WILSON EXPLAINS
SLACK BUSINESS

washington, June 2.-President will
son again today expressed his cOnyic-
ton that any Unsatisfactory condition
OF business was not general, but was
felt less in the United States than any
otner part of the world. Mr.. Wilson
reiterated his view at the first confer

correspondents since the Mexican sit

ever. on that subject and the Niagara

barred.
In reply to inquiries concerning the

He does not believe the tariff has
anything to do with the depression.
Discussing the Clayton trust bill, the

State Becomes Dairying Center.

Minnesota rapidly is becoming the
greatest dairying state in the union,
according to dairying experts at the
university farm. More than !, 125, 900
COWS are being MIXED in the state
today and only one state exceeds
this in the net return per COW for
each year.
,'t:The cause of the improvement, -
Prof. T. L. Hacker says, els the
fact that dairymen in Minnesota are
beginning to realize more and more
the value of raising dairy stock for
dairy purposes only. There has been
a tremendous awakening during the
past years to the modern methods of
stock breeding and progressive dairy
men are breeding herds with dairy
heredity. That is to say, they are
breeding dairy cattle for dairy pur-
poses from cattle which have been
producers before Them s. .
Ordinary COWS, according to Prof.
Hacker, produce an approximate
average of l25 pounds year of but
terfat. Good dairy cows should pro-
duce 300 pounds each with proper
feeding. One of the herd at the
university farm last year produced
1913 pounds of butterfat without ex-
ira care or attention. i,
'From careful Investigation we
find that our common COWS are, cap
able of producing much larger yield
than is obtained from the average
COW in the state. -.
II am inclined to believe that the
farmers have not given as close
study to the feeding problem as they
should, for various reasons. One. be-
cause many of them do not under
stand the terms employed by instruc-
tors, and, because the information
given has not been sufficiently defin-
tie and practical to command the
confidence of the farmers.''

Supreme Court Reverses Decision.

Attorney E. L. Mcmillan recently
argued another case successfully be-
fore the state supreme court. It is
merely another evidence of his abil-
ity as a lawyer. Mr.. Mcmillan ranks
high in the legal profession and as
an ATTORNEY has few equals. The
case was that of Charles A. Geddes
VS.. Jacob Van Rhee and it had been
twice tried in the district court of
Mile Laos county. The first trial
occurred during the r. April, 1913,
term of court, and the jury dis
agreed. The case was again tried
the following October and the jury,
after being out number of hours,
returned verdict for the defendant
under the ive-sixths jury law-only
ten jurymen concurring in the YER
dict. The matter was argued before
the supreme court, July 3, and the
decision of the lower court was re.
versed Attorney J. D. Sullivan, of
ST. Cloud represented the respon-
dents. Following is the syllabus:
