Cost of Renovatina oreharda.

Figures from two state college DEM

$0'9S4 and $1.635 per tree respectively
for renOvating old orchards. These
figures represent not only the cost of
one dormant spray for scale, but in ad-

trolled insects and fungous diseases.
They include also pruning and fertiliz

The Women Reform aastory

The Reformatory for Women, to be
built at Shakopee; will meet the present
Inadequate ,housifng conditions that have
long existed. The object of this state
home is to provide a separate institution
for the care, training and education OF
unfortunate women and girls.
The State Board OF Control, in COM
pliance with law passed by the Legis-
lature at it's last session, has purchased
165 acres of land for this purpose, on
which are buildings and other improve
ments all ready for Immediate use in
connection with the new institution.
The board also recommends that build
ings be erected at present that will care
for ninety inmates, at least. ia
The general plan of the Reformatory
provides first for central group; the
principal buildings. besides the Receiving
Hospital, to be, one custodial and two
open cottages. The Receiving Hospital
embodies much more than it's name
would indicate, as it will be the adminisl
trative center of the institution. All the
departments of supervision and living
quarters are centralized on it,, 81 nv.
The plans are based on what is known
as the cottage system in order that
the inmates may be properly classified
and grouped, and their occupations and
training diversified. The State Board
of Women Visitors will advise with the
Board of Control in reference to archi-
lecture, furnishings and fixtures, and
upon such other matters as the Board
deems necessary. j, ,> Il

New Ulm has no public library in the
sense that such Institutions are usually
considered. It has, however, one of the
best school libraries, probably, of any city
of similar size in the state.
There are several hundred books on

adjoining the Office of the superintendent,
on the same floor and across the corridor
from the Auditorium. This room is

THE PRESIDENTS MISTAKE

~!
The Minneapolis Labor Review points
out the mistake made by President
Wilson when he acknowledged the receipt
|of a resolution adopted at a meeting
held in that city. The Review editorial,
which follows, explains itself:
'The President acknowledged the
resolutions signed by over thirty thousand
children, women and men sent him from
the Employers preparedness meeting
which was switched into peace meeting.
He was profuse in his praise of it.
The President did not know that many
of the signers were children who did not
know what they were signing. The
President did not know how many of the
signers were employees, men and women,
who signed for fear they would be dis
charged ifthey did not sign. The President
did not know that one concernin Mime
polls which employs hundreds Of people
warned them not to attend the real
peace meeting Saturday evening because
something dreadful might happen there.
He did not know the girls at one large
factory were not permitted to sign their
first names, but only the initial so the
signatures would be taken for those of
men.
The President did not know that
Sundays meeting was originally pre-
paredness meeting, but was turned into
"a peace meeting by public sentiment.
Because the President did not know
these things he did make a mistake in
bestowing praise where he did. If the
promoters of the Employers meeting
had been honest enough to tell the Presi-
dent just how the signatures were OBJ
tanned, he might not have made the mis-
take.
''We trust we have not been disre-
.spectful, have not been impolite, un-
patriotic, or shown the lack of that great
regard which serfs must ever have for
kings by suggesting that it is not only
possible for so perfect and superhuman
an individual as President of the United
States to make a mistake, but that he
made bad one, and we hope he may
find it out"

The Tom Johnson Ideo.

When Tom L. johnson of Cleveland
first began to agitate the system of home
rule for cities, his ideas were considered.
by his critics, as impracticable theories
and mere fads. He did not believe that
the municipality should be a creature
of the state, nor subject to the pulling of
strings by the legislature, but should
be self-governed and manage it's affairs
IN it's own way. It took months and
years to bring the people to his way Of
thinking, but he finally won out, or rather
his ideas did, as it was not until after
Tom Johnson's death that Ohio had
adopted a constitution that permitted
all of his. ideas to become operative.
In the march Of progress the ''home
rule plan has eventually won out, and
in Ohio today any city may adopt any
plan of government that suits it best.
Out of Tom Johnson's agitation for
home rule has grown one of the newest
and what is claimed to be the most
feasible plans for city government. That
is the city, manager.
This plan was adopted by Dayton,
Ohio. following the decentralization of
that city's financial structure, at the time
of the flood Of four years ago. Dayton's
citizens, after reasonable amount of
deliberation, decided on the city mana
gership idea, and went after the right
man and got him. But it cost $25, 900
a year to get him. The city paid the
price, and hasn't been sorry since. Now
Dayton is managed just like any other
great enterprise, and it is a paying pro-
position.
The plan is being adopted by other
tcities. And none that have yet started
along those lines have any desire to go
back to the old plan of wards, and their
Itresulting ward politics and politicians;
nor does the commission form of city
government, which has been tried out in
many cities appeal, although it lis
probably preferable to the older ward
plan. The city manager plan will prob
ably be adopted in many more cities
within the next few years.

books as well as for a reading room.
There are also a large number Of the best
magazines to be had, both technical and
literary; besides there are several Of the
weekly local papers published in this
vicinity, as well as a number Of dailiesIs
Once, severals years ago, number of
the most enterprising women of New Ulm
conceived the idea Of instituting public
library, but the patronage and financial
aid to the enterprise were not sufficient
to keep it going, and it was abandoned.
The newspaper and magazine files, to-
gether with such other equipment as
the women had on hand, were donated to
the School Board, and for a couple OF
years have done excellent service for the
school, 8
Perhaps the school library is all that
New Ulm cares for at present, but Of
course the time will come, and that not
far distant, when a more extensive
library will be demanded, and then it
will be up to New Ulm to supply it.
In the meantime all who can should
patronize what the city now affords.
But that is where the rub comes. Bust
ness and working people are unable to
avail themselves Of the present oppor-
tunity given. The room is open only
from $3.50 o'clock in the morning until
5 in the afternoon, during which time
it is closed one hour at noon. Therefore
busy folks have but little chance to use
either the library or the reading room.
If the board has insufficient funds
available to employ an assistant to the
librarian so the place may be kept open
evenings and at least a part of Sunday,
it is quite probable that arrangements
could be made to secure it from other
sources. Why shouldn't the city furnish
enough cash for that purpose? &.
The distance from down town to the
present library is certainly short, if any,
drawback, and if the hours for keeping
the rooms open were arranged to meet
the wants of those who are unable to
60 there during the busy hours of the day,
the present library would answer very
well for the present
