tee looks on the cooperative grain
marketing plan as the biggest project
presented to agriculture in fifty years,
and it was agreed that everything pos
sible will be done to make it a success.
To acquaint all farmers with the plan
one farm bureau representative from
each county will be called to st. Paul,
Other organizations will be well rep
resented. Every effort will be made to
bring as many farmers as possible to
hear the plan outlined by Mr. Ander-

.OCILVlE OR U MPLES
In Last Game of Season Legionaires
Put Ogilvie Out Of Commits
sion-Score 80 to 10.
Fans Expected Close Game but We're
Disappointed When Legionaires
Ran Away From Ogilvie.

The legion basketball quint played
off a tie with Ogilvie at the armory
last Thursday night and won by a
score of 80 to 10. Each team had
previously won game on its own
floor, Ogilvie winning by 81 to II and
Princeton by II to 10. Hence the
fans looked forward to an exceedingly
close contest, but they were much dis
appointed as the legionaires ran away
from Ogilvie from the start and were
never hard pressed throughout the
game.
Smith started the scoring for the
locals and was followed by Schmidt,
Milbrath and Berg. They scored seven
baskets the first half while Ogilvic
connected with three. The visitors
had been drilled to watch Smith and
Schmidt, and they rode these two all
the time, giving them few chances to
shoot. This allowed Milbrath to get
into position, but he experienced bad
luck and only secured one where he
should have made half dozen. One
person the visitors overlooked entirely
was Berg, who connected three times
for long, difficult shots. This upset
Ogi1vie's dope and they did not know
who to guard. The second half was
almost repetition of the first, but the
locals slowed up after the had safe
lead and let the visitors work and get
a few baskets. The game ended
Princeton 80, Ogilvie IS.
| This was the last game Of the sea-
son for the lcgionaires and they take
this means of thanking the people and
fans for their support and patronage.

Two Good Men.

F. L. French was reelected secre-
tary of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
association at. the closing session of
the executive board meeting at the old
capitol, ST.. Paul, last Friday. Mr.
French has been with the federation
since it became a permanent organiza-
ton. He was formerly agricultural
agent in Redwood county and has
been connected with farm bureau ac-
tivities for several years.
At the same meeting J. S. Jones
was permanently retained as general
director of new organization de-
partment. -.
Mr.. Jones for six months has been
serving the federation in an emer-
gency capacity, having obtained
leave Of absence from the Minnesota
agricultural college la: fail TO take
charge of the state membership drive.
Since then large number Of orga-
nizers have been under his direction,
As counties having been placed on a
permanent basis and the state men,
bership increased from less than TO-
600 to more than 10000. His accep-
lance will vacate his former position
as assistant state leader of county
agents in charge of the southwest
section Of the state. BY farmers he
is rated as among the best informed
farm bureau men,.
Mr.. Jones, thus far, has not formu-
lated program for the year, but his
aim will be to bring the state to a
100 per cent basis of membership and
to continue organizing township units,
which is of special Importance to the
federation.

LOUIS sTUMM INJURED.
Sustains Fracture of Collarbone a
Result of Auto Striking Rear
End of Wagon. -

End of Wagon.
On Sunday morning about 10:3O
an auto driven by L. E.. Bergman ran
into the rear end of a wagon occupied
by Louis Stumm, who, as result,
sustained a fractured collarbonc. The
accident occurred in the following
manner:
Mr.. Bergman, with his wife and
Andrew Nygren, were proceeding
their way to church in. Wyanett. Mr..
Stumm, going in the same direction
ahead of the car, was seated on a
wagon driving a span of horses when
the machine struck the rear end, the
horses started to run and threw
Stumm out. He fell in such a position
that one of the hind wheels of the
wagon ran over him and it was later
found that his collarbone had been
fractured. Mr.. Bergman endcavered
to stop his car but was unable to do
so until it had run over Mr.. Stumm,
but the wheels of the machine did not
come in contact with him. An
other car was passing from the OPP
posite direction md a man crossing
the street, which somewhat diverted
Mr.. Bergman's attention while trying
to stop his machine. s..s..
Mr.. Bergman Immediately conveyed
Mr.. Stumm to the Northwestern hos
pital, where it was found that aside
from having sustained a fracture of
the collarbone he was virtually unin.
jured. .E 49,
After the accident the horses ran q
short distance, collided with a tele.
phone pole and were captured. They
sustained no injury but the Wagon
was somewhat disorganized.
The patient is getting along nicely
toward recovery but Mr.. Bergman
very much regrets the occurrence anc
expresses sorrow that it should have
happened. This is the first time i1
the many years he has driven a ma.
chine that he has been in a collision
of any sort or injured any one.

MILE Laos COUNTY TAXES.
High Taxes Largely Due to High
Local Rates-Farmer Pays
5000 0Q IN 40 Acres.

