The navigation interests, most particularly benefited by this system, in addition to Brainerd, are steam- boats operating on the Mississippi river from St. Paul down. The effect of the project-and freight rates is far-reaching, as it makes steamboat transportation » possible between Brainerd and Grand Rapids, where freight would otherwise have to be earriea by wagon, and it makes it possible to maintain the riverat St. Paul at or abovea three-foot stage, when it would otherwise be liable to fall to zero or below. The railroad freight from St, Paul to St.Louis,600 miles,is oaly 5 per cent higher than the rate from St. Paul to Chicago, 400 miles. The steamboat freight rates to common points be- low St. Paul are about one-third lower than those of,the railroads. The effect-of the reservoirs ip mitigating the floods of the upper Mississippi is pronounced. Were it not for the holding back in the reservoirs of flood waters of a drain— age basin of 3,265 square miles in extent, the flood height between Sandy river and Aitkin would often be several feet higher than it is dur- ing the spring and early summer. During the year necessary repairs were made to the dams and quarters at Wionibigosbish and Leech lake dams and’ Bena, Minn.

You love somebody. What makes you? Have you got any business if you don’t know why? Let your thoughts get away from trusts and money and politics: for a little while. Get your intellectual probe and go downinto your heart and see if you can figure this out. Write us 100 words about itif you come toany conclusion. Just sign your initials and mail to the editor: * Why is love? loving Recent publications in the East have quoted some one as saying that it is a crime to, grow old. That fellow knows. A little care exercised in liv ing will prevent any one from be- coming an old map, no matter how} many years he has lived on earth. | They say that amanis asold as be} feels. That is true, as can be seen by the great number of men who are old in years only, but who physically | and mentally are in an excellent | state of preservation. The word! ‘preservation’? is hardly the proper one, as that ‘means that a decay would take place if not prevented, when the truth of the matter is that ‘many of usof theolder generation are steadily advancing in strength. There seems to be no good reason advanced why a man should retire at 62 or 70 from active parficipation in life, provided he has’. taken good care of himseif. By gvod care is not meant that aman should not drink what he wants to orsmoke if he wishes: but he should use judgment in his mode of living, A systematic course of liying will do wonders for anyone. Eat three meals a day and eat them ata regular timeeach day. That has been proven to be a goud rule. Another rule with .regard tosleepshould be en- forced by law, if necessary. A man should stay in bed at least eight hours at a time. The future welfare of the state is ip the hands of men. A strong and mercial size cannot ordiuarily enter it. For the suryey of Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, an allotment of $7,000 has been made, and the amount expended up to June 30, 1907, was $5,718.73. The survey has been completed, and and an edition of 3,000 charts printed by the photolithography. The charts are sold at 50 cents each or $4.50. —St. Paul Dispatch. . Why Did Adam Love Eve? Why do you love that girl instead of some other girl? Why don’t you love ber sister? Why does she Jove you instead of loving your best friend? Your best friend is a fine fellow. He has as many good qualities as you have; maybe more. He. is really *more worthy of her love that you are. But she loves.you and she dosen’t love him. . As fur her, you feel that she is the prettiest, the dearest aad the most sensible Womau in the whole world. Of all the girls you know, she would tuake the most ideal wife. This is either true or not true. If it is true. why @osen’t your friend think the same as you do? How is it possible that be should think some other girl superior to yours? Perhaps it’s a matter of judgment. Perhaps it’s because you and your girl (or your wife) are wiser than other people are. Can explain it by saying, “They would feel just tbe same as ‘we feel if they only knew as much as we know about each other.” It isn’t the result of similar tastes. Men who like music often marry giris who don't know the difference be- tween a bass fiddle and an ocarina. Girls with domestic tastes select men who haven’t spent an evening at } Think of the happy married couples where the man likes books and the girl dosen’t, where she is thrifty and he inclined to be wasteful, where she | likes music and he hates it. taste. ; Is it growth of sentiment, then?} Does the man decide that this giri would make a pretty good wife, und then teach himself to shut his eyes to the charms of every other woman? Or is it the result of association— | that this particular man and this particular girl were thrown together, and love just happened? . This is only anew turntean old question; not “What is love?” but “Why is love? Why did Adam love Eve? Because there wasn’t anybody else around? Was Adam obliged to love somebody, or something, and did le take Eve because she was all he could tind It isn’t; “| for their own domestic use,from Nov, | purpose of sale, which application {dollar ($1.00) for healthy man is far more capable of exercising govud judgment on all matters than is one whose mind is distracted by body ailments. With that idea in view and with a universad knowledge that it is correct, it seems as if the state has a full right to pass laws with regard to the care a man shall take of his own body. “A start has been made in this line. Witness the city board of health. The object of this is to protect society from the actions of one man. But if the authority is there, and the cause 1& just, the state has a perfect right to protect itself trom its citizens, even if it requires that a man be protected from himself. Whitefish Season Opens Nov. 10th. License tnust be secured from State Game and Fish Commission at St. | Paul. The lawful season for netting whitefish opens November 10th (to- morrow) anc as many haye asked concerning the provisions of the’ law as to netting, we herewith reproduce that. section of the game law that covers the matter referred to: “In all of the inland lakes in this state, permission having been grant- ed therefor, but not otherwise, a net may be used for the purpose of tak- ing and catching whiteflsh or trelipies 10th to Dec. 10th of the same year. Said net shall not exceed one bun- dred (100) feet in length and three feet in width. and the meshes of said net shall not be less than three and one-half (3+) 1uches in size of mesh when the same is extended. The sale of whitefish and trelipies so caught is hereby prohibited. Any person desiring to use any such net shall tirst make application fora permit therefor to the commission, in writing, and shall state tbat the said net is to be used by them for the purpose’ of obtaining fish for their own domestic use and not for the shall be accompanied bya fee of onej each net, but no person shall be permitted to use more than two (2) of such nets, and such: fish shall not be sold or offered for sale.” There is another! provision of the law relative to the storing of game, which it might be weli for everyone to read. “Section 60.—Cold storage. The placing or receiving within or stor- age of any game bird orgame animal, or any part thereof, in any cold storage plant is hereby prohibited and made unlawful.” Srrayep—Came to my place in except the serpent and the apple tree?
