In the palmy days of its existence the Cafe Anglais in Paris was greatly | affected by wealthy Americans. In | this resort the charges soared sky high, | and it was considered bad form to ask the price of anything on the menu. | You simply ordered what struck your | fancy and were expected to pay smil- ingly when the bill was presented. | Julius Chambers was invited by a ‘friend to dine there once, and in the Brooklyn Eagle he tells of his experi- | ence: if | “Being asked to order the dinner for ' my friend, I made it as simple as pos- | sible. A bisque soup, salmon with | young potatoes, one small capon with | | fine herbs, asparagus, tarts, Camem- | | bert cheese and coffee. My friend did | | not drink wine, and I ordered for my- | self a bottle of ‘the red wine of the house.’ “Everything was excellent, and [ i fully expected the bill to be 80 to 100 francs ($20).

He said he had gone to ; the Cafe Anglais, ordered luncheon, be- ginning with cold salmon. A whole | fish was brought, and after a small | first helping he liked it so well that he | took a second spoonful. He noticed | that the fish was not taken from the | table when the rest of his meal was | brought. When he got his bill he was; charged for the whole salmon—60 | | francs ($12). He was assured it was a | | rule of the house that a second helping | indicated he wanted the entire fish, and | a charge of that kind was made. | | “I laughed at him, and the more 1) ; laughed the angrier he got.

Beltrami county will be the first of the Northern Minnesota coun- ties to take up the land clearing movement started recently by a land clearing zonvention at Duluth, in an organized way. A meeting to} organize the county was held at Bemidji, July 26, and Wadena coun-; ty had a similar meeting at} Wadena, July 28. According to Mr. Mackenzie, the Beltrami and Wa- intend to combine two lines of enterprise, one that of clearing land for set- tlers and the other helping farm- ers to buy good stock to stock their farm properly. “The plan is to form a corpora-| tion”, said Mr. Mackenzie, “with a| capital stock of $20,000 or more in a county like Beltrami. This cor- poration will stand behind the settlers, and guarantee to the banks their payment for the land clear- ing, or, for the stock the farmers buy. The corporation will not ex- pect to make a profit, but those fund, which will benefit the com- munity by stimulating its develop- ment. “Experience has shown that it is necessary to have some method of financing our development, and we think these county organizations will do the work. There are sey- eral other counties ready to get to work, and we expect meetings held in Koochiching, Carl- ton, Itasca and Pine counties.” | | Forty acres in Section 29, Township 55, Range | 24.

Minnesota’s permanent school fund, her public lands and her busi- ness like way of handling them, is getting a vast amount of pub- licity in the widely circulated magazines in the East. “I re- gard this kind of publicity the most valuable advertising that our stale can get,” says Fred D. 'Sherman, Commissioner of Immi- gration. “When a state can at- tract ithe attention of great east- ern publications in such a manner as to receive favorable comment pen the business methods of ' conducting her affairs, much bene- fit is derived.” ‘A recent issue of the Youth’s Companion says, editorially: ‘Most of the states to which the National government has made large grants of land find little szat- isfaction in telling how they have dispesed of if. To this rule Minnesota is a notable exception, tard the story of its public lands is Icth a rekuke to other states that have squandered their valu- elle grants and a lesson to the states that still have natural re- sources worth preserving. While other states were selling their public lands for a dollar or so an acre ard using the money for current. expenses, Minnesota was selling timber off its lands at a gocd figure, and then selling the land itself for agricultural purposes for five dollars an acre; it put the total proceeds into a permanent fund fer the benefit of ‘its schools and of its charitable and penal institutions. The fund now amounts to almost $29,000,000, ard gives Minnesxta a larger school.fund than that of any state in the Unicon. Four neighboring states, to which the national gov- ernment was not less generous in allotting public lands, have all. together funds of only $16,000,000.

Anything that interferes with the | flow of blood through the veins may bring on an attack. Pressure from a | tight garter and very severe muscular exertion are often exciting causes. Per- | | sons who are obliged to stand for sev- eral hours at a time, like policemen, washerwomen and saleswomen, are of- ten subject to this trouble. Under or- dinary conditions the blood in the legs must run up hill constantly in order to regain the heart. In the case of those who stand most of the day the blood has to work hard hour after hour in order to overcome the force of gravity. and as a result the veins gradually en- large and harden. In mild cases of varicose veins, espe- cially in young and otherwise healthy | people, the symptoms are very slight. There is a feeling of weight in the leg | and a dull ache toward the end of the day. The ache is soon relieved by the patient’s resting with the leg somewhat raised so that the blood can flow back more easily. Sometimes painful cramps complicate the trouble, and the cramp is likely to return again and again until life becomes a burden. More serious complications are throm- bosis (or the clotting of the blood in the vein) and phlebitis (or inflamma- tion of a vein). Often a form of ec- zema appears in the skin of the leg, or an ulcer may arise. When’ varicose yeins are very troublesome surgical treatment is advisable. but the milder cases can be much relieved by rest and proper bandaging.—Youth’s Companion, New Line of Fine White Felt Hats for Midsummer —These Hats are strictly up-to-date.

