from 80 to 80 per cent Of the milk
used in England comes from dual

that of the Shorthorns that are MIXED

beef consumed comes from Shorthorns,

CHARGE MET BY AFFIDAVIT
Board of Control Employee Declared
Clear Of Fraud by Alleged
Accuser.

An affidavit to absolve Lucius G.
Tong, superintendent of construction
under Clarence H. Johnston, state ar
chitect, from a charge Of fraud was
today made public in the offices of the
state board Of control. Tong was in
dicted by grand jury at Willmar on
a charge of grand larceny, it being al
legged that he defrauded the state of
$25.25 by means of a fraudulent pay
check. The affidavit is made by Gust
Erickson, a laborer, who was said to
have circulated the report against
Tong. The affidavit states that he re-
ceived a check for $31.25 from Tong,
but that the amount was not in ex.
cess of that he had earned and which
was rightfully due him.
