The Mistake of Leach.

The Mistake of Leach.
The Record is of the opinion that
Mayor George E. Leach Of Minneap-
oils committed serious error when he
permitted some Of the bitter opponents
of Senator Kellogg to use his name
for the purpose of aiding the st. Paul
bunch Of demagogues to accomplish
the junior senator's defeat. People
throughout the state do not think as
highly of Colonel Leach as they did be-
fore he pulled his "boner."- Detroit

Itinerant Carnivals Demoralizing.
The Women's Cooperative alliance
of Minneapolis is trying to keep that
city clear Of carnivals. Occasionally
there is a carnival company that is not
so bad, but most of them would con-
fer favor on cities by their absence.
The Reading Room society Of st.
Cloud compliments the city commits
sioners of the Granite city for closing
the city gates to all carniva1s, and it

Brings Railroads to Time.
Some people ask what the farm bu
reau is doing for the farmers. Well,
here's one thing. AS result of the
fight put up by the bureau the rail-
roads have decided not to charge for
icing creamery shipments when they
are in less than carload lots. This
means 100000 a year to Minnesota
cooperative creameries, or about IL
per cent saving on their marketing
cost. One farmers protest doesn't
mean much, but when the bureau gets
up on it's ear the railroads listen.

If you have notion that you would
like to move to California, perhaps you

breaks into print in the international

a spot in California where the air is
