Preston, November 16.--Seldom

ments on the petition Of William T.
Kelsh OF Coon Creek, Anoka county,
to have declared void the vote cast
Tor Ralph ]. Parker for Judge of
the tenth judicial district. II had
been understood that Mr.. Kelsh
wuld argue that the reimbursement
OF district judges, for amounts ex.
pended for postage, expressage,
telephone tohs ana stationary, were
emoluments within the meaning OF
the statutes.
The surprise came when Mr..
Kelsh argued that mis- grounds for
the declaring void the vote cast for
Mr.. Parker, was that as Mr.. Parker
succeeded himself as member Of
the house oil representatives his
term In that office did not end and
would not end as long as he held
the office continuously; that Mr..
Parker voted f0. the increase OF
salaries or the judges of the district
courts at the special term in 1919
and that ne was re- elected In the
fall OF 1920 and at the session of
1921 he voted to increase the sal
aries of the judges OF the three big
districts or the northern part of the
state. which salaries were based
upon the number OF square miles in
the district and the population;

fee as member of the legislature
not ending until the first Monday of
January next, a year could not have

Raw Product Given For Treatment
Cattle Infected With Parasitis


ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l
st. Paul, November 16.-Raw lin
seed oil is the most satisfactory
treatment for cattle infested with
parasites, DR.. w. A. Riley, chief of
the division Of entomology of the
University of Minnesota, declares In
answer TO numerous inquiries at the
University farm here.
Heavy losses Of livestock result
ing from bad infestations of cattle
has brought the matter to the at.
tention OF the agriculture authori-
ties here. DR.. Riley explained that
this difficult problem can be made
comparatively, simple If undertaken
early enough in the season to nip
the infestations in the bud.
Applied thoroughly with /, o brush
or rag In such quantity that one
pint will suffice for four or five
cows, the application should be Gen.
tered on the upper parts OF the neck
along the back, the shoulder tops,
and about the folds Of the udder and
sscutcheon DR.. Riley said. Treat
ment should be repeated every two
weeks until cured he added.
Use of crude petroleum for killing
lice on hogs is recommended BY the
entomology chief. Sodium fuoride,
applied by the pinch method rather
than the dip method is an efficient
treatment for poultry, he said. He
cautioned against the repeated mis-.
take of getting sodium chloride
when sodium fluoride 10 wanted.
