Barred Women Rulers

The Sale law was a code Of laws
relating to crimes, civil injuries and
inheritance of estates among the Sa-
liam or Merovingian Franks, compiled
about the end of the Fifth century
The law provided that no portion of
Sale land could be inherited by a
woman. By the arbitrary application
OF this law to the succession to the
crown, women were excluded from the
throne Of France in the Fourteenth
century, and it is in this sense that
the term "Salic law is commonly
used.

Fowl Thefts.

Fowl Thefts.
Few of us have considered chicken
theftS in the realm of major crime.
Rather their real purpose seemed to
have been to furnish material for
jokes.
What shock to read that five mem
bers of huge alleged chcken-stealing
ring were arrested in Minneapolis last
week and that their loot for the year,
according to authorities, was greater
than the aggregate lost in state bank
robberies the last IL months.
The alleged thieves had a modern
slaughter house and a fleet of trucks
to assist in their crime. The poultry
stolen was sold to hot-dog stands,
roadhouseS and cheap cafes, it is
claimed by the police. Farmers in the
Twin City area were the victims.
Minnesota Again.
Running true to form, Minnesota
farmers have again covered themselves
with glory. A good share of the prizes
at the International Livestock show in
Chicago last week was won by our
breeders.
Grimm Facts.
In northern states, Grimm alfalfa
has an enviable reputation for hardi-
ness. AS result the name Grimm has
been used in various combinations to
sell alfalfa seed. Affidavit Grimm %
Grimm type" and others are sold to
miSled farmers, who believe they are
buying the genuine Grimm.
This department has issued a regu-
lation requiring the word Grimm" to
be used only when the seed sold as
such is from a field that has been
by an authorized agency in
the state where the seed was grown.
1t is also required that Grimm seed
be traced to pure Grimm alfalfa ances-
try. Grimm must be sold in sealed
bags of 80 pounds or more and be
labeled to show registration, indemnity
and inspectors name.
Look carefully at the tag and the
bag before you buy. Be sure and
get Grimm when you are paying for
that variety.
Money Earned.
One thousand and twenty-one cars
(36, 756,000 pounds) of Minnesota po-
tatoes arrived in Chicago from August
Is to November 81, w. w. Hall, U. S.

Poetic Ancient Name

The pillars of Hercules is the poetic
name given to the entrance into the
Mediterranean between the rocks of
Gibraltar in Spain and Mt. Hacho in
Africa, says Pathfinder Magazine. The
two rocks themselves were known to
the ancients as the pillars of Her
cules." According to legend, the two

Hercules in order to reach Gades or

FARM AND MARKET

of Wisconsin in Chicago. In 1881
Minnesota tubers have received an
average of six cents per hundred more
in Chicago than those of Wisconsin
Thus there has been a theoretical gain
of 81 cents a hundred for Minnesota
s77,l87 for Minnesota potato raisers up
to date this year.
All this would indicate that a good
grading system, such as was intro
duced into Minnesota early this fall
does bring results.
Livestock Marketing.
Cattle, hog and sheep prices at South
st. Paul were lower on all classes last
week, c. A. Marzolf, market reporter
has informed us. The decline was
from Is to SO cents for all classes
Heavy shipments were blamed.
Two hundred to $50 pound hogs
were most in demand last week, Mr.
Marzolf said Cold weather turned
the preference of the public to heavier
cuts and consequently bigger hogs are
popular.
In South ST. Paul medium and COM
mon cows are selling at $35 to $50 and
choice cows from $50 to $50.
Cash Kept at Home.
One hundred and Is Oil and gas CO.
operatives in Minnesota in 1880 re-
turned $685. 200 in refunds to patrons
according to Deputy Commissioner Hay.
This sum was paid after operating
expenses and interest of six to eight
per cent on capital stock, as well as
10 per cent of net earnings Gas required
by law, had been deducted.
The bulk of the 81 ,288 200 returned to
state patrons would have otherwise
left Minnesota, Mr.. Hay said.
All Agriculture, Dairy and Food De-
partment employees are supplied with
cooperative gasoline and oil coupon
books for use on state work.
Something to Shoot At
One of our deputy commissioners
tells this one Cat every available OPP
portunity):
An adventurous rooster wandered
through hole in ZOO fence and
CHANGED upon an ostrich egg. He was
greatly impressed. After short inspec-
ton, he hurriedly returned to his
flock and brought it back to the scene
Ladies" he said in his pompous
manner, "far be it from me to find
fault with your work. In many re-
spects it has been splendid, but, and
he indicated his discovery, st just want
to how you what one of your sisters is
doing"

