A NEWSPAPER ACHIEVEMENT

The st. Cloud Times took on
truly metropolitan airs Monday eve
ming when a 112-page edition COM
memorating the 65th anniversary of
the establishment of the Times was
published.
During the past few months the
Times company have expended some
things like $4,000 improving the
papers mechanical equipment, the
chief item of expense being the in
stallation of a 24-page Hoe perfect
ing newspaper press capable of print
ing $4,000 24-page papers per hour
The Achievement edition of the
Times is a splendid specimen OF
topographic art; the paper is a COM
plete volume of ST. Cloud, Stearns,
Benton and Sherburne counties from
the beginning of things down to the
present time. The news and fea-
lures stories are cleverly written
showing the versatility and ability OF
the Times force of writers.
The Times has the complete AS
ISOLATED Press news service, recelv-
ing from $4,000 to 10000 words
daily over specially leased wires, and
with it's adequate mechanical equip
ment it is truly metropolitan news
paper.
Publisher Fred Schilpin has shown
supreme faith in the future of the
Granite City and Central Minnesota
The Herald heartily congratulates the
Times publisher and editorial force
and the citizens of St. Cloud on the
remarkable success of the Achieve
ment edition.

COLORADO SUGAR
PLANT SUFFERS A
$75O,OOO BLAZE

PUEBLO, Colo, Nov Is R-Three
quarters of a million dollars dam
age and one man injured perhaps
seriously was the result of a de.
structive fire of the east warehouse
of the Holly Sugar corporation al
swink, Colo, so miles east of here
tonight.
The blaze had been brought under
control by IL o'clock but it had not
been extinguished and it was thought
it could not be extingufshed for two
or three days. Molten and blazing
sugar was running in streams from
the immense pile of 10000 sacks
which filled the warehouse. Everett
sWiswell, La Junta fireman, was m
Jured internally and his leg was
broken while he was fighting the
fire. Wiswell was taken La JunJa
hospital.
The Rocky Ford and La Junta fire
departments responded to the alarm
given after the fire broke out at z
o'clock and quickly had six stream of
water furnished by the reservoir of the
company playing on the blazing build
ing. More than 100 men from Swink,
Rocky Ford and La Junta came to the
fire and aided in the fight.
Spontaneous combustion was given
as the cause of the fire. This some
times happens when sugar is stored in
large quantities soon after it has been
made, officials of the company said.
The warehouse had just been filled at
the end of last week and the two other
warehouses at the factory had been
partially filled. One Of the two re-
naming warehouses was, small and
was adjacent to the one that burned.
1t was tordn down to prevent itE
catching fire and spreading the flames
to the other warehouse.

years of married l:fe, the birth or
two children and a divorce is az
tracing immense attention here anc
there is great searching OF precec
ents and records of the laws of the
Roman Catholic church. Since Their
divorce, the duke has married Miss
Gladys Deacon and Consuelo has en-
tered into matrimonial.ties with JAG
ques Balsan of France. The original
marriage was performed with the
rites of the Episcopal church, while
in their second unions both the duke

One explanation seems to be thas
Consuelo, desirous of regulariz.ng nel
marriage with Colonel Balson in the
eyes of the Catholic church, sought a
decree of annulment from Rome. The
Catholic church refuses to recognize
divorce, anG therefore regarded the
Balsan marriage as invalid

MELLON SUGGESTS
A HIGHER REFUND.
ON INCOME TAXES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-CR)-secre-
tary Mellon today again boosted the
ante on the plan of President Coolidge
for income tax credit. declaring it
would be safe 70 permit taxpayers a
saving of at least Is per cent on their
next years income levies.
The 5 per cent minimum credit was
predicated, Mellon explained, on a pros
pective surplus of $SO0,OO0,0O for this
financial year. First estimates made
by the president indicated a surplus of
100000, 900, and on that ground he pro-
posed a 10 per cent credit, which later
was boosted to 1212 per cent
There were definite indications today
at the treasury, however, that no tears
would be shed there if congress turned
down the proposed credit plan, threats
against which have been seen in some
of the conflicting views expressed by
leaders, and forced the application of
this years surplus to debt retirement
But if the surplus is going to be re-
turned to the taxpayers, Secretary Mel
lon made it clear today that he saw no
other practical way to do it. He also
reiterated that no permanent cut in
tax rates would be sanctioned at this
time.
At a round table discussion of taxes
with newspaper men, Mellon frankly
called for alternative proposals to the
plan to give credit on next years in
come levies as a means of returning to
the taxpayers the prospective surplus.
ha ha
given on the excise and corporation.
taxes alone; others that the surplus be
divided in greater proportion among
the individual income taxpayers So
that those who pay small levies would
get greater credit; and some proposed
that the entire surplus be applied to
retirement of the debt.
Mellon replied that he didn't feel it'll
would be fair to take the surplus cre-
ated largely by income taxpayers and
apply it on reduction of the excise
taxes including the automobile and
admission dues. 1t would be difficult, |
also, he said, to give the smaller tax
payers greater credit because their |
payments were so small. This plan, he
added, also wou1d ~ prejudicial to the |
other taxpayers.
The secretary did no. deny, however,
that he would just as soon use the
surplus toward retirement of the public !,
1ebt, but added that the debt, which
now stands a. about $4,000, 900, 900,
would be cut by well over $500,0O0, 600
his year, and he considered this suffi-
,ient.
With surplus of more than $780,,
100000 in sight for this year and busi
less conditions continuing sound, the
was offered that it would
De a safe move to make a permanent
'eduction in taxes. But Mellon replied
hat it was unwise to count on certain
continuance of prosperity, declaring if
here was an diminution it would wipe f.
yut the surplus and might necessitate
