A Good COrnhuSker.

Lyon County Reporter: The re-
markable feat Of husking one hun
dred and thirty-two bushels of corn
within twelve hours was accomplish
ed Monday by Elmer Hauge, while
employed by Chas. Preston west of
Luverne. The accomplishment Of
this feat was the result Of wager
of $4,000. Gertz contended that
Hauge could not pick twenty -four
rows of corn eighty rods long that
would yield fifty bushels to the acre,
in twelve hours time, Hauge to be
supplied with an assistant to haul
and unload the corn and a field of
the foregoing dimensions was mark
ed off on the Preston farm. Mr..
Hauge started work shortly after five
o'clock and at noon he had picked
eighty eight bushels, and easily fin
ished the field, which yielded one
hundred and thirty-two bushels,
within the allotted time. In fact it is
claimed by some Of Hauge's friends,
he could have gathered one hundred
and fifty bushels during the day as
he made no effort to maintain his
speed, being satisfied with finishing

MINNESOTA AT THE NORTHWESTERN
LAND PRODUCT EXPOSITION, MINNEAPOLIS

hibits shown from the further west
states; but neverthel IS, Minnesota
farmers who attended the Land Show
could often be heard to say, that they
were not ashamed Of Minnesota, but
in fact felt that sheesxas the greatest
State exhibiting at the show.
Many people even in Minnesota
hardly realized that Minnesota could
make such q wonderful competitive
showing in apples. One hundred box
es Of choicest Minnesota grown ap-
pies, delicious in flavor and beautiful
in color, were on exhibit. One hun
dred boxes were given away on Min
nesota Day at the show, and it was
the verdict Of all, that the Minnesota
"Wealthy' apple, was in class by
itself in quality.
Corn may not be "King" in Mime
sofa; but it is a mighty big factor
in Minnesota agriculture This was
cl. arly demonstrated in the corn
feature Of the exhibit. A Nebraska
farmer, visiting the show, frankly
admitted, that Nebraska could not
raise any such corn as was on exhibit
in Minneapolis. This is saying a good
deal for Minnesota, in view of the
fact that Nebraska is much farther
south.
The minerals Of the State were
given a prominent place in the exhib-
it, and samples Of ore from thirty
properties, owned by the State, were
shown.
The Game and Fish Commission
contributed to the exhibit, with six
ge-glass tanks, containing differ
ent varieties Of trout, bass and Other
well known Minnesota fish.
Willmar tribune., 1912-12-25

Dairying, as an asset to Minnesota
was especially featured by the Dairy
and Food Department Of the State
The silver cups won by Minnesota in
competition with all the other states
in the Union, at the National Dairy
Show, were on exhibit and elected
much praise and comment from the
visiting crowds. A miniature dairy
farm and creameries added to the
beauty Of the general display.
The Minnesota Sugar Company of
Chaska, Minnesota, occupied about
ten feet Of space, with an exhibit of
sugar beets and sugar beet products,
One beet weighing 1872 lbs, the larg-
est on record in the State was shown.
This beet grew at Renville, MINI. To
convince the housewife that beet sug-
ar is as good for canning and pre-
serving as cane sugar, many jars of
choice preserves and canned fruits
were displayed as evidence.
Fresh garden vegetables, including
celery, ripe tomatoes, lettuce, spin
ach, cabbage, etc., occupied promi-
nent place in the exhibit, and added
much to the attractiveness thereof.
1t has been the general concensus of
opinion, that the Minnesota exhibit
at the Minneapolis Land Show was
a huge success.
II. J. Maxfeld, State immigration
Commissioner, who superintended the
exhibit, said: "that a lively interest
was manifested in the Minnesota
booth at all times, and many far
mers, both from Minnesota and also
other states came to the Minnesota
headquarters for information in re-
gard to the State.

Being Saved by Skin Grating.

The case Of little Ida Perdue, the
four-year old daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. L. Perdue of Dassel, who
was badly burned from the waist
down by falling into kettle of boil
ing lard, is attracting a good deal
Of attention. The little girl is at
present at the Swedish hospital at
Minneapolis where skin grating is
being done. R latives have been
furnishing skin for the grating and
a large number Of Dassel people
have volunteered to give Of their cut
icle in order to try to save the life
of the little girl.
The valiant fight and patience dis
played by the victim thru her aw-
full suffering is winning the admira-
ton of the nurses and physicians.

copy Of the Guilford advertisement
for his paper, the Mora Times, but
did not insert it, as there was no
money sent to pay for the ADVERTISE
ment. He figures that at $40 for each
paper, Guilford will be incurring an
advertising bill Of over $4,000 to