Whale Oil Uses

Originally the principal uses Of
whale oil were for soap making and
the manufacture of lubricants, but i'm
provements in refining processes have
resulted in the elimination of the fishy
taste, so that it is widely used
throughout European countries, espe-
cially in the manufacture of lard sub
stitutes, and the production of such
edible fats as margarine.

Japan, is as follows: There were three
wise monkeys Who gave this heritage

-Mikasuru, who hears no evil, and
Mazaru, who speaks no evil. That
legend has been embodied in a prov

Name Given Coffee

Mandheling and Ankola, grown In
the Dutch East Indies, on the island

Wood Used for the Ark

The Bible states that the ark was
built of gopher wood. The precise
species has not been definitely deter
mined. Cypress, pine and cedar are
the three most likely and the general
opinion is that cypress was the wood
used.

The fluet typewriter of Dick Cullum, columnist of the Mime apolis Journal, contributes this significant slant to the sporting times:
 "The turn in sports which has had college football players going into the professional league and the wrestling trust, amateur ten his players going on to the pro- fessional circuit, professional box ing matches going to the bag and professional wrestling matches exploiting the hippodrome, is cer- tain to bring on reaction from the public and the press.

PASO ROBLES, Cal, April IT, Many of baseball's wise men have said that major league club today is nc stronger that it's reserve force
 The team of stars which lacks power in reserve soon will hit the skids when caught by accidents and injuries.
 The unusually fine crop Of re- cruts training with the Pittsburgh Pirates here, along with the re- liable reserve corps Of last season, is proving source O. qualification to Manager Jewel Ems.
 The entire baseball world watch ed the Pirates game fight last season in the face of injuries and accidents that took almost every first-stringer out of the lineup at enc time or another and more than once had as many as a half dozen regulars on the hospital list.
 The Pirates made themselves inn pcrtant factors in the pennan5 race almost wholly through the strength of their second string.
 AS the club goes to the post this year it again is well fortified Mo- solf and Mechanism seem certain Of utility jobs in the outfield. Both should be able to spring into the breach in case the Waners or C'cmorosky are forced to the bench.
 Mosolf also can play first base, as can Hal Finney, the young catcher. Bill Began probably will be the strong man of the infield, although Ems has half a dozen likely looking youngsters who also could be called upon.
 The catching staff and the corps of hurlers also will have under studies who are capable, willing and ready.
 Ems job of cutting the squad this year, therefore, is proving a

FORK TALKS

JIMMY FORK, the robust young first baseman of the As, is not talkative as ball players go, but Paul Holmes, of the Fort Myers Press, recently pinned Jimmy to a serious discussion of assorted top ics.
 He discovered, he wrote, that Foxx Hikes cigars, prefers to use an airplane to get quickly from one point to another but thinks going up in one just to ride is talk ing too much of a chance, doesn't like to speak especially well and balks at addressing a mixed group of high school students.
 He plays golf better than the average and possesses a terrific drive. He is 23 years old and has been in professional baseball since he was sixteen. He planned to enter college after his graduation from high school in 1924 but had an offer from Class D team near his home in Easton, Maryland, and after playing with this nine for awhile was bought by the Phila- delphia Athletics"

 Tt is clear that professional sport has already passed it's peak The big cleanings have been made The public mind is turning against it.
 There is only one way to sal vation among the pros and that way lies in the direction baseball has already taken by it's elevation of a czar to whom it has given limitless power and in whom the public has limitless confidence. The other sports must go that far, at least, or farther, for they are com ing from farther back"
