Pope County Asking State
for Back Real Estate Taxes
County Auditor Has Placed Rural
Credits Bureau Lands on DELHI
quent Tax List

A question that has been coming
to the fore more and more the last
few years is whether the state
should pay taxes on the pieces of
land that it has acquired thru
foreclosing mortgages on lands
where the owners had borrowed
money from the rural credits
board. There are places in the
state where this matter of not get
ting taxes on these lands have con-
siderablly effected the school dis
tricts and other municipalities.
At the meeting last year of the
Minnesota school board association
a resolution was passed asking the
legislature to provide for the pay
ment by the state of taxes for
school purposes upon all lands
which it had or might acquire by
process of foreclosure of mortgage
This resolution was brought to the
legislature and laid before it by the
legislative committee of the asso-
citation but nothing was done by the
legislature.
Pope county has found a very eff
fective way of bringing this matter
to a head. In the delinquent tax
list which was published in the
Herald on February Is and 20
Pope county has listed about Is
farms owned by the Rural Credits
Bureau. The bureau has paid no
taxes on these lands on the ground
that they were exempt from taxa
ton.
County Auditor Landing, how
ever, placed the Rural Credits Bur-
eau on the delinquent tax list
which has the same effect as filing
a claim against the land. The
state has until March IL to answer
the complaint. March IL was yester-
day. We have not heard, as this is
written, whether an answer has
been filed or not.
The case will be tried in the
Pope county district court and this
will decide it for the state. 1t may
be that the case will reach the
supreme court before it is settled
finally. In the northern part Of
the state especially there are very
many school districts that are very
hard hit because of not receiving
taxes on land owned by the state.
Several opinions have been is
sued by the assistant attorney gen
erals office on the case. The rul.
ing is that foreclosed farms held
by the Rural Credit Bureau are
exempt from taxation because the
constitution exempts public prop
cry used exclusively for public pur-
pose. It was held that loaning
money in aid of agriculture is pub
lie purpose.-Glenwood Herald.

Floyd Olson to File as
Farmer-Labor Candidate
Is County Attorney of Hennepin-
Harmony Prevails Among
Leaders of Party

Minnesota, March Is Friend
close to Floyd B. Olson, Hennepin
county attorney, today said he has
decided to file as the Farmer-Labor
candidate for governor. He is ex-
pected to be the choice of the party
convention March 81 and % in st.

Olson has been prominently men
toned as a candidate for United

seek the governorship is believed 20
have been actuated by Gov. Theo-

yesterday that he would run for
senator. Olson's opposition in the
gubernational race would be less
formidable, it is believed, than the
battle he would be given by Chris
Hanson and Sen. Thomas Schall, in

MIR. HARRISON SELLS
LAUNDRY BUSINESS
Andrew C. Nelson New Own
er, Has Been in Game for
Sixteen Years
POSSESSION SATURDAY
Mr.. MarksOn Not Decided Up
on Future Plan of Action
To Remain in City

A business deal of considerable
Importance was consumn1ated Sat
urday when A. G. Nelson, of Will
mar, Mimi, completed negotiations
for the purchase of the building,
plant and business of the City
Steam Laundry of Albert Markson
Mr.. Markson landed in Sank Cen
ire, April 10, 1902, and Immediately
purchased the hand laundry of
Lord & Son, located in the building,
corner Main and Second street,
now occupied by the Sank Centre
Who'd Works. In a short time Mr.
Markson converted the plant into a
steam laundry. He developed the
business sufficiently to take in most
of the towns and cities adjacent to
Sank Centre in every direction.
The building at Second and Main
became too small for the activities
of this growing business concern
and in the early spring of 1914
Mr. Markson erected the modern
laundry building with dry cleaning
annex at 221 S. Main street. In
this building Mr.. Markson installed
modern equipment which made the
Sank Centre plant the most COM
plete of it's kind in Central Min
nesota.
In December, 1927, the building
was badly Quilted by fire which
necessitated the installation of
much new modern machinery.
The new owner was for Is years
one of the owners of Nelson Bros.
Laundry at Willmar. He began
negotiation for the Sank Centre
property early in the new year. The
new proprietor of the City Steam
Laundry is a gentleman of pleas
ing personality who is thoroughly
conversant with every branch of
the laundry and dry cleaning bust
ness. He took possession of the
property at noon Saturday since
which time the entire force has
been busily employed giving the
plant and. building thorough over
hauling, bringing it up to the
standard of efficiency demanded
by Mr.. Nelson.
All of the old employees have
been retained by the new owner,
and Otto Falksted, for years the
washer for Mr.. Markson, has been
re-employed. Milton Peterson,
brother of Mrs. Nelson, will be the
driver of the delivery truck. For
a time Sigurd G. Nelson, of Spieer,
Mimi, will assist his brother at the
Sank Centre plant.
Mr.. Nelson has a family consist
ing of a wife and three children,
8, and three years old. They have
taken up housekeeping in the home
corner of Birch and Eighth streets.
Mr.. Markson is undecided as to
his future activities. The Herald
expresses the universal wish of the
community with the hope that they
will continue to make this city their
home.