When the proposition came to the
Willmar Tribune, it was returned with

The Land Show. held at Minnea-
polls this year. has proved conclus-
ively that Minnesota is IL wonderful
State. Competing as the State did
with six other northwestern states,
all Of which having produced this
year, bountiful crops Of grain, fruit
and vegetables, Minnesots, showed
to her own people and to the other
states represented, that her soil, eli
matte conditions and geographical
position, all tend to make Minnesota
the most brilliant star in the frma-
ment Of the American Northwest.
Other agricultural states, not only
in the Northwest, but in other Sec
tions Of the United States, are noted
as specializing in certain crops. Min
nesota specializes in almost all crops.
Wheat, corn, oats, barley, flax, timo-
thy and clover seed, potatoes, and all
other root crops, stock and table
vegetables, grow equally we'll in this
State. Minnesota won first prize on
potatoes, in q contest embracing the
seven states represented in the
Northwest Development League.
In the Minnesota booth, were dis
played, in artistic profusion, all sheaf
grains and grasses, common and ma
tive to the State. While the straw
of these sheaf grains might not have
been so white and beautiful as some
Of the straw represented in other
Exhibits from the dryer western lands
the sheaf grains with their long straw
and true colors were credit to Min
nesota; and so with the grasses. Per-
haps these products were not gather
ed and prepared for exhibit purposes
with as great care as some other ex-

OFFERS TO WATCH
1888 LEGISLATORS
St. Paul Man Proposes Strenuous;
Job for HimseIf-Another to
Forecast Legislation.

Minneapolis Journal: To watch 49,
members of the legislature, spy on
their personal conduct, and tell the
folks at home through the medium
Of weekly newspaper whether their
representatives are attending to bus
mess, is the contract which Fl. A.
Guilford, of St. Paul has taken. He
has sent out ten-inch advertisement
to the newspapers Of the state bid
ding for subscribers, and tempting
the public with promises Of spicy
reading about the lawmakers. His
paper, he says, will be called the
Northwestern Legislative Report
er," and he promises to "throw our
searchlight down all ratholes without
fear or favor" He suggests that
constituents will be interested in
knowing whether the members are
attending to business, or spending
their time 'drinking stale beer and
playing poker" His attitude is indi-
Gated by the promise to print some
red hot stuff about "evil arising from
the entrance Of the pulpit into pol
itics, and its effects on the incoming
legislature" eff your member is a
county optionist," the advertisement
inquiries, "are you interested in learn
ing the location Of the drug store
which he patronizes?"
The Guilford plant consists of
desk-room in a printing office on the
top floor Of the Union block, St. Paul
where he will have his paper print
ed, and the staff consists Of himself.
He does not claim any experience in
Legislative affairs.
Guilford declares that he has no
connection with Mark A Herring, the
man behind the CLAW Reporting COM
pany," which in a circular addressed
to corporations Of the state has un-
dertaken to give them advance in
formation about bills affecting their
interests. This concern has an Of
fee on the same floor Of the same
building as Guilford. Herring has
been working as a bookkeeper in So
St.. Paul. The Herring circular has
aroused some interest among the
lawmakers, who are wondering how
the man expects to get copies Of the
bills before they are introduced. '1t

Wins First Match Game of Season.

The Willmar High School Basket
Ball Team started the season Of
1912-'13 with rush and bang by
defeating the Raymond High School
team by the score of 81 to 10. The
game was played in the High School
gymnasium Saturday evening and a
good crowd was in attendance. The
Raymond boys were absolutely at the
mercy Of the local team, and from
the first it was seen that the out-of-
town boys would stand no chance to
win the game. A great number of
fouls were called on the Willmar team
but only three on the Raymond team.
William Henry johnson carried off
first honors by scoring IL field bas-
kets. Branton scored 9 and Taylor
and Holt one each. Our team lined
up with Taylor and Holt forwards,
johnson, center and Branton and Err
ickson, guards. The Raymond boys
claimed to be at decided disadvan-
tage by reason Of the baskets hang
ing foot or more higher than they
had been accustomed to have them in
their own gym.
CLAkA CITY NEXT.
Next Tuesday evening the local
boys will play the Clara City town
team composed of college players.
The game will be played on the High
School floor and will be called at
80. Everybody come. Willma1
has a good team, and deserves the
support of the town people. Admis-
sion is 25 cents. The game is called
early so as not to interfere with 9TH
er doings later in the evening.

