We earnestly hope that that the proposition to furnish free grass seed to the burned district of Northern Minnesota will be put into effect this coming spring. The victims of the forest fires have suffered disasterous lf)sses through no fault of their own, but rather through fires originating probably on unpatrolled state land, or upon land owned by large lumber corporations—cut over land. The state is responsible for allowing the condition of affairs to exist, which would imperil the property and lives of its settlers, and against which these individual settlers have no The State is obliged, therefore, in a moral power to protect themselves. sense, to help them in their distress. -Northwestern Agriculturalist. One Way to Look at it. Mayor Haynes of Minneapolis in his inaugural address before the council of that city recommended ex- tension of the closing law of the sa- loons from 11 o’clock to midnight in the cities of the first class. In view of the strong “back to the farm” movement, the mayor presumably must make home more attractive to Minneapolitans.—Little Falls Tran- seript. Somewhat Sarcastic. A farmer told his 12-year old son to milk the cows, feed the horses, slop the pigs, hunt the eggs, feed the calves, catch the coit and put him in the stable, cut up some wood, stir the cream, split up the kindling wood, pump fresh water on the creamery after supper and besure and study his lesson before going to bed. Then he went off to a meeting of the farmer’s club to discuss the question “How to keep the boys on the farm.” —International Falls Press. Beware the Lost Letter: Should you pick up a letter on the street addressed to’ some unknown individual—burn it. Or better yet, hand it over to the postoffice -author- ities: A fake is going the rounds and this is it. =~ The letter contains inside information of ore lands that there are millions in it—to the fakirs if you bite: It is a scheme to seper- ate the unwary from their coin and to.get red automobiles for the other fellows. Do not be fooled by any such game. It is a gold-brick scheme of a man that wants something for nothing—swat him.—Bovey News. Iron Montevideo English.

He Found His Man. Englishmen are rather fond of pok- ing fun at those parts of Great Britain ‘where other than the Anglo-Saxon ele- ment is dominant, and a favorite sub- jet for jest is the prevalence of the Jones family in Wales. One of the colleges of Oxford univer- sity was much resorted to by Welsh- men. A man from another college looking for a friend went into its quad- rangle and shouted, “Jones!” All the windows looking on the quad rangle fiew open. “I mean John Jones,” searcher. Half the windows closed. “I mean the John Jones who has 8 toothbrush,” he explained. All the windows closed but one— Topeka State Journal. said the A Stitch of Pain. A stitch Is a sharp, spasmodic pain in the muscles of the side like the plercing of a needle and is very apt to be produced if exercise is taken im- mediately after a hearty meal. This arises because the nervous energy nec- essary for the proper working of the muscles in exercise is engaged in an- other direction—namely, in assisting the digestion of the food. Anything that interferes with the proper supply of nervous energy required for exer- cise, whether it be debility or the proc- ess of digestion or exhaustion arising | from overexertion, is apt to cause this spasmodic pain.

In a certain southern city the col- ored servants, as a rule, go to their own homes at night. The cook in the family of a clergyman not only does this, but of late has arrived at the rectory too late to cook breakfast. Hence her mistress lately told ber that for each breakfast missed there would be a reduction in her weekly wages. Dinah passively assented to this, but next day the mistress heard the maid next door say to her: ‘“’Pears to me you get to work mighty late.” “I gets to work when I gets ready,” was the reply. “How does you manage about de brekfus?” “Oh, I pays de missus to cook de brekfus.’ "—Housekeeper.

ALDRICH PLAN 8: IS MADE PUBLIC Senator Would: Revise Qur Monetary System. CENTRAL BANK NOT ASKED Resorve Association Composed of Na- tional Banks the Principal Feature of the Proposed System—Country to Be: Divided Into Fifteen Districts, With a Branch of the Association in Each District. Washington, Jan.. 18.—Senator Nel- son W. Aldrich’s long awaited “plan for the revision of the national bank- ing legislation,” as he himself calls it, has been made public. It does not contemplate the establishment of a central bank. It is so far from what most people have expected Mr. Al- drich to propose that to those who have not been In his confidence it may come as a notable surprise. The plan was submitted to the na- tional monetary commission at a meet- ing called for the purpose, but Sen- ator Aldrich was not present. There was a suggestion almost of the tragic in the fact that when the hour came for the formal promulgation of what Senator Aldrich is known to regard as the crowning constructive effort of his life he was hundreds of miles away, speeding to the South on a compul- sory search for health. His communi- cation was presented to the commis- sion by the vice chairman, Represen- tative Vreeland of New York. Far from recommending the insti- tution of a central bank Mr. Aldrich | expressly disclaims belief in it. | “While: we have found much that is admirable in the government banks of Burope none of them is applicable to our needs. Good results can, I be- | lieve, be reached without a central | bank.” What Mf. Aldrich does. propose is | the establishment of the “Reserve As- sociation of America,” a federation of local associations, formed by national banks. Aldrich Plan in Brief. Under Senator Aldrich’s plan the country would be divided into fifteen districts, with a branch in each dis- trict, each branch to be made up of local associations There would be forty-five directors in the reserve as- sociation, three for each branch, with six ex-officio directors, the secretary of the treasury, the comptroller of the currency, the secretary of commerce and labor and the governor and two deputy governors of the association. The reserve association would be the principal fiscal agent and deposi- tary of the government, would fix rates of discount and eventually its notes would replace those of national banks; which would gradually sbe re- tired and not be reissued. In addition to rights now enjoyed national banks would be authorized to accept commercial paper having not more than ninety days to runm, to the extent of one-half the capital and sur- plus of the banks. Two new classes of national banks are provided for, one to have savings departments and make loans on real estate and another to exercise the functions of trust companies. Currency emergencies would be met by a system of mutual support, in which all members of the association ‘would participate. Reserve Fund for Earnings. .National banks having a minimum capital of $25,000 may subscribe to stock in the reserve assaciation to the amount of 25 per cent of its own stock. Earnings of the association are to go into a reserve fund and to be divided between the members and the government in designated propor- tions. In addition to authority to issue notes to replace those of national banks the reserve association would have authority to issue 2dditional cir- culating notes and the whole or any part of the first $100,000,000 of such additional notes would pay a tax of 3 per cent to the government above $100,000,000 and not more than $200,- 000,000 could be issued at an annual tax of 4 per cent, and above $200,000, 000 and not more than $300,000,000, at a tax of 5 per cent, and all above $300,000,000 would pay a tax of 6 per cent. All note issues of the association must be covered to the extent of at least one-third by gold or other, lawful money- and the remainder by United States bonds or bankable commercial paper. The capital stock of the association would be. $300,000,000 and the asso- clation and its branches exempt from taxation except upon real estate. The House Arsenal. Tubbs: Bilious Man’s Friend.

The English administration at Gibral- tar, where water is very scarce, col- lects dew by the following very sim- ple method: A large pit is dug in the earth and covered with dry wood or straw, which in turn is covered either with earth or with sheet iron. The straw: or wood serves as a heat in- sulator and effectually prevents the conduction of heat from the ground to. the layer of earth or the sheet iron Consequently this earth or iron cools after sunset much more rap- idly than the ground, so that its tem- perature soon falls below the dew point of the surrounding air; hence dew is formed upon the iron or the layer of earth in very large quantities. The: water thus obtained is drained off into reservoirs and after clarification is used for drinking.—Scientific Amer- {ean: He Was In “What did you do “Most of the time of a squad ‘of men.” “On special duty?” “No; they were taking me to the guardhouse.”"—Cleveland Leader.
