Governor Carries
Cause To Farmers
Declares Public Utilities Regulation
Will Aid Country as Well
As City

Governor Eberhart is discussing the
question of public control of utilities
at the many county fair assemblies
he is now addressing. The Winona
country residents heard him last week
at ST. Charles, and were given the
Governors viewpoint in a brief adj
dress.
eve are living in an age of trt.een-
dous prosperity" he said, "and it
should be our aim to bring to the home
of the farmer the advantages of our
great water power and other rescour-
ces. They should be reflected in the
rural homes, the entertainment, the
social life and in fact everything
wherein they are found in the city,
And they should be afforded the far
mer as cheaply as possible"
How Farm Development Is Affected
The farm development, educational
and social advancement, and financial
returns are directly dependent upon
the control of the public utilities, he
said.
"To utilize all the water power we
have here, we could take light, heat
and power into every home in the
state," he said ''The direct returns
would be enormous"
In discussing the enhancement of
farm and rural conditions, he said this
year had marked the greatest prog
ress. The movement has gained so
rapidly, he asserted, that teachers are
not available. In one of the northern
counties, he said, "movies" had been
installed in one of the schools and
more and more tie social, economic
and other features of the city are be-
ing carried to the farms as means of
making conditions more enjoyable.
The governor took occasion to make
a yelled reply to his critics. Men who
heretofore have strongly advocated
the legislation now are opposing it,
he intimated, merely to have a poll
teal issue.
Politics Eliminated
He emphasized again that control
of utilities is not municipal matter.
He went over again the elimination
of waste, the joint use of equipment
and the fixing of responsibility in the
hands of few men. He contended
that politics would be entirely divorce
ed from the commission through the
plan of tenure of office provided in the
proposed legislation, which would
place men in the commission solely
from the standpoint of efficiency.
With employees under civil service
and heads unaffected by change in
political administration he saw the APP
preach of the ideal.

property.
When this farm was first bought
there was criticism in some quar-
tiers over the price paid and the ex-
tent of the property, but present con-
ditions show that the State was for
tunate indeed in securing it and that
the board never made a better bar
gain for the state than when they
bought this land. In the words of one
of the members, cit is the finest piece
of property owned by the state" A
splendid crop was raised this year
and the land is being well cared for
by the farm manager. q
The board agreed to the recommen-
dation of Superintendent Freeman
that the superintendent cottage, so
called shall be used as special home
for women patients. The cottage is
a spacious building and can be used
to excellent advantage for this pur-
pose, in the opinion of the superin-
tendent, and the board concurred in
his judgment after looking over the
building. Various minor improve
ments will be made in the near future,
and additional buildings will be erect
ed as funds become available. The

Nine out of every ten newspapers in
the state express themselves as being

for a special session of the legislature.
AS the newspapers usually voice the
sentiment of the community in which
they are published, it is a safe guess
to say that the people are overwhel-
mingly opposed to the special session
which it imposes. Furthermore it is
quite evident from the present temper

''The slit is on the wane," says Mr..
Charles Heinemann, the designer of
the skirt, who claims to have been a
benefactor of womankind before this
by introducing the instep- length
skirt some fifteen or twenty years
ago, 'but the women who won't use
it are so much in the minority that
it will be a year or more before the
movement for wider skirts will have
any effect. The draperies around the
hip line are the beginning styles

Reassuring that, but isn't it funny !?
No, not what he said, but the fact that
when the Western women issued a
plea for wider skirt an Eastern
manufacturer was the first to heed
the call? And wouldn't it be funnier
yet If the women here actually did
take to this skirt which has come
back to them from the West?