Over 100 Attend Father
and Son Banquet Friday
III. A. Falk, Toastsaagter, of a Pre-
scribed Program - Food
Was Excellent

The first annual father. and sor
banquet of the Congregations
Church was held Friday evening
about 120 being in attendance.
Ven Wedge, as song leader, put
some pep into the gathering before
the excellent meal was served, by
leading the group singing of a num-
Der of songs especially appropriate
for a gathering of this sort.
The dinner was prepared and
served by the Coreopsis society OF
the church.
Supt. H. A. Falk officiated as
POSTMASTER using a prescribed pro
gram. P. B. Hanson, member of the
church board, was the first speaker
introduced. He most graciously
welcomed the boys and their dads,
expressing the hope that they at,
tend church and Sunday school reg
ularly. Grin Anderson made an ap-
propriate response.
Clyde Thomas in a five minute
talk discussed Successful Young
Manhood" using the life and activ
tiles of Robert Dollar, famous
steam ship operator on the Wes'
coast, as his example.
"a Great Partnership" was dis
cussed by Glen Sullivan. Gle showed
the great Joy and satisfaction which
would come to father and son il
there was 3 complete mutual under
standing. Glen's talk was a splend
id effort.
Toastmaster Falk urged the boys
to take dad into their confidence
They had joint responsibilities ir
that it was up to them to look
after the rest of the family. They
were responsible for organized
society. There should be no loss Of
a complete understanding between
father and son.
DR.. J. A. Dubois discussed the
topic of the "New Generation" HI
said be was not in a position to dc
the subject full justice as he was
still young" He urged his hearers
not to worry about the younger
generation of today-they were as
good if not better in every way
than were their forebears.
Rev. L. M. Tesh, of Glenwood
was billed as the principal speaker
of the evening. He was said to have
had ample experience with young
neople. Frankly. this address was 6
distinct disappointment; there was
nothing in it to give the growing
youth any JOYOUS outlook on life.
Those handling this first father
and son dinner were working with
out experience. Because Friday
evenings dinner was not the sue
cess it had been hoped for there
isn't any reason why the experience
gained should not be an extremely
valuable lesson for future events Of
this sort.

LiteraryDigest Vote
Has Vet Tendency
Centers of Population Are Report
ing First-Final Result Will
Be Accurate

The mail vote being taken by the
Literary Digest to gather the SEN
timent of the American people re-
lative to prohibition to date shows
a decidedly wet trend.
Twenty million cards will be mail
ed out, covering every nook and
corner of the Nation. These cards
contain three questions:
Favoring modification; repeal and
enforcement. The second set of
returns were published Tuesday of
this week, covering 13 cities East,
and Middle West.
While it is a trifle early to ar
rive at definite conclusion as to
the sentiment of the country, the
Herald is convinced that the total
vote when completed will give a
very accurate index of the coun-
trys sentiment. The Herald editor
has watched the Literary Digest
vote very carefully since 1916 and
the final tabulation has in percent
age been within five per cent of
the total vote cast in the election.

