This is Minnesota Newspaper Week in Minnesota, which editors have ar ranged to exploit, in printer's ink, the state's interests. The articles in these columns today will be followed by articles in succeeding issues, all written to show what Minnesota is and has. THE STATE OF MINNESOTA (By Governor Winfield S. Hammond.) The state of Minnesota is loved by all who live within its borders. It has something that appeals to men and women of all trades and profes sions. It offers opportunities to rich and poor alike. Probably no other state has more varied resources. Minnesota leads in many things. It was once famed as a great wheat growing state. Now it furnishes also the best butter for the bread made from Minnesota wheat. Minnesota has more co-operative creameries than any other state and has won ten of the twelve banners offered by the National Buttermakers' associa tion for the best butter. It is also becoming a leading corn and beef producing state. In 1914 Minnesota produced 91,000,000 bush els of corn and 43,000,000 bushels of wheat. The value of the corn crop that year was $47,000,000, and of the wheat crop $43,800,000. Minnesota produces more iron ore than all the other states put to gether and more than any foreign nation except Germany. Minnesota has a larger school fund than any other state. The school and university fund now totals $34,- 000,000 and the state still owns large areas of land and great timber and mineral resources which, it is be lieved, will in time bring $200,000,- 000 into its trust funds. Our state was a pioneer in agri cultural and industrial education This work was begun twenty-five years ago and now there are nearly 4,000 taking the agricultural courses at the state university (including the summer courses). There are de partments of agriculture and indus trial training in 140 of our 200 high schools and more than 100 con solidated rural schools offer similar A FRIEND TO THE WORKINGMAN Five years ago I was so troubled with kidney trouble and inflamma tion of the bladder that I had to cease working my farm. Life looked dark to me until I heard of Dr. Kil mer's Swamp-Root through a cured friend. I tried a bottle at once. After using five or six bottles I felt fine and have continued to work as I had before my affliction. I want to state that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a kidney medicine that will cure and I owe my good work during the past five or six years to it. Yours very truly, C. W. MORRIS, Route 5, Box 81 Prescott, Ark. Subscribed and sworn to before me, this 27th day of March, 1912. O. B. GORDON, Notary Public. This is to certify that Mr. C. W.

It**************** MESSAGE TO NORTHWEST (By Cyrus Northrop.) President Emeritus, Univer sity of Minnesota. I am an old man now, and have seen many things in the world. I have seen this great country that we speak of as the northwest come, in my lifetime, to be populous and rich. The forest has fallen before the farm ers, the field has blossomed and the cities have risen to greatness. If there is anything that an old man 80 years of age could say to a people among whom he has spent the happi est days of his life, it is this: We live in the most blessed country in the world. The things we have ac complished are only the beginning. As the years go on, and always we increase our strength, our power and our wealth, we must not depart from the simple teachings of our youth. For the moral fundamentals are the same and unchangeable. Here in the northwest we shall make a race of men that shall inherit the earth. Here in the distant years, when I and others who have labored with me shall long have been forgotten, there will be a power in material accom plishment, in spiritual attainment, in wealth, strength and moral influ ence the like of which the world has not *yet seen. This I firmly believe. And the people of the northwest, moving ever forward to greater things, will accomplish all this as they adhere always to the moral fundamentals, and not otherwise. ********4*******+ SOME MINNESOTA FACTS Has 632 legal newspapers.
