PICK BREEDER LAMBS.

Breeding, form, quality, vigor.
condition, uniformity, sex, and
fleece-all these are factors to be
considered in selecting feeder
lambs, says Phil A. Anderson Of
the animal husbandry division of
the University of Minnesota.
Breeding: While large proper
ton of the feeder lambs offered are
of Merino or fine wool breeding
and are known to the trade as
white faced, many black faced
lambs have been available in re-
cent years. Mr.. Anderson gives
the whites" credit for being more
hardy. while the ssblacks" are larg-
err and of superior mutton form,
but says either will do when well
managed.
Form: The feeder lamb should
be deep-bodied, wide backed, close
ly coupled, and short-legged. Ran
gy, shallow, and narrow lambs are
poor feeders.
Quality: The feeder lamb must
possess quality to be an economic
al feeder and a good seller. Rough,
coarse lambs are poor performer
Beware of large heads, heavy
bones, and rough form or large
joints, for they will never make
prime market lambs.

Bars Catching Frogs TO
Save Them from Extinction
Governor Christianson Issues Dras-
tic Ruling-0rder Expires De-
cember Thirty-6rst

By a drastic order that even
prohibits the catching of frogs for
bait purposes for the rest of the
year, Governor Christianson today
placed the strength of the state
behind the effort to save the rap
idly dwindling frog supply.
The only exception to the ruling
forbidding the capture of frogs is
that which permits them to be us
ed for scientific purposes.
Commercial taking and illicit
shipment Of frogs. to Chicago and
eastern markets in ton and larger
quantities has brought the frog
population Of the state alarningly
low, it is charged by investigators.
It is in an attempt to save the
frogs from near-extinction that
the new order was issued.
It has been against the law of the
state to ship the amphibians out of
the state but the law merely de-
veloped new type Of bootleg
ger" it is charged.
Frogs would be collected at some
central point and when a large
enough quantity had been provid-
ed would be shipped by truck in
to North Dakota or Wisconsin and
there shipped by rail.
It is explained that the new ord
er would not affect fishermen ser
iously as the order is effective only
until December 81 and little frog
fishing is being done from now un-
til that date.

ZEPPELIN PLANS TO
HEAD FOR U. S.
Giant German Dirigible Ready
to Start Epoch Making
Flight Over Sea
TO CARRY 70 PERSONS
Crew Alone Numbers 40
Bags Have 100000 Cubic
Feet of Hydrogen

Fried1ichshaffen, Germany, Oct.
9.-The Graf Zeppelin, largest di-
rigible ever built, was filled with
fuel and gas today and awaited on
ly weather report before starting
on a flight to the United States.
DR.. Hugo Eckener, designer of
the ship, was anxious to start to-
morrow morning, despite somewhat
unfavorable weather reports over
the Atlantic.
He awaited the late weather re-
ports today before deciding defin-
itely to start in the morning or
wait another day.
The list of passengers will not be
made public until tonight. 1t will
include two or three Americans,
German officials and other guests,
besides the iirigible's officers and
crew of about 40. Probably about
70 persons in all will make the
trip.
The lifting bags inside the ITO
foot envelope were filed with
more than 100000 cubic feet of
hydrogen to provide the ship with
the necessary buoyancy. The fuel
bags held half that amount of
"blue gas" fuel for motive power.
The Zeppelin has five motor gen
dolas, each equipped with a r.
cylinder, $50 horse power motor.
All food supplies, baggage and
mail had been placed aboard the
Zeppelin, with the weight carefully
distributed to maintain the ships
balance. Provisions were made
for carrying SO tons of mail.
With everything aboard, the
ship will weigh more than ESQ. 600
pounds. It. is capable of making
more than 70 miles an hour. and
DIR. Eckener hopes to reach Amer
lea in about ~ hours. -,'sss
The length of the voyage may
be as much as 1000 miles, depend
ing on the route chosen. DIR. Ecke-
ner intends to take a route along
the Sarre basin and through nor
thern France to the Bay of Biscay.
There he will decide whether to
take a direct northern route, or to
swing south by way of the Azores.

All Absentees Can and
Should Vote MOB. 9th
Law Gives Citizen Away From
Home Opportunity to Use
Right of Suffrage

Absent voters should bear in
mind that in order to be able to
vote by mail they must secure an
application blank for absent vot-
er's ballots before they can secure
such ballots, and that such applica-
ton must be duly acknowledged
before a notary public and then
sent to the county auditor of their
home county before absent voters
ballots will be sent to them. The
final ballot must be in the hands
of the county auditor in time to
enable him to deliver such ballot
to the home precinct election board
on election day. E..
In other words, those who wish
to vote by mail in the coming cleo
ton should lose no time in making
application to the county auditor
for an absent voters application
for ballots and when this is secur-
ed and properly filled out, it should
be promptly sent with the fee of
35 cents to cover postage and
printing! to the county auditor,
who will in turn see that the ap-
picant gets the ballots just as
soon as they are available. The
voted ballots should then be mail
ed back to the county auditor in
advance of election day, when en-
velopes containing such ballots
will be delivered to the proper
board.
It is highly important that these
requirements are clearly under
stood at this time, especially in
instances where the absentees are
residing in more or less distant
states, for the time in this case,
like many others is a highly i'm.
portant element. -.
Sank Centre voters who are go.
ing to be absent on election day
can secure the necessary applica-
ton and ballots from County Aud.
iitor Nick Thomey, St. Cloud, by
making application now.

