Crop rotation and cultivation OF
soil have demonstrated their benefits
in the wheat yields on the farms
owned by George Culp and A. Hjerpe,
both prominent Belgrade farmers.
These two men marketed quantity
of wheat at the Hubbard mill yes
terday. Mr. CUPS grain averaged
thirty-four Bushels to the acre and
Mr. HERPES average yield per acre
was thirty-six bushels. This was the
threshing machine measure, but the
measure at the mill registered about
five per cent increase of that
amount The wheat graded number
one quality.
Mr.. Hjerpe and Mr.. Culp both
produced their large wheat yield on
fields which had been planted to
different grains each. year for sew.
eral years, following definite plan
of crop rotation. Mr. Culp raised
sugar beets in his field last year.
The soil, as a consequence of this
treatment, is rich and fertile, and
produces healthy crops.
The farmers who are making a
study of crop rotation and who are
following some definite plan, are find.
ing that it pays in actual dollars and
cents, with no extra expense in
planting and raising the grains. Mr..
Hjerpe and Mr.. Culp have, from the
excellent yield of their grain. hit
upon just the proper rotation for the
particular soil on their farms.

Famous persons galore are land

from the fact that friend of royalty
was hauled before the police court
yesterday, the big evetn of the big
visits was reserved for today when ]. r.
Runkevitch was hauled into the police
court and given a cell in the police
station. People on the Glenwood
road telephoned into the station that
crazy man was loose in that
vicinity. He went to the houses
and begged and when he was refused
money he became highly abusive and
used language of the foulest kind.
Chief of Police Eli Klugherz answer
ed the call and brought the ruffian
into court At first he declined to
come and sat right down in the
street
AT this point the North Mankato
bread wagon was converted into a
patrol wagon and he was loaded on
and taken to the police station. He
is said to be a former scissors grind
er, has a grey beard and hair and APP
pears to be a man Of about fifty
five years of age. After he had been
locked up he lay in the cell and
used the vilest language imaginable
and called the officers all manner of
names. He reeked foul language and
in all of his conversation he did not
change from his abusive talk. After
he had been in for while he admit
ted that he was Russian Irish by
birth and that he had a lot of education
before he came to Mankato. When
it was suggested that he be given
a job breaking rock he did not take
kindly to it and said that he was a
novice at that art and couldn't pos.
sibly do it..

WEBB BILL PASSED OVER VETO

By vote of 244 to IS, the House last
Saturday repassed over President Taft's
veto the Webb bill prohibiting shipments
Of intoxicating liquors into dry" States.
The Senate passed 1t over the veto last
Friday night and the bill now becomes a
law.
Only one other time in the last Is years
has Congress overridden Presidents veto.
That was when the Rainey river dam bill
was passed over President Roosevelts dis
approval
President Taft based his Webb-bill veto
almost entirely upon the ground that the
bill was unconstitutional in that il virtually
delegated to the States control of inter
state traffic in liquor when, he held. that
control was vested solely in Congress. At
torney General Wickersham had given an
opinion also holding the bill unconstitu-
tional. and that the President forwarded
to the Senate with his veto message.
Supporters Of the bill say it will make
effective the prohibition laws of dry"
States which. they say. now are violated
because intoxicants are shipped to private
individuals and have the effect Of nullify-
ing the local laws.

President Wilson'S Inaugural.

There has been change of government.
1t began two years ago. when the House Of
Representatives became Democratic by a
decisive majority. Ii has now been COM
pleted. The Senate about to assemble
will also be Democratic. The Offices Of
President and Vice-President have been
put into the hands Of Democrats. What
does the change meant That is the ques-
ton that is uppermost in our minds to-day.
That is the question am going to try to
answer. in order. if may. to interpret the
occasion.
II means much more than the mere
success Of party. The success Of a party
means little except when the nation is
using that party for a large and definite
purpose. No one can mistake the purpose
for which the nation now seeks to use the
Democratic party. Ii seeks to use it to
interpret change in its own plans and
point Of view. Some old things with which
we had grown familiar. and which had
begun to creep into the very habit Of our
thought and Of our lives, have altered their
aspect as we have latterly looked critically
upon them. with fresh. awakened eyes I:
have dropped their DISCUSSES and shown
themselves alien and sinister. Some new
things. as we look frankly upon them. will
ing to comprehend their real character.
have come to assume the aspect Of things
long believed in and familiar. stuff Of our
own convictions. We have been refreshed
BY a new insight into our own life
We see that in many things that life is
very great. 1t is incomparably great in its
material aspects, in its body Of wealth. in
the diversity and sweep Of its energy. in
the industries which have been conceived
and built up by the genius Of individual
men and the limitleSs enterprise Of groups
Of men. II is great, also. very great in its
moral force. Nowhere else in the world
have noble men and women exhibited in
more striking forms the beauty and the
energy Of sympathy and helpfulness and
counsel in their efforts TO rectify wrong. |
suffering. and set the weak in the
way Of strength and hope. We have built
up. moreover. a great system of govern
ment. which has stood through long age !
