To discourage the illicit sale OF
moonshine and it's manufacture
Chief of Police Joe Miller assisted
by Geo. Rice made a couple Of
round ups yesterday which should
have a tendency to cause others to
hesitate in the sale Of the liquid
posion in this section Of the country.
1t has been common street report
for some months that Geo. Koeing
was boo.legging. Fer Il number OF
years Mr.. Koenig was in the cream
cry business on Third street, dispos-
ing of his property to Mr.. Liden
berg who later disposed of it to
Kristensen Brothers.
Two gallons and one-half of moon
shine was found at the Koening
home. When brought before Judge
Kelsey he admitted that he had
manufactured liquor prior to last
fall his still bein, kocated Gin the
woods" He stated that his still was
stolen at that time since which TIME

At the time the still was stolen he
stated that he had about 80 gallons
on hand and had disposed of about
all of it except two and a half gal
Ions. He plead guilty to maintain
ing a nuisance and was given the
limit by Judge Kelsey, the same be-
ing a fine of $4,000 and costs
amounting in all to $108.35 which he
paid. The court admonished Mr..
Koenig that if he were brought be-
fore him again on similar charge
he would be given a straight Jail
sentence without the option of a fine.
Otto Olsen who moved to Sank
Centre from Blackjack about two
years ago and who resided in the
John Peterson house near the old
foundry was also placed under ar

Young Birchdale Farmer
Patents Feeding Device
Earl p. Pauly Has An Automatic
Feeder That May Revoiuiionize
Stock Raising

Carl P. Pauly, residing on farm
seven miles northwest of Sank Cen
tire in Birchdale township has re-
Gently been issued a patent on an
automatic stock feeding apparatus
which should be of special interest
to every farmer.
Mr.. Pauly's apparatus is so ar.
ranged that feed may be put into a
hopper and this is automatically re-
leased and fed down into the man
ger at any desired time. The re-
leasing feature is conducted by. an
alarm clock so that the food may be
released at any hour.
The main advantage of the auto
matte feeder Mr.. Pauly points out,
is that he can fill his hangers at
noon and by filling the hoppers of

Peter Robischon and those in a posi-
ton to know stated that they gave

Mrs. Bonus was q devout member

noon March 8, Rev. c. c.. Crickmer

the automatic feeder at the same
time and set the alarm clock for 4
o'clock in the afternoon, he does
not have to return or worry about
feeding the stock as the apparatus
takes care of that. He has had the
feeder working on his farm for
about year and is so successful
that he decided it was worthy taking
out patent on. His application
was filed May 9th, 1921 and this pa
tent was allowed Feb. 7th, 1922.
: Mr.. Pauly's invention would save
a considerable amount to the average
farmer who is taking care of many
head of stock as it would make it
possible for the farmer to leave his
place to transact business and it
would not be necessary to keep a
hired man in order to have the stock
properly fed at the proper time.
One of Mr.. Pauly's ideas in bring
ing out this feeder is that the farm
ser himself will know just how much
feed has been given the animals and
can rest assured that it was fed at
the proper time. ....
At the present time no agreement
has been entered into for the manu-
facture of the feeder but several
farmers have seen it in operation at
Mr.. Pauly's farm and all are enthu-
siastic over the invention. 1t would
seem to the Herald it would be some
thing of particular value to stock
man and in fact to any one who is
taking care of number of head of
stock.

Patron Must Give Value Of
Baggage to Be Checked
Railroads Will No Longer Accept
Personal Baggage for Transpor-
tati0n Without Statement

On March 1, 1922, the railroads IN
the western part of the United States
inaugurated an important new ruling
relative to the transportation OF
checked personal baggage Of their
passengers, and the travelling public
will do well to acquaint themselves
with the new order of things.
No personal baggage of any kind
will now be accepted for checking
unless the owner signs statement
relative to the value of the contents.
One hundred dollars is the maximum
value of baggage that will be check
ed free of charge for a passenger.
When the value exceeds that amount,
a charge of ten cents for every $100
or fraction thereof in excess of 500
will be made.
The railroads in the past have sus-
tanned material losses through the
dishonesty of some of their passeng-
ers who have lost checked baggage
in transit, and then filed claims great
ly in excess of the actual value OF
the lost articles. The frequent re-
currence of such cases has prompted
the roads to adopt the new ruling,
which, by the way, has been in force
on Eastern railroads for some time
past.
Henceforth, if passenger declines
to state the value of his, or her, per-
sonal baggage or other property, on
the prescribed form, it will not be
accepted for checking. The list OF
articles not acceptable for checking
lis quite lengthy, and as the railroads
are privileged to examine the con-
tents Of the baggage checked by
their passengers, the latter should OBJ
serve due diligence in complying with
the established rules.

