He cited creameries as good country builders and said that the one at Menahga was paying'between $10,000 and $12,000 a year to the farmers. Mr. Maxfield urged the farmers to get live stock as soon as possible as| the market was always ready. D. Theriault, of Akeley, told of clearing a farm of big Norway and white pine stumps and the part the sheep played in tis:development. Mr. Theriault said that at $5 a head, fifty ewes and a ram were the proper num- ber to start on an eighty. Thomas Keefe, of Bagley, talked for twenty minutes on his experiences with sheep. He told the farmers that he found April to be the best month for lambing ,that the sheep did not need warm shelter in winter and that many of his did not enter the barn this winter at all, and that he disposed of the old ewes by selling the pelt and feeding the carcas to the hogs. Al Waiger, banks by saying tnat they were al- ways ready to loan money at costs for such development enterprises as creameries. Mr. Chamberlain had previously stated that money ‘was cheaper in the east and that it could be brought into this country if the proper steps were taken. Mr. Kaiser made the paint that money cost the banks seven percent and when loaned at that was given at cost. He suggest- ed that the railroads bring in develop- ing machinery, etc., at cost. ‘William Magivny of South St. Paul, assured the farmers that there was always a ready market for their live- stock. He said that the stock yards had paid out $25,000,000 last year to Minnesota farmers and that it of Bagley, defended the; good roads convention of Koochiching county, returned converts to the cause. The need of roads is not dis- puted. The means of securing them, however is the problem the legisla- tors have to solve. KRR KKK KK KKK KKK * ST.

Speaker Rines, as the result of an error by the chief clerk, caused ‘temporary joy among the advocates of the amendment and an equal amount of disappointment: among the opponents, when he * reversed the figures and said the amendment had caried. There was a shout from the sup- porters when the announcement was made, but they were much em- barrassed when the mistake was cor-l rected. The resultant shouts and noise from the opponents of the amendments made it necesary to call a recess. It is not unlikely that the same fight will be made for the amendment in the senate which was made in the house. Should the amendment be passed by the senate, it is predicted by many that the house would re- verse its action of Thursday and adopt the amendment. The house grain probe committee ! did not meet yestercay on account of the illness of the chairman, C. M. Bendixen. It is quite possible that the probe will be given an impetus by the charge made yesterday by Sen. S. D. Works, who alleged that the committee was not accomplishing its | burpose, and offered a resolution to have a senate committee appointed to take up the work. The Works reso- lution will come up today. The delegation of three represen- tatives and three senators, who went to International Falls to attend the Brinkman Theatre finement.

Elizabeth’s fa- ther, bluff King Hal, was the first English .monarch to wear any sort of neckband. That was very plain, about an.inch in depth, and made of ‘lace. Yet only 50 years later an | author of the times—Henry Peacham —writes: “He is not a gentleman, nor In the fashion, whose band of Italian Work standeth him not at least £2 to £5. Yet, a seamstress in Holburn told me that there are some of three- score a pound apiece!” Fancy pay- ing such a sum as £720 a dozen for one’s collars! The origin of the pres- ent starched collar was the ruff. In the year 1564 Queen Elizabeth first used a coach. Her coachman came from Holland. | He was a man named Boeman and his wife brought with her from that country the art of clear starching. Soon afterward a certain Mme. Dinghen came from the Neth- erlands and started a laundry with: clear starching in London. A very good thing she made of it, for the daughters of worthy citizens crowded to her to learn the art. As soon as starching became common starched ruffs took the place of the thin band of lace, BOTH. SATISFIED TO PART Neither Man Nor Lizard Desired to-Be Permanently Attached to | Each Other. !

Lady Helmsley was a witness in an interesting case heard at York, in which & negro lion tamer named Al- bert Maccomo was sumoned for cru- elly terrifying a lioness, and Albert Manders, menagerie proprietor, of Old- ham, was summoned for permitting the animal to be terrified, 'says the London Pall Mall Gazette. Manders was -at the York Martin- mas fai, in November, and Lady Helmsley was told by one of the at- tendants that the lioness had already caused the death of one man and at- tacked two others, and that Maccomo would at' the penod of his life ‘enter the cage. Lady Helmsley described how the i animal was frightened by noises and by the insertion into the cage of red- hot bars.
