Probe of ~" Finances.

St. Paul, March 5.-An investiga-
ton of the business affairs of the
University of Minnesota will be con-
Quoted by House committee of five
members to be appointed by the speak
er, In compliance with a resolution Of
fered some time ago by Representa-
tives H. H. Flowers, P. H. Frye and
A. F. Pratt, and adopted without de-
bate.
Representative Flowers, in explain
ing the resolution, which was presented
In friendly spirit, pointed out that
In fairness to the Legislature, as well
as to the University; facts and figures
should be prepared to show whether
there is extravaganza or negligence in
the management of the institution
financial affairs, as intimated by GER
tain members of the House.
Criticism of University expenditures
arose with the announcement recently
that an appropriation of approximate
ly $5,000,000 would be required for
the next two years.
The committee, which will make it's
investigation principally at the Uni
versity offices, will be authorized to
subpoenae witness, to compel pro-
duction of books and records and to
take any further action necessary to
make complete inquiry.

MOTHER! LOOK At
CH|LD'S TONGUE
If cross, feverish, constipated,
give "CaIifornia Syrup
of FiQS."

A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue mother! If coat
ed, or your child is listless, cross, few
erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat
heartily, full Of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give q
teaspoonful of "California Syrup Of
Figs" then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out Of the bowels, and you have
a we'll, playful child again. A thor
ough inside cleansing is ofttimes all
that is necessary. It should be the
first treatment given in any Sickness.
! Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask at the store for 5O-cent bottle Of
"California Syrup of Figs" which has
full directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly

Would Dissolve Affiiiation.

st. Paul, March 9,-The bill to dis
solve the afiliation Of the University
of Minnesota medical department with
the Mayo foundation has appeared in
both houses of the legislature.
Contrary to expectations, the bill is
aimed only at the University-Mayo at
filiation and does not prevent other
affiliations. 1t is understood that the
objections raised two years ago by
Dean Woods and others, that the bill
then pending would cripple the work
Of the agricultural school, brought
about the change in the measure this
year..
The bill provides that the dissolu-
ton be complete by September l, 1918,
and orders the board of regents to set
about at once to terminate the agree
ment.
Two physicians, DR.. Hilbert and Dr.
Andrews, are among the senators Of
feling the bill. Other senators on the
bin include L. H. Nord of Internation-
al Falls, John w. Pauly, of Minneap-
oils, N. J. Holmberg of Renville. J.. A.
Jackson of st. Paul, H. H. Bonniwell
of Hutchinson and S. M. Knapp of Wi

than it has been within the memory
Of any man now in it's membership.
There Is not only the most united
patriotic purpose but the objects men,
bers have in view are perfectly clear
and definite. But the Senate cannot
act unless it's leaders can obtain
unanimous consent. It's majority is
powerless, helpless.
Action Needed, Cannot Act.
In the midst Of a crisis of extraor-
binary peril, when only definite and
decided action can make the nation
safe or shield it from war itself by
the aggression of others, action is i'm
possible.
Although as a matter of fact the ma
ton and the representatives of the
nation stand back of the executive
with unprecedented unanimity and
spirit, the impression made abroad
will of course be that it is not so and
that other governments may act as
they please without fear that this gov
eminent can do anything at all. We
cannot explain. The explanation is
incredible.
The Senate of the United States is
the only legislative: body in the world
which cannot act when it's majority
is ready for action. A little group of
wilful men representing no opinion
but their own have rendered the great
government of the United States help
less and contemplate.
The remedy? There is but one
remedy. The only remedy is that the
rules of the Senate shall be so altered
that it can act. The country can be
relied upon to draw the moral. 1 be.
lieve that the Senate can be relied
on to supply the means of action and
save the country from disaster.

MADE $4,000
;
OUT Of HOGS
On His Western Canadian Farm.

1t is getting to be long drawn out
story, the way that Western Canadian
farmers have made money. Many of
them few years ago, came to the
country with little more than their
few household effects, probably team
of horses and COW or two, and suft1-
Gent money to do them for few
months, until they got start. Hun
<lreds Of such can be pointed out, who
today have splendid homes, we'll
equipped farms, the latest machinery
and an automobile. Here is the case
of A. e. Merriam, formerly Of Devils
Lake, N. D. He didn't leave there be-
cause the land was poor, or farming
not a success, for all who know that
country are aware that it is an excel
lent country. He wanted to expand,
TO take advantage Of the cheap land
that Western Canada offers. And that
same story has appealed to hundreds
of others who have had like success
with Mr.. Merriam. But his story, and
he signs it, too, is:
Il came to Alberta in the Spring of
1909 from Devils Lake, North Dakota,
locating on my farm near Dalroy.
II arrived with six head Of horses
and two head of cattle and about
$500. Since then, I have increased
my live stock to seven head Of horses,
four head of cattle, and about one hun
dred head Of hogs, four-roomed
house, good barn with all modern i'm
provements, a feed grinder, elevator,
chopper, tanning mill, etc. I have in
creased my original capital at least
four times more since coming here.
'From the feeding Of hogs during
the last year, had gross return Of
$4,000.
II first started grain farming, but
during the past four years have made
hogs my speciality, and you may see
by the foregoing statement for 1916
that have not done so badly.
Land has increased at least twenty
per cent in value during the past few
years, now selling for from $25 to $35
per acre, with nominal taxes of about
$27 quarter section yearly.
'The climate here is better than Da-
s1ota in that we do not have so much
dry wind; the winters are similar to
Dakota.
GAS for farming in general, the grow
ing and feeding of live stock is more
sure than the grain farming, if con-
tinued year after year, and If every
farmer follows this he will be ahead
of the grain growers in the long run.
Taking everything into consideration,
! feel satisfied with my success in
Alberta.''
(Sgd) A. E. MERRIAM.
Dalroy, Alberta, Jan. 18th, 1917.
There will be the greatest demand
for farm labor in Western Canada dur
ing the early spring, and, in fact, all
season until November, and the high
est wages will be paid. There is an
absolute guarantee by the Canadian
Government that those who 20 to

For Repeal of Primary Laws


St. Paul, March 6.-Bills providing

st. Paul, March 8-The Minnesota
House Of Representatives has gone in
to the back passing" game.
1t has passed million dollar "buck"
on to the state Senate with only one
dissenting vote 80
The House passed bill appropriate
ing $1,070,193 to pay deficiencies in
the aid fund for high, graded and ru-
raj schools for the years ending July
81, 1915, and July 81, 1915.
Under ordinary procedure the bill
would have been included in the reg
ular educational omnibus bill. But
there was an evident desire on the
part of House members to transfer
the responsibility to the Senate
The desire to make the Senate set
tie the question dates back to two
years ago. On the last day of the ses-
sion, certain House members made a.
strenuous fight to have the deficiency
school aid included in the omnibus
bill.
The Senate finance committee re-
fused and the possibility of an extra
session doomed. Senators insisted that
they would stand their ground until
the legislative session expired by con-
st1tutional limitation rather than in
crease the omnibus bill total.
There is a widespread belief in the
Legislature that the law relating to
school aid should be changed so that
the funds appropriated can be pro-
rated. Each year the appropriation
grows by leaps and bounds.
