Produces Lies Necessities.


One thing about Minnesota is that
she produces in perfection the chief
necessities of life, and they are al
ways in demand. Our wheat, oats,

products are of the best, as also are
our beef, pork, poultry, eggs, milk,
cream and butter and other products
all of the very first quality. Until
the world gets tired Of good whole
some victuals Minnesota products will
continue to be in. prime demand.
Down east, down south and way out
west they can and do produce some
things in perfection, but here we raise
great many in equal perfection. For
instance, we enjoy Delaware peaches,
but we Ike them better with our

STATES POLICY, AS NEAR AS POS
SIBLE, Is TO SELL TO
ACTUAL SETTLERS.
MANY OF LANDS NEAR MARKET
e9 Per Acre, The Minimum Ap-
praisement on Any Parcel Be-
ing SIS Per Acre.
BY J. A. o. Preus,
State Auditor.

The State of Minnesota still has
more than 100000 acres of land for
sale. Its policy is as nearly as pos
sible to sell lands to actual settlers.
The Legislature has determined that
monthly sales must be held in nine diff
ferent counties in Northern Minnesota
at the Court Houses. 800 acres can
be sold to any Individual and all lands
are sold at public auction. Fifteen
per cent cash must be paid down and
the balance may be paid any time
within forty years at four per cent
interest. The lands are largely cut.
over lands and some of them are
swamp lands. Many of these lands
are at reasonable proximity to mar
kets, schools and churches. Legal des-
criptions of the lands for sale may be
obtained from J. A. O. Preus, State
Auditor.
The lands this year have sold on an
average of between $500 and $500 per
arce. The minimum appraisement on
any parcel is $500 per acre. Mime
sofa has 100000 farmers and the av-
erage size of each farm is 100 acres
and it's average value about $4,000.
Minnesota has larger school fund than
any state in the Union. The proceeds
from all school lands and swamp lands

The trust funds are at the present
time as follows:

Permanent University Fund 1,627,6O
Internal Improvement Land

Swamp Land Fund. ........ 4,792,0OS.23
In addition to it's agricultural wealth,
Minnesota has three large cities, Min
neapolis has an approximate popula-
ton of 100000, St. Paul, 275,O00 and
Duluth 100000.
Minnesota is not only an agricultural
State. It produces more iron ore than
any other State in the Union and in
fact more than 60 per cent of the iron
ore of the entire nation each year, or
nearly one-fourth Of all the iron ore
in the world. The assessed valuation
Of Minnesota's mining properties so
far discovered is $1,46S,OOO,0O0 which
then is one-half of it's actual value.
Of this the State OF Minnesota owns
approximately ten per cent which is
leased to Mining companies at Is cents
per ton. The proceeds from these
mines go into the States Permanent

lions can be expended by the State

GETTING STARTED ON A FARM

five years, thousands of settlers have
moved onto these lands and are
transforming them into fertile fields

STATES CHIEF CONCERN FOR
FUTURE CITIZENS Is OPPoR-
TUNITY FOR LEARNING.
SCHOOLS WITHIN EASY REACH
Minnesota Requires Common Public
Institutions to be Maintained With !
In Access Of Every Child
Within School Age.
BY c. G. Schultz,

State Superintendent of Education.
Minnesota's chief concern for it's
future citizens is the fullest opportu-
nifty for education. No person in this
state, whether young or old, needs to
miss the chance Of receiving the ele-
ments of an education. The state re-
quires common public schools to be
maintained within access of every
child within school age. There are
in Minnesota $500 rural schools, ESQ
elementary graded schools, and 225
state high schools. The state main
tains five normal schools for training
teachers, the state university, the
colleges in education and in agricul-
ture, besides other professional
schools. There are special schools
for deaf and for blind and state
school for homeless children
Consolidation of Rural Schools.
The minimum school year is six
months. Most schools are in session
between seven and eight months.
High and graded schools have nine
months of school each year.
Every child in the state between
8 and 16 years of age is required to
attend public or private school regu-
larly
The state makes special grants to
the several classes of public schools,
in order to maintain high standards
in buildings and in teaching. Special
grants are made to high and graded
schools for teaching agriculture and
other industrial subjects. Consolida-
ton of rural schools is encouraged by
special annual grants of $500 to each
school, of $4,000 for paying the cost
of transportation, and $4,000 for the
erection of modern building in q
consolidated district.
Best Facilities for Education.
Beside the common public schools
and the states educational institu-
lions, there are six private colleges
maintaining a high rank of scholar
ship, equivalent to the standards in
the state university. Different reli.
gious denominations maintain private
academies and special schools. There
are schools of art, of music, and of
design.
The newer settled sections of the
state have kept pace with the older
communities in their provisions for
public schools. Northern Minnesota
vies with the southern section in pro-
gressiveness in all that pertains to
the best facilities for public educa.

the Union.

