It certaintly has.” Then why is it proposed to abolish it? The plans of the. efficiency* commission indicate a department of public wel- fare under a single executive in place of the board of three members. The question is referred to John A. Har- tigan of St. Paul, chairman of the standing committee in the efllciency commission that has been studymg the board of control and its depart- ment. “This commission.” says Mr. Hartigan, “has been asked to proposé a business organization of the state government. The committee that has made a study of tais department agrees that the single executive head is the businesslike organization, I cannot recall any business with which T am acquainted in which three men have been put in charge of a department, Universlly in business organization, you find a single executive head. He may have a board of directors ovér him, he may have a committee of the direc- tors to advise him, he may have a number of lieutenants under him, but the single executive head is every where recognized as the business way of organization. There may be rea- sons why the state’s business in this field is different. I do not know of any but if there is we wish to be in- formed of it. Certainly no one should suppose that any reflection is implied on the membership of the board. Two of the members are friends of mine for whom I have the highest regard; 1 have no reason to suppose that any member is lack- ing in ability or fitness for the posi- tion. But that is something we have not looked at for the moment. What is the businesslike organization? That is the one question we have asked. So far an executive position is concerned, we believe it is the single executive, And we shall so recommend.” made KK KKK KKKKKF % EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS KK H K KKK KKK KKK KK Corn is the stuff that is going to make Minnesota wallow in riches and good times.

Jake Preus, a Norwegian-American, and Henry Rines, a native of Sweden, have their hats in the ring and it Tool like a fight to the finish.— Waseca Herald. Al The police of the larger cities—— Duluth, St. Paul and Minneapolis, for instance—might learn a lesson by watching the departments of Bemidji and Brainerd. At the former place, a large sawmill was burned and in- cendiarism was suspected. In less than three days, a man had been ar- rested and had confessed the crime. At Brainerd, a large amount of mer- chandise was stolen, and in a few hours the sheriff and a posse had re- covered the goods and arrested the suspects,—Deerwood Times, ety One of our exchanges is authority for the statement that 13 Minneso- ta newspapers have suspended publi- cation during the last year. It is not that the newspaper business is becoming less renumerative, but that the public is becoming more jand more insistent on real news service, which involves greater expense and labor. The weaker members of the craft have found it hard to keep up the pace, and have been forced to quit. The fleld for the virile, alert, aggressive country newspaper was never better than it ls today.—Hut- chinson Leader. Golfer and Caster. A quaint match took place on a Shropshire (England) golf course be- tween a golfer- using the usual clubs and ball and an angler with his rod and a two and a half ounce fishing weight. A large crowd watched, while the angler endeavored to get round the course in fewer casts than the golfer made strokes. The-angler started fa- vorite, and, of course, bunkers had no terrors for him. But he lost heavily on the longer holes, though some of Lis best casts were more than a hun- dred yards, and was well beaten on the round, taking 102 casts against hl- opponent’s 87 strokes.

American children are noted for the plainness and attractive simplicity of their dress- es and coats. As wash materials -are generally used they are always fresh and clean as well. “If dark materials are used. a bright ribbon on the hair or at the throat gives the required bit of color and is a becoming note. No. 7867 Is a’ long-walsted-dress for a child of from 8 to.14; it shows a blouse with an adjustable shield,sailor collar and full length sleeve;: the skirt, is- a four-piece design attached to a separate underwaist. As plain linen is so popular just now, this dress would be an excellent model for a plain white or colored linen; the collar, cuffs and straight stitched belt could be of a contrasting color and ma- terial if desired. For a child of 12 this pattern re- quires 8% yards of 36 inch material. The pattern is cut in 4 sizes; 8, 10, 12 and 14. This Is a Perfect Pattern.

CALIFORNIA'S NEW- ACT FAVORING TREE PLANTING. New Law Leaves Execution of Work to Municipalities. The new tree planting act now in force in California cities leaves the ex ecution of the work to the municipali ties rather than to contractors and brings each city into direct relation with the property owners in the wmat- ter of tree planting, says the American City. Before ordering any work to be done the city council must adopt a resolu- tion” of- intention describing the pro- posed work and referring it to the city board, commission or officer in charge of tree planting, or, in the absence of such, to the city engineer. This board or officer then makes a report on the 1 proposed improvement, with plans ana specifications for the work, including a statement of the kinds of trees and shrubs, their approsimate ages and sizes, together with an estimate of cost, a dingram und a statement of the proposed nssessment. Proceedings may be stopped for six months by property owners represent- ing amajority of the frontage on the proposed wo After hearing the pro- tests the city umnul may confirm, cor- rect or reject the proposed assessment.
