DUMPING INTO LOCAL LIQUOR
SITUATION WITH INTENT TO
CLEAN AND CURE WILL BEST
SERVE PROHIBITION"

You can take it from Calvin Cool
idge that if the groaner who thinks
prohibition isn't adequately enforc-
ed would jump into his local situa-
ton and help the policeman to en-
force prohibition, then nationwide
prohibition would be even more eff
fective.
The President believes that "the
local policeman" upon whom he looks
with all a small town New England
er's respect, is the hope of the hamlet
and the town that wants to be dry.
And hence the hope of those who
want the nation to be dry. With his
usual practicability and plain speak
ing, the President points out what he
considers an obvious fact-namely:
That unless municipal authorities in
city, town and state are enforcing,
then nationwide enforcement cannot
be nearly as good as it should be.
The former mayor of Northampton,
Mass, is irked by disposition of
many well wishers of enforcement to
'1et George do it, their George be-
ing the federal government.
Prevention of small sales of liquor
in localities, he thinks, is distinctly
local work, but he grants that it is
quite as distinctly the duty of the
federal government to prevent SNUG
Cling and supervise Withdrawals of
liquor
Once the President thought it would
be helpful to take the prohibition en-
forcement unit out of the internal rev.
enue bureau of the United States
treasury department and put it in
the department of justice, which now
| prosecutes violations, but after study
tof the problem and after talking with
Roy A. Haynes, prohibition commits
sioner, he is not so certain of that

Rep. Kramer
Presents Bill
in House
REDWOOD-BRoWN REPRESEN-
TATIVE WOULD TAX BANK DE-
POSITORS FOR. THEIR OWN
PROTECTION; PLAN is UNIQUE.

Michael Kramer representative-at
large from the Brown-Redwood dis
trict has introduced bill in the low
er house of the state legislature,
which he thinks will solve the bank
deposit guarantee problem. He
would have depositors pay annual pre-
miums each time they make deposit.
While in general way the bill is a
positors' money, its plan is entirely
different from the usual run of guar
ranty bills. Michael says he evolved
the scheme himself.
Payments would be made into the
guarantee fund in the following man.
ner:
The bank itself would pay into the
guaranty fund out of it's own resourc-
es a sum equal to l mill for every
dollar Of capital stock and surplus
payments to be made June and JAN
uary l.
Each person, when making a saw
ings or time deposit would pay in ad-
dition an amount equal to mills for
every dollar deposited as protection
for one year from that date.
Each holder of a checking account
would pay to the bank 2 mills fol
each dollar of what he estimates is
the average maximum of his account
and for one year would receive pro-
lection for that total amount, and M
more. fss
Each bank would retain the fund.
in its own guaranty fund and the!
could be invested by the bank.
L. Lo@ k1,l l.c hill
guaranty fund of between $1,000,
900 and $1,500,000 year would b.
built up, sufficient to protect all de
positors in state banks. To make Ger
tain that banks which now are OF
the verge Of insolvency might not b.
placed in position where they coult
prey upon the fund, Mr.. Kramer's bill
specifies that the act shall go int
effect July 1, 1925, but that no pay
ment could be made until after JUNE

Gov. Puts Veto
on Increase of
Salary Bill
BILL TO INCREASE PROBATE
JUDGES SALARY IN ST. LOUIS
COUNTY MEETS CHIEFS DIS
FAVOR.

A bill designed to increase the
salary of the judge of probate in st.
Louis county and including also the
clerks in the probate judges office,
which was passed by the legislature,
was vetoed by Governor Christian
son Friday.
The measure, introduced by the
five senators from ST. Louis county,
is said to have been endorsed by the
bar association of that county. Ac-
cording to it's authors, an effort will
be made to have the bill passed over
the veto.
Governor Christianson in his mes
sage declared that the bill increases
salaries as high as twenty-five PEI
cent.
81 do not believe that we are jus.
/ titled in increasing any salary tt
such an extent at this time when the
/ tax payer is burdened with heavy
taxes and his income reduced by the
| general situation" the governors
veto message states.
I 'In my message to the Legislature
| said: "The situation suggests thai
the legislature should be reluctant
to impose additional obligations OF
! local governing bodies, that legisla
tion affecting the smaller units Of
government should be permissivt
rather than mandatory, and that ex
ercise of power granted shoult
! not be made compulsory unless i'm
/ peratively demanded BY considera
tions, of the general welfare
I The governor added that If meas
ure should be passed giving tn
board of county commissioners au
thority to increase salaries, he
would give it his approval. Il do no
believe, however, that the state a
such, should take any action tha
would compel such increase by tn
countless" he said.

