Baraccas To Have Nice Club Room.
If nothing interferes with the plans
of the members Of the Broadway
Baptist church, the Baraca class will
have a finely equipped class and club
room before the summer IS very lar
advanced. 1t is planned to utilize
the basement now being used as
class room by the classes for a bath
room and gymnasium and when the
two-story annex is completed the
upper floor will be used as a class
room and the lower for reading room
and assembly hall for social parties.
The plans have been under dis
CussiOn for some time and ii Is sta
ted upon good authority that they
will be executed before very long.
The Baraca class of the Broadway
Baptist church is probably the larg-
est in point of numbers of any in
the city or for that matter any in
this section of the state and it is
believed that the club room will aug
ment it greatly and help to maintain
interest in the organization.

Commissioner of immigration To
Place Exhibits In 8 States
Iowa, Illinois and Indiana.

Arrangement are now being made
by Fred D. Sherman, Commissioners Of
Immigration, to put on large and
complete Minnesota agricultural ex-
hibits at various fairs Of the states of
Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. Begin
ming in August at Galesburg, Illinois,
where a district fair is held, the work
of showing of Minnesota's farm pro-
ducts will start. Among other fairs
to be visited are Indianapolis, Indiana
Springfield, Illinois, Waterloo, Iowa;
and possibly other large district and
tri-county fairs will be included in
the itinerary. In some places it is
impossible to secure space in build
ings, and in these cases a large tent,
30x30, has been secured and the ex-
hibit will be shown under canvas.
II am trying to get as many boost
ers from Minnesota to attend these
fairs as can said Mr.. Sherman, 'as
realize that 1t is much easier for the
state to get publicity when accom-
panied by good sized delegation"
At the fairs of Indianapolis, Indi-
ana. and Springfield, Illinois, the var
ious railroad companies, associations
and commercial clubs will be repre-
sented with delegates, who will spend
a few days at the Minnesota booth
boosting for the state; and many COM
mercial clubs will have representa-
tives on the ground to look after the
interests of their particular county.

SEVEN VARIETIES

Seven different varieties Of flies are
found in our homes, SO per cent of
which are represented by the common
housefly. Flies lay their eggs only In
fermenting or, decaying substances
by preference in manure. Hence every
stable Is a center Of infection unless
periodically disinfected. The fly mag

about 10 days after the egg has been
laid, 1t is estimated that a single fly,
laying 120 eggs at a time, will pro-
duce a progeny amounting to sextil-
lions by the end of the season. -:
The numbers of bacteria upon a
single fly have been proved to range
all the way from $50 to 100000. The
average for IA flies which were ex-
amined at the agricultural experiment
station at Storrs, Conn.,, was 1,250,000
bacteria apiece. This represents about

Commissioner Of Corporations
Issues Report On Timberlands
In This Country.

Slowly but surely the facts regard
ing the exent Of land monopoly in the
United States are coming out. The
latest report of the United States
Commissioner of Corporations shows
how concentrated Is the: ownership Of
timberlands. ST.
In the southwestern part Of the
State: of: Washington. ~ per cent Of
the timber lands is owned by two
holders. Il
In the western part of Oregon, five
individuals own Sc per cent Of the
| timber lands.
In northwestern California six in
dividuals own 10 per cent of these
lands. r.
In the redwood district, ten individ-
uals own more than half
In the north central part of Idaho,
four persons own So per cent of he
timber lands. ~<s
One-twentieth of the entire land
area of the: United States ID owned
by 1864 proprietors Of timber lands,
| that Is they own 105,600,OO0 acres.
Sixteen individuals Of the 1854 own
47,S00,000 acres; &C., q. =: g
oAaCe NluCn OF This tim Derlan0 Is
| suitable for agriculture, or can easily
| be made so, it is not only that indus
tries In need of timber which suffer
from this monopoly, but the spread
of agriculture is checked, and the pro-
| cess of Initiating farm land values
| chiefly responsible for the high cost
! Of living-is thus intensified.
It was recently shown by w. r.
| Northrop, in the Single Tax Review of
New York City, that the railroads are
! owners of 200.0OO,OOO acres of land.
Perhaps some Of this land is included
also in the 105,6O0,O0O acres of mon
opolized timber lands, but more of it
is not so included, so that the rail-
roads together with the 1854 holders
of timber lands must own at least
one-eighth of the area Of the United
State. When to these are added such
monopolists as Miller and Lux with
their millions Of acres, the oil mon
opolists, mining land monopolists,
large owners Of city lands and the
owners of rented farm lands. it will be
! evident that lions share Of the ma
tons resources is held by much
smaller number than the average man

This process of concentration IL
| steadily going on. To what it must
finally lead, If left unchecked, can be
seen by taking a look at Mexico.
