COMMANDMENTS REVISED

The following ten commandments
are offered for the guidance of cata-
logue house patrons:
1. You shall sell your farm pro-
ducts for cash whenever you can, but
not to us. We do nor buy from you.
2. You shall believe our statements
and buy all you need from Us, because
we want to be good to you, although
we are not personally acquainted with
you.
8. You shall send your money in adj
vance to give us a chance to get the
goods from the factory with your
money; meanwhile you will have to
wait patiently few weeks, as that is
our business method.
4. You shall apply to your nearest
city to aid you in building good roads
SO you can conveniently get the goods
from the depot, for we do not build
country roads.
5. You shall buy the church bells
and church fixtures from us and for
ward the money in advance, for this
is our business method, and you shall
collect from the business men in your
vicinity as puch money as you can
for the benefit Of your churches os it
is against our rules to donate for
building country churches.
6. You shall buy your tools from
US and be your own mechanic in or
der to drive the mechanics from your
vicinity, for we wish it so.
Z. You shall induce your neighbor
to buy everything from US, as we have
room for more money-the less mon
ey there is in your community, the
sooner we can put your local mer-
chants out of business and charge
you any price we please.
8. You shall look often at the
beautiful pictures in our catalogue,
so your wishes will increase, and SO
you will send in big order, al
though you are not in immediate need
of the goods, otherwise you might
have some money left to buy some ne
cessary goods from your local mer-
chant.
|. 9. You shall have the merchants
who repair the goods you buy from us
book the bills, so you can send the
money for his labor to us for new
goods, otherwise he will not notice
our influence.
10. You shall, in case OF sickness or
need, apply to your local dealer for
aid and credit, as we do not know you
or care to.-Inland Grocer.

FOOD FOR CHICKS.

Chicks should not be fed until at
least So hours old. Fresh water and
fine grit must be supplied. The first
feed may be hard-boiled-egg mix
ture with stale bread, bread soaked in
sweet milk, but squeezed dry, or com
mercial chick feed. Young chicks
should be fed every two hours during
the first week but only what they will
eat up quickly. Fine charcoal and
grit should be supplied in a hopper, as
instinct leads the chicks to eat these.
When the chicks are old enough to
leave the hen, roosts may be put in
the coop if it is of sufficient size to
hold the brood A yard or creep
should be furnished that will keep out
the grown stock and allow the chicks
to feed themselves. Hoppers filed
with a dry mash Of equal parts OF
wheat bran, wheat middlings, corn
meal and sifted ground oats will aid
in keeping the chicks growing and
getting new feathers. The grain i. e.
cracked corn and cracked wheat or
chick feed may be supplied in hoppers
and with drinking fountain for water
and milk the time required in caring
for the several flocks may be thereby
greatly reduced.
Sweet or sour milk and cottage
cheese are great aids In supplying a
growing ration while the chicks are
small. The use Of these animal pro-
ducts of the farm will save the ex-
pense of beef scraps which most
poultrymen are compelled to buy.
When the chicks are half grown they
will find worms, grasshoppers and
bugs, if given range by moving their
roosting coops or colony houses about
the rounds IN. E. Chapman, Poultry
Specialist, University Farm, st. Paul.

Butter and the Tariff.

. St. Cloud Journal-Press: A year
ago the price of butter in New York
was AZ cents a pound. Now the tor
price is 251a cents-because New
York is a great seaport and gets
first chance at the butter brought IN
from European countries. Conditions
are not quite as bad in the West, be-
cause it costs money to bring the for
eign butter into the interior of this
country. Butter is even higher in st
Cloud now than in New York, but
but even in the Sanity City there has
been drop. A year ago the Local
creamery was paying 38 cents fol
butter fat, and today the price is p
cents. Last year the lowest price was

CHANGES In CHARTER
Voters Will Consider Eleven Amends
to the State Constitution at Com
ing General Election in Nov.

