SENATOR SHIPSTEAD LEADS FIGHT
AGAINST OLEOMARGARINE

Northwestern Senators, led by Henrik
ShipStead, of Minnesota, succeeded in hav-
ing the bill providing for tax of 10 cents
per pound on yellow oleomargarine passed by
the United States Senate Monday evening
at 700 o'clock.
A very strong lobby had fought this bill
and it had been held in committe for long
time. When it was reported out it was prob
ably expected that it could not be reached
this session.
By using palm oil manufacturers have
been coloring oleomargarine without artifc-
ial aid. The revenue department had ruled
that this carried tax of only one-fourth
cent per pound
The housewives of America have been
lured away from butter because of the sim
ilarity in looks between oleo and high class
sweet cream dairy butter. The retail price
of oleo, it is understood, has been about rs
cents for two pounds.
The bill was to go back to the house to
concur in a minor Senate amendment, but it
was expected that it would be rushed
through without delay.
The passage of this bill will be worth
millions of dollars annually to the dairymen
of Minnesota. 1t has been the experience
that when legislation giving the dairy farm
er further protection from unjust competi-
ton has been enacted decided and rapid in
crease in butterfat prices has been noted.
Senator Shipstead is to be commended
for his splendid and successful fight in Sc
curing the passage of this bill. The passage
of the measure was made possible by the CO.
operation of assistant Republican floor lead
er, McNarry, of Oregon. Every opposition
vote was cast by Democratic Senators.

COMMUNITY BAND A FINE ASSET

The Herald wonders if Mr.. Average Citi-
zen of Sank Centre realizes the splendid asset
a regularly organized and functioning band
is to this community.
The need was keenly felt, however, dur
ing the years this city was without a COM
petent musical organization.
When the Community Club sponsored
the local Boys Band organization few years
ago they started movement which is of un-
usual worth to the boys and girls in the band
and has brought very favorable advertising
to this city.
A number of the young men who re-
ceived their first musical instruction under
the direction Of the leader, P. w. Hanson,
are now efficient members of bands where
they are attending school, elsewhere.
The Herald feels that the city was I'M
usually fortunate when leader of the high
moral standing and efficiency of Mr.. Hanson
was secured. The splendid progress
the youngsters have made under his tute-
lage is fine monument to his patience and
ability
Recently the st. Paul Dispatch in dis
cussing the Community Band editorially had
the following to say:
Nothing is so beneficial for the city pride and
the community spirit OF the smaller town as
good brass band.
Clara City in Chippewa County Minnesota, is
well of this and accordingly the local
Community Club took steps at its recent meet
ing for the reorganization of the Clara City Brass
Band. 1t is not known how long Clara City has
been without this desirable community feature,
but it must have been sorely missed For,
everybody who has lived in small town will
agree, the local band is valuable institution.
It furnishes musical entertainment, creates civic
enthusiasm and engenders spirit of friendli-
ness and cooperation in the entire community. It
is beloved by all because it is purely local in
creation and sentiment, and for those who
fortunate enough to qualify members, it is
most satisfactory form recreation.
For the good of the principle of sane and health
full community spirit in Minnesota towns it is
sincerely hoped that the Clara City Community
Club will be successful in it's appeal, that the
former band members will respond to the call,
and that the townspeope will give the enter
prise the support it deserves. For Clara City
should have its brass band back again.

may never get another one. The
Republicans promised us prosper
ity and we like a half wit believed
'em. But the joke is on them;
they amt eating so regular them
selves. Starving amt so bad. it's
getting used to it that is tough.
The first three years of a Repub-
lican administration is the hardest.
BY the end of that time you are
used to living on predictions. It
seems good to get back in the old
south again, for this is about the
only old south we got. Prohibition
split us in two politically, and the
drouth cut the two halves up into
quarters, and the quarters are d.
vided over the tariff, so that only
leaves one eighth of the Party in
tact, and the Wickersham Report
killed off those that could read, and
the Hoover Democrats have com.
mitted suicide. So the old South
is solid in favor of anything that
amt in effect now. This hunger Is
not local; it's universal.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Detroit Lakes, Mimi, Tribune


Return of capital punishment to Minnesota is
sought in a bill now before the legislature Persons
guilty of first degree murder in the state would be
executed by hanging under the proposed measure
Capital punishment abolished in Minnesota in
1911. Several attempts have been made since to
store it to the statutes but all efforts have failed
The last move was made and defeated four years
ago. 1t is rather difficult to understand why legis
lators should be reluctant about capital pun
ishment bill. When criminal murders citizen in
cold blood, he should pay for sscrime with death
penalty. Criminals now commit murder and
know that the worst they get is life sentence,
providing they are apprehended Then there is also
the chance of parole after serving a number Of
years, and the possibility of escape from the prison
walls With death sentence hanging over his head
criminal will think a second time before he COM
mits the extreme crime of taking life. He values
his life just highly any respectable citizen
and will hesitate to sign his death warrant. 1t
is time for to get hard-boiled in the matter Of
prosecution of criminals We have become so lem
lent that lawbreakers and murderers are using the
state rendezvous. The penalty should At the
crime, and therefore, who murders in cold
blood is entitled to the retention Of his own life

