KITTSON co. ELIMINATES @,,n%
ROAD BUILDING GRAFT

That there is unQuestionable graft
in road building these days, such as
is often let out On bids by counties.
village and townships, was brought
to light this week at the meeting of
the board of county commissioners.
Some time ago the county board
called for bids for the building of
four miles of road in the township of
Teien. The specifications called for
the regular standard road. Among the
several bids received to do the job,
100000 was the lowest. The Coun-
ty Commissioners, who in their official
capacity, always strain every effort
for the best interest of tax payers in
the expenditure of public funds,
thought this bid, although the lowest,
most exhorbitant, and decided, with
the assistance of their highway en-
gineer to boss the job, Ito do the work
themselves, with the result that the
four miles of road was completed
strictly according to ! specifications,
with the additional expense of laying
concrete; thing three quarters of the
way, for exactly $4,000, thus saving
the county and the tax payers, $1O,~
100000 in cold cash. This, as in, many
other things, goes to show that it
isn't so often the high~-cost Of mater
ial that adds to the cost of doing
things, so much as the big, graft that's
in it-better known now days, as re-
spectacle profiteering. - Kittson Go.

LEADING TO THIEFsS HOME

Bonnie Guyon was before Judge
Grindeland Tuesday and received a
sentence not to exceed ten years in
the state reformatory at st. Cloud, on
a burglary charge to which he plead
guilty. Narum's store at Waubun was
entered last Friday night and several
sacks of flour and some coffee taken
The sheriff's office was communicated
with and Deputy Turpin made trip
to Waubun. With the officers there
they discovered that one of the flour
sacks leaked and left trail behind.
Following this trail it led the officers
to the Tom Hobbs home in the woods
east Of: Waubun. There they found
the flour and coffee safely stored
away in the attic of the house. Guyon
was arrested and brought to town.
The evidence of his guilt was so plain
that he decided to plead guilty and
take his medicine. John J.. Spaeth took
him to st. Cloud yesterday morning

Every person formerly identified
with the Military Ornaval service dur
ing the late war who has allowed his
Government Insurance to lapse for
more than eighteen months may rein

iums on the amount Of insurance he
wishes to reinstate, providing he can

ton. n .rr.31. s &5s *es g$ ytas
Those who are unable to pass the
examination on account of disabili-
ty received in or aggravated by mill
tary or naval service may reinstate
their insurnce by paying all premiums
due from the date of lapse to- the
present time, together with interest at
five per cent per annum, compounded
annually upon each permium from the
date the said premium was due. This
is a matter of utmost Importance and
should be taken care of before the
time set by the Treasury Department

endowment, endowment at, the age OF
50. --- >-... J.
Conversion into any one of these
forms may be made at any time prior
to March 4, 1926; but inasmuch as it
is to the advantage of the insured to
convert the insurance into one Of the
forms mentioned above, it should be
done as soon as possible if the per.
sons circumstances will permit. r

LET US BE THANKFUL

Again the season of the year has
nailed around when we are called up
on to pause in our restless activities
md devote little time to the finer
md nObler attributes of our nature.
IA Thursday we celebrate Thanksgiv-
ing when according to custom and in
Sbedience to the proclamation of our
President, we are to give thanks to
God for the blessings of the year.
Many there may be, who in their
with its light crops, business depres-
ai8n and unemployment, offers little
for which to be thankful. We are
~ prone to complain and find fault
when everything does not pan out &C.
eording to our wishes and calcula tons.
Yet If we would compare the condi-
items in America today with those ex-
listing in the countries across the sea,
10 would soon discover that we have
a great deal for which we ought to
be thankful. Besides there are many
other blessings, besides those of a ma
terial nature, that we enjoy and
should feel grateful for. Let those
who enjoy good health be thankful for
that blessing. And when we count
our blessings one by one, we will find
that they make long list
This year there is bound to be
needed a great deal of charity work
in many communities. People gener-
ally are not as prosperous as they
were a year or two ago. Many will
lack the necessities of life. Sickness
and other misfortunes have Overtaken
many families this year, as well as
every year. All who are so situated
that they can give assistance to their
less fortunate fellowmen, should es-
TEEN it a privilege to do so. The
Red Cross and the Salvation Army
as we'll as the church organizations
are doing a great work in relieving
suffering. When we are giving to sus-
tain the work of these organizations
we are giving to help the poor. This
year these organizations will be called
upon for aid more. than, ever. Sup
port them, and by doing so you will
render a thanks Il Offering acceptable

