! conesses outside the state. This sum
does not include gifts of 1915 received
from the east since the first Of the
year.
The question put to the association
and the public generally was who
shall pay the price of the hospital in
your midst?" 1t was answered thus:
Shall the people of the east pay the
price? Business sagacity would lead
one TO conclude that in the beginning
of things. or when work is crowding
out the walls of a plant or in some
great emergency outside help may be
expected.
Shall the deaconess pay the cost?
Part of it, doubtless, but even here a
return upon her investment of life and
time will probably be expected, not in
money it is true but in the amount of
service she Is able to render.
Then who shall pay the price of the
hospital in your midst? What is the
price? Surely the section benefited
by an institution shall as far as posi-
BILE give that institution its support.
The price is loyalty to, cooperation
with. and aid for the institution and
these are based upon definite know
ledge of the work and it's problems.
A loyal, benevolently inclined con-
stituency for an institution is the
growth of the years and generally
comes through the effort of a few in
terested men and women who are
willing to spend and be spent for the
cause. Such a constituency is being
formed for the Dakota Methodist Dea-
coness Association in Brookings and
eastern South Dakota. C~haritably in,
clined men and ome are more and
more giving their support.
The superintendent turned pro-
phetess and said that with the same
rate of progress the association should
not only be meeting its expenses but
should lift all Indebtedness in the
next three years if not in less time.

to the newspaper office and he con
tinued to 20 there. Every issue Of the
paper carried a different message from
him to the community. At first, Mr..
Shortsight looked on in a self-satis6ed,
sans-worry manner, comforting him
self with the thought that IS soon as
Mr.. Competitor had spent all his
money on advertising, he would go
broke. But soon Mr.. Shortsight miss
ed some of the old patrons, and every
week the number of missed patrons
grew larger. Each week the advertise
ments of the competitor told the peo-
pie that he wanted their business and
appreciated 1t. 1t Is human nature to
like to favor those who appreciate the
favor, and Mr.. Shortsight had never
given any evidence of being particular
ly anxious for their trade or appre-
ciative of the same. Why should he
advertise? Everybody knew him.
Mr.. Shortsight is now a consistent
advertiser. So is his competitor. Most
OF the business in their line stays at
home.

The Argus-Leader's special Pierre
correspondent says that the State Col.
lege had received some unfavorable
criticism from the fact that T. c. Akin
of Brookings, has registered under the
lobby law as lobbyist for the inshtu-
ton. This was the first intirnzron
that either Brookings or the State
College had that Mr.. Akin was at
Pierre in the interests OF the instttu-
ton. He had no authority from either
the city or the college, In fact II would
be the height of indiscretion for an in
stitution to try and influence iegisla-
ton in this manner. and the general
local opinion Is that TEDDY has slop-
ped over again" Here at home the
matter would be regarded as a joke
were 1t not for the unfavorable critic
ism that Is bound to come to the col
lege from those who do o know
Teddy. AS a matter of fact IL Ia gen.
orally understood locally that Mr. Akin
who is special agent for the North
western Mutual. is at Pierre in the in
terests OF the insurance companies
who are seeking the repeal OF the law
which compels them to publish their
annual statements in the newspapers.
He assuredly has no commission to
represent the State College and 1t is
to be regretted that his in~discretion
has placed the institution in an un.
favorable light. He spoke truly who
said: 1--WE can guard against our
enemies. but God protect us from our
friends"

business. The town was small be.

Surprises were in order. Instead OF
tasting fiat, Prose- has a decidedly rich
nutty flavor. Its protein content is
1912 per cent, or 1.22 per cent higher
than wheat. Therefore its food value
Is very great.

Governor Hammond Signs Measure
for Ten-Round Bouts.
Governor Hammond has signed the
boxing bill authorizing ten-round box
ing bouts in St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth.
The law provides for state ath-

license boxing clubs and supervise
contests, of which there shall be no
more than twelve yearly in each city.
The governor named as two of the
three commissioners to regulate

AGAINST MAYO FOUNDATION
State Senate Goes on Record In Oppo.

