The action of the county commits
sioners last Tuesday on the farm bu-
reau appropriation has brought forth
scores of expressions of disapproval.
The association has been operating
for just four months and has made a
splendid showing We have but one
industry in this county, agriculture,
and if Mile Lacs is to be one of the
leading rural counties in the state we
should do everything in our power to
promote this industry. The farm bu-
reau is the farmers organization and
it is unquestionably proving to be of
great benefit to them. The officers of
our local association made an earnest
plea for an appropriation of $1,000
for the ensuing year. The majority
of our commissioners voted to cut
this amount down to $1,000. The ac-
tion of the commissioners effected a
saving of $500 but was not something
of considerable more value lost to the
county? To those working for Just
cause, keen disappointment often
brings sense of bitterness and hard
feeling-these are expensive COM
modities in which to traffic.

Bill Promises to Aid Foreign Trade.

Although protection of American in
dustries was the prime consideration
in drafting the Fordney tariff bill, it's
trainers believe they have provided
several features which will prove a
stimulus to foreign trade. The spe-
cial provisions which are designed to
aid in securing favorable treatment of
American products by other countries
include the following:
Authority under which the presi-
dent may reduce rates of duty by not
more than 20 per cent in return for
special favors granted by a foreign
country.
Authority under which the presi-
dent may impose duties equal to
those Of another country when that
nation maintains discriminatory rate
Of duty on American goods.
Authority under which the presi-
dent may negotiate commercial trea-
ties providing for reduction of duties,
or the complete elimination of duties
on specified articles, subject to rati-
fication by congress-
Authority under which the presi-
dent may impose duty on Canadian
lumber unless Canada removes it's
present duty.
Retaliatory duties on coal to be ef-
fective when duties are maintained
by Canada and any other nation.
Reduction of duties on automobiles
with a view of seeking similar cuts in
present rates of duty of France and
other countries on American cars.
Similar reductions in duties on
canned goods with view to inducing
South American countries to remove
high duties assessed against American
canned products.
The authority given the president to
reduce duties by 20 per cent is one

The Farmers Days.

There are red letter days, heydays,
dog days and variety of other kinds
Of days including the justly celebrated
'der tag" which the kaiser tried to
popularize with poor success; but the
days which now are coming toward US
and passing us in orderly although
heated succession are really more i'm
portant than any other days. They
are the farmers days and upon their
type and quality and the character
of the use to which they are put de-
pends to a large extent The prosperity
Of the country for the succeeding
twelvemonth period.
Today the chief interest of the ma
tion is centered here in the northwest
and when the winds blow hot or the
winds blow cold the universal query
is as to the effect upon the crops
rather than the effect on the bodily
comfort of the human animal. We can
worry along with almost any old
kind of a day if we feel certain that
the weather it brings will be bene-
fetal to the growing grain now so
close to- it's gathering time. When it
is dry and the ground is baked and
caked we wish for rain not simply
for reasons of purely personal and
selfish nature but because we know
that if the skies open up it will mean
bursting graneries in August.
And so the days come and the days
go with the national interest confined
almost entirely to their influence on
what the earth produces hereabouts.
There is no other interest in days so
great or so all pervading, and in thus
exhibiting anxiety and care we are
at the same time giving recognition
to the fact that the farmer rules the
world. His fields must produce if
there is to be substantial prosperity
and progress. In the last analysis the
products Of the soil form the basis Of
everything we make or do, and it
hardly can be wondered that we
think Of them most seriously in these
farmers days before the harvest.-St.

The German supreme court sitting
at Leipzig, engaged in the trial of
cases against criminals. has acquitted
another infamous butcher, Lieutenant
General Karl Stenger, who was
charged by the French government
with having ordered troops under his
command to take no prisoners and
kill all wounded. From the testimony
introduced at the trial it appeared
that Stenger did actually issue such
orders as was charged. Yet he was
found not guilty. That supreme court
is evidently veritable farce and it
might just as we'll disband as continue
its mock trials. It is true that a few
of the criminals have been given short
sentences, but those who, according to
the evidence, were responsible for the
greatest outrages and should have
been condemned to death, were turned
loose.

