Cuba Will Prohibit the
 Entry of Negro Labor

Havana, Feb. 23 Pi-EntrS Of West Indian Negro labor into Cuba, which has been authorized every year by special presidential decree at the request of sugar mills need ing harvest hands, will no longer be permitted, it was stated in offi- cial circles today. The entry of such labor was prohibited by mili- tary decree issued by the late Gen. eral Leonard Wood 27 years ago.
 The decision to bar the labor this year is understood to have been reached at a. cabinet meeting. No legislative action will be necessary because the doors of Cuba are au- tomatically closed except when open ed by presidential decree.
 Although this labor is supposed to be brought in under bond and shipped back after the harvest sea- son, there are 10000 British West Indians registered at the British consulate general of Cuba.

CENTRAL JUNIOR HIGH
 BUILDING s YEARS OLD
Citizens and Press in Nurry Of Ex. citement When Its Erection
 is Delayed

On Washington's birthday anni- versary. 25 years ago yesterday. the present Central Junior high school building on Main street was occu- pied for the first time when three class rooms were moved from the Swedish Bethany church. The chil- dren went to school for half day on account of the holiday. A few days later. the rest of the enroll- ment which totaled 444 was moved into the new building.
 The building was constructed uu- der the direction of ex-Mayor Orson F. Curtis. who was a contractor. and it required more than year. The site was formerly occupied by a high school, a wooden building. The plan followed was to construct a brick addition in the rear. Then 1t was decided to rage the building in front and construct the front half of the building. When the front building was razed. discovery was made there were no doors in the rear building. all of them having been in the wooden structure in front.
 Newspapers of the day carried on strong campaign to hurry the com- pletion of the building.

MINOR PARTIES WILL
 x CONTROL JAPANESE DIET
Only 23 Seats Between Two Or.
 ganizations Which Will Run Legislature.

Tokyo, Feb. 23 OP - Two minor parties. with 23 seats between them. will hold the balance of power in the next diet. Returns from Mon- days election today indicated that the seiyukai, or government party, and the minseito, or opposition, were deadlocked.
 Some returns from kyushu. southermost of the main islands of Japan, are missing. and the yer nacular papers in general stated that it was anybody's race as far as the major parties were concern led. They asserted either might win by one or two seats. The only off cial figures obtainable, those com piled by the home office, claimed government victory by three seats.
 Of the minor parties, the inde- pendents elected IS representatives and the proletarians eight. They thus constitute a block in the diet capable of swinging the power to either the seiyukai or minseito. On the whole the political com- plexion of the new diet appeared to have been changed but little from the diet which Premier Tanaka dissolved in January. despite the fact that the electorate was en- larged for the first time from B. ooo,ooo to nearly 12.0o0,00o. This was brought about by the operation of the universal manhood suffrage law which extended the franchise to some 9.n0o.0 900 non-tax payers above the age of 9.
 Many of the new parties formed in the interests of the new voters, however. failed to survive the cam paign. Neither strong party rep Eresentative of the tenant farmer class nor the urban industrial lead- CTS appeared in the returns. Mis- givings in some quarters that the vast number of new voters would change the political complexion of the diet were apparently without foundation.

Here is a bit of information that we are sure will give you a pretty good slant on Quality Bakers of America.
 We 90 wholesale bakers, con- stituting the membership of this organization, got together on 8 sound plan at the start. It is a sound plan because it deals with the human clement and that means that it is prac. tical and workable.
 We all know that if we be. gan as rivals or competitors we would not get along at all, any more than two families living under the same roof and in the same quarters can get along without having frequent jars.
 Therefore, we began on . friendly basis and with . full understanding, because we are cooperative and mutu- ally helpful.
 So we get along peacefully and tremendously.
 After all, is not this the way to get along anyway, whether in business or in our social con- tacts?
 What is the use of wasting time in trying to be friendly with people who don't want to be friendly with you? Don't quarrel with them-just let them alone. Maybe your ex- ample will help them eventual Iy.

V-SWAMP LAND FINDINGS

Next to the school land in volume
and perhaps even more productive to
future trust funds are the Minnesota
swamp land grants. By rights, it
should have come to 100000 acres
as compared with 100000 acres in
the school lands, but a lot of it got
away by one slip or another, and the
state gave away nearly 100000
acres of it for railroads and other
promotions. What is left is trust
fund of $10,000,000 and much more in
sight, of which one-half the income
goes to the school fund and the re-
mainder is divided pro rata among
the state institutions.
Swamp lands were given in the first
instance to the state of Missouri be-
cause something ought to be done
with them and the federal govern
ment was not supposed to have the
right to engage in public works Of
any sort. Therefore the states along
the Mississippi could have the swamp
and overlooked lands if they would
make them worth something. By the
time Minnesota was admitted, swamp
lands were granted to the state as a

ignated on the plats as swamp, and
gave away without much benefit neal
ly 100000 acres more-still what is
left may run not far below the school
fund in ultimate values.
The swamp land grant to the state
and the grants to railroads from the
swamp lands by the state, are distinct
from the railroad land grants by con-
gress. That was a gift to the terri
tory of 100000 acres, in trust, to
be given to railroads which would
build on certain routes. Unhappily
the contracts were made just in time
for the companies to go under in the
panic of 1857. The lands were not
salable at any price and the venture
was a total loss. Then the state
loaned the companies $5,00O,OOO un-
der a special constitutional provision
and that was also total loss.
Finally the state redeemed its out
standing railroad bonds partly by
taxation and partly by the proceeds
of $4,000 acres of internal improve
ment lands given by congress.
Outside of that experience with the
railroad land grants and the internal
improvement lands, Minnesota has
Jared singularly well in the care and
protection of it's trust funds.

