SOMEBODY'S sWEETIE, ALL RIGHT

AS every newspaper man knows the bride gets
all the best of in the wedding story. And no one
doubts that she deserves it. Sometimes reporter
gets wrapped up in the subject that absolutely
nothing is left unsaid. In the description repro
duced below, writer unknown it is doubtful if any
except the bridegroom would recognize the per-
son described:
"The bride is a woman of wonderful fascination
and remarkable attractiveness, for, with
enchanting the wand Of siren and disposition
sweet as the odors of flowers, and spirit JOY
the caroling of birds, and q mind brilliant
the gtering tresses that adorn the brow of wint
er, and with heart as pure as the dewdrops tremb-
ling in coronet of violets, she will make the home
of her husband paradise of erchantment where
the heaven-tuned harps of Hymen shall send forth
those sweet strains of felicity that thrill the
with the ecstatic pulsing of rhythmic rapture

YOUTH is QUESTIONED
Duluth NewS-Tribune)

Duluth News-Tribune)
Where will you be five years from now?
What will be your mental outlook upon life at
that time?
What will be your habits? What your associates?
What will be your physical and financial status?
What your religious and mental standards?
1t is sure what you doing now will point
almost exactly to the answer of each of these ques-
tions.
Few men and women are able to make sweeping
revisions in their modes of living overnight.
Most changes come in a gradual way. What man
stop hundred bad habits in one day and begin
a hundred good ones the next?
It isn't done that way. Life is constant
change, with everything being done by easy stages.
The paths you treading today will become broad
and easier to followno matter in which direction
they are leading.
Try to elevate yourself little each day. Save a
little money each week, deposit carefully invest
wisely and you will be surprised at the growth in
five years.
Spend your money and time fooshly, and asso-
cite with wrong companions, in five years you prob
ably will be liability to your community and dis
grace to your family

SOME THINGS HOOVER CAN'T BE
BLAMED FOR

Fred E. Hadley, former Minnesota newspaper
man, has discovered that there at least few
things Hoover cant be blamed for, and he out lined
them briefly short time ago in the Fairmont Sem
tinel:
Hoover did not bring on that wild land specula-
tion following the with subsequent loss of vast
of money to spectators.
Hoover did not bring on that crazy bull market
the stock exchange where many first lost their
reason, then their of values, and then all or
most of their money.
Hoover did not bring that protracted dry
spell, with the phenomenal heat waves, causing the
pastures to dry up suffer material damage.
Hoover did not cause many families to add
second automobile to their equipment when they
should have been wearing out more shoe leather in
the first place. And don't believe Hoover is really
responsible for this modern-day plague of miniature
golf courses. Do You?

cherries which most states main
tain today has always necessitated
shipping them in tanks Of water,
officials said.
Even when this was done by
truck with the greatest possible
speed and over comparatively
short distances, they declared, a
large percentage Of the fish died
enroute. The rest were often SO
weakened their growth was slow.
When life-sustaining oxygen had
been breathed from the water the
fish literally suffocated in their
own element.
Today several states have al
ready installed one of the newest
things in conservation equipment
to prevent this loss, reports reveal.
This is a tank truck provided
with an oxygen-feed similar to
that of a pulmotor. The apparatus
sends oxygen into the tanks as fast
as the fish breathe it from the
water. The supply is controlled by
the driver in accordance with the
number of fish, their size and even
the species.

buted 100000 lingering trout

A FREE AID FOR MILK
Duluth News-Tribune

Thomas A. Edison inventor and philosopher at
SO is talking walking advertisement for the dairy
industry. He recently gave unqualified indorse-
n.ent to milk as article of food that might well
be used as basis of advertising by northwest dairy
"The Almighty knew His business when He ap-
portioned milk. He is the best chemist we have.
I'm experimenter and have tried many diets;
but I've always come back to milk. It has done
more for my health than anything else-even more
than giving up tobacco. Milk is just as fine food
for men as it is for calves"
Many manufacturer of patent foods would pay
handsomely for Endorsement like that from so
eminent authority. 1t is given free to the dairy
industry and it would pay to exploit it.
If dairymen would take advantage of their op-
portunties the purveyors of most other food pro-
ducts do there would be no surplus and slump in
price. The dairy industry should advertise.
Babies thrive milk. Happy, healthy and wise
the person who outgrows his taste for it
who INDUCES that taste. Mr. Edison keen and alert
at 49, is case in point.

