DUEFROM DISTRICT
Mr.. Johnson Claims Part of
Fines Collected in Courts
Belongs to U. S.
ANOTHER BIG SUM IN VIEW

The sum of s235,75o.ss, which Chair
man Ben johnson of the House District
committee claims has been collected
as fines in United States cases and
turned over to the account of the Dis
trict of Columbia, will be returned to
the United States, il the present pro-
gram in the House is carried out. Tho
discovery of this fact is a development
in the general investigation which has
been going on under the auspices of the
District committee for several years.
Chairman Fitzgerald of the appropria-
tons committee has told Chairman
johnson that the legislation providing
for return of this money to the
Treasury probably will be carried in
the next appropriation bill. which will
be the general deficiency measure.
Asks Continuance of Inquiry.
Meantime Representative johnson
asked the House today for authority
to continue the general investigation
Of the accounts between the United
States and the District of Columbia,
with an appropriation of $500. The
resolution he introduced is similar to
previous resolutions on the subject al
lowing the investigation to be con-
tinued. He asks that the members OF
the committee who Will be in the Sixty
fifth Congress be granted this extension
of authority.
The new item of 1926. 750.Ss. due the
United States, according to Chairman
Johnson, is explained by him in this
way:
The salaries and expenses of the
Supreme Court of the District of Co
lumbia are paid half by the United
States and half by the District of Co
lumbia. That court tries two classes
of offenses-one. offenses against the
District; the other, offenses against the
United States. 1t has collected fines
from both classes and the fines have
been turned over to the District OF Co
lumbia. Ny contention is that the
fines from offenses against the United
States should be turned over to the
United States, and the controller of
the currency has written an opinion
which shares that view.
Additional Sum Due, He Says.
Mr.. Johnson said also that it would
be safe to say that. in addition, the in
vestigaton of the account seems to
show that at least another 100000 will
be found by him to be due the United
States. When asked where this would
be found Mr.. Johnson said that every
item is being examined, but that it Is
too soon to say exactly what accounts
will be found to be erroneous.
Representative Johnson has prepared
a memorandum showing that his COM
mittee has recovered prior to the Six
ty- fourth Congress the sum of ST.
$50, 70386, and that during the Sixty
fourth Congress 1t has recovered S5ls,
505.14, a grand total of S2.20s,2 0s. These
totals include the refunds on account
of the Government Hospital for the In
sane, Washington market rentals. past
and future, and interest on the 800
bonds.

Land clearing by contract is much
needed in the "cut-over" parts of the
Northwest. Many new settlers from
the prairie country prefer to have
their land cleared, but it has been
almost impossible to do so except by
day labor, and such labor has gener-
ally been inexperienced and unsatis-
factory.
w. w. Rabey and L. M. Lathrop OF
Hill City, Mimi, have done much in
the last season to encourage land
clearing by contract. They have
demonstrated that this Wr''- NAV be
undertaken with profit at price mat
the average farmer can we'll afford to
pay.
The biggest problem has been the
handling of stumps after they have
been pulled. A common practice has
been to crack large stumps with
Dynamite either before or after
pulling. This may still be necessary
with certain kinds of stumps, but the
men mentioned have found that big
white pine stumps can be torn apart
with a root pillow and pulled out in
pieces. Having been pulled in this
fashion the stumps are more easily
piled. Mr.. Rabey has also built a
gasoline power stump piler for stumps
that are too large to be piled by mana.
Having tested the method Named

LOCKED IN ICE BOX.

Mrs. Bever Palzer, the wife of a
butcher at Perham, accidentally lock-
ed herself in the meat market ice box,
recently, during the absence of her
husband. She had gone into the shop
to get some meat for supper and in
her hurry she forgot to place a stick
in the door of the ice box, which has
a spring lock. When Mrs. Palzer dis
covered the difficulty she tried to
make herself heard, but the insulation
was too thick for any sound to be
heard. The baby had been left in thu
kitchen with a hot fire going ant
she was almost frantic before she
finally broke the three thicknesses Of
glass that formed the window and at
tracted the attention of a man wht

Land Clearing By Contract
A Need in the Great Northwest
Issued by State Committee Food Production and
Conservation for the Commission of Public Safety

