STATE PAYING ITS
COUNTY FAIR DUES.

Minnesota is this week reimburs-
ing 81 county and district agricuI-
tural societies for the money spent
by them in premiums during 1922.
The amount being paid is $780,
1O4.38, of which the st. Louie
County Agricultural Society re-
ceives $1530.00.
Warrants are being sent by the
State Auditor to the rreasurers of
the societies in IS of the Sc Min
nesota counties. Washington county
did not hold fair during the year
and therefore does not participate
in the distribution.
Several years ago the Legislature
decided that agricultural associations
which had done so much to develop
and encourage the best in agricuf-
ture, should be given state aid.
Comparatively small amounts were
set aside for the purpose but the
aid has been increased until the
1921 session appropriated $780,
10000 for the purpose, providing a
maximum payment of $1,000 to
any society.
The law provides that certain
specified organizations which have
an annual membership Of twenty
five or more, hold fairs on enclosed
grounds, to which a fixed charge of
admission is made, and which have

4. No restrictions as to resi-
dence, travel, occupation, military
and naval service.
5. Dividends are accumulated
through excess interest earnings
over three and one half (319 %
plus any mortality savings, and paid
to all those whose insurance has
been in force more than one year.
6. In case of illness, premiums
may be waived by insured until re-
covered, if proper application for
same is made.
z. No matter what a mans dis
ability may be, or its degree, pro-
vided it is due to his military SER
vice and he has not been declared
a permanent total, he will be ac-
cepted, on payment of all back pay
ments due from date of lapse, plus
five per cent interest, compounded
annually on each premium date.
8. After four years of premium
on twenty year endow
ment, the extended insurance value
would take care of all payments of
premiums for the remaining sixteen
years, BUT, by so doing, the insured
would draw only the face value of
his policy.

paid premiums to exhibitors, shall be
entitled to receive not to exceed
$4,000 from the state, but in
case the amount must be divided
pro-rata, to receive state aid based
on a premium payment of $1700.00.
The reports from each society or
association must be filed with the
State Auditor before December LIST,
and then he apportions the aid to
the various societies.
This year a total Of $19o,926. 90
was paid in premiums by the soci-
cites entitled to state aid. With
an appropriation of $4,000 and
a balance of $104.38, the state is
reimbursing the societies to the ex-
tent of go per cent of the pay
ments which the societies them
selves made. or the statutory ST.
10000 maximum.
Under the operation of the stat
ute the maximum amount received
by any society this year is $4,000.

Rotary Club Meets.

Wednesdays meeting of the Rot
airy Club was given over to discus
sion of several legislative matters
which viii come up at the next ses-
sion of the legislature after the
first of the year. One of the mat
ters was the attempt being made by
Duluth to divert fifty per cent of
the road and bridge funds to cities
of the first class. The act now
gives cities the power to apportion
fifty percent for work within the
limits but it is the intention to in
crease the percentage to 100 per
cent thus leaving the lateral roads
in the lurch. The matter was left
to the board of directors to look
into and take necessary action. The
ladies' of the III. E. church served
the dinner. Jim LANG made an ex-
cellent talk on the hardware bust
ness. Bert Thomas, Cal. DahIgren,
Oscar Solheim and others spoke.
L. z. Schaefer was a guest at the

ELY LOSES FIRST
GAME OF SEASON.
VIRGINIA BOYS COME OUT
FROM BEHIND AND TAKE
THE CAME HOME.

The first game of the season Of
the City Basketball boys was played
at the Auditorium Friday evening
and resulted in a defeat for the
Ely aggregation on a score of 81 to
16.
The Virginia boys arrived in the
city late. They left home in due
time by car, but something went
amiss and they were delayed. The
game was called for 8:15 but it
was after 9 o'clock before Referee
Jack Gianotti blew the whistle for
the start.
Ely started scoring at once and
before the Queen City boys had
gotten over the effects Of their
trip, had registered four baskets.
After that, things quieted down
and the game ran along more even
ly. The first half ended with Ely
in the lead, 10 to 6.
Virginia started the second half
with rush and kept it up to the
end of the game. Kishel and
Kleemola starred for Virginia while
Lindbeck carried the heavy end for
Ely. Lindbeck scored 10 of the Is
points made by Ely. Kapsch was
substituted for Pluth in the second
half. The game ended in the favor
of the visitors as above noted.
Those playing on the teams were

ONE little Towslie called Wink,
~ boiled a sweet dream in Snooze-
lum Town on the Moon. First he put
in some horsehairs, and a few oat
grains, then he put in shiny buckle
and bit of new strap. These he
moistened with water and stirred
thoroughly.
Next he wrote an invitation and
stirred it in, then he dropped in
bit of candle and a snip of birthday
cake.
After while it boiled so hard tnat
thick steam arose. This Wink
caught in a poppy-leaf bag and tied
it up tight.
Tee, hee, heep' he giggled, mold
ing it up proudly to his next-door
neighbor, called Blink. Here's a
fine dream for Tommy Brown. He's
going to dreaw tonight he's going to
get pony for his birthday"
Il never make dreams that are
too disappointing when they wake
up declared Blink. Tommy will
have bad time when he finds it
isn't true"

A NEW SOUTHERN POET.

