MANY FIRES STARTED
BY CAMPERS, SMOKERS

Campers and smokers cause %
per cent of all forest fires in Min
nesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan,
according to the annual report of
the Lake States Forest Expert
ment station, Raphael Zon di-
rector. The report has just been
prepared at University Farm for
submission to the advisory COM
mittee of the station. The records
are for the year 1925. The rail-
roads, brush burners and other
miscellaneous agencies are rela-
lively less important today in
starting fires than they were 10
years ago, the report says. The
forest fire studies, authorized in
1924 and now nearing completion,
have developed many interest
ing facts in regard to the forest
fire situation. During the last
decade, the report says, seven
million acres have been burned
over in the three lake states with
an aggregate loss of $38, 600, 900.

tact and resourcefulness on the
part of members of Congress and
their secretaries to keep these
visiting delegates in good humor
and at the same time avoid de-
finite pledges.
An occasional society notice
concerning visiting officials re.
veals some interesting angles OF
our international situation. A
group of men are gathering
quietly here for conferences with
high officials of the department
of State and the Army and the
Navy, relative to the Forthcoming
conference on limitation of arma-
ments in Geneva. The outstand-
ing figure in these meetings here
will be Hugh S. Gibson, Amer
lean Minister to Switzerland, who
is expected within a few days.
The presence of diplomatic and
military observers representing
the American Government at the
four corners of the earth is es-
sential because of the magnitude
of the problem involved. No code
has ever been devised to cover
the data necessary for our repre-
sentatives at the Geneva con-
ference. 1t requires verbal re-
ports and exchange of opinions.
Gradual extension of American
participation in foreign affairs
brings out the fact that we are
not as thoroughly informed on
conditions abroad as foreigners
are of conditions in this country
Although diplomats are very
taciturn when international af-
fairs are mentioned at social
gatherings, an occasional word is
dropped which provides material
for speculation.
9t-has been suggested that the
limitation of ornaments shall
be construed to include limi-
tation on the industrial strength
of the various countries. This
brings the question of ornaments
close to the financial, manufac-
turing and working groups. Eff
forts to keep the conference to
the question of ornaments and
pass up all political and econo-
mic questions are regarded as
most important.

WASHINGTON Letter
By " HDaley


Washington, March 3-With
the tax bill out of the way, Con-
gress is breathing more freely.
1t was unquestionably the most
important legislation before the
present session because of its
economical and political effects.
With thousands of bills pending
before various committees, the
Senate and House is doing its
best to sort the wheat from the
chaff before adjournment in the
early summer.
The organized groups interest
ed in legislation have in recent
years adopted new methods. The
day of the high-salaried attorney
to handle legislative matters fol
great organizations in Washing
ton has passed. Not so long ago
the word lobbyist" was used
rather freely to describe an
affable and thoroughly we'll in
formed agent who took advantage
of his acquaintance with mem.
bers of Congress to solicit their
votes on certain measures The
approach was usually followed by
lavish entertainment, etc., on the
part of the legislative agent. To.
day the policy of decentralization
which has hit government &C.
Invites has also affected legis-
lative movements. The demand
for legislation comes from the
field or, in other words, direct
from the constituents. The Wash.
ington representatives of organ.
ization are chosen for their init,
mate knowledge of politics and
politicians and serve merely as
coordinators for field forces.
Several senators have remark
ed this week on the change in
legislative tactics and called at
tention to the growing tendency
to hold conventions in Washing
ton during sessions of Congress.
A convention was held here re-
gently of national organization
and the delegates numbering
several thousand were given
definite assignments. The out
come was that members of Con-
gress received large delegations
from their home districts de-
handing immediate action on
legislation in which they were
interested. 1t requires unusual

MORNING PASSENGER
TRAIN 6 HOURS LATE

The Great Northern passenger
train from Minneapolis which is
scheduled to arrive in Askov
about d o'clock in the morning,
did not come in before 10 today.
A freight train was derailed
near Stanchfield about midnight
and both the night passenger
trains were routed via Milaca
which caused the delayed sched-
ule.
The Twin City wrecking crew
were at work shortly after the
accident and had the track clear
ed before morning. One freight:
car was completely caved in,
three others very badly damaged
and nine more went off the:
track.
On account of the delayed re-
ceipt of the morning mail the
rural mail carriers had very little
mail to deliver.

