Minnesota Game
Refugees

The Minnesota game and fish de-
partment has issued a map on which
the game refugees of the state have
been marked in bright red. 1t shows
that the state is freckled with these
refugees. There are more than hun
dred of them, in size from a section
to vast area like the Superior Ma
tional forest, which covers much more
than a million acres.
In these areas the wild birds and
beasts have peaceful Ravens where
they may not be harassed and hunt
ed at any time, where they may live
and increase in peace.
1t is the common opinion that game
refugees may exist only in unoccupied
places, where the settler has not come
and where the sound of the ak and
saw is never heard. This is not so
in Minnesota. Many of the refugees
inclose old settled areas in which the
wild game may live close to where
men are active in their many callings.
This is not at all hard. One reads

State Politics
As Seen By
Charles Cheney

/ 1t will not be surprising if a deter
mined effort is made at this session
of the legislature to create state
police force to patrol the highways
of Minnesota and cope with motor
bandits. A number of the newspa-
pers in the smaller cities and villages
have been hammering on the need
for state protection against the bank
robbers and highwaymen with their
high powered cars, and this sentiment
is likely to find expression in some
bills before the legislature.
The Princeton Union sums up the
case for state police or constabulary
as follows:
With the bandits becoming more
and more bold in staging robberies
in the smaller villages, it appears that
the state will have to take steps to
protect those communities from such
raids. 1t would seem that a state con-
stabulary properly organized and re-
moved from the control of political
influences offers solution to the pro-
blem.
The average village with a popula-
ton of from 400 to 700 cannot afford
to maintain a police force adequate
to cope with even the present situa-
ton, and unless some steps are taken
to check this bold banditry it will I'M
doubtedly become a greater menace.
The rates for burglary insurance in
a village the size of Princeton, with
a population of approximately 1900,
are almost prohibitive and in some
of the smaller towns it may be i'm
possible to get it.
While state constabulary would
be quite an item of expense during
the course of year, it is also ex-
pensive to have goods stolen valued
at several thousands of dollars, build
ings wrecked and even lives lost.
/ 1t is argued that there would be no
need of constabulary if the larger
cities would have a thorough clean
up of the crooks who must have their
base of operations there. They come
out into the rural communities, raid
the smaller villages and go back to
the large cities with their plumber.
But what will happen to the small
villages while they are waiting for
the millennium, for thorough clean
! up of Minneapolis and st. Paul?
If state cOnstabulary is establish
ed, it should under no circumstances
be allowed to become prize for the
politicians, and would not be if placed
under the direct supervision OF the
board of control. That board has al
ways been above the reach of the most
| clever offceholders and no governor
has ever made the appointments as
political plums. The members OF the
board are paid fairly adequate salari-
es and chosen only on the basis of
fitness and ability. The board by
selecting one chief for the constabu-
! larry and making him directly respon-

Brown County Show

With an accepted list Of more than
one thousand entries the annual
Brown county poultry show, to be
held at the Opera house in Sleepy
Eye, January 9, 10, II and IL, inclus-
i've, is to be the largest and most
complete in the associations history,
says the Sleepy Eye Herald-Dispatch.
For the first time in it's career,
there will be an exhibit of wild game,
such as pheasants, prairie chickens,
quail and many others.
Farmers are urged to get busy now
and select from their focks such birds
as they wish to place on exhibition
during the four-day event. There is
less than a month left in which to
arrange the hundreds of things ne.
cessary for an affair of this kind.
A poultry expert of national repute
will be employed to judge exhibits
which, the committee believes, viii
occupy the whole floor space of the
Opera house.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1924-12-31

that in the oldest settled states, wild
game is found in considerable num-
bers quite close to the greatest cities.
1t does not take the wild birds and
beasts long to know where they have
a special right to live. The game
refuge idea has utility and, above
all, it is humanizing. The legislature
thinks that the beautiful game birds
and animals should be conserved and
that view finds expression in the law
which allows the organization of
these refugees.
1t would be sad to feel that these
wild things Of beauty are doomed to
extinction and that society is unable
to provide for their preservation.
If the refugees work as we hope they
will, coming generations will rise up
to bless those of today whose fore
sight and tenderness led to the estab-
lishment of the game refugees Of Min
nesota.-Duluth Herald.