WE are deeply indebted to the
Augusta Chronicle for calling to
our attention a new Southern poet.
She is Miss Alice Virden, of Cynthia,
Miss, student this year at Agnes
Scott college, Decatur. Miss Virden
has won a competition conducted by
the Christian Index for the "produc-
ion of the best sonnet" all college
students of Georgia being invited to
participate. DR.. NJ. L. Britain. state
superintendent of schools; Miss Tom
mic Dora Barker, librarian of the
Carnegie Library, Atlanta; and Will
liam Cole Jones, associate editor of
the Atlanta Journal, were the Judges
of the sonnets.
Miss Virden's sonnet on might
is quoted in the Index ''for the en-
enlargement which it will give to
those who are doubtful of the ability
OF the present generation to write
worthwhile verse" We reproduce it
here as one of the finest examines
of exquisite fancy we have discover
ed recently:
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-06-01

"Oh, no, no, hor laughed Wink.
But this is going to come true. Tom
my will tell his dream to his daddy
and you ust see if it doesn't work.
Pm going to mix up a dream for
his daddy, too, and one for the man
who sells ponies. The three of them
ought to do some good"
Now someone heard every word
Wink and Blink said 1t was Comet
Legs, the u glyfairy, who was jeal-
Gus of the Man-in-the-Moo
"Humphw he grunted. Every
time somebody has a nice dream
they give the credit to the Man-in-
the-Moon and his fairies. I'll have
10 see about this dream for Tom
Jones'"
SO he ran to the edge of the moon
and straddled the shooting-star he
used for a horse and scooted off to
lena Meena, the Magician, who
cooked up bad dreams.
'See here" he called. "1've a job
for you! Cook me up a dream about
growly bear at once"

OLD DAYS IN AMERICUS

the report is entirely without foun-
dation.
Any one here having his appetite
tuned to each peaches might as well
change it to blackberry or water
melon schedule as only these fruits
will be at all plentiful. Peaches con-
tinue to drop from the trees and it
is now believed that far less than a
half crop will be made about Ameri-
Gus. There will be few worth ship
ping and scarcely more than enough
to supply the home demand. But
blackberries-the country is safe on
that line.
The Sunday school of Furlow Lawn
Baptist church had its annual picnic

for this festive occasion, and the

ED TO RIAL.
LIBERTY BONDS AT PAR.

A T intervals for the last three or
more years the Times-Recorder
Ia sadvised its readers who owned
Liberty bonds to hold them; that, de-
spite the Fact that they were con-
sideraoly below face value, they
would be selling at par and higher
eventually. And now comes the news
that yesterday for the first time since
they were issued, all Liberty bonds
sold for par or better in the New
York market. Says the news dis
patch:
Heavy trading in Liberty bonds
at highest prices and transactions
embracing several lots of 81 900, 900
were the outstanding features of the
bond market. Continued ease of
money and investment buying by in
dividuals and corporations in antici
patton of June interest and dividend
and disbursements gave stimulants to
the days extensive purchase of these
war flotations.
Maximum and minimum quota
tons of these bonds so far this year
afford interesting comparisons. The
high of $100.06 for the 3 1-2s, com
pared with low 94.48; the first 4s
of 1932-47 10010; the second 4 las
of 1927-42 ranged from $3.50 to 100;
the third las of 1928 and 96.82 to
10000 and the coupon fourth las
in which dealings often have been
very large, rose from 95.72 to 10000.
AT the low quotations of last
year most of these bonds were yield
ing from 5 to almost 6 1-2 per cent.
On the present basis of values the
LIS not exactly 1-2 per cent and
the As and IA from 4 to 4 IA per
cent. In fine, predictions of treas
ury officials made early in the year
that all of Uncle Sans war flotations
soon would reach par or better, have
been fulfilled"
1t has been the history of similar
bond issues that they first command
less than par, then par, and finally
premium. The value of these bonds
will continue to rise steadily, al
though slowly, probably for several
years. There is no sounder invest
ment on the face of the earth than
government bond. That is why it
IS as good as gold coin anywhere
at any time. Continue to hang onto
yours.
