CITY FAILS

Detroit loses a lot OF money every
year In interest on funds Of the cisy
held temporarily by the county
treasurer Who gets the interest
the city doesn't know officially. altho
former county ueasurers don't deny
getting some pickings In the way Of
interest, but II does know that Il

primary school money will be sent

the time that II is delayed In the
county treasurer's Office Interest

transferred To the city only the p-in.
cipal will be transferred, IL the sys.
tenn OF other years is followed.
George Engel, city controller. says
that last year the city's portion Of
the liquor taxes, amounting 10 f336.-
900, was kept by the treasurcr's
ONCE about 10 days. During thar
time the money earned more fhan
$3.50. but the city didn't get cen:

Who got n is not known 10 Con
troller Engel
Last year the primary school fund
allotted 20 Detroit amounted TO 81.
6l0,ss3. The money was sent 70 the
county treasurer and kept by him for
several days-untll the interest
amounted 20 sl769s. Controller En-
gel sent the county treasurer a bill
for this amount. bur did not even
get courteous reply in response to
his dunning letter.
Mr.. Engel assumes that the money
went into the county funds. but no
doesn't know. He only knows that
this Juggling OF funds is costing the
city many hundreds OF dollars every
year that IL should have. In the
various funds that are handled In
this way the leaking in interest
rises TO rather Important proper
tions and amount 10 suffic/eH to
make a very satisfactory income
for one ordinary clerk at least.
Controller Fngel does not want 20
be understood as rejecting upon
anybody, but he recites the cold
facts that hundreds OF thousands Of
dollars OF city money Is drawing in
terest and that the earning power OF
that money is withheld from the
city. its rightful owner.

RED RIVER PRODUCTS
SHOWN AT CROOKSTON
Four Thousand Dollars in Prizes Of
fered at Sixth Annual Exposition
-Women's Meetings Features.

Crookston. - What the Minnesota
Red River valley gets from mining it's
soil-the wheat and oats and barley
and corn and potatoes, and what it
raises on these products-the horses
and cows and hogs and sheep and
chickens, all will be set forth at the
sixth annual Farm Crops show here.
Women's meetings will be a feature
of the daily programs, with addresses
and demonstrations by experts on vari.
Gus problems in household art and
economics. The University of Mime.
sofa has sent many of its staff to take
part in the speaking and in the judg-
ing of grains and live stock.
Cash and other prizes valuing about
$4,000 have been provided through the
assistance of Twin City, Duluth and

Further Hearings Coming.
Provides |. w. w. Probe,

After an acrimonious debate of one
hour, during which several represen-
tatiyes were demanding recognition at
the same time, resolution providing
for an investigation into l. W. w.
activities in Minnesota has been
adopted by the House. There were
less than dozen negative votes
The resolution was introduced by
Representative w. d. Washburn of
Minneapolis.
Could Compel Attendance.
Mr.. Washburn explained that many
hundreds of men had been driven from
their jobs by the 1. w. WIS and that
many of them have not sufficient
money to attend hearing here unless
the state makes provision for their ex-
penses. E
He also predicted that fear of the
I. w. WIS would prevent many work
ers who had complaints to register
from appearing unless legally sum-
moned. Attendance of 1. w. w. lead
ers at the inquiry could also be COM
PEELED under the terms of the resolu-
ton.
Labor Opposed to Agitators.
Representative A. o. Devoid of Min
neapolis objected to the resolution, de-
claring that it could have no beneficial
results.
Approval of the resolution was
voiced by Representative T. j. Nc
Grath, st. Paul, who insisted organ
lied labor was strongly against the
|. w. w. activities.

Avoid "Moyien EYestrain.

Many persons cannot attend motion
pictures because Of the annoying af-
tereffects on the eyes. Some suffer
from eyestrain and others are subject
to severe headaches. The relief, in
most cases, consists In perfectly-fitted
glasses, according to the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. The picture may not
be quite so sharp, but this is more than
compensated for by the increased com.
fort. For persons with very sensitive
eyes, a cOlOred glass, either amber,
yellowish green or amethyst, may af-
ford immediate relief. 1t is also ad-
visable for those who are liable to suf-
fer after viewing the pictures to avoid
sitting in place where it is necessary
to look upward, as the additional
strain becomes very tiresome. In the
majority of cases, however, if glasses
are correctly fitted to a person, he or
she stands a good chance Of enjoying
motion pictures without any attendant
Ill results.

Breathing Exercises.

When you take breathing exercises,
are you filling your lungs too full?
Breath control is the thing to seek
for not the crowding of your lungs full
of air.
The latter simply distends the lung
surface, makes extra cells and then
YOU have to keep on stretching your
lungs in order to keep those cells
clean! 1t is the same principle as
oyerdeveloping muscles; you develop
more muscle than you need and then
Won have to take extra exercise to
keep 1t in trim.
Never stretch your lungs. If you
have already done 1t, you cannot undo
it, but it will correct itself after a
time if you quit stretching. Breathe

State Commission to Apply Funds on

st. Paul. The Minnesota State
Highway Commission has been in
formed that $284,788 has been appor
toned to Minnesota for this year un
der the Federal aid road law as
the states share in the second annual
distribution Of the $10,OO0,OOO fund
Last years apportionment for rural
post roads was $142,394.
That amount will be increased by
$142,394 during each of the three re
naming years covered by the law
until the total amount for Minnesota
will have amounted to $2,135,91O. The
last apportionment In 1920 will be
$711,97O.
John Fl. Mullen, deputy state en-
gineer in charge of roads, said that
the commission has tentatively decid
ed on applying the Federal aid on
about 5000 miles of road connecting
all the main towns and county seats
of the state and including all the main
roads Of travel
"The commission" said Mr.. Mullen
has approved applications for Fed
eral aid amounting to about $295,OOC
and has received other applications
for Federal aid amounting to 100000
which have not yet been acted upon
The commission is now ready to re-
ceive applications for Federal aid from
the counties for future aid amounting
to the full amount of the five-year ap'
portionment. The condition under
which the applications may be ap
proved is that the county applying for
the aid must spend an amount equal
to the Federal aid asked"

fox squirrels are occasionally trouble
some. 1t is not necessary, however,
that bird lovers should wage indis-
criminate warfare against all squir-
rels. 1t is far better to adopt the rule
never to kill squirrel unless there is
reason to believe that it has acquired
the habit of eating eggs or young
birds; the result will probably be that
not more than one red squirrel in fifty
nor more than one gray squirrel in a
hundred will have to be killed. Where
squirrels are numerous they give more
or less trouble by gnawing and disfig-
uring houses. This damage may be
prevented, however, by covering the
parts about the entrance with tin or
zinc.
