I WORD OF ADVICE TO UNION HEN As this editorial ia written for your express benefit it is hoped you will take the time to read carefully and give its subject matter your most earnest consideration. You know as well as we, that for many years back the young men of our nation have been flocking to the cities, and in consequence of every line of endeavor, whether it be business enterprise, mechanical trade, or the ordinary vocation of the laborer, is, in the matter of the number of men available, fully up to the maximum of every requirement of good times and in excess of the requirement during seasons of. pression. It would not serve any good pose to discuss here the causes that produce in society this forever ternating between seasons of good times and seasons of hard times. It seems that from the beginning of time prosperity and adversity have been in a constant struggle, with the result that sometimes the one is in the ascendancy' for a time and times the other.

Whatever be the explanation of this phenomenon the man of wisdom anid foresight, will in measurably prosperous times make provisions for the future, and it is our deliberate judgment that there is no more fective way of doing this than by securing a piece of land, to which he can go when work no matter from what cause is no longer able. This is not merely our opinion but is the opinion of the wisest and best men in the nation. Now as to the location in which to make your selection. It has been demonstrated again and again that the individual will ultimately be much better off, and endure less hardship by casting his lot on lands in nesota and tributary to Duluth, than by giving heed to the extravagant claims made for land opportunities either west or south. Distance lands enchantment to a story as well as to the view.

If one solitary individual in the west or south chances by an accidental bination of circumstances to prosper fairly well, the praises of that tion of country are sounded by boosters and land speculators from one end of the continent to the other but not one word is said about the hundreds of equally good men who have failed to find either the west or south the paradise that was pictured to them and under whose spell they were prevailed upon to leave Minnesota. It was this proneness of giving heed to what one individual had realized to the utter overlooking of the thousands who did not realize anything that made the Louisiana state lottery so popular in its day. It is high time to direct the tention of the young men of nesota and middle aged too, to the agricultural possibilities that lie at their own doors, and not suffer them to be misled by the allurements of distant prospects, much less ious than the opportunities near home. Facts are stubborn things to come. They may be swamped and obscured for a time by inflated prices, lying circulars boom tions and other means of sentation, but in spite of these, the facts will be prevail eventually, merit will win and the supremacy of nesota lands will be clearly manifest.

The industrious farmer anywhere in Minnesota, and particularly on lands tributary to Duluth, who even but measurably does his duty to the land, is sure of reaping an abundant harvest every year. His cereals, hay, root crops, vegetables, and acclimated fruits never fail him. He has nothing to fear from storms, syclones, ricanes, premature frosts, and other causes that often prove so disastrous to agriculturists and fruit raisers both in the west and south. He has a ready market at good prices for all his products, and the: distance to that market is so insignificant, that transportation facilities and charges do not worry him. Let us take a concrete Illustration.

There is the Township of Meadowlands for instance a few miles west of Duluth, and tributary to two railroads. This township offers the individual of limited means a rare opportunity to become independent and prosperous either at farming per, or at truck farming, gardening, poultry raising or celery culture. An attractive feature of the Meadowlands proposition is that a man does not have to wait two or three years to bring his land into a state of vation. The great fire which swept over this section some years ago ELLIOTT CO. WHOLESALE Dressed Meats PROVISIONS AND LIVE STOCK "ZENITH BRAND on Hams, Bacon and Lard a guarantee of purity and the best the market affords.

ABATTOIR, STOCK YARDS AND COLD STORAGE -vl nuded it of its timbers and the clearing away of the second growth is done with comparative ease thus enabling the new comer to raise a magnificent and well paying crop the first year. C. E. Brown of Elk river, a soil specialist, declares that the best tatoes in the world may be grown here, and that the land cannot be ex celled for hay and clover. Experience has already demonstrated that all products belonging to the class of truck farming or market gardening can be raised there abundantly with a certainty of a good crop every year.

Mr. J. R. Dykehouse, a pioneer In the section is raising crops of celery that equal in every respect the amazoo product. Mr.

A. Schmiedel an Illinois truck gardner of ten years experience in that state, and for the last twenty months a resident of Meadowlands, declares that people do not realize the wealth and prosperity possible of attainment in this section. Mr. Schiedel writing of his own ience in Meadowlands last year says, "My business as a truck former prospered marvelously and was a cess from every view point. I have never before harvested better lettuce, onions, radishes, beets than in the past year, and I found the market and transportation facilities all that could be desired.

My practical of truck gardening is such to warrant the recommendation of Meadowlands tracts to all." The celery raised in the lands district is remarkable for its even texture and its peculiarly sweet flavor, and a Kalamazoo specialist, John C. Van Boven who visited Meadowlands last season jsaw the celery crop grow is most thusiastic over the possibilities of the section for celery culture. But celery is but one of the crops that this fertile region produces. Thomas Cooper, of the agricultural department of Minnesota University, visited Meadowlands, and compated the potatoes yield and found it to be 360 bushels to the acre. Many- of the hills examined gave fifteen chantable potatpes and "some hills even nineteeen.

