tering the contest have been quick
to see the exceptional opportunities

MINNESOTA'S NOSE.

How did the United States come to
get that small corner of land which
juts out from the extreme northern
boundary Of Minnesota? History of
that little nose" which sticks out
into Canada from Minnesota and
which constitutes the northernmost
point of the United States is very in
teresting.
Under the treaty of 1888 boundary
between the United States and Brit
ish possessions was fixed. A certain
point on the Lake of the Woods was
mutually agreed to as one starting
point. this being considered the head
waters of the st. Lawrence river and
great Lakes system.
At that time 1t was not known
whether this point was north or south
OF the forty-ninth parallel but 1t was
known to be close to It. The under
standing was that from that point the
boundary should go north or south to
the forty-ninth parallel as the case
might be
Later and more accurate surveys
showed that point was about twenty
five miles north of the forty-ninth
parallel and so at this place the boun-
Diary makes a jog above the line.
Uncle Sam thus has a little piece
OF territory Of about 100 square miles
in extent north of the general boun-
dary. And the joke of 1t is that any
one has to go by water in order to
reach this little piece Of territory un-
less one want to go through Canada

WOMAN MAY WEAR WHAT
THEY PLEASE ON THIS BEACH

MILWAUKEE, Aug. milwaukee,
women will be permitted to wear
whatever sort of clothes they wish
when they go bathing was the deci-
sion of Mayor Gerhard about bathing.
Slit suits. bloomers, one piece suits
or any other sort will pass muster al
the local bathing beaches. All that
is necessary is that they wear as much
as the men do and that the clothing
does not hinder the leg movements in
swimming.
"Who wants to live in the blue law
age" says Miss Daisy Allen, the may
or's secretary. when asked to give the
feminine side of the bathing suit ar
gument" before the mayor gave his
decision, "Some old fogies would
have us dress like Egyptian mum
mics" That clinched the argument
in the mayors mind.