ASKOV COMES BACK
STRONG AT BRUNO

The Askov basket ball boys
went to Bruno Friday evening
with the determination to trim
them up and they sure made a
good job of it. At no time dur
ing the entire game did the Bru-
no boys have a chance, yet, in
spite of the big odds, Won Schenk
was able to smile at times.
Bruno made one point on a
free throw which was the, total
of their< evenings work. Askov
seemed to be able to make bas-
kets right along and at the end
the scorekeeper announced that
it was 20 to 1 in favor of Askov.
Those playing for Askov were:
A. Rodholm, A. M. DeYoung, C.
M. Nelson, Gus Thomson and
Harold Sorensen; and for Bru-
no: Won Schenk, Pearson, Oster-
kamp, Moffat and Ames.

eral farm loan system as the
greatest successful cooperative
effort ever undertaken in this
country. He showed that the
twelve federal farm land banks
are inter-dependent and that the
member of the local loan associa-
ton is part of finance system
which is second only to that of
the federal reserve system,
having out more than a billion
dollars in loans and serving more
than 100000 farmers. Mr.. Faast
said that the next greatest adj
vance in cooperation would be
in cooperative salesmanship. AS
an example he told how Mime
sofa butter is now finding a very
wide outlet through the efforts
of the cooperative associations
in first making a premier product
and then acquainting the world
with the fact.
More than 5000 individual
farmers and many times that
number through their cooperative
marketing associations have been
accommodated in the last year
through the intermediate Credit
Bank, said J. A. Rickert, vice
president and general manager
of that bank which is housed
with and differed by the Off
Gals of the Federal Land Bank
of st. Paul, although a distinctly
separate institution for the pur-
pose of Observation-Disclosures
paper running for longer than
six months from banks and agri-
cultural credit corporations and
loaning directly to cooperative
marketing organizations. Loans
now outstanding total more than
~ million dollars. The Wiscon-
sin Tobacco Growers Association
has been very successful in dis
posing of its tobacco and will
likely increase its loan to $1,000
600 this year." Mr.. Rickert told
the farmers. THE loan to the
North Dakota Wool Growers
Association was paid before it
came due. We have also been
able to help the Door County
Fruit Growers Association of

financing the carrying of it's cher
ry pack until delivery date.
Among the questions discussed
by the presidents and secretary
treasurers was, who may bor-
row." Paul A. Preus, treasurer
of the St. Paul Bank, indicated
that an owner of a farm, if not
an actual operator, must be close
enough ito give intimate consid-
Grafton to the operation of the
farm" In considering the ques-
ton of extension of credit, secre-
tary A. R. Burr said he always
weighed very carefully the debt
paying power of the applicant
and to considerable extent that
depends upon the margin of ear
ming power available to discharge
debts" Secretary Burr also in
dicated that the bank desired the
stock purchased by the member
to travel with the loan" in case
the farm.is sold and the mortgage
assumed by another farmer. IF
the first or record owner posi-
lively will not sell to the pur.
chaser of the farm, the stock
must not be sold elsewhere, but
shall remain with the original
owner until the farm mortgage
is paid and discharged by the
bank"
Samuel Torgerson of Grand
Forks, N. D., and A. C. Erickson
of Albert Lea, Mimi, both di-
rectors in the ST. Paul bank,
stated that agricultural condi-
tons in their respective states
are very much improved.

INCOME TAXES

The Collector of Internal Re-
venue mailed over eighty thou
sand blanks to taxpayers on
Monday and Tuesday. These
blanks are only for salaried
people.
The two houses of Congress
have agreed on the reduction in
the rate from go to 1870 for this
class of taxpayers. In addition to
this reduction in rate the tax
payers will have the $3.50 addi-
tional reduction on earned in
come.
Congress has also agreed upon
the increase in personal exemp-
ton of single persons from
100000 to 81, 10000 and married
couples from $2,5O0.00 to So,
10000.
Taxpayers who have received
these blanks are urged to file
their returns Immediately. March
18th is the last day to file and
save penalties. Taxpayers living
in cities are urged to come to
local Revenue Offices and get
help in making their returns. Our
whole force is at their disposal.
If taxpayers are in doubt we urge
them to write this office or to
call on the local Offices. The
time for filing is short, and we
again urge immediate action.
Corporations and, also, indivi-
duals who receive their income
from business, trade, or profes-
sion, cannot get their blanks at
present as there may be some
change made in the Conference
Committee, but blanks will be
mailed to these classes of tax
payers as soon as possible.

the bank now owns only "a
farms upon which it has been
forced to foreclose throughout
the whole district, comprising
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Da-
kota and Michigan, and most, if
not all, of these will be sold by
spring. "All other farms &C
quired by the bank have been
disposed Of" said President Jen-
nings. I'VE are in good shape
financially and the morale of the
members of the associations and
members is very good. Farm
land has begun to move again in
some localities and values are be-
ginning to be established through
sales. We are around the corner
from agricultural depression. We
are not looking backward, except
to keep our hind-sights adjusted,
but we are looking forward to
much better times for the far

DR.. c. F. Roam of Chicago, a

Danes of Chicago. DR.. Roam
