Bay Staters Not to Be Fooled.

Thinking If over calmly, we find still
more cause to assert that our commen
last Monday upon Mr.. Roosevelt's ''in
vasion" of Massachusetts,, according tc
the details of the event printed in Bos,
ton papers, was a failure.
Mr. Roosevelt himself mist feel that
he failed of the impression he hoped to
make. In choosing ito speak to a sea-
shore crowd near Boston, he seems to
have believed that the mere announce
ment would cause the people to drop
all else and flock to See and applaud
him. A crowd of $4,000 was expected
to be present. OF course, there is nc
way of stating with any degree of ex-
actness the attendance at the Point OF
Pines. The Boston Roosevelt organ
claims only 1000, but this is said TO be
largely in excess of the real figures.
But this is not the only cause for dis
appointment on the part of the colonel
and his adherents; for the lack of any
considerable proportion of voters was
what hurtl Young people of both sexes
were there; those who always make a
large proportion of the holiday attend
ance at beach resorts, and who were
drawn thither by the presence of man
about whom so many are talking. True,
there were many women. But it would
be foolish to assert that even a ma
jority of them would cast their vote
for Roosevelt, if they were given the
franchise
Men of mature age and thinking
habit were not represented in any con-
siderable proportion. Those present
went to be amused and they found what
they had gone after
As to the evening meeting on Bos-
ton Common. it was a joke. The
colonel's organ claims an attendance
of 1900 Granted that this is true
we doubt it-what could have been ex-
pected from a Saturday night crowd on
Boston Common? Mr.. Roosevelt cor
rectly sized up his crowd-he is any
thing but fool-and talked to the as
senblage at its own level He was full
of jest, inviting questions, parying
thrusts. We are satisfied that some of
the questions fired at him were "a
plant to Judge from the dastardly joke
on Mr.. Taft, disrespect toward our
President which cannot have raised
Roosevelt IN the estimation even of his
adherents, if they are decent. respecta-

"The things | did when / was Presi-

were discussed in a pettifogging man.

BEL1RAMI LANDS GOOD
Melges Brothers and Crookston Lu-
Der Company Bringing in Many
Actual Farmers.
ARE ADVERTISING HEAVILY

Melges brothers, of Minneapolis,
formerly of Bemidji, last week pub
1ished a seris of advertisements in
the Minneapolis Journal advertising
Beltrami county lands. All of their
lands, lien Northern faneseta, hut
the majority are to be found in Bel
trami county.
The Melges brothers lived in this
section of the state for number of
years and pin their faith to the op-
portunities and future of Northern
Minnesota. They have secured near
ly $1,000 acres of farm lands and
offer them for sale on terms up from
$1,000 an acre.
These lands are said to contain
considerable hardwood timber and
investors have taken them state they
have found enough wood on their
property to pay for the land. The
Melges brothers have secured much
the best lands adapted for farming
purposes and are advertising to bring
good live settlers into this county.
Their campaign of advertising in the
Minneapolis papers is causing much
comment in the twin cities and with
the distribution of other literature
will tend to do justice to the posi-
bilities Northern Minnesota has to
offer.
During the past year the Crooks
ton Lumber Company has led in the
selling of Northern Minnesota lands
having disposed of about $4,000
acres. This has practically cleaned
up their present supply of cut over
lands, but as they are clearing lands
continually they expect to sell $1,000
acres year for the next four years.

BIG SUGAR BEET CROP.

Chaska, October 21.-Minnesota's
home grown sugar will show for this
year an increase of more than $50
per cent over the figures for 1911,
according to the estimates of officers
Of the beet sugar factory here. More
than $4,000 tons of sugar beets will
be handled this year in the campaign
which has just begun as compared
with $4,000 last year. The rapid
growth of this crop is indicated by
the fact that the factory will handle
the output of 5000 acres, as COM
pared with $500 acres for 1911.
Beets are coming to the factory more
rapidly than ever before, $1,000 tons
having alredy been received with the
campaign only eight days Old The
increased yield per acre over 1911 it
is estimated will be more than fifteen
per cent, due to the better methods
of cultivation which are being used
Already the acreage which farmers
wish to plant sugar beets for next
year far exceeds the capacity of the
factory and plans are under way for
the erection of a new factory. No
decision as to its location has been
made however, since it is recognized
that an adjustment OF the tariff on
raw sugar would put an end to the
industry in this country.
At present Minnesota is spending
about $11 100000 for sugar in mark
cts outside the state, but officers of
the local plant say that there is no
reason why with proper encourage
ment the whole amount consumed by
the state should be grown at home.
The average yield this year will be
about twenty dollars an acre. On
farms where the best methods are in
vogue, however, the profit in a num-
Der of cases doubles this figure
Farmers report marked increase in
the yield of other crops grown in TO-
tatiOn with the sugar beet.