BY Walter J. Smith, State Treasurer.
The condition of the state finances
at the close Of the fiscal year July 81.
1915, showed that Minnesota was in
better condition than ever before in
its history. The last dollar has been
paid during the past year on the new
Capitol, and the state of Minnesota
does not owe any bonded debt. The
cash balance in the treasury at the
above named date was 332,OO6.34.
Our permanent trust funds of the
state are the greatest of any state
in the Union and nearly as much as
all the states put together, lying east
of the Mississippi river.
Trust Funds Are Increasing.
The state treasurer holds in trust
securities belonging to and to the
credit of, the following trust funds:
Permanent school fund. SIS, $3.50, 539

Complaint Is Made Against
Placing Separate Mana
ger in Charge and Ex-
presses Confidence.

Exception to the findings and the in
vestigators in the recent action Of Gov.
E. L. Phillip in closing the binder
twine plant at the Wisconsin state pri :
son is taken by the executive board of
the Wisconsin union of the American
Society of Equity.
The protest is made in the form of
an open letter to the governor and the
legislature and is signed by President
D. O. Mahoney, Viroqua; Vice-presi-
dent ]. H. Carnahan, Black River
Falls; w. M. Rowe, Sarona; J. O..
Parish. Plymouth and w. Wesley
Tubbs, secretary and treasurer, Madi-
son.
The statement doubts the figures
given out by the governors investiga-
tors, doubts the fairness of the inves-
tigators themselves, as it says they
were all enemies of the binder twine
plant; challenges the statement of poor
accounts, contending that the notes
given by farmers are backed by good
security; doubts the statements that
payment on the machinery was held up,
as none of the machinery, it is said,
had been installed, and also doubts the
business judgment of placing the pro-
duct of the binder twine plant on a
fuctuating market basis to compete
against the prices set by the twine
trust and their allies.
1--WE desire to take exceptions to and
to register a protest against the selec-
ton of enemies of the twine plant ex-
clusively as investigators, said the
statement.
Stating that in the fight in recent
sessions of the legislature the twine
plant was opposed by the very inter
ests and some of the men appointed
by the governor to make the invest
| igation, it says: 'Tt is inconceivable
that they would be more friendly to
the proposition now, after two years
of successful operation and compe-
tition that has held down the price OF
twine to a reasonable cost, than they
were before the plant was started.
Since the protest was made the
twine plant has been put into operation.

CLOWN FOUND
DEAD IN HOTEL
Circus Laugh. Maker Dies
Suddenly at Chicago;
Pipe is Near.

Philip Brinkerhoff, known to the
world of the sawdust ring as Cap"
Brinkerhoff, the clown, was found dead
on Sunday in the Inter Ocean hotel at
Chicago. The body was propped up on
pillow. On coverlet lay a corncob
pipe, which he evidently had been
smoking just before death overlook
him. On the lips were found burns.
No bottle or evidence of poison was
found in the room, and the coroner's
/ physician said save for the burns about
the mouth death appeared to have been
due to natural sources. He said the
burns might have been due to acid, but
| there were no marks in the mouth to
show that poison had been taken. An
autopsy will solve the mystery.
Runs Away to Join Circus
The story of the clowns life was OBJ
tanned from the wife from whom he
separated last February. Nine. Brink
erhotf is cashier in penny arcade at
5l4 South State street. She said her
husband had been in the show business
ever since he ran away from school to
join circus and that he became high
driver with reputation for daring.
Then He Becomes a Clown
His ambition to make people laugh
was realized later when he became a
clown with Ringing Brothers circus.
Friends said he seemed despondent
after his wife left him and he did not
join the circus this season.
Cap" Brinkerhoof was born in Red
Falls, Ia. He is survived by two
brothers, DR.. Cleaver H. Brinkerhoff
of 4O11 North Kostner avenue and Po-
liceman Mark G. Brinkerhoff of 2947

Family Will Leave Algona,
Iowa, For Cali
fOrnia.

The many warm Algona friends of
Rev. L. A. Goddard were surprised
and deeply grieved last week to learn
that he had resigned as pastor of the
Congregational church. His Eresigna-
tion was regretfully accepted by the
church Sunday morning, to take effect
June /.
Mr.. Goddard wrote that he had been
told by his physician at the Monrovia,
CAL, sanitarium where he has been
taking treatment for some weeks that
he could not safely return to Algons
and resume his pastoral duties in
three months as he had planned, but
must stay in California at least eight
months, and perhaps longer. In view
of.this fact, and the further fact thai
the church needed an active pastor tc
prepare for the evangelistic campaign
next fall he felt that he must resign.
It is understood that Rev. Goddard
has already rented cottage for his
family at Monrovia. Mrs. Goddard and
the children are planning to join him
in about.three weeks. .-Algona, Qowa)
