MEETING.

A. H. Vernon returned Monday night
from Indianapolis, Ind, where he at
tended meeting Of the national execu-
tive committee of the American Le-
gion of which he is director from Min
nesota.
A plan was formulated at the meet
ing for the continuance of American
Legion magazine subscriptions until the

to Communist Brom s rearrest, was dis
cussed and the committee agreed that
drastic steps should be taken. A reso-
luton was adopted condemning Baker s

partment has been an aid to agitators.
The department Of justice will be asked
if there is a way to secure the rearrest
Of Broms.
A resolution was adopted calling at
tention to the resolution Of the nation
al convention regarding German operas,
also regarding giving relief to civilian
population Of enemy countries except
through approved channels.

FARMERS CAN AID TAKING OF
CENSUS

"The census Of agriculture about to,
be taken is especially valuable,' says.
Andrew Boss Of University Farm, Gin
analyZing the agricultural conditions of
the country, and of the farmers. Farm
ers often object to giving census infor-
nation, believing it will be used in con-
nection with taxation schemes which
may result in greater hardships to,
them. The census is not in any way
connected with taxation systems. It is
an honest attempt on the part of the
government to get at the facts about
farming without any idea of increasing
the burdens in any way.
"This year the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has assisted in pre-
pairing the questions that are to be
answered by the farmers. 1t is hoped
that the farmers of Minnesota will
cheerfully answer all inquiries by the
enumerators regarding their business.
The government desires to know wheth-
er the farmers are having fair chance
to succeed in comparison with other in
dustries. It desires to know whether
conditions are favorable or unfavorable
for young men who wish to start in
farming. If they are unfavorable it de-
sires to improve conditions and make
them more favorable. - 5:sss ~ eea:-,.77.as: ea:-,-7.as:
$50 far as possible in a census in
quiry, the government also desires to
learn as much as possible about the cost
Of prpoduction and the losses that farm
ers meet as part Of their business for
which they do not get credit.'

PAYS s1275 FOR sHoRTHoRN COW.

Long Prairie Leader: c. F. Miller,
who is improving his several farms with
the idea of building up fine Shorthorn
farm, purchased five head of pure bred
Shorthorns at the Leslie Smith sale in
South st. Paul last week. He intends
to visit the livestock show at South ST..
Paul January 9th and add to these pur-
chases.
The Shorthorns bought last week con-
sist of five cows, and they are eScep-
tionally fine animals. The COW "Beau-
ty,' four year old, was the top price
COW at the sale, Mr.. Miller paying
1925 for her. The other cows pur-
chased are "Orangc May,' an 1s
months old heifer; ''Countess Kelly,'
a two year old heifer; "Algor Rose
5th,' FIVE year old COW, and "Royal
Princess,' an eight year old COW. The
first three are of the beef type. The
last two are milk strain. However, we
understand it is Mr.. Miller's intention
to specialize only in the beef type.
Nj. Miller bid up to $3.50 on bull
but failed to get the animal. At the
January 9th sale he expects to purchase
sire.

THRIFT WEEK NEAR; ALL CAN
HELP SAVE,

The savings division of the United
States treasury departm e1sass. maturing
plans for National Tthffffrt Week be-
ginning January II, 1920. The purpose
Of the week, says Washington, is to
start the New Year with sound fnan-
cial program for every individual and
household.
William NJ. Lewis, director of the
savings division. says in a communica-
tion received at University Farm: ave
must refrain from unnecessary and eX-
travagant spending if we are to bring
prices down. Having saved money, it
is essential that the individual invest
safely. To this end we urge continued
investment in government securities, on
which steady and good interest returns
are assured, with full return Of prin.
eipal.' (
It is duty put upon all citizens at
this time to cut living costs as much as
possible. Children should be taught a
sense of money values by sharing to
some extent in the family financial
problems and acquiring a knowledge Of
costs. Thrift should be the slogan in
the factory, the business house, and on
the farm. Keeping machinery repair
ed, housing machinery, providing good
shelter for livestock, building fences on
the farm so that stock can have the run
Of the fields, repairing and oiling harm
ess-these are little enterprises making
for thrift and success which the hus-
bandman should not slight. Money
saved now will buy more later on.

TOURIST TRADE BIG
ADVERTISING BIG BOON TO STATE
TEN THOUSAND LAKES Asso-
CITATION REPORTS.

