20, 100000 ACRES OF LAND
ARE FOR SALE
State Wishes to Sell to Actual
Settlers if Possible
By J. A. O. Preus,
State Auditor

The State of Minnesota still
has more than 100000 acres
Of land for sale. It's policy is as
nearly as possible to sell lands
to actual settlers. The Legis-
lature has determined that
monthly sales must be held in
nine different counties in North
eyn Minnesota at the Court
Houses. 800 acres can be sold
to any individual and all lands
are sold at public auction. FIT
teen per cent cash must be raid
down and the balance may be
paid any time within forty years
at four per cent interest. The
lands are largely cut-over lands
md some Of them are swamp
3ancs. Many of these lands ave
at a reasonable proximity to
markets, schools and churches.
Legal descriptions of the lands
for sale may be obtained from
J. A. @. Preus, State Auditor.
The lands this year have sold
on an average of between $500
and $500 per acre. The mini
mum appraisement on any par
Gel is $500 per acre. Minnesota
has 10000 farmers and the
average size of each farm Is l6O
acres and it's average value about
$4,000. Minnesota has a larg-
err school fund than any state in

FROM NEW YORK CITY.

The following is an extract from a
letter lately received by relatives of a
former Wausau lady, who is now a
resident of California and who at
present is visiting relatives in New
York City:
1.-THE past few days have been red
letter ones for me. We spent most
of last weeks evenings on the banks
of the Hudson, viewing the Atlantic
Fleet. With the war excitement,
the fleet in the harbOr and the presi-
dents visit, we have been fully en-
tertained. We were fortunate enough
to get seat on the upper deck of a
Fifth avenue bus where we saw
everything; and Saturday evening,
after the great search-lights had been
turned off the war-shipS, the city,
displayed thousand of dollars worth
of most gorgeous fireworks and cleo
trio displays. The magnificent array
of Illuminated boats drawn upon the
II uNlSOHs OCOWCCh OlIO OOIO1Oio dIICl
sailors monument and Gen. Grants
tomb made most impressive scene.
The Pacific fleet in San Francisco
Bay, which | witnessed some years
ago was a wonderful sight, but the
Turbulent times of today, and the
presence of the President made this
event much more impressive. By
the-way, what do you think of our
President during the terrible crisis
through which our country is passing.
He is certainly great. All l can say
is, am glad that | live in suffrage
state and can next year, cast my vote
for Woodrow Wilson. l believe there
will be almost d unanimous vote cast
for him. New York papers have pub
licly apologized for their attitude
toward him during his watchful wait
ing policy and all who criticized him
are now heart and soul for him.
He received a great ovation here and
deserves it ALL"
Owing to the fact that the lady
correspondent is staunch republican,
we feel that her sentiments in regard
to the President come from strictly
unbiased mind and not from any
partiZanShip.

POPULAR MECHANICS
Paint Not ImpermeabIe.

A study of paint films has shown
that some are much better eXcluders
or water shedders than others. 1t has
been shown that linseed oil films are
markedly porous, with the result that
water soon penetrates to the surface
below and, if it is of iron, sets up cor
rosion. Most dried paint films are
porous, although this porosity may be
leSsened or prevented by the use OF
varnish, thus producing a film which
is a good eXcluder. By the use or nne-
ly ground pigments the size and num-
Der of pores in a film may be very
materially reduced, but even then the
film is not necessarily a water she'd
der. Certain pigments seem to convey
a peculiar property TO film in that It
becomes wet with difficulty or not at
all. Water rapidly eyaporates or runs
off from it and apparently none is re-
tanned upon the surface or in the
pores.-Engineering Magazine.

FORCING Oil Into a BEARING.

Sometimes when a bearing becomes
heated and requires oil it will be found
that the oil will not flow down in the
oil hole. Either the hole is clogged
with dirt or the heat may cause the air
TO rise and prevent the oil from enter
ing. Where a wire cannot be used er-
fectively, the following remedy, al
thought ii is not infallible. is almost
sure to make the oil reach the bearing:
Fill the hole with oil and quickly place
the thumb over it TO prevent the air
from escaping, and if the oil cup does
not leak. the heated air inside Will rise
above the oil, and in two or three min
utes 1t will be forced into the bearing,
even if it has to pass considerable dirt
When a bearing cannot be reached in
this way, and when light oils, such as
kerosene, are ineffective, try placing a
little mercury in the hole and allow
il TO remain a few minutes, then use
oil-Popular Mechanics.

Game of Bird Sellers.

The players stand in a row, and two
are left outside. These are the bird
buyers. Each child is given the name
of some bird. One is a blackbird, one
a thrush, one robin, one a humming
bird, ETC., until every child has been
named.
Then one bird dealer says to the
other:
Il want to buy a bird"
what kind of bird?' asks the 9TH
er dealer.
"a bird that's strong on the wing"
replies the first dealer.
You can make your own selection"
says the second dealer
VERY WELL" says the first dealer.
"I'll take q crow"
or course, as soon as he says "crow"
the child who bears that name must
leave the row and run about and try
to dodge back and forth before the
dealer can catch him.
If the dealer succeeds in tagging
and making the bird prisoner the bird
is tout" until all the other birds have
been selected and caught.

Work Up or Scrub Ball.

In this game of baseball in its most
complete form all Of the positions are
filled and there are three or more bat
tiers. When a batter is put out by any
of the prescribed baseball plays he
goes to the left field, the catcher be-
comes a batter and the whole field Of
players moves up one notch in posi-
lions. The order of succession is from
left field to center, to right, to third
base, to second, to first, to shOrtstOp,
to pitcher, to catcher, to batter. This
is a particularly valuable game for

The EairNIs Watch.

One night when I lay very still
And could not get to sleep
felt that on my window sill
a fairy watch did keep.
For shadows that used to fear
Upon the dim lit wall,
Seemed not to creep that night so near
or waver in the hall.
The neighboring frogs croaked soft and
low,
And cen the whippoorwiu
BY his faint whistIing seemed to show
Who stood upon my sill
The insects In the evening dew,
The cricket's voice less shrin
Showed well each tiny creature knew
A fairy watched my sill.

Vanishing Spoons.

Vanishing spoons are a source OF
amusement and are made from this al
10y: Bismuth, eight ounces; lead, five
ounces; tin, three ounces. As soon as
boiling tea is poured into the cup in
which they are placed the spoons dis
appear from view. The drawback
about this experiment is that the
spoons do not reappear. OF course the
tea must not be drunk.
