Johnny’s idea of a real merry Cbristmas is a small boy completely surrounded by pie. Christmas gifts sent to the Old World cost this year close to $10,- 000,000. How would you like to be the Old World? Something tells us that the legisla- ture will be just bone headed enough not to believe that Governor Eber- hart is a necessity in the United States senate chamber. A machine has just been invented which will pick cotton as readily as a harvester reaps wheat. The colored folks of the south are grining almost as unanimously as if a new water- melon had been invented. It is all very well for the census bureau to talk about the inereased value of Minnesota farms, but what we want to know is; how are the plum puddings coming along? That Progressive Republican call for a meeting in Minneapolis next month doesn’t appear to have stirred up a wave of popular approval. In fact it begins to look as if the Pro- gressives might have to call again. it o Minneapolis barbers are con- templating raising the price of a haircut from 35 cents to 50 cents. If they do this, the only way to beat them will be to marry a Minneapolis girl. She will jerk you bald headed. WE NEED IT. While in Washington on his re- cent inspection tour of the senate chamber, Governor Eberhart took time to say that he proposed to re- commend in his coming message to the legislature the creation of a state department of agriculture to be presided over by a commissioner of agriculture. 1€ will be quite generally~ conced- ed that the farming interests of Min. esota have not had all to which are entitled from the government of the commonwealth. Sharp and just criticism. has been hurled at the lax manner in’ which proper im- migration laws have been neglected; against the difficulty of " obtaining state land, against the lack of proper highways and many other disadvan- tages with which the farmer has been compelled to cope. The governor’s idea that some- thing should be done to further de- velop the state probably springs from the census bureau nightmare which shows a ioss in population in twenty-five of our southern counties during the past ten years. Says the governor: “There should be some effort to encourage the development of the state’s agricultural resources. “The Secretary of Agriculture has done a vast amount of good work in this direction—for instance with the corn-growing competition in the South—and I think this same idea can be introduced in Minnesota with equally beneficial results. There should be some well-organized bureau and a responsible head with whom the Governor can consult. This is what I want to get. Itis one of the objects of my visit to Washington.” WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY Hop to It. James J. Hill says tliere’s pros- perity ahead. Here’s hoping we catch up with it.—Moorhead Inde- pendent. This For you, Lillian. Lillian Russell says that when all women dress as well as she does there will be fewer divorces. Lillian is right—there can’t be divorces with- out marriages.—Bede’s Budget. Crippen Hanged; Gibbons Isn't. Dr. Crippen, was accused, convict- ed and executed for the murder of his wife last” summer, but Paddy Gibbons is still in jail at Hastings, waiting for the tardy process of the law, and he kilied his wife and the parish priest last May. Are our British cousins so slow?—St. Paul Times. Anyhow We Have No Hammer. The Bemidji Pioneer has seen fit to honor us with a half column call- ing us down anent our few words last week in regard to the Brainerd meeting of the development associ- ation. As nearly every line in the columns of that great newspaper gives evidence of servitude to the political intrigues for the money powers, its criticisms along that line will not have much weight.—St. Hilaire Spectator. Come Here and Avoid Blizzards. Fierce blizzards and delayed traffic are reported in Tennessee, Ohio and other states in the south and east, while in northern Minnesota there has been nothing approaching a bliz- zard and we have had ideal winter weather with just enough snow for sleigh‘ng. Observant people are finding out that the climate of this!: part of the Union is not what it has oft times been portrayed by misin- formed and prejudiced writers in the east. Come to northern Minnesota and live in the most enjoyable and healthful climate in the Union.— Middle River Pioneer. John G. Carlisle, Pauper. The sad fate of-John G. Carlisle filling a pauper’s grave is but another sharp warning to all “good fellows.” Seventeen years ago he was secre. tary of the treasury under President Cleveland; he had been speaker of the house and was a man of brilliant attainments. Of a warm hearted, genial nature he fell an easy prey to the convivial life .of Washington, Strong drink was his downfall. His travel down the broad and slippery path was a rapid one. When his re- mains were shipped to his former home in Kentucky the hat had to be passed to provide a decent burial, Boys, this is not only a sermon but a picture. Remember it.—Fairmont Sentinel. : How They Fight Fire In Turkey. This is the method of.fighting fire in Turkey. In the center of Constanti- nople a high ~watchtower. has beea erected. When thé man in the tower sees a blaze the alarm is sounded and the firemen are called to their posts. | If they have horses they proceed very leisurely te hitch them to the engines or carts and trot to the fire, but in most cases they have mo horses, and the men drag the engines through the streets at a walk. They do not hurry to attach the hose to the hydrant. The captain. first finds the owner of the building that is in danger of destruc- tion and finds out how much he will- .pay to have the fire put out. If the blaze is ‘beyond control the captain ap- proaches the owners of surrounding property and bargains with them for their protection, and of course they pay bim liberally.—New York Post. The Free Riders. “A good many people get on this earth who aren’t worth the roow they id the cynical sociologist. replied the eminent astrono- ‘mer. s 4 good thing for many of us that we are not obliged to get aboard this whirling planet on a pay as you enter basis.”—Washington Star, The Doctor’s Viewpoint.

The Analysus “Did you have the soil of your back yard analyzed by rthe agricultural de partment?” *Yes.
