STAFFORD KING WILL BE NEXT
STATE AUDITOR

Practically complete official returns
from the primary of Monday, June 10, in
dictate that Stafford King, past commander
of the American Legion, department OF Min
nesota, received the Republican nomination
for state auditor by majority of approx
mately 1000 over Henry Rines, chairman of
Gov. Christiansons Big Three" and former
state treasurer.
The Herald is gratifed over Mr.. Kings
success. His nomination is not only recog-
milton of a man excellently qualified for the
position he sought, but it is the first time
that former World War veteran has been
recognized with the nomination for State
office by the Republican party in this state.
Mr. King is plenty big enough to be Gov
ernor for which the office of state auditor
will splendidly equip him.

COUNTY ASSESSORS
Benidii Sentinel


Each year new arguments for the adoption of a
county assessor plan in this state advanced but
so far despite overwhelming public sentiment no
steps taken to secure it's adoption. In
equalities in assessments apparent each
spring. requests for reductions granted but raises
exceptional, and the whole fabric of taxation is be-
ing shot full of holes
The following summary of the facts, issued in a
recent tax commission bulletin, cites several good
reasons why Minnesota should join the list of thirty
other states of the Union that have adopted the
county assessor plan:
The county assessor system would bring with it
expert knowledge in dealing with valuations it would
bring into the sphere of taxation specially quail
flied for the task, it would do more than anything
else could do to eliminate inequalities between vau-
atoms placed upon like properties in the neigh
borhood and thus help to remove the most prolific
source of dissatisfaction, namely the feeling of one
taxpayer that he is being assessed and consequently
taxed higher than his neighbor other tax
payer in the same district The attitude of every
taxpayer if may judge from the general express
sion whenever the subject of taxation is under con.
sideration, is that he is willing to pay "his share
of the tax burden, and most complaints go to the
matter of inequality of valuation and consequent in
justice in the tax imposed

OWatonna Journal-ChronicIe


A trio of judges of the United States district
court in Minnesota have united to recommend that
the federal government buy thousand acres so of
land in this state, construct work and put short
term federal prisoners to work them. They de-
clare that this will be humane method of
distributing them among county jas Of the state

The judges recommendation is very like that
made recently by the Minnesota county attorneys in
regard to county prisoners, declaring for the estab

and large number of other Minnesota newspapers
have been for time.
While we may not regard the situation from the

do, very real merit in the suggestion.
The exercises will certainly not do the prisoners any
harm-and meanwhile the teaching of the habit of

A LETTER TO A YOUNG MAN
(Rr11co RarfonN

You ask me how you get better job.
My answer is that you can't.
All over the country millions of young men
who, in vague sort of way, want better job; and
who want the better job
And the millions wonder why the few move on,
while they stand stationary year after year.
You must, first of all, pick out the better job
particular job that is better than yours. Then
train your guns on that and capture it.

you $25 week.
I know certified public accountants who earn
$4,000 year and more.
If I bookkeeper earning $25 week.

more money until you have to SELL

ing and have hundred bright young men here at
eight o'clock. Each will have just as much to
offer me as you have; the same two years of high
school; the same experience in keeping books the
same good record. Every one of them will be willing
to work for $685. and some of them for $18
The only way you can lift yourself out of that

rest of the fellows in that class have In 9TH

Third: When you have picked out the one par

fitted yourself for it then be careful of your letter
of application.
Your letter is your representative. For heavens
sake if have in you any spark originality that
other men have not, make your letter tiny bit diff

will write.

THE IMMORTAL FIFTY-SIX

Fifty-six members of the Continental
Congress signed the Declaration of Independ-
ence after it's adoption on July 4, 1776, and of
these daring patriots it has been said that
mot one of the signers ever fell from the
high estate to which that great act had ele-
waited him."
Among the Sc were many of the notable
figures of the early history of the United
States Two of them, Adams and Jefferson,
reached the presidency. Benjamin Harrison
became the father of one President and the
great-grandfather of another. The bold sig
nature of John Hancock, who signed first as
President of the Congress, is the most con-
spicuous feature of the original document.
Other exceptionally prominent signers were
Benjamin Frinklin, Robert Morris, DR.. Ben
jamin Rush, Samuel Adams, Richard Henry
Lee, and Charles Carroll. Carroll was the
last survivor and lived 60 years after the
adoption of the Declaration reaching the age
of IS.
The signers included "a lawyers, Is
farmers, nine merchants, five physicians,
two mechanics, one clergyman, one mason
and one surveyor. All except eight were born
on American soil.
To the wisdom, courage and patriotism
of these immortal Sc, who declared our in
dependence and made heroic sacrifices in it's
behalf, the existence of the nation is largely
due. They will ever be held in grateful re-
membrance.