HOW TO BE A MAIL CARRIER

10 be mail carrier you need three
things: First, you need mail;;t second,
you need the ability to carry lots Of
it-tons of it, and third. you need a
living wage. You might just as we'll
get used to needing it. Uncle Sam
believes the only way to keep mail
man good: is to keep him poor, so he
pays him with what's ! left after this
curious operation is performed - On
the, first Of the. month all the money
appropriated for Government salaries
for that month is changed into TWEEN
ty-dollar. gold pieces and carried into
an enormous room. Here crew Of
workmen are gathered, awaiting this
money. They seize the money and
toss it into the air. Everything that
falls to the floor goes back to be re-
appropriated by Congress; everything
that sticks to the walls is used for
education, good roads,, and such, while
all the money that stays on the CELL
ing is used for paying the postofice
employees. ~: "
4 But If you don't care much for
money and if you have the constitu-
ton Of a large, healthy horse, you will
love mail-carrying. Uncle Sam is very
generous about one thing-he cannot
give you strength and he won't give
you money, but he'll supply you with
plenty Of mail-ooh, much mail.
q You can never be a mail carrier
unless you carefully prepare for the
profession. First, you must train
your feet and back. Walk from New
York to San Francisco and return
four times a year for five years as
starter. The last six times carry q
bag on your back in which you have
jammed two or three typewriters, q
2safe,s,a vacuum cleaner, two kitchen
stoves, an ice-box and forty eight
bricks. This will Undue you with the
spirit that goes with delivering parcel
post packages. Il 53 N ... .itG

ing. If you wish to subscribe to my
special correspondence course, I will
consider your application. Meanwhile
you should realize that mail carrying
is rich IN other potentialities. You
meet the best people you come tt
know them intimately; you have &C
cess to the best homes; you are fret
from all temptations to become ex
travagant and waste your substance
in riotous living, and, finally, It IS
most healthful calling, for It takes
you out into the open air and aftel
years Of long. faithful, conscientious
service, It leaves You there. Dangba g

LET CHICKENS HAVE LIBERTY
 AND KEEP QUARTERS CLEAN

During the month of April ev- erything in poultry raising should be humming,' says H. B. Lansden, poultry specialist of the Agricul- tural Extension Division, University of Arkansas. "Just now poultry raisers are dealing in futures and your future depends on your good work now. Don't fuss or worry. Just let the chicks have plenty of liberty and keep their quarters clean. Standard bred chicks can rough 1t as well as mongrels-even better.
 To those who are raising stand ard bred chicks, we advise, Do not handicap them by unnatural re- strictions Let them hustle around This tends to better poultry and to bigger profits.' Keep in touch with your county or home demon stratlon agents for details if you get Tn trouble. If you cannot reach them, write this office"
 April is the worst month in the year for mites and chick headlice. We caution you to watch closely for these blood suckers. They are kill ing thousands of chicks that could be saved if proper precautions are used. First, these parasites do not thrive under clean, healthy, sanitary conditions. They usually develop under conditions such as overcrowd- ing, lack of fresh air and sunlight. and where roosting GOODS are not cleaned and disinfected at least once week. It is advisable to take no chances, but apply a little sweet oil or vaseline to the heads and just under the beaks of the baby chicks once week until they begin to feather. This will usually keep them under control. The roasting perches and dropping boards should be sprayed with some commercial spray, or better still, if it can be obtained, some kid of heavy oil. Oil such as used for automobile engines is splendid for this purpose. By applying it on the roosts, two or three applications during the spring months will positively con trol mite infestation, the heavy oil having lasting and penetrating effect, while the commercial sprays are usually only effective as a disinfectant, evaporating within two or three days.

takes, it is certain the question will be taken into the courts. Attorney General Utley will advise him not to certify the local legislation amendment which Gov. McRae seeks to submit, on the ground that the governor acted without authority ment adopted by the legislature. On the other hand, Gov. McRae and his advisers will insist upon the acceptance of the local legislation amendment.
 Should the secretary of state re- fuse to certify out the local legis- lation proposal, the friends of the measure will undoubtedly seek to mandamus him and compel him to accept the amendment. Should he, on the other hand, accept this amendment, the friends of the per sonal tax amendment would un- to compel him to accept their prop osition. So it appears that what ever he does, he will be made party to an interesting controversy in the courts.
 The test will be strictly of a friendly nature. and will be free from rancor and personality. It happens to be one of the questions which have not been specifically settled by the Arkansas Court. Gen. Utley claims to have the weight of authority on his side to the effect that a constitutional amendment | Il. 4-s is not subject to executive veto. This has been stated as a principle by some of the highest courts of the country, although Governor Me Rae is confident that he can estab- fish his authority.
 Incidentally, some of our mos careful observers of things political express doubt of either amendment being ratified by the people. It is 1 certain that there would have to be very considerable campaign of education conducted to induce the people to voluntarily vote upon ; themselves an additional tax or to surrender their rights to secure re- lief through local legislation.
 The most far-seeing statesmen of l @AAN0iaNeAc aSiCC lildL the NeXaLlOuS problems of taxation are not to
 be solved by a piecemeal, desultory and spasmodic tinkering with the constitution. The time must come
 before the state can make the prog ress all good citizens wish to see. that a new constitution must be adopted in accordance with modern ideas and requirements. Many have pronounced the document drafted in
