Foul Seed Costs Northwest
Farmers Large Sums Yearly
Educational display at Northwest
Dairy Exposition Show How Loss
Can Be Overcome

Eradication of the $4,000, 900 an.
nual loss to the farmers of the
Northwest is the objective of an ex.
hibit now in preparation for display
at the Northwest Dairy Exposition to
between September A and IL.
Last year grain farmers in the four
spring wheat states, Minnesota, North
and South Dakota and Montana, lost
$19,543,710 through dockage in the
spring wheat crop alone according to
"a report of the Grain Investigations
Division of the United State Depart
ment of Agriculture. This loss rep
resents only the cost Of wheat that
could have been grown in place OF
weed seeds and does not include the
cost of freight, cleaning and Other
processing made necessary by tht
fouled grain.
More than 446,970 tons of dock
age was shipped to local and treminal
markets from these four states during
1925. Six and five-tenths per cent Of
the entire spring and durum wheat
crop Of the four states had to be
docked.
South Dakota had a larger per-
centage of dockage in her wheat than
any Of the other three spring wheat
states. The government report in
dicates that 81 per cent of the en-
titre crop, or 88,440 tons, was dock
ed. North Dakota comes next with
the largest tonnage, $4,000 tons, but
only ia per cent. Then Minnesota
with 900 tons and 60 per cent and
Montana with the lowest percentage,
81 per cent and 30,480 tons Of
dockage.
Figures for 1925 show startling in
creases over 1924. The total increase
for the four spring wheat states in
tonnage is 44,850. The percentage
for the entire four states increased
from 4.6 per cent for 1924 to 6.5 per
cent for 1925. In 1924 there was
402, ,120 tons of dockage mixed with
spring wheat compared to 446,970 for
1925.
The dockage display is being pre-
pared for exhibition at the North
west Dairy Exposition as unit of
the new tweed, breed and feed" ex-
hibit. When the show opens with the
Minnesota State Fair, the exhibit will
be in large room by itself in the
open barn across from the Hippo
Idrome on the Fair Grounds.
Graphic illustrations will show
the losses resulting from the excess
cost Of freight in transporting foul
grain, the excess overhead on the
threshing bill, the extra cost Of bind

economic boycott. This interest is
due to the fact that Mexico is one Of
the consumers of American products.
The Department of Labor, through
the Bureau of immigration, is watch
ing the influx of refugees, etc. The
border patrols of the various. branches
of the Government are keenly alive
to the possibility of smuggling arms
and amunitions. 1t seems that the adj
ministration will cary out the well de-
fined policy of non-intervention.

Students of politics are analyzing
the returns of recent primaries in sew
eral mid-western states. The inter-
pretations vary according to the po-
litical affiliations of the analyst.
D.
There is some comment here to the
effect that the issues raised in con-
gresional and senatorial contests of
late were directly on the prohibition
and farm relief questions. Certain
Democrat leaders are beginning to
doubt the wisdom of party chiefs in
making the tariff the principal politi-
cal issue upon which to base their
fight for control of the Senate and
house. The subject is seldom, if ever,
mentioned in the local contests, so
that observers here say that it will
not be seriously considered as ma
jor issue. The returns from the pri-
maries indicate that voters have ex-
pressed their preference to candidates
making a clear-cut declaration OF
principles over domestic issues.
The feeling exists that the inquiry
into the cost of primaries in Pensyl-
vania, Illinois and other states will not
figure prominently in the forthcom-
ing elections. Though the exposures
at the hearings are, undoubtedly,
startling, and the admissions of ex-
penditures show quite clearly that
politics is no longer poor mans
game. The voting public is strange
ly apathetic to the activities of the
Reed Investigating Comittee. At one
time the disclosure of large expendi-
lures in regard to candidates for Of
fee would have been signal for a
public outcry, but nowadays it fails
to attract more than an Indifferent
shrug of the shoulders. Interviews
with political leaders show, however,
that there is some reaction, for money
necessary to defray the expenses of
political campaigns is not easily forth
coming. As a result of the sacarcity
of large contributions the propaganda
of the two major parties have been
delayed.
Despite years Of effort, it is al
most impossible to re-organize the
Federal Trade Commission into a
peaceful camp. Mr.. Harding endeav-
ored to bring about realignment to
obtain a working majority but his
plans fell fiat. The present incum-
bent of the White House has made
one or two passes over the subject
but the Commission has not been hyp-
Noticed into submission to the Execu-
tive. Recently, the President ap-
pointed Abram F. Myers Of Iowa, an
unusual proceeding from a geogra-
phical standpoint as it is customary
to spread the patronage around the
sections. Some caustic folks say that
Mr.. Coolidge is apparently attempting
to placate the farm belt with patron
age. Mr.. C. w. Hunt, another men,
Der of the Commission was appointed
after recommendations from the So
called farm bloc. The retirement of
Houston Thompson next month leaves
a Democratic vacancy which must
prove a puzzle to the President.

