Dairies' Income 100000, 900.

st. Paul. - Minnesota's creamery
and dairy industry now brings an an
nual income of more than 100000 900.
Commissioner ]. A Farrell OF the State
Dairy and Food department asserts in
the Introduction to the biennial report
to the state legislature, the first copy
of which has been presented to Gov.
ernor Burnquist.
Minnesota now has S55 creameries
which are patronized by $4,000. farm
ers.' the report continues. THE in
comes Of these patrons vary from a
few dollars to as much as $500 a
month. Creamery success has encour-
aged the farmers to invest in more live
stock. which in turn results in in.
creased soil fertility and better crops.
Land Is most valuable in the creamery
sections, and there also are the pros
porous farmers and the community
spirit that has developed the perma-
nent success Of creamery organiza-
tions. That the industry Is In healthy
and prosperous condition is indicated
by substantial permanent and sanitary
creamery buildings, costing from
$4,000 to $4,000 that have replaced the
old frame structures"

Strike to Send Paper Price Up.

Grand Rapids, MINI. Pulp wood,
which has increased 100 per cent in
price the past year, may set a new
record soon. Paper men who paid "a
to $3.50 cord for pulp wood two years
ago are paying So and 50 at present
and predict the price may so to s12
and even higher The increasing cost
of the wood will be reflected in the
cost OF paper. The great scarcity is
due to lack of snow in December and
the lumberjack strike agitated by the
I. w. w.
Virtually no pulp wood was re-
ceived until the last of December
This left the mills with a greatly de.
pleted stock on hand. When the
lumberjacks walked out recently they
crippled two big companies that
were devoting considerable energy 20
the cutting of pulp wood. The strike
will bring the cutting Of pulp wood
this month to a minimum.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. Sept. l.
Soldiers who are in camp in November,

tee named by Governor Goodrich TO
place an official Interpretation on the

If the absent soldiers vote at the city
election provision must be made for it
through an act of Congress. and that
hardly seems likely of development now,
since Congress is engaged in the discus
sion OF SO many things that are Of vital
interest TO the nations safety. Under
the Indiana absent voters law those
who are away from home at the time
elections are held can vote only at gem
eral special or primary elections The
Interpretation placed on the absent