Dear old Bill Bryan; who is so sus-
picious of everything from which al
cohol is obtainable that he sighs when
he looks upon an ear of corn and sheds
tears when he looks into the eye of a
potato, is reported to be considering
the abandonment of his Florida home
for the reason that brcezcs from the
Bahama islands, where the nasty Brit
ish permit the distillation of ardent
spirits, watt the poisonous odor of
rum to his nostrils. The colonel
doesn't seem to- mind the atmosphere
of Florida, which is impregnated with
fumes from the pinetop gin stills,
probably because this savors so much
of turpentine and fir forests, but he
refuses to stand for the aroma of rum.
Poor Bill.

Vessels along the Atlantic coast
have been warned to look out for a
mysterious craft, supposed to be a
pirate ship, which is cutting up pecu-
liar antics. A short time ago the
dailies published in a sort of serial
form story, supposed to be of piracy,
but it ended abruptly. Something
like 80 vessels had disappeared when
the story ended. It is at least peculiar
that those vessels, sailing in the main
lanes of ocean travel, should have so
mysteriously vanished, especially in
these days when every vessel of any
size is fitted with wireless apparatus.
Or did they vanish?

President Harding is acting with
his usual poo! sense in deciding TO
forego public address for some weeks.
He desires to give all his thought and
effort to the work of his office. Such
application is not possible when
speech making must be interlarded
with executive endeavors. Neither
the work accomplished nor the
public utterances will, under such
circumstances, be so good as
each class of undertakings needs to
be. 1t is vital that Mr.. Harding give
much time to the responsibilities of
his high office, and it is not i'm
portant that he deliver addresses.
The United States and the whole
world understands his policies, which
do not need further outlining. They
merely need being made operative as
soon as possible. The presidents
ideas are sound, his knowledge of the
counry's needs thorough, his desire to
achieve the greatest good for all the
nation unquestioned. This country
has not known such combination of
qualities in the white house for some
time, which fact proves the great need
of the president continuing to apply
himself to the performance of further
deeds instead of going about the coun-
try haranguing the multitude.

in the measure in compliance with de-
sires expressed by President Harding.
This particular section contains no
restrictions relative to ratification by
congress of agreements entered into
by the president with other nations.
In the case of coal retiliatory duty
is applied automatically. While the
coal industry in the United States
generally is not concerned over wheth-
er there is a duty on coal or not, the
coal operators of the state of Wash
ington have protested because Canada
maintains a duty of So cents per ton
on bituminous coal, whereas the Unit
ed States has no duty whatever. Coal
from Vancouver is brought into the
state of Washington free of duty
while Washington coal is subject to
duty and other restrictions if shipped
into Canada.

OF GOOD COURAGE.

The long continued heat and drought
have unquestionably injured some OF
the crops in this vicinity but still, &C.
cording to all reports, conditions are
not as bad as one might imagine.
The oats, wheat and early potatoes
have probably suffered the greatest
injury, but the rye is good and the
corn promises to be bumper crop.
The one thing that would impress
anyone meeting the farmers in this
vicinity is their optimism. They GER
tainly are as cheerful as the circum-
stances will permit, and it is this spirit
that will win out every time. The
strong man with a stout heart cam
not be beaten.

The Kaber murder case is one Of
the very few in history where an at
tempt was made to introduce the tes-
timony of spooks, through medium,
into the evidence. The medium said
she could see old man Kaber and the

medium to order the shades Of the de-

an underlying current Of politics which
diplomats of the great European pow

Interest on Farmers Short Loans.

