Governor ]. A. A. Burnquist did not
arrive in Mankato on the sos Omaha
train last evening, as had been ex-

M. Andrist, came, however, and was
met at the depot by his brother, Loren
W. Andrist, the local furniture dealer,
and others. The private secretary.
stated that the governor had been
suffering from a sore throat and
thought it best not to make the trip
until the next day, but his intention
was to come on the 1926 train this
morning
The two Andrists went to the meet
ing of the Knights of Pythias in the
i. o. o. F. hall. There a reception
was being held in honor of the new
members, one of whom was L. w. An
drist, his brother, though not mem
Der of the order, was called upon to
iscences of Mankato.
1t was twenty years ago that
Charles M. Andrist first came to
Mankato. At that time he was stu
dent at the University of Minnesota.
He spent his vacations as expert for
the Deering Harvester company, and
worked under the direction of the
late John A. White, then general
agent for the Deering company at
Mankato.
Mr.. Andrist graduated from the
state university in 1894 with the de-
gree of bachelor of literature. From
1894 to 1899 he was instructor there
in French and German. From 1899
to 1905 he was in France as repre-
sentative of the Deering company.
During the next two years he was
foreign representative of the same
company at Moline, Ill. During the
next seven years he was again in
structor at the state university. On
December 80, 1914, he was appointed
private secretary by the late Cover
nor w. S. Hammond.
Four years ago Mr.. Andrist ran
against Peter Ringdal for the demo-
cratic nomination for governor. Two
years ago he was candidate for lieu
tenant governor on the democratic
ticket. 81 was Governor Hammond's
running mate,' Mr.. Andrist remarked
today with smile, "and if the peo-
pie of Minnesota had voted logically
i would be the governor today"
Mr.. Andrist last evening also adj
dressed the gathering of the Masons.
He is himself third degree Mason.
He spent the night at the home of
his brother, L. w. Andrist, ON Broad
street
reception was held for Governor

proposed that on the ritual which he
had written a society be formed. His
suggestion was well received, and
upon the ritual the knights of
Pythias of America was established,
the laws accepted, and Washington
Lodge No. was formed, then and
there beginning the order which has
grown to it's present large proper
TONS" Mr.. Comstock explained that
the order stood for friendship care
fully chosen and tested, binding men
together. with the purpose of moral
welfare and good law, standing for
all the virtues in their higher sense,
and could be best understood by
those who in Castle Hall took the
VOWS of Pythian Knighthood. He
stated that never in the days of
knighthood had more service been
rendered the ladies than was being
done every day by Pythian Knights
faithful to their VOWS He then told
how the Bible class recently initial
ed had been privileged to take their
VOWS upon the Bible, which the
founder had studied, the famous
Rathbone Bible. In the name of the
lodge he asked those who had joined
the lodge with the Bible class to come
forward, and as they did SO he pre-
scented each with an emblem pin. He
then called for the Knights who had
been instrumental in bringing
friends into the lodge, and presented
each with one of the handsome pins.
The presentation of the pins was
conducted, impressive1y, and the
words spoken as the pins were given
out should never be forgotten by the
recipients.
D. NJ. Jones then announced that
the entertainment would close with
a dancing party.
The New Dance.
"And if Mr.. Andrist will stay" he
said "he may be privileged to see
the new dance, known as the Wilson
dance, which is described as follows:
one step forward, two steps back
hesitate, and side STEP" The little
joke was well received, and ELECTED
much laughter Miss Helen Bossuet
then sang a solo giving an encore
number in response to the continued
applause, and Paul Skarstad gave a
dramatic reading, with humorous
! selection as an encore number. AS
Chancellor Commander, Mr.. Jones
expressed thanks to those who had
assisted in making the evening a
success, to the Pythian Sisters fol-
the excellent supper, and to those
who had taken part in the entertain
ment program. Mr.. Jones then SANG
| dramatic solo entitled Revenge,
and also gave two humorous songs
before his audience was satisfied
The floor was then cleared, and the
evening closed with social dance.

Washington, March 31.-The Bur
nett immigration bill, with it's literacy
test and Asiatic exclusion provisions
unchanged, passed the house by a vote
of 3OS to 81. 1t now goes to the SEN
ate, where favorable action is regard
ed as assured.
The literacy test, about which the
fight against the bill had conferred, was
sustained, 2S4 to LOT.
This provision has been the cause of
vetoes of similar immigration bills by
Presidents Cleveland, Taft and Will
son. The house passed the bill over
the Cleveland veto, but it failed in the
senate. Motions to override the We
toes of Presidents Taft and Wilson
were lost in the house by narrow mar.
gins.
Representative Burnett, chairman Of
the immigration committee, predicted
that there is sufficient strength tore:
pass the bill in the event of another
veto. The president has not indicat-
ed his purpose to the house leaders.
Both record votes-on the literacy
test and on the passage of the bill
were without regard to party lines
Every member of the Minnesota
delegation in the house voted for the
bill Representative Smith voted
against the literacy test, but in favor
of the bill containing it.

An air of suppressed excitement
prevades the normal school as super
intendents of schools are 1ocking in
each day to look for prospective
teachers. There have been many re-
quests for teachers for "The Range
and also from the far west, Tacoma
and Seattle. However, only students
who have fulfilled their pledge to the
state are recommended to these
places.
Today shows an unusual influx of
distinguished visitors. First, Miss
Mabel Carney, supervisor of high
school normal training, blew in be-
tween trains Miss Carney has made
a countrywide reputation for herself
as an authority on rural schools. She
gave a lecture course last summer
at Teachers college, Columbia uni
versity, the mecca of the teaching
profession, and was enthusiastically
received.
DR.. R. e. Spaulding of Minneapolis
was represented by Miss Alma Bin
eel, who came to interview the can
didates for the apprentice positions
in the Minneapolis schools This is
a new departure in the policy of the
Minneapolis administration. They
desire to have their teachers get
their first experience under their own
supervision rather than in the small
er cities of the state as has been the
custom heretofore. So they select
promising material from the normal
school, pay them living wage, and
at the end of two years. these ap-
prentices, if satisfactory, become a
part of the regular teaching force.
Last but not. least, came Governor
y. A. A. Burnquist. The governor was
scheduled to arrive last night, but
did not come until 1920 this morn
ing. The chapel period was post
poned until later in consequence.

Municipal Ownership OF
Meat and Grocery Stores
Adopted By German City

Berlin, Germany, Feb. 1.-THE big
suburban city OF Lichtenberg, a few
miles from Berlin. whose population is
almost exclusively drawn from the
working classes, has, during the past
few months, been perfecting a system
OF municipal ownership Of foodstuffs
which is perhaps the most comprehen-
Eive in Germany.
It has not only taken charge of and
control over certain kinds Of foods, as
other municipalities have done. but it
has become salesman as well, has
opened municipal stores and markets
all over the city has done mucch to
keep prices down within reach Of its in
habitants and yet has made enough
profit TO enable It to keep its stocks re-
plenished.
Where it has been found inadvisable
for the city to sell the food itself. it has
been distributed through merchants
who have been permitted to charge only
stipulated prices and to make a profit
no larger than the city itself would
make.
The city now maintains four stores
for the sale Of meat, sausage, fats and
bacon, four egg stores, and two potato
stores. -Four more Of the latter are to
be added in a short time, as soon as the
expected increased demand for pota-
toes comes.
