Examiner’s Department Prospers. The appropriations for all pur- poses given to the public examiner's department for the year ending July 31, 1915, were $45,600. Back taxes found to be due to the state as a result of the examinations of rail- roads, telephone companies, express companies and other transportation lines, and certified to by this depart- ment, amounts to $83,691.76, of which $27,560.567 was collected and paid into the state' treasury during the year ending July 31, 1915. The appropriations for all purposes to the oil inspection department for the year ending July 31, 1915, were $50,000. The fees paid to the state for oil inspection aggregated $62.- 689.20 from Atigust 1,1914, to May 15, 1915, and in this department there is also more than $50,000 due the state for oil inspection fees and are contesting the legality of making such payment. Tax Pays Fire Marshal. No appropriation is made toward the maintenance of the fire marshal’s department and it is supported by the payment of a tax by all insurance companies doing business in the state. This is not a part of the reg- ular taxes paid by the insurance companies. The ‘“fire marshal” tax is paid into the state treasury as a separate item, and credited to the ac- count of the state fire marshal and 1s disbursed by him for the operation of his department. The amount re- ceived each year as fire marshal tax is about $25,000. Grain Inspection Self-supporting. The hay and grain inspection de- partment has always been self-sus- tuining. The receipts of this de- pariment for last year amounted to $:24.320.27, while the surplus in the department on May 15, 1915 amount- ed to $134,165.89. PRE’PAFATION OF ITALY FOR TO PLAY IMPORTANT PART (Continued from Paxe 1.) the British character which has made the United Kingdom the cradle of European liberty. In the long his- tory of England there has always been ready to risk their fortunes or their lives to combat any encroach- ment by the government upon pop- ular liberties. This trait is as ir- radicable in English as it is in Amer- icans. No crisis ever arisen in An- glo-Saxondom, endangering liberty, but that a leader arises to give bat- tle. The criticisms directed against Lord Kitchener were inevitable from the day of his appointment as min- ister of war. His temper so auto- cratic, his methods have always been too dictorial, his contempt of public opinion is too real for him to remain master of democracy. It is a curious fact that protests against Kitchener’s dictatorship did not originate among English radi- cals. Lord Northcliffe, the great newspaper proprietor, who first brought charges of dereliction against Kitchener is a conservatist in politics. The London radical pa- pers, the Daily News and Chronicle, are supporting Kitchener. This cir- cumstance is due to the extremely partisan character of the British press. Lord Kitchener was appoint- ed to power by a radical government and the officials’ radical newspapers must defend him, therefore, until his power is officially curtailed. The most important radical newspaper in England, however, is upholding Lord Northeliffe. This is the Manchester Guardian, which has a long and con- sistent record of fighting the reser- vation of British liberties, no matter The Guar- dian’s help is of immense value to Lord Northcliffe at this time. It negatives the charge of the London radical press that Northeliffe is seek- ing only journalistic sensation. The burning of a pile of Lord North- cliffe’s newspapers by members of the London stock exchange is symtomatic of the financier’s suspicion of demo- cracy and their faith in the benifits of an autocratic government. When the European war broke out English thinkers seriously discussed the pos- sibility of a military spirit akin to the Prussian arising in Great Brit- ain. While the British people were proclaiming that they were fighting the battle of democracy, there was undoubted feeling among many ob- servers that democracy might not be strong in England after the war as it was before. If Kitchener had been alowed to continue his manage- ment of the war office uncriticized, the fear of democrat loving English- men might well have been realized. Lord Northeliffe has prevented this. By boldly revealing the facts of the British dictator, Northcliffe has re- called England to the paths of demo- cracy and has won for himself a sure place in history. Otto Schmunk left this afternoon for Crookston where he will spend a few days on business. Miss Edna Rock, who has been vis- iting friends and relatives at Lari- more and Meckinock, North Dakota, has returned to Bemidji. Mrs. Josephine D.

The Hazel niine and the Francis mine, also in = Washington county; the Johnetts mine in Alleg- heny county and the Bertha, at Bruceton, are the other holdings. LA SALLE AT NEW ORLEANS LaSalle, I1l, May 22.—A fleet of steel barges left here today for New Orleans. The trip inaugurates the opening of the waterway between Il- linois and San Francisco. The steamer Steel City will head the pro- cession of barges and cary as pas- sengers many prominent business men of Chicago, La Selle, other Illi- nois cities and cities of other states along the waterway and located in the contiguous territory.

