Wood Resigns Rhino Appointed.


Adjutant General Fred B. Wood has
resigned and Governor Burnquist has
appointed Captain Walter F. Rhinow,
his military aide, to take charge of
the Office. Woods resignation fol-
lowed long series of entanglements,
and the governor has been dissatisfied
with conditions in the state military
department for many months. The
army department also experienced
considerable difficulty in obtaining an
accounting from Wood.
Governors have heretofore made
great mistakes in appointing mex
perienced "old women" as chiefs Of the
state military department. With
Rhinow as adjutant general there will
be big change for the better.

Socialist, from Two Harbors. went on
record in the Minnesota House of Rep

resolution by rising vote. Strand
was Kissed by his fellow members.

SYRUP OF FIGS FOR
A CH|LD'S BOWELS
It is cruel to force nauseatinQ,
harsh physic into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides" are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup Of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it: that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach, and that teaspoonful
given today saves sick child tomor-
row.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on each bottle. Adv.

One objection to the former law was
that it adopted the drainage ditch law

whereas the measure just offered is
selfcontained. The new act provides
that petition for construction of an
Elwell road, to be known as a state

three signatures. The new bill pro-

st. Paul, Feb. Ex-Governor Burn
quist insists emphatically that he did
not ask legislators to grant him addi-
tional power to curb disorders beyond
the control of local officials.
Legislators, who conferred with the
executive several times, insist en-
phatically that Governor Burnquist did
ask for additional power to curb dis
orders.
Statements by the governor that he
did not approve certain features Of
the bill passed by the Senate appro-
priating $4,000 year for the pay
ment of deputy sheriffs, aroused SEN
ators and representatives. The bill,
now being considered by House COM
mittees, was drawn only because the
governor asked for such legislation,
they say. They charge that the gov
ernor is simply passing the buck

The governor has made plain his
objections to the bill. He said that he
didn't want the responsibility for ap-
pointing deputy sheriffs to be placed
in the hands of the governor. He said
that he was not averse to granting
sheriffs more power and counties some
aid. But, he doesn't want the respon-
sibility or additional power.

WHAT A JEWELRY FIRM DID
They Invested Some of Their
Spare Money in Canadian
lands.

s. Joseph & Sons, of Des Moines,
Iowa, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable Investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm it.
With the assistance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines,
Iowa, they made selection near Cham
pion, Alberta. They put 24O acres of
land in wheat, and in writing to Mr..
Hewitt, the Canadian Government
Agent at Des Moines, one of the men,
bers of the firm says:

you that on our farm five miles east
Of Champion, in the Province of AL
berta, Canada, this year (1916 we har-

wheat from 240 acres, this being an
average of a bushels and 10 pounds
to the acre. A considerable portion
of the wheat was No. 1 Northern,
worth at Champion approximately
$1.S5 per bushel, making a total return
of $19,61O, or an average of $S1.70 per
acre gross yields. Needless to say, we
are extremely well pleased with our
lands"
1t might not be uninteresting to read
the report of c. A. Wright of Milo,
Iowa, who bought $50 acres at Cham
pion, Alberta, for $4,000 in December,
1915. He stumbled in the whole lot of
it, and threshed 4,4S7 bushels Grade

the amount realized. These figures
