Moreover. this significant fact should
be borne in mind that though we can
use foreign Golfers TO supply our fight
ing navy a. time OF peace, We could not
do so ia actual war. The laws Of neu-
trauty would forbid the borrowing Of
foreign ships and foreign crews, and
even II secured these foreign ships and
crews could not DO trusted 10 perform
loyal and efficient service.
we discovered this fact in the war
with Spain, when foreign ships which
We had managed to secure at a ire
mendous price before the outbreak Of
hosulities were promptly deserted by
their officers and men, and the ships
could not be employed 70 carry coal or
anything else until they were turned
over to Americans. If there were war
now instead of peace our lack of col

so far as steamships are concerned

The dairy COW now yields four times
the profit she did generation ago,
and with only fraction Of the labor
involved. The consumer secures a
product that is superior in every
way to that formerly on the market.
The dairy COW has been raised to
the plane OF valuable asset, and no
longer is merely side issue on the
farm.
The farmers of Minnesota and the
other northwestern states are realiz-
ing their opportunity. 1t was only
natural, when the state was new and
lard plentiful, that they should
devote their attention to crops which
the virgin soil yielded to them with
little labor. But that time is past.
They are now reaping the more
bountiful and surer harvest yielded
by scientific intensive farming.
During 1906 the Minnesota farmers
received more than S4l, 100000 for
their dairy products. The wheat
crop Of that year yielded them only
39,6l9,l30, oat and corn about
S25,000,000 and Sl7000,000,
respectively.
Prof Err, Of Ohio state university
has demonstrated that not only is
dairying profitable but it adds to
the value of lands, that prices in al
parts of the world are highest in
proportion to the number Of the
dairy COWS. He has also demon
strated that civilization is the high
est in dairying communities. What
the dairy COW has done for others
she will do for Minnesota and the
northwest.

In spite of the governors elab-
crate figures and arguments OH the
tax matter, the question should be a
very simple one for the taxpayer to
comprehend. The average appro-
priations of the last three legisla-
lures amounted in round mum bers to
81, 100000. The total appropria-
tions of the last legislature amounted
to 81, 225, 900, without nting any
thing for the new capitol or the
Irvine plant. Thus the Crawford
Legislature spent 1925, 600 more than
the average OF the three last legis-
latures. Perhaps Mr.. Crawford can
explain how this amount of money
can be spent without raising taxes,
and tell us who viii pay this extra
three quarters OF million dollars if
the taxpayers do not. Every farmer
who has paid his taxes this winter
knows that taxes are higher. He
also knows that his county tax levy
is lower than last year. The gov
ernor is very smooth talker and an
adept at abuse, but ne cannot explain
these taxes. Brookings Press.