Tourists from other states spent &c.
100000 in Minnesota during the past
summer
This estimate, made by the ~Minpeso-
ia Ten Thousand Lakes association, af-
ter study of the hotel registers of the
state IS large summer resorts, shows that
the tourist travel this year was more
than three times greater than in 1918.
More than $4,000 automobile touring
parties came to Minnesota during the
summer for vacations, association offici-
ais said. The number of persons who
came to the state by railroad was as
great as the multitude brought by au-
tomobiles.
Advertising Responsible.
"This is. concrete evidence Of what
a properly conducted advertising cam
paign will do to create travel,' says
the report. "Previous to 1918 no
great effort was made to capitalize one
Of Minnesota s greatest assets-its ad-
vantages and attractions for summer
time recreation.
"Once the desire is created in the
minds Of all Americans and Canadians
to become familiar with their own coun-
try, it's vast resources and advantages,
we will realize that we have laid the
foundation for an immense travel, and
that American dollars will be spent in
America to see America.
"The value of American travel to
Europe before the war was not less
than $600,00G,000 year, at the prices
people had to pay in those days. The
same volume Of travel now would be
worth at least double that amount.
Travel Big Asset.
"Travel is one Of the greatest assets
of all foreign countries, and is looked
upon as Of the utmost Importance.
Americans have just begun to recog-
nize it's value. Every effort should be
made to keep this money as far as pos
sible in this country
The Ten Thousand Lakes association
points out that travel in foreign coun-
tries for many months to come will be
accompanied by all manner of discom-
fort, Inconvenience and enormous ex-
pense. Owing to the scarcity Of food
and all staple materials throughout Eu-
rope, as well as the disorganized condi-
tions prevailing, tourists will find this
continent far different from what it was
in the pre-war period, it is asserted.

NO TOYS IN ARMENIA,

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. a.
"Please, mother, if you go to America
bring back to me doll-some paper
dolls-and a rubber ball,' little sick
ly Armenian child pleaded of Miss Mary
Smith just before the young American
woman left the Near East for America
And when Miss Smith does return to
the orplanagc at Marash, about 1873
miles from Aleppo, Of which she has
been the directories for more than cne
year, she probably will take with her
some Of the first toys ever to reach the
stricken countries.
For at present Armenia and Syria are
| without toys, though some Of the chill
dren have rag dolls and something that
resembles jackstones which they play
with pebbles.
There were more than two hundred
children between the ages Of three ard
IS years at Miss Smiths orphanagc,
she told representatives of the Near
| East Relief on her arrival at New
York City.
It was during her work at the orphan
age that she took the place Of mother,
teacher and playmate in the hearts OF
the children, as we'll as being house
keeper. Many of the children there she
taught to play for the first time.
"Despite the saddened hearts Of the
children they love to play,'' Miss Smith
declared. "Even the most trihing
things intensely interest them-if they
know these originate in America. One
day a girls camp catalog arrived at
the orphanage. In it was a picture of
girl clad in bloomer suit and wear
ing a small white cap similar to those
we had made for the children. When
the children saw this they eagerly
sought their caps. Then they wouldn It
even take them off at night, because
| the Americans wore them.'
| "The impressionable children eagerly
are looking toward America. This
country now has an opportunity of pro-
ftably opening up one of the most i'm
portant and fertile fields in the East.
And the success of this work will de-
pend almost entirely on the extent Of
the work done now among the receptive
children of these countries. -

SELLER HELD LIABLE
CATTLE SOLD MUST BE AS REPRE-.
SENTED, ACCORDING TO A
RULING.

Bemidji Sentinel: County Attorney
Theo. Quale, Of Pennington county, last
week received an opinion given by c.
Lewis Weeks, assistant attorney gener-
|al, with reference to the Interpretation
placed upon the law referring to the
sale of pure bred cattle in this state,
and the responsibility of the selled for
statements made in sale bills or adver-
tisements. Mr.. Quale's letter of i'll
quiry was as follows:
"What construction does your De-
partment place on Section 472l, Stat
utes 1913, in regard to certificate Of
health furnished by the seller of pure
bred cattle for breeding purposes? The
question arises in instances where a
farmer makes public sale. He has a
considerable number of grade cattle,
possibly three or four head of pure
blooded cattle. These are sold with
the rest Of his stock. Does the fact
that his sale bill mentions that these
few head are pure blooded, or the fact
that the auctioneer makes mention of
it in offering these particular cattle for
sale, constitute sale "for breeding pur-
poses,' so as to require the seller to
furnish certificate of health before de-
livery Of animal?'
Mr.. Weeks is of the opinion that
where the buyer purchased an animal
in good faith and on the strength of
presentations made by the seller, the
latter is under the law bound to make
good, although there might be a legal
question as to his responsibility. Re-
garding this he says:
"In case of a criminal prosecution
under Section 4722, it is doubtful
whether jury would be authorized to
find the seller guilty or selling for
breeding purposes upon no evidence
other than that set forth in your letter.
On the other hand, if the successful
bidder stated that he was buying for
breeding purposes, then and in such
case, in my opinion, the seller would vi
olate the law if he did not furnish the
certificate. So, too, without so explicit
a statement of his intention on the part
Of the buyer, a jury might find that the
buyer bought for breeding purposes and
hold the seller chargeable with knowl-
edge of such intention or purpose on the
part of the buyer.'
Mr.. Quale was asked to urge persons
dealing in cattle to comply with the
obvious intention of the law even
though it is not exactly clear from a
technical standpoint that a violation
would result if certificate Of were not
furnished.
