SOMEBODY is "SORE"

During the past week the state
has been flooded with small posters
warning tourists to avoid Elk River,
the claim being made that fee traf-
ic officials were profteering on au-
tos. The poster was signed by the
Tourists Protective Association -
Communication with Elk River brings
information that the traffic cop is
hired by the county and does not get
fees and the speeders are taken be-
fore the Justice of the Peace in any
of the towns along the highway in
Sherburne county. The letter states
that the bills were probably gotten
ut by some person who was arrested
and fined for speeding and is sore.
The county attorney of Sherburne
county is endeavoring to locate the

President Coolidge to Aid
Northwest Dairy Farmers
Tariff Commission Are Directed to
Make Rigid and Immediate In
, vestigation of Tariff on Butter

Washington, D. c. Aug. 2O.-Pres-
ident Coolidge, with characteristic
firmness has directed the tariff
commission to make an investigation
of the tariff on butter. This action
has been taken by the president on
account of the rapidly increasing inn
portation of this dairy product from
Denmark and other countries.
Mr.. Coolidge is determined that
those who have brought this form Of
industry to such high standard shall
have all the projections that he is able
to give them, and ali!the machinery
of the government will be directed
by the president to. seeing that the
men and women on the dairy farms
are given all the aid that it is possi-
BILE for the government to render.
The situation is one that empha-
sizes the wisdom of tariff that is
flexible, one that can be changed to
meet sudden changes in conditions.
Fo. the year ending May 80, 1928,
12,800,000 pounds of butter came in
to this country and in the year end
ing May 80, 1924 the butter impor-
taticns had increased to the amazing
total of 28,74,6O6 pounds, practical
ly double the amount of the previous
year, and a further increase in inn
pcrtations would have the effect of
causing great hardship to thousands
engaged in the dairying business,
more especially those living in Iowa,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, uli-
nois, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska, Oregon, Washington, Cali
fornia, New York, Vermont and
Maine. While the present duty on
butter is cents per pound the i'm
portations have been increasing at
such rate as to cause or at least
threaten serious competition with the
output of the dairymen Of the coun-
try.
President Collidge is determined
and has shown by his actions that he
does not intend that anyone engaged
in working in any of our numerous
industries shall suffer from the COM
petition of Europe where labor is
cheap and the standards Of living far
below those that exist in this coun-
try. He will use all the power at his
command to see that the investiga-
tion is conducted with as much speed
as possible.

mos with nitroglycerine, only to be
driven away in a gun battle with citi-
zens before they completed their task
Cosmos, Meeker county, is 65 miles
southwest of Minneapolis. It has a
population of $50.
Shortly before 200 a. m. two ter
rifle explosions awakened the town
Emil Hackbarth, garage proprietor
across from the bank, ran to the win
dow, saw dim light in the bank, and
caught a glimpse of men moving to
and fro. Crouched at the window
sill, he began shooting into the bank
The light was extinguished, the
bandits ran to the front door and op-
ened fire on Hackbarth.
With bullets whistling across the
main street, John Jeravek, cashier of
the bank, who lives next door to the
garage, also joined in the battle.
From front window he fired sew
eral shots at the gunner, who dashed
out of the bank and ran down the
street to their automobile, parked
with fourth man at the wheel.
The four raced away toward Min
|neapolis and escaped in the dense fog.
Organizing for chase, the volun-
teers found that Cosmos was cut off
from the outside world, and couriers
were dispatched to Litchfeld, Is
miles away, where Sheriff Bernard
Anderson of Meeker county was
aroused.
Investigation disclosed that the
bandits had driven to the edge of
town, parking their machine near a
cornfield, and had then cut all
wires.
Forcing an entrance to the bank
by way of basement window, they
| exploded charges of nitroglycerene
and succeeded in opening one COM
partment in the safe, where records
are stored.
The upper compartment, which was
mot opened, contained a $4,000
creamery payroll and a large amount
of the banks cash.
E. O. Nelson, president of the
bank, said the damage to the build
ing was small. Eight bullet holes
were found in the garage and several
in the bank.

Crooks engine was named after the

NO PLACE FOR ADVERTISING

The recent ruling which banned adj

way applies also to all kinds of pla-
cards and posters which seem to be
literally attached to telephone poles
in some places, says the Dassel Dis
patch. These advertising signs. are
as much out of place as are the
board signs erected, and it would be
well for publicity men to bear this
in mind now that the fall campaign
is on. Posters advertising fairs, pic
mics, dances, etc., also are under the
ban, and it is understood they are
not to be tackled on poles along the
highway.

Paper Makers Complain
of Scarcity of Rags

II seems like barking back To early
days that the manufacturers of high
grade papers have called on Secretary
Hoover of the Commerce department
TO ala them in procuring a reserve
stock of rags. Some of the mills had
less than a weeks supply on hand
when they made the request, and
none of them had any considerable
stock.
In the days following the Revo.u-
lion paper manufacturers advertised
In the newspapers urging housewives
to save their rags that they might
have sufficient supply for their use.
This was before the discovery that
paper could be made from wood pulp,
says the Brockton Times.
In the early days of paper making
tombs were rifled and the wrappings of
mummies were converted into paper.
For many years most of the rag
stock for paper mills had come from
across the sea. Smyrna was the great
shipping point, and thousands of tons
were sent here every year.
Due perhaps to the prevailing pow
erty, Europe is sending less than half
the usual amount of rags. Probably
the people are still wearing them.
