Many interesting items will be brought up for discussion at the an- nual town meeting. If the voters will remember that the town hall, not the village drug store and barber shops, is the place to settle them, perhaps there would be less criticism heard next year.

CATTLE MARKET

Prices OF Most Kinds Still Show Some
Advance for the Week. Hog
Market Steady to Strong.
Pigs soc Up.

South st. Paul, Mimi, May 7, 1921
With very light receipts here and else
where early days of the week cattle
prices scared rapidly until the end of
the mid-week session. The first three
days saw a gain of around 75c on most
classes of killing cattle, with spots in
the beef steer trade looking $1.00, or
more, higher. Increased marketings
of Thursday and Friday caused a
slump and around soc of this gain was
lost. A considerable number of beef
steers sold over $500 in the weeks
trade, and best kinds were eligible to
this price, or better, at the close.
Market toppers for the week were
some choice yearling steers and heif-
ers, averaging SIS pounds, and selling
to city butchers at $500. A fair show
Ing OF both heavy and handyweight
steers sold from $500 to $3.50, bulk

heifers are quotabIe from $500 to
$500, with bulk of butcher she stock
selling from $3.50 to $6.75. Heavy
bolognas are moving at prices ranging
from $4.25 to $4.75, with a few choice
ones up to $500. After gaining a dol

Farm Bureau Favors
DowelI Roads Bill

Huron, May 10.-Farmers own and
operate fully SO per CEN of the auto
mobiles and trucks of the country, the
total of which now exceeds 1900, 900.
They wore out fully half OF the q ,000,-
their share Of the 1000, 900 tires re-
juired this year to keep the cars run
ming. Farmers are interested in a road
program which takes into considera-
ton the development of the road sys-
tenn of their state and at the same
time makes provision for inter-county
and interstate highways.
These are some of the reasons why
the American Farm Bureau Federation
favors the Dowell good roads bill now
before congress instead of the Town
send bill. The Townsend bill provides
cross-country trunk lines or boule-
wards "for those who have the money
and time to idle away in long distance
tours; while the Dowell bill would fur
nish more local roads available for
farm-to-market purposes and which
are of service to all the people"
Objects TO Forming New Commission
The American Farm Bureau fedora
ton objects to the provision in the
Townsend bill which would create a
highway commission of five members
who would receive a salary of $4,000
ealh to manage what is substantially
now the Bureau of Roads in the de-
partment of agriculture. 1t is com
mission is created undoubtedly it's
first o would be to take over bodily

engineers, specialists, inspectors,
clerks and other employees. This
does not seem to be In accord with the
avowed intentions of the Republican
administration to curtail expenses, ELI
inmate commissions, simplify govern
ment machinery and to put more bust
ness in government and less govern
ment in business"
Washington To Locate State Roads
The Townsend bill would give the
commission located in Washington
power to designate all roads in the
state which shall receive federal aid,
although the states will be required to
pay at least half the cost Of construc-
ion. The Farm Bureau federation does
not agree to the elimination Of the
voice of he state in the determination
OF what highways are to be improved
by federal assistance since only n
small proportion of the traffic on roads
is other than local
Federal Road Gang in Each State
Under the Townsend act, the Farm
Bureau points out, the state highway
officials would be given the privilege
of supervising the construction of the
very exclusive system of contemplat-
ed roads, but would have nothing to
say about what roads are to be i'm
proved or the character Of the improve
ments. The federal highway commits
sion will be empowered to purchase
and operate equipment for the main
tenance of roads which the state fails

STATE BOND BUYING
INDICTMENTS KILLED
Travis, Wendell and Judson
Freed From Charges by Su-
preme; Court Decision.
NO EVIDENCE OF CRIME
Nothing to. Justify Jury in
Concluding Intent to Steal,
Says Justice McAyoy.