sible for the organization should be
able to supervise the management
without making too great an addition
to its present duties. The man serv-
ing in the constabulary should also
be carefully selected as are the Of
ficers in an army and not be group
of political has-beens who would take
to their heels at the first report of a
gun.
Comment of the state press or
Highway Commissioner Babcock's
program for financing road operations
is generally favorable, though there
are some discordant notes. The
Mahnomen Pioneer says:
Charles M. Babcock has not failed
the citizens of Minnesota in one single
instance, and has given the people of
Minnesota the greatest road system
of any state. What he wants from
the legislature he should have.
Albert Lagerstedt of Gibbon, farm
er-labor member of the house from
Sibley county, was prolific source
of bills at the last session, and with
the start he got then he promises to
do still more in that line this winter.
He has outlined his ideas for legisla-
ton in a letter to the Gibbon Ga
zette, and they include some interest
ing features. Not many of them are
likely to bear fruit in laws, but they
offer something for committees to
talk about, anyway.
For instance, instead Of returning
to the party ballot for the state leg
islature, Mr.. Lagerstedt would have
all state officers elected without party
designation. He would reduce the
legislature to so senators and 100
house members.
The latter idea is excellent but it
is case of "try and get it," for it
means legislating 48 members out OF
Office, practically an impossible task.
Mr.. Lagerstedt wants to put county
Jail prisoners at work on the roads.
He proposes an earnings tax on high
way buses, and heavy sentences for
drunken drivers of automobiles. He
would make the consent of so per cent
of the land owners necessary to any
drainage project. Biennial revision
of the statues, similar to the WiscOn-
sin system, is another of his legisla-
tive planks.
The Lagerstedt program is wide in
it's scope. 1t proposes to legislate
against burning of crosses by the Ku
Klu Khan as public nuisance" to
put the state highway department on
a "pay as you go" policy, and to ask
congress for constitutional referen-
dunn on war. 1t also includes direct
nomination and election of the presi-
dent. He wants to cut the state bud
get 10 per cent, and cut the state in
spectors' forces in two by interchang-
ing their services.-Minneapolis Jour

Skunk ExterminatOr
Effective But Costly
Preferred Stock

The New Ulm Review is the Free
Press authority for the publication
of the following story, which, in
point of fact, we have taken bodily
from the Reviews columns. We
don't know where that paper got it,
but in any case it is certainly "edu-
cational." and as such it ought to be
worth while:
Because family of broad-stripped
skunks found it convenient to take
up their winter residence under the
school house in district No. 43, near
Bronson, Mimi, pupils of the dis
trict will enjoy an unexpected vaca-
ton, which will continue until new
building can be erected.
Hearing that the school board had
decreed the unwelcome tenants must
be routed, Ingval Anderson and Ed
die Peterson of that city, planned a
move of attack which in no way
threw reflections on the effectiveness
of the skunk's defense.
War of OdOrs Begins
They backed their automobile, one
of the jack-of-all- up to the
buildings, connected a hose to the
end of the exhaust and fitted it snug
ly into a small hole in the foundation
of the school house. A small hole
was left at the opposite side of the
building where the skunks were to
come out and be annihilated.
Ingval posted himself where the
victims were to appear and Eddie
was appointed engineer. The needle
valve was turned down several notch
es to improve the quality of the gases
and the engine coughed, choked, fired
misfired and made any amount of
gases, both burned and raw, which
crowded into every nook and corner
of the building.
Building Walls Crash
Ingval's patience nearly was ex-
hausted when, after nearly half
hour of gassing, the skunks failed to
make their exit. He had about made
up his mind the poor things were
dead when the unexpected happened.
A portion of the wall struck An
derson and knocked him unconscious.
Floor and ceiling met half way, win
dow panes crashed and pieces of sid
ing and singles were scattered In
every direction. Peterson and the
car escaped injury. Burning parti-
cles of carbon from the engine ignit-
ed the raw gases, causing an explo-
sion The damage was estimated at
$500. The skunks were stunned

A different situation presents
itself. in regard to fathers ana

A phrase of the bonus law, which,
among other details Of the act,

that the mother or father Of a
deceased veteran, in making appli'

under oath, "a statement OK the

pUNCTUALITY is a virtue. But
even virtue can be carried too far.
Samuel f. Freundlich. sixty years
old. had been employed by one firm for
owe thirty years and In all that time
he had never been late. He lived at
Rosehill. a Chicago suburb, and tool
the ZOO a. m. train every morning.
The other day he was a few minutes
late and reached the station just as
the train was pulling out. He ran to
catch it, jumped for the platform,
missed 1t and went under the wheels.
He lost both of his legs and probably
. his life.
We are all creatures of habit. Reg
ularity and punctuality are highly com
mendable characteristics. But they
aren't worth risking your life for.
It's better to break you record than
to break your neck. BE on time. by
all means. but when an occasional mis-
calculation makes you a few minutes
late. don't risk your life in order 10
maintain your record.
Men who are sixty years old haven't
any business running after trains, any
how. It's all right for the boy or the
young man. But the muscle hbers of
the heart are like rubber. When you
are young they can stretch. even he
yond the ordinary. without permanent
injury. But by middle life the heart
muscle is like old rubber. It's all right
as long rs you don't put an unusual
strain on it, but If it's stretched. IT'S
apt to break.
Men and women over forty-five. and
especially over fifty. should avoid sud
den, extreme and unusual exertion. If
the heart muscle is not diseased, it's
fully equal to the ordinary. everyday
strain which is put on it. But sudden
n severe exertion may cause serious
If not fatal consequences. Unusual ex-
ertion increases the rate and force of
the hearts action. The heart is like
a rubber ball. If 1t is overstrained, II
stretches. This may cause acute dila-
tation of the heart, sometimes severe
enough TO produce death. or ii may re
suit in stretching the valves of the
heart so that they never work properly
thereafter.
Many serious heart conditions have
their origin in some unusual exertion.
which is often unnecessary. If YOU
are middle-aged or past, don't run after
street cars or trains. Wait until the
next one comes. ever If you are a little
late. This may require five or ten min
utes' waiting, but 1t may mean several
