Stork Makes Remarkable
Record In Pennington

Thief River Falls, April 15.-So far
as strictly natural increase goes. Pen-
nington county made an excellent rec
ord the past year. According to the
report received this week from the
state board of health by Clerk of
Court Adolf Ecklund there were 319
births in the county during 1921 and
only 1913 deaths. This is the best e
ord made since 1918 when the births
numbered 325. The death roll is the
lowest since 1917, when it totalled
1872. A comparison for the past five
years is interesting and gives another
indication of returning normally.

Seeding Has Started
In Pennington County

Thief River Falls, April 15.-Whcat
seeding in Pennington county has
started, G. G. Shannon of Sanders
township starting Thursday.
This is the first report of seeding
reaching the county agents office.
Last year the first report came in one
day earlier, but only a few got started
at that time. 1t is estimated that there
will be a reduction in the wheat acre
age of the county this year of at least
is per cent as compared with 1921.
Winter rye is coming along fine, the
snow fall following the early break
up having seemingly benefited the

81, ,25O,OOO for Removal
From a Star Correspondence

ALBANY, Feb. blyman
John j. O'Connor, Democrat, who rep
resents the home district of Charles
F. Murphy. the Tammany leader, to-day
introduced bill amending the law Of
1872 which aimed at the demolition Of
the spur of She Third Avenue "L' line,
which runs to Grand Central Station
The amendment, which has the in
dorsement of the Hylan administration,
provides that the cost incidental to
removing the structure shall be as
sessed on the taxpayers of New York
City. This means that the $1,250,O0O
demanded by the Manhattan Elevated
Railroad Company, which it claims is
due it largely from the abutting prop
erty onwers who occupy the few hun
dred feet of Fortysecond Street from
tho Grand Central to Third Avenue,
will not be paid by these interests but
by the realty holders Of the entire
city.
The money demanded, in addition to
the value of the spur, represents $780,
600 which the "L" road paid presum~
ably to abutting really owners when the
structure was erected in 1870; but those
who have searched the records in the
County Clerks office. say that only
$475000 of this sum can be traced to
those TOR whom it was intended and
that the other $325,000 went into hands

"The joke" Senator Straus in

to stamp out tuberculosis in cattle. 1t
provides that the mIfs OF tubercular
COW may be fed without pasturization

provides that no COW suspected of
tuberculosis shall no destroyed until
after "a tuborculin tcat has been made.
And this same joker leaves it to the
owner Of the COW to say whether that
test shnll be made.
"The legislation directly concerns
tho states food supply. 1t menacss
our meat supply and our milk supply.
More thnn that, It endangers the peo-
pie who cat that meat and drink the
