NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
Question to Be Discussed at Meeting
nonday Night.

n = The school board has decided to set
aside next Monday evening for the
consideration of the crowded condition
of the schools and the necessity of
providing more room by building a
new high school building. The meet
ing will be held at the Longfellow
building, and the board is especially
anxious that all citizens, taxpayers
and others interested in the schools
should be present at that meeting, and
desire that there be full discussion
of the subject.
According to Supt. Smyser's report,
which was published last week, it is
necessary that steps be taken at ence
to provide more room, and the board
desires by means of this meeting to
secure the full cooperation of the cit
izens in any steps that may be taken.

Regarding Road Overseers.

County Auditor Ware has received
a communication from Walter s. Booth
& Son, enclosing opinions relative to
the road inspector law from the well
known law firm of Belden, Jamison &
Shearer, of Minneapolis.
The opinions answer two questions,
first, whether the law is still in force
in view of certain reported decisions
! of the District Courts of the State de-
claring the law unconstitutional, and
secondly, whether town board should
appoint town road inspectors under
the law in counties where the county
board has failed to appoint county
superintendent of highways.
In answer to the first question, the
opinion says, "We have been informed
that the District Court of st. Louis
County has declared the law above re-
ferred to as unconstitutional, but we
understand that the case has never
gone to the Supreme Court of the
State, nor has theSupreme Court been
called upon to pass upon the validity
of the law. In view of that fact any
decision of an inferior court of this
State declaring the law unconstitution-
al will not invalidate the law, unless
and until the decision Of the inferior
court so holding, is considered and af-
firrned by the Supreme court of the
State. In such case District Court
decision is binding only upon the par
ticular case decided. We, therefore,
think you are justified in advising
your patrons that the law in question
is in force until the Supreme Court Of
the State of Minnesota decides other
wise"
In answer to the second question,
the opinion says, 'sIn answer to the
same will say that while the county
superintendent of highways has gen
eral superintendance over the manner
of doing work of road inspectors, the
road inspectors do not make their re-
ports to him, and the duties of town
road inspectors are sufficiently distinct
and separate from the duties of the
county superintendent of highways so
that they could perform their duties
without necessary reference to the
duties of the county superintendent
of highways. Consequently we think
that the town road inspectors ought
to be appointed by the various town
boards Notwithstanding the failure of
the county board to appoint county
superintendent of highways. Failure
of duty to appoint on the part of the
latter cannot properly excuse failure
of duty to appoint on the part of the
fnrnnar1,

WON'T SHARE ITS
LIQUOR REVENUE
rIORRJS WILL NOT PAY 2 PER
CENT TO STATE.
ConstitutionaIIty of Law Providing
Cities Must Pay to Build and
Keep Farm for Inebriates to be
Tested i'm COurtS-- Tax on Public
Property Is Argument.

The Pioneer Press of Tuesday says:
The constitutionality of the law
passed last winter requiring munich
palities to pay into the state treasury
2 per cent of all money collected from
the sale of retail liquor licenses to be
used for the construction and main
tenance of state hospital farm for
inebriates ia to be tested in the courts.
This was decided yesterday at a con-
ference between Attorney General E.
T. Young and J. B. Ormond, city at
torney of Morris, which has refused to
make the payment required under the
law.
The point raised by Mr.. Ormond is
chat the requirement is in fact a tax
on public property, and the law is
therefore unconstitutional. He holds
that the money received from Licenses
goes into the treasury of the city or
town and is used for the payment of
the expenses of the municipality, and
that the law requiring the payment of
per cent of such collections to the
state is tax upon the property of the
locality in which it is collected.
State Might Take All.
The states contention is that the
money is collected by virtue of the
provisions of the state law and that
the state has a right to prescribe what
the money shall be used for; that it
might in fact require all of this money
to be paid into the state treasury.
In view of the fact that Morris has
resisted the collection of this sum,
other cities probably will take similar
action. AS the courts will have to
pass upon the question involved, it is
probable that suit will be begun
within few days in order to get it on
the calendar of the supreme court as
early as possible.
The next term of the court opens on
April 7.

In the Morris Tribune we read that
the Hays and Randall farm received
$5O.13 for cream from the Stevens Co.
Creamery during the month of Janu-
ary. This is No. in the list for total
amount, bat is the best record per

eight COWS. 1t will be of interest to
Starbuck readers to know that this
Hays and Randall farm is managed by

TO BOOST STEVENS COUNTY.
Movement Started for an Organized
Campaign.

