District Judge Mark Nolan last week
rendered a decision that real estate
men cannot practice law" by charging
fees to fill out legal papers, including
wills, which cut into the business of
the legal fraternity. The decision cuts
into the business of the real estate
sellers. The Eighth district bar as
ISOLATION brought the matter to court
through its president. We remember
years ago when attorneys were on the
verge of starvation in the range towns
and the larger part of the legal bust
ness was done by notary publics who
had invested few dollars for COM
mission and seal. At that time no
tary public was some ''punkins" among
certain ones who figured a title or
brass buttons was equivalent to an
education and diploma. These no
taries, in many cases, got rich with
their ambulance chasing" settling with
the mining companies for deaths and
injuries. The settlements were based
on 80 and 10 per cent, ninety for the
notary public, and 10 for the relatives

Science has been injected into plain,
ordinary fishing and barometer glass
has been made to tell you when the
fish will or will not strike. Togo Erlck-
son at Brainerd makes an observation
in regard to the subject in which he
states that old time fishermen always
carried a bottle and never a glass
When the catch was good, they cele-
brated and when there were no fish
they drowned their sorrow. They spit
on the bait, in these days considered
very unSanitary and inelegeant. How
ever, with home made pole and line
and without barometer, the old timer
usually came home with a string Of
clubs, perch or suckers.

Would it be desirable to plant deep
rooted legumes like alfalfa and sweet
clover in bearing orchard?

would IL be desirable TO plant deep
rooted legumes like alfalfa and sweet
clover in a bearing orchard?
No, this is not advisable, because
these crops compete too severely with
the trees for nitrogen and moisture at
the time when the trees need them
most. Likewise alfalfa and sweet clover
may harbor insect pests that cause
damage to young apple trees. 1t would
be very desirable to plant an orchard
on land that previously grew one of
these crops, however, for they loosen
the soil and add organic matter to a
considerable depth, thus making tree
growth easier-J. D. Winter, division
of horticulture.
Can peanuts be grown satisfactorily
in Minnesota?
Peanuts are not a commercial crop
in Minnesota but can be raised as a
novelty in the home garden. 1t is
usually best to start them inside in
flats or pots about to 6 weeks before
the last spring frost and then trans
plant them to the garden after frost
danger is over-A E. Hutchins, division
of horticulture.
Is there any way to remove the
marks made by composition heels
without refinishing the floors?
Yes. The marks can be removed
with kerosene.-Mary May Miller, home
management specialist.
Is it true that grass eating animals
do not have cancer? If so, why
wouldn't some kind of grass-contain-
ing diet for humans be worth trying?
Although not exceedingly common
cancer occurs sometimes in grass-eating
animals like sheep and cattle. We
know that grass does play a very i'm
portant part in the diets of livestock
however. For accurate information on
the number of cattle having cancer
write to the Chief of the Bureau of
| Animal Industry, Washington, D. c.

What varieties of Strawberries are

that can make 1910 a banner year in

Communist martyrs don't "click' only
for a short time. The New Ulm Daily
Journal calls attention to Tom Mooney,
who was the striking example of a

Several years ago The Miner adj
vocated the requirement by the city
of the Crossman Point property on
Shagawa lake for park purposes. At
a recent meeting of the City Council,
City Attorney Carey was instructed to
contact the attorneys for the Des-
jardins estate and get a price and
terms of purchase for the property.
The tract of land Familiarity known as
Crossman's Point contains 35 acres of
most desirable park property in this
vicinity. It encompasses two excellent
bathing beaches, high rocky and low
ground, a fine stand of timber and
most desirable tourist camp sites besides
being in close proximity to the water
and electric light plant. If anyone
knows of a more desirable site for
city park, close to the city, with abund-
ant shore line and all other desirable
attributes, we would be pleased to hear
of it.

Gesture of Dignity

Downing of black satin robes by
justices Of the North Carolina SUI
preme Court will not equip them
with more knowledge Of the law they
ale supposed to interpret, but Al &C.
add dignity to their station III the
State government There is fully as
much justification for roblng o..
Judges in this high tribunal as those
who sit on the United States ST.
preme Court. And we would be
willing to wager that some Of our
own have forgotten more law than
one or two in the nations temple OF
Justice. in Washington have ever
known or probably will ever know.
In North Carolina the three horses
drawing the chariot Of democracy
have always, as far as our knowledge
goes, pulled together in harmony
and with SinglenesS of purpose. At
least the Supreme Court has not
been accused of being mare that
has tried to kick over the traces.
We cannot see that robes make
lot of difference one way or the 9TH
er. other than that the practice is
gesture of dignity. Until they get
used to them. however, we can mag
inc the black gowns might make the
irrists triflc ,elf-conscious. But
we trust the practice will not spread
10 the superior courts nor to the
mayors and recorders.