New Highway Jobs Spread
Over State of Minnesota
Growth in Gas and Auto Tax Re-
ceipts Makes Many Grading and
Crawling Projects Possible

That auto license fees and gasoline
taxes go promptly into better high
ways was indicated by the announce
ment today by C. M. Babcock, COM
missioner of highways that bids will
be opened August 81 on nearly three
dozen construction projects.
The proposed work is scattered ov-
er northern, central and southern
Minnesota, and will involve the ex-
penditure of approximately 81, ,000, 900.
It includes 54.1 miles of new grading,
14O.4 miles of graveling, nine new
bridges, 41.6 miles of shoulder grad
ing on roads now being paved, and
one short stretch of paving. The new
grading involves the excavation of
1,123,00 cubic yards of dirt and the
shoulder grading 100000 yards. The
gravel surfacing aggregates 183,67O
cubic yards.
The list includes the following pro-
jects:
Trunk Highway No. 22-From
Paynesville to Eden Valley, 10. z
miles, 306, 400 cubic yards Of exca-
vation and bridge 4178; length rs
feet.
Shouldering on No. 3-From AL
bany to Avon, 6.5 miles, l7,6OO Gu
bic yards.
Automobile license receipts from
Jan. to August 1 were $9,547,207
and the gasoline taxes for six months
S2,23O,122. The automobile license
receipts will probably exceed $10,-
100000. This will give the state
highway department about $4,000, 900
more than the estimated receipts and
this will all go into new construction,
as the amounts needed for mainten-,
ance and for interest and sinking fund
for payment of county reimburse
ment bonds had been set aside earlier
in the year.
Continuing the policy adopted a
wear ago. the department is also adj
vertising for bids on $4,000 barrels OF
Portland cement. The state buys the
cement for all paving, instead OF hav-
ing it furnished by the contractors.

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, August 11-Vacation
days are depicting the ranks of gov
ernment executives in Washington.
Everybody who can find an excuse
leaves Washington during the "dog-
days" of August, as the National Cap
ital is notorious for its humid climate
in the summertime. Although the ex-
ecutives are away (the minor officials
continue to operate the Federal de-
partments without any noticeable
change. Many Of these officials look
forward to the vacation of de-
partmental heads as time when
power will come to them even though
temporarily. 1t is more difficult to
obtain an interview or conference
with a minor executive than with the
"Big Chief" It is usually the out
cropping of arrogance which char
acterizes the petty Government bur-
eaucrat.
However, there are few items re-
lating to governmental affairs which
are of interest. First, in the interna-
tional relations is the Mexican relig-
ious controversy. Primarily, the sit
uation is one to claim the attention Of
the State Department but there are
other branches of the administration
which have more than passing in
terest in the disturbances in the pre-
vailing neighboring republic. Unless
there are some unexpected develop
ments which clearly involve the rights
of American citizens, it is doubtful
that this Government will change
from the rule of impartial observer to
an active participant.
The Department Of Commerce is
making a study of the reports of con-
sular agents as to the effect of the

