THE PRICE OF TWINE

Who is responsible for the in
creased price of binder twine?
Congressman Steenerson of the
Ninth district charges the in
crease of more than two cents
over a year ago to the Wilson
administration and it looks pref
ty much as if he was right. ST.
sal, the basis of nearly all the
23,0OO,OOO pounds Of twine
manufactured at the Saltwater
prison this year, has been cor
nered by a few South American
capitalists, aided by New York
capital, and Minnesota as re-
suit must pay what this par
ticular trust exacts. President
Wilson, who could dispose of
the corner with a stroke of the
pen, has refused to interfere.
This year the farmers of Min
nesota paid over S5O0,000 more
than they did a year ago for
their twine and it is certain
that they will double this fig
ure next year.

Minnesota Called

"GOOd Margin" Predicted by
State Chairman; Hennepin
Harmonious.

There isn't any question
about Minnesota going for
Hughes by a good Margin"
Chairman Eric l.. Thornton of
the republican state committee
declared recently. There was a
little furry a while ago, when
conditions looked bad in Min
neapolis and reports Of disaf-
fection from Hughes came in
from several districts, but w.
have checked the state up care
fully, and | have reports from
every county. They show things
unsettled in two or three spots,
but otherwise conditions ap-
pear to be nearly normal.
eve have been hampered by
lack of funds, due to the over
confidence of republicans, but
that difficulty is being met. The
national committee has not put
a cent into Minnesota, and it
was up to us to raise our own
fund.
Business Men Raise Funds
''In the last few days COM
mittee Of twin city business
men has taken hold, and we
now have enough to carry us
through until election, though
we could have used some Of the
money to good advantage earl
ier."
ALI Hennepin county elements
are now working harmoniously
under the republican county
committee, which represents the
various republican clubs, Chair
man Thomas H. Salmon said to-
day.
1T is true that there are two
headquarters" said Mr.. Salmon,
''but there is good reason for
that.
Used for Different Purposes
''The campaign is being di-
rected by our committee from
one headquarters at 408 Mar
quette avenue. Our place is too
small for meeting, and the Ho-
tel Nicolet rooms have been Sc
cured for meetings Of the pre-
cinct workers Of the Hennepin
County Republican club. This
club is doing good work for the
ticket, and the committee is en-
couraging and cooperating with
every club that is formed in the
interest of Hughes"
The local Hughes campaign
was first run by the Hennepin
County Hughes club but some
Of the ward clubs got together
to form the Hennepin County
Republican club and asked for
recognition. Chairman Thornton
brought committees represent
ing the two clubs together and
they formed the county COM
mittee, which now has entire di-
rection Of the local campaign.

VOTE Eyes"
On Amendment No. Eight Save
Expense to Taxpayers.
From Two to Four Years to
Conform to Term of All
Other Courty Officers.

The Judge of probate is now the
only county officer elected for two
years. The constitution of the state
of Minnesota fixes the term of the
judge of probate at two years. The
legislature has no authority to change
the term Of this important Office. The
legislature has changed the terms of
all of the county officers from two to
four years and is powerless to change
the term of the judge of probate be-
cause that term is fixed by the con-
stitution Consequently the legisla-
ture has proposed this amendment to
be submitted to the voters of Mime
amendment in order to mske the term
of this Office the same as the other
county officers. The passage Of this
amendment will save expense to the
taxpayers of the county. What sense
is there in electing one officer in the
county every two years when the 9TH
ers are elected for a term of four
years? All the voters who believe in
direct legislation by the people should
vote upon this amendment. Those
who do not vote on the amendment
are counted as voting against it.
Mr.. Voter, vote for Amendment No.
8, and vote Eyes" to show you believe
in economy and uniformity of laws.

IRL R. HICKS IS DEAD

Daily papers chronicled the
death Of Irl R. Hicks, the great
weather prophet, last Saturday,
and thereby the country loses
a great man.
Rev. Hicks, as an astronom-
er, stood alone in his field and
had spent his life in a new work,
that Of predicting storms, chan
ges of the weather, earthquakes,
etc. He not only predicted
storms and danger warnings,
but named dates upon which
they would occur.
For instance, a snow storm
is raging as we write this sketch
on October 10, and turning to
the Hicks Almanac we find the
following:
Regular storm period 18 to
l24.
He predicted that this would
'prove the most dangerous
storm period during the month. "
Gas early as the 18th, 10Th and
10th marked indications of gen
eral storms will develop. : :
By the 21st these storms will
reach dangerous stages, first in
the form of rain, thunder and
violent winds, with heavy snow
for the season, and a cold wave
out of the ordinary for October.
How near these predictions
have come true the reader can
judge for himself.
You can always tell when a
girl nowadays begins to ap-
proach the age Of thirty, for she
invariably refers to her friends
who have hitherto beein just
plain old maids as bachelor girls.

MINE PLANT BOOM.
New Metallurgical Construction in
the U. S. Breaking All Records.

From the Engineering and Mining Journal.
With the practical completion of the
New United Verde and Miami copper smell
teries, the Inspiration and the Alaska
Gastineau mills, the Anaconda and Chu-
qulcamata teaching plants, the Rose Lake
and Langecloth zinc smelteries. an extern
slve program of new construction begun
two or three years ago is drawing toward
a close. Several of these plants, however,
are still lacking their final units and
work on these will be going on during the
remainder of 1915, and even in 1916
Among such plants are the Inspiration
Chuquicamata. Alaska Gastineau and
Langecloth. which will engage the atten-
ton of their builders for long while yet.
The building of new metallurgical
plants is. however. a never ending process.
About as fast as one group is COM
pleted another is started. The doubts
and uncertainties of the first nine
months following the beginning of the
war caused halt. but things are now
active again. and probably metallurgi-
cal building is going on at as high
rate as previous to the war.
First and foremost is the reconstr rue
ton of several of the Anaconda plants,
carrying out plans that involve the ex-
penditure of millions of money In
gold milling. the Alaska Juneau mill
is the big thing; in zinc smelling, the
Donora and Gary plants of the Steel
Corporation; in copper metallurgy, the
teaching plant of the New Cornelia
Company. The Tacoma Smelling Com
pany is adding largely to its electro
lytlc refining capacity.
There are great many small plants
being put up in all directions. espe-
cially to supply the minor metals and
various commodities whereof the prices
have risen to high levels In such
operations speed of construction Is a
highly important consideration, and it
is to be expected that many old records
will be broken.

Clothes and the Man.

From the Boston Globe
To extract the romantic picturesque
out of modern male attire is as inn
possible as raising the hollyhock in as
phalt. 1t does not grow. Statues OF
great men all remind us that wherever
their greatness may have resided it
was certainly not in their clothes. Some
days ago. when the monument to Wen
dell Phillips was dedicated an art
critic observed:
There is something humiliating in
the powerlessness of sculpture to cope
with the contemporary costume OF
man..
The aim of men these days is to dress
clothes attract the least attention
either for shabbiness or elegance. What
we have lost Is color and individuality.
Colors survive at the edges, in shirts
or neckties, and in the dark browns.

He who wears an unusual garment
even somber of hue is a target for
stares and smokers. The garment may
be comfortable, convenient and even
beautiful in itself: but ic IL is not
generally worn, a tflin-skinned person
will be happier out of It.
The supreme virtue of modern clothes
is that they are democratic. Railrcai

much alike. Such clothes tend TO erase
