Persons planning on good catch of
muskrats this season should beware
lest they run afoul of the new law re-
garding the taking of this fur bearing
animal. According to the statute
"made and provided" it is unlawful
to mutilate in any way a muskrat
house or to place trap inside the
house. The next question is, how can
trappers place their traps to catch the
rats if they can't make hole in the
house to get inside of them. Each
house has a shelf inside where the
rats all sit to eat their food or rest.
The approved method of trapping has
been to set the trap on this shelf.
With this ont Of the question it will
be nice cold work for the trapper to
dig q hole in the ice and burrow
around in the water until he finds the
entrance to the house and set the trap
before that. In the estimation Of the
strapper, lawmakers have queer no.
tions. Granite Falls Tribune.

Have Bought Bonds.

The majority of the organizations
of Redwood Falls have been asked to
purchase Health Bonds to aid in the
annual sale of Christmas Seals, to de-
fray the expenses of several phases of
county health work. The following
organizations have made this pur-
chase.
The Woman's Relief Corps,
The Twentieth Century Club,
The Masons,
The Knights of Pythias,
The Ladies Aid of the Methodist
Church,
The Woman's Club.
The American Legion now has the
purchase of this bond under consider
alton and it is probable that one will
be taken. Other organizations have
had no meeting since the matter has
been taken up by the women's clubs
of the city and it is possible several
others will be taken soon. Each bond
carries with it stamps which may be
used as the organization making the
purchase desires

County Fair
Receives Aid
COUNTY AGRI. SOCIETY GETS
1854 AS IT'S SHARE OF
STATE AID.

Minnesota's annual Christmas gift
to the County Agricultural Societies
Of the state went forward this week
when r. P. Chase, State Auditor, Of
ficiating as Santa Claus, completed the
mailing Of checks to the amount of
$40 0,832.97, state aid to the societies.
This aid to the agricultural associa-
<tions of the state is directed by law
and is based on the premiums paid by
the various societies, the maximum
basis of pro-rating reimbursement to
any one society being $1,700. The
largest amount received by any society
in the state is $1,564. The 1921 leg
islature appropriated $140,000 for this
purpose and this with the balance
available was divided pro-rata at the
rate of ninety-two cents on the dollar.
The Redwood County Agricultural
Society is reimbursed to the extent of
$1564.00, having reported total pre-
miums paid amounting to $3080.35.
The appropriation for aid to the
agricultural societies made by the last
legislature is the largest since the law
was enacted and its encouraging effect
is found in the large amount of pre-
miums paid to exhibitors this year
The cash outlay for this purpose, as
made by the societies in conformity
with the legislative act, amounted to
$192, 718.77.
According to Mr.. Chase state aid to
county fairs has been of material bene-
fit in an agricultural and community
way. 1t has stabilized quite a few
tottering agricultural organizations
and at the same time it has given to
the county fair movement degree of
permanency which augurs well for the
future of the societies. In this years
division of the aid nearly every coun-
ty in the state is interested. In all
ninety-six societies participate.

Schmidt Trial
Jury Disagfees
CASE WITH OTHER INDICTMENTS
CONTINUED TO MAY TERM
OF COURT.

The jury in the case against A. O.
Schmidt for perjury in connection
with the making Of a false applica-
tion for automobile license, which was
tried last week in district court, after
celebrating twenty hours, agreed to
disagree and were dismissed. It is
reported that the jury stood six to six
throughout the balloting. 1t is also
rumored that the main contention
against rendering verdict of guilty
was that they did not want to send
Schmidt to the penitentiary. The case
has been continued to the May term.
The Standard had made arrange
ments to supply digest of the pro-
ceedings of the trial, but owing to
the fact that the material did not
arrive here until just before going to
press, will publish it next week as the
case is important enough to make
it desirable that an unbiased report
of the trial be placed in the hands of
every citizen of the county
The fact that the jury disagreed
does not establish the innocence OF
guilt of the county auditor, but the
fact that. the jury could not agree,
proves that there was more than
political perjudice" in the charge
and under the circumstances Auditor
Schmidt should tender his resigna-
ton to the county board. A man oc-
cupying his position in the most i'm
portant office in the county should SO
conduct his affairs that there would
be no suspicion or ground for a
criminal action against him. Fairfax

Nonpartisans May
DiSband as Party
PLAN TO REVERT TO ORIGINAL
SCHEME OF THINGS WITH
TOWNLEY AS HEAD.

The National Nonpartisan league
may cease to be political organiza-
tion next year. This information was
given to The United Press on highest
authority. 1t was stated that in the
future the league may merely endorse
candidates for office. It will be re-
vision back to the original plans of A.
C. Townley the original organizer of
the league. It was alleged that it was
the tying up of members Of the league
in political jobs that caused the down.
fall of the league in North Dakota.
Townley at Head Again. :.
Mr.. Townley expects to take charge
of the organization as soon as he COM
pletes serving his ninety-day sentence
in the Jackson county Jail for violation
of the Minnesota espionage act. The
North Dakota state convention OF the
league has been deferred until after
Townley's release. Since the league
has swallowed up the republican party
in the state of North Dakota, it was
alleged that number of the leaguers
have turned traitors" 1t was also
alleged that the league suffered from
the fact that too many of the league
members were political office holders.
Fight In North Dakota.
1t was also pointed out that while
the league officials were recalled, that
the league plans of government were
retained in North Dakota. It is
thought that officers will fight the new
proposed plan, that threatens to bar
them from politics. It is thought
under the new plan the league can
still maintain balance of power =
It is understood that the league will
work along the lines of the anti-sa-
loon league without candidates.

'At this time the attention of drug
gists and other merchants who sell
perfume, cosmetics, proprietary medi-
cines, etc. is particularly called to the
fact that the stamp tax on these ar
ticles has been repealed, effective
January /, 1922. Any dealer who has
proprietary stamps on hand after
January 1, 1922, may make a claim
for refund for the face value Of these

ed in the office of the Collector of In
ternal Revenue and then forwarded to

Believing that one Dad Isham has
done a great wrong to the sacred and
prophetic Mule of Montevideo by said
Dads insinuations that the prophecies
of said Mule concerning an open wint-
er were utterly false, certain citizens
of Redwood Falls have taken it upon
themselves to right this great wrong.
Toby Baker, Monte's leadingest citi-
zen, will lead the Mule by green and
grassy ways, to Redwood Falls on
Christmas Day and then Dad, ESQ it
has been resoluted by those who would
see Justice done), shall make very
humble and very public apology to
said Mule. The blanket purchased for
this Mule through Dads activities, will
be disposed of to the highest bidder,
the funds to go toward erecting home
for mistaken Democratic lumber deal
ers.
