PAY DIRT AND DYNAMITE i Before long, if the gold strike in northern Minnesota-pans out, the sound of shot after shot of ,dynamite wi]l.pe heqrd throughout the fortunate district. But, while more stimulating to the get-rich-quick emotion, these detonations will be far less imporant to the state of Minnesoa and its people thap similar muffled booms heard Friday in Beltrami county. ' <" "t Two blasts, one at Bemidji, the other near Blackduck, tore from the soil 250 deep-rooted stumps that had stubbornly block- ed the progress of agriculture since the country was §ettled. These two explosions opened two acres of real pay dirt—an open mine, easy to work, guaranteed never to pinch out, and as- saying thirty bushels of No. 1 Northern. There:is;aproperty of no doubtful value, a sure and continuous producer, a real asset to the owner and to the community. | Bathi o ‘And these two earth-shaking reports, set off befgke & gheer- ing crowd like a_display of Fourth of July pyrotechnics, her- alded the beginning of a campaign of the greatest importance to Bgltrami county. It is planned, to clear 15,000 acres of cut- over land this year and prepare it for cultivation next year— fifteen thousand acres at thirty bushels of wheat to the acre; its value to the state is easily computed. The railways have taken the initiative in encouraging land clearing, largely because the more -productive the district they tap the more profitable is their investment. But ther profit is small compared to the increased wealth of the state. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of stump land in this state that are not even paying taxes. Idlé, they are a liability. cultivated, they will become assets, Here is a' peace-time use of dynamite that deserves devlopment.—St. Paul Dispatch. L My e e THROWING STONES The public is becoming nauseated with the case of the New York banker who brought suit for divorce against his wife, claiming that another man is the father of her baby boy. The wife fought for her good name and the legitimacy of her child, and she fought hard and with startling results. She charged, and claims to be able to prove, that the banker; while attacking her-purity, was even deéeper in the mire—was, in fact, -maintaining another woman as his wife under an assumed name. There, too, a child is to be found. Before his attempt to besmirch his wife in order to'secure his freedom he was a man of commanding position intthid finan- cial world. Now he is no longer at the head of his bank, is lodk- ating a residence abroad. 3 . He can be spared—he will not be missed—the. even be purer when he is gone. 5 i The American people do not look with favor upon-guilty men who throw stones. . 0 B0 USE THE IRON FIRST L pon Many country pople are viewing the reign of banditry in the cities with increasing uneasiness, Instead of diminishing, the number of criminals seems to be increasing. There appears to be no end to them. Men, who, through lack of employment, enter ‘a life-of crime, do not like to go back to work again. Stealing-requires less exertion, 3 If the city ‘authorities wake up and drive these ‘hofdes of banqits from their limits, at least a portion of them will be mi- grating to the country in search of easy prey.

For uppermost in the minds of hun- dreds of thousands is the question of where they are-going to live. -Build- ing has been.at a standstill since be- fore the war, ‘Rents have been soar- ing until they have reached a point where many- cannot pay.

No one ever went to war over a boarding house, but men all through the centuries have died: defending their homes. That is the beauty of home ownership, that is'the ‘feature that makes it es- sential to, the continued welfare and rogress of any nation. One of the most attractive materials that can be used in home construction, one’ that ‘lends itself to a very wide _range of treatment is stucco, either magnésite or portland cement. This material can be applied equally suc- cessfully over frame, hollow tile, brick or concrete tile. The beautiful home shown. in the accompanying illustra- tion. is built of hollow tile with stucco exterior.and presents a very pleasing and appealing picture, one that will demand the attention of every sincere shomeseeker. This house is buflt on square lines with a hip roof, a_type of architecture that ‘has nany advantages the most prominent one being its economy: in cost. There are no special alcoves or bay windows that require special work, and consequently the cost does. not mount up into large figures. One of the striking features of this Eouse is the sun parlor at one'side. It is accessible from the outside through artistic French doors which are also found in the living rooms. On the first /floor are three large and B 3 dining room, and kitchen. *® The living room’is a great spaciout foom, 15 feet 6 inches by 28 feet, d signed to be the recreation center ant At one side is an open room extends room is not quite as large as the liv- ing room, but ample for the needs of a’ real family. It opens into the sun parlor through French doors. Direct- |/ ly to the rear of this room is the kitchen. Conveniently close by is a ‘comfortable rooms, " the llving room,s play room of the family and n-,lendn.g brick fireplace: and on both ends are doors with sup- blementary casement windows. ‘This nds the full depth’ of ‘the’ house.

There Is also a small lav- latory at the end of the reception hall. Upstairs the sleeping rooms are.lo- cated, four in all. out onto a balcony over the sun par ilor.
