Minnesota has taken an advanced

100 high schools now receive liberal
state aid for the carrying ON of agri-
cultural education and industrial
training. In the rural sections Of the
state a general plan is now under

MINNESOTA is PROSPEROUS
This Is Shown in Number of Banks
and Aggregate Deposits.

This Is Shown in Number of Banks
and Aggregate Deposits.
During the last decade Minnesota
banking business has grown very
rapidly. This Is shown both in the
increase in the number Of banks and
/ in the rapid expansion of bank re-
sources. At the present time the ma
tional bank resources Of Minnesota
represent one-fortieth of all the ma
tional bank resources in the United
States. Similarly the deposits in Min
nesota national banks represent more
than one-thirty-fifth of the total depos-
it's in all the national banks of the
United States
This rapid growth has not taken
place at the expense of stability or
safety in Minnesota banking business.
Failures are practically unknown,
This condition of safety is to be ex-
planned partly in the nature of Mime
sofa banking business and partly in
the methods of supervision. All the
banks are examined at least twice
year. Published statements, that arg
authoritative regarding the resources
and liabilities of any bank, enable
the public to watch its development
and general condition from time to
time. H. 3

manent educational fund of over $22,-
900, 900, accumulated from the sale of
school lands and from the leasing Of
forested or iron ore lands which are
retained for the benefit Of future gen.

is constantly increasing, and it is es-
timated that within a very few years
it will be unnecessary to levy any
taxes for the maintenance Of the pub
lie schools Of the state.
The most prominent educational in
stitution in Minnesota is the state uni
versity, one of the largest institutions
of it's kind in the United States, and
ranking among the great universities
of the country. All of the usual uni
versity courses are offered at this
institution and afford an opportunity
for advanced education at minimum
expense. The state university is 10.

POOR KNIGHTS of the Garter.


The splendor that surrounds the Or.
der of the Garter makes it almost i'm
possible to believe there ever have been
poor knights of the order or that
these still exist today. Such. however.
is the case These now number eigh-
teen in all, and their official title is the
Military knights of Windsor. They
are divided into two foundations, .
twelve being in the upper founda-
ton" and the remainder in the 'low.
er" When Edward III. founded the
premier order of chivalry of the world
he appointed one poor gentleman to
act as sort of attendant or squire to
each knight. and twenty-six was the
original number These were known
as the "alms" or poor" knights of the
garter until the. title was changed to
the present one by William Iv.-Lon-
don Standard

sEAsoNABL & HINTS FOR THE
FLOWER GARDEN.
B. w. ANSPON,
Maryland Agricultural College.

At this season of the year one finds
many insects infesting the flower gar
den. The rose is frequently attacked
by the rose slug, small green worm
which chews holes in the leaves. To
control this pest spray the plants thor.
oughly with arsenate of lead at the
rate of one ounce to two gallons of
water.
Plant lice Of various kinds are fire.
These are sucking insects that infest
the young shoots Of many flowers. On
nasturtiums and chrysanthemums they
may be found ON the young shoots On
these plants the black forms are found
On sweet peas and roses we find the
green forms. A red form is generally
found on the golden glow. To con-
troll these insects spray the plants in
tested with a nicotine solution, Of
which there are many brands ON the
market. A very simple remedy that
has given good results is soap solu
ton. This can be made by dissolvMg
quarter pound of laundry soap in a
gallon Of water. This solution can be
used in connection with the nicotine ex
tract, acting as sticker for the latter.
Go over he flower borders and re-
move all faded flowers since these left
go to seed and will impair the towering
Of the plants. Where one wishes to
save the seed Of certain plants select
only the best flowers and allow them
to go to seed. In cutting the blown
flowers on roses cut the shoot back
to within two to three buds or eyes
from the main stalk.
Plants that have made a strong
growth and need support should be
staked. Sow seed Of pansy now
Many of the quick terminating hardy
perennials may be sown now. Among
this class are larkspurs, calumbines,
hollyhocks, sweet williams, foxglove
etc. These will make good growth
by fall so that they can be transplanted
into the cold frame. The following
year they will be ready to bloom.
Select a sheltered spot in the flower
garden and thoroughly prepare 1t for
the seed bed Sow the seed in drills
and when large enough transplant to
the cold frame.
Write to the seedsmen now for their
fall bulb catalogues. Select your bulbs
and place order early for bulbs for fall
planting.

LITTLE ANDORRA.
The Tiny Republic That Nestles In a
Nook IN the Pyrenees.

Inc llny HepuDic NAT NeStieS IN a
Nook In the Pyrenees.
Andorra is a republic of 175 square
miles situated in the valley of the
same name In the Eastern Pyrenees.
1t forms an irregular little square plug
between France and Spain and is a
hotbed for smugglers plying between
the two countries. it leads semi-in-
dependent existence under the protec-
ton of France and the Bishop of Urgel,
Spain. Charlemagne declared it indie
pendent in return for its services
against the Moors.
In 1878 1t was transferred to the
Comte de Folk and the Bishopric of
Urgel During the French revolution
relations between it and France were
interrupted. on account of the refusal
of France to accept the annual tribute,
which was considered Incompatible
with Republican form OF government
In 1906, however, the former relations
were renewed, and free importation of
cereals, made necessary by the limited
area of Andorra was allowed by
France in return for an annual tribute
of 960 francs.
Andorfa is governed by a council Of
twenty-four members chosen Tor four
years by the heads of the communities.
The revenue is derived from lands and
a few taxes. The manner of life is
very simple. Every ablebodied male is
liable to military service bNtween the
ages of sixteen and sixty. The capital
is ARdorra. with about LOCO inhabi-
tants.A The total population is about
5000 and remains practically station
airy.
