LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

Within short time it is likely that the Library
of Congress in Washington will become the greatest
in the world, if it is not already. In the number
of printed books it is surpassed by the Public Lii
brary in Leningrad Russia, but it has many more
treasures in the of MAPS charts, music and pic
lures of every description.
The Library of Congress established in
1900 but destroyed when the British burned the
capitol in 1914. It stared again by the purchase
by Congress of ex-President Thomas Jeffersons pr-
vate library of 6760 volumes for $23950
Additions made from time to time, but an
other fire in 1851 destroyed about $4,000 volumes
This loss partly repenished through purchase
and donations until the library now has more than
4,477,000 volumes, more than million maps, charts
and views, than a million pieces of music
and half million photographs prints, engravings
and Autographs
The growth of the library has been greatly has
tened by the operation of the law which requires
copies of all copyrighted books and other material
to be deposited there
Priceless treasures in the way of rare books and
manuscripts gathered from all parts of the world
included in the collection, housed in the largest
and most magnificent library building in the world
with floor space of more than IA acres In it are
kept the originals of the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution of the United States, with thous
ands of other historical documents

State to Oil 866
Miles of Highway
Reduced Revenue of Development
Will Curtail Usual Activity
Federal Aid May Help

Oiling S66 miles of bituminous
surfaced state highways will begin
shortly after June Is, according to
an announcement by N. w. Elsberg,
Minnesota Highway Commissioner.
"Only work which is essential to
maintenance of present road sur
faces is included in this program"
Mr.. Elesberg said. "The cost will
be about 100000. Ordinarily about
81, 100000 would be spent on re-
treatments at this season, but we
are holding down expenditures to a
minimum.
Later, if it develops that addi-
tional oiling must be done to pre-
vent deterioration of any bitumin-
GUS road, the necessary work will
be authorized, for we intend to pro-
tect the states investment in it's
trunk system first of all.
Should Federal aid be made
available to the Highway depart
ment, as we hope, then there will
be an expansion of activities in pro-
portion to the amount of money to
be spent. We hope that Federal aid
will permit the state to take over
the $500 miles of new routes au-
thorized by the Legislature"
About 3,433,000 gallons Of road
oil will be required to treat the
sections included in the present
program. Bids for supplying the oil
and applying it on the roads are
now being advertised for, and con-
tracts will be let in the middle Of
June. Work will start Immediately
after the lettings.
The work includes projects in all
sections of the state. Minnesota
has more than 2,450 miles of bitum-
inous surfaced roads in it's trunk
system.
Highway % will be oiled between
Westport and Starbuck. Present
plans do not contemplate oiling be-
tween Sank Centre and Swanville.

USING NEWSPAPERS

How to reach large number of customers or
prospective customers most economically and effec-
lively is problem which still worries great many
business men, But it was really solved long ago. and
the is this: Print your message in the news
papers
100000 customers in nearly 200 cities and
smaller communities wanted to send them a series
of letters. After considering various methods of
distributing these messages it was decided to use
local newspapers exclusively. The first letter sent
out signed by the president of the company, began
as follows:
1--WE have a lot of things to tell you which are of
interest because you customers. We might
get your attention by circulars delivered at your
door, by radio broadcast. But think the best
way to reach you is by successive letters in the
newspapers of which this is the first"
In certain special cases the of circulars or
the radio may be fairly effective, but for definite
results economically obtained advertising medium
ever devised approaches the family newspaper.

Prominent Farmer
of Elrosa Called
Funeral of Peter Heinen Was Held
Saturday-Was Fifty-Five

The sudden death of Peter Helm

THE BENEFICENT MORGAN

The Herald wishes to congratulate the United
States Senate committee upon the Thorough invest
cation they attempting to make of the activities
of the private banking house of J. p. Morgan.
To date the published reports of the hearings
have been fair, hampered at every turn by Senator
Carter Glass, who appears to be special emissarg
of the Morgan crowd, although member of the
committee.
The hearing has only fairly begun. 1t has de-
veloped that the Morgan group contributed with
equal Iberality and abandon to both the Republican
and Democratic campaigns. 1t has developed that
William Woodin, Mr. Roosevelts secretary of the
treasury is closely affiliated with the House of Nor
gan, and that he has been the beneficiary of friendly
requests in the past; it has also developed that Am
bassador Davis to the Court of ST. James, London is
close affiliate and beneficiary of the House Of
Morgan. Mr.. Davis is appointee of President
Roosevelt.
In all fairness to the country President Roose-
welt should at once demand the retirement of Wood
in and Davis from their governmental positions. AS
times goes there will be others brought to light
in both the republican and Democratic ranks.
The cloven hoof knows party lines.
The investigation must proceed to the end. The
Morgan groups control % per cent of all the public
utilities of the country They in every other line
of mercantile manufacturing industry where there
is any money to be made.
The government of this country must be return
ed to the people. If there is semblance of white
washing of the Morgan crowd the public will resent
it in uncertain terms. This cleanup is entirely
in the hands of President Roosevelt and his Demo-
cratic colleagues. The continued popularity of the
present administration will rest largely upon the
success or failure of this investigation.

