 neither the loose stones on the ground nor the rock-ribbed frame beneath the soil, but stratif1eation. It is a de- posit of ideas and beliefs and maxims from the popular consciousness, con stituting popular habit Hence pub iic opinion is a force of mechanism, not of personality; of authority, not of freedom; of memory, not of hope. It Is museum in which the experiences of the past are preserved, not a temple in which the ideals of the future are wershipped. Perhaps we might call it Zeitgeist, time spirit age-drift Now. the life of people at a given point of time. Still, public opinion is con- | sciousness of custom. and not of ideal! Public opinion is a mighty power. But there is one thing in the world l one only-that is more powerful. That is truth. The proof of this is that, since the world began, no man ever l laid down his life for public opinion
 as such. But any man in whose heart
 and conscience truth has found root ! and home will die for it.

WHAT is MACARONT AND
WHAT IS EGG NOODLES!
IL questions are discussed

These questions are discussed in
Special Food Bulletin for March and
some interesting data with re.
gard to why American-made macaroni
n egg noodles have not been more
popular in the United States in years
past, and showing how thees products
may be improved SO as to become as
popular as the genuine imported artt-
Gle.
The same bulletin discusses the Ques-
ton Of tincture of ferric chloride as
taken up at the drug stores and shows
a product Of fairly uniform strength.
The scores for many of slaughter
houses in the state are also given,
showing a falling-off from preceding
years. In 1909 the score averaged 80
on a basis of 100; In 1912 the score
reached Is; but during the past year
the score has fallen again to So.
There is also discussed a case OF
poisoning a child by h use OF worm
syrup, and there is pointed out the
danger that comes from the use OF pow
erful ingredients such as are found IN
worm syrups generally on h market.
The question OF purifying the air is
also considered, n there is pointed out
the fact that the so-called "air puri-
fers' now being SO extensively adver-
tised have not been shown to purify
the air in actual practice. The advice
Of the department is to go slow before
instailing one of these air purifiers
which, it would seem, simply masks the
odor but leaves all OF the injurious pro-
ducts present.

The distance between the cities of the
league has been extended, the
schedulemakers have endeavored to
arrange the playing dates most favor
ably with the idea Of gathering the
fans most liberal patronage and the
1914 season probably will determine
whether a league in this section Of the
northwest is PRACTICAL. A few minor
chnges in the draft Of the schedule as
originally adopted have been suggest
ed. but. according to Pres. John Bur-

SUPERIOR SALE May
HAVE GOOD EFFECT

Winopa. Mimi, April 1.-THE pass
ing Of W. ]. (Bill) Sommer as one Of
the powers in the Northern league
was watched with keen interest by
club owners, players and fans all over
the little wheel. Sommer, as owner of
the controlling stock of the Superior
club, has been a conspicuous figure,
not only in the deliberations Of the
leagues executive board, ut in the de-
velopments during the progress of the
championship roces. While he lacked
the faculty of tempting all Of the
Superior fans through the admission
gates OF the park, he nevertheless
made his baseball enterprise profitable.
His sale Of RUDE Schauer to the New
York Giants last year was one of the
incidents in the life of the youthful
organization and incidentally he
engineered the transaction in such a
n that it paid him handsome
ly.
Sommer has sold his club holdings
to Superior business men and will live
in California. The announcement Of
The sale did not come as a surprise in
many quarters, for it had been known
for some time that the club was on
the market. In fact, he offered a
proposition to Fred Curtis, former
Superior manager, which indicates
that he sold at a sacrifice. Around
the Northern circuit it Is believed the
change in ownership at the Wisconsin

MILLERS LOSE TO OMAHA

Omaha, Neb, April AFTER being
defeated, 3 to 2. by the local Western
league club Saturday, the Millers were
humbled again here Sunday by the same
crew, 8 to 0.
Joe Canfillon's men looked pretty bad
here against the pitching of Ormsby
and Hicks, the visitors making only
one hit and not one of the Minneapolis
men reaching second base. Pitcher
Schmirler saved the Minneapolis team
from participating in the sad part of a
no-hit sketch, the recruit hurler garn-
ering a single off Hicks in the ninth
inning. ...
! Further evidence that the Omaha
pitchers had the Indian sign on the
association batters Is shown by the
fact that only three putouts were cred
tied to the o~utfielders.
A base on balls, a sacrifice and a
hit Melted the home club one run in
the first inning. Errors by Schmirler
and Whelan, a sacrifice, a hit and a
pass with the bases damned resulted in
two more run for the locals in the
third frame.

CANTILLON KNOWN AS
~. 100000 BEAUTY

Omaha, Neb., April 7.-Joseph Cantil-
lon, manager and part owner Of the
Minneapolis American association club,
Is all smiles and Is thoroughly enjoy
ing the notoriety that has come to him
through having refused a Federal
league offer of S105,000 for a seven
year contract. He's a regular 500, 900
beauty, but wears his honors modestly.
The immense offer was made because
Of Cantillon's wide acquaintance with
baseball players and the moral effect
his going to the third big loop would
have. h Federal figured Joe could
pull in the great diamond stars in
shoals.
A Genuine Offer.
In the aggregate, it is the largest Of
fer ever made in baseball. There was
no question about its genuineness. Of
icials high in the councils of the new

years salary with a trust company II
the manager would affix his name to a
document. Joe doesn't deny hat he
gave the offer serious consideration.

When the Federal league invaded
Brooklyn some time ago and secured
men of wealth and standing to back
that club, a search for a manager was
begun. The Wards, wne of the
franchise, asked President Gilmore to
secure Joe Cant1llon for them, and the
Federal league Immediately got in
touch with the Miller boss.
One stood Pat,
An envoy was sent to Hickman, the
Cantillon winter home, to go over the
whole matter with Joe. Not satisfied,
the Federals kept after Joe, and last
week a man was sent to ST. Joseph to
see If he would not reconsider.

economical manner, such as suggested
by Commissioner Jordan. .
In most Of the great cities Of
Europe, such as London and Paris,
and many others, the produce markets
are located in the very heart of the
population-easy Of approach from all
directions, and il Mr.. Jordan's try
out plan is put into execution and
proves to be successful the matter of
establishing a permanent market
should be left to the majority Of the
taxpayers to decide.
A market, to be available and prof
liable to the people Of any city, should
be located as near it's center as a
suitable site can be secured regard
less Of cost; for the economic reason
that location is either a permanent
benefit or a permanent damage to any
public enterprise of this sort. 1t
should not be forgotten, however, that
where produce markets have been a
success the climatic conditions have
largely contributed to this end, but
our climate is decidedly against a
reasonable expectation Of conducting
a profitable market Of this kind in
