STATE WILL EXHIBIT
AT OWN STATE FAIR.

Dissatisfied taxpayers hankering to
perform operations on state govern
ment expense budgets are directed
to state departments exhibits build
ing at the coming state fair, by
Chairman John Coleman of the gen.
eral committees.
'"There they can gather the facts
find out what each state depart
ment and activity costs and what it
gives the public in return-and then
decide intelligently on any desirable
budget revisions," said Mr.. Coleman.
"Many Minnesota visitors at the
state departments building at the
fairs of other years have discovered
that the small portion of their taxes
taken by the state brings them as
much or more than any other money
they spend. Every citizen should
visit the building to correctly in
form himself on many public mat
tiers of vital interest and the enter
tainment features this year will
make the visit pleasant as well as
instructive"
State departments are uniting to
make their building an outstanding
feature of the 1924 state fair
Special attractions are booked. The
Capitol Glee Club of so voices will

grams and the Training School Boys

AUTO TAX SLACKERS
MUST PAY BY SEPT. 80.

A hunt by mail of more than zoe
automobile owners delinquent in
their vehicle tax, star ed Monday.
when warnings to the state debtors
were mailed under orders of Frank
L. Magic, sheriff. The tax must be
RENTED by Sept. 80, together with
SIS penalty, which became effect
i've July /. Fees of officers for
preparing and serving warrants will
be charged against the owners.
The st. Louis county delinquent
list comprised more than one-tenth
OF the state list of 10000. Press
warnings brought large number in
for payment and Mr.. Magic hopes
to lower the number before service
of the warrants is ordered.
"a large percentage of the per-
sons upon whom warrants are served
have disposed of their cars in some
way" Mr.. Magic said Monday.
"Most of the unnecessary work is
caused by failure of automobile
owners to obey the law, making it
a misdemeanor to fail to report dis
mantling, destruction, removal to
other states, or sale. 1t is neces-
sary that every owner report any
change in title or location to Mike
Holm, secretary of state.

Mocking Bird and Robin

To the South the hooking bird is
what the robin is to the North. He Is
known as far north as British Column
bia, but Is seldom found nesting there,
while those found In the southern
United States live there the year
round, writes a contributor to Bird
Lore"
The female builds her nest the latter
part of March, lays her greenish-blue
eggs, speckled with brown, early in
April, and by May the eggs are
Matched. A second brood is often
reared by the same pair of birds. The
hooking birds back is ashen gray, his
wings a brownish tinge with a large
white patch, and his throat and outer
tail feathers are white, with the under
parts brownish white.
1t is when the hooking bird works
himself up into q passion of song that
one realizes the wonder Of his voice.
He initiates the sounds of the woods
and the other birds, but he improves
on them.

the high standard set as trade
mark of their product. The eggs
are clean and sterile and are pro-
duced in modern, sanitary poultry
buildings. The veterans bring their
eggs daily to the receiving rooms
where they are dispatched to the
cities in packages bearing the stamp
of the Association. 1t is a guar
antee of quality.
at is the aim of the members of
this Association to give the buying
public the highest grade of eggs to
be purchased anywhere. Eggs not
over AZ hours from the nest, fresh
poultry and wholesome garden pro-
ducts bearing our label will carry an
ironclad guarantee of quality" said
Franklin S. Emmett, the Veterans
Poultry Instructor, who>Was recent
ly elected manager of the Associa-
ton incorporated unde the laws of
Minnesota.
AS a result of the quality first"
standard maintained by these dis
abled veterans, blue ribbons have al
ready been won at several poultry
shows, and remarkable egg records
have been set.> Charles Hoag, Vet
Grams Bureau trainee, during May
received as high as 218 eggs per
day from 23S hens. John Bursum,
another disabled man, has one hen
which laid 265 eggs in 293 days and
is still adding to its unusual record.
Matching eggs and baby chicks
will be offered for sale by next
spring and will be of the same high
grade as the record making hens, is
announced by this group of war
disabled who are making name
for themselves by their splendid
spirit of service to the community.
1t is a true disqualification of re-