TAX INCREASE IN
STATE SINCE 1870
Interesting Figures Disclosed
in Abstract Compiled by
State Auditor
HUGE VALUATION GAIN
Value of Property Increased
$1,S6O, O,473, ,406; Total
Taxes, $13O,664,OS5

That the total of all taxes levied
in Minnesota for 1929, payable this
year, exceeds the amount for 1870
by $13O,664, 4,OS5.37, is one of the in
teresting facts brought out by the
abstract of tax lists of the several
counties in the state, for the year
1929, as compiled by State Auditor
Ray P. Chase. Fifty-nine years
ago, the total taxes levied in Min
nesota amounted to only $2,618-
764.17, while the comparative fig
ures for 1929 are $132,2S3 ,S49.54.
The total value of all taxable
property in this state was $S7, 49,
257 in 1870, and has steadily in
creased, during the succeeding
years until, for 1929, the grand
total of $1,947, 7,652, 1858 was reached
"a gain of $1,s6O,473, ,4O6. The
year 1907 marked the reaching of
the billion dollar mark in tax val
uation, while in 1920 and 1921 the
valuation exceeded the billion
dollars.
In 1870, the average rate of tax
alton in Minnesota was 30 mills,
dropping sharply to 1920 mills,
the following year, which still is
the lowest in the states history.
The 1870 figure was not again
reached until 1913, when the rate
was 33.40 mills. During the past
SO years, the average tax rate has
more than doubled, the amount for
1929 being $3.50 mills. The great
est annual Increase in the average
tax rate was from 1886 mills in
1913 to 54.63 mills in 1919.
The number of acres of land, ex-
elusive of town lots, assessed for
taxation purposes in 1870, was TO-
536, ,921, as against 1886, ,364.31 in
1928, and 46,372, ,373.O3 in 1929. The
value of this land tother than town
lots), including the structures
thereon, was $46,23e, 1913 in 1870,
and increased to $1,O11, ,3S8,757 in
1928 dropping to $1,OO5, ,674, ,702 last
year. The average value per acre,
listed at $4.39 in 1870, jumped to
$21.83 in 1928, and decreased to
$21.67 in 1929.
During the period, 187O-1929, the
value of town and city lots, includ-
ing structures thereon, increased
from $20,985,155 to $7O9, 49, ,45s.
In that time the value of taxable
personal property both on the
farms and in the cities and villag-
es, rose from $685., 300 to $685.
259,503. The total value of all
property, both real and personal,
in Minnesota, which was listed at
$36, 753, ,408 in 1860, more than
doubled during the next decade,
aggregating $87,179,257 in 1870.
The peak was reached in 1928,
when it amounted to $2,O84, ,2S6, ,979.
Since that time, the total value has
gradually gone down, standing at
81, ,939, ,997,170 in 1928, and at ST.
947, ,652, 1858 last year.
The highest amount of taxes lev
led in Minnesota, for state purpos-
es, since 1860 when it amounted
to $147,01363, was $15,S72, ,73O.53,
in 1928. The lowest it has been,
since the latter year, was $10,415,-

The Red Menace

Forest fires destroy about $780,
100000 worth of timber in the Un-
tied States every year. Last year
the federal government spent $3,-
100000 to fight fires on National
Forests, and the amount expended
in helping the states, added to their
appropriations, totals several times
this figure.
The real trouble is not with all
too meager appropriations. It lies
with the people themselves. Fully
ninety percent Of the forest fires
are man-made; through criminal
carelessness we burn up our timber.

GAS TAX REFUNDS GROW

Gasoline tax refunds in Mime
sofa are increasing slowly but
steadily, according to a highway
bulletin. An analysis of the gas tax
reports shows that in 1926, $40 per
cent of the gross receipts were re-
funded; in 1927, COS per cent; in
1928, TIA per cent; in 1929, 7.67
per cent, and for the first nine
months in 1880, 7.s4 per cent.
A classification of claims shows
that IS per cent of the refunds go
to agriculture, per cent to avia-
tion, 2.5 per cent to dry cleaners,
12.1 to industrial users, 81 to rail-
roads, ISL to road construction, Oh
