DELAY CORN PLANTING.

sOk64Ay CU6N ELANT1NC3s "a: II
There has never been q time when
the seed-corn situation 4 was more
serious than it is this spring. A large
amount Of weak seed corn; is sure to be
used this year; and, if such seed. finds
its wa1to cold, half:prepared seed
bed, q considerable portion Of this weak
seed will not generate.
On the other hand, if time is taken
to put the seed-bed in a thoroughly.
prepared condition, the delay Of few
days, or even a week, will do a great
deal to assist the generation Of weak
seed. Most farmers know very well how
weak seed-corn has terminated when
used for fodder corn. This apparent diff.
ference in the terminating power can
be attributed only to the much better
condition Of the seed-bed in which it
is planted. Where seed corn must be
used that is known to be slightly weak
in vitality it would seem wise to delay
planting week or more, and to EN-.
lploy this delay in better preparation
of the seed-bed.
Again, the acreage Of corn is sure ia
be reduced to a market degree through
the scarcity Of seed but no one can
estimate the loss and the hardship if
a late frost should catch the nicely
started corn crop. In view Of the known
condition as to seed and the ever-pres'
ent possibility Of frost, don't be in
hurry to plant corn this spring.-O

NURSES SAVE THE PATIENTS
Carry Fifteen From Burning Wing OF
Red Wing Hospital.

Displaying great presence of mind a
corps Of trained nurses, under the d.
rection Of Miss Bertha Johnson, super
intendent, rushed to the east wing Of
the Red Wing hospital, where fierce
fire was breaking through the walls,
and rescued fifteen patients from the
dense smoke which filled the building
The patients were carried out on the
hospital grounds and later removed to
the west wing Of the hospital, which is
dreproof. There was little excitement
among the patients and it is believed
none will suffer from the experience.
a. they were given prompt attention
by STAFF Of physicians hurried to the

scene.
Tho fire, Of unknown origin, started
in the basement. The loss probably
will reach $4,000. The nurses, who

POPULATION AND PROSPERITY.

POPULATION AND ROSPERlTY.
It is sometimes argued that the
growth Of great cities is beneficial to
the farmer, in that they afford a
ready market, which he would not 9th
erwise have, for his produce. But if the
population, now concentrated in the
cities, were spread out over the country,
there would be just as many mouths to
feed; the produce of the farm would
be equally in demand; and at the same
time, the increase of the rural popula-
ton would bring great increment Of
value to the land. The great mercantile
houses of the cities would sell just as
many goods, also, or more. So the So
called "boosters of the cities are
making a mistake, so far as the general
welfare of the state is concerned, in
seeking to draw manufacturing and 9th
er enterprises requiring many "hands -
to their several centers. The growth Of
the cities, as well as the state at large,
is more wholesome if such enterprises
are located in the country towns.
."Build county, build town. is the
motto which leads to general pros
perity.-C. R. Barns.

TO BAR FALSE ADVERTISING
Representative Steenerson Introduces
Drastic Bill in House..

OTaSIlG ouC Ia f1ou8o:
A bill drastic in terms aimed at ad-
vertisements that mislead prospective
investors was introduced in the lower
house of congress by Representative
STEVENSON of Minnesota.
The bill is entitled "A bill prohibit
ing false and misleading ADVERTISE
ments." 1t provides that whoever
shall offer for sale any merchandise,
or stocks, or bonds, by means of false
or misleading advertisements sent
through the mail in any printed form,
shall be fined not more than $1,000
for each offense or be imprisoned not
more than two years, or both, in the
discretion of the trial court.
Mr.. STEVENSON is of the opinion that
many innocent persons are defrauded
by means of advertisements by schem-
ers who impose on newspapers and
the bill is designed to punish those
who wilfully utilize advertising as a
means to defraud.

secretary of the Northern Minnesota
Development association, acted per-
fectly right in protesting to the state
fair board against it's action in permit
ting advertising exhibits Of Canada
AMI western states on the grounds. In
his letter to the board he said, among
other things: "Our people feel that our
state fair ought not to give any aid
to Canada immigration and that, while
we are willing to stand comparison
with anybody, we do not want a Mime
sofa institution to be a party to ad-
vertising lands elsewhere, especially IN
foreign Countries Mr.. Mackenzie
will take the matter up with the
Northern Minnesota Development as
ISOLATION at it's regular meeting in
June, and then an emphatic demand
should be made upon the fair board
to discontinue the harmful practice.
Upon it's refusal steps should be
taken to enforce compliance.

The Titanic disaster was so
dramatic, so spectacular in its sudden
ness, and the loss of life included so
many notable names, that the world
Eest it's breath for moment. AS re-
suit there will be legislation, and more
precautions for safety. Yet the number
lost on the great steamship is but lit:
tie compared to the number who gave
mp their lives during the course Of a
year as victims of industrial and social
conditions, and whose lives are just as
surely lost because Of carelessness and
indifference to conditions on the part
of society, as those in the ship. 1t
mas taken years Of agitation to bring
legislation taxing the poisonous match
out of existence. If all the victims OF
white phosphorus could have been
brought together and met some sud
den and frightful calamity, the public
would have been reused to action. 1t
is the same with other industries. Ap'
parently there is not enough Of the
dramatic in the steady and constant
tribute of manhood, womanhood and
childhood being paid to the Moloch OF
industrial greed, in the workshops and
mines Of this country. If there were and
Che public conscience could be thorough.
1y awakened, these conditions could
not last. ..,,

While the new law requiring white
light on the front and rear Of all horse
drawn vehicles after dark has been
looked upon as a joke that will never
be observed or enforced, attorneys say
that failure to observe it might result
seriously for the one carrying no light.
For instance, if he were run into and
smashed up by an autoist he would
have no action for damages, but if the
autoist was hurt or his machine damag-
ed he would have clear case against
the man with the unlighted rig. So,
perhaps, the wise man will not be the
one who jeers at the "new fool auto
law,' but the one who obeys its pro-
visions as to lights, whether or not he
approves Of it.-Exchange.

FAv0RITIsM IN RAILROAD

EkE1+dT RATES.
Mayor Gaynor Of New York in q
speech at the Jefferson Day banquet in
New York city, April 13:
"And what would Jefferson Say
about some other things now in tho
minds Of many in this country3
"The railroads are not private roads
but public highways. That is the first
law Of their being. The land for them
was taken under the eminent domain
power Of government to take property
for public use. It was taken for public
use, namely for public highways. It
could not be taken for private use.
What would Jefferson say to favoritism
in freight rates to shippers on these
public highways instead of the same
rate being exacted Of all alike9 What
would he say to favorite individuals or
coteries being charged freight rates so
much lower than their business rivals
as to enable them to drive such rivals
out Of business by undertaking them
that much in the markets, and thereby
creating monopolies in themselvesf
Would he not say that the general
freight agent Of every railroad in tho
country ought to be appointed by gov
eminent if necessary to do away with
such crying wrongs Such agent need
not fix the rates, but his duty would be
to see that there was only one rate for
all in like case-that every one paid
the same rate.'
