Enforcement of Weed Law
Up to Authorities
United Action of Municipalities and
Town Boards Necessary to Rid
Minnesota of NoxiOus Weeds

Lots of folks don't seem to fully
realize that the situation with respect
to the enforcement of the Noxious
Weed Law is different from what it
has been for the past twenty-five or
more years. One item in particular
is provoking lot of discussion. This
is the responsibility on the part of
the township boards for the cutting
of weeds along the roadsides. Until
the passage of Chapter 320-S. F. 422,
Laws of 1921, roadside weeds were
supposed to have been cut by the
abutting property owners and the
town board members, village council
and such officers were authorized to
notify the property owners to destroy
the weeds. Now, under the provis-
ions of Chapter 800 (cited above) it
is obligatory on the town boards to
cut or cause to be cut all noxious
weeds along the road side.
(Sec. A. The governing board of
each town, village, borough or city,
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1921-10-20

shall at the expense Of such munich
patty, cause all noxious weeds stand
ing or growing upon any public road
or highway there to be cut down be-
tween the first day of June and the
18th day of October following as Of
ten as may be necessary to prevent
the ripening and scattering of seed
of noxious weeds.
Obviously the members of the town
boards did not wish to offend friends
and neighbors by ordering them out
to cut weeds even though large
majority of the farmers favor the
procedure as provided in former
laws. AS a result most of the road
sides were neglected until weed
seeds had npened. Thus the old
story of "Everybody's business is no
body's business.
Now it is to be different. The law
plainly states that the cutting of
weeds is up to the town board of the
respective township and the admins
tration of the law is in the hands of
state officials. Hence no danger of
creating neighborhood feeling" is
likely to develop. The local weed in
spector notifies the members of the
town board just as he would a farmer
or city lot owner. If they do not
comply with the notice and get the
weeds cut, the law may take its
course.
The new law was passed on the
assumption that united action was
the basic principle in noxious weed
control. Those who want to see weeds
under control and voluntarily attempt
to keep them in check will welcome
the law and it's enforcement. Those
who are Indifferent or neglectful OF
weeds will be willing to be reminded
and will fall into line for the univer-
sal effort. Those who do not sense
their responsibility to our fellow men
must be reminded of the fact and be
brought to the point of realizing that
this weed problem is not any one in
dividuals, but one demanding the at
tention of every land holder, country
or city, and of those who have charge
of lands such as public parks, roads,
streets and alleys.

of The Leaders measurement Ru-
dolph Lee, editor of The Leader, tes-
titled, as did also Sam Y. Gordon,
State Printer. Mr.. Gordon explained
in detail to the jury how the work
had been measured and said the fig
ures were correct.
The Tribune called John H. Sheets
to testify and he figured that there
had been an overcharge of $3.50.
The Tribune also called in Editor
Kalnes, of the Non-Partisan League
paper at Alexandria, and he figured
that there was an overcharge of $24.
Neither gentleman agreed with the
other and neither gentleman agreed
that the amount originally claimed
by the Tribune as overcharge, was
correct.-Long Prairie Leader.
George Hanson is out about SLID
as the result of burglary commit
ted at his restaurant early Saturday
morning when someone made an en-
try through one of the back doors
and ransacked the safe, getting away
with the money which had been left
there the night before. A dance had
been in progress at the opera house
during the earlier hours OF the night
and the theft had been committed at
ter this was over. The affair has the
aspect of having been done by some
one who was acquainted with the
place for entrance was made through
a door that is never used and in front
of which various boxes are usually
piled. The door is always hooked on
the inside, and it is very likely that
the guilty party or parties managed
to unlock it during the day or early
evening, after which it would be an
easy matter to push aside the boxes
and enter. 1t is thought also that
the thieves were acquainted with the
combination of the safe,. though this
was only partially locked. There are
many robberies and holdups through
out the country at this time and it is
the part of wisdom for all to be care
full in placing surplus cash in a place
of safety.-Brooten Review.
Mrs. VIM. Barber died yesterday af-
ternoon following paralytic stroke
which occurred on Friday. She had
been in poor health for some time past
so that news of the paralytic stroke
caused her family and friends unusu-
al concern. Her condition since Friday
had continued without change so
it was feared there was no hope for
DER and her death was therefore not
unexpected. Mrs. Barber
for many years had been prominent
in social, church and lodge affairs of
our town and her death is a great loss

ey which has remained almost unal-
tered since the foundation of the Re
public. This change will be in the
direction of bills of smaller measure
ments, particularly, the bills of
smaller values. Two reasons justify
the change. The first is of economy.
Paper which is now used for gov
eminent bank notes is made by a
secret process and is obtainable only
at high cost. At present four
bills are made from one sheet of this
paper. Under the proposed change
five bills will be made from a sheet
of the same size. Another reason
for the change is to reduce the danger
of counterfeiting. If the bills of
smaller denomination are made
smaller in size while those of larger
denominations are left the same size
as now, it will be impossible fol-
counterfeiters to raise the 81, 81 SIS
and $40 bills to higher denomination.