State Senate Goes on Record In oppo
sltion 70 Plan.
The state senate has passed the
bill prohibiting the afiliation OF the
University of Minnesota's medical de
partment with the Mayo Foundation
by q vote of Sc to 81.
The measure now goes to the house
but 1t is obvious that there is not sui
ficient time remaining at this session
for 1t to be acted on in that body. 1t
also appears that a majority Of the
members of the house university com
mittee are opposed to it's considera
ton this late in the session and will
not even report it out.
Those opposed to the Mayo founda
ton, however, believe they have &C.
complished their purpose by getting
the bill through the senate. With the
prestige of majority vote in that
body behind them they are under the
impression, it is said, that the board
of regents will not dare to consum.
mate the foundation plan as already
formulated.

WHO WILL BE KING?

1t will be remembered that several
years ago Attorney Jos. A. Eckstein
was chosen "Boehmerkoenig" (king of
Bohemians) at mass meeting at New
Ulm. Since his death, the question of
his successor has arisen and much
speculation is being INDUCED in as to
who will be named. Jos. Wiesner, a
former resident of Cottonwood, now
residing at New Ulm, is being mentioned
for the honor and our townsman, George
Wurmstein, who was named by the late
king as his official representative at
Springfield, who was very close to the
throne at all times and whose advice
was often sought on matters of great
Importance to the kingdom, claims to
be the heir apparent and logical sue
cessor to the crown. 1t is understood
that among those whom he claims as
his influential supporters are Postmaster
VIM. Mueller, Commissioner Polkow
and Editor Hodges of Sleepy Eye, the
last named being campaign manager
on account of the effective political
work pulled off among the New Ulm
subjects last fall. 1t is limited, however,
that Mueller and Polkow are secretly
favoring a New Ulm candidate for
the honor who has promised to turn the
patronage of his end of the country
over to them in consideration of their
support. However, their votes may be
challenged on the ground that they
are not real Bohemians.
A mass meeting will soon be held
to make the selection. 1t would be
quite an honor to have the royal house
hold in Springfield and the 'House
of Hapsburg established here
Springfield Free Press.

AGED MAN BURNED TO DEATH.

The whole community of Belview
was greatly shocked Tuesday afternoon
at o'clock when it was learned that
Bent H. Hegdahl had burned to death
while attempting to put out fire in
a corn field across the road from his
residence. Mr.. Hegdahl was somewhat
feeble and it is thought he had exhausted
himself and fallen in the fire, though
this is a mere supposition as no one was
present.
The burned man was found by Ber-
get Lyslo and Glen Marcyes. His
clothing was nearly all burned from the
body and life was all but gone, so that
no assistance could be rendered. Cor
oner Brey was notified and after an in
Ivestigation Of the facts pronounced
death due to accidental burning.

ANOTHER COOPERATIVE SELL.
ING ASSOCIATION,

Representatives of so cooperative
creameries throughout Minnesota, at
meeting held in St. Paul last Tuesday
organized the Minnesota Local Creamery
and Cheese Factory Association. The
new association is selling organiza-
ton, and its purpose is to afford the
creameries holding memberships an op-
portunity to reduce the cost of market
ing their product.
+. D. Currier of Cranky, secretary
OF the Minnesota State Dairymen's
association, took prominent part in
the organization of the new association,
and at Tuesdays meeting he was chosen
for the important Office of secretary.
}. J. Farrell, state dairy and food com
missioner, is president and the othef
officers are: Arthur Mitchell, Rapidan;
vice president, and Emil H., Elk, Cokato,
treasurer.
Articles OF incorporation, which place
the capitol stock at $1,000, were drawn
up at the meeting, and will be filed with
the secretary of state very shortly.
Organizers of the association say that
Chicago, Baltimore, New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston are important
markets for Minnesota dairy products,
and it's first campaign will be directed
toward increasing sales in those cities
The association expects to be able to ship
between five and ten trainloads of butter
having an average value of $1,000
each, every week.
