HE WILL BE ELECTED.

Frank B. Kellogg may or may not
be elected to the United States senate.
But whether he is or not, he is doing
a real service to this state in the
character Of his campaign. 1t is such
as BELTS the dignity Of the Office he
seeks. It is inspiring and educative.
Duluth News-Tribune.
To assume that Mr.. Kellogg will
not be chosen is to reflect on the in
telligence and patriotism Of the vot-
ers Of Minnesota. Mr.. Kellogg's talks
are inspiring and educative and ap-
peal to the thinking people Of the state
to the men on the farms and in the
shops as we'll as to the business and
professional men. He takes decided
stand on all the questions that effect
the public welfare, breaches the doc
trine Of straight out Americanism,
does not appeal to racial prejudices,
and we firmly believe he will have the
earnest and whole-hearted support of
a great majority Of the rational,
right thinking people of the state and
that he will be triumphantly nomi-
mated and elected.

City That Jack Built.

In the zinc mining districts the zinc
ore as it comes from the mines is
known as Jack" There are several
varieties of lack" each with it's own
special name and miners can identify
each of them at sight. Joplin, the
business and financial center Of the
southwest Missouri lead and zinc dis
trict, is now going to give lack" due
credit for the prosperity of the town
and the district. A contract has been
let for an electric sign, 40 feet long
and 20 feet high, to be erected at the
union station of the city. On the side
OF the sign facing the station there
will appear in gigantic letters the
legend: "The City of Joplin That Jack
Built" On the other side will be the
names Of several railroads entering
the city. The sign will cost. 5000 and
will be in red, green and white lights,
the colors of railroad signals.-Wall

COULD YOU STAND THE TEST2
War Correspondent Makes Comparison
Of American Citizens With the
Soldiers of Europe.

Gentle reader, queries Robert R. Nc.
Cormick in the Century, if you are a
young man of military age, do you feel
that you could stand in your place in
a squad trench and do your duty as
muzhiks and other peasants of mon
archical Europe have frequently done?
My own opinion of you is that you
could not, and my opinion has the
strength of conviction, l do not care
whether you are a clerk or a college
professor, a lawyer or a laborer.
Suppose you were advancing in open
order of attack, and had reached a
point where, with your captain killed,
your platoon commander wounded,
your line, unable to go forward, was
lying in the open, and your only chance
for life was to find the range of the
enemy and shoot at him so correctly
that he in turn could no longer shoot
correctly at you. Would you listen to
the orders of your corporal? Would
you take the range he gave you, care
fully adjust your sight, and fire every
shot as carefully as if you we're trying
to ring cane at Coney Island or
make new step in dance? No, you
could not do it, and failing to do it,
you would be killed by some peasant
of the type that you see working on
the railroad track or mixing concrete
for the foundation Of the road on
which you run your automobile. He
Is better soldier than you are.

KELLOGG STEADILY GAINING.

KELLOGG STEADILY GAINING.
In every town in which he has Spoken
in southern Minnesota Frank B Kel
logg has been greeted by large anc
enthusiastic crowds. From private
sources we learn that his trip through
the southern counties was one contin
ual ovation.
From the Seventh and Ninth con
gressional districts the most cheer
reports are being received at Mr.. Kel
logg's headquarters in St. Paul, and il
| is confidently predicted by his friends
that he will carry both those districts
| by handsome majorities.
In Ramsey county Mr.. Kellogg's
majority is estimated at from seven tx
ten thousand.
Notwithstanding the opposition Of
certain interests in Duluth and St
Louis county there is every reason tc
believe that Mr.. Kellogg will carry
the Eighth district.
The two Hennepin county districts
is where Mr.. Kellogg's friends expect
trouble. Ed Smith is all powerful in
Hennepin county and the old Eberhart
machine is still in working order there
But Mr.. Kellogg has thousands OF
staunch supporters in Hennepin
county.
1t is confidently expected that Mr.
Kellogg will easily carry seven of
the ten congressional districts, and
he has good fighting chance in two
of the others.
The Union wishes to go on record
as predicting Mr.. Kellogg's nomina-
ton and election, and in both in
stances by naajorities that will pre-
clude the possibility of contest.

Referring to the location of the

If this is done Mile Laos county will
need to do a great deal Of good road
work between Princeton and Mile

case plainly: ''All four Of the candi-
dates for United States senator from

men, as you know, are Moses E. Clapp,
c. A. Lindbergh, A. O. Eberhart and
Frank B. Kellogg. If you had an i'm
portant case in court, and all four of
these gentlemen were available to
represent you, which one would YOU
retain? Your choice, no doubt, after
complete investigation, would be
Frank B. Kellogg, because he stands
head and shoulders above the others
in legal ability. Then, if you would
select him to represent you in court
why not vote for him to represent YOU

HAVE DISPLACED OLD MAIDS
'eacheIor Girl" Is Better AppeIIation
Now Given to the Woman Who
Remains Single.

