TRIP WAS AsUCCEss
Hon. Frank M. Eddy Discusses Ex-
tensiye Advertising Campaign
by immigration Department.

Hon. Frank M. Eddy returned Tues
day evening from three months
absence during which time he has had
charge of the car sent out by the
State immigration Department adver-
tising Minnesota's resources.
The car in its journey visited fifty
two towns in Nebraska, twenty in
Iowa, and several in Missouri, Illinois
and Wisconsin. In every town where
the car stopped and facilities were
available, a naoring picture show IL
Illustrating Minnesota's farm scenes
was given. Practically all Of these
shows were given in the afternoon, III
order to make it possible for the far
mers to attend and Mr.. Eddy is of the
opinion, it was the most valuable part
of the advertising. The car was Wis
tied by approximately $4,000 men, q
500 women and 10000 school children.
"This is the third trip / have made
with the Minnesota Advertising Car, !"
said Mr.. Eddy Monday night, "and I
am of the opinion that this was the
best trip we have ever made. The
territory was covered was practically
new, inasmuch that no advertising car
had ever passed over the route trav-
eled and this together with the NOV
ing picture show left in my opinion
a very favorable impression. A great
portion of that part of Nebraska we
visited had suffered from a drought
the past two years and many of the
farmers are selling out and preparing
to move and believe that we will
see splendid results and that Mime
sofa will receive great many immi-
grants from that state. Our corn,
clover, apples and vegetables proved
the biggest drawing card and many
of the Nebraska people could hardly
believe that the splendid corn we had
in the car was grown in Minnesota,
but the government reports, which we
always had on hand, proved convinc-
ing evidence to the Nebraska people
that Minnesota is superior to them in
growing corn. The car should be sent
out at least two months earlier"
said Mr.. Eddy. II find that the vim
ter months are the best time to reach
the farmers in these states, and ]
would recommend to the Board, that
if a similar car is sent next year, that
it should be started soon after Nov
ember 1st."
The car is being dismantled and the
produce taken from it, will be divided
into small permanent exhibits and
shipped to various points in Iowa, II
linois and Indiana where they will Ie
installed in the Offices of real estate
men, who are selling Minnesota farm
lands.

st. Paul, April 81. A. Caswell,
clerk Of the Supreme Court, filed as a
Republican candidate for reelection.
He is serving his first term, and as he
is very popular throughout the state,
his nomination and election is assured.
If the constitutional amendment In
creasing the number of supreme court
judges by two is adopted it gives the
court authority to appoint the clerk,
and Caswell will naturally receive the
appointment, so in case some other
man was elected, he might not get the
office.

Ed Walsh OispeIled a Hoodoo.
BY SQUARE DEAL


Ed Walsh DispeIIed a Hoodoo.
Ed Walsh had numerous things to re-
joice about when he beat the Yankees
recently and showed that he really had
come back. In addition to winning his
first full game Of the year he held a
batter hitless that he has always fear
ed above all others.
When Walsh was at the height Of
his pitching fame a baseball writer in
Chicago went to him and inquired how
he pitched to various batters. Big Ed
had at the tip Of his tongue methods
to circumvent Speaker. Cobb and
Crawford, but when The reporter men,
toned Birdie Cree Walsh had nothing
to say.
II don't know what to give that fell
low" Walsh confessed. He hits most

Cree came up III the eighth inning
in Walsh's comeback game with a
chance to drive home Il run. but Walsh
famed him. And now the pitcher will
have to look for another hoodoo bats

HISTORIC SWISS BRIDGE.
Famous Lucerne Structure Was Built
In 1888,

Famous Lueerne Structure Was Built
In 1888.
Lucerne, in Switzerland, possesses
what is probably the most curious
bridge in the world as we'll as one Of
the greatest historic interest. This
bridge, known as the Kapellbruecke,
or "Chapel BRIDGE" crosses the River
Reuss at its junction with Lake Luz
cerne. 1t was constructed so long ago
as 1888 and for nearly GOO years has
formed the chief avenue of traffic
across the broad but sluggish stream.
In other days the bridge extended its
zigzag shape to nearly twice its pres
ent length and reached as far as the
hofkirche, or cathedral, whence its
name.
In the center Of this covered wooden
bridge stands the famous octagonal
"wasserthurm," or water tower, where
In olden times the municipal treasure
was stored. For ages it was also used
as a prison, and among Its dungeons
is a torture chamber. But the most
unique feature Of all consists Of the
series Of curious pictures In the roof
Of the bridge. There are sixty-nine Of
these painted on triangular wooden
panels fitted into the pitched roof of
the bridge. One after another they
tell the salient facts Of Swiss history
or portray events in the life of the
saints of the town, st. Leodegar and
st. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Star.

FIRST CLASS MAIL SAFE.
Letters Free From Seizure by Nations

at War-Parcels Are Not.
The London naval conference OF
19OS-9 obligated belligerent nations to
respect first class mail and to forward
1t with all possible dispatch. even
when taken from IL contiscated ship.
The parcel post and other, classes Of
mail are not protected.
1t is only natural that in the general
European war the delay for ever first
class mail should be great. The two
cent rate to Germany. which was
established two years ago. is only for
mail which is carried direct to Ger
many. Letters to Germany with five
cent postage may be sent in ships OF
other countries.
1t Is Il rule now that when q mail
boat is searched by Il nation ut war
the search shall be completed as
O as possible and the vessel permit
ted to proceed. II the mail boat il
confiscated for carrying contraband It
Is the duty of the nation making the
seizure to see that the mail goes on its
way. IT necessary it's shipment on u
neutral vessel must he provided for.
Searching mail has been practically
abolished among nations because it Is
impracticable. The mail matter is too
vast for the waste Of time in looking
It over for communications that may
bear on war. Parcel post, however,
may carry c%ontraband articles, md it
Is not afforded the same protection as
mail.
Railroads in a b%elligerent country
are usually in use for military pur-
poses, and mail might meet with long
delays. The rule for the protection of
mail was reached from Il lesson learned
during the Russo-Japanese war, when
the seizure of u mail ship by Russia
caused great inconvenience to several
European nations.

upon Europe so suddenly and So
d~isastrously and sent one great
- nation after the other into the

fact that Austria declared war against

A Historic Date, July %.
Seldom in history has the specter Of
war so suddenly revealed itself to the
world. The hostile declaration of Aus
tria, dated July %, was so totally un-
expected by the Seryians that their
renowned general, Potnik, the victori-
Gus leader of Servian armies in the
wars of 1912 and 1913, was actually
in Vienna at that moment and was
arrested while hurrying to his own
country, though subsequently released.
TO that document, expressed in the
most positive and unmistakable Ian
guage,, with a demand for a reply in
twenty-four hours by the clock, the
Servian government, gasping with
establishment, returned an answer.
