the Warren Register, attending the
launching of the Marshall county boat,
'Kittegaum", on the Atlantic Coast, we
feel safe in stating the Warren news

danger Of scrap being started by the
editors when they are separated by this
distance.

very soon too, is the opinion of every
body. Farm land values in southern
Minnesota and Iowa have advanced ire
mendously, and experts are of the Opin-
ion that the situation will induce more
people to come to this section, where
better land can be had at much less
than the prices prevailing in the south
ern communities. The following dis
patch will give our readers an idea of
the situation in Iowa and southern
Minnesota.
Waverly, Iowa-The great land boom
in southern Minnesota, and northern
Iowa continues to- amaze the Oldest
settlers. Opinion differs widely about
what; is going to happen.
B. Charles VOstad, cashier of the Farm
ers State Bank sat Lyle, Mimi, said
that land In southern Minnesota is be-
ing pushed up SO rapidly that it is hard
to keep track of the price. He said
choice land near Lyle is selling for
5000 an acre and this is up $50 to SIS
an acre since January 1.
8 Mr.. Vostad said that the sales are
large; that the boom will spread all
over Minnesota, but that the selling will
stop soon and afterward farm land will
be quiet for a long time.
E.. W. Clark, cashier Of the Security
National Bank of Mason City, said that
just before he went to war a year ago
that he bought farm of $50 acres for
$138. an acre On his return he sold it
for $500 an acre and said he could
have got $3.50 an acre in ten days more
had he waited. He made $4,000 on
the deal. Mr.. Clark said that Mime
sofa is in for big boom clear to
Canada.
James A. Pardon, cashier OF the City
National Bank Of Mason City, said
lands have increased $50 an acre during
the past few weeks. Mr.. Pardon admits
making fortune.
Avery Brush, president Of the Usage
National Bank Of Usage, Iowa, said
that there is going to be lot of grief
connected with the present Iowa-Minne-
sofa land boom.
ssThey are getting the land where It
will not pay interest" said Mr.. Brush.
.sThe people have simply gone wild on
the subject. saw one farm worth
100000 turned for a profit Of $1,000
and few days later sold for a profit OF
$1,000 and again for third time for .
profit Of $4,000, which makes total
profit Of $18,0O0.s You can not pile up
profits like that on a farm and then
rent It and make it pay out. :
Many bankers and investors, how.
ever, say that the high cost Of food
(stuffs is going to stay for q generation.
and that farm prices will soar higher

DRAINAGE MEETING
Held AT I. R. FALLS
May Organize District Drainage Systen
to Control Flood Waters Ask for
$4,000 Aid for Farmers.

Over two hundred representative
citizens, property owners and others in
terested in taking steps to prevent a
recurrence Of the disastrous floods in
eastern Marshall, Roseau, Pennington
and Beltrami counties, met at Thief Ri
yer Falls Tuesday to-. consider what
methods to adopt to prevent another
disaster Many Of those present had
lost considerable property and on the
fields of some there was still standing
three to four feet of water, according
to their reports.
It was suggested at the meeting to
form a district drainage system. G. G..
Selvig, Of the Northwestern Experiment
Farm at Crookston, was named as
chairman to select representatives from
each county as committee who will, il
they deem it advisable, petition the dis
trict judge for an order granting the
organization of district drainage sys-
tenn Preliminary work and surveys
could then be begun and system es-
tablished that would take care of drain
age of the entire territory without
flooding certain sections by the drain
age of Others
The suggestion offered by J. 81. Hays
that big ditch be dug westward thru
Marshall county, cutting the Thief and
Middle rivers at certain points, and
emptying into the Red Lake river Of
the north, was received with much ap-
plause. Mr.. Hay stated that there was
a drop of about $50 feet in some -
miles and that this should carry off the
surplus water quite rapidly if another
such flood was experienced.
A preliminary meeting was held In
the forenoon at which was present the
various county agents Of Marshall,
Pennington, Roseau and Beltrami coun-
ties and J. II. Hay representing Cover
nor Burnquists Office. This committee
adopted resolutions asking that the sum
of $4,000 be provided and distributed
carefully by committee selected by the
Red Cross branches of the various cOun-
ties, by the county farm bureaus and
by the Red River Valley Development
association. The money, it was be-
lieved, could come from the Red Cross,
each branch donating as much as pos
sible, from the state, from county
boards and from popular subscription.
County Agent John HUSKY reports
that the marooned families have been
provided for and that most Of them
have been temporarily located in tents
and on vacant farms. The immediate
needs have been taken care of but It
will be necessary for farmers and Others
in western Marshall county to aid many
Of those who lost field and forage crops
in order that it will not be necessary
for them to- dispose of their live stock.
This fall a campaign will be conducted
to have farmers contribute supply OF
seed grain for those who need it. Mr..
HUSKY has commenced to take a survey
of the loss from the flood.

ORIGIN OF WALL PAPER
(Pittsburg Dispatch)

Among many other and useful beau- tiful things for which we are indebted to the Chinese, wall paper is not the least. This decorative paper for walls seems to have first appeared in Europe toward the end of the seventeenth cen- tury. It was brought to France by overseas traders, and the French iln- mediately perceived the possibilities thus offered. The paper did not come in rolls, as we have it today but in sheets about three and one-half feet wide by ten feet in length. Some of the finest grades were printed by hand and the cheaper grades from wooden blocks. The patterns represented anil mals, temples, warriors and all the other familiar figures of Chinese art The French called these new wall coverings "pagoda papers" and it soon became the fashion to have at least one or two rooms in every home of any pretensions finished with 'pagoda papers"
 Throughout the eighteenth century the custom gradually spread. Both in France and England there were adaptations of the Chinese idea. There is a record of wall paper in England as far back as the time of Henry VIII, when the inventory of a monastery in- cluded chamber hangings of painted papers" There are now in existence examples of English wall paper from the reign of Charles II.
 Some of the early attempts in the manufacture of wall paper are highly interesting Tapestries were the ele- gant wall coverings through the re- naissance, as they have been during the middle ages. But tapestries were expensive and beyond the reach Of or dinary persons. So a good citizen of Rouen named Le Francois hit upon the idea of initiating tapestries. He Lad fanciful drawings made in the t1pes- try style on large pieces of paper pasted together in about the size of a ! tapestry. Upon these drawings Le Francois spread a kind of mucilage and then sprinkled the mucilage with powdered wool in different colors "Papier volute," as it was called, then
