Redwood Falls Should
Take Her Own Census

Several of the larger towns
in Minnesota are taking their
own census, feeling that because
the 1915 Legislature eliminated
the census-taking from among
the state functions is no reason
towns should have no accurate
knowledge of their populations.
Redwood Falls inhabitants
have not been counted since
1910 and she is credited with
1,666 citizens, women and chill
dren. Without question this
lacks several hundred Of being
the correct number as the city
has grown steadily during the
last few years. There is a feel
ing among the business men
that steps should be taken to as
certain the present population
exactly and as soon as possible.
Waseca is handling this work
Of demonstrating very easily and
inexpensively through the Com
mercial Club. Committees of the
club members are appointed,
each to canvas one small sec
ton Of the town and to get the
desired information. In this
way the time and labor expend-
ed by each is comparatively
trivial and the result readily OBJ
tanned.

IDEAL WOMEN OF The PAST
Live in History as the Inspiration Of
Men Who Led the World In
Art and Learning.

"All inspiration comes from woman"
In these words Castiglione sums up
medieval ideas and theories on the
subject. Hers it is to inspire man with
hope and courage on the battlefield
and in the council chamber, in the pur-
suit of art and learning, in the higher
paths of virtue and religion, to point
the way upward and lift hearts from
earth to heaven.
So it was that the boy Raphael grew
up in the enchanted air of Urbino I'M
der the fostering care of the good
duchess; so Isabella d'Este heard
young Ariosto recite the first cantos
Of his great poem, or gave Mantegna
and Costa themes for their pictures
in the studio of the grim old CASTILLO
that looks down on the Mantuan lakes
and the windings Of "smooth-sliding
Mincius."
So Veronica Gambara smiled or the
early efforts Of the painter Correg-
gio, and Vittoria Colonna soothed the
loneliness of Michelangelo's weary
old age.
By their delicate culture and refined
taste these noble women brought art
into close touch with life.
By their gracious and kindly sym
patty they cheered the artist souls
that were struggling toward the light,
and helped to produce immortal works
Will posterity say as much for the
women Of our own age?-Exchange.

Seeks Big Navy.

0SSNo 6iS TNuNys
Maj. ]. J. Dickson, who served in
Cuba in a Missouri regiment during
the Spanish-American war, called on
United States Senator Stone and
talked with him about the necessity
of the United States providing a
greater navy.
Senator Stone said in part:
"You are correct in saying that
throughout my public service l have
been a consistent and earnest advo-
cate of both a great merchant marine
and a strong naval establishment.
While l would not run a race with
war-mad nations in ship building, l
would keep nea enough abreast Of
world movements in this direction to
provide a naval force of our own fully
adequate to protect our national in
terests against lawless aggregations.
I despise war and love peace; but, in
my opinion, we have not reached that
point in altruistic civilization when a
nation unprotected or without ade-
quate safeguards can go to sleep with
out fear of apprehension.
National safety demands a suffi-
cient preparation to protect all times
our national rights and honor"

Turner's Make Good Soldiers.

More than $4,000 German turner's
have been decorated with the Iron
Cross since the world war was de-
clared," writes DR.. Hugo Ruehl, sec
rotary of the Deutsche Turnerschaft,
in a letter to George Brosius, veteran
Milwaukee turnmaster.
In commenting upon the ability OF
turner's as soldiers, Professor Brosius
says:
1.-THE exceptional training that turn
ers are given in Germany makes them
most efficient as soldiers. There are
more than 100000 serving the kaiser
In their gymnastic training, long
marches have always played an i'm

MccIung and Buffum Fall Out.

