Farm Help Supply Nearly
Equals Minnesota Demand
All Calls Being Met by the State EN-
ployment Agency-Wage Aver
ages $50 a Month

The farm help situation in Mime
sofa is improving rapidly, according
to j. D. Williams, Industrial Com
missioner. Mr.. Williams is in charge
of the free employment agencies in
St. Paul and Minneapolis and has
been working in close cooperation
with the Minnesota Farm Bureau
Federation and the county farm bur-
eaus to solve the farm labor problem.
'Last week, for the first time this
year." says Mr.. Williams, "we were
able to fill all calls for farm help.
This is partly due to an increase in
the number of men who are willing
to work on farms and partly to a
decrease in the demand.
Farmers of the state are paying,
on an average of $50 month for
satisfactory help. This averages
up well with wages in the cities, be-
cause at this price men get their
board, room, and as rule, washing. "
Requests for farm help should be
sent either to the office of the local
farm bureau or direct to the en-

difficulty that it was saved.
The cattle and horses were in the
pasture except four calves and the
herd sire of Mr.. Borgmann's pure
bred Holstein dairy herd, M. M :.
Ormsby Fobes Mess Burke. The four
calves and herd sire were burned, to-
gether with eight tons of hay, $50
bushel of oats, harness, etc. The
machine shed was also destroyed but
the machinery was removed.
Mr.. Bergman and family returned
from Hill City Monday evening and
knew nothing of the fire until they
reached Sank Centre as communities

The structure was one of the most
modern barns in Stearns county. Mr..
Borgmann's total loss is not less than
100000. He was insured with the
North Fork Farmers Mutual Fire In
surance company and a total loss adj
justment was made by the directors
Tuesday.
Under the rules of the company
not more than $40 will be paid on
any single head of cattle and the pol
icies on buildings are comparatively
small. The net loss will be at least
$4,000.
Mr.. Borgmann will rebuild at
once.

The Herald is convinced, from
what it has already heard, that an at
tempt will be made to make capital
out of the Townley appearance in
Sank Centre, and that statements
will undoubtedly be made that he
was prevented from speaking, but
regardless of who makes statements
of this sort, they are absolutely with

Great Falls Business Men
Use Novel Advertising
Visits Sank Centre Latter Part.
of Last Week

A f1iver sedan painted all the
colors of the rainbow with variations,
passed through Sank Centre one eve
ming the latter part of last week.
The front end and sides of the car,
including the hood, was utilized for
advertising space, telling of the vir
tues of Great Falls, Mont, and private
ads by merchants of that city. The
varigated colors presented by the
car, reminded the service man OF
some of the Camofouge attempts he
saw overseas and it is not to be won.
dered at that the car attracted un.
usual attention at every corner al
which it stopped.
The Kiwanis club of Great Falls
wanted to send delegates to the ma.
tional convention in Atlanta, Ga.
To pay expenses, they sold advertis.
ing space on the car to the town
merchants, charging from 81 up, de-
pending upon position. The radiator
sold for 5000 and advertised the fight
at Shelby. Merchants took space anG
devoted it to telling how many rail
ways run through the town, the mum
Der of schools, churches, people ano
clubs they have. The whole present
and past of Great Fall was painted
on the body of the car, in bright
blues, reds and greens, and on the
windows, bumper, door handles, fend
ers and windshield. Altogether about
$4,000 was paid for advertising. On
the back of the car on a plain white
surface, hundreds of people paid 81
each for the privilege of writing thei1
names. :.
The party stopped off for the Shrin.
ers convention in Washington, then
proceeded to Chicago by way of De

The Terrific Heat Has
Taken Heavy Hog Toll
Minimum Loses Only in Cars That
Have Been Properly Sanded
and Iced

With the coming of excessively
hot weather, the annual toll of hogs
lost in transit to market is beginning
anew. According to officials of the
South St. Paul Stock Yards com.
pany, losses are light only when AMI.
mails are shipped in cars that have
been properly sanded and equipped
with suspended ice bags, before leav.
ing the point ofAorigin. =:
eff shippers could see the dead
hogs in cars as the trains Ill up
to the unloading platforms, they
would insist upon shipments going
forward in cars that have sand on
the floors and at least six burlar
sacks filled with ice suspended iron
the ceilings" says T. E. Good, Prcsi.
dent of the Stock Yards company.
Thus far this year 1896 hogs have
died in transit. On June 4, the hot.
test day this year, 2O4 hogs died, an
average of five to car which was
neither sanded nor iced. In one car
II dead hogs were found. In cars
that were properly prepared for hot
weather transit, the loss has averaged
less than on animal per car.
Shippers should follow these sug.
gestions:
1. Haul or drive hogs to shippine
station in time to allow them to be.
come rested before loading.
2. Insist upon a clean car, bedded
with sand.
8. Wet down the bedding and in
terror of car before loading.
a. Give only light grain feeding
before shipping. Heavy feed means
more body heat generated.
5 Load not more than one hour
before the train is to depart.
6. Load slowly and carefully
Avoid excitment and do not beat o.
bruise the animals.
z. Load not to exceed 10000
pounds in standard SO foot car.
8. Have the cars drenched al
available point Immediately after the
train stops.

