The other buildings now in course
of construction include hospital,
two cottages, chapel, farm superin-

SS7: farm superintendent house,
1922; store house, sl,S47; hog barn,

sive of heating and plumbing. The
additional cost for those two items will
be $40, 146.
The two cottages are arranged in
the interior practically the same as
the four constructed last year and
now in use. Each will accommodate
twenty girls, householder, cook,
teacher and other assistants.
The hospital is one story structure
modern n all its appliances and con-
structed in workmanly manner.
Especial attention has been paid to
the sanitary arrangements of this
building.
The chapel is beautiful little

Walton north of the administration
building. 1t has steep roof with
the interior ceiling showing the large
roof beams. Rough brownish green
brick fern the interior walls.
All buildings are we'll on toward
completion. They will probably be
ready for occupancy by the first of the
coming year.
The administration building is for
the exclusive use Of the superintend-
ent and immediate family. The as
sistant superintendent, the book
keeper and the steward will work in
the offices during the day but quart
ers will be provided for them in some
of the other buildings, where they
will live. In no other institution in
the state has Minnesota provided so
literally for the accommodation, COM
fort and convenience of the superill~
tendent as it has i'm the case Of the
Minnesota Home School for Girls.
The other buildings are also excellent
and when the plan is complete the
institution will stand at the head of
the state institutions.
The work that has been done and
that is now nearing completion is
first class in every respect, fact due
to the ability and honesty of the con-
tractors, Skooglun Brothers, and to

New Structures for Institution Viii
be Ready by the First of the
COMING Year

The State of Minnesota is preparing
an elegant home for the superinten-
dent of the Minnesota Home School
for Girls at Sank Centre. When COM
pleted the structure will have cost
the state the sum of 5000 and will
have interior finish and modern con-
veniences that are the equal of any
modern structure.
AS to exterior, the building pre-
sents peculiar appearance. 1t looks
like combination between an old
Colonial residence and Dutch brew

to this peculiar architectural present.
ment, one likes it better than when
one first casts ones eyes uponit.
The exterior is red brick and each
gable end towers high in the air. Two
high chimneys rear their tops away
up in the air above the steep roof.
The building stands on the highest
part of the tract on which the school
is located. thus affording one a fine
view of the surrounding country.
The main entrance is on one side
and is pretentious affair and ornate
in architecture On one end is side
entrance. The main entrance leads
to the great hall that runs through
the building. The side entrance leads
to the offices of the superintendent.
The state has spared no expense to
make this building convenient, ele-
giant and comfortable. The main hall,
opening from the front entrance, is
IL Is, with elegant tiled floor in
artistic design. The ceiling is to be
handsomely decorated in appropriate
design. To the right of the main en-
trance and opening from the large
hall, is a drawing room Is x %, a
spacious apartment with costly finish
including marble mantle. To the left
of the main entrance and opening
from the large hall is living room
the same size as the drawing room.
This apartment is to be finished in
fine style though not so elaborat ely
as the drawing room.
A side hall X 16 runs to the left
from the main hall about half way
from the front to the rear of the
building. Doors from this hall open
into the living room and to the
kitchen an apartment II Is, in the
rear of the building At the rear of
the main hall door opens into the
dining room, which is 16 20 in size,
. amply large to accommodate the fam
lily of the superin tendent of the in
stitution and a considerable number
of visitors. The dining room connects
with the kitchen by door.
The Office of the superintendent is
an apartment IL 18, and is situat-
ed back of the drawing room and is
entered from the main hall. A gen.
eral office for the accommodation of
the public adjoins this private office
and is entered therefrom and also
from the side entrance to the build
ing. The second story of the building
is arranged on the same general plan

The building is to be lighted with

SAUk CENTRE IN LINE
Commercial Club Approves Removal
Project and Appoints Committee
to Cooperate