Among the most delightful modern
products are our bachelor girls.
1t has been said that a good wife
is the by-product of love, and it may
be said with equal truth that a bach
elor girl is the result of new business
conditions.
One thing, however, is certain: The
bachelor girl has crowded out our old
maids. Rarely, indeed, will you come
across real genuine specimen of the
blighted love series surrounded with
her feline pets, an authority on heart
symptoms and a blender of bird seed.
There may be few of those dear
old maids still to be found in the re-
mote country districts, but in our
towns and cities they are extinct as
the dodo.
Perhaps it would be more correct
to say that they have "evolved' into
bachelor girls. In the good old days
any girl who didn't marry before she
was thirty was dubbed IAN old maid
She was frequently a lonely soul and
took to reading faded letters and
dabbling with smelling salts.
Nowadays girl who doesn't marry
is called bachelor girl" She has a
good job and holds it down; has a
checkbook, good clothes, lives in a
pretty fat or shares apartments with
other pretty girls, and is looked up to
and envied by her married friends.
She attends strictly to business and
her relatives are very polite to her
because she is such "a clever crea'
ture," and incidentally because she
buys shoes for their children and pays
for Angelina's piano lessons.
The old maid lived in the past; the
bachelor girl lives in the present and
has her weather eye on things to
come.-Bufalo: News. ~, 3

At the 1913 session of the legisla-
ture the writer fathered the bill that
extended the terms Of county officers
to four years. We never had the least
doubt of the constitutionality of the
measure. In decision handed down
last Friday the supreme court has
affirmed the constitutionality of the
law. The only county officer whose
term is now limited to two years is
the judge Of probate. The term OF
that officer is fixed by the constitu-
ton. If the amendment to the con-
stitution-No. 8 on the ballots
adopted next November, and it ought
to be, the judge Of probate will also
hold for four years.

In which he writes his name: The co."

not be capitalized except when the

SWORD FLIES INTO AUDIENCE
Weapon Slips From Actors Hand in
New York Theater-Pins Wom- =
ans Dress to Seat.

Lou Tellegen's trusty sword always
has terrorized his rivals in "A King
of Nowhere" at the Thirty-ninth'
street Theater, but recently it fright
ened the spectators into gasps of
obs" and abs" and brought the per-
Torrance of the romantic comedy to
a full stop.
In the dungeon scene of the second
act, when the auditorium was in dark
ness, the actor tore the weapon from
an opponent. It slipped unexpectedly
from his hand and flashed over the
footlights, with the momentum of a
rock and fell with clatter among the
spectators. It's unexpected mark was
the silk frock of a woman in a thea
ter party in the sixth row. The &C.
cldent happened so quickly that she
wasn't frightened until it was all over.
Then she appeared so dazed that she
couldn't utter sound.
Mr.. Tellegen stepped out of the
scene and came down in the foot
lights. A man in the party in the
sixth row picked up the sword dis
trustfully and carried it forward to the
star.
Anyone hurt?' asked the star ex-
citedly.
no. replied the impromptu cour-
Ter with the sword; no casualties,
but many frightened" Mr. Te1legen
was greatly relieved and after express
Ing his thanks for the return of the
weapon, the scene was resumed.
But at least one theatergoer will
not attend another sword play this
season.

MUSHROOM GARDEN IN MINE
Proved Exceedingly Profitable to Man,
Who First Thought Of the
Possibilities. II ~ ~&5:s9

The queerer the place selected for
q mushroom garden, the finer, 1T
seems, is the growth of this popular
table delicacy. Damp, smelly places
under tumble-down back porches,i
earth cellars, discarded messy els
terms and other dark, humid spots
have been found IDEAL The fungus
apparently thrives upon an atmos-
phere Of decadence and decay.
The last word in the mushroom
farm, however, is such a garden
placed in the depths of a deserted
coal mine, hundreds of feet below the
ground, the Illustrated World states
Not far from Morgantown, w. Va,
there is located this old coal mine,
known as the Pittsburgh Coal Seam
In Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The mine was worked for number
of years, but it's fuel production was
used for domestic purposes only, be-
ing dug and hauled by wagon to con-
sumers in the neighborhood. With the
Introduction of natural gas, however,
the locality had no further use for the
old mine and some exceedingly inter-
esting experiments have been conduct
ed in it's depths by Theodore F. I'M
bach, an assistant in the state agricul-
tural experiment station at Morgan
town.
Securing a permit from the owners
of the property he encamped on the
first level and made chemical analysis
of the rocky SOIL He found that it
was rich in moisture and it's constitu-
ents exactly those needed by edible
fungi for their quickest and most lux
uriant growth. He therefore started
mushroom farm and found that the
spot was ideal for his purpose.
Mushrooms now are mined" In
stead of coal and prove almost as
profitable The rooms Of the mine, or
the open spaces from which the coal
was dug, have been found especially
adapted to this kind of farming Such
locations have a steady temperature
throughout the year and often they
are so located as to have natural
drainage. This mushroom mine" now
makes large shipments weekly to the
city markets.