The "overcharge" case which the
Long Prairie Tribune, under the edi-
torship and management of the late
Mr.. Hicks took into court, was decid-
ed by jury Monday afternoon in ia
yor of The Leader.
The jury was out just long enough
ito take ballot.
Editor Hicks did not show up at
IAN and only three of the several Tri-
5une owners who petitioned to take
the case to court attended the hear
ing or were present when called upon
to testify.
This action of Hicks and the others
in ducking when the case came to
trial only helped to confirm the belief
previously entertained by most every
one who had paid any attention to
the matter that the case was only a
spite case brought for the purpose of
giving Editor Hicks something to talk
about this summer during the times |
he was not otherwise engaged in pas
sing the hat for his salary.
The case which the Tribune picked
to take to court, was the measure
ment of the tax list for 1921. The
Leader had billed the county at $543
for the work, the charge being based
on measurement of the State Printer
whose certificate of measurement |
was attached to the bill which the
Tribune appealed. The Tribune claim
ed an overcharge of 500. In support

THE GOLF LINKS
LOTS FUN.
Time Will Come When Every Sizable
Town and Village Will Have
Its Golf Links.
BASE BALL is THE
FAyORITE OUTDOOR SPORT
But Golf You Can Keep Playing
After You Are Too Creaky
In Joints for Baseball.

Baseball bids fair to be indefinitely
the favorite outdoor sport of Amer
lea. Lawn tennis probably comes
second, but closely rivalling it is the
ancient game of golf, which is MAX
ing tremendous progress in popular
ity.
The impression prevails that golf
is rich mans game. It is operated
on that basis in many places. The
links frequently cover hundred or
two acres in some suburb where
land is expensive, elaborate club
houses with costly service and res
taurants are maintained. People who
must have expensive social life might
care little sfor the game if all these
accessories were not included
But golf can be thoroughly en-
joyed, even if the greens are not
rolled and trimmed to almost billiard
table smoothness. The people who
love the game for itself need no cost
ly club house. With locker rooms
for storing their playing outfits, and
shower baths to clean up in after
their active exercise, they are per-
fectly content Many clubs have
have been successfully run on that
basis for dues of $40 to S25 a year,
with expenses totalling about equal
amount for clubs and balls. Many
hard working people spend more than
that for less beneficial pleasure.
1t is a wonderful game that clears
away the fogs from everyone's. mind.
The best of it is that you can keep
playing 1t after you are too creaky
| in the joints to go in for baseball
and tennis. The time will come when
every sizable town and village will
have its golf links.
Many other games might be men
toned that add to the attractiveness
of community. Simple old fash
ioned cToquet, with the developed
form of it called rogue, has given
pleasant diversion to millions of peo-
pie. Every playground and neigh
borhood should give facilities for
playing it. All such games prevent
people from getting restless and dis
contented. Whatever can be done in
Decorah to improve the facilities for
such sports, builds up the town just
as much as getting in new factories.

Des Moines, Iowa,-Governor N
E. Kendall has started a movement
to bring about a reduction in freight
rates on farm products and live
stock.
Unless this can be accomplished
the governor is of the opinion that
the state faces sorry future, with
farmers unable to realize the cost OF

"In these circumstances is there

The governor declares that where

In the opinion of Governor Kendall
farming can not be profitable with
freight rates as high as they now
are and with the other conditions

The Cass-Parker-Raehford shows
are coming to Decorah and will open
on July 4 for weeks engagement
on the hitching grounds. This COM
pany played Decorah last year and
gave the very best of satisfaction.
They carry company of high class
artists and put on a repertoire of
very meritorious plays. The Post
vile Herald has the following to
say about the company:
Postville, the only worlds great
estRshow town on earth, has added
another laurel to its crown of fame.
To look backward for a minute, we
jumped into the limelight some
years ago when we busted" the
seating capacity of the Gollmer
Bros. Show on their first appearance
here and about eight years later we
jumped into world prominence by
busting" the seating capacity of
the greatest amusement enterprise
on earth, Ringling Bros. Worlds
Greatest Shows. And on Monday
night of this week we went over the
top again and "busted" wide open
the seating capacity of the Cass-
Parker-Rachford Dramatic Shows
every seat was sold out, every inch
of standing room was packed and
the company was forced to close its
ticket Office and turn patrons away.
And no better satisfied audience
ever left q show tent than did that
night, for the C.-P.-R. folks are there
with the new plays and the players
to put them on in. most satisfac.
tory manner, and from the good
crowds that are attending nightly
during their, weeks stand here we
are lead to believe that they are
thoroughly satisfying all lovers of
the spoken drama, and that as be-
fore they are all ladies and gentle
men whom it is pleasure to know
and to transact business with. We
hope the good patronage being ac-
corded them will continue during
the remainder of their stay, for they
are deserving of the best patronage
any community they make can give
them, and Postville will be glad
next season to again extend to them
the gald hand of welcome.
Following is the company's roper

night, July 4, will be "Jim's Girl"