Eleven constitutional amendments
will be submitted to the voters OF
Minnesota at the general election in
November. At the 1912 election sew
en- amendments were presented by the
Legislature, but only two passed, one
being the levying Of good roads tax
and the other increasing the railroad
gross earnings tax from four to five
per cent.
The amendments to be submitted
this year follow in the order in which
they will appear on the ballot:
Initiative and referendum.
Increasing number of associate JUS
tees of Supreme court from four TO
six, providing that no statute shall be
held unconstitutional by less than five
judges and that the clerk shall be ap-
pointed by the court instead Of being
elected as at present.
Setting apart a revolving fund of
not over $3.50, 900 from the school and
swamp land funds to be used in con-
structing roads, bitches and frebreaks
in and around unsold school and
swamp lands. -
Repeating constitutional provision
for the publication of the annual re-
port of the state treasurer.
Authorizing the investment Of the
permanent school fund in mortgages
on improved farm lands will the
state.
Increasing the term of probate judi
ges from two to four years.
Limiting number of senators from
any one district to seven, commonly
known as the "seven senators" bill.
Providing for the payment Of boun-
ties to encourage the planting and
cultivating Of useful trees.
Authorizing the setting apart Of
certain state lands as state forests.
Providing for the recall of public
officials.
Authorizing the enactment by the
legislature Of laws taxing dogs and
from the funds derived from such a
tax provide for the damages sustain
ed by the owners of domestic animals
by reason of injuries caused by dogs.
The amendments relating to the
loaning of trust funds on farm mort
cages and the seven senators measure
were submitted in 1912, both being
defeated. The constitution provides
that an amendment must be approved
by a majority Of the voters casting
ballots at the election at which it
submitted. In 1912 there were 349,-
678 votes cast and majority was
174,679. The vote on all the amend
ments however was far below the to-
tai cast and the two amendments ap-
proved barely got by.
The amendment providing for the
initiative and referendum, because it
is first on the ballot and because it
has been widely advertised, is gener-
ally thought to be sure Of passage.
The supreme court changes proposed
may also be approved, but it is gen.
orally thought that the others will
fall by the wayside because of lack
Of interest, unless a vigorous cam
paign is waged for their enactment
into the organic law of the state. It
nearly always has proved in Mime
sofa that the first amendment on the
ballot gets the most votes.

State Press
Political Comment
An Unbiased View.

LeSueur News: Mr.. Lee is against
machine politics. That is he is
against the Eberhart machine and for
the Lee machine. A fellow who is
not holding office or expecting office
can readily see this, and the condition
includes a great majority of the
voters.

Which Machine?

LIE Seur News: When telling of
machine candidates for governor it
would be well to designate whether it
is the Eberhart-Smith machine, the
Lee-Iverson-Pet erson-Jacobson ma
chine, the Hammond-Lynch machine
or Dan Lawler that is meant. The
men looking for meal ticket have 9
machine just the same as those who
hold such a ticket. The facts are it
is fight made by those fellows
wanting political jobs, against those
holding them. The promises all sides
are making, if analysed and weighed,
would nicely balance without ad-
vantage to either. Gov. Eberhart has
his hand on the lever now and has
certain improvements under consider
alton that may be beneficial if adopt
ed. The other fellows are just dream
ing.

A Man With Spirit.

Todd County Argus: H. J. Max
field, republican candidate for Con-
gress, is making an impression over
the district. He is now out on his
campaign tour of the district and will
visit every part of it between now and
the primaries. Mr.. Maxfeld is the
man with the Republican spirit and a
man who will do things for his dis
trict if elected. Mr.. Lindbergh, the
present incumbent, has held this place
since 1906-personally mighty fine
fellow-but what has he accomplished
for this district? This district is one
of the most important in Minnesota,
and we know of no other man in the
entire district who is better qualified
to represent us than Mr.. Maxfeld.

viii Make Good Congressma an.

Paynesville Press: II. j. Maxfeld
of Wadena has an announcement in
this weeks Press of his candidacy for
representative in the. national house
from this district. Mr.. Maxfield has
been immigration commissioner for
this state and is now in the real estate
business. He will no doubt make a
good representative if he gets the
plum.

Uphill Work for William.

Starbuck Times (Pro.): It seems
to be an uphill job to stir up enthusi-
asm for VIM. E. Lee for governor in
many places A meeting for the pur-
pose called in st. Paul some time ago
had to be postponed because so few
came out that it wasn't thot worth
while to do anything. A second meet
ing was held one day this week at
which Is men were present. This
meeting went to work and formed a
Lee organization for Ramsey county.

