plan would wipe out any of the dis

hand, he said he thought it would

Maj. Lee, in answering this, took
the care OF the District of Columbia
to show that to have too many places
to deal with is bad. To attempt to
reach a decision on any matter in the
District, he said, 1t would be neces-
sary to see Congress, the District
Commissioners, and the Army Engi-
neer corps, none of whom cares much
about what the people wanted. Such

there should be no snap judgments
and that the whole matter be consid-

be taken.

DODGE BROTHERS
SEDAN IMPROVED

Unusual interest in the improved
all-steel bodies is manifested by
the constant throng Of visitors ut the
Dodge Brothers Exhibit at the Auto
Show. The low swung graceful lines
of the new bodies and the attractive
color in which they are now finished
are being admired by all who see the
cars.
Not only are there notable engine
refinements, resulting in surprising
new smoothncss and quietness of OPP
Grafton, but the bodies are lower and
the doors wider in appearance. The
improvement which is most apparent
mt first glance is the narrowing OF

pany, local Dodge Brothers dealer,
lin fact, Dodge Brothers have never
utilized scare copy in any Of their
adveytising-but among the crowd of
people who constantly stop to exam
inc the all-steel bodies one repeatedly
hears someone telling of IAN accident
where passengers in Dodge Brothers
motor cars escaped uninjurcd from
accidents in which, but for the
strength Of the all-steel body, serious
injury or even loss Of life would have
been certain.
safety in accidents, however, is
only one of the many advantages Of
all-steel construction. Due to the
broader vision a feeling of greater
security and safety is afforded all the
time one is driving. The increased
strength of the steel body insures
better fitting doors and absence of
body squeaks and noises throughout
the long life of the car.
"This safety, plus ease of control,
plus an eleven-year- world wide
reputation for dependability accounts
for the large number of inquiries we
have received and sales of Dodge
Brothers Sedans we have made lately
when q second car is needed as a

Southwest "Green Bug
In Minnesota Gran FIELDS
Several Farmers in the Vicinity of
Brooten Affected-Experts Say
They Cannot Control

The so-called "green bug" a plant
louise which often does tremendous
damage to the crops of the southwest,
has appeared in grain fields in
Stearns, Kandiyohi and Meeker coun-
ties, and near Brooten, Western
Stearns, according to A. G. Ruggles,
state entomologist at the University
farm. Some infestation, Mr.. Ruggles
said, is reported in Pope, Swift and
adjacent counties. Wheat, oats and
barley are under attack.
There is no known method of con-
trolling the pest, according to the au-
thorities at the University farm. The
weather this year, it was said, has fa-
vored the growth of this bug and at
the same time has been hostile to the
growth of parasites which ordinarily
destroy the "green bug"
The source of the infestation is not
known, although it is considered a
probability that the high winds may
have brought it from the southwest.

compelled to make a. campaign for
election this fall. According to his
own statement he would much prefer
to take "fall out of S. P. from time
to time than go to the state senate"
Nevertheless, DIR. Dubois is fully ap-
preciative of the confidence of the
neighbors of many years. In express
sing this appreciation he says:
81 desire to express to the people of
Sank Centre and vicinity my great
appreciation of the remarkable vote
they cast for me at the recent pri-
mary.
Injured as I am to political defeats,
there comes to me now not even the
shadow of disappointment at being
thus relegated to the minority by the
electorate of this legislative distri't,
but, rather instead, a positive sense
of relief that I am thus allowed to
escape responsibilities which, consti-
tuted as I am, would have been real
responsibilities taxing my ability to
serve to the utmost.
"But this token of confidence on
the part of my neighbors, and the
kindly references made of me by out
side writer's who have ben familiar
with my political record do not say
they are fully warranted-will be
treasured by me to my fastest day."
Otto J. Stein, the high man in the
race, is Holdingford township
farmer, and successful one. He
served the eastern part of this dis
trict in the lower house of the Min.
nesota legislature for two sessions.
dropping out two years ago to make
the race for county commissioner,
but was defeated. Mr.. Stein is
about SO years old and has a pleas
ing personality. He stands especial
ly strong with the farmers of the
district.
Ignatius Lemm, who will fight it
out with Mr.. Stein at the general
election, is a resident of Melrose. He
is about 35 years of age, and his bus
mess is that of life insurance agent.
He made a diligent campaign prior
to the primaries and no doubt will re-
tain this strength at the November
election.
x. A. Homer of Albany was the
fourth man in the senate race. He
did not make much of a showing, and
with the exception of Mr.. Lemm
spent more time campaigning than
any other candidate. He lost his
home village Of Albany to Mr.. Stein.
The Herald in inducing DIR. Du-
Bots to become a candidate felt that
the people of the district would be
glad to support a candidate Of his
outstanding ability for this position.

ceincts of the district gave Mr.. Stein

JUDGE J. B. HIMSL WINS FARM
ER-LABOR NOMINATION
FOR CONGRESS

The present congressman from the
Sixth district made a runaway race
of it in Mondays primaries, carrying
every county in the district. His
majority over Don A Freeman, the
popular St. Cloud paper dealer will
exceed 10000.
Under all circumstances Mr.. Free
man made remarkable showing. A
short time before he filed for the
nomination he discussed the matter
with the Herald editor. We informed
him that the Herald would support
him but that we did not believe he
had an outside chance to win the
nomination.
Peter Wadsworth of Cass Lake
polled the heaviest vote in Sank
Centre Of any precinct in the district
outside of his home town, Cass Lake.
He was very poor third in the race.
Probate Judge j. B. Himsl of
st. Cloud will be the Farmer-Labor
candidate to oppose the present con-
gresham at the November election.
The heavy vote Judge Himsl received
in Stearns county put him across. He
is not so well known outside.
In view of the vote received by
the present congressman at Mondays
primaries Judge Himsl's chances in
November are not very bright. He
will very likely carry Stearns county
by substantial plurality but after
he leaves Old Stearns he will find the
going pretty tough.
The tabulated vote of each county
in the district will give you a fair
idea of the result by counties. Com
plete returns will increase the ma
sjority of the present incumbent:
