FATALLY INJURED.
Dragged Thirty Rods by Run.
away Team.

A young man by the name of
Bowser, the only son of Mr.. and Mrs.
eBowser, living three miles northeast
Of Hancock, suffered terrible ac-
cident on Tuesday and is not expect
ed to live.
The young man was plowing and in
going over fence the point of the
plow caught on the barbed wire on
the ground and the horses became
frightened and ran away. No one
was present but as the young man was
found about 80 rods from where the
accident occurred, it is thought that
he was dragged this distance. He
was picked up unconscious. DIR.
Caine was called and found that he
was suffering from concussion of the
brain. The young man is only II
years of age.
The sorrowing family have the
sympathy of many friends in their
hour of trouble.

County Attorney Bicknell gave Coun-
ty Auditor Munro written opinion
that the law was unconstitutional, and
that he therefore had no authority to
levy tax to collect the money.
Since then the matter has been up
annually, and the same position has
been taken, but never till this year
has the state auditor certified the tax
here for collection, but the communi-
cations heretofore have simply been
informal letters.
Other counties have paid back their
seed grain loans without question, for
of the 100000 which the state has
advanced from time to time for this
purpose, all but 81 900 has now been
paid back by county levies.

F. E. Ware, Esq,
County Auditor,
Morris, MINI.

this Office for such action in the pre-
misses as may be deemed necessary,
the claim of the State against the
County of Stevens, amounting in all
to $4S33.25, together with interest
thereon, for seed grain and the like.
Before commencing suit to collect
this money thought it but courteous
to ask you to advise your county
board of the fact that an action is
about to be begun by the State against
the County of Stevens to collect, the
= same being money which the State
paid as an act of charity, and ask them
to advise me through you, at your
earliest convenience and in any event
within the next twenty days, whether
your county will repay the money or
whether it will be necessary to bring
such action therefor.
Ibelieve it is the first time within
the history of the state that any coun-
ty has ever suggested the reputation
of a debt of this kind, and I cannot
believe that the county commission
ers Or the people of Stevens county
care to place themselves or be placed
in position where it becomes neces-
sary for the state to sue them. But if
J such proves to be their idea no re-
course is left to the State and a law
suit will follow. The notoriety and
advertisement which such suit will
naturally bring would of itself deter
most people. I therefore beg to sug-
gest that you submit the matter to
your county board for I cannot be-
ieve that upon mature consideration
it will be willing that the County of
Stevens be placed in such a light be-
fore the people of the state at large.
Yours truly,
George T. Simpson,
Attorney General. 4
In replying to this letter, County
Auditor Ware briefly set out his posi-

Hon. Geo. T. Simpson,
Attorney General,
st. Paul, MINI.
Dear SIR
Replying to your favor of the 9th,
ult. regarding the Seed Grain bonds of
Stevens County, will state that it is
useless at this time to call a meeting
of the Board of County Commissions
ers for the purpose you suggest, as
the matter was laid before them at
their session on Oct. 4, and was in
structsd to procure the opinion of the
County Attorney and govern my ac-
tions accordingly.
The attitude of the various county
officers in this matter has been mis-
construed; we do not wish to repudiate
our just debts, neither do we care to
be compelled to suffer for the errors
of our predecessors. We admit the
moral obligation and regret being
forced to take the stand we do. As
soon as we are shown that the bonds
} are legal and that the officials are not
personally liable for their payment,
they will be paid, or levy will be
made providing for it.
Yours very truly,
F. E. Ware,

Insurance Notes.

Chapter. 427, Laws 1909, specifically
prohibits the payment, allowance or
receiving of rebates on any policy of
insurance issued in this State. 1t also
prohibits the sale or gift of any other
thing in connection with insurance.
The Modern National Reserve,
Charles City, Iowa, a fraternal society
has not been relicensed by this de-
partment.
An examination by the Iowa Tnsur-
ance Department states that this So
ciety used its Reserve Fund in viola :
ton of the provisions of it's bylaws.
In reply to numerous inquiries con-
cerning the standing of the Minnesota
Farmers Mutual Insurance company,
the following statement is made:
This company was refused license
at the beginning of 1909 on account of
numerous violations of the law of the
State governing companies of this
class, and the matter was referred to
the Attorney General for such action
as be deemed advisable. The COM
pany had exceeded the expense limita-
tion fixed by Section 1872, Revised
Laws 1905, as amended by Section q,
chapter Al, Laws 1907, but claimed
that bylaw which they had passed
gave them the right to do this. The
Attorney General has just decided
that the bylaw in question is not
valid, as it is intended to nullify the
law of the State.
The liability Of policyholders for as
sessments made by this company dur
ing 1909 is strictly legal question and
will, in all probability, have to be de-
|termined by the courts. Section 1869,
r. L. 1905. as amended by Section 1,
Chapter Al, Laws 1907, provides that:
"Whenever any assessment has been
completed, the secretary shall i'm
mediately notify each member by
mail, directed to his last known ad-
dress, of the purpose and amount of
such assessment and of his share
thereof, and the person to whom and
the time when such payment must be
made"
Each policy holder has the right to
know the amount of the assessment
and the purpose for which it is levied.
The Attorney General has been
asked to take the proper legal pro-
ceedings in this matter.
The fire losses in Minnesota for
September, amounted to $4,000, as
compared with 81, 700, 900, in 1908, The
losses in the United States were S12,-

in September 1908.

School Notes.

Last Saturday the Glenwood team
beat the local high school team by a
score of 10 to 0. The first half the
Glenwood team made one touch down
and besides came near putting out
Anderson, but he survived the shock
and was able to continue the rest of
the game. The second half Glenwood
made a touch down on punt. Glen
wood has pair of fast ends and one
of them got the punt and tore loose
for touch down. The Morris boys
took a brace and held the visitors
down the rest of the game. While we
were beaten it takes more than that
to discourage us for we are going
straight over to Glenwood ne xt Satur-
day and try it again. We will practice
all this week and hope to turn out
better team than we had last Saturday.
We were most happy to notice a
vast army of our patriotic school
girls turned out to the Glenwood
seven turned out. We hope at the
next game that few more will en-
deavor to turn out and do a few cheer
ing stunts. Those that were there
deserve special commendation for
staying thru the game.
Saturday the east side seventh grade
defeated the west seventh grade at
basket ball, to 6. The return game
will be played next Saturday at the
Longfellow building.
The grade teachers in the Longfellow
school are prepa ring Thanksgiving

One of our girls in the manual train
ing class thinks it will be pretty
fine thing if, in future years, she is
able to put on her own screens "ba-
fore all the flies in the country get in"

"The gum that's round" has become
very popular among the Seniors in

There are ten pupils who have
joined the Debating Society. The
first meeting was held last Monday at
$3.50. The question as to whether they
join the Debating League of this dis
trict or not was voted down. This
will be separate society and will not
interfere in any way with any other
literary societies we may have. Mr..
Fuller hopes to have the material here
by next week so the work may be be-
gun Immediately.
After looking up the records of the
basket ball teams for the month of
October we find team 5, or the Junior
team has by far the greatest number
of credits. Who's all right? The
Juniors!

SEED GRAIN.
Selecting Seed and Importance
of Cleaning.

