One Misery of ANGLO Indian Life.

Every night at dinner the Anglo-In-
dian holds kind of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some Of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one insect-a little, fat, brown,
shining creature-which emits the
worst odor in the world. If one of
these touches your food the whole is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for if one be
squashed the whole room becomes fill
ed with its disgusting smell and is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with impunity, while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and inwardly sigh "spero meliora."

Alum powders are not only cheap, but

If cheap baking powder is used for
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is a waste of costly materials worth

Apparently the wives, daugh-
tiers and women relatives and
friends Of both the paid and vol
unteer forces of the State are
conducting a campaign in their
communities for fire prevention.
Our deputies report that in
many localities in Minnesota
they have been advised that
these women, who realize more
than anyone else the dangers
that their fathers, husbands and
brothers are subjected to in
fighting fires, are spreading the
gospel of prevention.
The women do not go out into
halls and conduct public meet
ings, but their campaign is con-
Quoted quietly. They tell their
neighbors of the dangers of hav-
ing waste material lying about
III attics and out-of-the-way
places; they watch for any evil
dence of carelessness on the cart
OF children and especially, at
this time of the year, do they
watch the stoves and heating
plants. ALI of this has tended
to reduce the number of smaller
fires in Minnesota so far this
winter.
The result is that there will
probably be less deaths recorded
in the ranks of firemen this year
in Minnesota than ever before.
There is seldom a fire in this
frigid climate in which some
family does not sacrifice a hus-
band or father, who is called out
to fight a blaze caused by care
lessness.
Frozen feet and hands and
pneumonia are the most COM
mon results Of exposure by the
volunteer and paid fire-fghting
forces, but the women relatives
are the real sufferers, and they
are taking the proper stand in
the campaign against mneces-
sary sacrifice of both life and
property.

Blessing in Disguise
Tracing the development of
dairying in Minnesota from it's
earliest days to the present, Mr..
Schmahl hazarded the predic-
ton that the failure of the corn
crop in southern Minnesota in
1915 will prove beneficial. He
said:
1--WE in southern Minnesota
were giving too much attention
to the raising Of this crop, and
we're not giving sufficient at
tention to dairying. l realize
that it is easier to raise corn
than it is to carry on the pur-
suit of dairying, but we must
not forget that our best wealth
has come to us by diversified
farming.
LET us, therefore, do our
share to rebuilding anew the
dairying industry Of this state
and make it what it should be-
the best dairying state in the
union. Let us raise it from it's
present position Of fourth place
to that prouder position of first
place among the states of the
union.
First Dairy Cow About 1871
I'm the short period of 46
years, Minnesota has jumped
from a cipher to fourth place
in the dairy industry of the ma
ton. It seems almost impos-
sible to believe that while there
were a few cheese factories in
the state in 1869, there was
nothing in the line of creamer-
les. All of the butter made not
only in that year, but in 1870,
when the state manufactured
something over 100000 pounds
of butter, until long years there
after, was made on the farms.
There were no genuine dairy
COWS in the state prior to 1871,
if history is correct, the milk all
coming from grades and the but
ter made in oldfashioned churns,
one of which / operated week
in and week out for many years
and dashed with unusual energy
when butter failed to make it's
appearance on schedule time. So
far as l can learn, the first real
dairy cow made her appearance
in this state in about 1871.
Dairying worked from the south
eastern section to the southwest
ern and then to the center and
then northwest to the Red river
valley" Minneapolis Journal.

paign issues will probably be
along economy in the manage
ment of the states business"
In that connection Mr..
Schmahl began asking questions
as to where the economy will
start. Is it, he inquired, to cut
down the provision now made
for education. Is it to circum-
scribe the usefulness of the rail
road and warehouse commission,
or lower the standard for care
of unfortunates in state institu-
tons?
Minnesota, 1.-THE secretary con-
tinuel, "has developed it's bank
ing, of insurance, of fire protec-
ton and of pure food regula-
tions, it's labor bureau, it's for
estry service, and its system of
game protection, to point of
efficiency where they serve as
models for other states. It has
taken much money to reach this
high degree of excellence and it
will take more money to main
tain it. | ask you, shall econ
omy alone restrict if not retard
