Several newspapers in this part Of the
state have joined the, Suburban Press
Association of Minneapolis an organi-
cation guaranteeing TO country papers
fifty dollars per month in department
store advertising from the Twin Cities.
Between this publicity on one side and
that of the mail order house on the other,
the country businessman can no longer
take much time off to go fishing, He will
be digging for bait all the time. The
fellow who sleeps and does not keep be-
fore the public under these circumstances
has little chance of winning success in the
business world. He can not lie down and
wait for trade to come to him. He must
go after it. In addition to offering
bargain counter prices to country trade
the department stores are again paying
the railroad fares of customers when the
purchase exceeds certain amount. This
proposition places the weekly newspaper
in the position of being disloyal to the
town it is published in on the one hand
or being obliged to sacrifice $500 per year
on the other. The remedy is in the
hands of the local merchants in that they
give their newspapers sufficient support
to make it possible for them to assert
their independence about accepting out
side advertising.
Efficiency of farm labor is often as i'm
portant as it's distribution. Two young
men were blowing clover sod. Each had
two horses hitched to 14-inch walking
pillow. 1t was heavy blowing, and each
team was barely able to pillow IL acres
day. One morning the men decided to
try three horses on one plow. They did
so, and to their great surpsrie one man
and three horses easily plowed acres
per day. They plowed as much as two
men and four horses had previously done
and did it much more easily. It was
even easier for the driver, because it is
always easier to drive team that~is not
overloaded. The new arrangement re-
leased one man and one horse for other
work.

Did you ever stop to consider the inn
portant fact that advertising is, the
cheapest salesman that you can employ?
Well, it is fact just the same. You
can talk to more people, through an ad-
vertisement than in any other way. and
the price will not amount to much either.
Advertising used to be looked upon as a
great mystery and an expensive luxury.
Today, the modern business man realizes
the fact that advertising is the most
potent force at his command and through
intelligent and judicious advertising he
owes in great measure his successful
business career. These are facts not
fancies.

The dehorning of cattle is absolutely
needless, declares Our Dumb Animals, be-
cause by a single minutes time the
growth of the horn in the calf can be
prevented. It says: "Dip the finger
in water, moisten the little bunch on
the Calls head where the horn starts,
rub it with a stick of caustic potash
until it looks a little red, not even
breaking the skin, and no horn will ever
appear. This should be done before
the calf is two weeks old, or even better,
when one week old. No pain is caused.
We have often done it ourselves while
the calf has been drinking, and besides
shaking it's head because of minute
or two's smarting, no sign of discomfort
is manifested.

Announcement is made by the U. S.
Department of the Interior that there
are inmmese quantities of shale in
Colorado and Wyoming, which when
properly treated produces a high grade
of gasoline, kerosene and paraffin. The
announcement in itself is an interesting
news item, but it is of even greater impor-
lance of the people of this country, be-
cause it shows how little developed are
the natural resources of this country.
1t shows that the productive oil fields of
Pennsylvania, Texas and Kansas have
been permitted to furnish the liquid fuel
supply of the country, without attempt
to devise ways and means of producing
the liquid through scientific methods and
at a smaller cost. Simultaneously with
the announcement of the presence of the
shale fields it is reported that the expense
Of refining or distilling from this material
is prohibitive unless the price of oil
should take an upward bound. If that

Oil interests would no doubt be pleased
to accommodate. But that is not the
point. The point is, either our scientists
are not making progress along this and
other lines or they are being discouraged
by private interests or by the govern
ment. Other nations are far more ad-
vanced in utilizing those resources which
now lie dormant and are of no value
except as ornaments or curiosities. The
shale fields of Colorado and Wyoming
always have been there, but no at
tempt has ever been made to develop
them into something more than mere
showplaces for the tourist or an aggrava-
ton to the occupants of the second and
succeeding automobiles travelling through
the district. That shale contains oil
is not an astounding discovery. The
fact has been known for years. Had the
government experts made the discovery
that they could produce gasoline from
this shale at trifing cost, it would have
been of immense value to the country
and it's people, but the statement that
they can not produce it as cheaply as the
present price of gasoline is adding insult
to injury.

Legal Cloud Should
Be Removed.

Oficeholders in every county in the
state are in a situation of uncertainty,
occasioned by the remark of Justice
Hallam in rendering a Supreme Court
decision and this uncertainty should be
removed forthwith. Either the county
officials are serving a four-year term and
the newspaper stories merely are a
tempest in a teapot or else they must
stand for reelection.
So far as we are concerned, it is i'm
material whether the present officials Of
Brown county retain their positions for
another two years or not. We have no
ak to grind. But if the law passed by
the legislature of 1913 evades or violates
the spirit and intent of the Constitution
of Minnesota, then this paper is un-
alterably opposed to passing up the
matter in silence and overlooking the
infraction of the law, if such it may be
termed.
To our mind the members of the state
legislature who drafted the law lengthen-
ing the terms Of county officers from
two to four years knew full we'll the
danger OF it's being declared unconstitu-
tional when submitted to the microscopic
scrutiny of men learned in the law
The section of the Constitution, quoted
in the news columns of the Review last
week would seem plain to the average
citizen and to say that the section does
not specifically state which officers shall
be elected at a general election is an
evasion of the spirit and intent Of the law
and a mere technical point to evade
submission of an amendment to the con-
stitution to the people.
The section says ''the first general
election for State and County officers
shall be held in this year, 1884, and there
after the general election shall be held
biennially." The contention of the legal
lights of legislative calibre is that the
section simply obligates the people to
hold general election every two years.
They contend thai the words state and
county officers in the first clause are
absolutely superhuous, because they do
not appear in the last clause. But the
intent of the law seems far different and
served an entirely different purpose at
the time of it's adoption by the people as
a part of the Constitution. Previous to
that time county officers in various parts
of the state had been elected for terms
varying from one to our years and
fiscal years ended at different times
some in January, others in June and still

