Duffper Dies
Following Long Illness

The community was panied TO learn
on Thanksgiving day of the death of
Mr.. August Duffner, who for twenty
five years had been conducting a drug
store in this city.
For many years Mr.. Duffner had
been a sufferer from tuberculosis. He
sought other climates but without
avail. He spent some months in Col.
orado and later in the south, but the
disease appeared to have firmly fast
ened itself upon him, and about a
year or two ago he returned to his
home in this city to await patiently
the end.
Mr.. Duffner came to this city in the
early pioneer days from Beaver Dam,
| Wis, where he was born fo%rty-nine
years ago. He first entered the en-
tploy of Tarbell & Williamson, but in
1889 he established a drug store of
his own, which he conducted contin-
uously up to the time of his death.
For the past two years his faithful
wife has devoted a considerable Of
her time to a personal supervision of
the business, Mr.. Duffner being IN
able 10 leave his home.
The deceased is survived by his
wife and five children, the eldest of
whom is about 20 and the youngest
about 8. His mother also survives
him, as do his three brothers, Man
and Otto of Arizona, and Carl of this
city, and two sisters, Mrs. Bert Fuller
Of Idaho and Miss Gertrude Duffner
of this city.
Mr.. Duffner was a member of the
following local lodges: the Elks, the
knights of Columbus, the A. o. U. w.
an dthe Woodmen.
The funeral was held Monday from
the Immaculate Conception church.

The Mexican Situation

John Lind. former governor of Min.
n@esota. personal representative OF the
president of the United States in
Mexico during the Huerta regime, and
noted hardly less in the latter capac.
lily for r~eticence than for his ability
as an intelligent observer OF events,
at length has broken silence. IN an
address before the Industrial club OF
Chicago a few days ago he expressed
with considerable frankness hfs
views with regard to the present and
future of the neighboring republic.
These views, 1t may be said, conincide
with those expressed on more than
one occasion In the editorial columns
of the Christian Science Monitor. Mr..
Lind seems to have been convinced
from all he saw and heard while IN
Mexico that permanent peace cannot
be maintained in that country until
the question fundamental to the vel.
fare OF the great mass of Its people,
that involving q general and equitable
division Of the land, shall be settled.
Our readers have already been
made familiar with many Of the
points brought out by Mr.. Lind; that
Mexico is a land OF great ~haciendas,
Or estates owned by an aristocracy;;
that the landed a~ristocrats carry vast
[areas OF fertile land in idleness,s o as
pasturage, while the people In general
are denied ownership OF even small
patches of the soft; that handful
0f landed gentry own nearly the entire
AREA OF states; that poverty has held
tthe masses Of the people, nofninally
free, in actual peonage, and that the
natural desire OF these people Tor
Hand possession and home ownership
/ has been at the bottom Of every re
Ecent revolutionary movement. Mr.,
Land holds that the Mexican people
are not turbulent BY reason Of their
race, but by reason Of the wrongs
Ifhey have suffered and are suffering,
THESE wrongs are economic and social
quite as much as political IN charac-
Ter; they can only be removed througf

Anna Howard Shaw's logic when in
writing a biography of herself, she
starts out with this peculiar declara-
ton: Like most men, my dear father

If 1t be a fact that most men

ages? Or, would she just let it sort

Farm Demonstrations

spread Of county agricultural demon
stration system in the northern and
western states as has the year o

A year ago, for example, in Mime

supporting county agents were a
small group about the headwaters of
the Minnesota river. This year not
only has that group grown, but the
work has spread also to the farthest
corners of the state.
In the far north, there are county
agents in Carlton, Crow Wing, Kooch-
iching and st. Louis counties, and
the virus has spread into Wisconsin,
for Douglas county in which Superior
is located, has one, 100, on the Iowa
border, Faribault and Jackson coun-
ties have taken up the new idea, and
Of course, Hennepin and Ramsey
have such agents, and the work has
spread TO Washington and Dakota
counties.
Practically half the area of North
Dakota is now under the influence of
the county agents. On the Canadian
border. the county agents start in

This Searchlight Rivals the Sun

A new type of search lamp which at a distance of five miles will produce about five times as intense illumination as the ordinary types will is being experimented with by the United States navy, says the Electrical World.
 Heretofore, in the attempt to produce more powerful search lamps, large reflec- tors have been used and large currents have been made to flow through the are between. relatively small cartoons The lat ter method of developing an intense light has until now been limited by the fact that carbon volatizes at extremely high temperatures and is therefore consumed very rapidly. In the new search lamp the dimensions are kept small without causing the cartoons to deteriorate rap idly. by rotating them in stream of al- cohol vapor.
 Although the vapor ignites and burns with non-luninous flame, it's tempera- ture is so much lower than that of the cartoons that it actually cools them. The cooling also concentrates the arc and keeps 1t at the focus of the reflector. thereby causing the light rays to ex- tend in practically parallel lines from the reflector and to produce intense illumina tion even at great distances.
