EXPLOITING THE 200.

New York has found new use for
it's ZOO. Two lady elephants were
hitched by chains to big snow ploWs
the other day, and were driven up
and down the roads and pathways
in Central Park. The elephants had
a beautiful time, and didn't want to
stop and go into their stalls when
their drivers were exhausted.
This suggests vast possibilities of
making zoos pay for themselves.
Why should the animals live in idle
ness, supported by their various COM
munities? Why not use the pigeons
to deliver mail, hire the monkeys out
to farmers in the fruit-picking sea-
son, and employ the myrmecophaga
jubata on contract to keep apartment
houses clear of cockroaches? The
kangaroo might perhaps be taught to
take school children on it's back and
hop over street crossings with them.
In short, the idea, once proposed, eX.
pands into limitless potentialities.

CONSULAR EFFICIENCY.

A big British linen manufacturer
remarks that he can get more valu-
able information about his own in
dustry from American consular re-
trade publications or any reports pub
lished by the British government.
This is welcome testimony to the
efficiency of a consular service that
has been steadily improving for many
years, as a result of taking it out Of
politics and making appointments
and promotions for merit alone.
The testimony will be readily COR
roborated by American business men
who keep in touch with foreign trade
conditions in their own lines. Year
after year this business branch of
the government becomes more useful
to American industries, giving them
authentic information regarding in
dustrial and commercial conditions in
all parts of the world The reports
are especially valuable in revealing
new opportunities for export trade.
1t seems odd now that the govern
ment used to do so little of this sort
of work. 1t is recognized today that
the fostering of business opportunity
both abroad and at home is one of
the most important and legitimate
functions of government 1t is through
government cooperation, indeed, that
German industry and commerce have
made such tremendous strides. The
aid afforded by our own consular
service has really developed faster
than our business men have learned
to take advantage of it. If our eff.
cheney in this field does not yet equal
Germany's, it is largely for that rea.
son.

CITY WEEDS.

New Orleans has found way to
eliminate hay fever And it isn't any
new-fangled scientific process, either.
It's Just the plain, Old-fashioned de-
vice of getting rid of weeds, which
has been preached in all American
communities for generations, and sell
dom practiced with any degree of en-
thusiaSm.
Last summer the city utilized the
services of twenty convicts to clear
out the ragweeds and other growths
whose pollen is supposed to cause
hay fever. Not only the city proper,
but all it's immediate suburbs, were
cleaned up. The immediate result
was, of course, vast improvement
in the sightliness of New Orleans
When the hay fever sea-
son arrived, the victims were fewer
than usual, they suffered less in
tensely, and the fever disappeared
several weeks before its usual time.
Hay feverites who, with the chron-
ic diStrust Of their kind, doubt the
accuracy of this statement, are re-
spectfully referred to the Journal of
the American Medical Association.
Here's good chance for the hay
fever veterans and the city beautiful
reformers in every weed infested city
to get together on something worth
while.

YOUR OLD STRAW HAT.

We are told on the best authority
that it will be good form in men s
fashion circles to wear last years
straw hat this summer.
The authority is not hatters' con-
vention nor the fashion magazines.
1t is the Observation-Disclosures COM
pany of Niagara Falls, n. Y, which
issues this sartorial decree. The war
is to blame, as usual. The peroxide
supply from foreign parts has been
cut down very low, and the Niagara
Electro-Chemical company, owned by
Observation-Disclosures has been for
some time the chief source of supply
for hat-bleaching concerns. Wednes-
day there was a fire, followed by sew
eral explosions in the plant. and there
will be no further shipments possible
until June l.
The Germans can hardly be accus-
ed of setting off bombs in plant
owned by people named Roessler and
Hasslacher; so while the latest wrin-
kle in mems hats may not be direct
from Paris, neither is it from Berlin.
1t seems to be just plain American.
So when it warns up get out your
good little old last years cid" wear
it with pride, and talk with your
neighbors about the beauty and econ.
omy of styles made in U. S. A."

CHARGED WITH B|GAMY
AND IN MOORHEAD JAIL
Wife of a Day Left For Norway
And Has Been Out If Country
For Seven Years

Moorhead March 16.-Simon Sever
son, Fargo harness maker, is still
locked up in Moorhead, unable to furn
ish $1,000 bail, patiently waiting for
trial on charge of bigamy, brought
by his first wife, Jennie SeversOn, last
Saturday.
Married in Moorhead.
Eight years ago sat the office OF
Judge James H. Sharp, ST., in the To-
cal court house, Simon married Jen.
ME. Olga, sister Of Jennie, was
witness of the marriage. In those
days there were no street cars, so the
trio walked from the court house to a
Fargo hotel, arriving there late in the
evening. e,...
She Was Gone.
When he awakened in the morning
she was gone. Jennie had deserted
Simon. He spent several days search
ing over the cities of Fargo and Moor
head, but always returned at night
alone. Jennie left no letters of expla-
nation, nor did she write TO her hus-
band during her absence.
Married Again.
For four long years Simon waited
patiently for the return Of his wife,
thinking all the time that something
awful must have happened to her. But
she did not return. Unfamiliar with
the laws, Simon, about three years
ago, married again. He worked hard
and gave his second wife and their
two children a comfortable home.
Just Over to Norway.
All was we'll and the little family
was happy until about six months ago
Jennie showed up. She had just been
over to Norway for while. She want
ed Simon to pay her 50 a week for the
support of their 7-year-old child,
which she had left with friends in
Norway. This Simon has done until
his recent arrest in Moorhead.
Adultery Charge Fails.
A short time ago Jennie, not salts
fed with the punishment being inflict-
ed upon iSmon, brought charge OF
adultery against her husband. Fail
ing to get conviction on this, she
signed complaint in this city and
had Simon arrested for bigamy.
Wants A Bondsn,an.
Attorney Garfield H. Rustad has ac-
cepted Severson's case and will try
to show the court that the defendant
should be released from the bigamy
charge. 1t may be that Simon will be-
bound to the district court under
81 900 bail If he is unable to find
bondsmen he will be obliged to re-
main in the Clay county jailxuntil the
last of May before he, can secure a
fair trial by farmers jury.
