MINNESOTA LEADS
IN YIELD OF CROPS
Makes Heavy Increase In Pro.
duction Of Corn.

Minnesota's crop yield for 1913
leads the nation and Minnesota as q
corn state stands at the top of the
list, according to figures issued by
the department Of agriculture at
Washington.
Minnesota and Wisconsin lead in
the average yield Of corn to the acre,
with Minnesota far in advance of the
Badger state in point of acreage and
total yield, and difference in the
average yield an acre of only one-halt
bushel. Iowa and Illinois, long known
as the hampi0n corn states of the ma
ton, have fallen far behind Minne-
sofa this year, and the states gain,
while in part anticipated by crop ex-
perts, is surprise even to the mos.
optimistic. The total corn crop in
Minnesota in 1918 was 7S,777,0OO
bushels, gain of 16,103,000.
Not only in corn does Minnesota
lead, but the state stands first in total
yield of all crops, as compared with
the average yields for recent years.

MOTHERS LAW HELD VALID
s''nnesota Supreme Court Passes on
Recently Enacted Statute.

minnesota supreme IouTt RAISES on
Recently Enacted Statute.
The -tate supreme court has upheld
the mothers pension law passed by
the last legislature as being constitll,
tional and applicable in all parts of
the state.
The case decided arose in Stearns
county, where it was alleged that the
law was unconstitutional and the coun.
ty commissioners decided that the pro-
bate court overstepped it's authority
in ord ering aid for the children of a
woman whose husband was living.
The supreme conrt holds the pro-
bate court had the right to order this
aid and that child dependent upon
the public for support is within the
terms of the law, though the sole rea-
son Of such dependency is the financial
inability of the parents to support it
and though there is neither delinquen-
cy on the part of the child nor unfit
ness on the part of the parent.
The court also holds that the law
is applicable where the town system
of caring for the poor prevails.

 The considerations in many national deals of the past have been ridicuously small For instance, bought Alaska of Russia $7,2OO, 900 and many eminent Americans believed this country's fiscal management would precpitate it into bank ruptcy; that out of the goodness of hearts had made Russia monetary present at time when ought to be paying our war debts Alaska has paid hundred times back to us the purchase price in gold salmon alone

Jefferson party of the second part was criticized by many of his country men, among whom was John Quincy Adams for having made serious political mistake Others be- lieved that Jefferson had allowed the astute Ma poleon to unload a gold brick upon the weak and struggling states
 There IS not enough money in both France and the United States and both are regarded as fore handed nations, to buy the Louisiana Purchase at the present prevailing prices of estate

Dimensions of Ships of the Future
(Victoria COlonist)

One of the interesting papers read at the International Congress of Navigation in Phila- delpha, is that contributed by MT. J. Foster King chief surveyor to the British corporation, The ject dealt with the probable dimensions of seagoing vessels of the future, in relation to the dimensions to be given to maritime canals and need scarcely remark that it ably handled. MT. King it seems, considers it apparent that influence is at present holding back the development in length and breadth of passenger engaged in trades other than that of the North Atlantic and that these boats now lie in of those horizontal stages which usually occur before step upward is made. But for this he continues, the maXima 570 feet by 64 feet, which held the field a decade, would now be 500 feet by 70 feet, practically the dimensions of the Franconia of the Cunard line, and he believes that the year 1870 vessels of 900 feet by 112 feet will be the largest built for service the great passenger routes to India, South Africa, etc, against the probable HOO feet by 12S feet and the possible 1900 feet by 220 feet of the largest Atlantic ship. Persistence the lines of past development seems to mean that all boats. whether cargo passenger both with the exception of the very large Atlantic liners will be 50 per cent longer and 50 per cent broader in 1917 than they today. that the counterpart of the ent-day 300 foot by 60 foot intermediate steamer will be 750 feet by 96 feet; that of the 3S0 foot by As foot small passenger will be 57O feet by 76 feet that of the 400 foot by B foot tramp will be GOO feet by SS feet; and that of the 2SO foot by 40 foot tramp will be APO by GA feet.
 In concluding his paper MT. King remarked that the vessels of the future can only develop on lines more near in type to existing cross channel steamers in which high speed and maximum passen- ger accommodation the first considerations. If 1900 foot lengths achieved he says, it is prob able that their drafts will be limited to about one foreth of their length, 45 feet, but should the evolution of the future revert more nearly to the line of past development the 1000 foot vessel of 1870, with 40 feet at disposal, would have draft which would correspond those for present t-day channel steamers. although such limitation would probably be unsatisfactory. The big 900 foot interemdiate boats would probably require drafts not less than e-twentieth of their length to make them profit able freight carriers that they and the very big Atlantic steamers will support continuance on the present line of maximum increase, which indi- 46 feet the draft development of the great ports and waterways in 1870.

Where Madero Failed

The mistake of AGadero was getting into Mexico too far in advance of his times: in failing to make an accurate survey of the times; trying to in troduce into United States of Mexico the methods of the United States of America. The soil of Mexico, though rich with the blood spilled in successive revolutions. had yet been given that special preparation for the transplanaton of his ideal republic He should have observed that the power of the people vet great the ambitions the leaders and that, conflicting their interests must be, they would always be leagued against the supreme authority.
 He should have guarded himself against pected ambition and should not have hesitated to exterminate open ambition The most common usages of civilized nations would have excused his execution of Felix Diaz after his capture Vera Cruz In almost any other country General Reyes life would have forfeit after the collapse of his futile revolution and the suspicion against Huera last summer would have suggested to an ordinarily prudent man the advisabity of not trusting him again with the chief command the federal mlli- tary forces. In doing so Madero put into hands of the man who six months before had been pected of treachery, his fate and that of the republic, for the army Mexico is the government.
 Huerta will not make the mistake of Madero. Accepting as Ambassador Wilson says we must, "in the absence of other reliable information, the gov ernments explanation of the death Madero and Suarez. may assume, at least, hope that Huera's efforts to pacify Mexico will be sincere and unselfish
 It is said that he will not be a candidate for the presidency and that he will insist that the elections shall be free as they have never been in Mexico. He announces also that the regime shall be a mili- tary until the civil government take care of itself He will retain the military power he will be able enforce his hold check those ambitions which further threaten the peace of the republic In other words, Huerta dictatorship which present is the first thing necessary

 Tn keeping with the intent of the short ballot provision the legislature should abolish elective the offices of dairy and food commissioner and of the clerk of the supreme court. both of which are of legislative origin, making the former position ap- pointive by the governor and the latter by members of the supreme court. An amendment the con shtuton should be initiated making the positions of secretary of state attorney general auditor executive departments to be filled through appointment by the governor. This would leave only the governor, lieutenant governor and judges of the supreme court to be elected The result would and center responsibility in the executive The several executive department heads could then act in an advisory capacity with the governor, as his cabinet This is identical with the federal plan. which is conceded be efficient"
