5. n. LEE
FATHERS
TWO BILLS
Would Make State Farm
Loan Amendment
Effective

Hon. S. N. Lee. of Clay county. has
introduced two important bills in the
lower house of the Minnesota legisla-
ture, and one of them, at least, is rea-
sonably certain to become a law. That
is H. F. 6. to make effective the con
stitutional amendment adopted at the
November. 1915, general election pro-
viding for loaning state school funds
on improved farm lands within the
state.
Mr.. Lee is the father Of the farm
loan amendment and 1t was his bill
that first passed the Legislature in 1911.
Incidentally. it was the last bill passed
by the senate in that session. The
amendment failed Of adoption at the
general election in 1919, and was again
passed by the legislature at the 1913
session. once more the farm loan
amendment failed to receive enough
votes at the 1914 election. 1t was again
passed at the 1915 session and adopted
by the voters at the general election
last November.
The other bill introduced by Mr.. Lee
is H. F. 81, making 1t optional with
townships, by vote at the annual town
elections, to permit the Communication
by labor of township road taxes.

FOOD
PROBLEM
IN BERLIN
nv Associated Press.)

London, Jan. ga discussion OF the
food problem in the Berlin municipal
council is described in a dispatch 70
Reuters from Berlin by way OF AM
sterdam. At the end Of the discussion
two resolutions were adopted, the first
introduced by Socialists, demanding
uniform distribution Of food in thu
towns and in the country and the adop-
ton of steps to prevent producerk
withholding supplies in order to In
crease their profits. The second reso-
luton was offered by the Liberals and
condemned the existing restriction on
buying of supplies by towns.
Herr Wuerm, a Socialist, attacked
Adolph Won Batocki, president OF the
food regulation board, whose latest cir
cular he described as a complete con-
fession OF the impotence of the state
before the farmer. He added that even
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg's appeal
to producers had been useless.

assumed that the Eonpartisan leaders

vote, but by a two thirds vote, thus
doing away with the possibility of
it being held up by an appeal to the

Color is lent to this suggestion by

provision relating to members of the

the present assembly could become a
delegate to the constitutional conyen-

The story of BLACK orchids" at the
Lyceum Sunday is a tragic one. but
is told in the form Of novel by "the
greatest novelist in France" as a.
warning to his coquettish daughter
who is fresh from the convent, and
whose head is turned by her unac-
customed freedom. The tragic cul-
mination OF the story with the dread
fate Of the utterly worthless Zoraida,
is made far more terrible from the
fact that 1t is but half seen. The eff
ect which would heighten the exotic.
