10000 cans of string beans, 1880

cans of ground cherries, a total of g.
1872, 100 cans, valued at approximately

factories, and warrants the claim of
the dairy and food department that
the canning industry in this state is
"lusty youngter."- Minneota Mas

An Ohio solon has offered bill in
the lower house providing for COM
mission to regulate the designing
and manufacture of women's cloth
ing" and prohibit such styles as may
be considered detrimental to virtue
and chastity" Among the things
which the member would put on the
tabooed list are collarless waists,
transparent stockings, and other gar
ments combined with lace or other
transparent material. 1t might be
! suggested that as these materials
in themselves have never been found
detrimental to the virtue and chast-
/ ity" of the wearers, the same results
might be reached by enacting law
making it compulsory for every sus-
ceptible man to wear blinders.-Fond
du Lac Common Wealth.
A newspaper can't afford to give
away space to advertise some mans
business any more than can mer-
chant afford to give away curtains to
cover a mans office windows.-Inter-
Lake Tribune.
Our state constitution now has the
general appearance of crazy quilt,
with few pieces of one color in one
patch and few pieces of another col
or in another. 1t is a fearful mess,
when one looks at the original and
then tries to fix it over according to
the new terms.-Minneota Mascot.
LET the people rulew cry those who
want to rule the people. The phrase
is pretty but meaningless. Gods COM
mon, everyday people never did rule
and never will. Through deception
or by force there are always those who
rule them and those who seek to rule
them. The fight is always between
the rulers and the would-be rulers.
The people are merely the pawns in
the game. Reflect and ascertain if it
is not so.-Red Wing Eagle.
The non-partisan bugaboo that is
now the rage will no doubt have to
run its course like a siege of the
measles, and it is to be hoped that it
will not leave any more serious results
than that troublesome though no dan
gerous disease.-Menagha Journal.
Some of the enthusiastic city peo-
pie who are prone to indulge in costa
tic rhapsodies over books and lectures
dealing with the simple life" will not
be found putting their theories into
practice. They believe in it-for
someone else.-Detroit Record.
Gov. Eberhart thinks Minnesota
ought to be represented ia the exposi-
ton to be held in Norway next year
But why waste the time and money ?
Mighty few Norwegians come to A
merica who don't head for Minnesota
anyway.-Inter-Lake Tribune.
Minnesota has yet 1921 ,450 acres
