A Perfect Separator Oiling System ' Ina machine which is operated at the speed required for a cream separator, perfect oiling is very necessary. The cae Syeei: “= De Laval automatic oiling provides for a constant and liberal supply of CLEAN oiltoevery RURnEE wearing surface of the machine at all times. There are no oil holes to fill up with dirt or perhaps to be neglected altogether, ; and every part is supplied with clean oil from the oil reservoir ‘ automatically and constantly. In other, so-called, automatic oiling systems some of the parts have to be oiled by hand and no provision is made for getting rid of dirt that may get into the oil from the outside or of small particles of metal which come from wear, sothataftera shorttime the oil sup- ply becomes foul and injurious to the finely adjusted wearing parts. DE LAVAL sgitnrs have the,only automatic oiling system which provides for a constant supply of fresh oil and, at the sarie time, the constant discharge of the usedoil together with all worn metal particles or dirt which may have gotten into the used oil. The perfect ‘system of De Laval lubrication means an easier running and a much longer wearing machine. Come in and let ¥ us explain the advantages of De Laval automatic: oiling. i ITASCA MERC. CO. : i GRAND RAPIDS PTL | } Minnesota Legislature Proceedings at the Minzesota State Capitol for the Past Week, SOTSOSOCCCCeOOCCSOOOSOZE" ._- St. Paul, April 21—The House late Baturday repassed the Minnette-Holm- berg-Schwartz bill for the regulation pf telephones and the Nolan bill com firming the right of municipalities to regulate all utilities except telephones, over the Governor’s veto. Both bills now to the senate for repassage or defeat. Passes Very Easily. The Minnette bill, so-called, passed 60 easily that even its friends were surprised, the vote being 95 to 14, eighty being necessary to pass a Dill over a veto. The Nolan bill, however, was passed only after the prettiest fight of the session. The absence of a half-dozen of its foes proved the salvation of the bill. Nolan Bill Called. W. I. Nolan then moved to take from the table his bill, and then asked to have it passed over the veto. “TI am not going to make any argument over this measure,” he said, “as I be- lieve the members know what it is. It applies to every city in the state, but it is néeded just now especially to cover a situation we have in Min- neapolis. Our city council passed an ordinance fixing electric light rates, and the company took the matter in- to court, where Judge C. A. Willard held that the city had no power to determine the rates. This leaves the people of Minneapolis powerless, to accept any rates the company may charge. “If this veto is sustained it will mean a present of about a million dol- lars to the Minneapolis General Elec- trie company.” Nolan Bill Roll-Call. The roll call was then opened, and after the scenes and changes already Telated, it stood as follows: Ayes—Anderson, J., Anderson, W., Barten, Bjorge, Bjornson, Braatelien, Brown, W. .

