THERE'S MORE TO 1T THAN A
SECRETARYSHIP
(The Montevideo American.)

(The MOntevideO American.)
Minneapolis newspapers proudly
carry the story of Congressman Wal
ter f. NewtOn's appointment by Pres
ident Hoover to a prominent post
in the national government 1t ap-
pears that Newton, pet of the grain
interests, is to be Hoover's third Sec
rotary. his duties consisting chiefly in
contact work with the congress.
Why Newton would resign his $1O,-
600 year job as representative from
the fifth Minnesota district for mere
secretaryship at no increase in salary
puzzles many political dopesters, but
perhaps the answer is not hard to
find.
AS one of the prominent Hoover
men long before it was popular to
be such in Minnesota excepting Hen
nepin county,, Newton played a con-
spicuOus part in the Hoover election,
presiding as director of the national
speakers bureau during the campaign.
1t was generally thought that his
faithfulness would be rewarded, but
most guesses went higher than a post
as third secretary to the president, the
venturesome even insisting that New
ton was slated for a cabinet port
folio.
But owing to the Minneapolis rep
resentative's solid footing at home and
his consequent influence in the con-
gress, it is pointed out by the init
ated. the President has especial use
for the Newton talents in the further
ance of his program of consolidation
of governmental departments in Wash
ingtOn with the result that the only
representative in the Minnesota dele
cation who voted against the McNary-
Haugen bill-which is a gilt-edged
recommendation in the eyes of Hoover
is gently taken from his congress

YOU SHOULD BREAK THEM!

The Prairie Lumberman contained
an article as compilation of "Ten
Commandments of the Mail Order
House." and The essence of the same
is strikingly true. Although several
have not thought of this menace to
the small town merchants before in
this light, it nevertheless, brings home
as to economy and the absurdity of
patronizing the mail order concern.
Following is the clipping:
1. You shall sell your farm produce
for cash, where you can, for We buy
nothing from you.
.. You shall believe in US. and best
because we do not know you per-
sonally.
;. You shall send your money to us
in advance. so we can buy the
goods from the factory with your
money; you may have to wait few
weeks, but that is our business
method.
4. You shall get help from your near
est city or village to build good
roads, so you may easily haul our
goods from the depot. but do not ask
help from us-we don't help to
build good roads.
5. You may buy church bells and
altar utensils from us, and send the
money i'm advance-that's our rule.
6. You shall get all the help you can
from the business men in your
neighborhood; although we may
have more profit from you than
they have. it is against our rules
to give to your churches.
Z. You shall convert your neighbors
also to your faith in us, for we have
room for more money.
s. You shall look at the pretty pic
lures in our catalog as often as you
can. so as to strengthen your de-
sire for things you do not need. but
which you may order with other
goods to save freight. Send us all
your ready cash so that you may
not have any left to buy necessities
from your home dealers.
9. You shall believe in us rather
than your home business men. for
we want your trade. We get to be
millionaires on your support. Don't
be bluffed.
10. You shall call on the business
people of your own vicinity for
help and credit if you meet with
hard luck or sickness. It's your
money we want; we don't know you
unless your orders are accompanied
by cash.

FARMERS WARNED
BOU T. BUYING
'BARGAIN ALFALFA"

Farmers who have purchased or
have contemplated on purchasing the
so-called Bargain Alfalfa" should
beware of foul Seed contained therein.
The following extract comes from N.
]. Holmberg of the State Department
of Agriculture "An official test of
so-called Bargain Alfalfa seed has
been analysed by the State Seed Test
ing Laboratory and i'm accordance to
Chapter 3S7, laws of 1927, the results
of the test and other information is
here given:
1.-THE alfalfa seed was recently ship
ped by the Quincy Seed and Nursery
Company, Yankton. S. D., to Charles
Hayek, Porter, Yellow Medicine Co.,
MINI. The label showed only the
termination $50 and the purity $50.
That means that 95 pounds in each
100 pounds is alfalfa seed. The
laboratory analysis at the State Seed
Testing laboratory shows the follow
ing examinations: $40 plus hard
seeds, purity 91.5; per cent of weed
seed, 3.75, including approximately
$50 dodder seeds per pound of alfalfa.
This would mean 10000 or more dod-
der per acre, or one dOdder seed to
each three or four square feet. There
were also 2.75% of other crop seed,
including 2.25%o sweet clover seeds
which sell for 10 cents per pound or
less. That is not the whole story

CONCENTRATING THE CHAMPION
Duluth News Tribune)

Congratulations are due to Andrew
Dahlman, formerly a carpenter of Du-
luth, now living on fine dairy farm
which he owns near Barnum, and who
has qualified as the grand champion
dairyman of the Cloverland district of
the three states of Minnesota, Wis
consin, and Michigan.
1T has taken Mr.. Dahlman 10 years
to achieve this success. When he
left the city to engage in farming, he
had no experience in agriculture and
progress was slow. But the oppor-
tunity was there and he persevered.
With the aid and advice of the Cow
Testing association of Carlton county,
he built up his herd He learned i'm
proved methods Of feeding and care
of stock, and now he has a fine farm
with modern buildings and equipment,
flock of chickens and good poultry
houses, and dairy herd that makes
money the year around.
Mr.. Dahlman's success is worthy
of note. From an inexperienced city
dweller to champion dairyman in a
region that abOunds in pure bred
stock and fine dairy farms, in the
space of ten years, is an achievement
to be proud of.
1t proves what can be done in this
region, and also points out the value
of Cow Testing associations and other
agencies that help the farmer and the
dairyman with practical advice and
expert assistance.
Andrew Dahlman and his family
are now in comfortable circumstances
and are happy and contented. They
are doing work that they enjoy, and
that pays them returns commensurate
with the effort put into it and the
attention they give to it. Life has
taken on brighter aspect since they
have made success of the business
they have elected to follow.

seeds sold into Minnesota and several
tests of samples taken at various
points have tested approximately as
above quoted"
Some concerns offer seed at very
low prices. In many cases this seed
is of inferior quality Therefore, we
would advise farmers to consult their

best seed available. AS a rule the
best seed is the cheapest In buying