WIN. F. SCHILLING
TO SPEAK IN CITY
Prominent Dairyman, Well
Known to Western Stearns
Farmers
TO DISCUSS THE TARIFF
Every Farmer Should Hear
the Practical Message of
This Agriculturist

A meeting of great Importance
to the farmers of Minnesota, par
ticularly those in the dairy region.
has been arranged by the Republi.
can State committee to be held in
Sank Centre Wednesday evening,
Oct. II, at 500 o'clock.
Hon. Williams F. Schilling, of
Mortified, president of the Twin
City Milk Producers Association,
and one of the foremost actual
dairymen in the state, will be the
speaker.
The gentleman is one of the
staunchest and most effective sup
porters of the farmers co-opera-
tive movement in the Northwest.
He has but recently returned from
an extensive trip to Europe made
for the purpose of getting first
hand information relative to the
dairy industry, particularly in Ger
many, Britain, Denmark and Hol-
land.
Mr.. Schilling is we'll known to
the. patrons of the Sank Lake Co.
Operative Creamery and other
craemeries in Western Stearns and
has on several occasions been call
ed to deliver addresses at the an
nual meetings of the Associations.
Mr., Schilling is an ardent sup
iporter of the / candidacy of Her
bert Hoover and the entire Re-
publican ticket in this campaign.
In former years the gentleman
has had a practical message of inn
portance to the dairy farmers of
this section. In his Wednesday
evenings address he will very likely
compare the difference of the
stand of the Republicans and
Democrats on the tariff issue as in
dorsei by Gov. Smith, laying spec
ial stress upon the duty on dairy
products which was 21a cents per
pound under the Democratic tariff
bill passed in 1913. The Fordney-
McCumber bill passed by the Re-
lpublicans in 1922 raised the tariff
on dairy products to eight cents
per pound, and this was increased
to IL cents per pound by order of
President Coolidge over a year
ago. This difference in tariff
truly reflects the difference in
price the dairy farmer of Stearns
county receives for his butterfat
today over what he would receive
| if the present tariff was not in eff
feet. - $....t:s.. ...
War came on very soon after
the Underwood tariff law, was en-
acted and the farmers did not suf-
fer. At the close ofsthe war a Re-
publican congress passed an emer-
gency tariff bill increasing duties
ion farm products but the measure
was vetoed by President Wilson.
The place of Mr.. Schilling's
meeting has not been arranged by
the Republican County Central
committee as yet. Posters adver-
Using the meeting will be circu-
lated announcing the place Of hold
ing the meeting.

Laid Ten Gusge Shotgun on Boat
Floor; Gun is Cooked; One Bar
T. rel Discharges =

Sank Rapids, Oct. S.-Albert
Kardash, aged II, the son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Kardash, of Sank
Rapids, was fatally wounded by a
charge from a ten-gauge shotgun
yesterday morning while on hunt
ing party with several other boys
from Sank Rapids at Schindler's
lake, sometimes called Becker's
pond, about four miles north of

The lad had laid the heavy, old
fashioned shotgun on the bottom of
the boat with the barrel resting on
the seat, pointing upward and had
left the gun cooked. 1t was about
9:15 a. M, and the boy got out Of
the boat to pull it ashore, the
morning hunting concluded.
As he jerked the boat one barrel
of the gun discharged and the shot
struck him on the left side in the
abdominal regions. His COM
panion essayed first aid while some
ran over a mile to obtain help. A
farmers car was obtained and the
lad was rushed to the st. Cloud
hospital, where it was soon discov-
cred that vital parts had been
pierced by the shot in addition to
the terrific loss of blood. Z.
The lad arrived at the hospital at

scious at times until 2:34 a. m. No

chance was held for his recovery
at any time. but physicians battled
for hours to save the youth. A
physician accompanied the lad from
Foley to the hospital.
The other boys in the group
were Erwin Blattner, Laurence and
Gerald Schoumakers, and Richard
Kardash, a brother of the accident
victim, all of Sank Rapids. He is
survived by his parents, five broth
ers and two sisters. Funeral SER
vices will be held Wednesday morn
ing from the Sacred Heart church