Interest rates charged by banks to
farmers of the United States for
short time loans averaged, in April
about 7.95 per cent, as compared with
7.61 per cent year ago and IT'S per
cent in 1918, according to reports
compiled by the bureau of crop esti-
mates, United States department of
agriculture, based on figures received
from county banks. The main pur-
pose Of the inquiry was to ascertain
the differences of the averages of the
various states and sections, together
with what changes have occurred
since the previous investigation made
by the bureau in 1913.
The reports show that in Georgia
the average rate is 1896 per cent.
which is the highest of any state
average. This is about 70 per cent
higher than the lowest state avcra
E per cent-rcported from several
north Atlantic states. The report
shows that in 1913 the highest state
average was almost 100 per cent
higher than the lowest average.
The figures generally Indicate that
the present spread in the different Sec
tlons of the country is not quite as
wide as formerly. In the 9 north At
lantic states the average interest rate
IN April was COS per cent. In the 8
south Atlantic states it was 7.43 per
cent. In the five north central states
east of the Mississippi river it was
704 per cent. In the 7 north central
states west of the Mississippi river it

CAROLS AS PART OF
THE CHRISTMAS
SERVICE.

IT HE origin of the Christmas carol
: " is uncertain It is probably as
old as Christianity. Indeed
Bishop Taylor in his "Great Exemplar''
remarks that the first carol is the
hymn of the angels to the shepherds
In the plains Of Bethlehem:
: "Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward men,
In the Fifteenth century carols were
widely used throughout Europe. In
fact, the first pieces printed by the
very first printers were carols. In one
OF the oldest collections appears 1.-The
Bears Head" which used to be sung
as that old dish was carried to the
table during the Christmas revelry:
The Bears Head in hands I bring
With garlands gay and birds singing:
pray you all to help me sing
Qui estis IN convivio!'
1.-The Bears Head represents one
of the convivial carols or "jolfe chan
sons" which had their place at the
'feasts, dances and other gay festivi-
ties of the Christmas season.
In Shakespeare's time bands of
'itinerant singers used to wander about
the streets and make their carolry a
pretext for getting money.
: During the Eighteenth century CAROL
ry declined greatly, and many Of the
quaint old customs which had marked
Christmas festivals for centuries be-
came obsolete
Carolry still exists in parts of Eng
land.
In Wales 1t has been preserved to
still greater extent, while Ireland,
too, has her Christmas carOling In
time-honored style. France has it's
"Noels," and in Italy Christmas carols
have been sung since the time of St.
Francis of Assist, who discovered the
power Of sacred song in the YER
nacular.
In churches all over the world many
of the delightful old carols are now a
part of the Christmas service.

ing associations, which 1 think will go
a long way toward solving the farm
marketing problem"
And solving the farm marketing
problem will go a long way toward
solving the deeper and more funda-
mental problem of properly compen-
sating the industry on which the we'll
being of the whole nation and every
body in it depends-the farm industry.
That industry, like any other indus
try, must be profitable if it is to be
successful, and America can never be
truly prosperous unless its farming
industry is profitable and successful.
Any practical step that will reduce the
gambling element in the farmers bust
ness is good for the farmer and good
for US all. And that element is I'M
fortunately prominent now. To the
farmer his life must sometimes seem
a succession Of periods in which prices
are high and he has little to sell and
periods in which he has plenty to sell
but prices are unprofitably low.
One reason for this condition is that
there are leaks between producer and
consumer. There is great reason for
hope that an intelligent cooperative
system will enable the far
mer to stop good many Of those
leaks. That has been the experience
of other countries, and in few fields
it has been the experience in this coun-
try. To broaden the possibilities of
cooperative marketing so as to reduce
these losses and to eliminate some of
the hazards of the farmers business
is very much worth doing.
In supporting this, as he has other
for the benefit of the far
mer, Senator Kellogg is holding true
to course of devotion to the best in
terests of all that is characteristic of
his service in the senaJe.-Duluth
Herald (Dem.).