Resolved: That the members
Of the Commercial Club OF Sauk
Centre are in favor Of the pro-
posed enange Of the county seat
of stearns county from St. Cloud
to Albany.
The above resolution was adopted
by a unanimous rising vote at well
attended special meeting of the COM
mercial Club Wednesday night. A
committee consisting of DR.. ]. A.
Dubois, Hon. F. E. Minette, G. Hille-
rud, A. NJ. Welles and HI. G. Borg
mann, was appointed to visit Albany
today and cooperate with the citizens
of Albany in their efforts to secure
the county seat. Two meeting are to
be held there today, one at p. m.
and the other at 8. p. m. The COM
mittee went to Albany in force and
was backed up by a number of other
live wire businessmen of Sank Centre.
The action of Albany citizens i'm
trying fol the county seat was precip-
itated by the action of the county
i commissioners at recent meeting in
voting TO ask the Minnesota legisla-
ture at its next session to pass spec
ial act authorizing the commissioners
to call a special election
to vote on the proposition to is.
sue bonds in the amount of $500, 900
to defray the expense of building a
new court house.
Last Saturday evening a delegation
of Albany citizens visited Sank Gen.
tire and solicited the support of this
city. The project was talked over
extensively with the result that .
special meeting of the Commercial
Club was called and the resolution
above was passed and the committee
appointed.
The Commercial Club of Albany has
taken hold of the matter with energy
and is doing some tall hustling in be-
half of the project. Albany offers a
fine site and bonus of fifty thousand
dollars for the court house.
ST. Cloud has had the county seat
ever since the organization of the
county in the early days. Stearns
comfy is large county and as st.
Cloud is situated at the extreme east
ern end thereof, Sank Centre and sew
eraf other cities and villages are much

transact county business. Albany is
Just twenty-one miles east of Sank
Centre and exactly half way to st.
Cloud. It is near the centre of the
county from north to south. Al
bany has two railroads, the Great
Northern and the 500. The latter
runs from Brooten to Duluth and
thus gives an outlet from the south
western part of the county to the pro-
posed new county seat. Albany IS
only about two thirds as. far from
Paynesyille as is St. Cloud. while it is
much nearer to Melrose, Freeport and
Avon than is st Cloud.
1t. has been known for several days
that Albany was. after the county
seat but until Tuesday of this week
the St. Cloud papers have studiously
ignored the fact. However, on that
day, the county seat dailies published
brief accounts of the move, one ridf-
culing it and stating in substance
that the ST.. Cloud politicians were
not afraid that anything would b

at the Radison Hotel, Minneapolis,
on Tuesday evening. There was plenty
to eat and smoke, while the "t'east of
Reason and Flow of Soul' part of the
proceedings afforded opportunity for
quite number of patriots to uncork
oratory and things. Mr.. Manahan
was complimented on his successful
run for the job he captured. The pro-
gressiye Republicans present expected
him to say where he stood on Progress
sivism, as they also expected "Mose"
Clapp do, but both lodged. 1t was
fine affair and everybody went home
happy.
Geo. Lotus. W. I. Nolan and others
of the Minneapolis contingent held a
conclave a few days ago to lay out
the land for future operations. They
show desire to .trot with what's
left of the badly demoralized Repub-
lican machine. Their idea is to get
the Progressives oreturn to the fold,
or what's left of said fold.
The Progressives, however, have a
a nice fold of their :own which thus
far they consider quite preferable to
any old shack the remnants of Repub-
licanism may have to offer for shelter.
Said Progressives are billed to fore
gather at the Merchants Hotel, st.

week for confab. just to start
things going, the bunch will extend
their pedal extremities under the ma
hogany at $50 for nice little $3.50

years ago he began carefully breed
ing this new variety of corn. For
two years he planted two rows OF
Reds Yellow Dent, then two OF
Alexandef's Gold Standard, detas-
selling the Gold Standard. From
the detasseled rows he picked for
seed only the ears carrying the
characteristics he wanted to repro
duce, planting these in breeding
plots and maintaining careful Sc
lection, so that in nine years time
he had developed well-settled
type.
The Palm champion ear was the
first winner of the w. K. Kellogg
National Corn Trophy, a handsome
silver and enamel cup made by
Tiffany of New York at a cost OF
$1,000 Mr.. Kellogg as the origi--
nator and manufacturer of Toasted
Corn Flakes naturally has a deep
interest in the development of the
higher grades of corn, for the
company of which he is president,
the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake
Co. requires ten thousand bushels
of corn a day for the making OF its
product. The Kellogg trophy was
offered to be awarded in annual
competition for the best single ear
Of corn until won twice by the
same producer. The fact that the
Kellogg product is made only from
selected white corn, while the win
ming ear was of a pronounced yell
low type, was a peculiar feature.
The Kellogg trophy was won in
1910 at Columbus, Ohio, by R. A.
James, of Charleston, Ill, with a
magnificent ear of Reds Yellow
Dent, but not so perfect an ear as
that which originally won the tro-
ply and which has become known
as "the best ear of corn ever
grown"

Better Pay Means Better Legislative
Timber.