No Regular Nail Sizes

Up until about the Fifteenth century
nails in England were sold by the hun
dred. Nails which sold for 10 cents a
hundred were called 10-penny nails,
those which sold for g. cents, 6-penny
nails, etc. When the prices changed
the names persisted and, finally, came
to be used to designate size. says the
Detroit News.
The "a is used as sign Of penny
and is derived from the Latin "dena-
RUS" According to Webster's Inter
national dictionary, the explanation
that penny" In this connection is a
corruption Of pound" Is wrong. There
are no regular standard sizes for nails
by pennies" For instance, the length
of 10-penny nails varies, depending
upon the kind Of nails and the firm
manufacturing them.

CITIZENS MILITARY
TRAINING CAMP.

Sulu Roterus, who in company
with John Anderson is attending the
Citizens Military Training Camp at
Fort Smelling, writes us brief &C.
count of the work and routine at the
Camp. In his letter he says:
"The complete roster numbers
1900 boys who are detailed into
companies and platoons. All the
boys. from different states and GER
tain sedlbns of the state ARE
grouped together. For instance,
Company A is formed entirely of
Minnesota boys. Both Anderson
and / belong to platoon of that
company. All the range and Duluth
boys are included in this section.
This is rather convenient arrange

$3.50 through the governments

army men were at the depot to

Immediately upon arriving at
the camp we were given our one
way fare, rushed through a physical
examination, QUILTED and assigned
to barracks. 1t was quite an i'm
pressing sight to see how rapidly
and efficiently the hundreds of boys
were handled. This was on Friday.
The streams of incoming boys con-
tinued throughout Saturday but on
Monday we were introduced to our
regular routine work.

are parade marching, the manual OF
arms, military courtesy, lectures
and rifle work. The drill is char

Smartness and precision in work is
uppermost in the officers minds.
The whole morning is devoted to
drill and rife work. However, the
drill is not so hard and tedious as
some seemingly wellinformed folks
think. Rest periods are frequently
Interpreted and lunch is served in
mid-morning. But while there is
drill the officers are very exacting
although your physical capacity for
work is not taxed. The students
also go through some short but
beneficial physical exercises.

afternoon free outside of an hour
of easy work. The elaborate MIL

English County Has
Its DUN Salt Lake

Every one who has swum in lake
or pond as well as In the sea knows
the extra buoyancy of salt water as
compared with fresh. This effect Of
salt on water is demonstrated strik-
ingly at Droitwich, the Worcester
shire spa, where there is water In
which 1t Is impossible to sink.
You can float on the water, sit on

out fear Of drowning. The better the
swimmer you are. indeed. the worse
you will fare, because the moment
you try to strike out your feet fly up

So high is the percentage of salt
that the crystals completely coat the
skin, unless drying is resorted to I'M

Reins of PoUer Held
in Hands of People

AS far back as the Middle ages, the
doctrine was held In England that
ministers of state were responsible, not
only to the crewn, but also to parlia-
ment, according to a writer in the Lon
don Times. For instance, in 1341 a
pledge was exacted from Edward III
that the chancellor and other great Of
ficers should be appointed in parlia-
ment, and their work tested by parlia-
ment. In 1873 another similar pledge
was given. These pledges were not
always kept, but parliament never lost
sight of them, and their spirit survived.
At~times this responsibility bore down
upon bad ministers with tragic effect
Several such ministers were impeached
by parliament, found guilty and be-
headed-Stafford, for instance, In the
reign of Charles /.
What may be called the modern doc
trine of responsible government was
first put into practice in the reign of
William and Mary, that is. few years
after the revolution of 16SS-89. Be
fore that time the ministry was often
composed of men of different political
affiliations, and 1t was no uncommon
thing for the secretary of state and the
lord treasurer to vote on opposite sides
in parliament. A ministry so composed
was not efficient or harmonious, and
William began the practice of selecting
all the ministers from one political
party, that party being the one that
had the majority In the house of COM
mons. From that beginning has grown
our present system Of responsible
ministry that Is absolutely dependent
for existence upon the will Of the
house of commons.