The senate met at 11 a. m. today, but had a series of special orders set for consideration, and it was a ques- tion whether the repassage of the two bills would be taken up before late in the day at least. Governor A. O. Eberhart, some of whose appointees had been laboring all the past week to line up the house members to sustain the veto, was wait- ing news of the house action in his office. He professed not to be disap- pointed. “I am not surprised at the vote in the house,” he said. “I rather looked from the fact that the house organi- zation was working to pass the bills over the veto.” The governor would not hazard a prediction as to the senate, but evi- dently is pinning hopes in a failure to muster the necessary votes for the two bills in the upper house. They must receive 42 of the 63 senate votes. The Nolan bill originally passed the senate April 8 by a vote of 39 to 5, no effort being made to get a full vote. St. Paul, Aprii 19—For some years | the dairymen of the state have been! trying to get a law passed regulating | the shipment of cream. Senator John- stone fathered a measure in their in- terest at this session. It provides that all shipments of cream for a greater distance than 65 miles must, here- after, be made in refrigerator cars. ! The bill has now passed both senate and house and awaits the Governor's signature. House Refuses to Concur. The house yesterday refused to con- cur in the senate amendments. to the salary bill. These amendments pro- vided, among others, for an increase in the salary of the chief justice from $7,000 to $7,500, and for an increase in the salary of the secrtary of the tax commission, from $2,400 to $2,700. The house has amended the senate reapportionment bill so that the first| unanimous approval of the senate district shall remain as at present. It takes Lincoln county from the pro posed second district, and puts it in the seventh. The third district is the same as now, with Washington coun- ty added, Washington county being taken from the new tenth district, Wright and Meeker counties are add- ed to it. Beltrami is detached from the sixth district, as proposed by the senate, and put in the eighth, and Carleton county is put in the sixth district. It is believed the senate will censent to these changes if the bill is finally passed by the house. The house defeated Mr. Tiegen’s bill prohibiting dealing in futures. The vote was 51 for to 49 against. Presidential Primary Preference. The Lundeen presidential _ prefer. ence primary bill has been unanimous- ly endorsed “by the senate. It pro- vides that the second Tuesday in March shall be primary election day Delegates are elected by congression al districts—two in each. When ¢ voter has voted for delegates he turns to another column in the ballot whick bears the names of candidates for nomination,,and marks his preference Such instruction is binding on the del egates. Pensions for Deserted Wives. The house has passed a bill sup plementary to the mothers’ pensior bill, which provides for the pensioning of deserted wives. Wife deserters, i! arrested, may be put to work on state lands, and part of their wages use¢ to support their families. The house failed to come to any decision with regard to a “blue sky” law. The consideration of proposeé measures of this character was con tinued until Monday. Grain Report is Adopted. The house grain committee. report was adopted by a unanimous vote yesterday after the only feature ob- jectionable to the grain interests, whe were under investigation, was stricken out. This was section 13 intended to whitewash the Equity Co-operative Exchange of the charges made against it and to discredit the senate inves tigation. St. Paul, April 18—The senate yes: terday passed the bill for a consti tutional amendment providing for twc additional judges of the supreme court. By the terms of the bill as passed, the office of clerk of the su preme court is made appointive the patronage to be vested in the judges New Tax Bill. Classification of property for tax ation under the bill as adopted by the senate, in the amendments tc which the house will concur, is, in part, as follows: Section 1, All real and persona! property subject to a general prop erty tax and not subject to any gross earnings or other lieu tax is hereby classified for purposes of taxation as follows: Class 1. Iron ore whether mined or unmined shall constitute class one and shall be valued and assessed at fifty per cent of its true and full value. If unmined it shall be as sessed with and as a part of the real estate in which it is located, but at the rate aforesaid. Class 2. All household goods and furniture shall constitute class two and shall be valued and assessed at twenty-five per cent of the full and true value thereof. Class 3. Live stock, poultry, ail agricultural products, stocks of mer- chandise of all sorts together with the furniture and fixtures used therewith, manufacturers’ materials and manu: factured articles, all tools, implements | and machinery, whether fixtures or otherwise, and all unplatted real es tate, except as provided by class one hereof, shall constitute class three and shall be valued and assessed at thirty- three and one-third per cent-of the true and full value thereof. Class 4. All property not included! in the three preceding classes shall constitute class four and shall be valued and assessed at forty per cent of the full and true value there-} of. House Concurs in Amendments. The house has concurred in the conference committees’ amendments to the primary law. As amended the bill provides for June primaries County and legislative offices are made non-partisan. In case there are only two candidates for a non-partisan nomination or. one candidate by any party for a party nomination as. tq that office no primary will be held. The bill provides for the recognition of the Bull Moose party. Voters to Name Nominee. The voters of Minnesota are to in- struct directly their delegates to the national presidential convention. The Lundeen bill passed the house some weeks ago and yesterday receivd the The governor will sign it. It is aimed to take the juggling of the primary votes out of politicians’ hands. The county and state conven tions are made institutions of the past so far as presidential primaries are concerned. TO AID FARMERS TO SELL New Federal Bureau to Develop Mar- keting of Farm Products. Washington, April 22.—Dr. Thomas N. Carver ef Harvard university, ap- pointed by Secretary Fouston to take charge of the propose @ ‘rural organi- zation service,” a new branch of the department of agriculture designed to aid the farmer along economic, social and co-operative buying and selling lines, will be in Washington within the next day or two to discuss with the department officials plans pre- liminary to starting the new work. Dr. Carver will not give up his duties at Harvard, however, until June 1. The efforts of the service will be di- rected largely to teaching the farmer how better to market his products. Most of the department's activities in the past have been addressed to ques- tions of production rather than to the buying and selling and the human side of farm life. BELGIAN STRIKE SPREADING Half Million Men Now Said to Have _ Quit Work. Brussels, Belgium, April 22—The general strike for equal suffrage in Belgium enters on its second we k with the ranks of the strikers strength- ened by the adhesion of further re- cruits, bringing their total up to near- ly 500,000, according to Socialist com- putations. * Cabinet ministers are determined not to surrender if the government still commands a majority of the chamber of deputies when it reas sembles. The Socialist national convention will meet on Wednesday to discuss the situation. TWO BROTHERS ARE SHOT Fatally Wounded in Quarrel Over Poker Game. Hibbing, Minn., April 22.—Steve Dukvoratanich and his younger broth- er Rade were fatally shot here.

Nobravich was arrested a few hours after the shooting. ~ POPE PIUS ALLOWED TO SIT AT WINDOW Pontiff Stronger and in Much Better Spirits, Rome, April 22.—The pope was in much better spirits and felt stronger. He still suffered somewhat from cough- ing. As the day was sunny the pontift was allowed to rise and sit in an arm: chair in front of the closed window. For the first time since his last re lapse the pope was able to look into the street, which was alive with peo- ple. When he saw that a large number of flags were flying he asked the rea-! son and was informed that it was the anniversary of the foundation of Rome 2,663 years ago. - “Cities grow with age while men de cline,” remarked the pope.

The lower branch of the state leg islature has repassed the Minnette bili for the regulation of telephones and the Nolan bill confirming the right of municipalities to regulate all utilities except telephones over the governors veto. Both bills now go to the senate for repassage or defeat. The Minnette bill passed so easity that even its friends were surprised ) the vote being 95 to 14, eighty being necessary to pass a bill over a vete. The Nolan bill, however, was passed only after the prettiest fight of the session. The absence of a half dozen of its foes proved the salvation of the bill. A filibuster lasting over an hour was resorted to, during which friends of the measure, under the pretext of sending for absent members who had been excused, persuaded enough mem- bers to change from nay to yea te make the necessary eighty votes Most of the absentees, had they beem present, it is believed, would have voted against the bill. The bill woulé then have been lost. NONPARTISAN PRIMARY BILL Measure Passes Both Houses and ts Up to the Governor.