The hue and cry raised over the
methods State Comptroller James A.
Wendell and former State Comptroller
Eugene N. Travis used IN buying bonds
for the State sinking fun. through AL
bert l.. Judson, dealer. came to noght
yesterday when Justice John ". Nc
Avoy in the Supreme Court dismissed
the indictments against the three.
Charges of grand larceny and audit of
false vouchers were contained in the
four counts against each defendant.
Justice McAvoy's decision. made after
hearing arguments for and against dis
missing the indictments and examining
the Grand Jury records. held in brief
that the evidence Of crime was insult
cient to warrant the cases going to trial.
The indictments were returned by the
additional Grand Jury on December 29
last. after a John Doe inquiry in the
Criminal Courts Building. which dis
closed that Travis. while Comptroller,
and Wendell. then his assistant. had
$4,000, 600 Of State funds to invest in
bonds; that they favored lots offered
by Judson which generally were priced
higher than the market and in purchas-
ing from him spent hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars more than was neces-
sary. The specific transactions on which
the indictments were founded. involved
an alleged larceny in this manner OF
S2a0,650.
Through skilled counsel the Defend
ants, in General Sessions. moved for the
dismissal of the indictments, when the
case suddenly was transferred to the
Supreme Court. A legal fight was waged
TO determine the right of the Supreme
Court to take cases away from the other
tribunal, which resulted In a victory for
the Supreme Court. The motion to dis
miss the indictments was renewed then
in the Supreme Court.
Justice McAvoy's decision doubts that
larceny could be predicated on a sale of
bonds to the State just because the price
was higher than the market. and holds
that no number of reiterated occurrences
of a similar nature would make out
criminal intent" Other incriminating
circumstances must therefore be looked
for. he finds. there being no proof or
inference of gain to the defendants other
than Judson."
Dispatches from Albany last night
quoted Comptroller Wendell as being
deeply gratified over his exoneration.
Attractions to public office are not
over numerous in these days of keen
business competition" he remarked.
saying It was disheartening to be at
tackled on the eve of election-the John
Doe hearing occupied the six weeks
Just before last election-and that the
decision lifting the cloud of indictment
leaves him rejoicing that he can con-
tinue his public labors In peace.

DAY EXPRESSIVE
OF A NATIONS
Gratitude

Turkey and cranberry sauce, crisp
weather, a general sense of well-being
and football are in the air at the very
mention of Thanksgiving, writes Mar
guerite Samuels in the New Orleans
Times-Picayune.
But football and too much dinner
are not, in the final analysis, all of
Thanksgiving There is a deeper, in
spirational side to the day set aside
through three hundred years Of Amer
lean history as the great national
celebration of gratitude.
DO you remember the simple story
of that first Thanksgiving day as you
read 1t in your primary reader? And
the thrill of thankfuness for national
greatness and goodness that came to
you as your chubby fingers drew de-
formed turkeys and round-eyed Pill
grim fathers on the school blackboard?
1t was in 1921, the fall following
the landing at Plymouth, that the Pill
grims celebrated the first Thanksgiv-
ing day. The little colony, one hun
dred and two souls who had Jared
westward from England for their con-
sciences sake, had weathered the
storms of the Atlantic and the worse
hardships of a New England winter,
and they had won through at last
to sort of lity-comparatlvely
speaking.
Back from the rocky coastline of
Massachusetts, with It's thunder of
limitless waves, a little group of log
houses crowded together behind the
tall stockade, feeling safe in their
nearness to each other.
Garnered corn filled the barns and
the storerooms Of the houses were
pUngent with ripe apples. The colony
felt firmly established in the New

footed Indians had begun to under.

WOOD FAMINE SURELY AHEAD
Measures That Alone Could Have Pre-

The cost of wood may fluctuate, but
the general direction of the prices for

the movement will gain tremendous
impetus few years hence. There is
going to be a wood famine in this
country and little can be done to pre-
vent 1t. We have prOcrastinated too
long. Much can be done, however, to
alleviate and shorten its duration.
Forest protection is one Of the prophy-
Tactics. out of S22,00000O acres of

We are cutting this remainder at the

A four-year-Old boy visiting in Co.

experience in the country, having
lived all of his life in a large city.
His knowledge of plants was limited
to those he had seen in parks and in
the very small yards in city homes.
He was driving in the country with
relatives, and the machine passed a

with a brushlike tip, The youngster
regarded the grass with bullying eyes,

his successors is an open question !;
