"MAN-oF-THE-HoUR" CLAIM NO. 1.

Gov. Van SAINTS committee, in their
state campaign brochure entitled, 'Men
of the Hour, who know their duty and
do it'-with Van SAINT and Roosevelt
pictured as said "men of the hour
recite list of achievements to show
why voters should support that man of
the hour, the head of the state ticket.
Campaign claim No. reads: '"The
reduction of the tax levy for the next
year to one mill, the lowest in the his
tory of the state"
The practical question is: What has
Gov. Van SAINT done to lower the state
tax rate?
Was it when he called an extra ses-
sion at cost of something like $50, 900?
Was it when he called for $4,000 for
extra lawyer hire?
Was it when he approved the bill to
repeal the dog tax?
The fact is, the reduction of the state
tax levy is simply the result of the in
crease of the state assessed valuation
The increase of the states aggregate
assessment from $600,000,00O for 1901
to approximately $8OO,OO0,OO0, as fixed
by the state board of equalization dur
ing the session which closed last week,
fully explains the cause of the reduc-
ton of rate.
Now, how much credit is the COVER
nor and his administration entitled to
IN Ina
ton?
Let us call the attention of the gov
ernor to this point in passing-if he
and his majority had voted to ade-
quately assess street railway fran
chises, the rate could have been still
lower!
If Gov. Van SAINT had voted according
to the advice of State Auditor Dunn
and assessed the Twin City Rapid
Transit company on it's $23,00O,OOO OF
market value of capital stock at 81, OOO,-
900, instead of only $5,572,951, as he
actually did, there could have been a
slightly lower tax rate still.
But the special attention of voters
and taxpayers is called to the spot
where the great increase in valuation
was voted-namely, in the value of
farm property.
The farmer taxpayers of Anoka,
Douglas, Grant, Hubbard, Mower, Muir
ray, Pine, Polk, Renville, Roseau, Scott
and Traverse counties may be interest
ed to know that Gov. Van SAINT and his
board raised their real estate valuation
20 per cent above the returns of their
respective county boards - notWith-
standing only $5,572,951 of assessed val
uation on $23,O0O,OOO of street railway
market value.
The farmer taxpayers of Jackson,
Pope and Waseca counties may be hap
by to learn that this advertised record
was made by showing their valuations
upward 25 per cent.
The farmer taxpayers of Chippewa,
Lincoln, Marshall, Martin, Nicollet,
Swift and Watonwan counties will be
glad to know that their assessed valua-
ton for taxation is boosted 80 per cent
all around.
Cottonwood county farmers should
be happy to learn that they contribute
a 35 per cent increase in valuation in
order to bring about this wonderful
political record.
Fillmore, Houston, Kandiyohi, Kilt
son and Pipestone county farm own
ers may reap glory from a 40
per cent increase in assessed val

"Hark! What's that?" asked Roy.
Both hoys listened.
Sounds like 4 brass band" said Bob.
Let's just down to the turn to what
it is
Both boys ran to the turn and far, far down
the road they a cloud of dust. They
watched it for a moment. "A circus.' gasped
Bob.
1t the first time in the lifetime of those
two boys that 4 circus had come to their little
farming town. Bob and Roy forgot poor little
Rose and tore down the road to meet the circus.
1t was long time before Bob remembered
Then his conscience smote him terribly
Poor little kid" he thought Il ought to go
back to her" But just then a. bear began cut

animals turned restless and there was so much
excitement that Bob forgot again. The circus
had turned down a long, level road, and Bob

Of Rose again 1t was getting late in the after
noon and with great effort he turned his face
homeward. As he looked toward his home,
which was almost out of sight. he big

to himself. Then like flash came the memory
OF his mothers warning TO look after the fire.
He turned suddenly faint What if the house
was on fire and Rose was burned to death, She
would not stir from that chair when she had
promised honor bright He flew like the wind
up the road, bending his head and speeding as
be had so often done in racing with the boys
His fright made him swift. He did not stop

He hardly dared look up till he was almost

was nothing more nor less than the setting
blazing on the upper windows.

Bob tiptoed softly up behind her and picked

cuddled her, and told her wonderful stories with
animals in them that barked and mewed and

lonely time, and thought her big brother Bob

In the Southern part Of the United States these
insects hatch ont earlier than in the North For
this reason they are there called May bugs OF
May beetles Both of these names are common
in England where still another. "cockchafers Is
often given TO them
Before d June bug has flown about much us
body seems TO be busted over with a sort of pow
der. The latter rUDs off easily, and i'll time the
bugs back is almost smooth and clean as d
horse chestnut. Under microscope the dust Is
seen to consist of little scaleike hairs, lying side
by side and pointing backward. The female June
bug has more of these than the male Careful ex-
animation shows that many of these particles are
so narrow as 10 look like hair, and others wide
enough to resemble scales Others are too narrow
for a scale and too wide a hair.
The June bugs feeIers anteEne, carry TUFTS
NJ hair which can be opened out like tiny fans.
These tufts are thus opened when the insects at
tention is aroused. The performance IS the same
as the pricking up of its ears by a horse
