gasoline has become a necessity on al
most every farm for the running. Of
gasoline engines and tractors and al
so automobiles which are getting to
be as common in the country as in
the city, farmers as we'll as every
consumer of these products ought
vigorously to oppose this form of
taxation. "A tax of one cent gallon
Of gasoline would amount to approx
mately $4O,OO0,OOO. A tax Of ten
cents barrel on crude oil would ag-
gregate at least .$26,000,000 and a
tax of SIS on each automobile would
mean $13,75O,OO0, or total Of $780,
100000 on all these items. What
crimes have thse users of petroleum
and it's products or the owners of
automobiles, committed that they
should be thus Disseminated against.
If those who shout for bigger navy
and a big army have no other way of
raising the money they may as we'll
stop right where they are.

The Farm Crops Show at Crooks
ton next week (Feb. 7-12), is an
event of the greatest Importance to
every farmer and business man in the
the Minnesota Red River Valley. BY
means Of this great annual show the
cause of better farming has been CIV
en- a great stimulus, the effects Of
which may be seen on hundreds of
farms in each Of the counties repre-
scented at the show. Let no one get
the idea that the Crookston Farm
Crops show is a small, unimportant
affair, because it is not. It is really
one of the biggest Of it's kind that is
pulled off in this country, and is in
every way a credit to the enterprise
and public spirit of the city Of Crooks
ton, which stands as sponsor for the
undertaking. The great object of the
show is to promote and encourage
agriculture in the counties of the Red
River valley and with that end in
view very liberal prizes are offered
for best exhibits Of farm products.
Marshall county farmers have carried
off many prizes at former shows and
will surely capture many of the prizes
that are offered this year.. We hope
to see Marshall county we'll repre-
scented at the big show next week.
Farmers should send their best prod
ucts also go there themselves to study
and learn by comparison with the best
products from other counties and by
rubbing up against other farmers
from far and near. Every farmer
who can spend a few days at the
Farm Crops Show at Crookston next
week, will find it to be time well
spent. aa

Editor and Farmer Make Strong Team

Editor and Farmer Make Strong Team
This must be fine town, with a
Strong spirit of cooperation between
It and surrounding farms. I've
never been there, but I'd like to go.''
This remark was prompted by a
glance thru the columns Of one of
the best country weekly newspapers
published in Wisconsin, which radi-
ates progress, good will and prosper
lity, and unconsciously has come to be
the best advertising medium its COM
immunity possesses.
It is successful because it serves
the community faithfully and reflects
in each issue the life and work Of the
largest percentage of it's readers.
Service to the community cannot be
accomplished by an editor alone, how
ever. He needs the help Of the farm
Ter and his family in several ways.
Among these are:
BY subscribing to the paper.
By writing the editor or visiting
the Office occasionally with items of
interest, intelligent criticism, or
praise for good items. This shows
interest and lets the editor know that
someone is watching.
By advertising livestock, poultry,
produce, lands, or pure-bred seeds.
By placing orders for job printing
such as bill heads, letter heads, bust
ness cards and public notices in the
home printing office.
By telling merchants and profess
sional men when their advertisements
in the home paper are effective.
By helping the editor to secure and
keep live, accurate correspondents in

Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
has taken his stand in favor of a big
navy, that shall be next to Britain's,
and a large army. Evidently the
senator is living over again the days
when he as a young man was imbued
with the martial spirit and shoulder
ed his gun in defense Of the Union.
But if the country had been as well
prepared for war then as he wants it
to be now, and the army and NUM-
tions of war as we'll as the principal
defenses of the country were in the
hands Of the sympathisers Of the
south, as was largely the case, then
Mr.. Nelson might carry even more
holes in his anatomy from rebel bull
let's, than he does now, and it is quite
possible that the United States senate
would never have had an "Uncle
Knute" to grace it's chamber. But
why does Senator Nelson want navy
that shall stop short of Britain's?
Why not a navy that is capable of
knocking the proud navy Of that coun-
try into splinters as well as every
other navy that floats on the bosom
of the deep? If we go in for con-
trolling the sea, let us make no half
way job Of it. And then for a big
army. It matters not that thousands
Of Senator Nelson's constituents have
left their native countries Of Norway,
Sweden, Germany, Russia and other
lands, to escape military service, the
senator now proposes to re-enact on
free American soil the very militarism
which they have come here to escape.
No institution in the Scandinavian
countries is more unpopular and de-
nounced than that Of military service.
It will be the same in America.
A sweeter ring and far more in
harmony with American ideals and
traditions, and the aspirations of hui
mainly, have the words of Mime
sota's Junior senator, Moses E. Clapp,
who, when the fifteen miles petitions
against munitions shipment were pre-
sented to congress, said:
81 believe the awakened consci-
ence of a proficient Christianity Of a
proficient nation will sweep away the
sophistries that have supported,
munitions exportations).
ut doesn't look right to me that we
should send to the destitute and home
less children and women of Europe on
one day a vessel loaded with food and
clothing and then a vessel loaded with
munitions Of war to make more desti-
tute and homeless children and wo-
men,"

Why It PAYS To Read The Ads.

There is every advantage in trad
ing with the firms that advertise.
The non-advertiser who tells you he
can sell cheaper because he spends
no money for advertising, shows by
that very argument how little he
knows of modern methods Of mer-
chandising. You, yourself, know he
is wrong. Do you ever go out Of
town to trade? If you do, you do
not go into the city and hunt up the
stores whose advertisements YOU
have never seen. You hurry to the
stores you are familiar with through
their advertising. Ask yourself then
if advertising pays. It pays the store,
and it pays the customer.

Representative Mann, the republi-
can leader in congress, declared the
other day in speech that there is
more danger of war with England
than with Germany. That means, of
course, that we must build still more
battleships in order to be able to
knock the British navy into smither-
Gems. The manufacturers Of war
munitions and supplies have gotten
in their work fine, to be sure. First
they scare us with Japan, next with
Germany and now with England.

Was Big Figure In Baseball
1t was nine years ago this spring
that Harry Lord broke into league
baseball. although it was before that
the Portland fans were we'll acQuaint-
ed with him as they followed his work
while a member Of the Bates College
nine and with the old Pine Tree Club
then managed by Pop" Williams. He
made his first appearance In baseball
in 1906 when he signed with the Wor-
cester Club Of the New England
League and showed such ability that
Manager Hugh Duffy then In Provi-
dence quickly grabbed him for his
Providence Grays which in 1907 with
Chadbourne. Mcconnell and others was
considered the greatest minor league
baseball club ever assembled. In the
fall Of 1907 he was sold to the Bos-
ton American League Club and at
once made good For several seasons
he was considered to be the greatest
third baseman in ire American League.
Goes to White sex
| 1t was again In 1910 that Lord and
Duffy came together again. In that
year Duffy was manager Of the Chi
cago American League club and at
once tried to put through a deal that
would land Lord with Comisky. As
Lord was not satisfied in Boston the
deal was made and Duffy was very
jubilant in being able to secure his
former third sacker. and in 1911 he
was made captain Of the White Sox.
He remained with the Chicago club
until 1914 playing third base and later
the outfield. In 1914 Lord left the club,
returned home and refused to report.
Last year following nearly a years
lay-off he was able to secure his re-
lease from Chicago and signed to man
age the Buffalo Federals where he
played at third base last year.
The merger Of the Federals last win
ter again found Lord attached to no
club so he signed with the Lowell club
as manager. Since joining Lowell.
Lord has been showing fine form hit
ting over 300 and fielding faultlessly.
He has made a great hit in the Mas
sachusetts city and has the fans with
him to the end.
During his career in the majors
Lord was always considered a timely
hitter and on several occasions was in
the select 300 class.
Lord. who Is one Of the best known
figures in the country's baseball for the
past 10 years. will make a valuable
addition to that club and a big boom
and drawing card for the Trolley
League.
