bill will be introduced providing for
taking state census, according to the
custom of counting the states popula-
ton midway between the federal CEN

According to the custom it will prob
ably be placed in the hands of secre-
tary of state Julius A. Schmahl.
The 1905 census cost SCI, 200. 1t was
handled by secretary of state George

B. F. Dubois made report Of the

said that the cholera broke cat along

President McGibbon had delegated
him to look after the situation. He
read list Of q large number Of farm
ers whose herds had been treated and
stated that they were becoming to re-
alize the necessity Of vaccination to
eradicate the disease. Mr.. Dubois
stated that out of over 300 hogs vac
cinated under the supervision of the
society only one death had been re-
ported, but that he was quite sure
there must have been a few more as
this percentage of deaths was much
smaller than usual, even where the
hogs were treated under the most 1fav-
orable conditions. Mr.. Dubois stated
that the work had bsea practically
self-sustaining. He was rendered a
vote of thanks Tor the interest he had
taken in the matter.

The Herald is glad to note that Os-

the very efficient chief clerk of the

is little opposition cropping out but

RETIRING OFFICERS THANKED
SOCIETY HAS BALANCE OF $3.50
HOG CHOLERA REPORT
THE NEW DIRECTORS.

The annual meeting of the Agri-
cultural Society of ,Stearns county
was held at the Commercial Club
rooms in Sank Centre Tuesday eve
ming of this week.
Chairman d. B. Caughren of au-
ditiug committee reported that they
had carefully audited the books OF the
secretary and treasurer and found
that they balanced except for dis
erepency of 80 cents. The report of
the committee was accepted.
The auditing committee mildly crit
icized the method in vogue in past
years of mourning bills against the
society making it practically impossi-
BILE for the secretary to tell when all
bills against the society were in his
hands. They made the following
recommendation to remedy the evil:
eve recommend that all Off
GERS and department heads and
members first procure an order
from the secretary for any and
all purchases to be made in the
name Of the Society, and that no
bill be allowed without the secre-
tary's order attached"
The Recommendation was unani-
mously adopted.
The financial report of Secretary
Aygarn disclosed the fact that the
society will have a balance of $3.50
left over for the 1915 fair after the
appropriation is received from the
State next month. This estimate is
based upon the assumption that the
amount received will be the same as
last year, S., 500.
At the beginning of the present
year there was balance of ;$472.72;
while the expenses of the 19l4 fair
were trife less than the show in
1913 there was slight falling off
in the paid attendance. The admitting
free of all children under Is years of
age on the second day of the fair
probably accounts for the difference in
the gate receipts.
The question of electing officers for
the coming year was to be settled at
this meeting. President McGibbon alb
solutely refused to allow the use Of
his name, insisting that three years
was all that he could afford to give
as head of the society. Secretary
Aygarn did not feel that he could con-
sistently look after both the duties of
secretary and superintendent of the
schools, and refused to allow his name
to be considered for his old job.
Gunther Hillerud was unanimously
elected president over his protest and
A. F. Strebel was handed the secre-
tary's job after he had vociferously
protested that he did not have the
time to attend to it. ]. A. Schoenoff
was unanimously reelected vice pres
ident and D. B. Caughren treasurer.
All of the executive officers are live
ones, and they have the best interests
Of the society at heart, and with good
weather the Herald predicts that the
1915 fair will maintain its lead at the
head Of the county fairs of the state.
The following directors were elect

she never fully recovered from Sc
we're surgical operation which she un-
derwent about six years ago. 1t was
generally known that she was crit
ically i'll, but her demise was a shock
to the community.
The deceased was true woman in
every sense. She was quiet in her
tastes, but her friends appreciated her
real worth.
The Herald family extend heartfelt
sympathy to Bro. Eddy and his heart
broken children.
The following obituary was written
by one who knew her intimately, but
other friends will insist that no eulogy
written could do her Justice:

Frank M. Eddy, died at the family
home in Sank Centre, Thursday, Nov.
10, 1914, at 1915 p. m, and was in

where her girlhood days were spent.
She attended the Normal School at

Holyoke College for Girls for two
years, and was a member of the
Mount Holyoke Alumni Association.
She taught school a number of years
in Illinois, Nebraska, and one term in
Minnesota, where she became ac-
quainted with her future husband who
was then Clerk Of Court of Pope coun-
ty, Minnesota.
They were married at Washburn,
ILL.,, June "a, 1886, and made their
home in Glenwood and Sank Centre
ever since, except for six years when
she, with the children, accompanied
her husband to Washington, D. C.
Mrs. Eddy is survived by her hus-
band, five children, Mrs. H. D.

