Soon, According to Report of
Federal Bureau.

Washington. - The peat fields of
Minnesota will soon be utilized, &C.
cording to Director Van H. Manning
in the annual report of the bureau of
mines, for the fiscal year, ending June
80, 1915. That the Minnesota peat
fields possess great potential wealth
has already been recognized. James
J. Hill is reported to have conducted

Hill investigations are not known, but
Mr.. Manning says the possibilities for
great development are there.

SWEDEN.

The recent trouble that Sweden has
had with England over cotton has
made a queer situation in that coun-
Try. Immense consignments Of baled
cotton to Sweden aroused the suspi-
cions Of England, and in response to a
question the Swedish government
stated that this cotton was destined
Tor her mills but refused to tell where
it was to go after being manufactured.
England then began stopping cargoes
Of cotton destined for Swedish mills
and Sweden retaliated by refusing to
allow Russian shipments of cotton to
pass through, tossing the bales from
the trains as they were in transit, un-
til now trains to Russia pass through
solid walls of baled cotton for miles
and miles and the scene resembles
nothing so much as the sunny South
during harvest season.

Nielsl Nielsen Knorbasse of Vor-
basse went out hunting and he was
lucky enough to kill a rabbit. While
walking around with his booty he
heard a brood of pheasants being
called together. He put down his
rabbit (he could pick it up on his
way home) and began to- creep on all
tours towards the birds. But unfortu-
nately a fox came out of a thicket
ea4o began to figure on the pheasants,
too. The birds noticed the fox and
dew away before Niels could get u
shot at them. But it is we'll known
that misfortunes are not in the habit
of coming singly, and when Niels got
Tar enough to look for his rabbit, he
came just in time to see the fox pick
up the rabbit and carry it into the
thickct. The next day at dusk Niels
went quietly to the place where he
had dropped the rabbit, to see If he
could settle the case between himself
and the fox. And this time he was
successful. Mr.. Reynard came in sight,
stealthily sneaking up to the spot
where he had found the rabbit, anL
Niels greeted him with a load of shot
which did its work.

Plainview. A petition is being
circulated among citizens asking the
attorney general to come to Plainview
to investigate the alleged miscarriage
of justice in the prosecution of state
cases. A murder case in the summer

ted. At the fall term of court it is
charged that an aggravated criminal
case was so poorly presented by the
prosecuting attorney that the grand
