After the middle of June he value of the rooster to the laying flock is nil. “Eat them, sell them, or shut them up,” says N. E. Chapmsan, pouliry spe- cialist of the extension division. Minnesota annually has more than 500,000 roosters on her farms. By June 15 their usefulness is ended and for the next four months their pres- <ence with the laying flock will re- sult in great loss. Alfred Jaques is now United States District Attorney, having tak- en the oath of office before Charles L. Spencer, clerk of the district court, at St. Paul yesterlay. The new dis- trict attorney announced that Joel M. Dickey would continue to be the first agsistant. No changes have ‘been xe in the office. Mr. Dickey has been connected with the United States district attorney’s office since January, 1890, most of that time serving as first assistant. Mr., Ja- ques will be the sixth district attor- ney with whom Mr. Dickey has worked. Mr. Jaques will continue to make his home in Duluth. State Business Growing. The total volume of business of the state of Minnesota for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1914, will approxi- mate $41,000,000. The volume for the (irst eleven months of the year, at the close of business yesterday. ,124.42. For the entire r ending July 31, R 1913, the receipts and disbursements aggre- gated but $36,769,163.37, or more than $2,006.0¢0 less than those for eleven months of this year. These statistics are contained in a state- ment issued by Walter J. Smith, state treasurer, and show the rapid growth of the volume of business of the state of Minnesota in the various phasa2s of its government activities. In ten years it is believed the volume will; reach the $60,000,000 mark at'the| present rate of progress. These figures ! do not mean that the state spends that amount of money, and other moneys which redistributes among its minor sub- divisions, acting only as,a collector, are growing with almost dented rapidity. One point on which ditor’s office.—International Falls ! Journal, 1T gy | A movement is on foot among the clui) women of the United States to} have railroad trains supplied with | chaperons, whose duty will be to safeguard our rural maids and youth- ful matrons from the attentions and blandishments of strange men while! traveling alone. The move is a wise ! one and should be fostered and en- couraged. It is needed, and we are for it.—Ely Miner. e Apropos of the agitation for Moth- ers’ day and Fathers’ day, a corres- pondent of the New York Times, evi- dently craving a few more holidays than the government or his employer allots him, suygests several others, day, Sisters’ day, Slush day, with appropriate flowers for each occasion. For instance, he would make the bleeding -heart the symbol of Maiden Aunts’ day, milk-; weed the flower of Babies’ day, and catnip for Household Pets’ day.

Mr: Lee trimmed Governor Eberhart “to a frazzle,” as the immortal - "Teddy, might -ejaculate, and demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that the people of Winnesota are tired of hav= ing someone else dictate their af- fairs.

The question is the man. Mr. Lee is a banker., He knows, naturally, how to cut down expenses, and that is the big issue just at this time in Min- nesota. Mr. Hammond is a Minne- sota congressman. He has always stood for the good things in national affairs. He doesn’t wait to be told what to do, because he doesn’t have to be told. He would make good as governor.—Deerwood Times.

In every case, however, it is possible to adopt a plan which may, little by little, be carried into execution with ultimately the greatest beneficial re sults. Not only motives of civic pride and _patriotism go to muke the civic center desirable, but also the strongest mo- tives of social and municipal economy dnd efficiency. A civic center should contain, except in cities of large size where more than one center is required. the mumclpfll and federal buildings, such as the obesion . which ‘cannot be: : omceNtedernl court bn!ldlng and vari- ous city: depmtmentnl buildings: The civic' center should, of course, have a central location and be, readily accessible ‘from all parts of the city. and ‘surrounding suburban | districts. Several main arteries of traffic’ should radinte from the civic center, making it the center gf the city’s street plan. the keystone in the arch of its design. A civic center of large extent, in ad- dition to its artistic and psychological effect, is of great value as a place for the assembling of large numbers- of people on great public occasions. It is a central point for the reviewing of pa- rades and for the reception 6f- noted visitors to the city.” The mistake most likely to be made in planning a civic center is to make it too small in’ area. The expense of a large center, though usually very great, is one that should be incurred as early as practicable in the existence of the city. for as the value of the ground increases constant- ly it is an investment which never de- preciates in value. It is a matter of wisdom for a city contemplating civic improvenfents to purchase the neces: sary land and lease it until the time comes for the actual rebuilding. ten or twenty years later. The civic center should be so placed as to be easily accessible to all parts of the city. and if necessary new avenues and streets should be cut through to af ford the proper approach. 1t should be conveniently phiced with reference to most: along the sides.
