Unless England consents to come to . full and hon

viii be a war between the United States ard Great

This is Q dreadful thing TO contemplate. but only q

cscntualIty. The sane naval race which lea England
and Germany into tic war of 1911 has now begun Be-
tween England and the United states. Unless stopped
a. once nothing but war can stop it,
The United States should ratily the peace pact with
cut delay, and whether II passes the cruiser bill or
not, i should proceed AZ once q negotiate FOR another
conference with England and with other naval powers
for concerted disarmament.

England has already thwarted one major attempt
made by the United States to limit naval armament.

FEBRUARY Is LAST DAY
TO GET AUTO. TAGS

Applications for 1929 auto licenses
are coming in slowly, according to re-
ports from the State Capitol. That
an extension will be granted is not
likely to happen, is indicated by past
records. In 1923 an extension was
granted, but in 1925 and 1927 time ex-
tensions were refused, and car owners
who waited for an extension got their
applications in late and had to pay d
penalty.
With the demand for more road
funds to meet the demands of heavier
traffic reduction of rates is not like
ly to be put through. If the rate is
either increased or decreased, the
change will not take effect until
January 1, 1880. =
The last day for making applica-
tions without paying penalty is Feb.
Is, but those who wait until the last
week usually have long wait stand
ing in line, if they make personal ap-
plication. If application is made by
mail, and the amount of money en-
closed is too small, or if the applica-
ton is not complete, this starts cor
respondence which may run beyond
Feb. Is and pile up penalties.
February Is will soon be here, and
those who want to be safe are ad-
vised to get their applications in soon.
In towns where the Secretary of State
has no deputy, banks and garages
have application blanks.

LEGISLATORS ARE MAKING
A SLOW START, SAYS WRITER
CONTINUED from first page)

CONTINUED from first page)
on the highway question.
Our old friend, the Loan Shark
Bill, is back again. At every session
for about ten years he has demanded
a place on our statute books, but has
been given the cold shoulder. The
Russell Sage Foundation is behind the
bill, which has been enacted into law
in several states. 1t seeks to put out
of business the "loan sharks" who
advance money to persons that are
hard up, in small amounts and at ex-
orbitant interest rates-running up
to 400 per cent, in a few instances. 1t
legalizes an interest rate Of three and
half per cent per month and pro-
vides for severe penalties in case a
higher rate is charged. Loans under
$500 are the only ones affected. Coun-
try members view the bill with
suspicion, fearing that to legalize an
interest rate of AZ per cent per annum
is risky business.
Another old friend is missing, how
ever. That's the "Cornfield Philosoph-
err" of Spicer, Mimi, who has covered
the last five sessions for Farmer
Labor weeklies in the state. Excluded
from the reporters table, he sat hour
after hour in the house and senate
galleries watching the deeds and mis-
deeds of the Solons and writing down
his observations" in clear, pointed
language. For over fifty years he has
watched lawmakers in this state and
elsewhere. Now he is too old to be
here and guess he found it harder
and harder to make ends meet. He is
a unique character and will not soon
be forgotten.
Both branches are now fully organ
lied, with the same old members at
the head Of the most important COM
mittees. In the senate A. j.. Rockne
of Zumbrota heads the finance COM
mittee; j. D. Sullivan of st. Cloud,
general legislation; George Turnham
of Long Lake, game and fish; F. H.
Putnam of Blue Earth, the judiciary;
C. Rosenmeier of Little Falls, rules;
H. H. Bonniwell of HUTCHINSON, mar
kets and marketing; c. E. Adams of
Duluth, public highways; G. H. Sulli-
van, taxes and tax laws; L. P. john
son of Ivanhoe, elections; F. c.
Ahrens of Jordan, dairy products and
livestock. In the house, Frank H.
Hitchcock of Virginia heads the ap-
preparations committee; o. K. Dahle
of Spring Grove, civil administration;
Guy billy of St. Paul, general legis-
lation; w. I. Norton of Minneapolis,
rules; o. A. Swenson of Nicollet, pub
lie highways; Roy Dunn of Pelican
Rapids, market and marketing; 0. c.
Neuman of Wheaton, taxes and tax
laws.
No bills have yet been passed, ex-
cept one, which is always first-ap-
propriating money to pay salaries OF
members of the legislature and en-
ployees. A resolution was put through
early in the week, under suspension OF
the rules, protesting against the pass
age of bill in congress which would
prohibit the state prison Irvine ano
farm machinery plant from shipping
it's products outside of Minnesota
bill in the interest of Irvine and farm
machinery factories owned by private
capital. Some of the twin city mem
bers voted against the resolution.

SPRINGFIELD OIL co.
FILLING STATION AFIRE

Fire originating from the electric
wiring, damaged the filling station of
the Springfield Oil company at eleven
o'clock Sunday morning. Most of
the blaze was in the attic, damaging
the roof rafters considerably as well
as doing some damage to the walls in
the heater room where the fire orr
ginated. The fire company extin-
guished the fire with the use of the
chemical apparatus. A stiff wind
was blowing at the time, which gave
the fire a fair start and smoke en-
erged from beneath the caves on all
sides.-Springfield Advance Press.

MUST BUY FILTER

Slayton has been having trouble
with the pipe lines of its city water
plant, the lines gradually filling with
a black deposit, while in the homes
many persons have found it necessary
to lay new pipe and repair their
meters. Recently the Pittsburgh
Meter Co., made the discovery that
the trouble was caused by mangan-
csc, the first that has been found in
this section, and at Slayton in quanti-
ties greater than in any other city.
Slayton will now find it necessary to
purchase water filter to take care
of the manganese and this will cost
approximately $4,000.

LOSE SIGHT, BOTH EYES

c. Crabtree of Madelia had a mar
row escape from death on Monday
of last week, but the incident will
probably still cost him his eyesight
Mr.. Crabtree was using molten bah
bit in some repair work in his shop
and in some manner moisture came
into contact with the liquid and caused
an explosion. The babbit was thrown
into his eyes and covered one side of
his face, and it was necessary to rush
the unfortunate man to the hospital
at Mankato. 1t is feared that he will
lose the sight of both eyes.

BALL PLAYERS AT
FAIRFAX ENJOY BANQUET

The members of the Fairfax Toma-
hawk League team and the Fairfax
Whiz Bang team held banquet at
the Hotel Ryan in that village Satur-
day evening. President H. C. Sher-
wood of the league team officiated as
POSTMASTER and called upon several
of the guests for short talks.
The banquet has been an annual af-
fair at Fairfax and has usually been
held on New Years eve. This year,
however, the matter had been passed
up until last week when two of the
members got busy and aroused
enough enthusiasm to promote the
event. About 25 players and citizens
were present for the banquet.
