Those agricultural lands in southern
Minnesota and in the middle counties
and the valley were cleaned up some
fifty, some forty, some twenty years
ago.
The state sold its standing pine and
got good prices for the Stumpage,
though the lumbermen sometimes
made up in the slackness of the scale
for the generosity of the bid per thou
sand. Dunn, summing up at the end
of his term, was proud to say that all
lumbermen agreed that the state got
higher prices than private owners;
the average price per thousand up to
his time was $18l; he got an aver
age of $2.52 the first year and as
high as $3.50 the last year.
Iverson following him, saw one sale
made at $15.75 per thousand and
noted with satisfaction that the state
got better prices than the sales by
the United States on Chippewa lands.
Now there is little left of the original
stand of pine and other timber
The state in like manner has given
leases for the likeliest mineral depos-
its. There are no more rich deposits
to be found on the surface Develop

CAUTION IN MAKING
LEFT TURNS URGED

Be careful in making left turns!
This warning cannot be sounded 700
often says a bulletin from the State
Highway department. Carelessness In
making left turns lead to many ser
ious accidents. Right turns, II not
made the right way, many also lead to
disaster.
The state law provides that person
making a left turn shall approach the
intersection in the lane nearest the
center and shall extend his arm or
give some other clear signal showing
his intention to turn. A driver intend
ing to turn right shall approach the
intersection in the lane nearest
the right side of the road and keep as
close to the right as possible.
In spite of this law, which is the
universal rule all over the United
States, and one of the most important
rules of the road, it is common to see
drivers make wide sweep to the left
before turning right. or make long
curve to the right before turning left.
On city streets turns made the wrong
way not only lead to accidents but
they add to the congestion at busy
crossings. On country highways turns
wrongly made are much more danger
GUS, because approaching drivers are
likely to be coming at high speed.

away what swamp lands were found
there.
In the eastern counties as far north
as Pine, the school lands fetched a
like amount, and likewise in the south
west and in the middle western sec
ton. The fat prairie lands in the
Red River Valley brought higher
average price and a larger total. Last
of all, when the state began selling
agricultural land in the cutover coun-
try, it got still better average prices.
And as it turned out, some of that
land was sold on a guess-a poor
guess at that.
Sixty millions SO far accumulated
came of itself, so to speak. There is
no more coming that way, or only a
little more. There may be a million
acres of agricultural land in the re-
naming state holdings which will
gradually find market. There are
some odd lots of pine and larger
quantities of pulpwood.
But the rest of the S2OO,0OC, 900
which will eventually find its way into
the State trust fund, if it is handled
to best advantage, will come by the
sort of management and the kind of
planning and the development of pol
icy that was needless, or neglected, in
the earlier years when the state was
picking up what lay on the surface
In the last twenty years. the auditors
who have been custodians of the state
lands have been thinking about that
Recent reports by Iverson and Preus
and Chase are full of suggestions for
the future construction policy of the
state trust.

Headaches are symptom common
to so many disorders and yet looked
Upon so lightly that their neglect Is
a reel danger 10 the pdblc Headache
is the warning sign that some organ is
not functioning properly
That headaches are more serious IN
consequences than most people con-
slider is the conclusion of the bulletin
issued by the Public Health Educa-
ton Committee of the Minnesota
State Medical Association
Nearly everybody has headaches
occasionally but because the headache
itself generally responds so readily
to easily purchaSeable drugs most peo-
pie fall into the error of thinking that
the headache is the disease instead of
the symptom that it really is" declares
the bulletin.
There is probably no symptom
which is SO commonly manifest in
different disorders of the body as
headache and by the same token there
is no symptom considered of SO little
consequence as the headache. Therein
lies very real danger to the public.
"Of course you may have headache
from overexertion or some like passing
cause but if you have headaches with
any degree of frequency remember
that the headache is not to be treated
as disease in itself but as symptom
of something else gone wrong. Thus,
relief from the headache is only self
deceit that may cause you to put off
correcting the real cause when as
matter of fact it should be attended to
at once.
Headaches may be symptoms of
general body conditions such as
anemia, heart and kidney diseases,
high or low blood pressure, neuras-
thenia or social diseases.
"Often times it occurs from cause
traceable directly to some disease with
in the head itself. Thus 1t may come
from an inflammation Of the nerves of

IX-The Best They Knew

Sixty millions so far accumulated
in the trust funds came of itself, you
might say. 1t took fighting to gain
the lands and keep them from depreda-
ton; it took care and foresight to
realize fair prices and hold the funds
intact; it took vigilance and pru-
dence. And Notwithstanding some
leakage and some losses, the job was
well handled.
But it was mainly matter OF CASH
ing in ON what was in sight and hold
ing on to what was on top.
For the next sixty years or so. 1t
is a very different job. Instead OF
merely cashing in, the state has to
make its values hereafter before 1t
can realize on them.
The state sold its agricultural lands
for SIS to $40 an acre and got IN each
case full market value for them
