CAREFUL estimates made by the di-
rector of the Bureau of Mines and his
associates Indicate that while last
years coal output of 600, 900, 900 tons
will probably be increased to $50, 900, :
900 tons this year, the effectiveness of
this fuel will DE equivalent to produc-
ton of normally prepared coal aggre-
eating only $40, 900, 900 tons. The rea-
son for this surprising discrepancy is
that much of the coal is not being pre-
pared with the usual care. 1t is cal
culated that there is per cent more
ash content in this years coal than in
that of other years. In other words,
approximately 100000 carloads of ash
are being added to the burden borne by
the railways. 1t has been shown that
the inclusion of per cent more of ash
in the coal means reduction in effic-
iency in the remaining good coal of u
per cent. Stating the case another
way, the total reduction in the GOALS
effectiveness is 12k per cent.

ONE of our progressive farmers
makes the very sane suggestion that
every farmer the coming year put in a
all were to put in a small patch it would
solve the sugar problem. He suggests
that there might be more work in an
acre of beets than the farm hands had
time to do but figures that the school
boys of town, properly organized, would
each patch the extra hours necessary
to put crop across. We know of a
man who has 700 pounds of sugar he
received for small patch of beets
raised on his farm. The sugar return
from beets is tremendous and such a
policy would indeed spare US the neces-
sity for abstinence another winter

PAPERS are being circulated through
the circuit for the reelection of Judge
Grimm and very generally signed.
There will probably be no opposing
candidate. The Jefferson County
Union in commencing his record says:
''We take an especial pride in the
somewhat remarkable way he has per-
formed his duties. He is one of JEFF
ferson county's best products. Was
born here, the son of one of our most
honored citizens, Adam, Grimm. who
espoused the cause of democracy
against autocracy and who after the
failure of the revolution in GERMANY
in 1848 left that country with Carl
Schurz and many other compatriots to
become citizens of Wisconsin. Judge
Grimm is one OF the most intensely
loyal men in our country. He is man
of singular fairness and generosity of
thought, deeply grounded in a knowl-
edge of the law and the principles of
human justice and a fearless Judge
who knows neither friend nor foe in
the discharge of his duty. He has the
united support of the entire bar in his
judicial district. The judge has used
the power of his exalted office in a
most benificent way. By kindly per-
suasion he has prevailed upon a large
number of litigants to adjust their diff
ferences upon principles of equity with
out the expense of trial. In this way
he has reduced litigation in his circuit
to a remarkable extent saving thous-
ands of dollars in court costs to both
litigants and the public. The good ex-
ample Judge Grimm has set in this par
ticular has spread to other circuits SO
that he has achieved state wide rep
utation."

In ONE year sixty-nine American
vessels have been sunk, not all by sub
marines, some by mines and raiders.
Their gross tonnage was III ,O61, SER
ious but not vital item in the world s
shipping at this time. The loss is much
more than Offset by American seizure
of 107 German and Austrian vessels of
686, 494 gross tons. We have, however
lost more than 800 lives. In addition,
426 ships of more than 100000 gross
which were building in American
shipyards have been requisitioned; and
contracts have been let for 884 more
ships. Vessels already afloat to the
number of over $500 tons dead weight
capacity apiece, have been taken over
by the government. We have also
taken for foreign account "a ships.
Secretary of War Baker, whose week
ly war bulletins have emphasized the
probability of great German attack
in the west, predicts that it will be ac-
companied by submarine offensive so
weighty as seriously to threaten the
lines of sea communication on which
the whole fate of the war depends.
This view is supported by the lowered
ship losses of recent weeks, indicating
that many U-boats have been called
home for refitting. The best that can
be said is that the real crisis of the
submarine warfare is probably ahead
Of US. But the second year of unre-
stricted U-boat warfare should see the
crisis reached and passed. If Germany
cannot win before g. sizable American
army is standing against her in Europe
she connot win at all in the war she be-
gan.-New York Sun.

IT IS only few years since from
President Van Hise down through near
ly the whole faculty, the teaching force
of the Wisconsin University were
strong partisans of LaFollette. "How
the mighty have fallen" Now, as we
see, SO per cent of the faculty, with
president Van Hise, feel outraged as
loyal men at the stand he is taking
Are these men all wrong and La Foil
cite right? Burned in effigy by the
students, denounced by the alumni,
strongly censured by the president and
faculty, expelled from the leading club
of Madison, and all for the disloyal
course he has taken, what do the plain
people of Wisconsin think about him?
Was there ever such blindness like it?

are also insistent reports to the effect
that farmers are not stripping out the
tobacco crop as clean as they might. A
great deal of trash has already been
found in that portion of the crop which
they handled, and it has been discoy-
cred that they are often running it in
with the filters, which go at the crop
price in this state. Farmers seem to
think that at the prevailing rate of
prices, from 25 to 35 cents, they can
not afford to throw out trash, and
they intend to continue this practice as
long as the buyers stand for it.

