ception that an amendment will be
tackled on giving the saloons, brewers
and distillers eleven months longer to
get out of business. The extreme
temperance men in the senate will
not stand for the amendment, nor
will they vote for the bill 3 if
the amendment is adopted. On the
other hand several of the "wet,
senators will vote for the bill if the
time extension is granted, and am in
clined to believe that the bill as amend
ed will pass the senate, and that the
amendment will be concurred in by the
house. Then it will be up to the vot-
ers at the general election next year,
and if the constitutional amendment is
adopted by the voters, Minnesota will
be bone dry by Dec. LIST, 1920. There
is not the slightest chance of statu-
tory prohibition measure passing at
this session, but such bill has al
ready been introduced in the house.

An important bill to further safe
guard the mineral and timber. re-
sources of the state was introduced
in the house and senate today. The
bill provides that the governor shall
employ mining and timber experts
whose duty it shall be to ascertain if
mining operations on state lands are
properly conducted and without avoid
able waste, and if timber on state lands
is being properly cut and accounted
for, and to prevent and detect tres
pass. The experts are to be appointed
by the governor independent of any
board or other state official and they
are to report to the governor and mo
one else. In short the bill gives the
governor ample means and authority
to protect the large mineral and tim
Der interests Of the state, and to check
up the state auditors mineral experts
and timber cruisers.

There have been several public hear
ings on the tonnage tax bill, the last
one was held on Tuesday evening. The
Steel trust representatives are dis
cretely keeping in the background and
the small operators on the Guyana
range are pushed to the front The
cry is raised that the super-tax will
put the small fellows out of business.
A determined effort will be made to
defeat the bill in the house. II the
bill should get through the house with
votes to spare it will stand a fair
chance of also passing the senate. But
it is very evident that the measure will
have a rocky road to travel before it
reaches the governor.

Thanks mainly to Highway Commits
sioner C. NJ. Babcock, the Sherburne
county commissioners at their meeting
last Thursday decided to make pro-
vision to meet the Federal aid of $751;
900 on the state road between thinner
man and Princeton, which means that
$50, 900 will be expended on that road
this year. With the expenditure of
$4,000 per mile well-built, gravel
surfaced road ought to be constructed,
and then it can be properly main
tanned at a small cost. The commits
sioners of Sherburne acted wisely and
are deserving of the highest commen-
dation. The action of the Sherburne
county commissioners is especially
gratifying to the writer. The perma-
nent improvement Of the road will
benefit Mile Laos as we'll as Sher-
burne county, and will be appreciated
by everyone who is obliged to travel
| it. R. c.. D.

HELD MEETING ON
WEDNESDAY EVENING

The city fire department held a
meeting at the fire hall on Wednes-
day evening, presided owe by Chief
Gruschus, and talked over matters
pertaining to the good of the de-
,partment with representatives of the
fire committee of the city council, AL
dermen Hayes and Hartung. At a
meeting of the city council a few
weeks ago Mayor White authorized
the fire committee to talk over the
situation with the fire department and
make such recommendations as they
deemed best at the next meeting of
the council.
Members of the fire department
suggested that rooms be provided at
the fire hall and free room rent Of
fered to the single fireman in order
that there would be some one present
at all hours of the night in case of
fire. It was also suggested that the
city build suitable quarters on the
north side of the fire hall as there is
about IA feet of available space.
A suggestion was also made that a
fire Inspector be appointed to view
some of the small frame buildings in
the business section Of the city with
regard to making recommendations to
the city council as to their disposition.
The fre-fighting equipment was
considered to be suitable for present
needs as the a has just been re-
Gently overhauled and is in good
working order. It will serve until
such time as the city council deems
it wise to spend a considerable amount
of money on additional equipment.

TAYLOR FARMERS WILL
BUILD SECOND ELEVATOR

A meeting of the stockholders of
the Farmers Elevator Company of
Taylor, was held last week and it was
decided to build a second elevator to
be operated on a different plan from
the one now in use. Instead of ship
ping out grain containing a large per-
centage Of dockage as has been the
custom the grain will be cleaned and
the feed sold back to the farmers.
Plans have been made to make the
new building the same size IS the
old one with the exception that it
will contain more available floor space
with overhead hopper bins. The
building will have a capacity of 10000
bushels and will cost around $4,000.
Plans are to be submitted at once and
construction work will start in the
spring.
Taylor is one of the foremost grain
shipping points of any town of it's
size in the state.

president Wilson wants to take no

him and his hackers. war is business
just as it is for the English. There
Is no heroism in his action. 49,
His great moral conceptions are
only so much froth.' America has put
so much money into anti German en-
terprses that the Morgan munitions
factories would become MORALLY in
jured If Great Britain became insol-
vent.
For that reason and for that rea :
son only, must open war now begin
against us. The final conclusion
however. Is that our U-boats are now
speaking and that their work will in
the course of the history of the world
have even more Importance than the
decisions of the American congress-"

Every Husband.
He looks about with furtive eye,
AS through the dismal halls he goes
One hears his low and anguished sigh,
One sees him trip and bruise his thigl,
And stub his toes.
And stumble on past pile and stack
Of furniture and -brac.
One hears again his moan, "Alack!
Where are my clothes?
Where are my old familiar duds?"
Search where he will he never sees
His socks, his overshoes and studs,
But only mops and pals of suds
And such as these.
In terror now from room to room
He flees an instrument of gloom.
The Broom, the dire and blighting
Broom.
1t is he flees.
And If he flies to quench his woe
And spends night in wild carouse,
TO lift a dozen stems or so
To get a bundle and a glow,
In short, a souse,
He need not be the worst of soaks.
You know yourself how it provokes
To find at home the women folks
Are cleaning house!