Notes furnished by the farmers
Institutes
Selection of Seed: Most farmers
appreciate the value of good live
stock. They select their animals for
breeding and market the others. They
know good animals will give them
better returns and more vigorous off :
spring than will the weaker ones. Few
appreciate this same principle as ap-
pied to the selection of seed grain,
and yet the principles are as ap-
plicable and necessary to good grain
raising as to good stock raising.
A bin of grain may be compared to
herd of cattle, and superior individ-
uals may be selected from the bin OF
grain as well as from the herd Of
cattle. Individual kernels of grain
vary as much in ability to produce
good or poor offspring as do individ-
ual animals. The heavy, plump seeds
were produced in most cases upon
the strongest and most vigorous
plants, and the light, shrunken seeds
from the weaker and less vigorous
plants. That 'slike produces like" is
well known axiom in animal breed
ing, and the influence of heredity is as
strong in plant life as in animal life.
Improvement can be effected only by
breeding from the strongest individ-
uals. Hence there is as much reason
for selecting good individual seeds of
grain as for selecting good individual
animals.
Yields from Heavy and Light
Weight Seeds. A cow in good condi-
ton will give birth to a stronger calf,
and will give more milk to nourish it.,
than will cow in a poor and weak
condition. Correspondingly, plump,
heavy kernel of grain will produce a
stronger plant and nourish it better
than will a shruuken, light kernel.
This fact has been demonstrated be-
yond doubt by experiments testing
the yield from light and heavy weight
seeds. The following table shows the
yields of winter wheat obtained from
light and heavy weight seeds at the
Nebraska Experiment Station:
Kind ofSeed Yield per acre
in 1900 in 1901 Avera pe
Heavy ....... .295 bu. 1913 bu. 29.4 bu.
Light. t.......... .23.0 bu. 267 bu. 24.8 bu.
Gain in favor of heavy seed...... 4.6 bu.
A similar experiment at the Mime
sofa Experiment Station with heavy
and light weight oats Bulletin No. 31)
gave an increase of 81 bu. per acre
in favor of the heavy seed.
There are two principles by which
grain can be separated in ordinary
tanning mills, namely, by weight and
by size of kernel. The average fan
ming mill will handle at this kind of
cleaning about 40 bushels per hour. At
this rate in eight hours two men can
clean 800 bushels. This will make the
cost something less than one cent per
bushel.
With ''side shake" tanning mill,
one can separate by weight as the
grain falls thru the air blast, and by
size of kernel as the grain passes over
the screens. This is the better separa-
tion as it gives one the heaviest and
plumpest kernels. With an tend
shake" mill, the separation can be
made only by size of kernel. Either
method is much better than no separa-
ton or simply cleaning. BY taking
10 per cent to so per cent of the best
of the seed as grown one can not only
have the best of his grain for seed,
but can have it almost absolutely free
from weed seeds. A. d. WILSON.

THE JAPANESE QUESTION.
Continued from paqe 1.)

they are not prosperous, if they are not
content, then in that degree does our
government fall short of the great re-
sponsibility that the people have reposed
in our political institutions. Going back
and taking the report of the state labor
commissioner for 1907 and 1908 we find
within our state a total of $4,000 Japan
ese, distributed as follows:
San Francisco and vicinity, 10000;
Los Angeles, 5000; Sacramento, 5000;
Fresno and vicinity, 5000; all other
parts of state, $4,000. Total, $4,000.
Out of this number 14,000 are farmers
owning an area of 1900 acres, sending
back to Japan s5,6S3,ooO yearly. There
are more than 1000 Japanese laundry
workers in San Francisco, "a employ
ment offices, S5 lodging houses, Sc res
taurants, where meals are served as low
as 10 cents per meal; II bath houses, 19
shooting galleries, 40 barber shops, 300
shoe repairing shops, 100 house cleaning
companies, brokers, bankers, doctors,
dentists and express companies.
The people of California have deep
seated and abiding conviction that moth
ing short of an exclusion statute along
the lines of the Chinese exclusion act
will stop or even check the tide of ORR
entail immigration that has set in from
Japan to the Pacific coast. In the alb.
sence of this statute, l believe that the
immigration will go on without much ref
erence to business conditions in this
country, and in few years California,
like Hawaii, will become little more than
an Oriental colony.

MUNICIPAL HOMES FOR woRkMeN.

The municipality of Genoa, Italy, is
constructing two immense buildings,
each to contain 70 apartments, termed
popular houses" for the purpose of pro-
yiding suitable living quarters for the
workmen of the city. AS it is an impos-
sibility to expand the building area OF
Genoa, every available site being already
occupied, there has been a constant in
crease of rentals on all classes of prop
erty.
The apartments in the new structures
are to be from two to five rooms each,
and the purpose is to rent each room at
$14 year. The present plans contem
plate the construction of from 20 to 400
apartments, to contain approximately
from 5000 to 10000 rooms.
Only laborers or salaried employees,
whose annual earnings do not exceed
$500, or if without families, $500, are to
be admitted as tenants.-Record.
