surprise. Mrs. Till stated only last
week that she had no assurances
whatever that he would be out before
the expiration of his term JAM IL.
John Till says that his health is of
the best, that with around $50 new
patients calling on him daily he never
even had time to so much as look out
of the window while here. he is de-
lighted to be home and after his long
absence and confinement fees inclined
to look over his grounds and enjoy
the realization that he has a fine
property before again taking up his
work for ailing humanity.
He states that he will thoroughly
rearrange his buildings and perfect
complete business and professional
organization personnel before again
becoming active and that all future
professional activity will fully con-
form to the law. He does not regard
his long stay in the Barron county
Jail as time wasted, but feels that it
gave him the chance to enjoy much
needed rest.
Editor Welsh in the Saltwater Mes
senger says:
The Messenger holds no brief for
joni Till. Knowing him in business
way for the past fifteen years the ed
itor of this newspaper always found
him to be a man square in every way,
whose word could be relied uron. He
benefited the health of thousands of
people while he was operating. He
lost some cases it is true; his methods
were not as sanitary as they might
have been, but the fact remains that
John Till helped many people to get
well. Whether there was anything
supernatural in this or not we do not
presume to say; whether people simp-
ly imagined Till cured them. 1t is a
fact that great many people claimed
Till cured them because they have told
the writer so.
Editor Van Meter in the New Rich
mond News and Republican Voice
saws:
Blaine justifies his action by the re-
port of three doctors that TilPs health
would be completely broken if he was
confined in Jail for the remainder Of
his term. And then, besides, there is
the Till vote, and that's scanethingg to
be reckoned with. possibly.
Coincedent with the pardon comes
renewal of the rerort that Till has
promised to leave the country, which
| is something to be grateful for.-Hud-

Of her product, and the price IS
nearly always good, for it is in
constant demand. There is not
much danger Of OVERRIDING the
business, since it requires steady
work and careful, painstaking
practice, and the market is not
flooded with such workers.
These figures Of the Govern
ment should be carefully consid-
cred. While, Of course, we can
not expect all our states to inten-
sify their dairy business, we
should know the facts as they
are presented, and ew cannot fail
to see that there is room for
much more dairying than we
have.
Bankers can well afford to loan
men money to buy good dairy
cattle, and to build and equip
dairy barns, for the dairy COW
istarts to produce a cash commo-
|dity from the day she arrives.
|She is the most economical ami
|mal on the farm. An man who
is industrious enoukh to take
care Of a good bunch Of dairy
COWS is the best kind Of credit.

LACK OF EFFICIENCY IN
COUNTY GOVERNMENT

The reprint Of an article which
appeared in the Uplitt of recent
date appeared in Sunday S News
and Observer, and it carries such
grave charges that we cannot fail
to comment on it.
This article states that most
counties in this state are using
century old methods in the con
duct Of their business (Which is
true) and they doubt il any
county would grade more than
fifty per cent efficient according
to business standards. He state,
that the trouble is not dishones-
tv, but that the real cause is
pure inefficiency and politics.
The first is due to the fact that
the people accept any man whom
the leaders put up for office re
gardless Of any training which he
might have for the particular Of
flee to which he aspires, ana the
second to the fact that when this
officer assumes his duties he is
more concerned with his own pop
ularlty, and the chance Of being
returned to office, than he is
with serving the people and eff
GENTLY managing his office re-
gardless Of whom he may make
an enemy of in the conduct Of his
office. There is always an ef-
fort made to satisfy the favored
few who demand special favor.
with utter disregard Of the ninety
and mine who only want a square
deal.
We have only recently, in our
own county, had an instance Of
this. Apparently a political debt
had to be paid when the appoint
ment came up for particular Of
flee owing to the death Of the in
cumbent. No one was consulted
as to choice, and while there is
no criticism Of the appointee per
sonally, he happened to be tbs
son Of cne Of the commissioners
and this commissioner happened
to be the county auditor; there
fore the father, as county audi
tor, is auditing the books of hi.
son, who is county treasurer. A
we say, there is no persona
criticism Of either Of this gentle
men, yet it serves to show how
the business is conducted. ant
that the public is given no con
slderatlon, and that no though
is given to the efficient manao
ment Of the affairs of the people
AS we see it, there is only on
remedy for such a state of af
fairs and that is for the public
every individual voter, to deman
that they be kept advised
through published statements. a
to the income received its SON,
ces, and a full statement as t
how, and for what purposes it

WHAT AND WHOM TO
FINANCE
A. L. Hacker

position at this time OF scarcity
Of cash; but if you go in and in
vestigate you will find that Mr..
Banker is very much worried
man. In many cases he occupies
the position OF the goat but we
must admit that he is a very i'm
portant man in his community.
The banker is sort of financial
judge. lie must know not only
everything about business, but
also about the people Of the
community; and at this time Of
depression he has to be more than
ordinarily critical and exacting.
The subject [ wish to discuss,
however, is what enterprises and
which men Of his community the
banker can safely finance.
Farm finances are about the
most important of all relating to
|our general welfare, and the
banker has serious problem to
consider. Good farm land is
considered the best Of security.
but such land must produce with
profit and must be soil that
will grow crops without too
much expense for fertilizer. We
may consider the farmer a bank
er in so far as he takes from and
adds to the value Of his soil. If
he replaces, in time his soil bank
will be insolvent.
The fact that our country I'M
:ported last year ever thirty-five
;mllllon pounds Of butter indicates
that we are not producing as
much dairy produce as we con
sumo. We should be heavy ex-
lporters Of dairy products rather
, than importers, because here we
can produce with economy and
at the same time build up our
soil fertility.
A community is known by its
COWS. The United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture recently
published some interesting fig
:rues which illustrate the value OF
dairy COWS to a community s
wealth.
In this study they compared in
several-states those sections which
were given to intensive crop
production and those sections
that were intensely dairying. The
per capita bank deposits were
the base. For example; In
Washington, at the town of
Camas, a grain raising section
the per capita deposit was sod.
46, while at Mount Vernon, Wash
ington, an intensely dairy sec
ton, the per capita deposit was
$9O7 .33. At the town of Malad
Idaho, a grain growing section
the per capita deposit was 1866.
81, while at Nampa, dairy sec
ton, it was $906.32. In Moor
head, Minnesota, a seed growing
section, the average per capita
was $551.96, while at DasseI
Minnesota. an intensely dairy
section, the per capita deposit j:
