The Mankato Commercial club has
leased room $40, OH the third floor of
the National Citizens bank building,
as an office for the secretary and
headquarters for the club, and it is
being furnished, and will be occupied
by the secretary Immediately. The
Mankato Citizens Telephone COM
pany will at once put in the Com
mercial club telephone, which it very
kindly donates to the club, and it
is hoped that the Northwestern Tele-
phone Exchange company will do
the same.
The office will be the meeting
place of the advisory board and of
the various committees of the club,
and will be used for any other legi-
innate club purpose. Advertising
matter for Mankato and vicinity will
always be found there, and the Sec
rotary will be glad to meet the club
members there and to be of any pos
sible assistance in working for the
upbuilding of Mankato.
Club headquarters are necessary
in order for a club of this nature to
work to the best advantage, and it
is proposed that the Mankato Com.
mercial club shall be one of the
live wires for the advancement of
the city's interests, commercially and
otherwise.

From a Sheep
lOa Niliinn Dollars

The above is the title of an in
tensely interesting story that will
appear soon in Farmer and Breed
er. 1t is the story of how poor
boy started out with a sheep as
his total assets, and becoming a
farmer, built UP fortune of
over a million dollars, following
his chosen vocation. This man
lives about eighteen miles from
Sioux City, and incidentally he is
a regular subscriber to Farmer
and Breeder for eighteen copies
of the paper for himself and his
employees.
This is the first of series of
inspirational articles that will APP
pear in Farmer and Breeder dur
ing the coming year. Such ar
ticles as this will be effective in
inspiring farmers and breeders to
do better work.
Inspiration is OF inestimable
value to the business man. 1t is
to him what steam is to the en-
gine-it spurs him on. Inspira.
ton, or in other words, enthu-
siasm, is as necessary to the
farmer as it is to the business
man. The purpose of the above
mentioned articles, which deal
with the. trials and triumphs of
living farmers, is to furnish some
notable examples which will In
spire others to do still greater
and better work. These articles
will be invaluable to those who
are willing to profit by the ex-
periences Of others. The young
men and women on the farm will
do well to follow the examples
that these articles supply.

Charles Schultz of Mankato town.
ship is one Of the first farmers to
avail himself of the offer of the
Hubbard Milling company to clean
seed wheat for farmers this year
He is a most enthusiastic believer
in the use of good seed wheat. Last
spring he cleaned and graded his
seed wheat at the Hubbard mill, and
estimates that he received an in
creased yield of five or six bushels
per acre on forty acres. 1t required
about one day to haul in and clean
his seed wheat, and his net profit
by the transaction was nearly 5000.
Mr.. Schultz has ample reason for
being pleased with his experience,
but it is only about the average re-
suit obtained by many farmers last
year, who either cleaned or bought
their seed wheat at the mill. Some
of the most reliable farmers in
this vicinity obtained eight bushels
per acre more from the use Of the
seed wheat cleaned or furnished by
the mill, or about 1920 per cent on
the extra cost of such seed, besides
having their land free from foul
seeds.
With such object lessons the only
wonder is that any farmer in this
vicinity will use anything but the
best seed grain.

the republican Progressive league oil
Minnesota to get him into the raceIo
He admitted that the league had
requested him to be it's candidate
but that he had reserved definite
situation thoroughly.
Mr.. HolmIberg is farmer, living
a few miles from Renville, in the
seventh district. He has been align
ed with the progressives for some
time in a general way, but is not
claSsed as a radical.
Lindbergh Is Not Their Hope.
The progressives have given up
hope of inducing Congressman Lind
bergh to enter the race and they
think that Holmberg is the next best
man.
81 treated the matter first as a
joke" said Mr. Holmberg this morn
ing, "as it has never been my am
bition to be governor. If the call
was general, it would influence me
to consider the matter seriously. l
have never shirked my duty yet. 1t
gresSives of the state, but matter
that should be carefully considered"
Mr.. Holmberg represented the twen-
ty-second district in the legislatures
of 1907 and 1909. He was the au-
thor of the Holmberg educational
bills, among which was the bill for
the consolidation of rural schools. He
is graduate of the agricultural de-
partment of the University of Min
nesota.
Governor Eberhart is in Nebraska.
His secretary, Ralph Wheelock, con-
cedes that any man has right to be
a candidate for governor, but the
present administration will go before
the people on it's record of achieve
mentS.

Now they're off. Three candidates
for the republican nomination for
governor, and Governor Eberhart
seeking an Endorsement from his
party. This is the situation at the
present writing. The platforms of
Mr.. Lee and Mr. Gordon are almost
identical, although Mr.. Gordon goes
into greater detail. Both make the
broad charge that the brewery inter
ests are permitted to control politics
and policies.
Mr.. Gordon Endorses the initiative,
referendum and recall, but not the
recall of judges. He stands for a
fair reapportionment, the ratification
of the income tax, reorganization Of
the state departments and the aboli-
ton of the brewery owned saloon.
Neither Mr.. Lee nor Mr.. Gordon
mentions national issues or refers to
national candidates.
MIR. Lee is banker at Long Prai-
RE and a man of wealth. At one
time he served on the board of con-
troll, having been appointed by Gov
ernor Van SAINT. Until recently he
has been a strong organization man,
but it is said he bolted the organiza-
tion because they refused to make
him lieutenant governor instead of
Sam Y. Gordon
Both From Seventh.
Mr.. Gordon and Mr.. Holmberg are
both from the seventh congressional
district, and Mr.. Lee is from the
sixth. ~,
Should the call for me to be their
candidate for governor come unani-
mously from the progressive repub-
licans. will feel it my duty to make
the race, but UP to the present time
/ have not given the matter serious
thought"
This statement was made yester-
day by N. ]. Holmberg over the long
distance telephone, when asked for
some expression upon the efforts of

Story Told BY Defendant.
1t is understood that Hughes &
Ellsworth are the attorneys for the
defendant. Efforts to obtain any in
formation from these gentlemen to-
day proved futile. They would not
even admit that such action has
been instituted.
However, it is said that Mr., Will
liams, the defendant, denies the al
legations made by Mrs. Ballinger.
He tells the story that Mrs. Bal
linger came to his place OF business,
selected a pair of shoes and believ-
ing she was going to leave the store
without paying for them, he detain-
ed her and demanded payment. He
admits that he stood between Mrs.
Ballinger and the door to prevent
her from leaving until she paid for
the shoes. He strenuously denies
having made any indecent remarks
to the plaintiff and says he did not
lock the door of his store.
In Business for Years.
Mr.. Williams always has borne a
most excellent reputation in Lake
Crystal. He has been engaged in
business there for a number OF
years. His many friends are loath
to believe the charges made against
him. He is an elderly man.
Mrs. Ballinger is the wife OF y. +.

About seventy-five young people
spent a very pleasant evening at the
meeting of the Young Peoples So
ciety in the German Lutheran school
house Friday. Twenty members were
added to the society, making the
total number now 80. The report of
the treasurer for the year 1911 was
read, showing favorable balance.
Officers for the year were elected
as follows: President, Rev. w. G..
Nickels; vice president, Walter IT,
Ter; secretary, Miss Esther Traub;
treasurer, Miss Eva George; program
committee, Miss Edna Bekke, Miss
Clara Schumacher, Mr.. Ernest SLIDER.
Rev. A. +. Winter addressed the
society on the purpose of a young
peoples society and briefly outlined
plans for this year. At present the
organization is in a more fiourishing
condition than ever before, due in a
great measure to the efforts of those
who during the past year have serv-
ed as officers.

st. Paul, January 15.-It will be a
long ticket the voters of Minnesota
will scratch their heads over in the
election next fall-it will be in four
sections, and the fourth of these,
for the first time, will be devoted
to the names of the candidates for
governor and other places on the
state ticket, according to the plan or
ticket now decided on by Julius A.
Schmahl. secretary of state.
% First will come the twelve presi-
Dental electors, one more than the
state ever had; then the names OF
the candidates for United States SEN
ator-for the first time on any ticket
in the state; the names OF the cam
d'dates for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
and finally the state ticket.
Where Do Names Go?
There is some question where the
mares of those who would be repre-
santative-at-large should go on the
ballot, as there is no provision in
the law, but third place has been
allotted by a process of elimination.
The state at present confronts a
peculiar political situation, as it has
received no official notice of the
reapportionment by which it gained
an additional presidential elector
and a presentative-at-large accord
ing to MI Schmahl. Through Ralph
w. Wheelock, secretary to the gov
ernor, he has asked Representative
F. C. Stevens for certified copy
of the act, so the state may pro-
coed legally under, the new regime.
For the first time in the history

Choice for Senator.
AT the same time will register,
in both the primary and general cleo
tions, their choice for United States
senator, to succeed Senator Knute
Nelson. Candidates for the latter
office will be compelled to go through
three campaigns, the first two being
the primary September II and the
general election November 5, both
of which are in effect only recon-
mendations by the majority Of the
voters to the legislature.
The third is the final and real
election by the legislature, as in
former years, which may be done
according to the wishes Of the vot-
erS as expressed in the election,
or as to the desires of the legisla-
tors themselves.
