469 LAWS PASSED
COST $901.0O EACH.

Two million, three hundred and
ten thousand words-two thousand
roll calls-thirteen dollars and eight
cen cents a minute-nine hundred
dollars each for the bills!
Chief Clerk Oscar Arneson of
the house of representative woke
with a start. The legislative session
had ended many days before, but
the figures were going around in his
head like a whirlwind, and he was
dizzy.
1t was the legislature he was
thinking Of. He just finished some
statistics last week on the energy
that was used up in the late lam
ented session of the two houses.
During the session, the house met
285 hours. It took 1000 roll calls.
At six minutes each, that took 100
hours, leaving 1876 hours for talking.
At 100 words a minute, there were
100000 words spoken, outside of
roll calls.
The senate met $50 hours. 1t
also took 1000 roll calls, but only
required three minutes each. That
cut off fifty hours, leaving 200
hours for the speeches, or 100000
words.
So there were 100000 words
spoken.
The two houses met total of 535
hours. The session cost, not includ-
ing overhead on the capitol build
ing, $423,000. That makes $13.18
minute.
There were 4ss bills passed. 1t
cost 1901 for every bill sent to the
governor. There were 1925 words
spoken for every bill passed.
On the last day of the session,
the house met for Is hours. Half
of that time was taken in calling
roll "a times. In the senate the
same day, roll was called 103 times.

the treatment of these buddies will
begin June 18th, according to Cen
eral Hines, IT, S. Veterans Bureau
Director. This is the hospital for
which Minnesota Legionaires agitat-
ed for two years, construction of
which was authorized more than a
year ago, but actual work delayed
until now.
Therefore, the fight is still on.
And with the help of their state
senators and representatives in con-
gress,> the whole Gopher Legion will
demand a congressional investiga-
ton into the status of their tuber-
cular buddies in Minnesota, and will
ask that General O'RYAN, chairman
of the congressional investigating
committee, come to Minnesota and
see for himself the plight of dis
abled comrades here. And they
ask that every Minnesota newspap->
er aid in this campaign by publish
ing these facts, and urging every
citizen to report to Stafford King,
Adjutant, Old Capitol,
st. Paul, all cases of Inadequate
treatment and disqualification of in
jured or sick veterans, to the end
that they may receive that which
generous people would wish them to
have, the best treatment in ade-
quate hospitals, near those who can
cheer them in their loneliness and
suffering. A chance to live is all
our disabled comrades ask. Let US
see that they get it.

MARKING THE ROADS
BEGINS UNDER NEW SYSTEM.

Engineer Solheim. informs us that
the county forces will begin mark
ing the roads of the county in a
few days according to a plan of
numbers to correspond with the
markings on the trunk highways
but instead of using the yellow
star and blank numbers of the state,
the county system will be shield
with numbers. The new system is
calculated to simplify the road num-
bering and travelling proposition.
Maps are also being prepared to
correspond with the system. All
advertising signs under the new
law will be removed from the right
of-way and it will be up to the ad-
vertiser to get permission of the
adjoining property owners to erect
their advertising along the road.

+ |NE EXHIBIT Of
PUPILS HAND|WORK
IMMENSE WDS ATTEND
THE ANNUAL EXHIBIT OF
THE ELY SCHOOLS.

Probably everyone able to walk
was there. If they were not, they
surely missed something worth see
ing. 1t has been our pleasure to
see all the exhibits made by the
schools of this city and are safe in
saying this was the best ever. 1t
is impossible to give the excellency
of the showing individual mention.
The best could not be picked and
we will bunch them under the one
classification, Good"
The start was made in the High
School building where Miss Cash
man and Miss Hunter had the handi-
work of the domestic science de-
partments on display. A notable
feature of this exhibit was the sew
eral dishes prepared for the feed
ing of children and the sick. The
display of breads of several kinds
caught the eye and many were
tempted to change their boarding
places to Miss Cashman's kitchen.
The sewing exhibits were neatly
and tastefully made in booths pre-
sided over by the young ladies of
the classes in costume representing
various nations.
From the High School the next
move was to the Technical building
where the several classes on the
machines were demonstrating in
both iron and wood work and
where the displays of the products
of this department were made un-
der the direction of Messrs. Murn
and Fleming. The exhibit of fur
niture also included handsome
pieces made by the pupils of the
night school among which were sew
eral prominent citizens. The side
board or buffet made by Mayor
Jenko attracted particular attention.
The parents of some of the pupils
proudly showed the handiwork OF
their sons and daughters.
The mechanical drawing exhibit
of the classes presided over by Mr..
Hitler attracted much attention and
were pronounced Al by the dis
eliminating visitors. Miss Bessie
Gallagher had her writing classes
at work from the smaller to the up
per grades and the display made by
them was fine. This exhibit also
showed specimens of writing made

ming of the term and those made
at the present time. The Palmer
system is taught. Here also were
the drawings and cut-out work of
the Art department under the
supervision of Miss Rhoda and the
biology exhibits under Mr.. Olson.
While all the teachers had their
share in the production of the ex-
hibit, we are only mentioning those
at the heads of the departments ex-
hibiting.
In the auditorium that evening. a
new departure in the shape of
style show was on. The larger part
of the costumes were made by the
girls exhibiting them and only
few were exhibited outside of these
in order to show the excellence of
the home made ones. The girl
models pranced across the stage and
pirouetted in a continual procession
showing everything in the dress line
from calico to silk.
The array of exhibits was so ex-
tended and varied that to remem-
Der only small part is quite
task. Those who attended were
more than pleased with the showing
made judging by the comments
heard.

In his Memorial Day message to

emphasized the fittingness of con-

of disabled comrades while pausing
to mourn for those who have gone

clared the Department Commander,
'In the battle for disqualification
you are crusaders in a high and holy

throw his whole heart into battle for
justice to our disabled comrades.
AS we stand with bowed heads be-

er Barron, "But for the Divine Will, !
we ourselves would be sleeping to-
day beneath those little crosses in
Minnesota, in Picardy, in Flanders

full preamble to the Constitution of

nowledged this debt to a Divine
Providence by pledging ourselves to
devote our lives thus spared to the
cause of service to- God and coun-

In a message from their depart
ment officers just dispatched to

hospital facilities in Minnesota for
the care of disabled veterans is
