Maata Ia Road MAKING.

Wheelock's Weekly: The waste of,
ordinary road making Is the greatest
rural waste Of the day. In Otter Tail
county, in thirty years, the enormous
sum of 3.Oo0,o 600 has been spent on
roads, and today there is not a good
road in the county except where a
ture has done 1t or on village or city
streets. The loss TO town and coun-
try has been far greater than the
wasted 5000. 10000 great that it is
very hard 10 put ii ia figures. but
without doubt ten times the cost of
the wasted effort. The way we make
roads, or rather the way we do not
make them fl a sin and a shame, an
Extravaganza and a folly. Our roads
are d disgrace to the community and
a reproach to every newspaper and
preacher, every school teacher and
! professional man, every farmer and
merchapt In Otter Tail county.

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, May 31.-Wheat: Early
prices for wheat were higher, based
on a continuation of dry weather in
Kansas and Nebraska, but owing to
the scattered liquidation in the May
delivery and realizing by local longs,
prices dragged lower, though at the
close only fractional declines were
noted in the July and September. The
burden Of reports from the west today
were Of a continuation Of detrimental
conditions; the question Of lack pre-
eipitation and high temperatures be-
ing the controlling factors. The mar
ket, however, failed to respond owing
to a lack of outside buying. We firm
~ believe that the news from west OF
the river will be effective in causing
higher prices, and that the market has
been held down to a greater or less
extent by local interests, who havS
been short of the coarse grains for the
current month. Chas. E. Lewis & Co.

SKIMPY DRESS SPLIT,
EXPOSED SOCIETY GIRL
Climbed from Feet to Knees at We'd

embarrassing appearance when she
attended a wedding in a new dress
which climbed up to her knees and
then split across the back when she

Miss Hess, who is slender has a
mass of golden hair and large blue
eyes, was the principal witness.
81 was waiting for it when de-
livered," she testified. "and slipped
right into it and hurried to a we'd
ding. When it came time for me to
sit down it was awful" she declared
with a flush.
Pressed to explain, she added:
1T climbed right up from my feet.

Miss Hess testified further that she
sent the dress back for alteration six
times and that when it was finally
fixed to fit properly it was out OF
style.
"She ordered a tight dress and she

skimpiness of the gown had not been
exaggerated.

INDIAN AGENT SLAPS
AT CATHOLIC NUNS

Washington.-In a sweeping order
aimed directly al the nuns of the Ro-
man Catholic church, Commissioner
of Indian Affairs Robert G. Valentine
has issued an edict prohibiting teach
ers in Indian schools from wearing
religious or any other kind of insig-
ma or garb while in performance OF
their official duties as instructors of
Indian children.
Many representatives of the Cath
olic church are thoroughly aroused
over the order and propose TO carry
the matter to President Taft immedl-
ately on his return to Washington.
The order was issued privately from
Commissioner Valentines office on
the evening of January 81 instead of
from the office of Indian affairs, and
is prefaced with the statement that
there must be no connection between
any church and the state.
Valentines order refers to the guar
anteed religious freedom under the
constitution, and concludes by notify
ing all persons engaged in teaching
Indians at government schools that
if they feel such garb and insignia
cannot be given up they must seek
employment elsewhere"
1t is charged by the representatives,
of the church that the order was is
sued by the commissioner of Indian
affairs at the instance of protestant
missionaries in retaliation for the re-
ligious teaching regulations for In
dian children issued March 10, 1910.
in response to a complaint by the
Catholics that protestant were prose-
lyting among the Indian children Of
the Catholic faith.
As a result of the regulations then
issued the alleged proselytizing am
ong Catholic Indian children has been
practically stopped.