Bureau to Offer 9 Agencies
Service as Clearing House
State Federation Invites Co-opera-
tives to Conference on Problems
of Common Interest to All.

st. Paul, March 9-Full use of
the whole farm bureau organization
as a clearing house for all farmers
common problems will be offered
the principal statewide cooperative
organizations of Minnesota.
The Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
Grafton is inviting officers and direc-
tors Of nine agricultural organza-
tions to statewide conference, to
work out in detail a plan by which
all these bodies may act promptly
and with a united front on all mat
tiers affecting the whole farming
population of the state. The farm
bureau will offer the use of It's state
headquarters, its office force, and
the facilities of the national offices
of the federation in Chicago and
Washington, to consolidate the pow
er of the cooperative marketing
agencies of the state for united ac-
ton.
The executive board of the state
federation, in session last week, vot-
ed to ask nine farm organizations to
send representatives to a conference
to discuss common problems and the
functions of a joint clearinghouse.
Informal invitations are being sent
to the Central Cooperative COMMITS
sion association, the Minnesota CO.
operative Creameries association,
Tno 4bo TT g Hro;Y, C,o1uorc Inc
the Minnesota Potato Exchange, the
Twin City Milk Producers, the Farm
ers Terminal Packing Plant, the wool
growers, the farmers mutual hail
insurance organizations, and the
Minnesota Cooperative Shipping as
ISOLATION.
New York farmers already have
created such clearinghouse, accord
ing to a bulletin Of the American
Farm Bureau federation. 1t IS
known as the Conference Board of
Farm Organizations. Several times a
year, the officers and directors of
the State Farm Bureau, the Dairy
mems League, the Grange and the
Fruit Growers, meet to take united
action on problems affecting all
farmers of the state. The last
meeting discussed control of tuber-
culosis in dairy cattle and legisla-
ton to improve state drainage laws.
"The result of the. work of this
conference board" the farm bureau
bulletin says, "is to unity the agri-
cultural thinking of New York and
enable all the farm organizations to
present solid 'front.'"
The Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
GRAFTON executive board, at it's
March meeting, passed resolution
urging Minnesota's delegation in
congress to support an amendment to
the income tax law, giving all CO.
operative organizations specific ex-
emption from payment of income
taxes. At present, the federal corI-
missioner of internal revenue has
ruled that surplus or reserve funds
set aside by CO operatives are tax
able as profits. The cooperative Or
ganizations' stand is that such funds
are not profits but money belonging
to members, and invested in the
business. The farm bureau, also
appealed to the internal revenue de-
partment to prepare special, simple
tax report for cooperative organiza-
tions, SO that it would be easier to
make reports required either in pay
ing taxes, or t oobtain exemption.

Stirring Statement
by Senator Kidd

To the Democratic Voters of the Tenth
Senatorial District:
Il am a candidate for the nomination
for the State Senate to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the late John n.
Shackleford, and am writing this let
ter to define my position on the ques-
tiOns affecting the welfare of the state
We are appalled, at the enormous cost
of running our state government. The
last Legislature appropriated nearly
Sl0,OOO,OOO to cover two years ex-
penses. This is of deep concern to all
citizens of the state and we may well
pause and ask, whittier are VIC drift
ing" We have wandered from the
paths of economy and II is high time
for us TO retrace our steps and regain
that road which alone leads TO pros
perity, happiness and cOntentment.
This can be done by calling halt
to wasteful extravaganza now in
practice in the various governmental
departments of the state. The state
Is filled with Office holders, all of whom
are drawing large salaries. indeed
they have become so numerous as TO
be more grievous than were the lice
that infested Egypt In the days Of the
PharaOhs. I am I'm favor of wedding
out all needless Office holders and of
reducing salaries wherever It can be
done without impairing the efficiency
Of governmental affairs. The burdens
Of taxation can be lightened by a re-
sort to rigid economy.
What are the conditions by which
we are surrounded Discomfort is
manifest everywhere. Capital is timid !;
labor Is restless; the great industries
of the state are languishing and the
farming class is grooming under the Cd
pressive burdens Of high taxes. These
evils can he remedied by calling halt
TO wastefulness and extravaganza.
The Senate of the state is composed
OF thirty members and at it's last ses-
sion IL appointed an army of attaches
that cost the state the enormous sum
Of SSO,S40.OO. This did not include
the pay Of the Senators or the $40 600
appropriated for the contingent ex-
penses. In that one item 100000
could have been saved. Many Of these

LETTER FROM SEN. MORTON

In announcing my candidacy for

to strangers. / know many of you
personally, being your representation
in the State Senate for eight years and
during that time 1 have responded 10
every demand made upon me by your
people l helped frame the good
roads bill which means much to Cal
houn county and / claim some credit
for the distribution of funds on q
mileage basis that secured to counties
like Calhoun just treatment in the way
of road construction. L opposed the
heavy burdens of taxation laid upon
you, and If elected to Congress, will op-
pose unjust burdens laid upon the COM
mon people by that body am of the
common people and it is their interests
that is uppermOst in my mind. My
thought is of the man of moderate
means, the farmer and the toiler. rath-
er than the immensely rich.
Make the masses prosperous and
business will thrive as the result. j
am opposed to favoring big business at
the expense of the vast majority COM
posing our citizenship. l believe that
those who are most able to pay should
bear the greater burden of taxation,
and where the consumer is unduly
taxed, that tax becomes unjust.
With confidence 1 submit my cause
to you, believing that the voters of Cal
houn County will do their duty, and
doing so / will be satisfied.
Very respectfully,
