the further west states; but never
theless, Minnesota farmers who at
tended the Land Show could often be
heard to say, that they were not
ashamed of Minnesota, but in fact
felt that she was the greatest state
exhibiting at the show.
Many people, even in Minnesota,
hardly realized that Minnesota could
make such a wonderful competitive
showing in apples. One hundred
boxes of choicest Minnesota grown
apples, delicious in flavor and beau
tiful in color, were on exhibit. One
hundred boxes were given away on
Minnesota Day at the show, and it
was the verdict of all, that the Min
nesota "Wealthy" apple, was in a
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
clearly 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 say
ing good deal for Minnesota, in
view of the fact that Nebraska is
much farther south.
The minerals of the state were CIV
en- prominent place in the exhibit,
and samples of ore from thirty prop
critics, owned by the state, we're
shown.
The Game and Fish commission
contributed to the exhibit, with six
large glass tanks, containing differ
ent varieties of trout, bass and other
we'll known Minnesota fish.
Dairying, as an asset to Minnesota,

MINNESOTA AT THE

The Land Show, held at Minneap-
oils this year, has proved conclusive
ly that Minnesota is a wonderful
state. Competing as the state did
with six other northwestern states,
all of which have produced this year,
bountiful crops of grain, fruit, and
vegetables, Minnesota showed to her
own people and to the other state
represented, that her soil, climatic
conditions and geographical position,
all tend to make Minnesota the most
brilliant star in the armament of the
American Northwest.
Other agricultural states, not only
in the Northwest, but in other Sec
lions OF the United States, are noted
as specializing in certain crops. Min
nesota specializes in almost all crops
Wheat, corn, oats, barley, flax, tim
othy and clover seed, potatoes, and
all other root crops, stock and table
vegetables, grow equally we'll inMthis
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 native 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 wc=~-
ern lands, the sheaf grains with the''
long straw and true colors were. a
credit to Minnesota; and so with the
grasses. Perhaps these products
were not gathered and prepared for
exhibit purposes with as great care
as some other exhibits shown from

SEX ANTAGONISM' IS LATEST
THING IN DIVORCE PLEAS
BY United Press.

BY United 3reSS. ~ ~ XVI
New York, Jan. 1O.-''Sex antag-
Onism," subtle barrier that may
spring up between man and wife aft
er years of seeming happiness, is the
cause assigned today to the breaking
up of his welded bliss by Willis G.
Stone, widely known in st. Louis,
Paris and New York, as an artist,
collector and dealer. Stone has just
brought suit for divorce against
Florence Storer Stone, who has been
his wife for fourteen years, following
a romantic marriage in the Latin
quarter of Paris. %
Last summer he and their two
eldest children went to their summer
home at Hastings, N. y, while Mrs.
Stone with a nurse and their third
child disappeared. He finally found
his wife living with her mother here.
They had taken in as borders two
young men whom Mrs. Stone had
known in Paris. 1t is of her rela-
lions with both these boarders, a
handsome youth named Louis Pays
ner, and a globe trotter, Arthur
Washington, now in Japan, that
Stone bases his suit for divorce.
When asked today to define "sex an
tagonism," Stone said:
"You may personally love each
other-man and wife and be opposed
sexually, This is the unknown rock
which wrecks so many marriages, the
husbands and wives themselves be-
ing entirely ignorant of it's existence.
My wife and I only discovered this
sex antagonism between us after
fourteen years of married life. We
had always known there was some
thing marring our seeming happiness
and then we discovered what it was
and there was no use trying to live
together"

Good Roads and Markets.

Over in Fosston the merchants
recently came together and decided
that something had to be done in
order to improve the roads entering
that CITY, After some discussion
they decided to do without one of
their standard forms of holiday
greetings and to put the money into
a road improvement fund. The mo-
aey is to be spent under the direction
OF the Commercial club.
This is step in the right direc-
ton. Heavy advertising is of little
avail among the farmers unless the
farmers have roads which will ad-
init of travel to the markets under
almost any weather conditions.
Good roads and good markets go
hand in hand. Without the first the
second cannot thrive. Money put
into the improvement of existir g
roads or the opening up of new roads
is money spent in creating a better
home market.
The proposition works two ways.
Not only is the farmer better able
to come to town to buy, but he is
better able to come and sell. For
instance, if the roads are bad, it
may take a days. work to haul in
one load of produce. But if the
roads are passible two or even three
loads might be hauled in the same
time. The additional loads per day
mean less cost per load to the far
mer for hauling, more money to
spend, and more time for both the
town and the farm
During the past two years, Mime
sofa has made great progress in
good roads. With the Elwell law
and the Dunn amendment to go on
now, more improvement is seen for
the coming years. But there is still
one stone which has been left I'M
>urned The lands that the state is
holding for sale are being benefited
by the new roads and their value is
being enhanced. But those lands
are doing nothing to earn that in
crease in value These lands should
be taxed for road purposes so that
the homesteader will not have to
build roads for both himself and the
generations to come.
Northern Minnesota is largely a
new country. The settlers are not a
mOnied lot. New roads are constant
ly being built and old roads made
better. 1t is not fair to these pion-
GERS to make them bear the brunt of
the burden and then have to see the
value of the state lands constantly
being increased through the home
steaders' efforts
Let the legislature appropriate
money to each county on the basis of
state lands lying in that county and
which are non-assible at present.

Mr.. DIZER'S DEFENSE
OF WHIPPING POST

In a letter to Philadelphia news
paper. w. c. Dizer, tbs city, mas
the following to say in defence OF the
whipping post:
You published letter recently
from Mr.. John b. Middleton, in which
that gentleman, claiming to be a for
mer Delawarean. upbraids the people
of this state for tolerating the whip
ping post
"The truth is that the majority Of
Delawareans (quite as civilized as
those OF MIR. Aiiddietou's present
residential sectionl indorse the whip
ping post for certain classes of Grim
inals. and IL is a safe bet that sta
tistics will show that the single ward
in which Mr. Middleton resides has
more criminals of those classes we
send to the post than se have in our
entire State.
"He says we have more crime in
; New Castle county than in either of
/ the other counties of the State There
( Is nothing remarkable about that, for
New Castle county has a population
Of more than double that of the other
two counties combined. Mr.. Middle
ton says he wonders where the Chris
tians in Delaware are. Answer: They
will be found in every nook and
corner of the State. from Brandywine
to Little Greek, in goodly numbers.
81 am sorry for any bound boy,
but because of Mr.. Middleton's ex-
4 perience as bound boy he should
not conclude that all Delawareans
are cruel and uncivilized. I-is argu-
ment reminds one of a woman who
married a man and believing him
wealthy. but finding she had been de-
oeived. refused to live with him. and
became a ranting suffragette, going
around preaching that all men were
fakirs and endeavoring to poison the
minds of all married women against
their husbands.
within the last twelve years we
had lynching and a hanging in this
county of a pair of black fends who
had been given light sentences for
similar crimes in Pennsylvania. Had
the Pennsylvania penalty been more
severe, to the extent OF having fitted
those crimes. our State might have
been saved the shame OF a lynching
and the expense and trouble of a
hanging"
