Have you done your duty? As a judicial body the state su- preme court is stronger today than ever before and one of the men largely responsible for the high po- sition held by the tribunal is Judge George L. Bunn, who has served 2as an associate justice during the past three years and is this fall a candi- date for re-election. Judge Bunn’s fitness to the postion has never been "questioned and he is one of the ablest and most conscientious members of the state court, and he is far known for his fairness and integrity. He should be re-named by the voters of the state. Shows An Increase. The assessed valuation of all the taxable property in Minnesota sub- jeet to direct taxation is $1,683,713,- 560, an increase of $232,656,000 over the figures of last year. The in- crease is due to real estate and to money and credits as personal pro- perty, owing to the new classification placing much property on the lists at 25 per cent of true value and a ruling that the $100 exemption should be based on the assessed valuation. The total increase is valued at $1,- 264,638,014, an increase of $192,- 300,000 over 1912; personal property at $222,901,827, a decrease of $5,- 022,000 from last year; money and credits, $150,901,995, an increase of $45,200,000. i ° Personal property would have shown ‘a great. gain ‘also, according to the state tax commission, if there had not been such a heavy falling off in the twin cities, Minneapolis re- turning $14.800,000 less than in 1913, and St. Paul $4,300,000 less. The figures as they come in show that in some counties household goods and other personal property had been in the past assessed as low as 15 per cent of the true value.

Lee has taken his stand against brewery control and will sink or swim largely on that issue. It takes no little courage to take a po- sition on an issue that the people are closely divided upon, but Mr. Lee is right and we expect to see the pub- lic come to his rescue in no uncer- tain manner.—Elk River Star-News. —— There are always agitations on tor! protecting those who_don’t like a| thing from those who do. -Why not. reverse the order and start agitating the protection of those who like a! thing from those who don’t?

The governor need have no fears of future finan- cial reverses. With chautauqua tents in the summer time and ckurches in the winter time await-! irg him, and his ability to talk in o the Swedish and Anglo-Saxon tor he is certainly well qun_lfi_fled to en- force the wolf that would howl at his docr to move on.—Standstone Trib- une. 2 MUCH IN LITTLE. England now has a million and a be | half surplus women. The Geman textile industries em- ploy more women than men. Nearly 5,000,000 females are work- ing for wages in England. Uruguay has joined the mnations that officially recognize 24-hour time. Over 30 per cent of the feminine population of Germany are wage- earners. o ] 8 O e e T e O] An abundant supply of soil moisture is essential to full yield, and frequent tillage conserves moisture. - The culti- vators should be kept moving and a fine sofl maintained. . It is poor economy to use cultivator teeth after they are worn very short. They are not effective in making the finest muleh. _ A few weeds allowed to go to seed will cause exira work next year. It will pay to make an extra effort to re- move them before they sow a new crop of seed. Late celery may be planted in very rich soll as late as August, and there will be time for it to attain market- able size before hard freezing in the fall. Golden Self Blanching celery is es- pecially desirable for planting late in the season because it requires much less time to mature than the green sorts. The old strawberry plantations should be cleaned up promptly if they are to be retained for fruiting next year. The berries are generally smaller the second year, and this is a strong argu- ment for starting new plots each year and fruiting the beds only once. Again, it usually costs about as much to re- new the old plantation a3 to start a new one, All garden makers should now plant at least some beets for the winter vse. The soil should be fine and well pre- pared and handled in such a way as to have sufficient moisture for the germination of the seeds. ALFALFA A SOIL BUILDER. Red clover is an excellent soil im- prover and should continue to be used for this purpose, but a ton of alfalfa contains seven pounds of nitrogen and one pound of phosphoric acid more than the same amount of clover. The total manure ‘produced as a by- product in feeding a ton of alfalfa bhay is relatively more valuahle than the total manure. produced in feeding the same amount of clover hay, be- cuuse richer in nitrogen. Alfalfa has a deeper and heavier root xystem than clover and is more efficient in adding vegetable matter of a high unitrogen content to the soil. ‘The deeper root system makes alfaifa more efficient than red clover in using the mineral matter contained in the subsoil and improving drainage. Looking toward the future with re spect both to prodncing a bigher ylelé of a more valuable forage per acre and to manintaining the productivity of the soil. it is a matter of wisdom to raise more acres of clover and al- falfa and fewer uacres of timothy.— Minnesota Farmers' Library, PAID ADVERTISEMENT.
