Many War Taxes Are Dropped.

MANY WAL LAKES are UTOppCu.
With the passing of the old year
there also passed the government tax
on large number of articles rang
ing from products of the soda foun-
tain>and ice cream parlor to wearing
apparel and railroad tickets. To those
who patroniZe the soft drink parlors
there has come a new era, an era OF
even change rather than the relue-
tant search for the missing penny or
pennies or the doubt as to just what
that concoction she ordered is going
to cost, via the war tax route. The
menus can be read more intelligently
now.
Travellers on the railroads will en-
joy the, elimination of an eight cent
tax per dollar on the cost of their
tickets and goods shipped by express
will travel for five cents on the dollar
less than of last year, according to G..
T. Noyes, cashier at the Great North
ern depot.
While the greater number of war
taxes passed into the discard with the
coming of the new year they were re-
tanned on some articles as telephone,
telegraph and cable messages; cigars,
cigarettes and tobacco, firearms,
shells and other hunting articles and
jewelry made of precious metals
There are also numerous special taxes
that will remain operative.

Early Land SPECTATORS Fooled.

The efforts of spectators to take
advantage of the rise in the value of
property when the Northern Pacific
railroad was extending it's road thru
western Minnesota about 1870 are re-
vealed in papers of Governor Horace
Austin, recently given to the Mime
sofa Historical Society. Certain OPP
orators in land received what they
considered sure tips" that the North
ern Pacific railroad was to cross the
Red River at a certain point. Ac-
cordingly they sent their squatters
ahead of the agents of the railroad to
establish claims on this property,
which at that time was unsurveyed.
Their chaggrin and loss were great
when the Northern Pacific actually
ran the railroad line nearly thirty
miles from the property they had SO
hastily acquired. r..
In the Austin collection are also
letters written by local politicians
during the reconstruction period fol-
lowing the Civil War, in which they
request the governor to use his i11f1u-
ence to secure for them "carpetbag"
positions in the south TIE collection
is said by the officers of the Historical
society to be a very valuable addition
to its files OF the papers of Minnesota
governors.

the reading public articles for the
promotion of better health in the
county. ~aa.-.
The County Nurse this week sent
in for several health magazines and
bulletins dealing with health topics.
Among them were the Bulletin, a
national magazine dealing with tu-
berculosis, and the Minnesota Health
magazine. An effort will be made 70
maintain bulletins and magazines of
interest to both the children and the
older people on the health table at
the library. y
According to the County Nurse,
many of the minor ills of grown-ups
and children may be eliminated by
the knowledge of facts set forth in
the various health magazines and it
is with a view to furnishing this
reading matter to the public that the
table is being established at the local
library.

Cows Like A Warm Drink.

Do not permit your cows to drink
ice water, is the admonition of e. A.
Hanson, dairy extension specialist at
University Farm, Cows will not drink
the needed amount of water when it
is cold,' says Mr.. Hanson. eff the
stalls are not provided with water
buckets, place a tank heater in your
tank. 1t is far cheaper to heat the
water with coal or corn cobs in the
tank heater than with corn fed to the
cows"

it will dispel the hope still lingering that Amer
lea will continue to be benevolent benefactor
for every suppliant their people will get down to
the basis of economic thinking and doing, which
will bring about the restoration needed for their
happiness.
Secretary Hoover had convincing answer to
the European sneer that America waxed rich
during the war at the expense of the less FORUM
ate allied powers. Without figuring the war
loans, Secretary Hoover said, we had given them
one billion dollars in charity and lent them
81, 900, 900 since the armistice. These sums
he asserted had not only saved the lives of mil
lions of their people but also kept their govern
ments from an imminent reign of anarchy and
chaos.
He believes if the European nations will act
on the five points which he has outlined they
will be able to work their own way out of the
middle.
The Cincinnati Enquirer believes that some
of the European people will be slow in graspng
the economic worth of Mr.. Hoover's suggestions,
but it adds: "The nations must come 10 realize
that they are not face to face with economic
theories, but, as the secretary pointed out in
language not to be misunderstood they are face
to face with the memorable principles of economic
ny giene, disregard of which brings a continued
harvest of human misery and danger. And,
finally, he advised his fellow countrymen: Until
these principles are recognized and applied, our
citizens must guide their business with caution
in relation to the nations who as yet are unable
to take these steps,"

Hoover on Europe's Needs

Herbert C. Hoover, secretary of commerce, is
erninently qualified to pass judgments on the eco
nomic needs of Europe and to speak authorita-
lively on Americas attitude toward the countries
of that continent.
Much idle talk has been spread broadcast re-
garding our duty to rush to the aid of suffering
Europe and to become involved in its troubles
Mr.. Hoover has not been swept off his feet by
sentimental appeals, but has let his judgment be
guided by facts, which he had abundant oppor-
'tunity to gather first hand
His five points relative to the restoration of
Europe therefore can be accepted for their can
dor and truth. They A sensible peace
basis, less arming, balanced budgets gold stand
ard, and fixed reparations.
The probability of the United States extend
ing further loans to these countries, he said,

merits our warnest appreciation.
