly take

WARNING TO THE FARMERS
Uncle Sam to Instruct Folk as to
=. Potato Disease.
Especial to The Free Press.1


Washington, March 25.-The de.
partment of agriculture will perhaps
finish today series of reports it
has been compiling for the farmers
of the country on the subject of pc.
tatO diseases. Last week the de-
partment sent out notice warning
farmers of the danger of introducing
diseases by substituting foreign.
grown potatoes for seed purposes
while homegrown seed potatoes are
selling at high prices.
Inquiries for further explanation
have brought out the fact that Eu-
rope has several potato diseases not
known to exist in this country, which
if introduced, might greatly reduce
the annual yield, and should these
diseases become prevalent through
out the United States producing
cost might be very greatly increased.
The varieties coming to the United
States at present are late sorts and
not adapted to planting in the south,
where early potatoes are the main
crop, neither are they adapted to
planting in the north.

HOLD TOO MUCH REAL ESTATE
Complaint Made Against Banks BY
the Examiner.

st. Paul., March 25:-Banks in
Minnesota are holding too much real
estate, according to kelsey S. Chase,
state superintendent, and call has
been issued asking that they dis.
pose of it.. Referring to the state
ment recently issued from his office,
showing condition of banks following
the call of. February 20, 1912, Mr..
Chase, in his communication to the
bankers, said: -'.'
1.-THE holding of real estate is too
large, being 80 per cent of the en-
tire capital invested in banks. 1t is
the duty of every bank to dispose of
any real estate: it has as soon as
possible after acquired. Banks are
not in business to deal in real es-
tate nor to hold real estate indefi-
nitely for a prospective rise, in SELL
ing price.
= 1.-THE account identified in the re-
cent statement as Other Resources,
at $111,027.36, is far more than it
should be-. and banks carrying this
account will be required to change
their methods"

BUSINESS HALTS IN CHICAGO
Because of the pending Strike of
Coal Miners,

Manager r. E. Brown has return
ed from q weeks business trip to
Chicago. He. says that everything
seems to be tied up there. Because
of the impending strike Of coal
miners, the business men are ac'
cumulating a supply of coal to last
them for three months, and the
prices are soaring. This raise in
prices also means an increase in the
gas bills. The Consumers Power COM
pany has attempted to meet the
strike, which it is believed will come
in a short time, by filling up every
bin they have with coal.
Mr.. Brown stated that while away
he also attended the electric show at
Minneapolis, and that several Man
kato people were there. This exhibit
Ell considered the largest and best
that has ever been shown in this
state The attendance was half again
as large as that of last. year.