Sweet Tooth of Growing
Calves Being Studied
Sixty Animals at Minnesota State
Farm Tested for Feed CLASH
fication Last Spring

st. Paul, June 23-The sweet
tooth, as a factor in fattening baby
beef calves has been studied at Uni
versity farm during the past winter
and spring.
Sixty calves, in six lots Of ten
calves each, have been fed different
rations, some of them containing
molasses, to determine the values of
the rations provided. The principal
questions studied, according to w.
H. Peters, in charge of the work,
have been:
"The effect of substituting cane
molasses for part of the corn in the
ordinary ration for fattening beef
calves; the effect of adding two
pounds of cane molasses to a full
feed of ground barley for each calf
every day; and, the effect of grind
ing alfalfa hay and mixing it with
corn, or, with corn and molasses,
before feeding to fattening calves"
Results of these tests will be
shown in the cattle themselves at
the annual Cattle Feeders day at
University farm, St. Paul, next
Wednesday , the program beginning
at 1000 a. M, and closing at 1870
p. m. In addition, the results of
feeding trials carried on at Crooks
ton through the winter will be ex-
planned.
Two programs will be given dur
ing the day-one for men and one
for women. The program for men
will include talks by Mr.. Peters, in
explanation of the tests; by w. F
tDeters, of Caledonia, practical
beef producer, on methods used on
his farm; by DR.. G.. A. Pond, farm
management specialist of the Min

may be treated either by applying
the dry powder direct to the skin,
putting one pinch under the legs
and wings, one above and one below
the vent, one on the back of the
head and few along the back and
breast or the hens may be dipped
in a solution of warm water, con-
tanning four teaspoons of sodium
cloride to the gallon. The dipping
method is probably best. The bird
should be dipped against the feath-
ers in order to have the solution
go directly down to the skin and of
course they should be treated on a
warm day to insure against colds.

walls near roosts should also be
painted. The carbolinum should
not be diluted with water but ap-
piled full strength to the roosts but
one treatment is usually sufficient
for a year so the yearly cost is not
high. This treatment should be
applied in the morning and the
hens kept away from the roosts for
a few hours to prevent burning of
their feet. Mites cannot be killed
by treating the hens because they
do not stay on the hen, but in dark
cracks and crevices on or near
roosts. They are on the hen for a
short time at night when they fill
up on blood and then return to their
hiding places where eggs are laid
in large clusters. In taking the
blood from the hens the vitality
of the whole flock is lowered and
with this loss of vitality there is
bound to be corresponding lowering
of egg production.

SMOOT SAYS TRADE
JUST|FIES TARIFF
Senate Committee Chairman
Cites Cutting of Decrease
Since June 18.

The new tariff law is vindicated by a
study Of customs receipts, in the opin-
ion of Chairman Smoot Of the Senate
Finance Committee, who sees American
foreign trade improving and regards it
as zone of the most healthfm signs
on the economic horizon"
The Utahan's statement showed that
while customs receipts since June ID,
when the new tariff act went into ef-
feet, to November "a have declined
S75. .OOO, 900, compared with the same
period last year, the last To-day period
disclosed a drop of only 6.8 per cent as
compared with So per cent for the 10
day period soon after the act became
operative.
''The table is indeed a remarkable
showing for a new tariff law" he said,
"a law which was passed in the midst
of q domestic depression and while
international commerce was suffering
from the effects of a worldwide de-
preston"
He listed imports for the first quar-
ter of the current fiscal year at $685.
271, $3.50, two-thirds of which were made
UP of non-dutiable merchandise. After
showing free goods declined 40 per cent,
as compared with Is per cent for duti-
able items, he said it would be folly
TO assume that the decline in the i'm
portations OF free goods was due to
the tariff law"
Smoot explained the large drop in
customs revenues Immediately follow
ing passage of the tariff law as due
to o rush of imports to avoid payment
of the higher rates Just prior to its
effective date and q worldwide slump
