Factions Agree to Bury the Hatchet.


Hibbing, Mimi, Nov. 24-Hibbing's
tax war between the mining compa-
MES, who refused to pay their taxes,
and the village administration, head
ed by Mayor Victor L. Power, came to
an end when the warning factions
buried the Ratchet and reached an
agreement at a mass meeting attend
ed by 1000 persons at the armory. ~
Due to the efforts of representative
business men the mining officials and
village officers were brought together.
The terms of the settlement are that
the mining companies pay their 1915
taxes in cash; that the levy for the
year 1915 be reduced to $3.50, 900; that
the council carry on the general ex-
penses for running the government of
the village at $24,50O a month, exclu-
sive of the purchase of fire engine,
~aterWorks contract and all pre-ex-
listing contracts, and that the pro-
posed bond issue be not carried out.
The issue, which practically left the
city bankrupt for seven months and
caused the issuance of paper money
by the village, has been bitterly
fought on both sides.
Hibbing's fighting mayor was vic
torious in every one of his combats
against the steel corporation and he
is the center of congratuIation from
all sides and from different range mu-
inequalities, who give him credit for
bringing about a victory over the min
ing companies.

Buy Red CrOs Seals Now.

When we realize that one person out of
every four in America who dies be-
tween the ages Of fifteen and fifty dies
from tuberculosis and that it is main
ly through voluntary subscriptions
that the fight against the disease is
initiated, we realize what the sale Of
Red Cross Christmas Seals means in
Minnesota.
The economic loss to this State an
nually from tuberculosis is ten mil
lion dollars, which means that every
one of us loses five dollars personally.
Practically all of the $500 annual
deaths from tuberculosis are prevent
able if taken in time and properly
treated. When you buy a Red Cross
Seal you help Minnesota to take
them in time" and to eliminate the
needless suffering and needless loss
occasioned by the white plague in this
State. tuberculosis leaves more des-
titute widows and orphans than any
other disease. Red Cross Seals save
families from misery.
If Minnesota raises the fund which
it should, it will mean that poverty
will not prevent the proper treatment
of tuberculosis victims. Adequate
funds will make possible the free SER
vices of physicians for diagnosis and
treatment, the care of a visiting nurse,
and the provision of proper diet and
open air living for the patient and
protective care for the families Of
the poor.
Of course we want our COM
munity to rank among the first
in per capita seal sales this year.
The way to do this is not to talk about
it, but to buy seals. Let us put them
on our calling cards, on our private
and business correspondence, bills,
packages, and everything that will
hold them from now until the end of
they year. IF each Of US purchased one
hundred seals, think of what our COM
munity and the State could do in rid
ding itself Of disease next year!

stones and poor roads. He dwelt on
the value of team work and of the
necessity of farmers and business men
pulling together. If we knew each
other better, he said, there would be
nothing to our little petty grievances.
BY boosting their neighbors farmers
boost themselves. Minnesota leads in
cooperative work among farmers.
Last year the cooperative creameries
and elevators did business of $780,
100000 and the business was constant
ly increasing. The speaker made an
eloquent appeal for harmony among
the farmers and advised all to do their
best on or off the farm. In referring
to the good feeling that should exist
between farmers and business men
Mr.. Wilson mentioned the little town
of Kiester, where the business men
turned out and helped the farmers
gravel several miles of country road
leading into the town, and the farmers
reciprocated by turning out with their
teams and assisting in crawling sew
eral blocks of streets in Hester. Not
word or syllable fell from Mr.. Will
sons lips that could be construed as
favoring the mail order houses to the
disadvantage Of the home merchant.
Mr.. Wilson made it clear that he
heartily believes in farmers clubs, but
not for the purpose of controlling poll
tics or monopolizing business. Mr..
Wilson's talk was instructive and in
teresting throughout and he had the
close attention of the large audience
from start to finish.
At the conclusion of the meeting the
committee on county federation re-
ported and recommended that a tenn
porary organization be formed, and
the following officers were chosen:
President, C. L. Jump; vice president,
George Clayton; secretary, Emil
Pladsen.
A motion was then offered and car
ried that one delegate from each of
the farmers clubs of the county meet
at some future time to draft consti-
tuition and bylaws for the county or
ganization.

The Kind of Cow That Paws.

From several years. records of milk
production and cost of maintenance it
has been found that a COW must pro
duce at least 200 pounds of butter fat
or about $500 pounds Of milk annually
If she is to pay her way. This means
10 pounds Of milk daily for 800 days.
The annual cost of maintaining a cow
is close to $500, if a man values his
labor at Is cents an hour. If a man
wants more than a market price for
feed and this bare wage, he must put
his time on COWS giving more than 200
pounds Of fat. The larger the increase
over this amount the larger his pay
will be.-Francis W. Peck, University

MURDER AND SUICIDE
FRED HELDT OF STANFORD.
F.. ISANTI COUNTY, KILLS DEL
BERT GASLIN AND. THEN
TAKES HIS OWN LIFE,
DOUBLE CRIME WAS COMMITTED
LAST FRIDAY WHILE HELDT
WAS UNDER INFLUENCE
OF INTOXICANTS.

Fred HEIDI, a farmer residing on
section IL, Stanford, Isanti county,
committed suicide last Friday after
he had murdered Delbert Gaslin, a
young man in his employ, using the
same weapon, a shot gun, in each case.
Gaslin was shot in the head, and the
murderer took his own life by sending
a charge of shot through his heart.
The dead bodies were discovered at
2 o'clock in the afternoon by Charles
Gaslin, brother of the murdered
young man, and Sheriff johnson of
Cambridge, and Coroner Swenson of
Braham were notified. They investi-
gated, and found it was undoubtedly
a case Of suicide and murder, as Heidi
left a note written in the German Ian
guage in which he charged that the
Gaslin boy had stolen $40 from him.
Later the purse with the $40 intactwas
found hidden back of the door jam.
Neighbors state that Heidi became
very drunk Thursday night, and con-
tinued his orgy Friday. He had evil
IDENTIFY hidden his money, forgotten
where he placed it, and then accused
the boy Of stealing it. 1t is presum-
ed that the murder was committed in
drunken rage over the supposed
loss of the money.
The body of the boy was covered
with bruises, and Heidi had evil
IDENTIFY beaten him severely before
shooting him. The position of the
body was such as to indicate that the
unfortunate young man had been shot
while unconscious on the floor.
The crime was committed some time
between the hours of a. m. and 2
p. M, as both Heidi and Gaslin had
been seen by neighbors at the first
named hour, and the bodies were dis
at 2 o,clocl<-4s...z5- 60
Heldt, who was about 60 years old,
was addicted to the excessive use of
liquor, and his reputation was not the
best. He is survived by a wife and
six children, all of whom left him
some six years ago, and are now liv-
ing in Minneapolis. The widow came
up from that city Saturday, and took
charge of the property.
