BOB MIs,STATED THE FACTS.

Senator La Toilette not only
gave aid and comfort to the enc
mics of his country in his speech
at st. Paul but he now stands
convicted of a bald misstatement
of facts.
He said among other things
that Secretary Bryan asked
President Wilson to prevent
Americans from taking passage
on the Lusitania because it car
ried munitions and that the
President refused to act. Sec
retary Byran now comes forward
and asserts that he never made
such an appeal to the President,
and more than that he asserts
that there is no evidence that
there were munitions of war on
the Lusitania, beyond the af-
fidavits of those parties who la
ter entered pleas Of guilt to per-
jury charges in making such af-
fidavits and who were given
penitentiary sentences for the
OffenSe.
The pretense that the Lusita-
mia was sunk because it carried
munitions Of war has been fully
exploded long ago and is now
given utterance only in papers
which designedly misreprent the
facts in the interest of the i'm
perial government Of Germany
which brought the perjured af-
fidavits on which that pretense
was originally based. Mankato

PHYSICIANS MAY BE PROS
ECUTED.

In a recent letter from the
director Of the census at Wash
ington we are asked some very
pointed questions regarding the
reporting Of births in Minneso-
ta,o says Mrs. Gerda G. Pierson,
director Of the division of vital
statistics Of the Minnesota State
Board of Health. Minnesota
was included in the registration
area for births when the area
was created in 1915. There are
only ten states in this area and
Minnesota is the only western
or middle western state in the
group. We are determined to
keep it there. This means that
we shall have to prosecute some
of the physicians who persis-
tently ignore the law requir-
ing registration. Investigations
have been started in several
places and some of them are
sure to lead to prosecution and
the payment of fines"

THEY PROVE IT!

The Citizen would refer any
skeptic on the matter Of adver-
tising to the Messrs. Nelson
Bros. of Luverne. This firm OF
merchants is acknowledged to
be one Of the most successful IN
the entire northwest. They have
been firm believers in the eff
cheney of printers ink, and have
evidenced that belief in the use
Of it. In the last issue OF the
Luverne Herald the firm OF Mel
son Bros. carried four full page
advertisements. This is not an
unusual happening with the
firm, either. Not q week passes
but the firm has at least one full
page. And those advertisements
are replete with store news.

YOUR MONEY AT WORK

The difference between q good
calf and q grown COW or steer
lis about 1000 pounds Of beef.
| Iii these times Of limited sup
|ply and extraordinary demand,
that thousand pounds Of meat
lis mighty important.
An excellent movement has
been started by the hotel men
| of the country to buy 1,000, 900
calves, which would normally go
| to the butchers, and hold them
for two years.
Here is an idea that might be
worked out by any group of city
|dwellers.
First, get together a group
under the banner: "Buy a calf
and watch it grow!' Out of the
group choose manager, some
one familiar with calf prices,
feed and pasture.
Next put into the managers
hands the money to buy calves
from dairynen or from the
stockyards.
Then let the manager find
farms where there is pasture
and help enough to look after a
bunch of calves. Let him bar
gain with the farmers for their
care and feeding.
Suppose your calf costs $25.
Suppose farmer wants $40 a
year for keeping the calf; add
another $40 for the feed neces-
sary to fatten the grown beast
for market.
Here is total cost of $55.
] IF your calf grows into a l.
200-pound "beef critter," it will
almost certainly be worth $1OO
at any big market.
If enough people join the calf
club to purchase 200 calves, the
total possible profit would ap-
proach $4,000. If the cost of
/ the managers time is estimated
at $4,000, and if a 20 per cent
lloss is counted upon, the net re
turn ought to be about 81, ,O00
on total investment of Sill
1000. This in two years.
It sounds like a get-rich-quick
Idea. And unless the enterprise
has capable management it will
go the way Of all get-rich-quick
schemes.
! With good management, it will
work. No proft-making plan
could do more at this time to
increase the actual food resour-
ces of the country.
Think the idea over, and find
out if it can be worked among
your friends John M. Oskison

advertisers is that they wish to
see $5 directly coming in for
every 81 they expend and if it
does not do SO they condemn ad-
vertising. Like many other
things, one may not always see
the very direct results, but
sooner or later they come in no
uncertain manner. Many busi-
ness houses could profit from the
lesson taught by Nelson Bros
Window Citizen.

THEY GOT HIM.

I. w. Ward, Of Thief River
Falls, in this state. had very
disagreeable experience in North
Dakota recently which nearly
cost him his life. Mr.. Ward is
a travelling man and his initials
were plainly marked on his grips,
Il. w. W." At one place in
North Dakota, a knot Of men
who had noted those initials on
the baggage waited for the man
to whom they belonged and when
he came to claim them set upon
and beat him badly before he
was given any chance for ex-
plantations. The incident affords
fresh proof Of the folly and in
justice Of lynch law, which is
too apt to administer punish
ment first and investigate after
wards -Mankato Review.

allied Owing to repeated requests
from various sources the members
Of the club are planning to give the