CABINET MARCH 4
PERSISTENT RUMOR THAT THE
PRESIDENTS CHIEF ADVI-
SOR WILL RETIRE.
LOOKING FORWARD TO 1916
COMMONER LIKELY TO INSIST
THAT WILSON BE SATISFIED
WITH ONE TERN

Washington, Nov. 28.-From
usually well-informed Democratic
source, the New York Herald hears
that William Jennings Bryan will re-
tire from the cabinet on or about
March next. Though the Herald has
no official confirmation, so far as can
be determined, where no i'll wish to
Mr.. Bryan could be parent to the
thought. No suggestion Of a schism
with President Wilson was contained
in the report and the initiative for the
change in the cabinet was said rather
to lie with Mr.. Bryan than with the
President.
Mr.. Bryan was described as desiring
relief from wearing routine of execu-
tive duties, which have become vastly
magnified in the State department by
the European war. The suggestion Of
the informant was that Mr.. Bryan will
leave the cabinet Ito grid up the loins
of Democracy" for the battle Of 1916,
task to which Mr.. Bryan referred in
the last issue of the Commoner.
FEDERAL BANKS OPEN
The Federal banks are now open for
business throughout the country and
this week the First National Bank Of
this city received an installment of
currency issued by the Federal Re-
serve Banks. The bank bill is an ar
tistic piece of work and the rugged
features of Abraham Lincoln adorn
one side of the note. The Herald ed
itor was allowed to have one of the
bills of the smaller denomination in
his hands momentarily.

To The Public.

In regard to the Fire and Tornado
Insurance business. The matter
seems to grow more complicated ev-
cry day. Insurance is something
that is absolutely necessary in bust
ness, and otherwise. Some insure
from necessity, others insure for the
qualification of being protected.
Some know that it is hard matter
to get Insurance under the present
circumstances, others think that
matters will adjust themselves in due
time, but when, we nor no one else
knows. We are not alarmists, nor
do we put this before the public for
self ACKNOWLEDGMENT or profit, we
only want to remind the public who
wants or may want Insurance that
they had better place it now. There
are only six companies left in the
city, two of which we have the good
fortune to represent at present, but
we don't know when they will with
draw. If you want Insurance, look
to your interest and get it now.

The Naked Question.

The first real encouragement that
hfhe opponents of the Democratic
party have found since the inaugu-
ration of Woodrow Wilson is offered
by the present contention over the
repeal of the canal tolls exemption.
The discipline harmony and effici-
ency with which the Democrats dis
appointed expectations through the
difficult constructive work of tariff
and currency legislation have consti-
tuted the surprise of modern polite
al history. And as great surprise
now develops in the fact that hav-
ing triumphed in that work it should
be split over such question as ship
subsidies, and that such split should
be led by Democratic captains like
Oscar Underwood and Champ Clark.
It was to be expected that the
O'Gormans and Fitzgeralds would be
lined up for the Lewis Nixons and
their Shipping Trust, but that the
Underwoods and Clarks should line
up with them simply fabbergasts
the rank and file of the Democrats
black home" They can't under
stand at all.
For the naked question, after all
is said, is whether we shall substitute
the Shipping Trust, and Democrats
have so long been taught to despise
such a proposition as heresy to
their faith, that they are rubbing
their dazzed eyes at sight of any of
their trusted leaders deserving that
faith.
The issue cannot be confused or
obscured by all the verbal sophistry
which will mark the discussion in
Congress this week. 1t is simply
! whether we shall maintain the poll
cy of ship subsidies at the expense of
the taxpayers and whether in order
to do this we shall break our treaty
obligations. The latter are clear
as clear as the English language can
make them-and the attempt to give
any other construction to the terms
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is the
|, merest quibbling, contemplate to
mstraight-forward minds and morals.
But even were it otherwise-even if
there were nothing in the treaty to
commit us to free tolls-the ques-
ton would still remain as inescapa-
BILE as ever:
Are we going to adopt the I'M
Democratic policy of ship subsidies?
And, are Democrats going to as
sumo responsibility for that policy?
