PR0WLER GETS
TERM IN PRISON
Arthur Schr0er Goes Up Fol
81 Years :

Arthur Shroer, 'the prowler," IS
now in the state penitentiary, to serve
a three and half year sentence for
breaking into Bismarck homes. The
home mentioned in the information to
which he pleaded guilty was the
GrOwlers' club.
SchrOer was brought before Judge
Nuessle Saturday night to receive his
sentence, after inquiries had been
made concerning his record in the St.
Cloud, Mimi, reformatory and Red
Wing, Mimi, school for boys. Schroer
had been in these two institutes since
he was a boy. He now is about II
Syears old.
The young man informed the judge
that he did not want an indetermin-
ate sentence, but wanted fixed term.
The term was fixed at three and a half
years.

extravagant waste of funds, the
treasury was now practically empty
and there are yet no roads to speak
of; that the policy adopted by the
court in the handling of these mat
tiers was not the proper one, and that
there should be demands made for
a change in the policy to one that
will insure better return for the
money spent.
As to these things, We will not
offer any suggestions at this time.
1t was along this line that much of
the talk was had at lone on Satur-
day, and doubtless there was a good
deal said at the meeting that could
not be fully substantiated by the facts
and figures, for people are apt to
shoot a little wild of the mark on
such occasions. But we wish to say
that such meetings should be held;
that a fuller discussion of tax mat
tiers should be made by the taxpay-
ers themselves; that such discussion
should bring out the facts as they ac-
tually exist, and the criticisms offer
ed should be of a constructive nature
and not lead to abuse of officials or
localities or resolve themselves down
to mere personalities. Anybody can
find fault; that's easy; but it is an
other thing to offer the remedy for
our difficulties.
We should say that it is now the
proper time-in fact that time has
been with US for the past two years
to get down TO brass tacks on every
proposition that is put up to us for
the levying of additional taxes. We
have been steadily voting a tax bur-
den upon ourselves, and while times
have been flush and money was easy,
the taxes have been paid without
much fuss. Now the situation is diff
@ferent and we are brought to the full
realization that it takes a lot of hard
dollars to meet our tax obligations
and the money is not to be had. Some
good, hard thinking and planning is
necessary, and in trying to get at a
solution Of the case and bring about

The Thing to Do Is to Adver-
tise on A Declining Market

We have been suspicious for a
long time that the National Chamber
of Commerce was an institution that
to say the least is unprogreSSlve.
Here and there We caught them IS
suing statements and theories that
belonged to the latter part of the
10th century, indicating that this Ma
tional Chamber is ruled to a consid-
cradle extent BY the men who were
leaders in business and industry back
in the eighties and ninetieS.
1t is not long since this same
chamber began a campaign for the
So-called open shop" and, whether
the open shop is a good thing or not,
botched the campaign 50 badly that
the third decade of the twentieth
century is ashamed of it,
Now We find the said chamber
starting a survey TO the end that
operating costs shall be cut down
during the present depression by
manufacturers, jobbers and retail
merchants" Good thing. Very, But
the very first question asked is;
What have YOU done to reduce
your publicity costs to a normal bas-
is?' That is. We presume, to the
basis Of the 10th century.
Evidently these people have been
sound asleep for years. Evidently
no inkling has reached them of what
the extraordinary use of advertising
publicitu has done during the past
FIVE years. Probably the biggest re-
tail advertiser in eastern America
is Edward A. Flame, of Boston, and
he says that he will INCREASE HIS
ADVERTISING ON A DECLINING
MARKET in order to keep up his
profits. All over the country, in big
towns and little, important merch-
ants are saving the same thing, and
acting on it, because they know what
advertising does.
The National Chamber Of Com
merce should retire their old fogies.

Think of 1t, America Ninth in
Education

The announcement has just been
made of the rank of the different
countries as to education. The Uni
ted States stands NINTH. This coun-
Try, which we all claim to be so
great, so rich, so much better than
all others, is ninth among nations
when it comes to the education of its
people.
The news is astounding, stupefy-
ing!
And yet three years ago when we
entered the war twenty-five per cent
of the men who went out from a sin
gle state to fight the nations battles
had to be taught to sign their names.
And, mind you, they were not for
eigners-every one Of these Hitter
ate soldiers was an American born
citizen. Many more who could with
difficulty write their name and read
a bit were so poorly educated that
they could not study the common
manual of drill.
Yes, education is free in our rich
cities and in the well-to-do country
regions. But the time has come tor
US to carry education-common
school education-into the noun
tains and deserts and other lonely
stretches Of our land.
Ignorance is the greatest menace
of any nation. We rail at Bolshev-
ism in America and denounce its fol-
lowers among US, but forget that ii
is nothing but ignorance, lack of ed.
u~cation. And that is our fault, moi
theirs.

In another column we give a re-
port Of the meeting Of taxpayers held
in lone on Saturday afternoon, to
which we cali attention. 1t is not
in the spirit of controversy that we
would comment on this meeting, for
we feel that it vas a proper thing
for the taxpayers to get together
and discuss the situation as it now
stands. There is indeed a very heavy
burden Of taxes to be paid, and the
serious question is, where are we to
get the funds to pay with. There
is scarcely a citizen Of the county
whose names appear on the tax rolls
this year but is confronted with the
fact that he is short Of the necessary
funds, and many will be compelled
to face the penalty for nonpayment
until crops are sold in the fall. 1t
is perfectly natural, then, that some
very earnest discussion is going on,
that meetings are being called to N
some way devise means to meet the
difficulty in which taxpayers lind
themselves, and that the fellows who
pay the fiddler are just a little
more anxious than eXer before to
have an accounting as to how and
where the funds of the county are
being spent.
There has been much talk going on
during the past year or more con-
corning the spending Of road funds,
many being Of the opinion that the
county was receiving much less value
for the money spent than she was en-
titled to; that there was being an

A recall election has just been
held in Polk county at an expense of
$500, and the present incumbent of
the county judges Office remains on
the job. 1t is estimated that a re-
call of the public service commission
at a special election would cost the
state at least $4,000. This all
adds to tax burdens and the queS-
ton is: Is the experiment worth
the price?

average Of the dams of these young

Of milk and 60 pounds of fat Is no
slight matter, the dairy specialists say.
The ages at which the daughters Of

are not themselves affected In their
nature or their milk-prOducing ability.
The influence of the bull Is shown
only on his offspring.
1T takes about four years before the
hrst heifers from a new bull finish
their first years test; and as they are
then only heifers, their mature moth
ers may still Guido them in produc-
ton. The thing to be considered is,
What character of young cows are to
replace the old ones when the latter
are gone?
"This is the principle involved in
bringing in meritorious bulls-to make
the future cows better than the pres
ent. A dairymafl should not expect
to see the good results from a pure
bred bull in the first year, but wait
three to five years and then see how
much better his herd is. The dairy
man should look to the future and
plan now by using a good purebred
bull to have a better herd in from
three to five years. The question is,
When these years have passed will he
be where he was three to five years
earlier or will he be better off? The
wise dairyman, who takes the right
course now. will at that future time
find himself reaping the benefit"

SALT is REQUIRED BY cows

Salt Is required by all animals The
dairy COW requires an ounce or more
day, say specialists of the United

and while she should be given all she
needs, she should not be forced to
take more than she wants. 1t is best,
therefore, to give only small guam

can lick 1t at will.

A very common form Of RReu-