26 cents, and that for only few days
in June. This is now March, only a
few months after tariff reduction,
and the price is even lower. What can
be expected in the flush season? A
loss of 13 cents a pound on butter fat
will mean many thousands Of dollars
to the farmers of Stearns county
alone. To the average farmer who
sells about two hundred pounds of
butter fat a month it means loss of
over three hundred dollars a year.
Eggs, another product of the farm,
are also on the toboggan. And the
Democratic party has long advertised
itself as "the friend of the farmer"
Lindbergh and Maxfeld.
Brainerd Tribune: Size up the two
men, Lindbergh and Maxfeld.
Linbergh, a shifty, slippery, shy
ster politician. No one ever knows
how he will vote upon any bill, and
he doesn't know himself. He is often
on both sides of the same question,
and once he actually voted both for
and against bill! Where he stands
today on any question is no indication
where he will stand tomorrow. So far
as his public record shows, he has few
convictions that are not absolutely at
the service of his personal advantage.
Lindbergh has earned the plying con-
tempt Of all men of all parties who be-
lieve that principles are the things to
stand by even to a mans own hurt.
sMaxfeld, a sturdy, fearless, and
able chompion Of the right under all
circumstances, with the courage of his
convictions and the independence to
act, regardless of personal considera-
tions; a practical man, man who
does things typical Northern Mime
sofa booster-a man who will work in
congress for the interests of his con-
stituents, along practical lines. Every
one who knows H. J. Maxfeli and is
familiar with his record knows that he
is a man that the people can trust, and
knows also that the people will
know 365 days in the year just where
he stands on any proposition.
Maxfeld, the practical man-Lind-
bergh, the dreamer and theorist.
Maxfeld, the manly man-Lind-
bergh the shifty shyster.
Take your choice!

Telephone Company Not Ready
to Furnish Data For
Franchise.
60 MORE DAYS ARE NEEDED.
Meantime Lines Are Working
and Patrons Are Patient
ly Waiting.

Rome was not built in day, neith-
er can a telephone franchise be con-
structed in a month, two months, or
three months.
After weeks of unavoidable de-
lay on the part of the Fiscal Court
committee and the officials of the
Christian-Todd Telephone Company
in preparing a franchise, to- be APP
proved by the court and then offered
at public sale, the Telephone Com
pany has announced that it still needs
about sixty days, or more, in which
to find out just what property it has
and to furnish the committee with
all the data it asks for.
Of course the committee consented
to give the telephone company what
time is necessary.
An expert is here taking inven-
tories of the property of the COM
pany, assisted by Mr.. D. G. Edwards,
former local manager, and they
should be and doubtless will be given
all the time necessary to be prepared
to secure the franchise when it is
offered for sale.

THEY WERE
ALL THERE.
And Nobody Complained OF a
Dull Time---All Enjoyed
Themselves.

The Elks Lodge was the scene of
an old-time open session Tuesday
night. At the meeting of the Lodge
Mayor Frank Yost and j. B. Lindsay
were initiated and about so members
helped to make the ceremonies SOL
emn and impressive. As both of the
new members were anxious to make
speeches, the lodge went into open
session and while Alex Overshiner
did the Inequalities the oratory was
turned on and both made some very
touching remarks.
Hon. Austin Peay, of GAINESVILLE,
was among the speakers and con-
fessed that he lived at GAINESVILLE as
a matter of preference but said he
was very glad to be in Hopkinsville
if only for one night. He was given
the glad hand and much sympathy
was expressed for him. He is too
fine a fellow to live in GAINESVILLE.
The crowd was in no hurry to break
up and but few of them seem to
know just what time they got home.

WAS in SEVETY-SIXTH YEAR.
Was Elder in Cumberland Pres
byterian Church For Many
Years.

Mr.. George V. Lacy died Monday
evening about 6 o'clock, at his home.

months with a complication of dis
eases, his heart being involved. Flu
neral services were held yesterday
morning at 1890 o'clock and the re-
mains were laid to rest in Riverside

, A long step was taken in Kidding
the country of boss rule, W h e n
Joseph Cassidy. the manipulation Of
Queens, New York, was convicted
of selling a judicial nomination and
sent to the penitentiary. The art Of
controlling the votes of other people
for the furtherance of selfish ends
and corrupt practices is becoming
more unpopular every year. This is
one cause for the rapid growth of a
widespread sentiment in favor of
commissions of business men instead
of political rings and cliques to run
the affairs of municipalities large and
small. The time has come for the
professional boss to take a back seat.
