One potent factor in the high cost of living was solved by the seizure of a wagon load of false weights and measures in New York city. In these days of wireless telegraph systems and wireless telephones, horseless carriages and noiseless guns why not insert an ‘“airless” air ship? Battling Nelson is not so slow. He received $13,000 as his percent- age of the receipts of the prize fight, while Wolgast only got $3,700. This is a case where the last arrived first. Tillman was raised on a farm, and inherited vitality, and now he is pro- nounced out of danger. But if he had known all the health rules in the world he might have been dead before now. It is apparent that Mr. Rood of the Sentinel still judges others by himself. No intention to cause friction, Mr. Rood. It is also apparent that the Senti- nel did not purposely refrain from making any mention of Tag-Day; guess it must have been ignorance. Tt costs as much to put holes through a sea target as to sink a twenty-thousahd ton battleship, but it is a necessary part of naval drill in the piping times of peace. Henry Reuterdahl, whose pictures of naval scenes are celebrated, and who went round the world with the fleet, con- tributes to one of the April issues of The Youth’s Companion a graphic article on “Naval Target Practise.” According to the Government statistics just issued, during 1909 there were 59,926 homeseekers moved into Canada from the United States and during the same period 53,448 came over the border into the United States from Canada in search of homes. What is the most striking of all is that of - this number 24,118 were native Canad- ians who came to the states in search of homes, The states who have lost the most of their citizens to Canada the past three years are N. Dak. 29,303, Minnesota 22,792, Illinois 8,123 and the balance divided among the people want, why do more farmers %o to Canada from N. Dak. than from any other state? If mixed lands, part prairie and part timber, why do they leave the good State of Minnesota? No, it is not that Canada offers any advantages over the land in either Minnesota or Dakota. Itis the extensive campaign of advertis- ing that has been carried on for the past few years by. the different railroads running into Canada, and that is what Northern Minnesota must insist on and receive before her fertile acres will pass into the hands of actual settlers. WANT WATERWAYS IMPROVED. If any person has doubt about the interest which the central west has in waterway improvements let him look over the official figures. It has been stated that the twelve states of Ohio, Indiana, Ilhnois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota. North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri con- tain more than half the farm prop- erty value of the United States. They have about one-fourth of the total area of the country and one- third of its population. In agricul- ture they are as important as all the rest of the country combined. In 1908 these twelve states raised 459,521,000 bushels of wheat, or 69 per cent of the total yield; 1,644, 649,000 bushels of corn, or 61.6 per cent of the entire crop; 608,237,000 bushels of oats, or 75.5 per cent of the whole, and 144,289,000 bushels of rye and barley, or 72.6 per cent of the total crop. Their production of butter, cheese, potatoes, hay, etc., is about one-half that of the whole country. They raise practically all the flax, and aggregate of their farm products is not far from half that of the United States. Not all the commerce of the inter- ior seeks a southern seaport. Half of Ohio, much of Michigan and parts of Wisconsin and the northwest are more directly tributhry to the great lakes. But this subtraction will be more than made good by river busi- ness originating in states south of the twelve named. The cotton crop is to the south what the grain crop is to the north. In 1908 the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma produced 8,016,914 bales. bushels of wheat in 1908. Nearly all this product is exported, and this Oklahoma alone grew 15,625,000 : adds more tonnage to the lower basin that is diverted to the lakes in the upper. With all this stuff to send to market, is it any wonder the Missis- sippi valley wants cheaper transpor- tation? —_— Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets assist nature in driv- ing all impurities out of the system, insuring a free and regular condi- tion and restoring the organs of the body to health and strength.

St. Paul, April 16.—The state su- preme court, in a decision written by Justice Lewis, holds that the Sperry & Hutchinson Trading Stamp com- pany has the right to conduct busi- ness in Minnesota. The opinion says that the issue and redemption of trading stamps, as car- ried on by this company, is not at- tended by sufficient elements of chance or uncertainty to justify the restrictions of the Minnesota act. The case was brought in the su- preme court on a writ of quo warran- to, the company demurring, pleading that the trading stamp act is in viola- tion of the state constitution and of the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution.
