been ruined by the same tactics and
many a successful proposition has
been nipped in the bud because of
the ability of some do-nothing to use
sarcasm in such manner as to make
the project appear joke until people
lose confidence in it and it's promoters,
much to the detriment of the commun-
ity, which loses by it.
There are some people in Anthony
who are of this type. They lack en-
thusiasm. A smile is almost unknown
to exist in their presence. They throw
a wet blanket on every proposition
which may be undertaken for the adj
vancement of the community, especial
ly if they do not have their finger in
the making of the plans.
This most recent example of this
wet blanket philosophers wit is shown
in connection with the condensary pro-
ject which the business men and
bankers Of Anthony are working for
unitedly. Occasionally we meet this
type of individual land he represents
several people,, and he asks US, "Well,
when is the condensary going to
open" Clever sarcasm, we presume.
But at the some time it shows up the
calibre of the fellow who springs the
joke. A man who cannot boost for a
civic project but must use his limited
capacity for thinking in framing re-
marks intended to ridicule the big I'M
dertakings of the town he is living
in and making his money off of should
move on to some place where things
are run to suit him. Anthony is no
place for such a fellow,
What Anthony needs is more of the
spirit which has been manifest here
the past twelve months. The spirit in
Anthony today is for progress, in ev-
cry line. Progressive business under
takings, progressive schools and
churches, progressive thought-thesee
are what Anthony boasts today and
we cannot get too many of them. But

From Immigrant
to u. S. Senator
Following is the Story of the Life
and Ambitions of Knute Nelson,
United States Senator.

Turn backward, O Time, more than
threescore and ten. Castle Garden,
New York, is busy. Immigrants are
merging from the hold of a great ship.
T A Norwegian boy, scarce six years OF
age, comes trudging down the gang
plank grasping the hand of his wild
dies.
They are in debt forty-five dollars,
for they have been assisted in their
passage money. Present immigration
laws would denounce them as sun
desirable Aliens" but the looser laws
of that day let them pass; they ulti-
mately reached the widows brother, in
the little city Of Chicago.
Neither of them could speak word
Of English. Who could guess then that
some day that sturdy boy from Vosse
Elven, Norway, would be held, as he
is today, one Of the most eminent, re-
vered, beloved statesman in America :?
Senator Knute Nelson, an American
without hyphen.
The mother soon found employment
in housework, and the boy lived with
a family where, out of school hours, he
could do chores for his board. He drove
the cows to and from pasture, along
the "Old Plank Road" -now Milwau-
kee Avenue. Once he got job carry
ing newspapers on a route, when the
regular boy was sick. Less than two
years later, his mother married a far
mer, and they went to live near Deer
field, Wisconsin.
Upon his mothers marriage, Knute

Minnesota Is
Richest State
STATES WEALTH is REFLECTED
IN SCHOOL SYSTEM, ONE OF
NATIONS BEST.

With a permanent trust fund for
its school system totaling $32,000,000
| which sum has accrued from royalties
on ore and timber taken from state
| lands; with one-tenth of the iron de-
posits in the state belonging to the
state government; with the possession
of some 100000 acres of land which
the Federal government has given her
from time to time and on which much
valuable iron ore has been found, Min
nesota stands in the front rank of the
| wealthy states of the union today.
Wise legislation, enacted years ago
by men of great foresight and carried
on and added to year by year since
then, has paved the way for the
states financial position. The finan-
cial capabilities Of the state are best
reflected in her school system, the en-
| wy of every state in the union, and
admitted by all of them to be the best
in the world.
The first step in the founding of
this system was the presenting to the
state by the Federal government
two sections of land in each town.
ship. AS there are SO sections to a
township, the gift was practically
one-sixteenth of the area of the state
itself. Tt was specified by the gov
eminent that the lands could be sold
after so. many years-but that the pro-
ceeds of the sale, or the proceeds of
the use to which the lands should be
put, were to be used for educational
purposes only. But there was no stip-
ulation as to the price at which the
| land might be sold. Land sharks got
ready to grab it. But Alexander
Ramsey, then governor, successed in
having the legislature set minimum
price for which the lands could be
sold. This price, SIS per acre for farm
lands and 81 per acre for timber lands
| was the means by which the land was
retained by the state. Soon iron ore
was found on the state lands. Fur
| Their legislation provided that timber
might be sold by the state from it's
lands without the mineral rights be-
! ing sold at the same time. This was
another step in advance, as events
proved.
| A great deal more iron ore was
found, much of it on lands from which
the timber had been sold by the
state. Mining rights were leased,
/ anu aQQlClOndl revenues SdlHeu. AS
it was specified by the government at
the time Of the gift of these lands,
the proceeds could only be used for
educational purposes. A magnificent
system of schools was propagated all
over the state. Today Minnesota has
| the finest school system in the world.
A permanent trust of $32,000,000 has
already accumulated. The proceeds
of this are used to finance the schools.