A RECORD COUNCIL. ‘Winnebago City, Minn., May 24.— This city is the first one in the world which comes forth with the claim of having a complete city couneil, on which not a ‘member will smoke a pipe, cigar or cigarette, nor will they take a drink or chew tobacco. . The council are all rated in the mascu- line gender. BEAUTY AND UTILITY IN TOWN BACK YARD FARMS. Cover the Ugly, Useless Surfaces With Crops of Vegetables and Flowe: The problem of cowbining some sem- blance of design with the uses to which the average city back yard s put is a difficult one. Cousider the acres of waste land and the countless wasted opportunities in those sad, hot, dusty back yards. Think of the tons of delicious vegetables they might have raised, the lovely flowers. Here are suggestions for the plant- ing of very small yards. A garden 25 by 60 feet of lawn, shrubs and flow- ers may be made, the whole complete- ly hidden from the street by heavy planting in a corner. Another may be 87% by 60 feet and have a small cold frame at one side. In the cold frame can be raised twenty-four tomato plants that later go against the north fence, the earllest crops of lettuce; radishes and onfons and the first planting of sweet corn and cucumbers. Six dwarf fruits trees, a clump of shrubs at the end of the grass walk and.a bench make an attractive outlook from the back porch. A delightful flower and vegetable garden can be achieved in a planting space 30 by 60 feet by dividing them with a pergola. Suppose there is a long walk down the middle of the yard. It will seem less long because of the little rustic pergola dividing flow- er from vegetable garden. Grass sur- rounded by flowers and shrubs would be employed to make the little flower garden in front of the pergola restfui and beautiful, an outdoor room of great charm. The pergola itself should have grapevines trained over it. Behind it would come the biggest outdoor workshop imaginable, the vég- etable garden. At the right an aspara- gus bed, if the bed is properly cuiti: vated and fertilized. Peppers, eggplant or cauliffiower can be grown between the rows of asparagus. Against the fence would be two rows of tomatoes (even In a small garden one must grow many of them, they are so satisfii tory), lettuce, radishes and onions, six hills of rhubarb and the cold frame. At the left, Swiss chard, beans, three hills of cocumbers and sweet corn—a quarter of the garden in sweet corn, the most deliclous vegetable In the garden.--Chicago Herald.

STARVED INTO GOODNESS. Why Crime Is Rare Among the Caribs of South America. In the whole wide world there is not a_class of people to be found who in- flict” severer punshment upon them- Selves than the Caribs of Central America. Thelr religion, which is one of the most peculiar kind, demands self pun ishment for sins intentionally or unin tentionally committed. The punish- ment takes the form of starvation and|. close confinement. If the sin be in the form of a lie, no matter whether it is calculated to in Jure another or not, the sinner goes without either food or drink for three days, at the end of which it 18 belleved that the offender has paid the penalty for his or her sin. Blaspheming and using bad language are punishable by absolute starvation for two days. As- sault, drunkenness and other serious sing call for four days’ starvation for one week, three days’ starvation for the second week, two days’ starvation for the third week and one day’s star vation in the fourth week. All sins are punished with starva tion. For that reason crime is very low among the Caribs, who are among the best behaved and most truthful people in the world. — London Tele graph. Fear of Premature Burial. The fear of premature burial, which prompted the late Lord Burton to di rect by his will that his heart should be removed from his body, has caused many well known men and women to order a surgical operation to be per- formed upon their bodies. ~Harriet Martineau left her doctor £10 to ampu. tate her head, and Lady Burton direct ed that her heart should be pierced with a needle. The late Edmund Yates left instructions that his jugular vein should be severed, with a ‘provision that a fee of 20 guineas should be paid for the purpose. Literary persons ap. pear to have been particularly afraid of premature burial. Bishop Berkeley. Lord Lytton, Hans Andersen and Wil- kie Collins all took measures to protect themselves from it.—Westminster Ga zette. Magazines on Warships. If there is one danger that sailors dread more than any other it is an ex. plosion in the powder magazine.

This pipe Is closed by two taps, which are connected with the deck. In case of danger it is only the work of 2 minute to open the taps. let the sea rush In through the pipes and flood the magazine.