"SSldtA All DOIIdIH oil SuIs -
A row has developed between War
den D. G. McClung of the State Pen
itentiary and State Highway Com
missioner Buffum, both appointees Of
Gov Major, and relations between
them virtually have been severed.
A few days ago Buffum went to the
~penitentiary on business and was rep
rimanded by Warden McClung for
speaking to three convicts in the pris-
on yards. McClung told Buffum to go
to the deputy %warden's office and talk
to the convicts if he had anything to
say to them.
Buffum admitted that he was re-
buked by McClung and that he i'm
mediately left the prison.
The differences between McClung
and Buffum are said to have arisen
yer the question of employing con
victs upon the public roads.
Buffum was the moving spirit in
the Usage county venture with convict
labor, and he is stirring up sentiment
for convict road work in other Sec
tons of the state, he says.
McClung is said to be opposed to
the S Of ~convicts On the public
roads.
Buffum says before a year elapses
that every man that can be worked
upon the roads will be there. He
says he will see to it that they are.
The board of prison inspectors is
invested with the power of authoriz-
ing convicts to be worked on the pub
lie roads.

Az for spaee a state FaIr.

The Gardner land bank state COM
mittee, through Col Fred d. Gardner,
the author of the measure, which ere
ates the Missouri state land bank on
and after December 1, 1916, has re-
quested E. T. Major. secretary OF the
Missouri state fair, to allot during
the annual exhibition in October,
1915 and 1916, in a conspicuous and
much frequented place. enough space
to this organization on which to erect
a tent to be used for the extensive
educational campaign which will IA
miliarize the the people Of the state
with this proposition.
Space large enough to hold a tent
which will accommodate 600 people,
needed aisles and enough room in the
front for a platform to take care of
all the speakers, guests of honor, a
piano, musicians and a moving pic
ture screen. The educational cam
paign of this proposition will extend
from one end of the state to the
other, and will open in September Of
this year.
1t is estimated that In Missouri
considering all political parties and
others eligible to vote, there are ap
proximately 100000 electors, the ma
jority of whom must be reached ant
familiarized with this proposed new
amendment to the constitution. Thai
it will carry there is no doubt for tht
measure is non-partisan and has the
endorsement of all parties, as it will
benefit all citizens of the state alike
The original outlay in money fol
the establishment of this institution
will be entirely nominal, and what il
appropriated will eventually be re
turned to the state.
The fact that Missouri is the frs
state in the union to take any sucl
step for the relief of the great mas
of farmers who have always been a
the mercy of the monied interests
will do more to give the common
wealth favorable publicity than any
thing that has ever been done by an,
of our widely advertised philanthrop
lists. The movement has been her
aided near and far for the past ST
months, and the letters at hand shoy
the widespread interest that Is fel
in this first effort to assist the bon
and sinew of the nation.

JEFFERSON city.
The bureau of labor statistics,
through Commissioner John T. Fitz-
patrick, makes the announcement that
Missouri still holds first rank for an
nual production of barytes. a valuable
metallic substance used as a paint pig
ment, and in the manufacture of white
rubber goods, asbestos cement, artifi-
cial ivory, boiler compounds, peroxide
of hydrogen, insecticides, fertilizers,
and other commercial articles. Fig
ures Just completed show that the
1914 production of the crude variety
was 33,317 tons, valued at $112,231,
this quantity being 64.63 per cent Of
the total production of the United
States, the remainder, S5.37 per cent,
or 5000 tons coming from Alabama,
California, Georgia, Kentucky, North
Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina
and Virginia.
Two re~fineries, one at Mineral
Point, Washington County, and the
other in st. Louis, converted the 1914
barytes into commercial product
worth $450,000, the process of refining
%quadrupling it's market worth.
In 1914, fifteen barytes mines were
operated in Missouri, they being To-
Gated in Washington, st. Francois,
Jefferson, Moniteau, Cole, Miller,
Franklin and Morgan counties.
Wage n were paid from $1,000
to $18 a week, the toilers consisting of
sack busters, sludge men, packers,
screen men, boilers, ore men, mill
men, truckers, dryers coal passers,
bleach men and firemen. Salaried en-
ployes such as managers, superintend-
ents, foremen, clerks, stenographers
and bo~okkeepers, drew from $50 to
$3.50 a month each. No serious acct
dents were reported during 1914 by
the refineries.
