BULK METHOD OF ROASTING COFFEE
 IS NOT EXACT
In Spite of Care It Is Difficult to Develop Uniform
 Flavor

It is virtually impossible to ac- curately roast coffee in bulk, be- cause there is no exact way to de- termine when all of the batch is "done." One roast may be 'high" and another '1ow," with the result that there is variation of flavor.
 Hills Bros. overcame this uncer- tainty, by inventing and perfecting a radically different process-Con- trolled Roasting. By automatic control, stream of coffee passes continuously through the roaster c feaO pounds at time. Positive control of the heat is maintained, with the result that every berry of the rare blend is roasted evenly to the degree that insures a rich, uniform, full bodied flavor in every pound.
 No other coffee tastes like Hills Bros. Coffee because no other coffee is roasted the same way. Controlled Roasting is Hills Bros process exclusively.
 Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros. Coffee in the vacuum can that keeps it ever-fresh. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is ex- tracted from the can and kept out. Coffee packed in ordinary cans, even if air-tight, does not stay fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trade mark-on the can.

Sparks from a burning-out chim- ney in the Carlson residence. just before noon yesterday, started a roof blaze which spread like prai- rle fire during the few minutes be- fore the fire department got there Although about half of the roof surface was afire, a chemical from the truck sufficed to extinguish the blaze. The damage i5 consid- cred nil as the roof was to be re- shingled anyway this summer.
 Jake Manning, from his lofty res idence on D Street, the highest one in town, was responsible for first notice, and the turning in of the alarm.

moving uncertainty from one Sldt of the road to the other. He stop ped and asked her if he could drive her into town. She got in ] without even answering. He turned to speak to her but he saw then that tears were running down her cheeks. So they drove to the city where she told him where she liv- ed. He left her at her door. She had even forgotten to thank him.
 If only she could hide some where, she thought, so that never again would she have to meet them 1 face to face. She could not unlock the door, her fingers fumbled so with the key.
 She began to cry weakly, and then someone had opened the door from the inside and Fergus stood there looking at her
 Whats the matter?"
 "Nothingl Nothing! What could be the matter?" she cried wildly
 But no, this was not the way. She must be quiet and calm. Fer gus took one of her hands. It was ice-cold. He led her into his office and shut the door.
 He brought her something to drink. She tried to drink it. But she could not swallow She put the glass down on his desk.
 Ut would be better if you would tell me, Nora. I may be able to help you"
 Fergus, don't make me-. she said piteously. I'm so horribly afraid"
 He was not looking at her. That was better. He sat in his chair tilted back, looking away from her to the window.
 If I could go away somewhere
 You can face it Nora You're brave" he said confidently.
 If I tell you, Fergus, you won't blame him-oh, Fergus, Julian's like a child who takes anything he wants and uses it"
 Little by little she told him the story. She sat waiting for his judgment. But none came. Ills dark head was bent. The tele- phone rang. It continued to ring and ring. After while it stop ped ringing. They still sat there.
 "I'll go to see him tonight" Fer gus said. "I'll tell him all you have told me. The show must be closed. I'll ask him to promise that the paintings shall Joe turned over to Jon Thayer. He can do as he chooses about it. I'm afraid your father will have to face it."
 He's never faced anything in his life. He's always ran away"
 That, too, can be managed"
 You are good, Fergus Frances used to tell me-but I never knew until now-you don't think Julian is wicked? He isn't-hes only
 ''Pitiful," Fergus said.
 For the first time tears rolled over her cheeks.
 I'm sorry, Nora"
 Don't be sorry for me I can bear it. It doesn't matter to me.

 BACK TO AUNT EM'S
 Nora swayed slightly at Damon's accusing words, but she rose with a savage will, clutching at the chair back. The walls of tn e Thayer home were rising and flow ing toward her like mighty wave that crashed on her to suck her under in the crawling undertow.
 When she looked up she saw Jon was in the room, looking from her to Damon. Damon was speaking with a voice like splintered glass. '"The pictures on exhibition were not painted by Julian Lake. Nicho- las painted them. And she admits it."
 "Nora?" Jon cried.
 His eyes judged her without pity. "You urged me all along not to let your father have the show. You knew then . . .''
 T didn't know How could I know?"
 Then why did you beg me not to have the pictures exhibited?" T was ashamed My fathers pie lures were so-bad
 You see she must have known all the time" Damon said in low voice.
 God" Jon salo as though to him. self, q couldn't have believed it." She looked at him, imploring him Tor understanding. But he would not look at her. Nothing she could say would make them believe. She stood beside her father in the .anks of thieves; thieves wh o 'obbed the dead.
 She saw Jon fling out of the 'oom. Damon sat very still, look ng down at her hands.
 T must go.'
 She must have said it; but her voice sounded very far away as though it belonged to someone else. It must be her body that was walk ing with such stiff uncertain steps put of the room. It must be she who had made her way to the lighroad and began to walk, not where she was going. A man in an old car saw her