others in April and May. The intent of

others in April and May. The intent of
the constitutional amendment, was to
remedy all of these defects in county and
state. government at the same time and
the words general election for state; and
county officers" were used advisedly ard
not for the purpose of leaving the intent
of the law open to question.
Of course people will feel sorry for
those officials who had made arrange
ments for four-year stay at the court
house, but feeling sorry does not alter
the situation. They might find consola-
ton in the fact that misunderstanding
of the law are common occurrences. Take
for instance the granting of liquor
licenses in some of the Northern Mime
sofa counties, formerly Indian reserva-
lions. The government granted the
licenses and then sent special agents to
confiscate the liquor sold under the
very license the government had issued.
1t is also misunderstanding of the law
in the first instance and enforcement of
the law in the second. The symathy
racket failed to have any effect.
However correct or incorrect the YER
sion may be that the terms of county
officials is but two years, it is absolutely
necessary that the point raised be settled
for good at once. Officials of this and
other counties have right to know where
they are at and a test case should be
started to bring the matter into the
courts for final decision.

Members of the local militia COM
panies' are following the Mexican de-
velopments with keen interest and
should serious trouble ensue they would
no doubt be called upon either to do
border duty or enlist in the regular estab-
lishment. The Second Regiment is in
first-class condition, according to Col.
Buschers. Every company is fully
equipped for the field and the troops
could be modified in three to four days.

Men Become BrMtes Under
Modern Police
Methods

Considerable unfavorable comment
was occasioned by the actions of the
agent of the state training school last
Saturday when he took the young
Schroer boy into custody. The young
fellow had been up to one of his usual
tricks and the state agent had come to
the city to take the boy back to the
training school. The boy got away
from the officers Friday evening, but was
again located the next morning. In
stead of taking the prisoner direct to the
county jail the officers seemed to make
it a special point to parade their bravery
through the downtown streets, exposing
the handcuffed youngster to public gaze
as much as possible. That the boy is
incorrigible is not questioned by those
who made the criticism, neither is it their
desire to point to the state agent or those
who assisted him as individuals, but
rather to the fact that modern police and
correction house methods seem to have
made brutes of men who otherwise would
be regarded as gentlemen. To show that
his wits were just as sharp or even
sharper than his captor's, the boy broke
away from the officers while on their way
from the depot to the training school at
Red Wing and again made good his
escape. 1t is to be hoped that the lad
will yet be saved by falling into the
hands of some one who will treat him as
a person suffering from mental disease
and make systematic effort to effect
a cure rather than that the authori-
ties should again have the opportunity
to lead him through the streets with
manacled hands and chained feet. The
boy may be almost wholly bad and yet
it is currently reported that at times he
will do anything for his mother. If that
is the case, then, indeed it is a pity that
some help cannot be found for him. But
such help must not be expected from the
agents of brutalizing system founded
on force. His is a case for the doctor,
not for the policeman's billy.

Investigation shows, so Editor Nor
eaux of the Luverne Herald told the hard
ware dealers in session at St. Paul, that
they use the least advertising space of
any merchants, although there is strong
competition in their line of goods from
other retailers and department stores.
And at the same time there is general
complaint among the hardware dealers
because the "cat" houses are getting a
large amount of their business away
from them. There is a reason. The

Occasionally bull dog or some other

family than child. In divorce case
not long ago each was willing to let the
other have the children but each side
wanted to keep the two dogs. Such is

We don't quite get that remark about
the "other dog" but it may have been
the real cause of the family trouble.
There are some things about the state
government that need reformation, no
doubt. Should private business be
run in the same Anticipated manner that
some parts of the state machinery are
conducted it would 60 bump in short
order. Businesslike methods should be
employed in managing the states affairs,
and not the red-tape processes of bu-
reacracy.-Hutchimsom Leader.
Bro. Avery has been in the service of
the state long enough to be able to speak
with the knowledge of personal observa-
ton.
The person who devised the plan of
raising money for a government battle
ship by soliciting dimes from the school
children of the United States, ought to be
sent to an imbecile asylum for treatment.
There may be some question as to the
number of battleships the nation needs,
but there is no question as to it's ability
to pay for all that it needs by such taxa
ton as may be required.
