mas eve, when all the world is plan
ming its glad day tomorrow or wish
ing it had a glad day of tomorrow
coming, and take into your soul all
of the wonder of Christmas?
Do you ever look back through the
years, happy years and sad years,
years of plenty and years of so little,
years when you laughed with the
great joy of the worlds one big
heart on Christmas day and years
when you just sat alone somewhere
and wished and wished and wished
that some of that great heart of
Christmas might have reached out
to you?
1t is a wonderful thing to do.
Somehow the looking back as your
spirit comprehends the joy of the
present brings a joy that is almost
OVerpowering.
The first Christmas days you re-
member! The days when mother and
daddy took you in as tiny tot to
see the Christmas tree, perhaps it
was just wee one or perhaps it was
very lavish one, but the tinsel on it,
even if it was just a little tinsel filed
out with popcorn, sought out and
found the love of the bright things
in your little soul and you expanded
unconsciously to the beautiful and
the joy of Christmas.
And then the days when Santa
Claus was so very real to you that
you wrote him poorly-spelled letters
telling him you wanted a dolly baby
or train of choo-choo cars and you
had such infinite faith that you
would be given what you wanted
and sometimes you were and some
times you weren't, but anyway, if
you weren't, mother and daddy had
such splendid explanation of why
Santa Claus couldn't give you just
what you asked
And then the lean Unarc Won oro

IT is JUST ONE GREAT BIG HEART OF LOVE,
THE DAY WE CALL CHRISTMAS

J
one when daddy and mother looked
at you so sorrowfully and told you
that there wouldn't be any visit from
Santa Claus that year because there
were so many other poor children
that his toys ran out. But mother
put her arms about you and Rugged
you so close and told you that you
we're her little treasure girl or boy
and that she loved you and loved
you, and daddy said: 81 bet next
Christmas is going to be different
1t wasn't a bit better the next
Christmas, do you remember? You
didn't get dolly or a choo-choo
train that year, either, but you got
some more love, and tonight, why
tonight you wouldn't undo it all for
the world. You hug the memory of
those two lean years just as mother
Rugged you. You just love them, for
it was those lean years that taught
you how a little kiddie feels when
there is no visit from Santa Claus,
and it was the memory of those lean
years that sent you out on Christmas
eve with a basket and some toys to
the home where you redeemed Santa
Claus pledges.
The great big heart of the Christ
mas day! A few days ago 1 sat by
the bed of a woman stricken with
heart trouble. In two days she was
to be taken to the hospital and her
baby boy to home.
''TeI them to let me stay at home
with my baby until after Christmas"
she pleaded. I'VE won't have much
on Christmas, but we want it to-
gether. Please?"
And the tiny boy crept over to her
side and looked at me with his big
blue eyes and he said:
1--WE are going to have a good
time, mamma and 1 are on Christ
mas"
1t is one great big throbbing heart,

The Corn Crop Insured.

It is pleasing to note that numerous
farmers in Beltrami county are
building silos Those who have not
had these structures in former years
realize their value and Importance to
the farm. There is a general feel
ing of anxiety concerning the corn
crop this year, but the tillers of the
soil who are worrying the least are
ones on whose farms stand silos.
The reason is simple. The silo
makes it possible to save the corn
that might otherwise, owing to i'm
maturity, be almost wholly wasted.
The farmer, therefore, who has
been thinking of building silo
should get into action, and the man
who has not been thinking of build
ing silo, should think and act
promptly.
This is not to say that there is no
hope of maturing the corn now grow
ing-not at all. It is to say, how
ever, that the corn is much behind
time in it's progress toward maturity,
and therefore in greater danger than
usual of being caught by killing
frosts before it is wholly mature A
silo will prevent a total loss.
Because farmers are thinking
"silo" these days the following
points as to silos are worth keeping
in mind:
The walls must be alright.
The walls must be smooth inside.
The best type of silo is round.
The roof should be waterproof.
The structure should be substan-
tial. It has to stand much pressure.
The cost should be from 50 to SIS
for each ton of capacity, provided the
total capacity is to exceed 100 tons.
A silo IA feet in diameter and 80
feet high will hold 100 tons.
One hundred tons of silage will
feed Is head Of stock for 200 days.
"A silo should be placed as near as
possible to the place at which the
sflage is to be fed, and should be on
the least exposed side or end of the
barn.
- Any type Of good silo is valuable
adjunct to the farm equipment where
there iselive stock to feed.