$322.O8 on 40 Acres.
The taxes in Mile Laos county are
high, all of us are perfectly familiar
with that fact. What makes the taxes
so high? In a recent issue of the
Mile Laos County Times it was stated
that the property owners in Minneso-
ia are paying the highest taxes ever
known in the history Of the state and
this is the situation existing after
State Auditor Preus stated last fall
that the state tax rate would be
lowered. The Times cites the case OF
Andrew Thilquist, president of the
Farmers cooperative creamery at
,Milaca, who has to pay 1914 taxes on
his 8O-acre farm. The Times could
have selected a more startling case
nearer home. A farm of 40 acres just
three miles north of Milaca was taxed
$322.O8. Let us look into this case
and sec why this farmers taxes are
so frightfully heavy.
The actual vaaue&of this farm. was
estimated to be $4,000 and the as
sessed valuation was placed at 81 900.
The county board raised this to $4,000
and the state tax commission to ST.
400. The tax rate that this man had
to pay on his property was 1912 mills,
making the total taxes $322.08. A
tax rate of 1912 mills is exceedingly
high, but it must be remembered that
this represents the state, county,
township and school taxes. The state
rate is SAP; county 1918; township,
22.2; and school, 1874. Thus 128.79
mills are levied for loccl taxes only
Taxes arc high in Mile Laos county
higher than in nearly any other coun.
ty in the state, but they are especial
ly high in school district No. 13
Undoubtedly this situation could b<
greatly relieved if the state board Of
education would make some attemp
to cooperate with the local schoo
board. Be that as it may, tn
fact remains that $2OO.16 of tn
$322.08, about two thirds of this man
total taxes, went to the support of tn
schools in district No. Is.
There has been some complaint con
= corning the cost Of our highways
. This farmer was taxed $67.13 TO
roads but over half this amount, $34
:. 80, was township tax.
. Only $13 of the $332.8 were stat
taxes. Taxes are high in Mile Lac
- county, but it is the local and nc
the state taxes which may well strik
. terror to the heart of any man.
q In the face of these facts we ia
to understand how any man could cor
q scientiously advocate the enactment {
legislation that would place on th
n county an added burden Of over $207
4 900 without even giving the Taxpayer
10 in the county the opportunity to vol
v on the matter.
Below is list of state tax rates fl
n the last ten years. It will be note
;e that the 1920 rate is 2.58 mills low
l. than the rate for 1919 and almost I
r low as it was in 1913 and 1917:

VOcSteS establishing potato exchange
here in Princeton and the organization
of county cow-testing association.
His suggestions certainly appealed to
the members in Greenbush and Prince
ton, the Greenbush unit was particu-
larly enthusiastic over both projects.
The cow-testing association will
surely be established because only 400
cows are needed to furnish material
for a good association, and Mr.. Ham
mergrcn signed up 81 cows Tuesday
afternoon in, the Greenbush unit. OF
course the majority Of farmers in
Princeton are not particularly inter-
ested in dairying but those who were
pres ,nt at the meeting Wednesday
listed about 10 cows, making 10 cows
for the southern end of the county. It
costs about So year for each cow and
she is tested once month. The OBJ
ject Of this test is to determine the
amount of butterfat the farmer is
getting from the cow, and then he will
know whether he is keeping the cow or
the cow is keeping him. The cow
tester will, be able to advise the far
mer as to the, kind and amount of food
to be given to obtain the best re-
suits. It is to be hoped that the asso-
citation will be able to secure first
class man for this work because 400
cows will keep him busy on the job
all the time.
Mr.. Hammergren urged the farmers
to plan to improve their stock, not to
go in for raising only purcbreds but
to improve the grades and the scrubs
The best way to do this is to get q
full-blooded sire.
Both the Greenbush and Princeton
units favored having a big mass meet
ing this spring, probably about the
middle of April, to discuss the advisa'
bility of establishing potato shipping
association here in Princeton which
would be a branch of the Minnesota
Potato Exchange. Arrangements vii
be made to have officers of the potato
exchange address the meeting and ex
plain how. the organization works. Il
the exchange operates here it will Of
course be necessary to secure one OF
two warehouses. The farmer receive:
/ 80 per cent of the market price whel
he ships his potatoes through tn
local agency and the other 20 per cen
is paid when the potatoes are sold, 81
he risks only 20 per cent on the ris'
; and fall of the market.
The Greenbush unit will meet regu
larly in the evening of the ~secon'
Tuesday of every month. The Prince
ton unit will meet day later, in tn
evening also, that is the second Wed
nesday of every month.
The Mile Laos County Farm Burea1
e association is starting under fayora

promise of being a most effective orga
: nization.

JAIL DELIVERY
NIPPED IN BUD
Arthur Davis, Held for the Robbery
of the Homestead State Bank, Was
Saving Himself Out of Jail When
Discovered by Deputy Sheriff
R0hke.

What might have been the escape
of a very much wanted prisoner was
foiled BY the watchfulness of the new
ly appointed deputy sheriff, Robert
Robke Of Raymond Wednesday even
ing, when that officer discovered that
Arthur Davis, being held for the rob
berry of the Homestead State Bank,
was engaged in cutting the bars to
his cell, finding a couple Of bars near
~ cut off. The prisoner was placed in
another cell and a. search made, re-
suing in the finding of about a doz-
en- pieces Of brocken hack saws, and
one piece wired onto silver from
a dry goods box about foot long,
which was the tool by which he had
cut the. bars of his cell.
Deputy Sheriff Robke, who is the
night watch in the bastile, in going
his rounds at about ten thirty, We'd
nesday night, noticed what appeared
to HIM to be small mark. on one of
the cell bars and on closer investiga-
ton it-was found that the bar was
:1eary cut through. j Sheriff Collins
was called and they moved Mr.. Davis
the prisoner, to another cell and a
thorough search of the cell was made
s BY. what means the prisoner secur-
ed the pieces of hack saw is a GUAM
dry, II being evident that some one
smug91ed the saws into the jail and
gave them to the prisoner. Sheriff
Collins has abolished all visitors to thu
inside Of the Jail as a, result of Dav-
is activities.