Mr.. Lathrop took contracts for clear
ing land. The land cleared was cut
over white pine area, with about 100
stumps to the acre, averaging ~
inches in diameter. There was also
some good-grown poplar. T>"ne men
and a team operated the -pulier.
Wages were figured at So day for
man-labor, and Sc for man and team.
The average labor cost for men and
teams for pulling, piling, anG burn
ing was $20.39 an acre. Dynamite
cost $3.78 an acre. The price of the
stump-puller was $3.50. The piler
could probably be built for $500 or
less. The cost of the stump-puller
and the stump-piler per are for
clearing large acreage of land would
probably be less than 81 an acre. AT
this rate the total cost was about
$28.17.
Mr.. Rabey and Mr.. Lathrop believe
that land-clearing handled as bust
ness by experienced men will greatly
reduce the cost. With land-clearing
tie biggest problem in the develop
ment of Northern Minnesota, land
clearing school would be profitable
investment for the state. A school
of practice to train men to engage
in the business of land clearing is a
move that should be made in the near
future-A. J. Mcclure, Agricultural
Extension Division of Minnesota.

In all communities there are many
people who can make use of this ap-
parently worthless material for fuel
in their kitchen ranges in place Of
coal, or by people who are not
abundantly supplied with the worlds
goods, who cannot afford coal at al
most any price. The difficulty in OBJ
tanning permission from the owners
of timber tracts to gather this tim
Der, should be overcome by desire
to assist our nation in outstanding
every resource and at the same time
assist those in the community who
will find it hard to provide them
selves with fuel even though it might
be available. Those who have always
been abundantly supplied with coal
will experience sense of security
with several loads of this sort of
fuel in the back lot. The greatest
value, however, would be in the fact
that it would supply great number
of families who are not in position
to use more expensive fuel and who
would be eager to seize any appor-
tunity that might be offered them to
obtain their winters fuel from the
neglected timber tracts of nearby
farmers.
Organized effort can we'll be made
to good advantage in every commun-
ity, to see that those who can use
this sort of fuel in place of coal, are
provided with all that they can use,
or given an opportunity to secure it
for themselves. It will prove very
useful and economical if properly
handled.

FARMERS SOAKED AGAIN.

Claiming to have had his old Model
One Linotype machine demolished by
enemies some time ago, Editor Carl
Void, of the Park Region Echo, at
Alexandria, started a campaign to get
cash and long time subscriptions to his
paper, for the purpose Of repairing
the damage done. He was so success
full among the farmers that Void now
claims enough money to install a
$2,750 machine. More than this, the
machinist who set up the new linotype
sin the office last week stated at Osakis
that the old machine could have been
repaired for $50.

In the face of an almost certain

ENTERPRISE.

There are fewer meat animals in
the U. S. today than there were in
1910. TIL population of the U. S.
today is estimated at about 100, 900
900 an increase of 100000 over that
of 1910. To meet the demand of
meat in 1910 it was necessary to i'm
port 195,93S animals; in 1916 1891
animals. Today's war conditions
make it impossible to import any such
number of meat animals as we'll as
necessitating the exporting of large
numbers. Hence the per capita con-
sumption of meat in this country
must be reduced.
Meat we know is a protein food,
therefore let us consider the sigGi-
fcance of protein in the diev. Pro-
tein is absolutely necessary for the
growth and repair of the body tissue.
since all body tissues and fluids con-
tain protein. Each days work re-
suits in wear and tear to the body.
Only protein can replace protein;
hence the wear and tear must be made
good from foods containing protein.
Of the body requirement it is estimat-
ed that about one-tenth should be
supplied by protein. For this reason
each days dietary should include
some food or foods rich in protein. The
board of nutrition experts recommend
70 grams or 80 calories daily from
protein and of this required amount
of protein one-fourth to one-third
may be supplied by cereals including
bread.
Meat, fish, cheese, eggs, peas,
beans, milk, and nuts all contain
large per cent of protein. Since meat
is one of the most expensive items on
the food bill of the ordinary family
and since the supply is so short, it is
considered desirable that other pro-
tein foods may be consumed in larger
quantities to take the place of the
meat formerly eaten.
1t is not advisable to eliminate meat
entirely or go to extremes in this mat
ter, but we may reduce the expendi-
ture by reducing the amount purchas
ed; by getting cheaper cuts and COM
pensating for any toughness and less
desirable flavor by careful prepare
tion;. and by utilizing meat more COM
pletely, including the trimmings,
bones and leftovers.
A good plan which many house
wives are already following is to
have one meatless day a week and
in the place of meat on that day
serve some meat substitute dish, such
as nut and rice loaf, baked split peas,
baked beans, nut and cheese loaf,
escalloped or baked fish.
France and Italy have long used
meat enocomically, depending on the
use of small amounts of meat to ex-
tend the flavor in soups, stews or
pastries and in this way making the
vegetables savory.

ties of common food materials fur
