WHAT IS COURTESY.

of the finest tributes to courtesy, we'll one
of best definitions of it, have read, is the
following, from Drew's Imprint:
Treating a customer like rich uncle so that you
may extract his coin, is not courtesythas foresight
Offering seat to who enteres office is
not courtesy-thats duty.
Listening to the grumblings, growlings and groan-
ing of bore without remonstrance is not courtesy
that's forebearance.
Helping pretty girl the street, holding her
umbrella carrying her poodlenone of these is court
esq. The first two pleasure and the last is polite
Courtesy is doing that which nothing under the
makes you but human kindness Courtesy springs
from the heart If the mind prompts the action there is
reason; if there be reason it is not courtesy for
courtesy has Courtesy is good will and good
will is prompted by the heart full of love be kind

education should sod to the children. If they

1t is pathetic sight to the children of the poor

else to overcome their handcaps and difficulties Plen

and manage to earn enough they burden on
their hard pressed families.
The Indifferent poor boy is problem. He trains

STATE RETURNS TAX
MONEY $500 FOR $1.OO
Stevens County Receives More than
It Pays in State
Taxes.

Minnesota returned to it's eighty
six counties over $500 for every dol
lar paid by them as state taxes dur
ing the calendar year, 1921.
Figures just compiled by Ray P.
Chase, State Auditor, show that for
the year total state taxes for all pur-
poses paid by the counties into the
state treasury amount to $11,481,-
146.28.
During the same twelve months
the state returned to the counties in
direct payments the sum of $685.
489.55. At the same time the state
supplemented these direct treasury
returns with other payments in the
shape of various forms of state aid,
totaling $23, These sup
Elemental payments included such
ton, 1928, 214.73; trunk highways,
roads and bridges, $5,677, 243.83;
drainage, forest fire relief, etc., $433,-
694.71; armories, park and monu-
ments, $411,359; educational, charit-
able and penal institutions, $9,346,-
06O.76. In all the state returned to
the counties directly or indirectly
$34,572,718.31.
Stevens County paid to the state as
a direct state tax $61,299.41. 1t re-
ceived from the state treasury dur
ing 1921, $72,498.65 as a direct pay
ment.
The taxes paid by the county di-
rect to the state include the one mill
road and bridge tax, the one mill
school tax and the soldiers bonus
tax, no part of which is in any way
used for the expense of state govern
ment. The amount referred to above
as paid directly back to the county
does not include any of the supple
mental treasury receipts before noted.
Of the eighty-six counties of the
state, forty-four received more from
the state treasury than they paid in.
They paid state taxes amounting to
$2,5O3,536.7O and received directly
$3,89O,832.33. The other forty-two
counties paid in more than they re-
ceived as direct return.
To the average tax payer taxes
are just taxes, an infection to be
patiently borne and subsequently
paid and later some central authority
indicted as responsible. He does not
always realize that the state tax is
apart from those levied for local pur-
poses.
The tax rate purposes in Minneso-
ia for the present calendar year is
the lowest in years and with the
statutory infections removed is with
out a parallel in the states history.
1t is but a small fraction of the total
tax paid by the tax payers Of the
state.

Tile Makes Dry Floor For Pigs.


The agricultural engineering divi-
sion at University Farm has been re-
ceiving inquiries concerning the con-
struction of hog houses, especially as
to the material to use for floors.
"The hog house floor is very inn
portant if the building is to be perm
manent and satisfactory" says Prof.
H. B. White, of the division. Hogs
desire a clean, warm dry and well
bedded nest and this requires care in
the choice and placing of the mater
ials for the floor.
Concrete makes a sanitary floor,
but it is often cold and damp and
not desirable for small pigs. A re-
movable floor of wood for the nest to
be used at narrowing time is a great
Improvement. Cork brick or Gre
soted blocks are also used for the
floor of the nest. Na
Hollow building tile laid on well
drained gravel covered with about
one inch of sand and with the joints
between the tile filled with sand
makes a dry, warm floor. In some
cases an inch of concrete over the
tile is preferred, as it makes more
easily cleaned surface, although not
so dry"
