One of the principal talks at the annual meeting of the State Bar as- sociation was given by George L Bunn, one of the justices of the Min- nesota supreme court. Justice Bunn was assigned the subject, ‘“Appellate Procedure” and by his intimate handling of his topic gave the mem- bers an insight into the actual workings of the highest court; their laborious tasks, and the reforms tending to the simplification of prac- tice and the termination of delays. Among other things Justice Bunn said: “The attitude of the court should be and is that of the patient listener. The Supreme Court of Minnesota has adopted the policy of prompt decisions of the cases sub- mitted to it. Consultation takes place immediately after the day’s ar- guments, and the decision is Teached and the opinion written while the case is fresh. There are constant consultations, formal and informal. The judge who writes the opinion writes it before the case gets cold and his associates review and cor- rect his opinion before they have forgotten the_arguments, The ahs- ence of long delays does not mean snap judgment or ill considered de- cisions. It does mean working at white heat while the facts are fresh and before the case is driven from the minds of the justices by other work and the lapse of time.” Many Follow Agriculture. There are 835,452 persons in Min- nesota that work for a living and 287,219 of them are employed upon the farm, according to a report which has just been issued by the United States Census Bureau.

A Community of Three Zones, Indus- trial, Civic and Residential. To make the Joys of country life an all the year round possibility for city dwellers a model garden city having three distinct es, industrial, ecivie and residential, is being laid out in southern Wisconsin with the expecta- tion that uithnatel, will become a suburb of Milwaukee. roads which run through the site will separate the manufacturing and industrial center on one side from the residence and municipal districts on the other. Over 1,000 ac of land have been pledged to thie project. and owners are working together iu the development and execution of the model city plan, which provides ftirst of | that no home shall have less than an acre of thickly wooded ground and that at least 50 per cont of the trees standing when the land. a primitive woodland, is sold shall be prescrved The combined hoidings something over 1,000 either side of the coun miles west of West Allis. one of the future suburbs of Milwaukee. Both the Chicago and Northwestern and the new belt line connecting the North- western and the Milwaukee roads run through the property. while the Wau- kesha interurban cars muke the resi- dents of the district but half an hour from the Milwaukee terminal station. One of the fundamental features of the plan is to insure a community of garden homes. The residence district will be bordered along the county line road and the road to the north n the stores. offices and other places of business. No store will be allowed in the heart of the revidence distriet. which is Iaid out in one acre lots, In the industrial district only those factories will be allowed which will meet certain requirements of attrac- tive design, as well as modern building regulations governing sanitation and other details for the well being of the employees. Many of the natural beauty spots in represent s Iying on line road, two the residence section will be retained |, for ifie benefit of the community. one | especially pleturesque glen overlooklng 2 natural lake having been transform: ed into an open air theater. A certain number of lots will be reserved as playgrounds for children. Arrowheads and other Indian relics which are be Ing found will be housed in a munic pal museum. Between 1882 and 1907 the num- ber of married women at work in Germany increased 160 per cent. Over 3,000 women in Berk county, Pa., work in the harvest fields at this time of year.
