Smith Gets 81 Per Word
for Stories in Paper
Total Earnings Expected to Be
$148,88O During Months of July
and August

New York, July 25-Alfred E.
Smith, defeated democratic nomi-
nee for president has turned au-
thor, at 50 word. For a series of
Saturday Evening Post articles en-
titled up to Now" the first one
appearing this week, he has been
paid 50 a word, said to be the
highest price ever paid for writers
of such length.
The first article, running about
$500 words, including "if," "and,"
but, the and "a" netted the for
mer governor of New York state
approximately $18,600.
Smith has submitted and re-
ceived cash for manuscripts suffi-
cient to make five to seven more
articles. Smiths income from
them is estimated at about $148,-
800, or within 1900 of the total
salary President Hoover will re-
ceive for the first half of his four
year presidential term.
Smith is believed likely to exceed
the primary earnings of Calvin
Coolidge, who contracted to write
for three magazines when he left
the presidency.

Tax Judgments Have Been
Entered by Clerk Of Court
Personal Property Payments Will
Be Enforced Coming Year
Property Will Be Seized

Personal property tax judgment
citation against 116 persons are
being entered today by Clerk of
Court John L. Dominik against
those who remain delinquent in
the matter of personal property
taxes and the limit of delinquency
costs has now been reached.
Under present law the $500 ex-
emption from judgment does not
work and the unpaid tax becomes
lien against the property upon
which it is assessed and except in a
few cases where the parties have
removed all possessions from the
state the property will be seized
and sold at public auction to realize
the money. 49,,
The costs of sale are all that can
be avoided now by personal prop
|erty tax delinquents. Until a year
ago people could neglect their per-
sonal property tax with impunity.
The list of delinquents is less than
that of last year when several de-
linquents of years standing were
forced to pay up and also pay pen
alties. These names are missing
from the delinquent list for the
first time in years.

POSSIBILITIES ARE WIDE
Federal Farm Board Wants to
Aid the CO-Ops to Help
Themselves

st. Paul, July 80 = Governor
Christensen late Monday con-
ferred with the general managers
of the Minnesota and South -Da-
kota Wheat Growers associations,
who are working rapidly to make
effective for this falls crop the
marketing principles of the feder-
al farm board.
c. w. Croes, of Aberdeen, man
ager of the South Dakota Wheat
Growers association, and G. w.
ConnelI, general manager and Sec
rotary of the Minnesota Wheat
Growers, Cooperative Marketing
association, together with Hugh
j. Hughes, a member of the latter
groups executive staff, paid the
call.
Mr.. Croes is being widely men
toned as the representative of the
grain growing industry to be select
ed by President Hoover as mem
Der of the federal farm board, and
this candidacy was in part dis,
cussed with the governor. No
statement regarding it was made
by either the chief executive or the
visitors. Mr.. Croes said that he
realizes that he is being considered
candidate but that heis making
no campaign for the appointment
and is willing to let events take
their course"
Both Mr.. Croes and Mr.. Connell
are optimistic in respect to the
possibilities opened by the federal
boards suggestion for organizing
q vast grain marketing co-opera-
tive organization. A large power
full organization strong enough to
control the marketing of grains
will give the northwest farmer a
method equal to the Canadian
wheat pool, they said.
you can understand the value
of such an organization when you
consider what would. be done If the
United States, Canada and Aus
tralian pool organizations stood to-
gether when efforts were startedto
send the price of wheat below the
cost Of production" Mr.. Croes said.
We have applied the pool prin-
ciple in South Dakota, Minnesota
and other states through our grow
ers' organizations, but they have
not been on sufficiently large
scale to control the market.
IF the many small units, such
as the elevator associations scat
tered all through the grain grow
ing sections of the nation, and the
larger state organizations, come to-
gether into the boards proposed
national organization something
really worthwhile will have been
accomplished. 1t will then be COM
parable to the Canadian pool and
the success of that organization is
well established"
Mr.. Connell likewise said he was
impressed with the results which
the new proposal will bring if car
ried out.

The old ferryboat plying daily
across the river from Clearwater to
the east shore, at point a few
miles from Clear Lake, has been
