It is not generally known, that in
proportion to the need, Minnesota
makes more provision for care Of the
feeble minded than any other state in
the union. Much remains to be done,
however. It is estimated that there
are between eight and nine thousand
feeble minded of various grades from
the idiot to the moron, in the state,
and the institution at Faribault cares
for 1900 The care Of those the state
has within its borders and the proven
tion of an increase, are problems de-
serving serious consideration, since
they touch upon many phases of delin.
quency and dependency.

INSURES STANDARD QUALITY
Consumers In Small Towns and Rural
Communities Are Victims Of Dis
elimination by Big Store Methods.
Which Encourage Substitution Of
Unidentified Goods at High Figures.

Mrs. Christine Frederick, household

nal, the New York Evening Sun, Sue
cessful Farming, and various other
publications, recently appeared before
the Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives In Washington In support
of the Stephens-Ashurst bill. This
measure according TO Its title, is de-
signed ITO protect the public against
dishonest advertising and false pre-
lenses in merchandising.
The bill will legalize standard, uni
form prices and prevent price cutting
of trade marked goods by big city
stores for the purpose Of giving the
false impression that all their other
articles are propOrtionately low.
Price cutting is merely bait TO lure
customers SO that articles Of inferior
merit may be substituted at high
prices.
II appear before the committee

sumner" said Mrs. Frederick, and l

 Gun Clubs Annual Feast.
 There was a good attendance at the third annual supper of the Goshen Gun club. ". T. Curry was toast master. A number responded with fitting remarks. One incident related happened here 70 years ago, when there was no closed season on wild game. A man was working Tn the haytieid when a ruffed grouse flew up. Alighted, he went to the house and got the old hintlock musket common in those days. Returning, he had to load the gun, but had no wadding. As a makeshift he used the frazzled end of his trousers. He got the partridge. Where there is a will there's a way" was a moral to this incident.
 Another hunting experience was that of a man in the west who fell into a hollow tree. There was no way to get out. He had with him only a jackknife; his gun was outside. He soon learned there was company of two bear cubs with him, and after a time things were looking still darker for him when a scratching noise told that the old bear was lowering itself down inside the hollow trunk. He thought of his one chance of life, so when bruin had lowered himself about the right distance he grabbed him by the tail, at the same time yelling at the top of his voice. Up went the bear and man to near the top, when the bear began to lag with the heavy load. Using his knife gave the man renewed strength and out he went to safety
 The social time of the evening was greatly enjoyed.

 Rev. MT. Knight, the preacher from Maine, was here Sunday. He is ex- pected to be here tomorrow, accom- panied by Mrs. Knight.