Interested in the gasoline tax, so
popular now in Sc states collecting
it and proposed in Minnesota, scores
of st. Louis county people are ask
ing many qestions about the plan,
and these inquiries are commonests
"Will the gas tax be two cents a
gallon?"
"Will it be an additional tax Or
bring cut in the auto taxi"
Nickles N. Dimes, the gas man,
makes this answer:
Minnesota voters at the Novem-
Der election will not decide whether
tax is to be placed on gasoline,
but only whether the receipts. from
such tax, if one is levied by the
state, shall be used for needed road
work or pay miscellaneous state ex-
penses. If a majority of all votes
cast are Eyes" votes and the legis-
lature places tax On gasoline, the
money will go on the roads. If the
amendment is not adopted, and fail
ure to vote is equivalent to vote
against it, the money will go into
the state general fund and not for
roads.
"The legislature now has authority
to order gasoline tax, but cannot
divert the proceeds from it to road
purposes without an amendment to
the constitution, which requires
favorable vote of the people.
Regardless of the result of the
November vote, the legislature next
January is expected to consider
gas tax proposal, partly because of
the extra revenue it will bring the
state from outside tourists-prob-
ably more than 100000 a year.
Also, it will decide the rate of tax,
whether it shall be an additional
levy and all other details. It will
have the same control over that as
over the motor vehicle tax rates and
may adjust them as it deems best"
But according to reliable figures,
the gas tax man added, with a e
cent gas tax added to the present
state tax, Minnesota car and truck
owners would still be paying less
taxes on their machines than those
in the average state.

INFECTION DANGERS
IN SUMMER SCRATCH

Vacationists were warned 20 be
more careful of bruises and slight
wounds, because of the seriousness
of infection, by DR.. Harry w.
Gentles, chairman of the first aid
committee, Chicago chapter of the
American Red Cross.
''The tragic death of young Cal
vim Coolidge, Jr., has served dram
atically to show that no wound is
slight" Doctor Gentles declared.
''There is always the danger of in
lection. When the skin is abrased
or cut, do not go on with your ten
mis- or golf-avoid further irritation.
If the swelling, pain or redness con-
tinues, consult doctor.
SIT is great mistake to wrap a
handkerchief around bruise. Thous-
ands of infections prove to doctors
that so-called clean cloths are
never free of germ life.
Especially in summer should
bruises be watched. Vacation act
ivities, outdoor sports, mountain and
seashore pastimes bring frequent
minor scratches and bruises. Vaca-
tionists should be as careful as their
doctors.
eff you get slight wound or
bruise, do not neglect It,. Serious
sickness may result, and occasional
ly septic poisoning may cause death.
There are four simple things that
one should do:
.First, apply half-strength tine
ture of iodine to the wound, or bet
ter, use glass ampoules. Never ap-
ply near the eyes, between the
thighs or for wounds of the intest-
ines. 1t is mistake to wash the
injury. Iodine is a destroyer OF
germs, and is very effective. as wal
surgeons proved.
Second, apply a sterile piece OF
gauze, folded into a convenient pad
Third, wrap this dressing with q
sterile gauze bandage. Fourth
fasten the bandage with adhesive
plaster.
sit is simple to do, but it may
save much suffering later. There
is no need to fear septic poisoning
from summer injuries, if you d.
/ this. The American Red Cross i.

and children these simple rudiment.

PROCTOR FAIR NEXT
BEGINNING TUESDAY,

The Proctor Community Fair, the
second st. Louis County Fair will
be on August 26, 81 and %, Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday of
next week. Several from here are
contemplating a visit to Proctor and
take in the fair. Coming as it does,
just ahead of the greatest county
fair in the state and being quite a
distance from Ely, the crowd will
not be as large as the one going
to Hibbing for the County Fair.
The Proctor exhibition is worthy of
attention however. G. F. Olson,
former editor of the range depart
ment of the Duluth Herald. was in
the city Monday in the interests Of
the Proctor Fair.
