Benson has been dismissed from his posi tion as deputy inspector in the . state grain department. E. S. Reishus, chief inspector, wielded are ax, and Benson left the service of the state Saturday morning. V 1 Benson was not dismissed as a result of the commission's decision that . his "charges" were not proved. He was dis missed before the commission made up its mind. They met and decided on their finding Saturday afternoon, after Reishus had put a stop to Benson's connection with the force. ■ '. Reishus is in Duluth to-day, but at his office it was given out that it was a mat ter of discipline. Benson, they say, made a mistake, and discipline could not be maintained if Benson was retained. Commission Not Consulted. The commissioners were not consulted, and had nothing to do with Benson's dis missal. The chief inspector has theoret ically, absolute power to appoint and dis miss, his appointments being subject to confirmation. The rule is for the inspec tor to do the bidding of the commission, but Reishus is not the appointee of the present commission, and is only holding over by their sufferance until the close of the crop year. He exercised the right of dismissal in the Benson case without consulting any one. It was done because Benson made trouble for his superior officers.

COLLEGE LOAN FUND General Society Daughter- of the Revolution Will Establish One. At the annual convention of the General Society of the Daughters of the Revolution It was-decided that the Daughters take for their work the coming-and succeeding years the formation of a fund to be at the service of any members of the Society of the Daugh ters of the Revolution, j a daughter of any member of the Society of the Daughters of the Revolution, or any woman eligible for admission to the Society of the Daughters of the Revolution,' who desires to obtain a loan order to secure a college education. The money is to be given as a loan, and when refunded, to be loaned out again. Miss Sterling, president-general, stated that it would not require a large fund to enable the Daughters of the Revolution to make several $300 loans. The $5,000 fund for the Valley Forge memo rial was completed and it was-decided to raise an additional $2,000 for incidental ex penses in connection with placing the monu ment, macadamizing the approach, etc. The shaft is to be of granite, 40 feet high, with a bas relief In bronze reproduced from Wil liam Bruerkner's ' painting, "Washington at Prayer at Valley Forge." It- is expected that the monument will be unveiled early in the fall, a plot of ground, 30x33 feet, having been set apart in the field at Valley Forge where the revolutionary heroes are burled, for the monument. *-:"' The Brooklyn Eagle made the following comment on the meeting: "The harmony and dignity that characterized the proceedings of the convention of the General Society of the Daughters of the Revolution which was held in Brooklyn during the past week was In marked contrast to the recent- annual con vocation held at Washington by the Daugh ters of the Revolution Who add American to their title. The weather man was certainly unkind to the Long Island society, D. R., the hostesses of the week; and to the visiting delegates; but the dampness outside did not In the least affect the ardor or spirits of the home representatives and their visitors, for, as one of the general officers -remarked, 'There is so mUch; sunshine within, we do not mind the clouds without.' Miss Adaline W. Sterling of the New Jersey j society, the president-general, contributed greatly to the expeditious and harmonious conduct or "the business during. the two days that sessions were held at the Hotel Margaret by her tact, graclousness and bright, amusing comments."
