and sit down this year

LAST week the Milton Globe
edltoriallY urged the giving of
greater publicity, through the
official papers, to statements show
ing the receipts and disbursements
Of county funds. The Globe takes
the position that if the public were
more frequently informed in this
manner of the running expenses Of
the county it would lessen the
general complaint made by the
people regarding taxes being high.
The cost Of publishing statements
of this kind at intervals of once or
twice each year would not be suf-
fcently large to deter the board
from submitting to the people an
occasional statement of the nature
outlined above and for which there
seems to be quite a general de-
mand upon the part of the tax
payers.

Corn culture is attracting more
attention than ever through the

Dakota was too far north and the
season too short for the successful
development Of corn. In the past
few years this belief has been con-
troverted, and there are many