 gus. He wanted all this for us. For Fran and Aunt Elm, for me. He was going to make us happy. He had such plans"
 You're going up to bed now, Nora. I'll give you something to make you sleep. You don't want to see your aunt now?"
 She only shook her head. He left her at the head of the stairs with two white tablets. She caught his hand and laid it against her cheek.
 T hope you'll be happy-you and Fran" she choked.
 Then without knowing what she did she tore off her clothes and got into bed. After a night of misery she got up and went down. stairs. She could barely meet Hal lies eyes, but Hallie began to talk rapidly and nervously about a story she was writing. The children were subdued. A cloud seemed to hang over the house. Nora went to the office as usual; but MT. Dusen- bury after one look at her fac. did not say anything about her ab sence of the day before. Every one was solicitous and remarked that she looked ill.
 T see your father has an exhibi- ton of paintings in the city," Miss Brown, the bookkeeper said, but Nora turned away so abruptly the kind little woman was hurt.
 Somehow she got through the day and when she came down the wooden steps that evening she saw Fergus himself standing waiting for her. Yes, he had seen her fa- ther. The show would be closed. But Fergus seemed to have little else to say.
 What is he going to do?" Nora gasped.
 Hes going away. He says he'll let you know later.
 Oh, Fergus! Fergus!"
 They were in the car now. Fer gus brought out something and gave it to her. It. was 8 check. Nora sat looking helplessly down at this money that would mean sal vation for all of them.
 Fergus, would you take me out to-Jon's now-Id like to give them this money. Then shall see what they want me to do."
 Mora, you're little brick!" he said.
 Her eyes looked at him with de- spair.
 If you only knew-I'm not. I'd rather die than face Damon. She seems to hate me. And they believe that I-that I knew it all the time. You know I wouldn't do a thing like that, don't you?"
 He caught her hand and gripped it hard.
 Its better to get it over at once. I'll drive you out there now, if you say.
 Nora say they were going along the river road She asked him, Do Hallie and Aunt Elm know?"
 T told them"
 T suppose they think I knew"
 They believe utterly in you"
 Nora's eyes burned; she put her cold hands against her cheeks.
 "I must be brave" she told her. self over and over.
 Fergus left her at the door of the Thayer house.

JUSTICE HOLMES AT 90

One of the most remarkable of living
men is Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the
United States Supreme Court, 80 years old
on March 8. In spite of his age, he is one of
the most alert members of that tribunal,
both mentally and physically, and has no
thought of retiring
Justice Holmes is the son of the late DR..
Oliver Wendell Homes, famous poet and es-
sayist, and was born in Boston. After being
graduated from Harvard in 1861 he served
in the goth Massachusetts Volunteers dur
ing the Civil War, being wounded three times
and rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
After the war he finished his law studies
and began practice in Boston. He was also
associate instructor in constitutional law at
Harvard, editor of the American Law Review,
associate and chief justice of the Massachu-
sets Supreme Court, besides being active as
lecturer and author
He was appointed associate justice of
the United States Supreme Court in 1902,
since which time he has served continuously
with high distinction. No other member of
the court ever served to so great an age, and
the indications are that he has several more
years of distinguished usefulness before him.

Creameries in Rice County Get
Together

To provide a means of getting
better acquainted and of acting to-
gether on common problems, nine
cooperative creameries in Rice
county have taken steps to form an
association, according to Harry A.
Hass, county agent. Delegates
from creameries have drawn up
constitution and bylaws. The or
ganization is to be controlled by
board of directors, one from. each
creamery, to be elected at it's annual
meeting. The board is to meet in
March to elect officers and start
action on pressing problems.
According to Mr.. Hass, some of
the problems pending action by
the new association will be cream
cry improvement problems; the
use of marketing specialists of the
Agricultural Extension efficiency;
the statewide COW testing system
for creamery patrons; the dairy
herd improvement association and
the creameries, and the production
of quality cream.
Dairy specialists at University
Farm regard the organization of
this association as a much-needed
step, and predict that cooperative
creameries in other counties will
follow suit.

REINFORCEMENT CAUSING
TROUBLE

The Minnesota Legislature is having
considerable trouble on deciding the manner
in which the State will be redistricted for
Congressional purposes in accordance with
the result of the 1880 Federal census.
Minnesota loses one Congressman under
the new arrangement because the population
increase of the State was not in proportion
to some of the others. The membership in
the House will not be increased. California
will have a number of additional members as
will New York, and one or two other states
Each one of the 10 Minnesota Congress-
men has his friends in the legislature look
ing after his interest. The job is not an
easy one for the legislature to decide.
There is some talk of postponing the
reapportionment for another Legislature,
electing all congressman in 1882 at large.
The rural districts would decidedly lose
by such an arrangement for one election
With the multiplicity of voters in the large
centers of population it is very probable
that Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth would
cop at least seven of the nine Congressman
if they were elected at large.
Selfishness of individual Congressman
may balk reapportionment at the expense of
entire Rural Minnesota.

NOT INVESTIGATED

With all it's zeal for investigation, it ap-
pears that the United States Senate has been
satisfied to drop proposed inquiry into the
activities of George L. Cassiday, self-con-
fessed official bootlegger to members of
Congress, known as "the man in the green
hat"
When arrested last year for selling IL
quor to the solons on capitol hill, Cassiday
made some startling revelations. He admit
ted that he had been plying his trade among
members of Congress for ten years, and es-
timated that "four out of five Senators and
Congressman consume liquors either at their
offices or homes.'
He said he had made an average of 20
to rs deliveries of whisky to these distin-
gulshed customers daily, one day reaching
record of At sales. He added that 81 have
sat in the gallery and heard one of my GUS
toners deliver a rafting good prohibi-
ton speech"
When arrested, Cassiday's 'little black
book containing list of his Congressional
customers was seized. One Senator threat
ened to ask for an investigation to expose
the names on this list, but he apparently
found it convenient to forget it. Another
famous investigating Senator made similar
threat, but nothing further happened.
Whether Cassiday's statements are true
or not has never been established, but the
fact that the investigators have failed to
press matters would justify the belief that
they knew stick of political dynamite when
they saw it.