AMERICAN LEGION
THE AMERICAN LEGION

Ten years ago the Legion was not.
It's members were in school or at
work. They knew they loved Amer
lea, Old Glory, but though little about
the mater. Until suddenly the Call
came. They answered! They fought.
Many fell Many returned.
But the flame of patriotism did not
die down. Through The American
Legion these boys have converted war
time service into peace time accom-
plishments. Taking our own Mime
sofa for example, in Rochester they
led in providing a Community Golf
Course the land for which cost $24,-
900. Around that 160 acre tract will
grow a Memorial Drive of trees. The
whole tract will be known as Soldiers
Field.
In Duluth they encourage civic SER
vice by placing each year in special
"Hall of Fame" the picture of which
ever Duluth citizen does most for his
city that year. In Hibbing and Man
kato they have just finished formation
of Municipal Landing Fields with
huge signs to lead aviators to their
home towns.
In little towns like Raymond too,
the Legion is planting good seed tia.
good will. Such deeds include pur-
chase of half block in the h,lrt cf
the village for use as community
skating rink in winter and play
ground in summer, keeping children
happy and healthy the whole year
round.
With zest Zumbrota Legionaires
organized @. M. detachment, tour
ist camp, planted 100 elm trees in
the cemetery in memory Of their COM
rades, reverently followed G. A r.
and Spanish War Veterans to their
last resting place. In Minneapolis
Giantvalley Post gets south town
youngsters so interested in baseball
and hockey that they haven't time
to hang around the pool halls or
street corners.
Perhaps we have left for last the
things which are dearest and closest
to Legionaires and especially to those
wonderful members Of the Minnesota
American Legion Auxiliary. The re-
membering those who did no. fail to
reman but to return, wounded, weak,
ailing. That is tender subjecr, one
that is better told in deeds than
words.
Briefly, Legionaires are following
in the footsteps of The G. A. r.
When they too are old and gray, they
hope their example may inspire IN,
Young America some of that flame
which burned far off in ,leau Wood
in 1917. For Country and Comrades
Forever, is their slogan.

DRIVE cARFULLY ON ROAD

Did you ever notice that large
number of railroad crossing accidents
are to strangers in the community?
It seems a general rule that a per-
son driving car is less careful away
from home than at home, although he
is always at disadvantage away
from home. A safe rule is to treat
every strange railroad crossing as if
there were a train due every two
minutes. Because there are some
weeds between the rails does not in
dicate that that there will not be an
other train for a. week.-Windom

PLENTY MONEY FOR AUTOS

Minnesota community suffers in its
expenditures for automobiles. Fig

the communities Of generation ago

are paying the automobile bill and
hundreds of other bills unknown a
decade ago, paying double for edu-

New York District
Attorney and Sheriff
Removed from Office

Albany, n. Y, Sept. 30.-(F)-Gov-
ernor Smith today removed from Office
District Attorney Charles B. Andrus
and Sheriff Arthur G. Wilmot of Sara
toga county.
The order was based upon recon-
mendations of Supreme Court Justice
Christopher J. Heffernan of Amster-
dam, who. as special commissioner APP
pointed by the governor, recently
heard charges of neglect Of duty filed
against the two officials for permitting
wide open" gambling in Saratoga
Springs. DIR. Arthur G. Leonard, COM
missioner of public safety. of Saratoga
Springs, the third man named in the
charges, resigned from office after JUS
tice Heffernans report finding all the
defendants guilty had been served on
him by the governor.
The commissioner found that gam
bling had been conducted openly and
without hindranee in Saratoga Springs
and was going on even ''in the shadow
of the courthouse" while the hearings
were under way. He recommended
that Saratoga county be relieved of the
Communicating touch" of the three
officials.
Both the district attorney and the
sheriff in their replies declared that
they failed to answer the charges dur
ing the hearing because no evidence
had been brought out showing in any
way that they were not cognizant gam
bling was going on. They said the
procuring of gambling evidence was
the duty of the police of Saratoga
Springs, and were not respective Off
