Official County and Village Paper. STATE CAPITOL NEWS. J. Wl. McConnell Appointed State Supt. of Education. Demon Rum got by in the recent election with less than a thousand majority to his credit, so the returns say, but even though booze won, his future is by no means secure. There are rocks ahead and the pity of it all its that needed legislation entire ly foreign to the liquor traffic is due to be involved- Dry leaders in Min nesota are) even now girding their lions for the fray and the battle is due to start with the opening of the next session of the legislature. It is due to figure in the organization of the house and it is due to have an up stage position in the shape, of numerous bills designed to either el iminate the traffic entirely or to so hamper its manufacture and sale as to make the business unprofitable. This means trades and complications and you can bet your last dollar that those concerned will not overlook anything in an effort to embarrass The odd feature of the dry and wet fight was the large number of so called dry counties that either voted wet or else gave a dry majority so small that it practically counted for nothing. The big support fpr the dry amendment came from, the popu lation centers where the'saloon still flourishes. As former (Governor Van Sant aptly put it, the Idry localities weiQ rid of the saloon and they eith er did not care or elset were fearful that their present surrejptitious sup ply of liquor would be (denied them. To the average man in public life the results in the recent wet and dry light are in the,nature of a dis appointment. The, most of them would have preferred a dry victory but if it had to' be wet they wanted it uvrrwhelminoly so. Ther fiist '#Vm!cU have put a herd of so-called reformers whose principal interest is for revenue only out of business for all time and the second would have at least minimized their future ac tivities. For nearly a quai'ter of a century Minnesota has biennially been in the throes of a liquor fight of some kind- Much needed legiisla tion has been strangled because of its presence and millions of dollars have been wasted. It will be the same again this coming year. State Went Wet by Small Majority, justice by Governor Burnquist fol lowing the death of Justice G. L. offer any explanation for Mr mer superintendent of education would have to walk the plank and he did Next week should see the launch ing of plans for the organization the coming legislature. Both house and senate are involved this time, but in the case of the senate little trouble is expected- Quite a few senators have already consulted with Lieutenant Governor Frankson and the report is that there will be lit tle friction. In the house the selec tion of a speaker is the big thing and just now interest is centered in W. I. Nolan of Minneapolis, whom many think will pull down the plum. The names of Theo. Christianson of Dawson and Chas. Warner of Aitkin, have been mentioned, but if they have any designs on the place they have not made such public. Rep Nolan whose home is Minneapolis comes pretty near being 'a house vet eran. State legislative circles first knew him in 1903 and almost continuously ever Mii^^jpoliSs.vf|r^ ®^jpatws|m diktriiibs.

The Non-Partisan league did not fare very well in the legislative re turns. Wise ones who have been scanning the lists say the League will have less than nine iri the sen ate and not over thirty members in the house. The number of new mem bers in the house though is consid erably over half. Dozens of the old timers fell by the wayside and their places were taken by unknowns. In the house it is said there will be a number of contests whilte at least two are staged for the senate. Here the contestants will likely be Sena tor George Sullivan of Stillwater and L. C. Spooner of Morris- Both failed by a elbse vote. Unfriendly sources ar3 busy with a story to the effect that the State Safety Commission will go out of business the first of the year, but svlch is hardly likely. While a cess ation of world war hostilities has in a measure minimized its activities yet there is much for the commis sion to do. While some few have re garded the commission in the light of an interloper, it has been of great years of its existance has done a world of (good. It has justified its existance in "many ways and has aid ed materially in the state's war work. Carl G. Malmberg, former repre sentative from Forest Lake, Wash ington county, it is said would not be averse to being named chief clerk of the next house. Another who is said to have designs qn the job is O. Hage, a banker from Crookston Former chief clerk, Oscar Arneson may go after the place again and if he does his election is pretty near certain. One of the election surprises was the defeat of Odin Halden, county auditor of St. Louis county. Early reports were to the effect that he had gotten by, but Odin brought word of his defeat to the capitol himself. Odin Halden had served as auditor of St. Louis county for near ly a quarter of a century and was regarded as a fixture. He brought to the office many reforms and was responsible for much good legisla tion relating to this particular of fice. c'al school'aid among the graded and Farmer legislation it is expected will figure largely in the coming sesr sion. It was a feature during^ the past session1, and, the farmers got most of what they wanted. They would have got the remainder if they had stood together, but they got into a •fight among themselves, and spoiled their cake- The Non partisan League members will -try to lead the farmers at the comjng session, and it will be interesting to see how far they, will go. VANCE CHAPMAN, "The County Chairman." SHOW WAY TO CHEAPER PORK. Pennsylvania farm bureaus, work ing with a number of hog raisers, have used feeding experiments con ducted by the Pennsylvania State College to demonstrate that at least one-half .of the. grain feed bill in raising hogs can be saved by provid :RyATION Warnings ,We ls«ued by Fcderal'Food Administrator ThatGasolint Supply Ss Not" Abundant. .t A fr*1 There is a very urgent necessity, according to the Federal Food Ad ministration j,for the saving of gaso line, a great deal of which is