Are we selfish, or do we fail to grasp how this dread- ful disease has grown through neg- lect, asks the Albert Lea Standard. Migrating Farmers. No one who knows his America will question the statement of the United States census bureau that the tendency of our temant farmers to migrate from one farm to another is & serious handicap to agricultural purposes. The roving farmer is an enemy of careful and scientific farm- ing metkods. He farms his rented lands in a manner calculated to dis- sipate quickly the fertility of the soil and to produce a low average of crops per acre. He takes mo interest in improving a farm which does not be- long to him and which he knows he will leave in a short time. It is his ambition to get the biggest returns Getting suffering| with the least effort, and the conse- quences to the land are wholly de- plorable, says the St. Paul l')ispatch. Reformers may talk all they like about ridding the country of these imigrating farmers by obtaining for them greater security and length cf tenure. But the fault is not so much that of the landlord -as it is of the farmer himself. There are few land owners who do not prefer to have their renters remain on the land for a long perigd of years, but the ten- ants themselves very often are na- tural-born rovers, and they are not happy unless they are moving every year or so. To accomplish some re- .00 | forms, and this seems to be one of them, it is necessary to alter not a system but human nature itself, XK KEKE KKK KK KKK % EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS * KKK KKK K KKK K KKK Eggs should be cheap in Minne- sota. We have 11,000,000 chickens in the state and possibly a number running around that didn’t get into the census.—Stillwater Gazette. —_—— In past years there used to be a commandment that began, “Honor thy father,” but it seems to be an en- tirely forgotten one in America to- day. Most children are taught to ‘honor their mothers, but incredibly little respect is paid to the father in America.—Red Wing Republican. —_—— According to the latest informa- tion obtainable the public has labored under a misapprehension as to gas plants. They are really decorative and highly ornamental as architec- tural features, and should be includ- ed in the beautifying scheme of any city. It is even possible to learn to love them.—Little Falls Tran- script. —_—— The Duluth News-Tribune . says Governor Eberhart has begun his campalgn. Now there’ll be some life to the gubernatorial struggle. Lee is tiresome at best; indeed, he would help his candidacy if he remained at home.—Stillwater Gazette. —_—— = Northern Minnesota would be doubly blessed if the single tax was put in force. The single tax means that all this wild land held for specu- lation would be taxed at the same figure per acre as the improved farms. And it should be. The out- rage of owners of this ctuover land +holding it from $10 to $25 per acre, would then 'be a thing of the past. It would -gladly be sold for $1 and $2 per acre, all that it should bring ifrom the actual settler.. The taxing power of the state should be so used that land could not be held for speculation.—Biwabik Times. ] '‘OLD TYPE CITIES. They Are Not to Be Regarded as Ex- amples For Imitation. Many city planners of the old sckool. says Werner Hegemann in the Ameri- can City, continue to regard cities such as Paris, Berlin or Vienna or such as Nuremberg or Rothenberg. as ideals, that can be held up for imitation in modern cities. This. however, seems to be fundamentally wrong. All these supposed model cities, though they present most valuable material for study, represent an old type. The old city type is characterized by congested tenements with stores and business premises on the ground floors and in the cellars. The most funda- mental idea of modern city planning goes back to the years 1665 and 1665, when the great pest followed by the great fire revolutionized the congested city of London and, frightening some of its citizens out of the old city walls. taught them to desert the congestion and to live in suburbs .spread over wide areas. The ideal city Has its dwelling house district of the garden city type distinet from the business district, connections being made by those astonishing systéms of rapid transit which characterize the modern big city. The extravagant land values, as one views them in congested cities like Paris. Berlin and Vienna, pre- vent the proper development of private gardens and even of public parks and playgrounds. while public and private gardens can thrive in the modern de- centralized cities. It is estimated that a day of dark- ness in London caused by fog costs the inhabitants $25,000 for gas, as well as a large sum for electric light. The bualo of the United Sfftates and Canada now number about 3,000. WHITE WINGS ON PARADE. ‘"What are the windows open for?" old Father William said. “To let out dust, to let out dust,” said White Wings on parade. *‘What makes you smile so gay, so gay?’ old Father William said. ¢ “I'm glad for what I'm going to watch,” said Whits Wings on parade. 2 5 ‘For they're cleaning up the city. You can hear the brooms go > swish, X The maids are in- the kitchen; they are washing pan and dish. They’ve cleaned out all the corners and every nook you’d wish, For they're cleaning up the city in the morning.” *‘Where have the noisy childfen gone?" old Father Willlam said. “They’ve sent them to their gran- nies,”” said White Wings on parade. 5 ““Where are the toiling husbands?” old Father William said. “They’ve left the house to wifey,” sald White Wings on parade. “For they're cleaning up the city. You can hear them scrub and dust. They are cleaning stoves and fau- cets; they are scraping off the rust. They are polishing and shining till you'd think the pipes would bust, For they're cleaning up the city in the morning.” “What's that so black against the sun?" old Father William said. “It's but a dirty city,” said White Wings;on parade. “What's that that squeaks beneath my feet?” old Father William said. “'Tis carpet sweepers now in use,” said White Wings on parade. “For they're cleaning up the city till the walls and floors shall glow; They're fiXing up the gardens so the springtime plants'll grow; They’ré whitewashing the cellars so that all.the dirt will go, For they're cleaning up the city in the morning.” ““What makes the housewife breathe so hard?" old Father William said. ““1 guess it's dust, 1 guess it's dust. said White Wings on parade. ““What is that cloud that flies so high?" old Father Willlam sai “They’'re beating out the dusty rugs,” said White Wings on parade. “For they're cleaning up the city; they are sweeping all the rooms: They have worn out all the bristles in a half a million brooms. They’ll put in glad'ning sunlight in- stead of darksome glooms After cleaning up the city in the morning."” —Cecelia G. Gerson. An excellent model for the softly colored, sheer blouses that are so much favored this season is shown in number 7715. It has a full length rag- lan sleeve, inset vest and a Robes- pierre collar; this coilar may be wired high in back or turned down as illustrated. With many of our little bolero coats which cut away so sharply in front, it is necessary that an appropriate blouse te be worn or the effect of our costume is lost. These blouses need not necessarily 'be elab- orate, as a touch of embroidery on col- lar, cuffs or vest and the fineness of the material itself gives the required note. This design may be made in size 36 with 3% yards of 36-inch ma- terial. The pattern is cut in six sizes, 32 to 42. This is a Perfect Pattern. Be sure to give right size, measur- ing over the fullest part of the bust for dimensions.