County Agent
Gives Warning
on Testing Seed
MUCH POOR SEED CORN FOUND
IN REDWOOD COUNTY; LYNN
SHELDON SOUNDS WARNING
TO FARMERS.

A large run of samples of seed
corn have been tested during the past
few weeks both officially and unof-
ficially and all of these tests indi-
cate a very poor termination OF
corn which has been saved by many
farmers in the county who have seed
this year. Every farmer should at.
once run termination tests on his
seed corn to determine the quality.
If the termination is low, ear tests
should be run on all the seed in or
der to eliminate the poor ears. This
may be done efficiently by the rag
doll method providing certain care
is exercised in the handling of the
rag doll test and the proper number
ing Of the ears.
In the first place all ears must
that they may be numbered or re-
in squares corresponding to the rack
or placement of ears. Five kernels
taken from butt to tip and spirally
around the ear placed in the square,
numbers corresponding to the plac-
ing of the ear, then tapping the cloth
over the corn to hold the kernels in
place and roll it up ,around a corn
cob with plenty of cloth of the rag
doll covering the outer surface which
is necessary to prevent drying out.
The doll should then be soaked in
warm water for twelve hours then
laid up in warm place where the
temperature can be kept constant for
A to 5 days, each day dipping the
dolls in warm water to assure satur-
alton of moisture. At the end of
the a or days, the doll may be rolled
out and the termination read cor
responding to the ears in the rack
and the poor ears located and elimin-
ated, in this way the termination may
be definitely checked and the assur-
ance of planting corn with high ger
mination will mean "a great deal to
the corn crop of Redwood County
this year.
Saw dust or dirt boxes may be used
with ground marked in squares in
similar manner to the rag doll test
providing these methods are pre-
ferred. The main object is to as
sure moisture and heat to the kernels
for a period of to 5 days.-Lynn
Sheldon, County Agent.

Advance In Oil Shares
 Adds Greatly to Value

NEW YORK, Feb 20.-The steady advance in the price of oil shares since the first of the year, based on sharp reduction in crude production and a series of gasoline and crude oil price increases has added nearly 400 mil lion dollars to the quoted value of 10 active issues listed on the New York stock exchange.
 The combined appreciation in the other petroleum shares listed on the "big board" together with that of the many issues traded in on the New York curb market, where many of the former Standard Oil subsidiaries were listed, undoubtedly would bring the total gain in all pipe line and oil shares dealt in local securities mar kets to close to one billion dollars.
 Since the first of the year there have been four general advances in gaso- line prices in the eastern territory and nearly the same number in other sec tions of the country. Practically all grades of crude oil have been advanc- ed within the last month. Inasmuch as most of the large producing and

Ellis Ball Chili Mill
 A Boon to Prospectors

The Ellis Ball Chili Mill is receiv- ing many favorably comments in var ious mining congresses and conven- tions in the States, on account of it's portability and flexibility, the mill be- ing small enough to be disassembled and packed on prospector's back, or large enough to run through several tons of ore daily
 The extremely low price of these mills have made them popular in the states, and hundreds of outfits may be seen going into the mountains in the Southwest. They are especially adaptable for Alaskan ores, as they have large grinding surface and the power required is surprisingly small.
 MT. Nels Hagen of Mile ', has a sample mill on hand, and is agent for Alaska. If you are going in the hills this summer, or have small property you should write him for literature

 The Seward Real Estate Company has large amount of property in and around Seward listed for sale and it is also interested in the development of considerable mining property near Seward, and particularly in the Nuka Bay country where there is likely to be considerable activity this season. Many samples of the fine ore of that district are on display at the Com pany's office.
 MT. Kempfer, who is an experience ed mining man will continue the busi- ness of the Seward Real Estate Com pany along the lines followed by the Company, and will spend his time be- tween Nuka Bay and Seward, and when he is absent from Seward the business of the Company will be in charge of MT. A. E Fucker.
 The prospects for Seward this com ing year are particularly bright and it is expected there will be consider able activity in the real estate busi- ness.
