busy propagandist for Townleyism

plain some of the laws, which the
Townleyites have foisted on the peo-
pie of North Dakota.

ers at $4,000 for $5,c00,000, delve

O'Donaghue was hailed by the Non

of Kate Richards O'Hare, convicted
of disloyalty. during the war, whom
he asked President Wilson to pardon.

NONPARTISANS AT
GOLDEN VALLEY
HAVE POOR MEET
Senator Hunt, in Repudiating
Socialists, Springs Big
Surprise

Beach. May &C. = The Nonpartisan
endorsing convention in Golden Val
ley county, Saturday evening, proved
quite frost.
Senator Hunt charged the conven-
ton "That in endorsing county Of
tlcials they should not endorse any
socialists or anything that looked
like a socialist" 1t is quite surpris-
ing that the senator has awakened
so late as to the real situation con-
fronting the .[onpartisan league.
The effort to enlist soldier boys
to help save their scaps proved a
failure, they all very cautiously de-
clined.
Regardless of Senator Hunts re-
marks, the convention discovered that
after sitting the bag second time
and hat endorsed county auditor
and sheriff, two candidates being
about all they could find that would
accept the honor, and both of these
socialists. having in the past been so
registered. A few in harmony with
Senator Hunts remarks, moved that
they not endorse any candidates. in
other words undo what they had
done and quit, this plan was adopted
and wisely so.
Just how the senators remarks will
effect the election of Chas Hecker-
man for state senator is yet to de-
velop. Mr.. Heckerman makes no
secret that he is socialist and be-
lieves in it's doctrines.

State Plans
Open bitches
E. V. WILLARD PLANS SO MILES
ADDITIONAL OF OPEN DITCH,
LOO MILES OF TILE.

Minnesota will have more than $40
additional miles of open bitches and
more than LOO miles of tile drain, at
an approximate cost of S6,000,000 If
plans proposed in the biennial report
of E. V. Willard, state drainage and
waters commissioner, are developed.
This proposed additional drainage
work, when completed, will, according
to Commissioner Willard, open vast
acreage in the state for agricultural
purposes and would affect more than
70 counties.
The proposed work would con :ist tf
judicial and county bitches in addition
to the vast undertaking Of laying the
tile. The work on the open bitches
would involve the excavat:ng of more
than 100000 cubic yards of ma
terial. This material if deposited even
ly over a section of land cna mile
square, would cover the same to a
depth of approximately Is feet. A con-
tinuous drain made up of The proposed
bitches would stretch from st. Paul to
Cairo, ILL.,, Mr.. Willard said
The aggregate total lergtn Of tile
proposed is 1856 miles AM if laid as
one continuous drain, would reach
from St. Paul to the Gulf of Mexico
For every 100 miles of drains plann-
ed, Mr.. Willard said, 33 1-3 miles are
open bitches and sc 2-3 miles are tile
drains.
Of the total number of open drain
age bitches planned. approximately
$50 miles will consist of judicial, while
$50 miles will be designated as coun-
ty bitches.
The report also adds that more than
$4,000 worth of contracts have been
let for county and judicial ditch work.
This in several instances includes
work to be done on the prop scd drain
age project, but in the main is for
work other than reported as proposed
by the drainage and waters depart
ment officials.

OUTRIYALS THAT FROM OTHER
STATES IN THIS LATITUDE.

Minnesota exhibitors took the lions
share of the prize money in the corn
classes of the International Grain and
Hay show held in Chicago in connec-
ton with the International Livestock
exposition. The show is divided for
exhibition purposes into six regional
parts. Minnesota was in direct com
petition with Wisconsin, Michigan,
New York and other New England
states, also North and South Dakota
and most of Canada.

They took II out of 25 places in the
10-ear yellow corn class, one of them
being second place, and 13 out of a
possible 25, including third, fourth,
fifth and sixth places, in the l0-ear
white corn class.

Dress Up Your
Christmas Mail
REDWOOD COUNTY RESIDENTS
ASKED TO BUY LITERALLY OF
CHEEKY LITTLE STAMPS.
BONDS FOR. SALE.
MISS HARRIET MOBER, RED
WOOD COUNTY RED CROSS
NURSE TELLS OF NEED.