VOLUME OF STATES
BUSINESS INCREASES

Minnesota does not owe cent out
side the state. .--.-
In addition to this mark of dis
tinction the state occupies the proud
position of having helped out it's
municipalities and school districts
with loans aggregating $17,215, 484.
These loans are made at the low rate
of 4 per cent interest to aid the
smaller units from the states boun-
tiful supply of cash.
Has Lent SEA, 100000. .
The total amount of money the
state has lent is $23,333,284, accord
ing to figures prepared Saturday by
Walter J. Smith, state treasurer.
During the fiscal year which closed
Saturday the state lent $1,066,172.
In the bonds of other states, Min
nesota has $5,54S,000 invested. The
big amount of money which Mime
sofa is in the habit of lending is con-
tanned in the school, university and
swamp land permanent trust funds.
Volume of Business Grows. ri
Mr.. Smiths figures show the total
receipts and disbursements of the
state for the year were s45,288,104,
as compared to $42,394,955 at the
end of the 1914 fiscal year. In one
year the volume of business conduct
ed by the state increased by $685.
149.
Railroads Pay Big Sum.
The receipts of the state come from
various sources. The per cent gross
earnings tax levied by the state
against the railroads brings the
greatest revenue. Last year the
state realized $5,009,3O1 from this
source. Death is another big rev.
enue producer for the state. The
state gets it's money from this source
through the medium of inheritance
taxes levied on estates. The amount
Of such taxes collected was ST.
422,183.
$1,422,18 From Loans.
Loans paid the state during the
year brought in $1,422,183. The
mines and timber of Minnesota are
comparatively big money producers.
Royalties paid in during the year on
iron ore totaled $334,418. Timber
stumpage netted the state $423,353.
The guardians of the states rev.
enues probably would not worry
much if prohibition were to descend
on the state. The tax on liquor Ii
censes of 2 per cent brought only
$38,975. -.
Much Goes to Schools.
Of the claims made on the state
treasury for funds, the prisons and
schools get the most. During the year
aid to high and graded school totaled
$1,115,398. The semi-graded and
rural schools got $903,858. The
twine plant at the prison took ST.
O32,927. The Irvine plant returns
more to the state than is expended

GATES knew Of
. MURDER PLOT
ONE MONTH Ago
Revenue Man Thought Con
spirators His Friends.
Booth Disgorges.

Little Rock. June 2S.-David A..
Gates of Little Rock, deputy United
States internal revenue commissioner
at Washington, visited at his home
here today. He confirms the report
that conspiracy to kill him had
been unearthed during the investiga-
ton of the gigantic moonshine plot
at Fort Smith. He says that he knew
of the plot month ago, but had not
cared for the notoriety that would
follow making it public.
"Now that it is known, however"
said he, 'it may be best for me and
all concerned for tits not likely they
would attempt anything so desperate"
The grand jury investigation has
been completed, and the cases have
been set for trial Oct. Is. Mr.. Gates
thinks that nearly all of the accused
men will plead bully.
Knox Booth. former chief of the
Tennessee division. has confessed
that the plot to kill Gates was sug-
gested to him by John F. Serber, of
Atlanta. Ga, superintendent of the
Georgia division, who is under in
dictment. Booth says that he refused
to enter into the conspiracy with
Serber, and fled from Atlanta to
Montgomery. where he later surren-
dered. Booth is under Indictment on
charges OF accepting brides from the
"moonshiners" at Fort Smith and for
conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment.
Mr.. Gates has been most active in
unearthing the greatest conspiracy of
the kind ever known and says there
is more coming. Booth and Serber
both entered the revenue service I'M
der him, and he always considered
them honest men and his friends.
Mr.. Gates says Knox Booth. chief
of the Tennessee revenue district, in
his confession before the federal
grand jury at Fort Smith agreed to
return to the government the $4,000
he received as brides from the reve-
nue. violators.

