OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS SEND THEM BACK In one of our large cities a feud has broken out in the for- eign quarter and is raging with relentless fury. Already eight murders have been committed and the police have been unable to obtain even a single clue to the perpetrators. The foreigners| simply shrug their shoulders and refuse to answer, This leads a police captain to recommend the enactment of a law which would enable the deportation o any foreigner| who so refuses to divulge such information as may be in his pos-| session. iy It would be a good law, and it would be even better if it were rigidly enforced. | Our loose immigration laws allow these assassins to come| into our midst and disgrace the better class of residents from their country. 1 The man who withholds knowledge of a murder is guilty| himself in the eyes of the law. He should be punished, and then deported. We have not invited such to come to us, and we will not weep if they leave us. If they will not leave of their own accord, they should be helped along by the governmental foot. 0— TOO LONG SIGHTED There is a great tendency on the part of the American peo-, ple to make a close study of conditions in other parts of the| world. This in itself would be wise and praiseworthy, were it not for the fact that in so doing, we consume much time that, should be devoted to the scrutiny of affairs nearer home. The haphazard manner in which many of our public af«i fairs are conducted is evidence of this fact. If the public at large would make a sincere and determined effort to widen its scope of knowledge upon national, state and| local requirements we would be able to send representatives to ‘Washington who would work in harmony with our desires, and | not at random as it now too often the case. “In this way-we would have a congress more representative of the true sentiments of the people, a congress more devoted to the welfare of all of the people as a whole and less so to certain interests that work while we sleep. Long sight is a desirable possession, but only when it does not obscure the vision at closer range. % Minnesota produces more butter than wheat. . The value of the butter made here during the year ending June 30 last was $80,000,000. If this year's wheat crop brings in $60,000,000, all present expecta- tions will be exceeded. o ‘While. Minnesota is well called “the bread and butter state,” perhaps in the interest vf accuracy and logical continuity this binominal title should be reversed so as to read “the butter and bread state.” It is rather hard to realize that with us wheat no longer is king and has been dethroned and succeeded by the gentlq cow as queen. It seems that there is no Salic Law of the farm which forbids the descent of the crown of production thruogh any! but male lines. Anyway, this being the age of fe- male supremacy, the outcome should have been anticipated once the contest between King Wheat and Queen Cow began. Not only does our butter production exceed our wheat production in value, but it is increasing all the time, while wheat is gradually being shvoed into the background in this era of diversified farming. In 1910 we made 95,000,000 pounds of butter, while during the last year the 140,000,000- pound mark was reached. We may expect very large additions to our dairy industry during the | next decade. Northern Minnesota is rapidly crowding to the front as a but- ser region and as the cut-over lands are settled, more and more attention will be paid to this steady source of wealth. And just to emphasize how much of a queen the cow really is, it might be added that the value of Minnesota butter produced each year is greater than the value at the mines of the annual iron ore output of the state.— St. Paul Pioneer Press. Although prices have crashed, American farmerssare raising 829,000,- 000 bushels of wheat this year, says the government’s June crop report. This means no danger of food shortage despite hard times. For real, practical patriotism, you can’t beat the farmer. Plenty of food for everyone, but even at that not all will be able to buy it next winter.

You can always know this much before you enter a store. If it’s clothing, you know how well it should wear and what the style should be.
