Wadena Merchants Fall for
Clever Young Woman
Police Hunting for Dame with Be
witching Smile and Cashing
Bum Checks

A young womanfi about 20 years
old, good looking, blond, slender,
weighing about 120 pounds, is want
ed by local police and at least
three Wadena business places. Last
Thursday afternoon, she cashed
two five-dollar checks, one in a
local grocery store, and the other
in one Of the drug stores, after
making small purchases, and the
checks were found out to have been
forged. Another store is minus a
coat and dress which the young
lady secured on approval.
While here she wore light tan
coat and no hat. Telephone calls
were made to towns within a rad
ius of 100 miles or more, warning
police to be on the lookout. The
young lady was accompanied by a
man and they were driving a 1929
Chevrolet coach or sedan.
The checks were purported to
have been signed by a local pastor
and the young lady represented
herself as the daughter of the new
Swedish Lutheran minister in Wa
dena, whoever he is.
Long Prairie police are said to
be DESTROYS of locating the same
young woman because of the pass
age of worthless checks in that
village. So far no trace has been
found of the couple.-Wadena Pi-
oneer Journal.

THE TARIFF BILL WIDELY CUSSED-
AND DISCUSSED

Since the lower House of Congress passed the
modified tariff bill Tuesday of last week there has
been nationwide discussion of the measure.
Only two of Minnesota's congressman voted for
the bill in spite of the fact that in history has
the tariff farm products approached the high
level of the pending bill.
The Ways and Means Committee of the House
which drafted the bill put a sizeable duty cement
and shingles. Several of the Northwest congressman
boted the bill because of these provisions claiming
that the duty real walop at the agricultursts
The Herald does not approve of the proposed
duty shingles and cement but in the last analysis
the average farmer very small amount of
either commodity in the course Of average year.
The real menace, in the mind of the Herald
editor was the tariff tackled on shoes This tariff
averages higher than the proposed tariff on hides
Mr. Average Citizen believes that the price of shoes
Is entirely too high at present and they will soar
higher the tariff rate is maintained by the United
States Senate which now has the bill for considera-
ton. Comparatively few people use any great
amount of cement or shingles while everyone wears
shoes.
paign last fall he promised to call the Congress to-
gether to revise the tariff laws relative to agricultur
al products 1t agreed that the revision should
be limited practically for the purpose of putting ag-
riculture on parity with manufactured goods
which the farmer and everyone else has to buy
The Herald doesn't believe for a minute that the
President is in accord with the features objected to
by Mr.. Average Citizen of the Northwest
Several of the Northwest congressman who yot-
ed for the House bill state they not satisfied with
it, in spite of the fact that agricultural interests have
been treated more generously than in any bill pre-
viousy passed. They will work with the Senate
comittee in an endeavor to have the tariff removed
from shingles and cement; the tariff on shoes re-
duced and the tariff lnseed oil increased be on

FLAG DAY, JUNE IA

Following the use of flags of various designs by
the several American colonies during the early
years of the Revolution, act passed by the
Continental Congress June IA, 1777, which provid-
ed as follows:
stripes of alternating red and white, and that the
union be thirteen stars, white, on blue field, rep
resenting new constellation"
In the first flag the thirteen stars arranged
in circle, and after the admission of Vermont and
Kentucky to statehood the number of stars and
stripes each increased to fifteen.
It became evident that with the admission of
states the number of additional stripes nects-
sary to represent them would make the flag unwied-
ly, in 1918 the present arrangement of thirteen
stripes representing the original colonies and star
for each state adopted.
In commemoration of the adoption of the flag by
Congress in 1777, June IA is celebrated throughout
the nation Flag Day. fitting occasion upon which
to renew allegiance to the flag and all for which it
stands.
