So-far this session it has cost Jhe state $7,800 each for the laws passed: In the office of Julius A. Schmahl, secretary of state, there are nine chapters of the laws of 1915 entered on his records. Figures given out today by Walter J. Smith, the state -treasurer, show that the legislative session has cost $78,633. In addition to the nine laws, one con- stitutional amendment has been pass- ed. The laws do not affect the mass- es an dreally are not of general in- terest. The 1913 session cost the state $386,000. The cost of each law was $666. State Land and Legislation. Much discussion has been caused by the -Nord-Miner bill concerning the sale:of .state land, especially as it opposes ‘directly the plan suggest- ed by State Auditor Preus. There S N0 question as to the merit of the Preus plan and in last evening’s is- sue the Duluth Herald, correct as usual, makes the following comment: It was only reasonable to expect that some such measure as the Nord- Miner bill would be introduced in the legislature, in opposition’ to the plan of State Auditor Preus to restrict the sale of state lands. The new measure would take the lid completely off such sales, on the basis that even if land should be sold in large quanti- ties to speculators, the state would have the use of the purchase price and the incomes from- taxes, and meanwhile the new owners would be nwore likely to develop the land or encourage its development than is the state.™ Such & measure as this is the natural result of the state’s past po- liey with regard to its lands. There has been no effort at development, and when a homesteader settled on his few acres.and was surrounded or all but surrounded by state land, he found hjrpself obliged to do all the work and:'bear .all the expense of m:aking a road through to the nearest town or some already established highway. And meanwhile the state land lay there idle, year after year, without even any effort at develop- ment, and in fact making the condi- tion of the somesteader harder than it might otherwise have been. But the state has begun to see a great light on this land proposition, and in one form or another efforts are constantly being made to facili- tate the development of land held by the state; or at least to make state land bear a fair share of the expense of development of the district in which it is located. This movement is bound to succeed, and with its sue- cess will come even greater advant- ages for settlers than exist at present, At the same time, such a policy would make Minnesota land more at- tractive than ever to speculators, and s0 it is all the more advisable to safe- guard sales so that only bona fide holders and developers of land shall become owners. There is one thing of inestimable || value about the Nord-Miner bill, and that is that it is a straight and foree- || ful warning to the state that unless the old haphazard and stifling Iand volicy is changed, we may- yet be ob- liged to sit back and watch Minne- sota acres lie idle in the hands of speculators, while settlers who had a right to expect something entirely different take out their disappoint- ment in bitterness of spirit and language. That there is any real merit in the opposition to the Preus plan is due to the character of the state’s. land policy heretofore. Unless it is will- ‘ing, to take chances on legislation of this kind, the state, either through .constitutional amendment or by some other means, must adopt a pro- 0 |that he must possess. 0 |truthtul, velopmeflt of its-_lnmis; either by set- tlement of through state agencies.

The advertisements, after a few weeks, were called off, for the good reason that the firm re- ceived so many outside orders that its supply was soon exhausted, and now the demand exceeds the supply. There is one thing advertising does —it brings business, and the mer- chant, manufacturer or dealer who is not prepared to take care of the busi- ness, should be careful and not ad- vertise.—St. Cloud Journal-Press.

After a while things loosened up somewhat. Sugar was to be had at an increase price but, with the Ger- man invasion of the principal sugar- producing. provinces and the confis- cation by them of the best crop, a sec- ond sugar panic was caused. Things really did look serious. Most of the sugar in France came from the Nord, Pas-de-Calais, Aisne and Somme de- partments and the Germans had in- vaded these. What was still worse, three-fourths of the best seeds came was what might be called a food panic; people with the memory of rats, cats, horses and other house- hold animals fresh in their minds as- sociated with meals eaten during tnef siege of Paris in 1870, made a rush for grocery establishments. Salt and ‘ sugar were the things they asked for | from Germany, and the other fourth from the invaded French districts. With little sugar on hand and appar- ently no means of planting more sugar beets for a future crop, the outlook was dismal. i The German seed houses offered to send the seeds through Switzerland, e according to information gathered Russia came to the front. At the price paid in times of peace to Ggr- many, France’s ally has sent to beet farmers-here a full supply of seeds of the same variety as the German. The. French government has taken off the usual duty of $6 per 100 pounds on the seeds. However, the sowing can be done only over 100,- 000 ‘hectacres as- compared to 213,- 350 hectacres which is an average, owing to the German occupation. Therefore, while danger of a sugar famine has been obviated, there must necessarily be a comparative shortage of the home product and foreign countries must to some extent be de- pended upon. A large part of this year’s beet crop was shipped by the Kaiser’s here, but the French refused. Then |- YOUR FRECKLES Need Attention in February and March or Face May Stay Covered. Now is the time to take special care of the complexion if you wish it to look well the rest of the year. The February and March winds have a strong tendency to - bring out freckles that may stay all Summer unless removed. - Now-is the time to use othine—double strength. This prescription for the removal of freckles was written by a prominent physician and is usually so successful that it is sold by druggists: under guarantee to refund the money if it fails. Get an ounce of othine—— double strength, and even a few .ap- plications should show a wonderful improvement, some of the smaller freckles even vanishing entirely.
