PENSION FOR TEACHERS

At the last session of the Minnesota
legislature teachers pension law was
passed, emitting all teachers who have
taught continuously in the schools of the
state for twenty years to a pension, pro-
viding that at the end of the twenty
years they retire from the teaching pro-
fession, although some other line of oc-
cupation may be followed. The teachers
entitled to this pension will receive $3.50
the first year and an increase of $4,000
a year thereafter until the sum of $4,000
is reached, which is the limit of the
fund.
County Superintendent Of Schools R..

CAR SHORTAGE.

In order to prevent if possible the
shortage Of equipment with which this
state is threatened, on account of the
heavy grain crop, the following sug-
gestiors are offered by the Minnesota
Railroad and Warehouse Commission.
Shippers Should:
(1) Make request for cars on the
station agent in writing, which is the only
direct way of obtaining the equipment
promptly.
(2) Should load cars as promptly as
possible and to full capacity of cars
ordered, and not take advantage of the
full free time allowed for loading, and
should give the railway company notice
when car is ready for release.
81 See that sufficient grain or other
products is on hand to load the cars to
their capacity when spotted for loading.
az Not use cars for storage while
waiting for delivery of grain or potatoes
to make carloads. -
(5) Not place order for more cars
than absolutely needed. .
Consignees Should: =
(6) Unload cars as promptly as posi-
BILE, and not take advantage of the free
time allowed for unloading, and should
give the railway company immediate
notice when car is ready for release. yis
7) Give disposition of all cars as
quickly as possible after arrival rat
destination. 81. "a. ,,,.,.,.s.. az .,.et

at each station showing names of parties

nation.
Q1) Have necessary repairs made at

Q2) Make arrangements without de-

The Commission believes that the
carrying out of these suggestions will no
doubt to large extent remove causes for
complaints, and again urgently requests
cooperation. i

70 Ahead But Leave Our Boys.


Do you read the Minneapolis Daily
News? If you do not, here's an item
taken from its editorial page which is
worth one or two readings.
Theodore E. Burton, former U. S.
senator from Ohio, wants lot more
soldiers and guns and other fighting
equipment. He points to the fact
that there are hundreds of thousands
of other Americans who agree with him
in his larger army ideas.
Mr.. Burton and these hundreds of
thousands of other Americans plan to
remove hundreds of thousands of boys
from our farms, mills, factories and shops
and plant them in barracks and tented
fields to learn the war game.
Now, as matter of fact, we need
those boys right where they are-in
field and factory.
Buff Mr.. Burton and the other
Hundreds of thousands who think
with him, want to shoulder gun and
learn how to be a soldier, we have no
particul ar objection. They would make
as good cannon fodder as any others
would. And, if our preparedness
should then push us into war, why we
would have Mr.. Burton and his several
hundreds of thousands ready to march
right off.

New Ulm has a reputation for hospi.

all worthily proud. But New Ulm also
has another reputation which makes
many of us more or less ashamed when
we see the results of it upon people who
come here prepared to live up to their
idea Of the place. New Ulm citizens
are not accustomed to see any large
number of persons under the influence
at any time except when we have visitors
whose chief object in coming here seems
to be. to find out how big load they can
carry down the street. Isn't it about
ZINE that we do something to show our

particular reason that we know OF for
aiding and abetting foolish fellows in

We have been thinking about the
difficulty of getting enuf cars to make a
respectable showing in the Sociability
Rum planned by the Commercial Club.
Sleepy Eye had more than forty cars
when they made their tour couple of
weeks ago. New Ulm ought to be easily
able with it's greater number of autos to
get out seventy-fve. But will this be
done? Have you done your share to
make it possible? It's up to everybody to
make arrangements to get away for the
day. 1t might be suggested that those
who do not own cars of their own and
yet, want to go, make a business
proposition to some owner Of a car to take

that there will be plenty of cars on hand

first time in Minnesota in September,
1915, or later, must become members
of the association Those who were not
teaching in Minnesota April 20, 1915,
who teach in this state in the future, are
required to become members, even
though they may have taught in this
state previous to the passage of'the law.
Such teachers must make application
to the Board of Trustees at St. Paul to
secure credit for past experience. If
such application is not made the clerk is
authorized to collect assessment as from
teacher commencing this year.
Those who were teaching in Minnesota
April 20, 1915, when the bill was passed,
may become members of the association
by making application for same, which
has to be done before September, 1917.
The various sums that the teachers
are required to pay toward this fund are
as follows: $500 for the first five years
of teaching service, $1,000 for the next
five years, $4,000 for the next ten years
and $4,000 for the next. five years.

