MARCO P0L0'S GEMS OF THOUGHT AND
FARM MACHINERY NOTES

We are building those mowers SO fast
that we have exhausted our storage ca
pacity at the old prison, hence two full
car loads of these machines were shipped
during the week to the new prison, where
temporary storage room has been arranged
for.
Bids for furnishing the large amounts of
steel required in this department for the
season of l9l4-I9I5 are about ready to be
mailed to the various mills of the country.
Part delivery of the material is to be made
to the old prison, the balance to the new;
a further sign of the approaching hegira to
the new institution.
Speaking of the eventual abandonment
of this plant we are led to remark that,
even with the anticipations of the splendid
up-to-date institution overlooking the
scenic banks OF the St. Croix, which
awaits US; many of US will feel sense of
loss in leaving these familiar surroundings.
Sounds funny, doesn't it, that prisoner
should become attached to spot where he
is forcibly detained.
1t appears from the wide advertisement
being given to the coming exposition to-
be held in London, Eng, next year in
commemoration of century's peace be-
tween the two leading English speaking
nations, that the industrial features of the
exhibit will be an extensive one. Great eff
forts are to be made to induce all manu-
facturers in that line to make comprehen-
sive displays of their wares. he writer
opines that it will be incomplete unless the
minnesota brand is ably represented.
1t is also the writer's opinion that, if it is
decided to send over seas the excellent pro-
ducts Of the local plant, a hrst-class steer
age ticket should be included in the esti-
mate of expenses, so as to enable our eli
(the kandiyohi Kid to accompany the
exhibit in order that he may enlighten the
be-fogged mind of the London cockney as
to the superiority and merits of the ''Min-
nesota.
The department has now installed, and
in good working order, the large and
powerful Band Resaw, lately received has
business like look about it that impresses
even the ordinary lay mind unacquainted
with its purposes, and the way it can rip
and eat up lumber is a caution. Ponder
Gus as it is, its mechanism is SO delicately
balanced that child could direct its oper-
alton.
Here is legal decision that translate
from 'Ias Novedades, Spanish weekly
of New York City. The case affected is
that of young married woman making
application for divorce, on the grounds
that her husband inveigled her into mar
riage through false representations; he hav
ing told her that he drew down salary of
princely proportion traveller for an i'm
portant house in the metropolis, whereas it
eventually transpired that he occupied the
humble position of porter of the establish
ment, earning weekly stipend of twelve
dollars. The learned jurist, author of the
sweeping decree, is Supreme Court Judge
GUY, of New York, and the decision in
question, which no doubt will serve as
authoritative reference in future pleadings
of like nature runs as follows:
''The Court takes into consideration the
we'll established axiom that a man counting
the object of his affections cannot be con-
sidered to be in his evenly Balanced state
of mind 1t is even conceded by the high
est authorities who have scientifically stu
died that phase of mans career involving
his courtship days, that the subject, other
wise normal, becomes the victim of strange
illusions and Authorizations which induce
him to utter words and commit acts which,
under his normal self, he would be ashamed
to acknowledge. Moreover, he should not be
an object of censure, but rather of pity; for
