He is unhappy and restless without that big incen- tive of protecting his home. Therefore one of the first things a man does when he attains some economic independence is to plan upon the building of a home—and what a pleasure even the planning is. Discuss Advantages. his wife and -the two then spend many a happy day discussing the ad- vantages and possibilities of different localities. “John,” she confides, “I've heard that Minnesota is a very healthful state. Of course, we want our chil- dren to be healthy—that’s the main thing.” Investigate Climate. So they investigate Minnesota’s climate and find statistics show that the mortality rate is very low in Min- nesota. And no wonder; Such sea- sons; glorious springs, temperate sum- mers, Indian summers or autumns, none like them elsewhere to be found, snappy, invigorous winters! Minnesota lies in the north temperate zone—in the climate in which man accomplishes things—not the’ lazy, indolent weather of the south nor the extreme cold of the north where thg climate interferes with business ac- tivities. Good Drinking Water. Then there is to be taken into consideration the drinking water question for good health and pure drinking water are closely allied. Innumerable pure, cold springs abound everywhere in Minnesota. Clear creeks and streams run through many .a farm. Wells can be dug without great expense almost any place. Then there are the lakes for which Minnesota is famous every- where—thousands of them.

Themue is Duluth at the head of the l@kes, already a great steel city and destined to take its place as the biggest steel city in the world. It will spme day, in all probability, be the nteway of the great Northwest.” Good School Bystem. Then there is the good school sys- tem, excellent rural schools, grade schools, high schools, normals and colleges such as l—!linllne, Macales- ter, Carleton, St. Thomas, Gustavus Adolphus, St. Olaf,'St. John's, St. Mary’s, Shattuck, etc. Above all there is the state university, one of the biggest in the lnlry. with an enrollment of over 5,00. “Owing to the judicious policy of the early set- tlers, Minnesota hasj the richest school fund of any stal p in-the union. Next to good health, the richest and most valuable endowment you can i B S Many Railways Cut State. But how about transportation? A state in order to attain full develop- ment must have good transportation facilities. Minnesota realizes this and has built up a good system. James J. Hill, the builder of rail- roads, is a Minnesotan and-he has made Minnesota the home -of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways. Then there are the Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Omaha, Chicago Great' Western, Minnesota & International, Soo, Canadian ' North- ern, Minneapolis, Red Lake and Manitoba, besides many other l'lfl- ways. / Even the smallest towns have good shipping facilities. For water transportation there is the Mississippi, the Minnesota, the Red River of the North, Croix and’ innumerable streams and tributaries. Good Roads in Country. Good roads campaigns are con- ducted in every county and as a re- sult good roads are being built and kept in repair. All the farmers are beginning to appreciate the economic value of good roads and with the ap- preciation of this fact comes actual accomplishment, for ‘Minnesotans are men that do. Minnesota then is the land of good health, education, prosperity, prog- ress and happiness. “Let’s move up there, John,” re- solves the good wife. “I know we’ll be happy building our home and 'm sure we and our children will pros- per.” And they will for this is home means to a Minnesotan: A Home in Minnesota. smaller what There’s a place, oh far away ‘Where I'll return some happy day Home, sweet home is what I mean In wand’ring here and there I've seen Lands that seemed just right, you know, The sky was blue, the earth below Seemed a paradise of flowers, A place to spend life’s ling'ring hLours, Nature’s fruits were plentiful Still children starved, oh, pitiful.

Washington, Oct. 11.—The long struggle in Mexico js coming to an end. The action of the Pan-Amer- ican conference in resolving to recq,g— nize Carranza may mnot'bring it, to an immediate close but it must work out that way. With Carranza’s ad- mitted preponderance of military power, backed by the western pow- ers, he must soon overcome all re- sistance. Zapata and Villa are at their wits” end already and one good’ push by a well organized army will drive them, Villa out of the ccuntry and Zapata back to the hills, where] he may continue to make trouble as our western Indians did for years. Eventually, he must either succumb or come in under the government. The conference was unanimous in its action in favor of Carranza. For- mal recognition by the United States will be delayed until the diplomats who represented the South American powers can communicate with their governments. As soon as they have made their recommendations, recog- nition by all seven of the govern- ments will be given and it Vis ex- pected that the European powers will fall in line. : The situation is brief is as fol- lows; ‘Why Carranza Wins.
