Fair Hunter Gets Deer and Rather

Hunters in the adjacent hills chased two

BY expert riding the ladies managed to

State Needs the Money.
Gov. Glasscock also points out that the
state needs the money to be received
from production tax. To that end he
advocates tax of ] cent on every 1000
cubic feet of gas produced Gov. Daw-
son never clearly stated that he favored
tax Of one-third of cent, but he al
ways gave the impression that he was
committed to that rate, which was the
rate advocated by the original state tax
commission. Gov. Glasscock's advocacy
OF l-cent charge is almost startling
Ihe unshot of the whole matter will
be the encouragement of bills launched at

stirring up of the Standard Oil animals
The oil people are quite a factor in poll

Giasscock commits himself definitely to
the gas feature, whereas Dawson had to
combat the much more powerful coal in

a prospect of partial success at least at
tending the Glasscock efforts.
As pointed out by him, the coal people

Pres. W. A. Shoemaker of the state
normal school at St. Cloud declared
that the present plan of state aid to
high and graded schools is tax on
the poor to help the rich. He says:
~S When a district has enough property
TO hire good teachers, build school
houses of a certain standard and con-
form to certain other regulations the
state gives an additional sum. But
when the district is so poor that the
maximum tax of Is mills is not
enough to build the best buildings or
hire the best teachers the state re-
fuses them any aid AID taxes them to
help pay for aid to the rich districts. "
ssIt is case of unto them that
hath shall be given "
c.. r. Frazier, assistant state super
intendent of public instruction, agrees
with MIR. Shoemaker in this view. 81
i believe he says, "that the law
should be so changed so as to provide
for state aid to any district where the
maximum school tax of Is mills is not
= enough to keep the school up to
standard.'

The New Ulm Turnverein I'M

untiring efforts we're instrumental in
securing new piano for Turner hall
of which the society was greatly in
need of. The members of what is
known among the Turner's as Thurs

verein for some time past realized that
there ought to be another piano in
Turner hall and at once went to work
to secure the necessary funds. They
arranged for various entertainments
and parties and also personally soli-
cited contributions. Some weeks ago
they had the necessary amount of
money collected and were then in a
position to purchase $4,000 Rau-
denburch piano. The deal was ne
gotiated through the agency of VIM.
Alvin and the ladies are we'll pleased
with the piano. The tone quality OF
the instrument IS magnificent and re-
markedly we'll balanced throughout
both bass and treble. The piano is
pronounced by all those who have seen
it as being very attractive in design
and finish.

MORE WHISKEY THAN EVER
Prohibition Wave no Apparent
Effect.

Government officials in the internal
revenue department are puzzled to
know what is being done with the
whisky that is being taken from bond.
Although it is the common opinion
of those who have observed life in
the large cities that public drunken
ness is not near as prevalent as it
used to be, the strange fact remains,
says the St. Paul Daily News, that
the consumption of whisky is steadily
on the increase and that, too, at
rate out of proportion to the growth
of population.
Inasmuch as the farmers are not
using whisky as liquid fertilizer for
their crops, and inasmuch, also, as
there is no record of the substitution
of whisky for gasoline as motive
power for automobiles, the suspicion
is strong in the minds of government
experts that the American people are
not paying any too much attention,
privately, to the prohibition wave that
was supposed to be sweeping over the
country. Whether the actual per
capita consumption is much larger
than usual cannot yet be accurately
determined, but certain it is that
Bradstreet's and Other commercial
agencies report substantial increase
in the revenue of sales made by whisky
dealers.
| Curiously enough the annual report
of the Distilleries Securities corpora
ton for the year ended June 30 last,
shows that despite the activity of the
prohibition propagandists the with
drawals of whisky for the period
covered in the report largely in
creased. Other statistical facts are
adduced to prove this. Returns made

Here's a story of ''the tribes of the
wandering feet.''
A band of weary Indians, driven by
their foes from place to place, finally
crossed broad river and, setting up
their tepees, exclaimed: alabama.
The meaning of the word in the Indian
tongue is 'Here we rest" And thus
a state was named. The sequel we
know.
Where these aborigines expected to
find rest and a home, they found only
enemies and the grave.
So of us all - Humanity, driven
hither and yon, looks forward to the
day when it shall cross the broad
river of Trouble and, setting up its
pilgrim staff, says to itself, "Alaba-
ma! Here we rest
And that day never comes. You
say to yourself in the early days there
must be toll and sacrifice until the
foothold is gained, until the business
is established, until the income is
gained. Later, you have passed that
goal. Still you strive and save. You
discover that the foothold must be re-
tanned, the business doomed, the in
come increased to increasing needs.
Place and position secured, great
effort must be made to hold place and
position.
There is no Alabama in a strenuous
life.
Or-You have said to YOURSELF: The
children are small. There must be
provision for them. Some day they
will grow up and leave the family.
When they are able to take care OF
| themselves then a well-earned season
of repose shall be enjoyed. Well.
The children have grown up. You
have advanced the date of your day
of rest. The children must be educated.
Toll and economy is necessary. When
the children are educated and married
then we can say to ourselves, "Here
is rest.' Well. The children are
| educated Now we must wait until
| they are married. They are married.
Then they must be launched in bust.

Or-If the children are taking care
of themselves there are parents or
| dear friends, or the worthy cause
And so we go on, shaving, saving,
walking the dusty highway, bearing
our bundle upon us until some day We
drop it by the side of an open grave.
| Is it not better so? We need
stimulus and incentive. Without
something to live for and work for
and die for life would be an insipid
and dull commonplace. Besides
The burden steadies the feet and keeps
erect the moral backbone.
| When your work is done, then and
not till then, can you say to your
soul, alabama. And who that is
able to work wants to admit his work
is done? Rather would you not pre-.
fer that epitaph which is written or
the flat stone over the grave of the
soldier of Padua: "Here he who
never rested rests''
