the same to him as to their en-

Still, the whisky-ringers are his
avowed enemies. IL would appear
that they hold him responsible for
the prohibition laws when he is
only a paid government employe
to enforce them.
There is no end to the hallucina-

supremely to serve the American
public IN the uplift Of humanity Aa
a high priest Of the legal profess

The shortage of fully qualified
teachers in Minnesota public schools
continues to be a menace to the well
fare of educational system of the
state, according to report of the
teacher supply just completed in the
office of j. M. Mcconnell, state COM
missioner of education.
A survey of the teacher supply and
demand was made by the department
of education following numerous re-
quests for information on this subject
by school boards, and administrators.
Data for graded and high school sys-

led by principals of graded schools
and superintendents of high schools.
County superintendents supplied in
formation regarding the situation in
rural schools. Eighty-two counties
of the eighty-six of the state were
considered in the compilation of the
report.
The report shows that out of

of schools, 1,431 are not fully quail

Potter Proposes
-
Refuge Plan
WOULD MAKE VAST PARK AND
GAME PRESERVE OF MIME
sofa VALLEY.

Turning the valley of the Minnesota
river into a great state park and game
preserve as solution of the trouble
some problem of flood control was
suggested in an address at Montevi-
dec by Former Senator L. E. Potter,
of Springfield, who is president of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau federation.
Mr.. Potter addressed farmers gather
ed at New Ulm at a farm bureau meet
ing:
1sThe whole Minnesota valley has
been agitated for 40 year by the
troubles of flood CONTROL" he said,
"and still nothing has been accom-
plished but the drafting of a new plan
that is causing even more controversy.
It is plan that would tax the upland
farmers for the benefit Of some good
land in the bottoms, and also for bene-
fit of large tracts of swamps. The
proposal to erect three flood reser-
voirs along the river at cost of $2,-
100000 and maybe three times that
sum does not carry with it any as
surance that the crop destroying floods
that come once in a decade will be
eliminated.
"It carries with it the claim that
some 10000 acres of land will be bene-
fitted, and also the assurance that 20,-
900 acres of agricultural land will be
deprecated because it will be inside
the reservoirs and even more in danger
of flood than it is now"
"A simpler solution" he said,
"would be the purchase by the state
of the Minnesota river valley lands
subject to floods, and the establish
ment of a great game park.
Purchase Of the flood lands would
cost more, at first, perhaps, than the
reservoirs. But a game preserve
would end the whole dispute; it could
be made into forest preserve; its
meadow lands leased; in time, it could
be made revenue producer, and pay
part of it's cost by increasing the
states income and decreasing taxa
tion.
"Use of $4,000 acres as state park
would put on end to losses and do
away with the grievance of upland
farmers who object to the proposal
to assess their lands to pay the cost
of reservoirs to protect the valley
lands," Mr.. Potter said.
