the navy the system Of Instruction for

to Remain on School Board
IErom a stan Correspondent.I

TRENTON, Sept. 17.-Assistant
Commissioner of Education Belts to-
day rendered an opinion holding that
Philip LASER and Arthur Briesen Ell
legal members of the Board of Educa-
ton, of Weehawken. Their right as
members of the board was contested,
owing to a complication of laws and
that fact that one act was declared to
be unconstitutional by the court.
Prior to 1910 the school district of
Weehawken was governed by the pro-
vision of article Of the school law
and the members of the board were
elected at the annual school meeting.
At the general election in November,
1910, the voters there accepted the pro-
visions of article 6. The method of
the selection of members of the school
board remains the same.

freedom of expression should be given

COMMITTEE Nj IS lNSIsTENT

Washington, Jan. 23.-An attempt
to alter the money trust committee's
decision to insist upon an examina-
ton of William Rockefeller, despite
his physical condition, was defeated
yesterday In the rather stormy execu-
tive session of the committee. Against
the wishes of Chairman .Pujo, the
committee reiterated it's decision di-

to make arrangements for Rockefel-
ler,s examination. s=.a=
Chairman PuJo announced after
the executive session that ne would
arrange with counsel for Rockefeller
and endeavor to make an examina-
ton as soon as the committee con-
cludes it's oral hearings. He said he
probably would visit Rockefeller with
Untermyer next week.
Rockefeller is now at Palm Beach,
Florida.
The incident was re-opened by the
appearance of DR.. Chappell, the per
sonal physician to Rockefeller, who
verified his affidavit setting forth
that an examination of his patient
might cause serious physical results.

Virginia, Mimi, Jan. 23.-What is
believed to be one Of the most valu-
able iron ore finds on the Mesaba
range has been made by Virginia
men one mile north Of the city. ne
syndicate which has the lease from
the fee owners is composed OF Harry
Osterber, H. O. Johnson, Walter J.

well-known Virginia men. They have
turned over the property for operat-
ing purposes to M. 3. Richards and
associates who will at once sink q
shaft and operate the mine as am
underground proposition. - -,
The ore is Of the, highest grade on
the Mesaba range and equal to the
best obtainable anywhere. It runs
65.21 and there is little ore mined in
any country that runs higher. The
ore body lies on an average of sixty
five feet below the surface and the
exploration shows it to be thirty feet
thick. - $50
IS The property has been explored
twice before and abandoned as being
valueless when had the drills gone
fifteen feet further, the valuable de-
post would have been located. The
work Of sinking the shaft will COM
mence at once and the mine will BIO a
shipper in the 1913 season.
More than 200 900 tons Of ore have
been blocked out and it is believed
the property contains l 100000 tons
[of mineral. The fee owners have
leased to the explorers on a royalty
of 80 cents and the latter have ar
ranged to have the property develop
ed on the basis of $1.35, leaving a
net revenue Of $1.05 a ton. Ore Of
this quality has market value Of

Mr.. Schroeder feeds his cows two,
fifths Of pound of bran for each
pound Of milk they give. Figuring
on 5000 pound a year cow, and he
says ane which g:ses less Is not pro-
fitable, the bran fed Is 1000 pounds
per year. The market price last year
was p25 per ton.
Ensilage is fed at the rate of thir-
ty pound day for 800 days, or the
time in which they are not on pas
ture feed, and is figured as worth IS
ton as it is worth at least that
much when turned into beef instead
of milk. At ten tons to the acre, a
farmer can raise this feed and put
it in the silo for $3.50 per ton so
that allowing SIS per ton for it as feed
he is making an extra 100 per cent.
In addition to the ensilage, Mr..
Schroeder feeds ten pounds Of hay per
day and at $40 per ton, this is worth
SIS for the year. This can also be
raised ny any farmer. The oil meal
costs $1.75 per 100 pounds and taat,
with the bran, is all that the farmer
must buy in the markets. The care
is figured high at ten cents per day,
especially where there are more than
ten cows, and this sum any farmer
can earn himself and so add to his
profits. -...-
In the statement given above. no
charge is made for overhead expenses
such as fire insurance, keep of the
bull, depreciation on the buildings.
machinery, ETC., but they are amply
cared for by the natural increase of
the herd. In addition to the increase
caring for the overhead, the best
heifers can be selected and added to
the herd in place of the poorer COWS.
Mr.. Schroeder says that it does not
pay to turn milk into butter until the
price of milk gets down to four cents
a quart and that even at that price
it is question. The farmer who
wants to get the most from his herd
should arrange to sell the milk and
cream and put the SKINNED milk into
pigs. AS milk is eight cents a quart
retail, the farmer can realize six
cents quart net after the milk is
delivered.
At the figures given above it pays
a farmer day wages to keep q COW
which gives 5000 pounds or 500 gal
Ions, per year. AS it costs no more to
keep good cow than poor one,
every pound given over the o,-~ is
clear profit over the day wages. A
good grade COW will give from 5000
to z 900 pounds a year. Mr.. Schroe-
der weighs all milk and the feed Civ
en- eacn COW 80 that he knows at the
end Of the year exactly how much
the COW has cost and how much she
has returned in milk and increase.

ness for Tuesday morning in the

committee unanimously, and it is be-
lieved will the pass the senate, at
least, as it came within two votes Of

Were it not for tilt between H.
H. Dunn, Albert Lea, speaker two
years ago, and w. I. Nolan, Minnea-
polls, chairman of the rules commit
tee of the house, over the Lundeen
resolution for committe on COM
mittees, the sessions would have
been devoid of excitement.
Representative Dunn in speaking
for the resolution, took issue with the
opponents of the same, who declared
that it was not a progressive idea to
take the committe appointment pow
er from the speaker.
The trouble arose when Mr.. Dunn
insinuated that Mr.. Nolan was
preaching temperance and virtue
from behind a red nose and shady
past.
Mr. Nolan demanded a retraction
for the alleged insult. Mr.. Dunn
explained that he intended his re-
marks as general and not personal
to Mr.. Nolan who accepted the ex-
PLANTATION, whereupon Speaker Rines
declared the incident closed.
The resolution was lost 20 to Al.
If Rep. c. N. Bendixen, Morgan, is
made chairman of the grain probe
committee, as anticipated, because he
is the author of the resolution adopt
ed in the house, there is every indica-
ton that the investigation will be
sweeping. 1t may reveal several
startling features with reference to
operations of boards of trade and the
grain inspection department. The
committee will very likely be ap-
pointed late today.

St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 23-Outside
of the formal election of Sen. Knute
Nelson for a fourth term In the Uni
ted States senate, very few actual re-
suits were accomplished in the Min
nesota legislature yesterday.
Following the election of Senator
Nelson a resolution was adopted, re-
questing the senator to address the
joint body at II o'clock Feb. 3, the
day following his seventeen birthday.
Everything moved along smoothly
in the senate. In addition to the
introduction of twenty-five bills, the
senators showed that they intend to
back up the recommendations of
Governor Eberhart by recalling from
the house Sen. John Moonan's reso-
luton calling for joint committee
to prepare legislation to be submitted,
which will have for its object the
creation of departments of agricul-
ture and public domain. The resolu-
ton passed the senate last week, but
there seemed to be no disposition
on the part of the house to take im-
mediate action. 1t is believed that
Senator Moonan will introduce new
resolution calling for senate COM
mite to shape the necessary bills.
