Mrs. Mueller is a small matter and
the affairs Of the city of Mankato
are of such deep and vital concern
to the immediate vicinity and sur

cost we should carry on old politi-

Attorney C. J. Laurisch would not
make any comment on the Mueller

ladys utterances were so ridiculous
that he could not give them any
consideration at all and would not
waste a moments time talking about
them. Then Mr.. Laurisch branched

usually find in shipment of potatoes
and how to avoid then, and save
freight on inferior and unstable
stock. Careful grading is considered
one of the main items on which sue
cess depends.
One of the most striking conclu-
sions is shown in barometer style:
how prices tend upward when yield
goes down, how the crop and its
marketing may be planned according
to the various indications from crop
and market reports. The reader is
told where and how the free reports
and summaries are to be had and
how to use them.
Evidently to forecast the market
situation is matter of shrewdness
and experience. The outlook for a
day or week or a season depends
somewhat on conditions taking
shape in the present. The reader OF
crop and market news soon learns
to look for certain changes under
given conditions and in time be-
comes able to weigh the marked i'm
portance OF whatever happens In the
main producing sections and in the
great consuming market centers.
He Is able then to plan his acreage
intelligently and to handle the crop
with some regard to the situation
and outlook. The result benefits all
classes in the long run. When the
majority of buyers and sellers are
equally informed, there Is little op-
portunity for few to gain unfair
advantage Prices thus tend to be-
come more uniform in all sections
and from season to season the ex-
tremes Of oversupply or scarcity
tened to become less frequent.
The course Of prices is shown to
depend chiefly on acreage, total sup
ply. losses from rot, diseases or
freezing, the demand and the COM
petition, besides OCCASIONAL changes
according to weather and conditions
of transportation. Among the regu-
lar and usual developments in aver
age seasons is the rise after digging
time and up and down weather
market in winter, and the spring rise
or decline. The stocks On hand as
reported from month to month dur
ing the winter. have relation in
the course, Of the late market
An estimated yield of about four
bushels per capita has usually been
followed by falling prices, while a
yield of around three bushels per
capita has often been followed by
rise OF prices. For yields between
these points the indications are not
clear. but the general price tenden-
cies during many such seasons sug-
gest that in cases of doubt, the
chance of gain may be hardly worth
the cost and risk Of long storage.

PLANTS TO STAND
COST OF SEWERS
Austin City Attorney Drafts
Ordinance That Is Rather
Unusual

Austin, Mimi, October Sit was
with a telescope eye to the future.
that the fathers of the city charter
of 1899, Incorporated a provision
that among the powers Of the city
council, they should have the power
to locate, regulate or prohibit the
erection and management Of stock
yards, slaughter houses, packing
houses, markets, breweries, distil.
leries and other industries"
1t was under this provision of the
charter that City Attorney Hughes
drafted an ordinance, which was
passed unanimously and which Is
probably without a parallel in the
northwest and possibly In the whole
country.
The new ordinance fixes a gradu-
ated scale of cost for all industries
that may empty industrial sewerage
into the sewers of the city, provided
the amount of sewage is 5000 gall
Ions or more. The city attorney
based his estimates and ratios on
the figure of $4,000, which the
George A. HORNED Packing company
has agreed to pay to the city Of
Austin and, estimating the daily in
uuStTidl SSWtTdSc lIOu IudI piduI dS
from 100000 gallons and upward per
day.
Under this graduated scale Of
charges, industries pouring from TO-
900 to $4,000 gallons Of industrial
sewerage into the sewers will have
to pay $4,000; from $4,000 to 100,.
600 gallons the charge will be $8,-
500; from 100000 to 100000 gallons
the charge will be $4,000, etc, up
to the maximum, which will be $84,-
This charge once paid will relieve
the concern from further assessment
until the amount of its sewerage in
creases to the next higher degree.

Teachers In County
Holding An Institute
They Were Addressed BY George
A. Selky, State School
Inspector

Approximately $50 teachers OF
Blue Earth county attended the
Blue Earth County Teachers In
ers' college building this morning.
The meeting was presided over by
w. Fl. Detamore, county superinten-
dent.
Teachers have an established
professional place in the world and
should uphold their position in
their work among the rural schools
OF the country, those gathered at
the institute were told this morning
by George A. Selky, state inspector
OF schools.
IF teachers are not interested in
their profession enough to work
for its betterment, then l would ask
those teachers to resign and leave
the profession" declared the speak
er. He told the teachers that they
were received at the schools in which
they were to teach, rather by the
regulations attained by previous
teachers than what their certificates
recommended for them. A certificate
to teach, he said, was a mere piece
OF paper which represented their
profession.
Inc teachlng profession, he said
was not based upon the salaries they
received but upon the training of the
various teachers. He advocated the
investment Of a<few dollars by the
teachers in joining the Minnesota
State Educational association.
Following a vote on the subject
Superintendent Detamore announc
ed that the next institute would
again be held in conjunction with the
Southwestern Minnesota Educa
tional association convention. A
majority Of the gathering signified
their intention of joining the state
educational body.

convened here. today, was expected
to consider the case of T. H. Boyd,
who is charged with. first degree
murder, in connection with the
shooting OF Frank Lefferriere, in a

said that the shooting of Lefferriere
followed an argument between the
aged man and the victim
Boyd made no attempt to escape
after the shooting and offered no