Several Business and Profess
SiOnal Men Not Yet on
Honor Roll

The Sank Centre community is
back of the Boys and Girls All
Club movement in a very substan-
tial manner.
Three weeks ago the Herald set
about to collect an apportionment
of at least $250,O00 to be used by
the Stearns County All Council in
the employment of county wide
Club leader for this year.
1t will be recalled that at the
meeting of the Council held at Free
port few weeks ago it was dis
closed that the Council still owed
George Minette, Of this city, 1921. 90
on his salary for 1929. A resolu-
ton was passed at this meeting
that a county leader would not be
employed until there was money in
sight to clean up last years indebt-
edness and to provide funds for
1880.
Fred Schilplin, of the St. Cloud
Times stated to the Council that
he would assume the responsible
ity of underwriting $1,000 for All
Club work this year. To date the
only agencies campaigning for
funds are the st. Cloud Times and
the Sank Centre Herald.
The response to the Herald's ap-
peal to the business men of Sank
Centre and community for funds
to carry on this splendid movement
has been most gratifying. When
the subscription closed for this
week, Wednesday afternoon nearly
the full amount set as the Sank
Centre apportionment of $4,000 has
been subscribed.
There are still a number of bust
ness and professional men who
have not sent in their subscriptions.
The Herald hopes to close the
books on this campaign in the is
sue of March 81. If you want your
name on this roll of honor you
must hurry. The amount one sub
scribes is not so important as to
show the boys and girls of West
ern Stearns that you are back of
them in the most important move
ment being carried on in the coun-
ty.

of the organization that is doing so
much for it's youth.

University of Minnesota
Has Very High Standing
1,256 Students Now Engaged liz
Higher Education Work
Medicine Leads

Minneapolis, March II - Third
largest in the country, the Univer-
Isity of Minnesota has body of L.
256 students, located on the top
shelf of higher education above tine
scholastic pursuits of the vast, COM
pany of undergraduates.
In the wide assortment of studies
in the school, which goes into all
branches of the university's curri-
culum, the total of those pursuing
degrees in medicine and agricul-
ture outweighs the aggregate of all
the rest.
Approximately 400 students are
studying for advanced degrees in
medicine and 300 similarly in agri-
culture. The third largest group is
in education, other subjects leading
in popularity being English, chem
istry and history. Of the 400 stu
dents in medicine, 81 are studying
at the Mayo clinic in Rochester.
The graduate school is the third
largest college in the university
ranking only beneath the college OF
engineering and architecture and
the liberal arts college. It has only
two superiors in size in the coun-
try. Columbia and John Hopkins
universities.
For research purposes alone the
graduate school has two separate
funds of $4,000 and $4,000, each
of which can be spent annually
The $4,000 has been stipulated for
each year by the state legislature
for medical research, most of
which is carried on at Rochester.
The $4,000 comes under the reg
ular graduate school budget in the
university and is used for research
work exclusive of medical subjects.
At the present time 50 students are
engaged in research of one kind or
another.
Besides having students from
every accredited college and univer-
sity in the state and from many
other institutions in the country,
the graduate school has represen-
tatives from Is foreign countries.
Twelve of the latter come from
Canada, nine from Germany, six
from the Philippine Islands and
five from China, Scotland, Sweden
and Czechoslovakia have two each,
while Armenia, Australia, England,
Greece, Roumania, Russia, Italy
and New Zealand have one each.

in Wisconsin.
The Far View herd won national
distinction several years ago when
Believe pure bred Brown Swiss
cow owned by Minette and Son,
produced in excess of 1000 pounds
of butterfat in a 12-month period.
This was a world record for a cow
over II years old at the time; and
the record still stands. Many
daughters and sons of this remark
able cow can be found in the Far
View Brown Swiss herd of today.
Dorothy Believe, high cow in her
breeding as 3-year-old, produced
1906 pounds of milk and 1857
pounds of butterfat in IL months.
She also has many sons and daugh-
tiers in the herd offered at the dis
persal sale March 26.
For the past ten years over a
dozen head of pure breds have been
sold yearly going into almost every
state in the Union. They have
been shipped by freight, express,
truck and even airplane.

plete pedigrees of the animals be-
ing offered at the Dispersal Sale
The demand for these books has;
been very brisk, over 1000 of them
having been mailed, some of them

ders will come from a wide range
of territory.
L. E. Pennewell, Madison, Wis.

cattle, and an expert, will be the
chief auctioneer. Ray DeLong, Saul
Centres very efficient crier of
sales, will assist him. Ben Dubois
of the First State Bank of this
city, will officiate as clerk.
Mr.. Minette has rented his farm
and will retire.
This sale should have a special
appeal to the dairymen of this Sec
ton. The splendid butterfat pro-
ducing qualities of the Var View
Brown Swiss herd are well known
More than likely some of the alert
dairymen of this community will
see to it that several of the better
individuals in this splendid herd
will remain in the Sank Centre ter
