Two Simple Reasons
Why Eggs Were Hard

"Lilybel, the eggs are hard again,
and you know the children aren't al
lowed to eat hard-boiled eggs" pro-
tested an exasperated housekeeper
recently to her colored cook. 'How
is it that you can't seem to learn such
a simple thing as how to boil an egg

Gas Tax Bills
Are Coming
in Numbers
LEGISLATORS SPEND Presses
SION DAYS IN FRAMING GAS
BILLS TO PRESENT TO COL
LEAGUES.

Seeking to attach their names to
legislation effecting in Minnesota the
gasoline tax, SO popular in Sc states
as means of obtaining good roads
funds, several members of the legis-
lature already are drafting bills or
the subject, according to reports from
the capitol. Others are expected to
identify themselves with the PROPOSE
ton which received at the recent cleo
tion over 5000 yes votes and more
than any other proposition or candi-
date.
Bills now being framed specify a
2-cent tax and follow like lines in
general. The tax is to be limited to
gasoline for motor vehicles using the
highways under most proposals which
provide for year-end refunds on af-
fidavits covering gasoline for other
purposes. Collections may Ge made
on certificates of the state oil inspec-
tor to the state treasurer and from
manufacturers or importers as is the
practice in three fourths of the
states.
The National Petroleum Associa-
ton and certain state organizations
of oil interests are fighting the gaso-
line tax and may attempt to obstruct
favorable legislation in Minnesota,
according to reports.
A rumor that the tax could not be
limited to gasoline for highway We
hicles was broadcast this week but
reputable attorneys predicted an eX-
emption plan will be worked out. The
report brought that altho the gaso-
line tax is universally popular, TWEEN
ty-two out of the thirty-six states col
lecting it make no exemptions. In
diana is one of the exceptions but re-
funded less than $4,000 on total OF
early $5,500,000. The average farm
err and others find the refunds so small
on exemption claims that they allow
them to go for good roads rather
than trouble to obtain them, accord
ing to the experience of some states.
Minnesota will take advantage of
the experiences of other states, it is
expected and enact model gasoline
tax law.

The grand sweepstakes, in the So

The Tri-County Corn and Grain
Show was started in 1914 by two
Tracy business men. For some years,
it was supported by the business men
of Tracy and some of the leading
farmers of the vicinity. About 1918,
the farmers of those counties took
over the management of the show
when the Tri-County Farm Improve
ment Association was organized.

How Canada
Would Conserve

The commissioner of Canada's ma
tional parks, j. B. Harkins, sums up
the difficulty of conservation when
he says:
Ninety per cent of the people take
little interest in the subject. My dream
of conservation is this: Every home
plot in North America a sanctuary
in effect; every individual protector.
Everyone must recognize more or less
personal responsibility. If we car
but interest the 80 per cent we shall
make the world better place to live
in, not only for birds and mammals,
but for human being as WELL"
Is he right? Would anything be
people, not now interested, developed
the instincts of protectors rather than
of destroyers Would sense of per-
sonal responsibility for the welfare
of forests, city trees, natural beauty
add anything to national progress
Would a wish to shield and protect
wilderness creatures, rather than slay
them, advance or retard manhood and
womanhood?
In any event, so long as a large
majority of all people care little OF
nothing about these things, so long
will conservation lag. And therefore
no better movements have recently
been evident, from a conservationist' s
standpoint, than the presidents re-
cent conference on outdoor resources,
the growth of the Izaak Walton lea
que, the conference on utilization of
forest waste in Washington.
No use talking of laws or regula-
tions to protect until most of the peo-
pie want to Observation-Disclosures

Farm Paper Sees
Good in Corn Show

AS an influence that is raising the
standards of the farm crops in its
district, no better example can be
found in Minnesota than the Trl-
County Corn and Grain Show, which
has been held every year for the last
II years at Tracy, Mimi, says the
Farmer, published at st. Paul. Farm
ers from three counties, Lyon, Red
wood and Murray, support this annual
show with their time, money and
exhibits. The business men of Tracy
have for many years been the main
financial hackers of the show, which
is now sponsored by the Tri-County
Farm Improvement Association. This
organization is affiliated with the
Minnesota Crop Improvement Assoc
iation, which contributes to the sup
port of the Tracy show.
That this show has had "a large
influence in encouraging the raising
of better corn and other farm crops
in those counties is. shown by the fact
that many of the farmers from these
counties are among the leading win
ners in the state crops shows.
"The quality and yield of corn in
the immediate vicinity of Tracy have
improved about 100 per cent since
this show was started ten years ago"
says L. T. Andrews, secretary OF the
Tri-County Farm Improvement Asso-
citation and manager of the annual
corn show ut wasn't many years
ago that many people thought corn
couldn't be grown in southwestern
hoUnnd
a doubt that we can raise good corn.
We are now growing just two or three
standard varieties well adapted to our
region and the yield per acre has
doubled in the last ten years.
The corn exhibits on display in the
gymnasium of the Tracy high school
from November "a to % bore out
Mr.. Andrews words that his section
can raise good corn. There were
1876 individual entries of corn exhibit
ed in ten-ear, 50-ear and half-bushel
lots. Most of the corn was OF the
heavy yielding kind, and the quality,
considering the off year for corn, was
good. Besides corn, there were also
good exhibits of grains, seeds, pota-
toes, and other products. Collections
of farm products from three indivld-
ual farms was one of the features Of
the show. The women's exhibits,
which included baking, canning, and
needle work, compared favorably
with those seen at our hest county
fairs.
/ A farmers and homemakers' in
stitute was held in connection with
the show. School was dismissed at
the Tracy high school and the build
ing was turned over to the people
/ for a series of talks and demonstra-
tons by agricultural men and wo-
/ men from several different states.

Gayety--" Dancing Around. "

Following such a record breaking at
traction as the one that appeared at
the Gayety Theater last week, any
show on the circuit might be expected
to suffer by comparison, but. judged
strictly on its merits, this weeks OF
fering is first-claSS entertainment
There is nothing startling in the acts
on the bill, and more evenly pal
anced and capable cast of perform
ers would be hard to find on the bur-
lesque circuit. The comedy is good,
the singing enjoyable. the dancing OF
an excellence to suit those inclined
to be critical, and the girls are tai
ented and pretty.
The comedy is handled well by
Harry Steppe, Vic Casmore and Ar
thur Putnam. Harry Steppe is real
rival of Abe Reynolds in his Hebrew
comedy character; Vic GaSmore is the
same excitabIe Frenchman that the
regulars at the Gayety know so well
and Arthur Putnam does his share in
provoking laughter.
Rose Duffin has the most to do
among the feminine performers, and
that she does it well was attested by
the amount of applause she received
last night. She is good singer OF
popular songs and dancer OF abInty.
Marie Vernon is good in variety of
song numbers as also is Lola Pierce,