Progressive Farmer, Memphis.
The Kentucky House has passed a
Dill Increasing the pay Of members to
$40 a day. Every State in the South
should pass such law. Candidates
for the Legislature must spend a ;,
most as much time before the people
as candidates for offices paying ST.,
Oa0 10 So, 600 a year. while in many
States the per diem little more than
pays the actual expense Of the mem
bers while Legislature is in session.
The result is that farmers and bust
ness men are often unwilling to make
the sacrifice necessary to 60 to the
Legislature, and the places are given
to second-rate lawyers whose first
am is. to serve some corporation
rather than the people.

An Unparalleled Spectacle For Posterity

Percy's Resignation.
Whereas, the said Percy has now
foresworn himself, and by plea OF
confession and avoidance, repudiated
his own unsolicited promises to re-
sign, as aforesaid, and has declared
his intention of retaining his seat in
the United States Senate, in defiance
of the Will of the people, and in bra
zen disregard OF their desire so en-
phatically expressed at the polls,
therefore, be it,
Resolved by the Senate, That the
reply of Senator Leroy Percy to the
resolution requesting his resignation
be spread IN full upon the journal OF
the Senate-not that it deserves any
recognition whatsoever by this body
for it merits nOne-but to preserve
the same in permanent and authori-
tatlve form, to the end that the I'M
paralleled spectacle of a Mississippi
an representing his State without
her consent in the greatest delibera-
tive body IN the world, not only re-
fusing the fulfilIment of d solemn
promise made to the people, but
grossly and unwarranted y in
surting the Legislature of his native
state and thousands Of its most
splendid citizers, may be written as
part of the history of the Common
wealth; and to the further end that

tons yet Unborn may understand

Toe Issue, Jackson.
Tue legislature could have destroy :
ed themselves and the wishes OF the
people in no easier manner than to
have come to Jackson and permitted
themselves to be embraced by tie
secret caucus gang. Each member
would have been inflated to the size
of circus tent witt fulsome flatter-
y. The most unlnfuential member
would have had himself heralded as
an eminent statesman. He would have
been written up as an oracle OF wis
dom and patriot whose zeal would
back Patrick Henry off the boards,
but the members saw fit to shoulder
the mallgnity and do their duty, and
their every act will be endorsed by
the folks at home

Legislature Measures Up We'll On Whole

Yazoo City Sentinel.
The Legislature of Mississippi ad-
iourned late last Saturday night, and
its acts are now a part of the history
of the State. 1t is only natural thai
there should be diversity of opin-
ion as to the character of work per-
formed by the body Both branches
of the Legislature were in control Of
a majority of the followers of Maj.
Vardanan, and it was to be expect
ed that those on the other side of the
political fence should view the acts
Of the dominant faction with criti-
cal eye.
1t is only fair to say, however, that
on the whole, this Legislature has
been guided by sense Of their duty
to their constituents. and no similar
body has ever been more watchful in
the matter of expanding the people S
money than this one. Economy has
been their watchword, and they have
hewn to the line IN matters OF this
sort, and but for the large deficit in
herited from the Noel administration
which had to be provided for, the to-
tai appropriations of the session
would have many thousands less
than any previous session.
The Sentinel has not endorsed all
the acts of the Legislature, and when
it could not approve, it has said so
frankly, but on the whole, we believe
that it will measure up well with
any Of its predecessors, and that a
calm review of It's acts will meet
with the approval of tue masses.

The Herald is not inclined to be
sore over the presidential nomination
situation. We would have preferred
a presidential primary and are quite
certain that Wilson would have car
RED in such, but without itour state
leaders can be depended upon by
I'm derwood to swing Mississippi to
him for at least a complimentary
vote at the Baltimore convention.
With a strong backing shown from
the South in 1912, he may get the
nomination in 1916, so it may help
out to land a man from the lower
South In the presidential chair after
awhile.

The Bay Spring News seems to
favor Wilson for the Democratic
Presidential nomination, and cen
sures Vardaman some for supporting
Underwood, because he believes that
Underwood is reactionary, while
Wilson is radical but not SO radical
as the White Chief, editor Thigpen
is careful to add. With no presiden-
tial primary held in Mississippi, and
that's about gone bye the board as
we have already stated, on accountOf
the Legislature failing to pass any
funding bill whereby it could be
held,--the Mississippi delegation
will doubtless be instructed for IN
