He indicated this purpose in a talk with Governor-elect Hammond, who called on the president at the ‘White House to ask him to visit Min- neapolis at the time of the Traffic association meeting in March. The president said that he will be in Panama at that time, but he is anx- ious to make another trip to Minne- sota and expects to visit the state some time during 1915. The pres- jdent warmly congratulated Mr. Hammond on his election as gover- nor. . 7 The efficiency and economy com- mission will not lobby at the coming legislative session for its bill, ac- cording to John Stone Pardee, secre- tary. The final draft of the bill will be sent to all members-elect within a few days. “‘Goveérnor Eberhart ap- pointed the commission,” said Mr. Pardee, ‘‘and we will report to him, 1f members of the legislature wish to ask information of any member of the commission he will be glad to answer. The commission itself may be reached by addressing the execu- tive committee. The legislature is in a better position to know the will of the people than the commission.” Each member of the legislature has been sent a letter by the commission announcing that its work is done. Proves Himself Poor Loser. Leonard H. Nord, of International Falls, was elected state senator from this district last month by a most flattering plurality, defeating F. A: ‘Wilsen, of this city, by a vote of prac-| 1) tically two to one and receiving two- ! thirds of the vote of beth Beltrami a2nd Koochichine counties. His vie- tory was one of the most srlendid en- dorsements ever received by a candi- date for office, and amply demeon-} strated the high respect in which he| | | is regarded by the electors. So decisive was the defeat ~f Wil- son that already the fact that he was a candidate has almost been forgot- ten. A large majority of the voters: felt they wanted a real man as their: representative in the upper house! during the next four years and un- hesitatingly cast their ballots for MrAi Nord. Even with these facts in mind; ‘Wilson, in his Sentinel, attempts to belittle Senator Nord, in the edition of yesterday. The Pioneer has made no after-election comment upon Wil- son’s extremely poor showing in an election in which his own city, and| even in the ward in which he claims his residence, gave him a minority | vote, feeling that a glance at the re-| i tion of the depurtment of commerce i show | moving. mond has come out frankly and posi- tively in favor of the program 50 carefully indorsed by the economy and efficiency commission. Before election this might have been passed by as simply a bid for votes, but we believe that Mr. Hammond is broad enough and, courageous enough to take this stand because he believes it is for the benefit of all the people in the state. The professional politic- ians will undoubtedly fight this prog- ram, but it is high time all these po- litical leeches were cut off and the affairs of the state conducted on ap- proved business principles. It 'is now up to the legislature to baék up the incoming governor.—LaPorte News. HOME POTASH SUPPLY. A Ton of Average Farm Manure Con- tains Over Ten Pounds. i [Prepared by Ohio agricultural experiment station.| A ton ot average farm manure con- tains more thap ten pounds of potash, and pot less than 10,000,000 tons ot such manure, containing 100,000,000 pounds of potash, are produced during the six winter months when farm ani- mals are being fed in stables and barn- yards in Ohio. < The investigations of the Ohio ex- periment station have shown - that when manure lies expused in an open barnyard for three months more than half its potash is washed out by the rain. Even when manure was produced under cover the loss when cattle stood on an earth floor was 10 per cent great- er than when the tloor was cemented. A few Ohio farmers are preventing this waste by feeding under cover on cemented floors and keeping the ma- nure under cover until it can be spread on the field, but it is a conservative estimate that one-fourth of all the pot- ash produced annually in Ohio stables and barnyards, or 25,000,000 pounds, is absorbed by the soil under the stable or yard, never to be recovered, or is ‘washed out and carried into the rivers. ‘While this stream of potash has been flowing from our barnyards, we have been purchasing of Germany about one-fourth to one-third as much, which has cost by the time it has reached the farm in rthe fertilizer sack not much short of $1,000,000 annually. The nitrogen and phosphorus of ma- nure are not as quickly available as the nitrogen of nitrate of soda and the phosphorus of acid phosphate or bone- meal, but the potash of manure comes chiefly ‘from the liquid excrement and is mostly soluble in water, so that it is ready for immediate effect. and a pound of potash in manure is worth at least as much as a pound of the same substance in the fertilizer sack. While this stream has been flowing from our barnyards, it bas been carry- ing with it both nitrogen and phos- phorus, the loss in these elements hav- ing a greater potential crop producing value than that of the potash, so that the total loss is amounting to not less than $10.000,000 annually.

The tigures for the south includ- ed colored farmers ns well as whites.

Dallas, Tex., Dec. 12.—Negotiations | for the purchase of 30,000 horses and 112,000 mules, which, it is said. are to be sent to Germany, are under way in Texas, according to an announce- ment here. It was stated that the ani- mals are to be shipped from this state to Genoa, Italy, but local dealers expressed the belief that they would be forwarded from there to Germany. It was said European agents will spend $3,000,000 for Texas horses and mules. THE VALUE OF LIME." Experiment stations are find- ing out in their soil investigation work that production is greatly increased on certain types of soll by the addition of lime. In some instances the application of two or three tons of lime per acre makes a difference between suc- cess and failure in the growing of certain crops, and yet lime 18 not regarded as a plant food in the same sense as this term ap- plies to nitrogen. phosphoric acld and potash. Lime performs an important function in plant ecqn- omy, but it is present in such small quantities In plant tissue that therg is a sufficient supply in practically all soils to fur- -nish this amount 3 it is because of its effect in counteracting soil -acidity tha‘ lime is coming to be regard; . under certain conditions as a . economic necessity. The decor position of vegetdble matter i: the soil results in the production of injurious acids, and when lime is not present to combine with these acids chemically. thereby forming an uninjurious com- pound, the acids, in turn, will act as a poison under certain conditions.—lowa Homestead.

Chicago, Dec. 12.—Greece has turn- ed to Chicago for its wheat supply and is negotiating -for the. purchase of 1,666,000 bushels a month. A. B. Cooke, the American consul at Patras, Greece, through whom nego- tiations are being conducted, advised in a cablegram that the buyers will pay cash in advance. WOMEN SUFFER FROM WAR.

" Califcrnia Woman Seriously Alarmed “A short time ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and caused me a great deal of an- noyance. I would have bad cough- ing spells and my lungs were so sore and inflamed I began to be seriously alarmed. A friend recommended Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, say- ing that she had used it for years. I bought a bottle and it relieved my cough the first ‘night, and in a week I was rid of the cold and soreness of my lungs,” writes Miss Marie Gerber, Sawtelle, Cal. For sale by All Deal- ers.
