TILE DRAINAGE COSTS
ANALYZED in BULLETIN

Much information as to the cost
of tile drainage is given in new
bulletin prepared by H. B. Roe of
the agricultural engineering division
at University Farm and published
by the Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton. Data gathered in Investigations
carried on from 1908 to 1921 at var
ious points in the state have been
collected and systematized and can
be used to advantage in making pre-
liminary estimates of the cost of
farm drainage. The bulletin is of
value to engineers who are planning
or installing farm drainage, to man.
ayers of large farms, and to tech
rical men. 1t will be furnished with
out cost to those making request of

By STAFFORD KING

Minnesota Legion Membership Director
l have son. I want him strong
limbed, clear eyed, clean minded. I
know the stately pine can teach him
dignity, the white birch modesty, the
cedar patience. 1 know the purling
spring, the sky clear lake, the foam
ing rapids, will make him clean
bodied and clean souled.
l know the rocky portage, the bulky
pack-sack, the cedar paddle, will build
him strong muscled and strong mind
ed. l know the fly-rod and the gun,
the snowshoe and the ski, will build
him alert and honest, sportsman
in its truest sense.
1 know that the great University
of Outdoors builds far beyond the
teachings of mere man, and that this
son of mine is safe in such school
of life. The American Legion, firm in
it's stand for conservation, is saving
outdoor Minnesota for my son.

LONGER TERMS

Heretofore town clerks have been
elected for a term of only one year
but in the 1927 session of the state
Legislature it was changed so that
town clerks are hereafter to be elect
ed for term of two years, commence
ing with the spring election in 1928.
Town treasurers will also be elected
for a term of two years but that does
not take effect until in the spring
election of 1929. The new law desig-
urers of townships is chapter 251. 1t
is well for town officers to observe
this change in the law and have their
election ballots printed accordingly.

WHY THEY ARE CAUTIOUS
(Montevideo News)

Some northern Minnesota counties
face bankruptcy because they issued
millions of dollars worth of bonds
some years ago to dig bitches and
drain lands. This enormous debt was
loaded onto the people of those coun-
ties because of the belief that in
creased benefits would more than pay
for increased costs in interest and
principal of the bonds.
There was plenty of propaganda
some years back to prove that drain
age bitches were to be the royal route
down which the Minnesota farmer

Law Enforcement Exhibition.

On the way to the golf links yester-
day, large crowd was seen off the
roadway on a grass field to the right.
1t looked as though holiday thronS
had gathered for Sunday afternoon
base ball game. Inquiry brought the
information that the claw
had seized some gambling devices in
an aristOcratic club on the Little
Rock highway and that full truck
lead had just been brought to the
field and that they were to be Of
fered up as a sacrifice on the law en-
forcement pyre. This was an unusu-
al procedure, it seemed to me, and
one that must not be overlooked.
In the Jam.
1t was with difficulty that one edged
his way by crOwding and pushing
through the gathering to a position
near enough the truck to see or catch
a glimpse of the paraphernalia so in
tent were the people to see what was
going on. At least a hundred cars
were parked on the field and prob
ably four hundred people were there.
1t was supposed to be a quiet, Ordi-
nary occasion with the law function
ing on all cylinders. How the people
came to know about the constable
on this Sunday afternoon exercising
this mandatory duty of office, | shall
never know, but | suspect some of the
religious organizations were and haG
interested themselves and had ar
ranged for this public demonstration
OF the majesty of the law in Arkansas.
At all events, everyone was there who
knew about it and could get there and
others, who like myself happened in.
Gambling Devices.
The gambling devices had been
dumped off the truck onto the ground,
and appeared to be fine specimens of
| suspect that in their
mechanical operations they were un-
failing in protecting the bank or
the organization operating them
against all who placed their money
and sought to win. At least, that is
the cunning way of all gambling de-
vices.
While the crowd gazed with wonder
and awe, two ministers mounted the
truck, one stepping forward and with
a brief salutatory of well chosen
words said, that he had been re-
quested by the constable to say that
this was not a public demonstration
to glory over someone's misfortune to
lose his property, but a fulfillment
of the law as prescribed by the sta
tutes of Arkansas. Then he went On
to state that whenever a constable,
sheriff, deputy, or other peace officer
found such gambling devices, he
should forthwith seize and destroy
them" He further stated that depu-
ties of the county had on two other
occasions visited the club where these
gambling devices had been found and
could find nothing and so made their
reports to the sheriffs office. Then
came this constable, armed with au-
tnority from the Justice of the Peace,
the constable from the ordinary
walks of life and with ordinary Wis
ion, but he could see where others
could not and this pile represents
what he saw" The crowd was asked
to hold up their hands, all those who
believed the constable did right and
of his action, and scarcely
A hand remained down. Then the
second minister offered a prayer, the
poured on crude oil, lighted
it with a match and the mechanical

LITTLE JOURNEYS
HERE AND THERE
By J. A. WYE

product of an artist went up in smoke.
The South likes demonstrations and
the spectacular.
Something of Farming.
On our twenty-five miles journey
to the Three Sisters springs, some
farm homes were passed, few stops
were made and general outlook
had of rural Arkansas tributary to
the Hot Springs. All the while we
were in the Ozarks mountains with
ravines and valleys not wide enough
to give a respectable aspect to farms
of any sized Importance. The first
place we stopped at was that of an
aged cOlored lady who had about ten
acres of land, no live, stock excepting
an old white horse-no cows, no
chickens, apparently nothing to farm
with. Her house was quite rOomy
but of an old degenerate type that
would have been considered unfit for
habitation in our northern climate,
but she lived there and somehow
made a living. Asked how she lived,
replied: 81 RACES little early garden
does some washing" Like most of
these old colored ladies, she had a
marked respect for the bible and it's
literal Interpretation. 81 doesn't like
to hear nobody say nothing against
nobody for the Lord made us all and
in his own image, and when youse
talks against folks or criticizes folks
youse talking against the Lord. She
knew certain passages of the Bible
well and could quote them with ease,
Her interpretations may be orthodox
but hardly sound and | suspect her
knowledge of the Bible like that of
most of us is not very widespread
Still, many white person would do
we'll to take, heed of her ability to
quote exactly few passages from the
Book of all Books
Here she was, far out from the city
on little piece of land all alone do
ing her bit as a good citizen and
eking out living as best she could
A Good Farmer.
Another stop was made at a more
pretentious farmstead where lived a
white man with his wife and little
son. The valley was wider here and
there was room enough for an eighty
acre farm on the level. The soil
was sandy, rocky, and of such ma
ture that we would term it light, but
the grinding of rock substances
through glacial attrition does won
ders for soil fertilization and this
farm was capable of producing well
under wise handling. Eighty acres
of Land, a good house costing at least
$4,000, good outbuildings, little ma
chinery, pigs, chickens and cattle and
horses all betokened work, care, and
thrift and so this farmer was doing
well on land which many Minnesota
farmers would scott at Asked how
it came about that he was succeeding
when so many about him were very
poor and barely making enough to
live upon, he replied: "a man must
work to succeed here and he must
stay at home and not be running to
town all the time" And then
thought that anyone who really learns
to work acquires with it the habit of
thinking and as time goes on his
thinking becomes more and more cor
rect until he masters the art of guild
ing his actions by wise thought. This
is what this farmer evidently had
done and in large measure was re-
sponsible for his success.
