D EI AT.I C GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES The State as a Land Dealer. There are many signs that a land boom is imminent in Northern Min- nesota. The tide of immigration that crossed this state of opportunity to Canada and to the semi-arid regions of the West for one reason and an- other has turned back upon itseif, and seeks a location nearer home. The tales of settlers who have mado good in Northern iMnnesota are the best advertising material, and they are doing their work. The inquiry for Northern Minnesota lands never was so great, and the tide of settle- ment never was so strong. Where is the state, the largest Yandowner in Northern Minnesota, to be in this coming boom? It owns millions of acres of good land. It sells this land on easy terms. But it has no way of show- ing intending settlers the goods it has to offer, its sale methods are antiquated, ang its land business is erudely organized. Moreover, it must sell these lands Jargely as they stand, often without rodds or drainage, and always with- out improvement. Yet the greater part of its lands . are stump-covered, and the new settler often has a hard time of it while he is clearing a few acres from which to raise a living for his family. The time has come for the state of Minnesota to adopt a modern and business-like land policy, if it is to compete with private land specula- tors, R The recent Democratic mass meet- ing pointeq the way in this para- graph from the resolutions it unan- imously adopted: Our state should adopt a sys- tematic and business-like plan of developing and settling its rich resource of public lands now idle and fruitless through state neglect. To this end, we recommend the creation of a state revolving fund. to be used in improving state-owned lands by draining submerged areas, by building roads to inaccessible areas, and by partial clearing of gtump-covered lands; the cost of such improvements to be charged to the lands benefited ang recovered into the revolving fund when jsuch lands are sold. Wherever lands privately own- ed are benefited by such im- provements, they should be as sessed their full share of the cost. We urge this not only as a measure of true conservation and development for Northern Minnesota, but as a business plan that will profit the entire state. Here is the state’s greatest need, vividly outlined and a practical rem- edy concisely stated. This is a plank that should be in the platform of every party and in the statement of every candidate for executive or legislative office.—Du- luth Herald.

We believe it would be a mistake to abolish this board, It is the most efficient part of the state government, and we can see no valid reason for suggesting a change.—Kanabec County Times. gl Little is known of the substance radium, and yet every day we hear of something mew and wonderful that it will do.

Practical Fashion Hmts 7895 In No. 7895 an effectively draped, attractive - dress for shown. It may be made up in & soft silk, one of the new taffetas, moire, or-silk poplin; if a wash material is preferred, one of -the new cotton crepes, striped or in flowered design, would be most attractive, Vest effects are still favored in many of thé dark frocks; these are developed in a brightly colored silk or silk gauze showing Indian or Japanese designs. In this model we have a surplice closing, pleated vest, which may be made of silk, chiffon or organd 1t is quite a fad to make this vest sen- arately of organdy, mousseline de soic or a sheer crepe. When fashionel in one of these materials, it gives a very dainty appearance to a dark dress; colored buttons, tassels and othcr or- naments are also used to give tho required bit of color contrast. In this instance, if dark silk were used it would be very pleasing to have the buttons in Chinese coloring. To copy this dress i size 36, 5% -yards of 36- in-h material is required. The pattern is cut in five sizes: 34 to 42. This 1s a Perfect Pattern. Be sure to give right size, measur- ing over the fullest part of the bust for dimensions. It may be obtained by filling out the coupon and enclosing 15 cents in stamps or coin to the Pattern Depart- ment of this paper. Name.......
