Spanish Family Would
Purchase Minnesota Farm
Inquiry Received from Man Across
the Seas Who Has $1,000
to Invest a.

Among communications received
by the Ten Thousand Lakes-G
er Minnesota Association concern
ing farming opportunities is one
one from H. D. Scott, of Santana
err, Spain who intends to move to
the United States and engage in
farming here. p
In a recent letter to the associa-
ton Mr.. Scott said that he had
about $1,000 to invest and that he
intended to. visit the United States
during the coming fall at which
time he would like to see what
Minnesota has to offer in farms.
Inquiries are continuing to flow
into the offices of the association
from all parts of the nation. Some
persons making inquiry represent
groups that would be interested in
establishing colonies somewhere in
Minnesota. Some are individuals
looking for farms. Some would
like to rent and others have prop
erty in other states which they
would like to trade for Minnesota
property.
The returns now being received
are all attributed to the national
newspaper and magazine advertis-
ing campaign of the association.
AS the tourist season progresses it
is expected that the billboards
erected by the association at every
entrance to Minnesota over a state
highway will bring returns. The
billboards have been erected with
the idea of calling to the attention
of tourists the agricultural advant-
ages of Minnesota. It has been
the experience of those in charge
of association work that many
who come here as tourists are so
impressed by the agricultural pos
sibilities of Minnesota that they
either buy farms as an investment
or for homes. Many of the tour
lists who visit here each summer
are farmers from Iowa, Illinois,
Nebraska and other neighboring
states. Some of these are looking
for new homes for themselves or
their sons and it is this class of
tourist that the Association hopes
to interest in Minnesota lands.

Average Gasoline Tax in
States Now 3.72 Cents
Only Seven Commonwealth Have
Lower Rates Than that of
Minnesota

Eighteen states have increased
their gasoline taxes during the
past winter, either by legislative
action or by vote of the people at
the polls last November. Two
states which did not have gasoline
taxes now have them, New York
starting with 2 cents and Illinois
with 3. The average rate for the
forty-eight states is now 3.72
cents per gallon. -.
One state, South Carolina, went
over the nickel gallon rate and
collects six cents. Ten states have
the cent rate and eighteen collect
4 cents gallon, Utah's rate is 31a
cents, eleven states levy 3 cents
and only seven now collect cents
gallon.
Among the neighboring states,
Wisconsin and Missouri still re-
tain the cent rate, Iowa and
North Dakota get 3 cents, South
Dakota, Nebraska and Indiana col
lect 4 cents and Montana is in the
5 cent class.
The tax is added to the price Of
gasoline, yet the average price in
Guiding the tax is less than the
price in 1920, before the gasoline
tax was tried out in any state. In
1920 the motorist got only gasoline
today he gets both gasoline and
good roads for his money.

Has Narrow Escape from
Death by Infuriated Bull
1900 Pound -2-Year-Old Holstein
Attacks Osakis Farmer With
out Warning

Jens Christensen, well known
Osakis township farmer and stock
man, had a narrow escape from
being crushed to death by his 1900
pound two-year-old Holstein bull
at about noon Tuesday. Mr..
Christensen and Chris Way, Of
Osakis, were out in the barnyard
making preparations to erect new
hap ropes in the barn. The bull
had got loose from where he had
been staked out and Mr.. Christ
ensen went to lead him into the
barn, when the animal turned on
him and pinned him against the
drinking cup, bruising his chest
and shoulder and about the arms
and legs. Mr.. Way heard the ami
NAL believing and Mr.. Christen-
sens call for help and rushed to
his aid He let out a yell as he
opened the barn door and the bull
released his victim long enough to
allow him to escape and the ami
NAL was finally tied up. Mr..
Christensen was in town this
morning making arrangements to
have the animal shipped, although
he is pure bred and the owner had
refused $500 for him a short time
ago. The bull had never shown a
murderous disposition before but
Jens says it would have been all
up with him if Mr.. Way had not
been close at hand, as the infuriat-
ed beast was fast crushing him to
death.
Mr.. Way brought the injured man
to town and his injuries were at
tended to by DR.. Gilkinson who
found one rib torn loose and pain
full bruises about the chest and
body. 1t was narrow and fortu-
nate escape. -Osakis Review.