matter of course.

matter of course.
AS Ramsey pointed out, these were
not overflowed lands to be protected
by extensive levees. Reclamation
could be left to the owners, and that
is how so much was given to rail-
road companies. And that is one rea-
son why there are no swamp lands
in southern Minnesota. The grants
to railroads completely exhausted the
nearby swamp lands and had to reach
out into northern Minnesota in some
cases, where the lands were more ex-
tensive and claims were less press
ing.
AT the outset the opinion was given
to the state to accept the government
plats and field notes as conclusive or
to check the surveys for the state.
Ramsey advised the legislature to
take the government designation and
his recommendation was adopted.
Now in those days they used to
say a conscientious surveyor would
climb tree and spot the swamp lands
in four townships. If he was less
conscientious he did not climb the
tree. And good deal of swamp land
turned out to be high and dry when
the woods were cut off.
We got along pretty we'll under
that arrangements until fearfully
honest and terribly suspicious COM
missioner of the general land office
arrived whose name was Andrew
Jackson Sparks. He stopped all de-
liveries of patents under the swamp
land grants, declaring that every sur
yey made since 1880 was fraudulent
and was designed to turn these val
liable lands over to the state for the
benefit of pine land thieves and other
land sharks. 1t was years before
decision was made returning to the
original rule and by that time the
lands which might have been swamp
were pretty well gathered in. So
the land grant finally stands at A.
711,000 acres.
But large part of the swamp lands
are underlaid by peat boys which
should be valuable in the future. And
considerable areas are good agrlcul-
tural lands-in southern Minnesota
some of the latest lands of all were
old lake beds, originally designated as
swamp. Other large areas will pro-
duce spruce and cedar and sometimes
pine. Still other tracts cover deposits
of iron ore.

Of this tourist business, for there
will not only be many tourist par
ties coming through Minnesota over
the direct routes from the West and
the South, but many cars from the
East will swing through Minnesota
on account of the better highways.
While Minnesota does not have a
large mileage of pavement, the pave
ment we have is mostly in long con-
tinuous stretches where it will do
some good. The unpaved roads also
are generally good at this time OF
the year, and tourists know that there
is uniform maintenance, without any
breaks at county lines.

STAR ROUTE SERVICE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Present Temporary Star Route
from Morgan to Waybufn
to be Permanent.

Continuation of the present mail
service for Morgan is assured in the
announcement last week by the post
office department that the temporary
star route operating each week day
afternoon between Morgan and Way
burne will be made permanent on
July 1st.
Dan w. Zimmerman will be the
carrier and in fact has been the car
rier temporarily but commencing
July 1st will be operating under
three year contract.
When the afternoon train was dis
continued last summer Postmaster
Pollard and local business interests
urged the establishments of star
route to augment the mail service at
Morgan. 1t was pointed out clearly
that the curtailed service was unbal-
anced and not in keeping with the
large postal business handled there.
Congressman Clague interested him.
self in the matter and as result of
the representations made the post
office department in almost as short
time as possible authorized tenn
porary service late in the winter pend
ing the investigation as to whether
the star route should be made per-
manent. Because of this action the
star route was started a couple OF
months sooner than anticipated and
now there is the good word that the
service is made permanent with the
beginning of the new postal year.
Since the Wayburne star route
handles all classes of mail the in
coming mail is quite heavy and al
ways includes some sacks of parcel
post. The outgoing mail which is
dispatched at o'clock includes the
mail which the rural route carriers
bring in from the routes. Without
the star route the rural collection
would be delayed in the Morgan post
office until the following day.
The only exception to complete
mail service by star route is that reg
istered letters cannot be dispatched
though they are received. Postmaster
Pollard is of the opinion that this
single exception in the order will be
amended later as it would be con-
venience to banks in transacting their
affairs.
In addition to the star route service
there is arrival and dispatch of mail
twice daily on trains, at 9:15 a. m.
and l p. M, the morning mail being
an especially important one.
The present mail arrangement
which becomes a fixture in another
ten days, renders much the same SER
vice as enjoyed before the afternoon
train was discontinued last summer.
While the service to the county seat
is not quite as good, to practically
all other points the service is on a
par with that of previous years.
Since the star route also is priv
LEGGED to handle passengers and ex-
press from Wayburne, Morgan now

the discrimination of the afternoon

vantages mentioned depend upon a
continuation of the railroad schedules