At the invitation of number of
business men, Immigration Commis-
sioner Welsh came to Morris on Thurs
day, and on Thursday evening ad-
dressed meeting of about fifty busi-
ness men interested in building up
Stevens county, at the Morris Nation
al Bank. Mr.. Welah told Of what had
been done by other organizations
formed for the purpose of finding
farmers to settle on vacant farms in
other counties of the state, and also
told of the general work which the
immigration department is doing.
Many of the men present also made
short remarks, dwelling on the de-
sireability of the farm lands here for
the actual farmer and the necessity
of some united effort to boost the
county. All signified in one way or
another their interest in seeing some
organized effort made to present the
advantages of Stevens county land to
those who are looking for new homes.
just what plan of organization should
be adopted was finally left to COM
mittee composed of four members
from Morris, and one each from Han
cock, Chokio and Donnelly, to be ap-
pointed by the president.
S.sA. Siverts was elected temporary
president, and F. r. Putnam tempor-
ary secretary, and will call the next
meeting when the committee is ready
to report.

DEMAND WELL SUPPLIED.
Skilled Laborers Should Keep Away
From Canal Zone.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Reductions
in force are being made by the 18TH
mian canal commission in the diEa-
sions of building construction and
that of mechanics, also in the clerical
force on the isthmus. Notwithstand~
ing these facts there has been con-
siderable number of unemployed me
chanics and clerks migrating to the
isthmus recently as result of the
commercial depression in the United
States, but their chances Of securing
employment are remote. The com
mission is anxious that prominence be
given these, facts, as any vacancies
that may have to be filed are given
to former employees who have not
left the isthmus. Americans who dc
come, however, and fail to securs
work with the commission can seldom
find other employment, as the w5l
ume of other business is not large
and the local supply Of skilled labor
ls amply sufficient TO meet all de-
mands.

COW Is QUEEN ON
MINNESOTA FARMS
ASTOUNDING FIGURES COMPILED
BY DAIRY DEPARTMENT.
Value of Dairy Products and Cows oI
Per Cent of that of Com bined
-
Crops Grown i'm State.

W. W. Wall, secretary of the State
Dairy and Food Commission has COM
piled figures relating to the value of
the dairy products and cows in Mime
sofa in 1906 and showing an aggregate
value of over 81 per cent of the value
of the grain crops grown in this state
during that year: These figures do
not take into account the value of the
SKINNED milk returned to the farmers
at the creameries, nor the value of the
eFeameries. With these two items
added the difference in the aggregate
Talues would be only about $4,000, 900
In favor of the grain crops, says the
Glencoe Enterprise.
The figures show the total value of
grain and potatoes in 1905 in this state
to have been $1O3, ,1ss, ,241, and the val
ne of the dairy products, cows and
other cattle to have been $s4, ,3s1 ,o50.13.
This amount might be increased by the
value of the skinned milk, which at
the rate of 20 cents per hundred
pounds would amount to $3,s92, ,401.
The creamery plants throughout the
state are estimated to be worth about
$3,OO0,O00.
While the department officials are
well aware of the steady growth of
the dairy interests of the state, no
comparison of values has been made
heretofore, and when the figures were
compiled they showed the Importance
of the dairy business to the state to be
much larger than has been supposed.
The following table shows the value
of the butter, both creamery and dali
ry, and the cheese produced in that
year, the value of the milk sold and of
the cattle.

ADVERTISING SENSE,
some Good Suggestions About Bring
ing up Trade and Keeping 1t.

advertising means business; it is
the bone and sinew of trade. A mer-
chant who does not advertise is," says
| Chicago daily, "classed among the
fossils. He is in rut, from which,
apparently, he has no ambition to ex-
trlcate himself. He is like the peas
ant in Russia who uses a crooked stick
for plow-far behind the times. Ad-
vertise during the dull season for busi-
ness; during the busy season to remind
the public that you can handle their
orders expediUiously. It is not alone
sufficient to advertise, but your state
ments must be backed by the goods.
In this age of quick communication the
public, in it's mad haste, is often prone
to give credence to untruthful state
ments. However, misleading state
ment is veritable boomerang in busi-
ness. If you can't deliver the goods
you lose out in the long run. AS all
advertisers are fighting for supremacy
with desperate zeal and courage, it is
policy to give the pure, undiluted truth
in connection with your goods. If you
would win in the fight, sincerity of
purpose must breathe through every
word of your 'ad.' This is absolutely
essential to perpetuate the supremacy
of the house. Experience shows that
masquerading under false pretenses
has never yet built up great busi-
ness"
There are many other newspapers
which might adopt the policy of re-
minding business men what advertis-
ing is and what it will do. But there
are not many publications that show
their own faith in publicity. A great
many papers preach what fine thing
advertising is for the other fellow, but
make only limited, if any, investment
in that direction themselves.-News-
