Freloht Line Taxes.

State Auditor S. G. Iverson has not1-
fed the freight line companies doing
business in Minnesota to report the
amount of capital stock, real estate
value, mileage and other information
relating to the business condition OF
the companies on or before July 81
for taxation purposes, under the law
passed by the recent legislature MI.
Iverson estimates that the law will
add from 5000 to $4,000 to the states
revenues.
Freight line companies have not
been required to pay taxes since Feb.
90, 1902. A law passed in 1897 and
amended in 1899 required the com
panies to pay fat rate of per cent.
This, the supreme court decided, was
unconstitutional. The new law speci-
fies that the rate shall be the average
rate fixed by the state on other
classes of property.
The law provides that the state
board of equalization shall ascertain
the value of the capital stock of each
company in the state by substracting
from the company's entire capital
stock the value of it's real estate and
taking a proportion of the result
based on the proportion of the state
mileage to the company's entire mile
age.
Old Settlers.
The annual reunion of the Old Set
tiers association was held at the
rooms of the historical society in the
capitol, St. Paul. Only nineteen OF
Minnesota's pioneers were able to at
tend the meeting. Although all OF
them have battled against the condi-
tions of new country since 1S49
they are all in good health. A re-
quest from the Territorial Pioneers
was read that the Old Settlers hold
their annual meeting on June l with
the Pioneers. The matter was dis
cussed at length and was finally laid
on the table until the next annual
meeting.
The following officers were elected
for the coming year: President, D.
A. J. Baker; vice presidents, James
McMullen and E. w. Durant; secreta-
ry, A. L. Larpenteur; treasurer, j. D.
Ludden.

Gymnastic Honors.

DR.. L. J. Cooke, gymnastic director
of the University of Minnesota, receiv-
ed a letter from Professor D. A., Sar-
gent, gymnastic director at Havard,
and head of the national association
of gymnasium directors, saying that
Minnesota took first place in the in
tercollegiate strength contest by a
big margin. Minnesotas' total this
year was 77,722.2, 1926 points better
than the best privious record, made
by Harvard year ago. This year the
crimson failed to come up to last
years figures. Columbus, which took
second last year, increased her total,
but was still 4,13O below Minnesota.

Arrested for Robbery.

S. Joriski, supposed to be the man
who held up and robbed the rural
mail carrier near Morris, was arrest
ed at Moorhead. Joriski drove into
the city and had q mail sack under
the blanket on the seat of his cart.
He was arrested and the mail sack
was turned over to Postmaster Bjork-
uuist. The sack had been cut open
and some of the letters opened. Joris-
XII is Russian and speaks very little
English. From his broken language
he appears to claim that he found the
mail sack along the roadside. Joriski
will be held for the United States au-
thorities.

BONE FOOD

Soft and crooked bones mean
bad feeding. Call the disease
ricketts, if you want to. The
growing child must eat the
right food for growth. Bones
must have bone food, blood
must have blood food and so
on through the list.
SCOTS Emulsion is the right
treatment for soft bones in
children. Littledoses everyd day
give the stiffness and shape
that healthy bones should have.
Bow legs become straighter,
loose joints grow stronger and
hrmness comes to the soft
heads.
Wrong food caused the
trouble. Rightfood will cure it.
In thousands of cases SCOTS
Emulsion has proven to be the
right food for soft bones in
childhood.
