ize the time-honored custom, the duel
ing system.
An American youth, unduiy jostled
by a German physician on Munich
street car, retaliates with vigorous
push.
He is promptly called upon for
satisfaction"
Accepting, he upsets dueling tradi-
tions by selecting the bow and arrow
as the weapon of his choice.
That choice has merit.
For instance, the bow is delightful
ly silent. 1t doesn't disturb the neigh
bors in those grey hours of the dawn
when all well-regulated duels are
fought. There should be cause for
European gratitude in that.
Then, too, the arrow should have d
salubrious effect upon dueling in gen.
eral. A confirmed duelist with a good
arrow impinged upon a tender spot,
develops a calloused sense of honor.
After few barbed experiences he's
glad to get his satisfaction" by the
American process which, in matters
of street car jostling, consists of an
effulgent: "Say, who dye think ye're

By all means, bring on the bow and

1t should add another poet-war ad-
justment to Americas record, leaving
for all time it's mark upon Europe's

Second Sanity
Inspection Made
TWIN CITY PHYSICIANS WILL
INVESTIGATE CHARGES THAT
SILENCE CAUSES INSANITY.

Three twin city allenists Saturday
prepared to conduct the second investi-
cation ordered by the state board of
control to determine why one out of
every Is men who came out of the
state prison at Saltwater in the last
seven years came out insane.
DR.. A. S. Hamilton of Minneapolis
DR.. Lawson G. Lowrey, director of the
child guidance clinic at the University
of Minnesota, and DIR. Arthur Sweeney
of ST. Faul form the committee which
will investigate conditions at the pri-
son, independent of the investigation
just completed by a commission OF
superintendent of state hospitals fol-
the insane. The alienists will:
Study the records of every man
transferred from prison to hos
pltal for insane to determine the
cause of his condition.
Examine men now under obser-
walton at the prison as probably
insane for clue to the reason for
their condition.
Try to determine how many
may have been insane when adj
mitted and how many became in
sane while in prison.
Reach conclusion as to wheth-
er silence and solitary confne-
ment tend to cause insanity.
The superintendent report on tn
first investigation will declare that in
sanity conditions are no worse in Still
water prison than in other prisons
that the 'silent system" would caus
more men to become insane if it wer
chief cause; that prison methods il
vogue here are necessary to discipline
and that prisons where reforms hav
been made have been the scenes o
riots.

SACKS. We will furnish sacks
again this year but we find that we
must charge SC per sack to cover the
wear and tear.
Our net sales to our patrons the
past season appear to be generally
satisfactory. We have had, however,
few complaints, most of which are
from growers who had inferior lots
for which they claimed could have
been sold at better prices locally
This is undoubtedly true as the local
buyer with his average price would
necessarily overpay on inferior lots
By our circular education we purpose
to eliminate inferior woods. In the
main, however, it is absolutely tru
that the service of the State Associa
ton has been generally very beneficial
to the growers. Without the activity
of the State Association the prices of
the local buyers would be less than
they were. We have many unsolicit-
ed letters expressing genuine salts
faction with their results, which are
very much appreciated. The grower
can feel absolutely sure that he will
get correct and full true vaiues for his
wool and we solicit increased patron
age this year.
Yours very truly,

To Wool Growers
Dear Sir

btdI OH -
Shearing will soon be on. We wish
every grower to observe the following
The shearing floor, either board or
dirt, should be kept clean from straw
and other foreign matter, and dirt.
The sheep should be dry and especi-
ally dry underneath. A good plan is
to keep the sheep indoors the night
preceding the shearing. All tags and
heavy skirts should be removed before
the fleece is tied. Solid tags and
heavy skirts are always moist and
will moisten the fleece inside, and heat
and burn the wool. This off stuff
should be shipped separately. At
tention should be given that the fleece
is clear from floor litter and foreign
matter. The fleece should then be
neatly rolled with the flesh side out
and with the skirts inside and tied
with fleece Irvine about four times
around. Sisal Irvine must absolutely
not be used, and too much Irvine must
not be used.
BREEDING. This year we purpose
to give more attention to comments
on the grades of wool of each grower
to the end that the grower may elm
mate the lower and undesirable grade
woods. This is done by change of
ram whenever advisable. This spring
we wish every grower to put tag oil
his ram fleece and write us that he has
done so and also write us the breed
ing of his ram and his age and his
approximate weight. In return we
will make some comment on his ran,
and will suggest changes chat we find
advisable If the growers of Mime
sofa will cooperate with lis faithfully
it will not be long before there is a
material improvement in Minnesota
wool and this without harming the
mutton requisites. We aim to make
our State Association intensely valu
able to it's patrons in the very I'M
portant matter of wool improvement
This item alone should receive serious
consideration by our patrons.
PRICES. 1t is a little early yet
to know very much about the opening
spring prices on wool. Our next cir
cular will probably give some in
formation on prices and our advances

Highway Bonds Cut
Improvement Costs
FIGURES SHOW THAT EXPENSE
OF FINANCING BETTERMENTS
is REDUCED BY BONDING.

The theory that highway bonds add
to the cost Of highway improvements
is exploded by official figures from
the state treasury this week, says a
current highway bulletin. Asserting
that use of the state credit for high
way improvements actually brings
down the whole cost, the bulletin cites
these official facts:
The state board of investment
in loaning 100000 Of trunk
highway sinking funds to Mime
sofa municipalities and schools at
Az per cent annual interest.
The state is paying less than
AZ per cent interest on outstand
ing county reimbursement bonds
for trunk highway betterments
and straight state highway bonds
would bear still lower rate.
To carry the illustration farther,
the bulletin states that if the $8,000,-
900 of motor vehicle taxes this year
was loaned on safe public securities,
Az per cent or higher interest easily
could be obtained and the earning
would be at least $360,000. Then the
SCdGe COulO UOIIO" Ou d Inc diilOuIit
of highway bonds at rate not ex-
ceeding 4.37 per cent, making an
annual interest charge of only $780,
600. Thus the use of state credit, ii
points out, would yield net profit OF
at least $4,000 year on the bonding
plan.
'The interest charge must be III
Guided in the cost of every highway
improvement, regardless of whethe,
borrowed money or cash-ln-hand is
used" the bulletin continues. ROAD
improvements are warranted only
when the cost will be earned, interest
added in, The foregoing showing that
the net cost is in fact less under the
"pay-as-you-use" policy with bond;
than under the "pay-as-you-go" plan
proves the fallicy of the contention
that needed road improvements shoulo
be deferred until funds are accumula,
ed for cash payments. The better
way is to begin profting on gooc
roads without delay, paying "as-you
use' with greater benefit and fair
ness to yourself and to the future"