The state of Minnesota has eccom- plished great good for the producers of grain by establishing a system of inspection, putting commission merchants under bond, and gener- ally regulating the handling of this particular type of farm products. Can anybody imagine a reason why the same service should not be performed for the farmers who produce other commodities than grain? Certainly everybody can think of many reasons why the state should perform this service. Every commission merchant in the state is supposed to give a bond to the state. If he deals in grain or hay, he thereby comes under state regulation; and the grain commis- sion business, at least, is the clean- estin the state. Complaints of mis- treatment of producers by commis- sion merchants are heard so seldom that they are practically non-exis-! tent. But if the commission merchant handles other produce than grain or hay, the giving of a bond seems to be largely a perfunctory operation andmeaningless. Itismerely ‘“‘con- ditioned on the faithful performance of his duties as a commission mer- chant.”” Probably the merchant could be sued on this bond if he mis- treated a customerand the customer were aggressive enough to make a fight; but there is no inspection whatever, and no such machinery for the protection of the producer as there is in the case of grain. _ Why, therefore, should the grain inspection department not be en- larged so that its machinery will work for the regulation of the pro- duce commission business’ as well as for the regulation of the gsain commission business, and will pro- tect the producer of potatoes as well as the producer of wheat? We havea fancy that sucha system might eliminate some of the abuses, atleast some of the grounds for com- plaint, in the produce commission business, and that it might work out for the welfare both of the producer and the consumer. _ Certainly the plan is worth study- ing, and worth experimenting with if it commendsitself to the eet of the legislature.—Duluth lerald. the timber and of the land to the settlers the state will double its present permanent fund before many years have passed. More im- portant still, it owns 40,000 acres of land in-which there are rich -cercsits of iron. The state has leased the iron-ore land for long periods of advantageous terms. The land has already yielded $3,000,000, and under the present contracts it will yield about 150,000,000 in ‘the next generation. Thus, by 1950, Minnesota expects to have aper- manent fund of fully $200,000,000, which will yield at four per cent, $8,000,000 a year for its schools and other public institutions. ‘The care of this fund is an im- portant part of the business of the state government, which acts in the capacity of trustee. Of the present fund of nearly $29,000,000, about $7,000,000 is invested in the bonds of other states, $15,000,000 has been lent to counties, cities and townships within the state, and ‘he rest, drawing interest at four per cent, is in contracts of sale for farming lands. Minnesota deserves the heartiest congratulations cf the other states for the far sighted wisdom of its early iawimakers, end for the fidel- ity with which its officials of later vears have guarded their trust. Such a splendid necord of efficiency and hotesty gives new -heart, to those who are working for the welfare of states, that have been jess thrifty.” A Tale of Red Tape. Among the tales of red tape the fol- lowing should hold a high place: M. Roger Cavailhon, a young French gen- tleman rider, who had won his hun- dredth steeplechase, was drawn for the conscription and had to serve for a year. He asked to be placed in the cavalry, explaining with due modesty that he was not unknown as a horse- man. The military council of revision refused the request on the ground that as his period of service was only one year he would not have time to learn to ride. Setting Him Right.

Rye, sown about September 10, makes one of the best spring pas- tures. It starts early (a week or ten days ahead of the grasses, ordi- narily) and makes a vigorous growt Sheep and small pigs may be turned om it when four or five inches high; and; if the land is not overstocked, it will provide good pasture for three or four weeks. The season of rye pasture in Min- to May 10; in some localities the dates may be somewhat later. When sown for the purpose of pasturage, seed should be used at the rate of 2 to 2 1-2 bushels per acre. Fall rye sown in the spring will not make satisfactory growth, end it rusts badly in the warm weather. Following the use of the land for rye pasture there is am- ple time for the growth of acrop of rye for grain or acrop of fodder or ensilage corn. If desired the land may be plowed and additional small grain crops sown for pastur- age purposes.—Andrew Boss, agri- HAWKINS TO BUILD DAM AT O'BRIEN Work to Be Commenced at Once —Filter Also to be Installed.

Will Try Ripening Corn. A. M. Sisler, the Laprairie farm- er, has 28 rows of corn that he is trying to bring to maturity. The object of experimenters for some years past has been to find a species of corn that will ripen in this latitude, and Mr. Sisler be- lieves he has secured the proper variety. The seed was secured from a farmer in the vicinity of Bemi- ‘dji) who is said to have suc=_ ceeded in raising matured corn during the past two years. This is a line of experimentation that more of our farmers would do well €to follow, as it would meam the extensive culture of this very im- portant staple should it prove suc- cessful.
