The high adaptation of much OF
northern Minnesota and the Dakotas
for growing potatoes is now coming
to be generally recognized. But few,
however, are growing the crop In a
large way. Without doubt there is a
fine opening for those who will turn
their attention to growing this crop In
large way. The benefit comes not
alone from growing the potato crop,
but 1t also comes in the crop Of wheat,
and other grain that follows. There
is no crop that will compare with po-
tatoes In preparing land for alfalfa,
declares Prof. Thomas Shaw. In Or

ing to play very important part in
the future agriculture of these states.

the potato crop has over corn crop
consists largely in the fact that nc

INDIANS AND RANCHERS
GO ON THE WAR PATH
Tax Collector and Deputies Killed IN
Mexico Because Of imposition Of
Exorbitsnt Taxes,

ID Paso Texas.--The news has
been received from Chihuahua, Mex
leo, that, pressed by tax collector
for what Is charged to have been
exorbitant taxes on their oxen and
horses, which they were unable to
pay, Tomosachic Indians and Mexi-
can ranchers at San Andres, this
state, killed the official and several
deputies and are now in open revolt
against the government.
The revolt Is said to have been
caused by the action OF the state gov
eminent In increasing the tax on all
work oxen and horses to three cents
q day. This aroused the anger OF the
native ranchers, who owned little
farms In the valley.
A number we're returning from a
cheap theater when a discussion OF
the tax arose. They became intoxi-
Gated, and when tax collector APP
peared. threatening confiscation Of
their property for non-payment. they
rebelled. shooting the official and sew

The country Is thickly populated
with descendants of Tomosachic In

Cramping the toes not only gives

feet that general misery follows.
Never let vanity force you into a
