Minnesota Exhibit Draus
Hundreds at Dairy Congress

Exhibition at our Dairy Cattle
Congress. Perhaps never before
has such a complete agricultural
exhibit been shown at the Con-
gress, as is that of Minnesota.
This remarkable exhibit is To-
Gated in the Main Building near
the Main Entrance and is in
charge Of Fred D. Sherman,
State immigration Commission
er for Minnesota and Col w. G..
King, Exhibit Expert.
"We are down here with an
Exhibit of Minnesota Farm
products, showing the people of
Iowa and all visitors at the Con-
gress what we can grow in Min
nesota," said Commissioner F.
Sherman this morning. "Up in
Minnesota we have approximate
ly 100000 acres of good land
that has never been touched.
These lands can be purchased
from eight to twenty-five dollars
per acre; fine improved farms
can be bought in Southern Min
nesota from Eighty to One Hun
dred and Fifty Dollars per acre
and improved farms in Central
Minnesota from Fifty to Hun
dred Dollars per acre. Down
here in Iowa your lands are SELL
ing for twice as much as ours
and this makes it almost impos-
sible for a man of moderate
means to get a start here, but up
in Minnesota things are very diff
ferent; for a man with very
little money can get a start up
there. A person with $1,0O0.00
can buy a piece of good farm
land in the Northern part of the
state and with 100000 or $5,-

eve do not expect your Iowa
Farmers to sell their farms in
this state and move to Minneso-
ia, but we do realize that there
are hundreds, yes thousands, of
men renting high priced lands in
this State who would be glad to
get a piece of land of their own.
They have not sufficient capital
to buy your high priced lands in
Iowa, but they can secure a piece
of land in Minnesota" Water

DEALING WITH BURGLARS

The alarming frequency of
burglaries and holdups and 9th
er crimes committed in rural To-
calities by habitual criminals is
becoming such as to present a
serious problem of how to be
dealt with. These crimes are
almost without exception conn
mitted by gangs who quickly
make their getaway and are be-
yond the easy reach of the local
authorities. Much time is lost
in getting to work on the crime
and in most instances the local
officers are to a large extent,
not familiar with the work of
tracing criminals, as a result,
arrests and convictions are far
and few between.
The State of Pennsylvania was
greatly troubled a short time
back by the work of criminals,
more or less organized and met
with the same difficulty in cop
ing with them. Dealing with
habitual criminals is beyond the
sphere of the authorities. Penn
sylvania established what is
known as a State Constabulary,
a state police system made up
Of men trained for the work and
whose services could be had on
a minutes notice.
This state police system in no
wise conflicts with the local Off
GERS nor does it supersede them.
It's function is to work parallel
with them, but to cover a field
that experience had taught the
people of Pennsylvania that the
local officers were unable to sue
cessfully cover. The period clap
sing since the establishment of
their state constabulary had
been marked by an amazing in
crease in apprehensions and con-
victions and at the same time
the corresponding decrease in
the number of crimes commit
ted in rural communities.
That this state must soon es-
| tablish some similar system is
the growing opinion Of many
thoughtful men. B. L. News.

DIR. FRANK CRANE GIVES
ADVICE TO ADVERTISERS

Advertising is simply making
your business known. AS such
it is perfectly consistent with
anybody's dignity or modesty.
1t is not necessarily boasting
nor self-pushing. In fact, a
Dragging advertisement defeats
its purpose; it repels and does
not attract.
There are several points that
it might be we'll for all adver-
tisers to keep in mind. These
are not expert items, but are
simply common sense applied to
publicity.
/. All advertising should be
clear. It ought to state just what
your business is and where it is,
giving your precise address.
Don't assume that every one
knows where the "Jones Dry
Goods Store" is, nor how to get
there. Tell them. You cannot
make things too plain.
2. Advertising should be
reckoned as a part of your busi-
ness. 1t is as necessary as the
sign over your door. It is not
an occasional nor an outside mat
ter; it is essential. How can the
public do business with you un-
less they know about you?
3. 1t should be regular and
constant. People trade with the
firm whose name is familiar to
them. The newspaper ought to
be your partner. If you are in
business permanently, let your
advertising be permanent.
4. The newspaper, going daily
into the hands of the people, is
the best medium for advertis-
ing. It's where the public nat
urally turn when they want to
see where to buy, whether bonds
or beans.
5. Advertising should be at
tractive. The most attractive
thing you can put in it is some
thing that appeals to the self
interest of the reader. Funny
or startling matter, that has
nothing to do with your bust
ness, is not good advertising. No
man can be funny every day. By
and by your antics become tire
some. If you can show woman
where she can save 10 cents, OF
where she can buy stuffs that
last longer and wear better, ii
is much more to your advantage
that to crack jokes, or to begin
your advertisement with a pic
ture of the Kaiser and wind uI
with announcing your superior
socks. What you want is to tel
folks that they can get the most
for their money at your place
that is the most attractive fact
you can publish.