Relief Needed IN Balkans.

lno war tnaC mas d0VaSted the Bal.
kan Peninsula has brought in it's
wake untold suffering. CONSTANT
nople has become the centre of dire
misery unknown in our day. The bat
ties of million men have brought
there the wounded Of nine weeks of
conflict. A quarter of million ref
ugees have been swept in from wide
territory, including a great multitude
of women and children. Cholera, ty-
phus, famine and cold have come,
with tens Of thousands ofvictims. In
dividuals of all, faiths and of all the
races of the Ottoman Empire are in
this utmost need. The Red Crescent
represents in that Empire the same
noble philanthropy as the Red Cross,
with which it is internationally asso-
ciated.
The Red Cross, with international
impartiality, divides it's aid between
FIVE beligerents. The Red Crescent
is the channel for the relief extended
bv all those in Constantinople, able
to work and to give. All classes of
society from the highest to the low
est are nobly cooperating to assuage
this misery to the measure of their
power. But it is evident that these
resources will be insufficient to cope
with the demand that has so sudden
ly come. Even though active hostil-
tiles seem to be at an end it must be
remembered that the misery and
want that follow in the wake Of war
are often more severe and trying
than they are during actual hostil-
tiles.
This appalling need exists in a land
where more has been expended for
education through contributions from
America than from any other coun-
try. Six American colleges and a
great multitude Of schools represent
ing every element Of our population
are to be found throughout the Otto
man Empire. The work Of wide
spread education for Turkey in peace
should now be supplemented in war
by special contribution in this mo-
ment Of extreme human suffering.
This appeal for aid is issued,
knowing we'll the generosity with
which the American people has al
ways responded to the needs Of strik-
en- humanity. Subscriptions are ear
nestly requested to the "American
Constantinople Relief Fund.-" All
will be applied to aid the work for
the sick and needy in Constantinople
and vicinity by the Red Crescent and
the Red Cross, neither Of which
makes any distinction as to religion,
race or nationality. Contributions in
answer to this appeal, which should
be designated as such, may be sent

American Red Cross, No. So William

PRICE OF GOVERNMENT
" MAPS INCREASES
United States Geological Survey Ad-
vances Price Of Standard Topo-
graphic Sheets from 5 to 10
Gents - Higher Figure
Still Merely Nominal

After January l the standard top
ographic maps Of the United States
Geological Survey will be sold at 10
cents a copy or cents wholesale, an
order amounting to So or more en-
titing the purchaser to the reduced
rate. These maps have heretofore
been sold by the Director Of the Geo.
logical Survey, under authority Of
Congress, at 5 cents retail and 3
cents wholesale, but for some tine it
has been recognized that this price
has been too low. The constant re-
tinement in the field work Of the topo-
graphic surveys, the immense amount
of detailed information which is put
upon the maps, requiring the most
expert and tedious drafting and cop
per-plate engraving, the great care
necessary in insuring the exact reg
lister for the three or four color itho-
graphic printings, and the largely in
creased cost of labor and paper have
made the increase in charge not on
ly justifable but necessary. AS a
matter Of fact, 10 or 6 cents for one
Of the standard 15-minute topo-
graphic sheets Of the Geological Sur
vey, which is in effect an almost ex-
act reproduction of about 230 square
miles of territory, is merely nomin-
al price. No comparable maps are
issued by any private map printing
house, but if there were they would
be sold at 81 to So apiece. The field
surveying alone Of some areas cov-
cred by single map costs more than
$4,000, and even $4,000 in very diff
Fcult territory, while there are few
maps which represent an expenditure
for field work Of less than $4,000.
All the maps are printed in three
colors and some in four colors. The
water features, including seas, lakes,
ponds, streams, canals, swamps, etc.,
are shown in blue. The relief
mountains, hills, wales, cliffs, and
slopes-is shown by means Of brown
contour lines, which graphically por-
tray the shapes Of the plains, hills
and mountains and also show the
elevation of every part Of the area.
The works Of man are shown in
black, in which color all lettering al
so is printed. Boundaries, such as
State, county city, land grant, and
reservation lines, are shown by
broken lines of different kinds. Prin-
cipal and inferior roads are shown by
other kinds Of lines. Houses are in
dicated by small black squares which
in the densely built portions Of cities
and towns merge into blocks. Other
cultural features are represented by
conventional signs which are easily
understood. Many of the maps show
also forested areas, which are indi-
Gated in green.
The Director Of the Survey at
Washington will be glad to furnish
an index map, covering any area de-
sired, which shows the particular
quadrangles, as they are called,
which have been surveyed and the
corresponding maps issued for sale.
This index-map circular also con-
tains a list of special maps Of the

tional parks, mining camps, etc., with
