it, and urge the president of this as
ISOLATION to appoint three delegates to
the annual meeting of the All Mime
sofa Development association, which
is to be held in st. Paul on jan 5th
and 9Th, 1917.
This association favors a liberal ap-
preparation by the next legislature TOR
the investigation and demonstration
of peat and swamp lands to the end
that the state may be able to give pur-
chasers of such lands definite advice
and instructions as to the uses and
treatment of the same
Resolved that legislature be asked
to make appropriation for the pur-
pose of paying adequate bounties for
the destruction of wolves whose ra-
wages are menace in many localities
We urge the Legislature to investi-
gate the land clearing demonstrations
which the state of Wisconsin makes
for the benefit of those desiring to
learn the best and cheapest methods
of clearing stump land and if found
practicable to enact legislation along
similar lines for the benefit of Mime
sofa farmers
We favor the enactment of laws au-
tborizing leasing the state lands unfit
for agricultural purposes and es-
pecially lake frontage for tourist uses.
The many beautiful lakes of this
state bring to it annually many tour
lists who spend thousands of dollars
| largely distributed among the popula-
ton and this income may be greatly
| increased by judicious advertising,
therefore we request the state immi-
grafton department to give reason
able publicity to these attractions.
| This association again endorses the
work farm method inaugurated in St.
Louis county for dealing with petty
offenders, and believes the same sus.
ceptible of being enlarged in its
scope to cover the care and employ.
ment and reformation of those con.
victed of more serious offenses.
We believe that the extension of
two years of college or university
work into our local high school cours
es would result in many young people
receiving some college training who
otherwise would not be financially
able, or who might be too young to
attend college away from home, and
We urge upon the legislature care
full consideration of this educational
proposition at the session this win
ter, and the enactment of appropriate
legislation to put the same into effect
in our state high schools.
We recommend to the Legislature
the enactment of a law providing for
a department of public domain, in
which shall be consolidated as divis
ions, the present state boards. bu
reaus, commissions and other bodies
having to do with agriculture, state
lands and like public affairs, which
could appropriately be consolidated
under this department.

citation of the splendid work of the
officers and committees of this asso
citation during the year last past.

capitalists who are interested with
others in the remodeIling of several
big plants in Alabama for the pur

laws of Delaware, for the General

been submitted to several of the lead

AMERICAN TELLS
CHINA THAT MUCH
BLOOD MUST FLOW

PEKING, Jan. 14.-Dr. Arthur H.
Smith of the American Mission Board
delivered an address before the Amer
lean College Club of North China at
lis semi-annual dinner at the Peknis
Young Mems Christian Association in
which he predicted that much blood
must be shed in China and years Of
unrest and experiment must be en-
dured before the Chinese government
can adjust itself to the changing con-
ditions of modern times. He said that
in his opinion bloodshed will come in
few years, possibly in a very short
time.
DR.. Smith said in part "A mon
archy is strong ship which may
sink. A republic is raft which new
er sinks, but your feet are always in
water. China is not a real republic
because the masses are unintelligent
and it takes decades, generations and
centuries to develop a true republic.
China is a mass of unrelated atoms,
unconscious of each other, and all
this needs chemical attraction. China
must have external pressure to mould
together this unrelated mass, the same
as we're the American colonies, solidi-
fled by the lunacy of George the
Third. The element of progress is
necessary, and political parties.
cliques, and sectional strifes all tend
to hinder the development of the
state. Men of courage are needed;
you must have more men who are not
afraid to die and willing to work to-
gether for some good cause. Stand
ready to sacrifice yourselves for the
good of the country.

WOOD PULP SCARCE IN SPAIN
Supply of GaIician Pine Has Been Cut Off by the War-May Use
 Native Wood.

The shortage in the supply of wood pulp for paper manufacture in Spain, and the high prices now demanded for this product is causing some anxiety among paper manufacturers and pub fishers. Attention has been given to the advisability of the governments undertaking to stimulate the cultiva- ton of the poplar tree, the wood of which is preferred for pulp in Spain.
 Spain imports almost all the wood pulp required for its paper industries and exports to England much of the pine grown in Galicia, which is highly resinous and not so we'll suited for paper manufacture as the less resinous pine of Sweden and Norway. Experi- ments, however, are to be made to ascertain if, by extracting the resin, native Spanish pine can be used, at least as temporary substitute. Most of the local paper mills, it is stated, cannot employ rag and jute wastes, their plants being adapted to wood and chemical pubs. Nearly all the waste material, such as fiber waste, rags and bagging, are exported, the United States having become, since the war, the leading customer.

DRUGGIST TOOK A CHANGE
Seeking Toothpaste Knew Only That He Was "Mamma's
 Boy" But 1t Was All Right.

The other day a bareheaded little boy, apparently between three and four years old, went into the drug store of James Whinrey in Muncie and said to the proprietor: "1 want a quarters worth of toothpaste." After MT. Whitney had wrapped up the pack age and given it to the lad, the latter said, Charge this to mamma"
 "Whose boy are you?" asked the baf- fled druggist, who failed to recognize the youngster.
 "Why, I'm mammals boy" said he, and could not be induced to tell his name.
 q thought I'd take a chance on the kid, anyway" said Whinrey, in relat- ing the story, because I figured out that no boy of that age would ask for toothpaste unless he had been sent by an elder person. If he had asked for candy, 1t would have been different And sure enough, had read human na- ture correctly for two or three days later a well-dressed woman, whom had never seen before, entered the store, and approaching me, said, Did my little boy get some toothpaste in here the other dayr

MonoeIonius ItseIf Aaain.

A monoclonius, only a few million years old, but scrambled apart like Humpty-Dumpty, has been put togeth- CT again by Barnum Brown and mounted in the American Museum of Natural History. MT. Brown found his three-horned dinosaur, with it's five. foot skull and relatively small brain. entombed in the rocks of Alberta, Can. ada, where it once had roamed through tropical glades. Hardly a piece was missing of the IT feet from tip of tall to nose. But the pieces had to be sorted. This cretaceous, herb-eating animal was rich in toes and teeth. In the mouth, which was guarded by horny sheath, nestled 60 teeth, 30 in each jaw and double rooted. Five toes graced each of the front and hind feet. Many of these toes were adorned by hoofs. The specimen is considered rare find.
