WILL NOT RUN.

DR.. L. A. Fritsche of New Ulm,
has finally decided not to run for
Mayor of New Ulm. For time his
friends urged him to seek vindica-
ton at the polls, after being deposed
by the State Public Safety Commls-
sion, for presiding at the anti-draft
meeting in that city, that brought
upon that city such pronounced dis
approval by the state and the country
at large. When it was decided some
weeks ago by his friends he filed but
a day later was induced to decline.
Again his friends induced him to seek
vindication, but after filing sec
ond time has finally refused to run,
giving way to Mr.. Eibner, the choice
of most of the business men of that
city. Even those who feel kindly to-
wards DR.. Fritsche are convinced that
he has done the right thing to de-
cline and thus prevent continuation
of the criticism that the city would
receive should be he elected. That
anti-draft meeting at New Ulm was
about the worst thing that has ever
happened to it. A. generation will not
outlive the odious reputation the city
now bears.-Sleepy Eye Herald-Dis-

Minnesota will spend S7,7O0,OOC

more than in 1917, according to fig

The way to Minnesota and her sum-

expended on highway improvements
by states from the gulf to the North

Texas In Lead.
Minnesota compares favorably with
the majority of states in this terri

next with about $17,OOO,OOO each.
Iowa will spend S15,0OO,OO0; Kansas,

Federal railway officials declare
this quarter billion is only a "drop

Wheat Appears
Years Sure CrOp
BONDS

Wheat looks like the most surely
profitable grain crop this year.
The high price of oats and barley
at the present time, however, may
bring an increase acreage of those
crops at the expense of the wheat
crop.
Farmers, therefore, will do we'll to
consider the possibilities of profit
from these crops before changing the
acreage materially.
The advantage yield of wheat in
Minnesota for the last ten-year per-
iod was 1914 bushels an acre. At 81
bushel, which is about the price
that the average Minnesota farmer
can expect for next years crop, this
would bring a return Of $27 an acre.
The average yield of oats for the
same period was 38.8 bushels. To
bring $27 an acre oats would need
to sell at 87.6 cents a bushel next
year. The average yield of barley
for the ten-year pediod was 23.6 bush
els. To bring -$27 an acre barley
would need to sell for S1.15 bushel.
While oats are bringing something
over 80 cents now, and barley is
much higher than $1-14 it is not
probable that these prices will be
maintained if normal crop of small
grains is secured, especially if corn
should prove to be a good crop. That
is why wheat looks like the most sure
ly profitable grain crop.
Barley and oats must compete with
corn as feed crop. Farmers will
prefer to feed corn if it is available.
The consequences will be that barley
and oats will shrink in price more
quickly than wheat, since the price
of wheat is fixed at 1920 in Chica-
go. Corn probably would be keener
competitor for wheat than the small
grains we're it not for the seed short
age. If this is overcome corn may
yet crowd wheat for the increase
acreage. The average state yield Of
corn per acre, to bring as much as
an acre of wheat, corn must sell at
1876 cents a bushel With livestock
at present prices it is likely that it
will sell for as much as that, even
though normal crop is secured

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR THINKS
FARMERS ARE STORING GRAIN
BECAUSE OF PRICE DISPUTE.

There are 100000 bushels of
wheat in the hands Of Minnesota
farmers at present, according to the
estimate of A. D. Wilson, state food
administrator. But Mr.. Wilson does
not believe there is any general in
tention of boarding. He thinks the
farmers intend to market their grain
as requested and they have been hold
ing it because of the price agitation
in Congress. Indications are, he says,
that all this grain will be on the mar
ket by May Is. If it is not sold by
that time the food administrator will
exercise his authority to go after it,
he says.
The 100000 bushels now held by
the farmers include seed wheat which
is estimated at between 100000 and
100000 bushels. On March l last
year Minnesota farmers still held s.
100000 bushels of wheat and on the
corresponding day the year before
100000 bushels were in the hands
of the producers.

A BABY SAVING CAMPAIGN.

Last wear the number of deaths of
infants under five was 100000. To
reduce this appalling loss of pros
pective national strength, the FEEDER
al Children's Bureau is to launch a
Baby Saving Campaign April 6.
Some of the practical measures for
which the bureau is working are
these:
Immediate registration of births,
medical skill provided at once where
parents cannot afford it, care for both
mother and child at time of birth,
clinics which sickly children can
be brought for examination, and a
nationwide campaign to have babies
weighed and measured, to see If they
are up to standard.
It used to be remarked, that our
government spent millions to study
and prevent diseases in hogs, but
spent nothing on it's children. A Fed
eral Children's Bureau has now been
established, but only beginning has
! been made toward saving wasted child
life.
The business community has been
far too Indifferent to this loss. If
children had been properly cared for
ten and twenty years ago, we would
J not now be suffering from the scar
city of labor. Many families where
the old people now suffer from pow
erty, would be comfortably supported
by grown-up children. It is economic
folly to allow children, to the rails.

NO WONDER AT ALL.

The average Non-Partisan farmer
spends a good share of his time in
condemning the Capitalist" and the
profiteer. Townley tells his hearers
that a certain steel corporations earn
ings increased SO many million dol
lars since the beginning of the world
war, but he always neglects to tell
how much capital has been invested,
and so on with the sugar refiners,
and the railroads, and the millers, etc.
And the average Non-P Partisan farmer
takes up the refrain with a long
drawn out howl. The smooth organ
izer always forgets to say that the
railroads are already under the con-
troll of the government; that the steel
makers are bound by contract to pro-
duce at profit of ten or fifteen per
cent; that millers are allowed only
rs cents profit per barrel on flour;
that telegraph and telephone COM
panies donate most of their services
to the government. There are few
investors who have received such an
advance in prices without additional
investment as has the farmer.
In this part Of the country, the
farmers represent the capitalistie
class, rather than the poor, struggling
local merchants. In most commune
ties it is the farmer who is the heav.
lest stockholder in the business places
that are paying the dividends.
Oh, yes, the Non-Partisan leaguers
want the mines and the factories ane
the public utilities or the earnings
therefrom to revert back to the peo
pie, but if you want to see a non
partisan farmer take to the timber
just suggest that the land be re
apportioned.
Is it any wonder the motives OF tht
Non-partisan league are questioned

know how to care for young chill

great deal more for the community,
will work more contentedly and ener-
getically, if they have good families
of healthy children coming along.
And that is only the economic argu-
ment. The pathos Of this early death
of young hopes ought to stir our
hearts to active sympathy, and lead