s1LO 1NsUREs THE CORN CROP.

Most farmers feel more or less anxiety
about their corn crop this year, but those
who feel the least anxiety are those on
whose farms stand silos. The reason is
simple. The silo makes it possible to
save corn that might otherwise, owing
to immaturity, be almost wholly wasted.
The farmer, therefore, who has been
thinking of building silo should get into
action, and the man who has not been
thinking of building silo, should think
and act promptly.
This is not to say that there is no hope
of maturing the corn now growing mot
at all. It is to say, however, that the
corn is much behind time in it's progress
toward maturity, and therefore in grea-
ter danger than usual Of being caught by
killing frosts before it is wholly mature.
A silo will prevent total loss.
Because farmers are thinking sic"
these days the following points as to
silos are worth keeping in mind.
The walls must be air-tight.
The walls must be smooth inside.
The best type of silo is round.
The roof should be waterproof.
The structure should be substantial.
1t has to stand much pressure.
The cost should be from 81 to IS for
each ton of capacity, provided the total
capacity is to exceed 100 tons.
A silo IA feet in diameter and 80 feet
high will hold 100 tons.
One hundred tons OF silage will feed
rs head of stock for 200 days.
A silo should be placed as near as pos
sible to the place at which the silage is
to be fed, and should be on the least ex-
posed side or end of the barn.
Any type Of good silo is a valuable
adjunct to the farm equipment where
.therei S live stock to feed.

David Caplan and Matthew A
Schmidt, who are to be tried fo1
completely in the murder of the men II
the Los Angeles Times Building, in 1910
were indicted by grand jury practically
selected by F. J. Zeehandelaar, Secretary
of the local Merchants and Manufac
turers' Association, which financed the
prosecution of the McNamaras. A let.
ter to the prosecuting attorney has beer
found, in which Zeehandelaar 0. KS
the names of a number of persons sug.
gested for grand jurors. The indorse.
ments of the secretary say that these
men are ''strong for us"-meaning they
were men who would do what the AS
ISOLATION wanted. The grand jury was
''packed". The Zeehandelaar letter to
Prosecuting Earl Rogers has been filed
in the court in which Caplan and Schmidt
are to be tried. This sort of thing is about
as anarchistic in it's way as the dyna-
hitting of the Times. Moreover, Cap
Ian and Schmidt are being forced to
trial in violation of stipulation made
when the Mcnamara brothers pleaded
guilty, that there should be no more pro-
secutions for this crime. The State OF
California treats the stipulation as a
mere "scrap of paper. But that is.to be
expected of prosecution that permitted
the organization devoted to the destruc-
ton of Labor Unions to select the mer
to make an inquest into the crime Of
which Labor Unionists were accused
If Clarence Darrow tried to fix the petit
jury to acquit the McNamaras, as was
urged against him, he had an excellent
example in the fact that the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association had fixed
the grand jury. Whatever the Labor
Unionists did in the way Of corruption
does not justify corruption by the State.
The State is disgraced when it pros
titutes it's own laws in behalf of a speci-
al Interest in trial in the courts. Cap
Ian and Schmidt should be set free
They should not be punished after being
lured into jurisdiction under flag Of
truce, and especially when it is proposed
to try them on an indictment voted BY
grand jurors selected because they were
certain to indict. Labor Union violence
is not to be condoned, but it is doubtful
if Labor Union violence is as great al
evil as the lawless Law that is being
brought to bear against Caplan ant
Schmidt. -Reedy's Mirror