Where in the west or south can this showing be celled or even equalled? Another, thing, the proximity of Lake Superior the largest body of fresh water in world which never freezes over combined with its land elevation, probably accounts for the entire absence in this region of late frosts In the spring and early frosts in the fall, so harmful to crops In other places. Meadowlands has a most desirable and healthy climate, rich, productive the land is easily cleared, the transportation facilities first class, two railroads traversing the township, and it is within easy reach of a ket that is steadily inoreasing (with the years. The growing fame of Northern Minnesota as a rich region, ready at hand for those who seek home and fertile acres is testified to with creasing volume as a result of the educational work that, has been ried on in the last few years, and probably no man in Northen nesota has done more faithful or more efficient work along this line than Mr. L. B.

Arnold, land sioner of the D. I. R. with fices on the 5 th floor of Wolvin building in this city. He is a ful, competent and conservative man who has made a thorough study of evlery phase of the problem, and prospective buyers, and 'home seekers whether for farming on a large scale or for truck farming gardening, poultry raising or celery culture, can find no more reliable man tn this county or in any other, with which to deal, and the Labor World takes great pleasure in calling attention to his advertisement in another column of.

this issue. I W. M. HUDDLE 00, REAL ESTATE AND LOANS 2-5 Lonsdale Building. Zenith Phone 239.

Probably no business or profession requires such accurate knowledge of Its every detail as the real estate and loan business, and certain it Is that no business requires more careful tention and exact methods. The enterprising and progressive Arm whose name appears at the tion hereof has always exerted a wide influence in the development and progress of Duluth. During the last four or five years this firm has handled a very large amount of land in the suburbs rounding Duluth in small tracts and they state that their experience bos DULUTH MINN. THE LABOR WORLD been exceedingly satisfactory a very large percentage of the people who have purchased have actually moved Out and settled on the land. School houses have been built upon several of these tracts which is uomethlng whioh would come very slowly If the settlement were more scattered tele, phone lines have been run out and street car improvements have been made to accomodate these who have actually gone to live on these tracts of from one to three acres, and every one Interested has worked for the community interest of the settlement.

It is a good indication in any munity to see a healthy demand amongst the salaried people and working people in general for homes, and this is especially true when this demand is in the direction of getting more than the ordinary home site, that is, more than the ordinary ing lot of a skimpy 2 5-foot frontage, but in securing a small tract of land on which the owner can erect home almost immediately upon It and thereby cut out the rent problem, making himself independent of the landlord. Last summer this firm subdivided 160 acres near Proctor, into tracts running from a half acre to two and one-half acres and they have only about 25 of these left and the parties who have purchased are holding on very tight and expect these ments referred to above very shortly, and in addition to that there is what amounts to almost a certainty that the street car line will be extended from West Duluth to Proctor within a very short while which will give these parties immediate access to West Duluth so that a man living in Wtest Duluth could keep his family upon one of these tracts and reach it every night after working. We are reliably informed that the firm Is now perfecting arrangements to open tracts this spring In land and other directions. They have had a great deal of experience along this line and we believe that they are doing a thoroughly good work in this direction. They sell on very easy weekly payments without interest and make it as easy as possible for a purchaser to obtain a homeslte.

The gentlemen comprising this firm are thoroughly experienced In their important line, and through ous and fair treatment of tfteir rons have a high standing in this community, where their well known Integrity and business reliability quire no commendatory words at our hands. The firm of W. M. Prindle Co. is probably as well known as any real estate firm In the north, west and are everywhere recognized as honorable, trustworthy and cially sound and ellable.

P. A. PATRICK COMPANY WHOLESALE DRY GOODS AND MANUFACTURERS. None of Duluth's large wholesale concerns show more strikingly than P. A.

Patrick wholesale dry goods, the tremendous advantage of location enjoyed by commercial ininterests at the Head of the Lakes, when combined with enterprise and energy. In ten years this young giant among dry goods houses has come into being, and gone ahead of ral other large dry goods ments in the Northwest, three or four times as old as this Duluth house. The paBt summer has witnessed F. A. Patrick make additions to its equipment which have nearly doubled its capacity for business.

The acquisition of that large six story brick building formerly occupied by the Imperial Flour Mill on Rice's Point is one of the additions to which we refer. Included in the premises with this brick building, which F. A. Patrick have turned into a splendily equipped woolen mill, are extensive storage buildings, dock warehouse, and a large private dock at whioh lake freight carriers unload their cargoes of merchandise from the East. The establishment of F.

A. rick also includes their mense main building at 5th Avenue West, a warehouse near it, and a branch manufacturing establishment at Superior, Wis. The remarkable sucoess and opment of this gigantic dry goods, establishment while due to a erable extent to the advantages of location is due to a greater tent to the excellent organization of the concern, and the skill and broad minded policy 'of the enterprising men who make up that organization. MCDONNELL, p. GENERAL CONTRACTOR General Offices, McDonnell Building, Superior Street, Duluth.