HOGGING THE ROAD

Auto owners are Of one mind in
the belief that the time is not far
away when it is going to be nee
essary to frame some sort of spec
ial legislation covering the opera
ton of trucks on public highways,
since there is a growing tendency
on the part of many truck owners
to "hog the road" The man OPP
Grating heavy truck is in posi-
weight that gives them the advant-
for others. They have size and
weight that gives them tie advant-
age in a collision with passeng-
er sedan or light touring car; they
can get just far enough over the
road to make passing them dan
gerous, and without fear of con-
sequence to the truck. And many
drivers of trucks realize this ad-
vantage, and actually take it.
There seems to be no relief at
present from the truck driver who
is without common courtesy or
who wants to "hog the road" be-
cause he knows his vehicle is
heavy enough to Withstand dam
age in case of collision.
Trucks are indispensable, and
modern business demands them.
But that does not prevent the pas
sage of highway laws to regulate
their operation and to protect the
drivers of lighter -Slayton

 No, he's been quite the busy little cup of tea" Mir. Underwood rejoined. From my hiding place in the closet next his room through which had a dandy peephole. could see everything he was up to in his own room, and by an ar engagement of the mirrors l could see the balcony outside. First he gave his own room thorough in spection. then he went out on the balcony, and-having been told purposely by the manager that his l room would be quiet 6, ,ne man m the next room was away for day or two-he took occasion to peer into the room, and inspect the locks of the balcony. He thought he was safe enough, little thinking of the super-sleuth who was watching him.
 A New Menace He rolled the words in bombastic fashion, struck his chest with a flourish and sent us into laughter which relieved the tension with which We had been listening to him.
 He even tested a rung or two of the fire-escape ladders which lead from one balcony to the other and finally to the roof. You can bet your last match I was glad I'd tipped off the house detective to something l thought the Kenei- los lad would try. And sure enough his next stunt was to ask the elevator boy if the roof were open to guests of the hotel, and when he was told yes, he went up there. and did goose step all over the play. paying especial attention to the section directly above the room which is registered as Mir. George Jackson's'."
 Il suppose the big idea" Dicky commented, lis to have second getaway to some other room in the hotel where another accomplice will be stationed"
 Exactly" Harry replied. "1t wouldn't be difficult for an able bodied man to shin tip the fire escape to the roof from the front. run across to the back and come down the rear fire-escape to a TOOTH in the rear. But which, He srrang iron. his chair.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FlSHBEIN Medical Association and of lily. gcia, the Health Magazine

Within the last few years, the American Dental Association has been employing a chemist to ,ana- lyze many of the mouth washes, pyorrhea cures, combinations of salts and remedies fot, pam that are distributed by dentists who receive samples from the manufacturers.
 In many instances rne c;aims made for these preparations are utterly without warrant.
 For example: a preparation guar anteed to remove mucin from the teeth is found merely 10 be an alkaline solution about as good as baking soda.
 Another preparation guaranteed to eliminate tartar was simply weak solution of hJdrochioric acid. not great scientific discovery but an absolute menace. encouraging disintegration of the tooth enamel.
 Another preparation for the re- moval of tartar was found to oe merely grit and one might as well rub his teeth with pum;ce s,one Or sandpaper.
 Iodine a preparation of ire. mendous interest, has been urged on the profession as the basis Of a pyor-hea cure and of tooth pastes, when the amount of free iodine available was not sufficien to have any effect in the mouth and when even this was so quickly converted to the iodide salt as to be without value.
 The charlatans have not been satisfied with the exploitation of such simple solutions. They have attempted to confuse the unframed dentist by combinations of minerai salts with weak antiseptics, making for these things claims fin the field of physical chemistry that to any biologist or physiologist represent the height of the ludicrous.
 A so-called synthetic saliva ex- plotted as a cure for pyorrhea by charlatan who had previously eA plotted three other pyorrhea reme- dies was found to be merely mix ture of table salt. baking soda chalk, magnesia and starch. favored with essential oil, and vaunted as the exact duplicate of the human saliva. The ferments of saliva were absent. but even were this not the case, it bas not yet been shown that saliva will cure pyorrhea.
 Ten cents worth Of tnese com mon salts put up in fancy pack ages with sufficient claims on the label bring to the exploiter the sum of s1 and guarantee to him q tremendous margin of profit.
 In the vast majority of cases. the only care needed by the mouth and teeth. outsid.. Of regular -xam,na- ton by the dentist. is an occasional washing with little salt water or with favored dentifrice. as onr prefers. Almost any of the con- mon tooth rastes. with soap as basis. are pleasant to use with toothbrush.
 On +he othe- hand. one should not be fooled into believing that either the toothpaste or dentfrr,cc- alone or both together can cure pyorrhea. Infections of the mouti, and gums are just as serious as in fections anywhere else in the body and demand competent scientific at- tention

his voice fairly rang with disgust. Then he turned his back on Tommy Tit. He had heard all he wanted to hear about Happy Jack.
 Of course. Mrs. Happy Jack Couldn't say too much in praise of Happy Jack. and, of course, the four half-grown children thought their father was wonderful. They missed no opportunity to tell him so. They followed him around lis- tening to all the nice things that other people had to say; all of which made Happy Jack more puff ed up than eyer. He liked being d hero.
