QAnaox. m. m. JMHTO. OU 9. SAJTB, S<or. Which Was It? A supposedly insane man with a revolver and a Bible tried to reach Governor Eberhart last week. Ques tion iswhich was he about to use? It Was Nicely Planned. The assassination of Madero and Suarez, deposed Mexican officials yes terday, was an easy way out of the predicament in which the new gov ernment found itself. It could not summarily order Madero executed since the note from the United States protesting against, such inhuman treatment. By the assassination, the government is relieved,of this respon sibility and its decision is well exec uted. Why a State Income Tax? A measure is now before the state legislature calling for a. Mate income tax It was not so very long ago that the state memorialized congress as being in favor of a federal income tax. Is not the federal tax sufficient? Taxes in Minnesota are high enough now to provide for the needs of the state if the money is not squandered. The people of the north country feel that their tax burden ia heavy now and will not welcome any addition. In the Banana Belt. Last Friday one of. the worst win ter storms of the season- visited Southern North Dakota, South Dako ta, Southern Minnesota and Wiscon sin and Northern Iowa. These por tions of these states were covered with a thick blanket of snow, trains were blocked, telegraph and tele phone wires were downed, and traf fic conditions generally were demor alized. Friday in Bemidji was a clear day not warm but comfortable for win- ter. People who wish to escape the .rigors of a hard winter should settle in the park country of Northern Min nesota. The Three Georges. With but one change in the per sonnel of the city council, it is con- sidered probable that George Kirk will be reappointed water clerk. This appointment is sure to meet with the general approval of the voters as Mr. Kirk has shown himself conscientious in his work during the past year. Those who pay water bills know that Mr. Kirk is not a minute behind in the presentation of his bills and his books are kept in first class shape. In George Stein, George Rhea and George Kirk, Bemidji is fortunate in having three Georges who "do it" properly. To lose any onL_Qf the three would spoil a rare combination of city clerks. It is to-be hoped that the council will reappoint Mr. Kirk. House File 137. House File 137 calls for an eight hour law for women. This is one of the most humane measures which has come before the legislature at this session and is being eagerly, watched by those interested in the general welfare of the working women of Minnesota. It is not as noticeable in Bemidji as in the larger cities of the state, but the working of women for long periods during the day has a strong tendency to break up the home and so destroy the basic unit of our American government and life Where the cities are big and dis tances to work are long, the- time consumed in labor is added to by the time taken going to and from the place of employment. y~.$#:r The young woman who-goes into a factory and^'-WOTks^froin nine to twelve hours a day many times un fits herself for the highest privilege of womenmotherhood. The moth er who is forced by unfavorable, cir^ cumstances to earn a livelihood for herself and her children cannot give her family the personal attention it needs- if she must spend the greater part of her waking hours in a fac tory, if the mothers of today are not i 1' given the most .favorable conditions in which to live and rear their fam what kind of men will the state have tomorrow? Through their unions, the men of the -state have been able to gain an eight hour day. The women have ap pealed to the legislators. Will their appeal be~in vain? V. -*2*,-"..? Occult Annihilated. Everything is being done to "put down what is called the modern crav ing for the occult. But, taking all things into consideration, it is really dobutful whether it is not a mistake to check the only means we now em ploy- to- keep our- imagination alive. This ls-an age frealism. .A walk around the Christmas fairs and shops convinced us that even in nursery land imagination is checked. The chief characteristic of the season's toys is realism, and even the babies' books give the wee things facts rath er than fancies.

In the United States the greater portion of the crop is grown in the upper Mississippi valley. Illi nois,. Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Nebraska are the leading states in the production of oats. The annual crop, in 1912, of the United States, was about 1,420,000,000. The market grades of oats depend on-jtherjeolor of the grain and its free dom\from mixture-and from dirt.

Peed Value of Oat Straw. Oat straw is more palatable- and more nutritious.than the straw of any other grain and is nearly -equal to corn stover. In addition to its use as a feed it is largely used for bedding and for the formation of manure: Its fertilizing value is about $3 a ton.