wasted by leaving motors running" after stopping cars. An investigation1 indicates that thousands of gallons of gasoline are being wasted in this manner. Tests have indicated that a Ford delivery car with a careless driver will waste about 40 gallons. a week, while a thoughtful and careful driver who shuts off his engine will average less than 25 gallons per week, though the number of deliveries have been increased. It is conceded that in ev ery city and town in Minnesota both pleasure and commercial trucks are seen standing while the drivers are making calls or delivering' goods. These men thoughtlessly neglect to shut off their engines or because they are too lazy to crank their cars. It- is possible that they may not know they are doing injury to their country at a time of national crisis because, they are through careless ness and thoughtlessness, helping to defeat the Government's aim of con serving- gasoline for use in conduct ing the war abroad where the de mand for gasoline is so.~/»?r6'rmous. Public opinion ahoii'ld discourage this practice asi'd the owners of cars should C6 it that their employees f&llt off the engine whenever, the car is stopped. There is no argument against the fact that this will mean a practical economy of no small im portance. A SALVAGE CAMPAIGN. A national campaign for the salv aging of waste materials is to be started on or about November 20 hroughout the country as a part of the war program. The waste mater ials it is desired especially to re claim are paper, cotton and woolen rags, scrap metal's* and rubber- The mayor of each city is requested to form a local Waste Reclamation Council to conduct the salvage cam paign of the community. This coun cil it to be made up of ten members one from each of ten war organiza tions, including the Red Cross, the National Y. M. C. A., the National Council of Women, and Farmers' Na tional Headquarters. AMERICA WILL DO HER DUTY. And now the slogan is: "Food will win peace," the right kind of peace, for the starving millions of Europe. Unless they can secure food during the coming hard months of winter, the horrors of the long war will pale before the miseries and chaos and anarchy and the harvest of famine and sickness to follow upon the sil ence of the guns. It was the high privilege and good fortune of Uncle Sam to deliver the decisive punch that stretched Prus-/ sian militarism flat on the ground It is the duty of America to feed the world during the period of dis order and convulsions and general want that witll precede a final read justment of national) rebirth in Evl- rope and international relations. As America did snot fail as a savior of the liberty of the world, neither will she fail, as the good Samaritan to stricken and blleeding humanity.— Minnesota in the War. AN EXPENSIVE JOB. The reconstruction of France will cost $8,000,000,000, and it will take one hundred years to finish the job. This is not a wild guess it is the sober statement of a French engi neer, Louis Chevillion, who, as mem ber of a French commission, went over the ruined sections of France to prepare data for the work of re construction. There are' two million dead, says Mr. Chevillion, and it is unlikely that more than 40 per cent of those who lived in the ruined sections will go back. All who were not captured by the Germans have gone to other parts of France, and many will stay where they now are. During the war about half a million people who were in the districts occupied by the Germans have found their way back to France by way of Switzerland, and these people will also settle in new districts. The average French man who will go back to his old place is not anxious to live in a tem porary abode. He would prefer to go in his. old farm, dig a hole in the ground and live in that fashion until he scan put up a permanent house. The top soil in vast areas has* been ruined to a depth of eighteen feet by shells and is utterly useless, ac cording to Mr. Chevillion. "The only thing the French can do with, it is hbndxted Kansas—^More women were .elected- to office iri Kansas this year than in anyj previous year. While reports are not complete on they women candidates '(throughout the state, it" is known that almost one^half of all the county officers in Kansas .will ,, be women. when the change in officers is made in Janu ary. W The* first woman ever to be elected to a state office is Miss Lizzie Woos-' ter, .the Republican candidate for state superintendent of public in struction. Miss Wooster defeated W. D- Ross for the nomination im the primary, and defeated Miss, Eliza eth Warning, Democrat, itrthe elec tion. Witr the exception of county com mi: loners, women now hold every kind of office available in the coun ties. There were no candidates for county commissioners among the wo men. No members of the legislature are women. But there were candi dates for all other offices in many cases women rah on both tickets. And with a very few exceptions the women were elected. More than two thirds of the county superintendent ,6f schools are women. Nearly one half the county clerks, county regis ters of deeds, and clerk of the court are women, and one-third of the county treasurers. It is believed that Kansas has a larger proportion of women office holders than any other state. While LOAD UP COMING AND GOING. The State Safety Commission has Undertaken the organization and the financing of a Highway Transport Committee for the state, this action being taken at its last meeting. C. M. Babcock of the Highway Commission will direct the work and it will be undertaken under the ex perienced supervision of the State Commission of which Mr. Babcock is chairman. The purposes of a Higway Trans port Commission, briefly, are to re lieve to a. large extent railroad freight congestion and to provide return loads for motors and trucks engaged in city and country hauling. It will aliso encourage the use of motor trucks for freight hauliing from and to the larger cities and villages to the terminals. The Transport Committee has also been authorized by the Safety Com mission to prepare military road and bridge maps of the state and funds have been set aside to pay some of the necessary expenses of this work.