State Med. Board Against
Promiscuous Use of Pills
Food and Drugs Act Cannot Pro-
tect Patent Remedy User From
Paying Exhorbitant Prices

st. Paul, May 29-Millions of dol
lars are spent every year for pat
ent medicines in bottles with ar
enticing label, or in pill boxes with
promise of, cure. Practically all
of this money is thrown away and
could be put to more useful work
in meeting the family budget.
The declaration is made today by
the Public Health Education Com
mittee of the Minnesota State Med
,ical Association, that more than
fifteen million dollars are wasted,
according to careful statistical stu
dies, on medicines that are either
useless or actually harmful
Most of these remedies now
come within the letter of the law
as laid down in the Pure Food and
Drug Act of 1906" the doctors say
in this bulletin. "They are not &C
tually adulterated in the sense of
containing ingredients that depart
greatly from the formula printed
as required by the law on the label.
"The federal law is effective as
far as it goes and it is vigorously
enforced by the food and drugs adj
ministration But the law cannot
protect the patent medicine user
from being roundly cheated nearly
every time he puts down his 60
cents to two dollars for a bottle of
medicine to cure a disease, the ma
ture Of which he does not know.
Whatever his ailment, the label on
the bottle says it will cure him.
Nine times out of ten, the bottle
contains some well known house
hold remedy such as bicarbonate Of
soda, if a stomach medicine, which
he could buy for one-tenth of the
amount at the same store.
That is the case, the bulletin
points out If the customer is
lucky then he will merely pay an
exorbitant price for a bottle of
medicine. If he is not so lucky, the
bottle may contain small amounts
of drugs such as strychnine or bel
ladonna that may prove actually
harmful. Instances of deaths from
over dosage of these dangerous
drugs in patent medicines are COM
mon. Even the popular cathartics,
marked safe, are far from safe, es-
pecially if they fall into the hands
of child who is attracted by the
sugar coating Law enforcement
officers cannot follow the medicines
into the home and superintend the
dosage.
''This is only one phase of the
patent remedy evil" the doctors
conclude. 'Lured by advertising,
the unfortunate victim of cancer,
for instance, often wastes precious
time experimenting with a stom-
ach medicine. When he finally
does go to see doctor, it is toC
late to help him. The home medi-
cine cabinet needs very little be-
side a good antiseptic such as 10
dine for use in minor cuts and in
juries. Both your money and health
are safeguarded if qualified ply
stefan is asked to help in case of
illness.

State to Have Display
At Century of Progress
Exhibit Will Typify the Resources,
Advantages of Minnesota
Ready for Opening

The Minnesota exhibit will be "all
set" when the Century of Progress
Exposition opens in Chicago, F. w.
Murphy, of Wheaton, chairman of
the Minnesota Century of Progress
commission, announced this week.
1--WE will be all ready for our Wis
itors on May 81 the new opening
date, set in advance of the June 1st
schedule because of the expected
presence of President Roosevelt"
Mr.. Murphy said. "Our indoor ex-
hibit was prepared in Minnesota,
knocked down, put into two big
freight cars, and re-assembled in
our space in the Court of States at
Chicago. A dozen workmen have
been busy setting it up since May
1. Our outdoor exhibit was pre-
pared for the most part in Mime
sofa by the state forestry depart
ment in cooperation with the state
nurserymen's association, but much
of this work had to be done on
the grounds at Chicago. AS early
as May LIST two forestry department
men got started preparing the out
door space. A tremendous amount
of work had to be done here be-
cause of the condition of the
ground"
The Minnesota space is at the
apex of the triangular Court of
States building. The building is on
Northerly island which at the site
Of the Court of State juts into Lake
Michigan in way that makes the
apex of the building close to the
water on the point and the two
sides.
1--WE think the Court of States is
the best architectural layout in the
grounds" said Mr.. Murphy, "and
that Minnesota has the best posi-
ton in the Court of States. Not
only is it prominent but with the
lake close to us on each side, our
space should be cool most Of the
time.
1--WE are making preparations for
a great number of visitors. We f.
CURE that a minimum Of 100000
persons will visit our space and
look over the Minnesota exhibit.
There were 2s,OOO,OOO paid admis-
sions to the Worlds Fair of 1893,
and even if this exposition should
not exceed that attendance, we
should get at least 100000 persons
through our space. But reckoned
at 100000, this means $4,000 per-
sons a day.
I'm order that Minnesota can cap
italize on tourist, land and indus
trial prospects from these visitors,
we will endeavor to get the names
of as many visitors as possible, and
