Little Maids From School.

Dijon Is famous throughout France
for its mustard and its nunneries.
Every Sunday in the streets of that
quiet old city the good sisters walk
with their young charges. Each and
all, from three years old to twenty,

garb and Identical hats. But nowadays
the uniform hat Is no longer the tradi-
tional black straw that you see in

at all. The good sisters of Dijon have
sacrificed something of the strict let

was announced today that Congress
man C. A. Lindbergh of Little Falls
was to appear before the state econ
omy and efficiency commission.
The question Of sisal will be eX-
haustively discussed by that body
John Lind OF Minneapolis is greatly
interesting himself in that matter. It
is said that Mr.. Lind has a plan for
bringing the sisal from Yucatan by a
special arrangement, SO that a plenti-
full supply can be secured for the Min
nesota state prison, without paying
the alleged exorbitant freights now
charged by ocean shipping companies
Mr. Lind is in New York looking in
that matter.
Charles E. Vassaly, member of the
state board of control, is of the opin
ion that the matter of getting lower
rates is well worth looking into. He
thinks that the sisal might be ship
ped from Yucatan by some other
route, making it almost an allrail
shipment.
1t is estimated that more than two
billion pounds Of the sisal will be
used at the state prison during the
present year.