THE loss of our first troop ship as

THE loss of our first troop ship as a
victim of the undersea devils, Involving
the death of hundred or more of our
soldier boys, has brought the frightful-
ness of the war close to many Wiscon-
sin homes during the week. With so
many transports crossing to the battle
fronts, everyone feared that sooner or
later some disaster as the Tuscania' 8
loss would occur and the wonder is that
so few lives have been sacrificed.
While the nation grieves at the loss of
so many brave Americans, the country
must steel their hearts to bear even
greater disasters as the war proceeds.

with such antagonistic elements. AL
though farmers have not had casing

that they are stripping tobacco are
quite frequent and buyers are getting

SUPREME COURT OPINION

The state supreme court has just
handed down decisions in two Blue
Earth county cases:
Richard L. Houch, respondent, VS..
Hubbard Milling company, appellant.
The following is the syllabus:
One The evidence does not sus
tain finding that wheat sold and
consigned by the plaintiff the owner
| of elevators at Good Thunder and
Rapidan, to the defendant milling
company at Mankato, was sold f. o. b..
Minneapolis at current prices, the
freight to Minneapolis to be paid by
the defendant and charged to the
plaintiff; and it requires finding
that the wheat was sold and con-
| signed from the places named to the
defendant at Mankato, where it was
milled, at current Minneapolis prices,
less the published freight rate from
such points to Minneapolis, such pub
| lished rate being used in fixing the
agreed price, the defendant paying
| the freight from the points of origin
to Mankato, and the plaintiff upon the
maximum rates fixed by Laws 1907,
{ 232, being later held valid, could
not recover the difference between
the statutory and published rates to
Minneapolis.
Two. When Laws 1907, C, 232, fix
| ing maximum freight rates, was up
held and the Injunction restraining
the putting into effect of the statu-
tory rates was dissolved, the defen-
dant received from the carrier re-
funds for overcharges on shipments
from Good Thunder and Rapidan to
MankatO. Under the facts stated ii
lis held that the plaintiff cannot re-
cover of the defendant such refunds
as money had and received.
Order reversed

GOPHER STATE WILL
SELL THE TRACTORS
1t Is Proposed To Distribute
Them Among Farmers At
Actual Cost

Governor Burnquist has announced
that in response to mis- appeal on pa
triotic ground, Henry Ford of Detroit,
has agreed to furnish 1000 Ford trac
tors to be distributed at actual cost
among Minnesota farmers under a
governmental plan 1t is required
that farmers obtaining the tractors
must keep them working constantly
if not on their own then on their
neighbors' land.
w. H. Schmelzel of st. Paul is
designed to act in cooperation with
A. d. Wilson to distribute the tract
ors and carry out the plan in detail
Explaining that his attention was
called to requests by many states for
large allotments of the new Ford
tractors to aid in overcoming a farm
labor shortage, and to increase food
production, Governor Burnquist re-
Gently asked that special considera
ton DE given similar request by
Minnesota,
Favorable action on the request
was reported to Governor Burnquist
today by Ernest Kanzler of the Ford
company.
Similar schemes, it is said, have
proved successful in Nebraska, Iowa

SUIT TO COLLECT FEES

At 10:45 this morning, a suit that
was brought in the municipal court
by attorney c.. j. Laurisch to re-
cover $3.50 claimed as attorneys fees
from A. c.. Fernald, went to the jury.
The case was tried yesterday after
noon and this morning Mr.. Laur-
isch was his own attorney. Sperry
& Sawyer Of Owatonna were attor-
neys for Fernald
Mr.. Laurisch sued for this sum as
his fee for services he performed for
Fernald, when the latter had been
accused of abusing a female child un-
der eighteen years Old Fernald, it
will be remembered, was finally al
lowed by the district court to plead
guilty to the minor charge of indie
cent assault, and paid fine of $1,000.
Mr.. Laurisch has another suit
against the same defendent for a fee
of $500 on the calendar of the same
court.
The jury late this afternoon gave
Mr.. Laurisch verdict in the sum Of
5000.