Miss Harriet Mober, chairman of
the Christmas Seal sale for Redwood
County, in urging people to buy the
famous penny health stamps to create
!. funds for public health work, says;
! Twenty-Five million penny health
stamps are in the hands of organiza-
tons of citizens in every county in the
state, ready to be offered to the pub
lie on December l, when the 1920
Christmas Seal Sale opened.
The sale of all these seals will pro-
vide a $4,000 fund with which public
health agencies in every county in
Minnesota may fight tuberculosis and
other deadly disease during the year.
The funds will be used to educate
children and adults in health needs
and how to combat disease for more
clinics, demonstrations, detection and
treatment and to promote better
health legislation.
The minimum quota for Redwood
county is on the basis of 10 cents per
capita which amounts to $2090.80. 55
per cent of the funds collected is plac-
ed to the credit of the Redwood Coun-
ty Public Health Association, As per
cent to the State Health Association
and per cent to the national Tubercu-
losis Association"
The county seal sale committee en-
phasizes the fact that since there are
many persons who cannot contribute,
it is necessary for the average citizen
60 invest his dollars rather than his
pennies in the health stamps in order
that the youth of this state may de-
velop into healthy happy citizens who
shall be Of maxium service to their
community, state and nation.
"Since the Christmas Seal Sale
forms the "back- bone" of the fight
against tuberculosis, the plague which
each year in the United States alone
kills on average of 100000 men, Wo-
men, and children, let each Of us do
our part in tie control of this dreaded
disease. "Buy and use Christmas
Seals and Health Bonds"
The Christmas Seal Sale is fitting
reminder of the blessings Health has
bestowed upon us this year. 1t speaks,
too, for those upon whom Health has
not smiled, and asks that we lend a
helping hand. The Health work must
go on each year to help the sick get
well, and to keep those who are well,
strong and healthy. The story it tells
is of health clinics, childrens health
crusades, of the fight against the
Great White Plague and all other dis
eases. It's motto is "Health for all and
all for Health"

Takes Many Prizes.

o. A. Goetze went to the poultry
show which was held in the Minneapo
lis Armory last week, taking with him
nineteen of his Anconas, The birds
took many prizes as follows, first on
cock, second on cock, second, third and
fifth on cockerel, first, second, third
and fifth on pullet, first and second
on pen, best on display and two eX
ira specials. Also the judges an
nounced that two of the cockerels
shown were the two best ever judged
at any show and Mr. Goetz was ask
ed to name his own price for the two
birds. This was splendid prize-tak
ing record when it is taken into con-
sideration that these birds had to COM
pete with birds of the same breed not
only from all parts of Minnesota but
also from many others of the north
west state. Mr.. GoetZe states that 1t
was without doubt one of the biggest
and best shows held in the state.

The drive for memberships for the
Federation of Farm Bureaus was
closed for Redwood County last week,
with all the townships canvassed with
the exception of two or three in which
only preliminary work was done. The
work in these will be completed when
the workers return within the next
six or eight weeks to organize the
county according to the township unit
plan which is now being used through
out the state. The membership of
Redwood County is as large as that of
any county in the state and the work
ers closed their work here with much
satisfaction.

State Tax Value
Is $2,553,671,453
ASSESSMENTS FOR YEAR 1920
SHOW AN INCREASE OVER
THAT OF 1918.

Minnesota's total valuation of real
and personal property for taxation
purposes this year, as announced by
the state tax commission, is $685.
671,4 ,453, an increase in two years of
$444, ,230,293. On the new valuation a
one mill tax, such as the state levies
for road purposes, will produce more
than $2,O0O,OO0.
While the total valuation of iron
ore in Minnesota mines this year is
lower than two years ago, figures Civ
en- out by the tax commission show
an increase of $7,487, ,692 in the valua-
tion over last year. This is due to
discovery of more extensive deposits
in various places, and to increased es-
Inmates of tonnage, especially in the
vicinity of Chisholm, although a large
amount of ore has been removed by
shipment from the jurisdiction of the
state.
The total ore valuation this year is
$568, ,727, 1856, compared with $587 ,204,-
28O in 1918. But there was a decrease
of $25, 1885, ,158 from 1918 to 1919, so
the last year has shown an increase.
Total figures on real estate assess
ments in the State for 1920, given out,
show 20 per cent increase over-1918.
The new valuation is $4,688, 1853 ,666, an
increase of SITE, ,489 ,460.
Assessments are increased both on
farm lands and on plated property,
but the heaviest increase, n per cent
falls on farm land. The new total as
sessment of farm property is ST.
1884, ,412, an increase of $5Sl, 1885,
1856.
City and village realty is assessed
at 1,407, ,O95,168, gain of $213,5s8,-
221, or nearly 18 per cent.
Under the law, farm property is as,
sessed at 33 1-3 per cent Of its full
value, city and village real estate at
40 per cent, and iron ore at SO per
cent.
The figures do not include railroad,
express, telephone, telegraph, sleep
ing car and other companies whose
property is assessed on gross earn
ings basis. Neither do they include
moneys and credits or personal prop
erty in general.