BECKER Lawyers
RESORT TO new
LEGAL TACTICS
Demand of Governor That
Witnesses Be Given
Chance to Recant.

New York. June 2S-Charles Becker
has demanded through his counsel.
Martin T. Manton, that Governor
Whitman afford the witnesses whose
testimony convicted him as the chief
conspirator in the Rosenthal murder
an opportunity to recant, if they so
desire before the date set for the
execution. July -.
The move is admittedly without
precedent in criminal procedure. and
can only BE- constructed as a direct
appeal to the conscience of the COVER
nor. whose activities as district at
torneys resulted in the conviction of
Becker.
The plan is understood to call for
designation of Justice of the SUI
preme, court who will advise the wit
nesses of their rights concerning i'm
munity, and supervise the taking OF
new testimony.
The chief witness concerned is
lack Rose who swore at both trials
Rocker ordered him to have Rosen-
thai killed and Admitted he hired the
four gunner who have been exscut-
ed.
The others are Louis r'Bridgie'o
Weber, Harry Vallon, Sam Shepp
and Morris Luban. all of whom cor
roborated the story told by Rose.
They were given immunity from
prosecution under an agreement re-
ouested from the courts in return for
their services to the state.

The Inferno tional News Service
learned today that this was the char
acter of the appeal made to the Cover

ZAPATA CHECKS CARRANZA.
Bandit Chief Has $4,000 Men to
Defend CaDitaI.

Washington, June 2S.-Official adj
vices to the state department today
make the surprising revelation that
General Zapata is in command OF an
army of $4,000 men which is defend
ing Mexico City against the attack
OF the Carranza forces under Cen
eral Pablo Gonzales.
While the report is not absolutely
confirmed that the army of Gonzales
has been defeated, it is stated that
Carranza is endeavoring to rush
forces to the assistance OF General
Gonzales. The authentic report that
Zapata has $4,000 men indicates that
Gonzales will have to withdraw to-
ward Vera Cruz unless his forces be
greatly increased.
A coed deal of information. which
has come from Mexico City, wa s
brought to Vera Cruz by courier from
the British legation at the Mexican
national capital. Mr.. tHoler, British
charge d. affaires, started a mes
senger from Mexico City on the 23rd
and he. arrived at Vera Cruz on the
9th. This courier has confirmed the
report that Gonzales forces, which
attempted to take the city from the
north. were routed with loss of am
munition and commissary supplies.
Business has been suspended owing
to the constant dread of a battle
WA ged in the streets of the city. The
food shortage is causing great con-
Germ. The shortage has been made
worse by the great increase in the
army of Zapata, which has grown
from 5000 to an effective Army corps.
The success of Zapath has DIS
posed OF any hopes Carranzistas may
have had of speedily controlling the
military situation, and making bid
for recognition by President Wilson.
Dispatches from Admiral Howard
on the west coast say that conditions
affecting Americans there "are re-
assuring"
The situation at Progreso, in Yucca
tan, where the authorities are report
ed to be interfering with the arrange
ments for the export of sisal to the
United States, forced the navy depart
ment today to give orders to the
Marietta to proceed to that port. The
Marietta was bound for Vera Cruz.
A dispatch to the Carranza agency
tonight from, Carranza instructed it
to deny again that "any people are
dying Of hunger in Mexico Carranza
says there is flood shortage at some
points, but that Eat most places there
is food in abundance"