Does Anton Weiss
Want SenatOrShip?
"a "Weiss" Man Who KnOWeth
His JOb," Says Frank
Day

Hon. Anton C. Weiss, of the
Duluth Herald, ''Minnesota's
best daily newspaper" is enjoy
ing boom for United States
senator which has assumed cy-
clonic proportions. It was started
in a modest way by the Bel
grade Tribune but has been
gathering force, like the proven
bal SNOWFALL, until it threatens
to sweep the modest editor out
of his sanctum.
All the good things that have
been said about our disting-
uished contemporary are true.
The man who makes the Duluth
Herald would make a United
States senator worthy in every
way of the name and position.
But through most intimate and
infdential relations with the
gentleman, extending over many
years, we refuse to believe that
he would exchange his present
position for any Office, elective
or appointive, that is listed in
the official blue book.
It is not generally known but
it is fact that President Will
son rendered Mr.. Weiss a posi-
ton of great honor and respon-
sibility and that it was prompt
|! ly declined.
Our best Judgment is that
Mr.. Weiss is desperately in love
with his newspaper-it is his
own darling child and nothing
in the line of politics can di-
vorce him from it so long as
he lives upon this earth.
Incidentally we may here re-
mark that the editor of the Her
aid should head the Minnesota
delegation to the next demo-
cratic national convention and
we assume that he will be ac-
corded that courtesy by COM
mon consent. His acquaintance
with the party leaders in state
and nation and his knowledge of
the country's affairs combine to
make his services almost indis-
pensible in that position. And
| if it should eventuate that we
are mistaken and Mr.. Weiss has
aspirations in the direction of
Washington, then we will, as the
lawyers say, amend our answer
and join the stampede for the
band wagon.-Fairmont Senti-
mel.

STATE AID FOR ROADS.

Nearly every one of the state leg isIatures is considering this winter, demands for more help for road building. Ten years ago all the states together put up but $2.ooO,ooo, for road building, exclusive of local funds In 1914 they spent $43, ,OOO, z O0O- But as four-fifths of this was done by six eastern states and two Pa cific coast states, the, problem. is, for from solved nationally.
 Many of our big problems always came back to the cost of living uues- tions. Food has gone up in price. and one reason why is that it costs so much to haul it oyer bad roads to market
 Early efforts in the better roads problem were along the line of trunk line highways. Costly stone roads we're laid out across the states to con- meet the great centers of SpopuIa ton. These are joyous for the automobile trippers. But they furnish but lit- tie help to the man who wants to haul his potatoes or his corn to the railroad station Also it takes so long to secure the appropriations to build them. that the lengths first laid out may be worn out blythe time the whole system is completed.
 What is wanted to-day, for. the eco. homie salvation of the American peo- pie, is not boulevards for pleasure. riding, but fairly good roads leading around through the back country so that farmers can haul loads to mar ket, without having to cut them down one half Because of mud, sand and dust
 The state of Missouri has recently agreed to spend dollar for dollar with any amounts that may tbe put up by counties or by popular subscription. It is good proposition for every other state.
 The city tax payer should assent generously to such law in every, state. Every improved back country road means that one man. in getting produce to market, can do the work of two, and one horse the work of a pair. If there is any more practi- cal method of reducing living costs, it has yet to be shown

CHAMBERLAIN'S
 OPINION ON THE
 NEW TAXING BILL
Says Much Depends Upon the Tax-Levying Body Favors Wider Dis
 tinction


 The bill now pending in the gen eral assembly providing for the redis- tricting of the city tax districts has provoked considerable comment among North End residents. Attor- ney John c. Chanb erlain, who has large property interests in the SUI burbs, was asked to-day, to give his opinion on the bill.
 The bin may prove all right if the persons who levy the taxes are fair and charge the first district only what belongs to it. In that event the bi1Is will probably protect the rights of the district. It looks to me, though, to. be simply a resurrection of the old bill, which was thrown out by the supreme court,
 +sThe old measure was very cum ter White at the time he was revis- ing the city's charter. think a wis., CT plan would be to divide city into two tax districts and make 9 wider. distinction between them. Then it could be stated in specific terms just what each district could be taxed for. There could be no mistakes then, like. taxing people in the outlying sections for police and fire protection"
 By following this plan the city could avoid much unnecessary labor and confusion. The same end would be reached by putting the farm prop erty in one district and giving it the proportionate share of the tax bur- den as will be gained in the bill now pending But as [ said in the begin ming, this bill may prove satisfactory of details are properly attended to.