Three More Livestock
Firms are Suspended
South St. Paul Commission Men are
Forced Out of Buiness-Two
Quit on Own Accord

Three more livestock commission
firms at South St. Paul have been
forced out of business. Directors of
the St. Paul Stockyards company
last week denied for an indefinite
period, the use of it's pens and other
physical property to The Farmers
Commission Company, Rodgers,
Amundson Commission Company,
and the .Drovers' Commission Com
pany. The Stock Growers Com
mission Company was suspended
sometime ago. All, as members of
the South St. Paul Exchange, had
been suspended for 80 days, for VIC
lation of trade practices as revealed
by a federal audit of their books.
The audit was made by the Federal
Commissioner, under provisions of
the Stockyards control act.
The Independent Commission
Company and McKissick, Alcorn &
Magnus, both of which were penal
lied as result of the federal dis
closures, have voluntarily retired
from the market.
In the case of Chandler, Krost
Company, which firm was fined $3.50
by the Exchange, Herbert Chandler
has been expelled, according to Stock
Yards company officials.
Further investigation of the books
of firms that have been fined, with
out suspension, is in progress.
Federal Investigators are continu-
ing their audit of the books of firms
not yet probed.
"There will be not let-up in the
investigation until we have rid the
market of dishonest commission
men," said prominent officials of the
Stock Yards Company. eve look
upon dishonest dealing with shippers
as no less crime than bank robbery
and are determined to make full use
of such police powers as we have.
Our only regret is that we can not
be more severe"

citizens thought, and that those most
Objectionable to business men in gen
eral have the least chance of being
passed.
The seven revenue bills yet TO be
disposed of would produce additional
revenue respectively. from gross oil
production, the licensing of automo-
biles. Intangible assets and inherit
ances, levy YAK on gasoline and the
gross production of sulphur. and
stiffen the delinquent tax law.
Must Rush Bills.
These measures represent the net
result. thus far, of strenuous pro-
cess of elimination conducted by the
element of the LegiSia-
turc. But in reducing the number
from nearly 40 to Z. these members
all but exhausted their resources.
Now they have reached a stage at
which. according TO one of them. ex-
pediency rather than principle may
have to control the situation.
They regard as inevitable the en-
actmPnt Of the Coffee oil production
tax bill and the Cowen gasoline tax
bill. and anticipate the passage of the
Smith inheritance tax bill in some
form.
1t is estimated that the proposed
increase in the oil production tax
would produce S1.200.000 to 81 800
900 in additional revenue. and that
the receipts from the tax of l cent
per gallon on gasoline would total
S6.000.000 to SS.000.000 annually.
According to Comptroller Lon A.
Smiths report to the governor, the
revenue that the present tax laws are
expected to produce would fall short
by 81, I03. 1I4.S2 of meeting the
states expenses. exclusive of any
new expenditures that may be incur
red by the present Legislature.
According TO officials who have
made allowances for additional ap-
by the present Legisla-
turc. the state would face a total
lefict of about SJO00.OO0 if no new
revenue measures should he enacted.
II the oil and gas tax measures
should yield the minimum revenue
claimed for them by their supporters.
n a grand total of S7.200,00O. there
would he an excess of S2.20O.OOO
above the maximum deficit of So
100000 anticipated by the proponents
IF the pending bills.
Favor Some OF Bills.
Even the most conservative mem
oers of the Senate appeared today to
be disposed TO vote for some of these
seven bills, on the ground that. in

he said, by parceling out the estate
i'll lots not exceeding $4,000 each.
In eliminating all but the seven
tax bills mentioned, the members of
the Legislature who have been OPP
posing an increase in taxes feel that
they have achieved almost as much
as was humanity possible under the
circumstances. At the beginning of
the present session. and until it be,
came evident that the Senate would
not accept ANY old" tax measure,
many members of the House were
cast in the role of Caesar from the
taxation standpoint. Then the Bru-
fuses began TO arise in the Sen
ate, and most of the tax bills met
the same fate that befell the old
Roman on the Ides of March. The
Legislature has decided to adjourn on
the day just preceding the fatal an
niversary. .

ments in the Senate and House Mon

servers of proceedings in the Texas
Legislature to these conclusions:
First. that enactment of some OF

many property owners regard as radi-
cal or drastic. is inevitable.
Second, that the passage Of any
two or three of these measures, there
are now seven in all. would produce
more additional revenue. in the ag-