AN IMPROVED COMMUNITY
NEWSPAPER

This weeks Herald goes to it's large
family of readers with an entire change of
size, makeup and heading which the pub
fishers are convinced is vast improvement
The Herald is among the older Mime
sofa newspapers and the line Established
in 1867" is strong asset that should ever
be kept before the public.
Considerable thought was given to the
development of suitable heading which
would tie up the city and rural communities.
The engravings on either side of the head
were drawn by local artist, Sim Weiner,
of the Bishop Co. Several rough drawings
were submitted by engraving houses in the
Twin Cities but none of them carried out
what the Herald publishers had indefinitely
in mind. Mr.. Weiner saw proofs and asked
for an opportunity to work out sketches en-
bodying what was desired. The young man
caught the idea at once and we believe all
will agree that he did splendid job.
Eight column 12-em pages is the latest
idea in modern rural journalism. This size
furnishes opportunity for improved makeup
and dressing up of each page and the adver-
tser can be given a more attractive position.
The columns are % inches long, two
inches more than formerly, and the pages
are one column wider. An eight page 8-col-
umn paper provides eight inches more of
reading matter than did 10-page 20-inch
seven column paper.
The increased size of the Herald cost
the publishers tidy sum; we are convinced
the expense will be justified. The commun-
ity newspaper should be a mirror OF the city
and community in which it is published. The
publishers always endeavor to keep the
Herald in the front rank of Rural Minnesota
journalism.
The thought always in mind in the Her.
aid office is to make this newspaper thor
oughly representative, sponsoring move
ments the object of which is to make Sank
Centre and community better place in
which to live

coming from our last stand at Tex
arkana, Tex, all one morning. We
finally worked our way out to the
edge of New Mexico and then we
got out of the rain and hit a real
blizzard, snow-storm.
Now get this. Here was an
emergency landing a storm where
you couldn't see ten yards, and we
hadn't got out of the plane and
quit stamping around trying to
keep warm, till Committee of the
town was there to ask us to come
that night to a banquet. We had
had three solid weeks of commit
tees and was flying away to es-
cape 'em, and here was one away
out on the prairies in snow
storm. That's working pretty fast.
I want to see some Chamber of
Commerce beat that. The school
teachers of Guadalupe county
were having banquet over at the
Harvey House that night, so Frank
Hawkes. and I went over and did
our usual little act.
We had got so by this time we
could do it in our sleep. You
could wake either of us up at any
hour of the night and we would
raise up; Frank would say, IT have
been called Speed Demon; I am
not a Speed Demon; think that
aviation has something to sell that
no other line Of transportation has,
and that is speed. I mean speed
within the confines of safety, the
whole heavens above is open, and
all we have to do is to use it. You
can't get any worse hurt flying at
two or three hundreds miles an
hour than you can flying at ninety,
so what we have to do is develop
planes that will fly at what we now
call a tremendous rate of speed.
I see the day coming in the not far
distant when you will leave New
York at noon, fly across the coun-
try at the rate of thousand miles
an hour, and reach Los Angeles at
noon. That sounds crazy, but it's
not; the sun travels at the rate of
one thousand miles an hour; well
if the plane travels that fast you
leave at noon, and as there is three
hours difference in time, it takes
you three hours to make it, so you
can get there when the sun does,
so you leave at noon and arrive at
noon. Of course when we fly two
thousand miles an hour you will
leave New York at noon, and will
fly out and arrive back at noon; in
other words, you haven't been gone
at all, and that reminds me of the
time I took up Negro boy. Will
always wants me to tell some jokes
too, he has advised me not to get
too technical. So I will tell you
about the Negro boy"
So we had this stuff down so
pat that we could do it anywhere,
or any time. Frank has a dandy
appearance on the stage, and they
like to hear him tell of his trips.
Well, in case I am called at any
hour of the night I simply roll over
on my pillow and start in as fol-
lows: well, folks, sure glad to be
here with VOL glad Won are starry

RADICALS REACH PERFECTION IN
JUNKETING AT GOVERNMENT
EXPENSE
Great is reform.

In Sundays Minneapolis Journal Ar
thur Sears Henning, one of the most reliable
correspondents, had very interesting ar
ticle dealing particularly with the group of
United States Senators who are loudest in
their condemnation of special privilege-the
great iniquity of the age.
Mr.. Henning gives facts and figures
which show that the radical wing of the
United States Senate have brought to an I'm
precedented stage of perfection their pet
special privilege of junketing at public ex-
pense.
Gerald P. Nye, United States Senator
from North Dakota, who is active on investi-
eating committees has shown the older boys
how to do their stuff, and number of them
have fallen in line.
During the Congressional recess this
summer joint committees of the House and
Senate will visit the PHILIPPINE, the Panama

sidered plenty good enough for the average
business man is not good enough for the tenn
permental near statesmen. They must
have compartments. To use compartment
two tickets are required which permits the
gentlemen to take their wives along at public
expense. This plan of course, pleaseS the
ladies, and it is said that Senator Nye is
very popular with the fair sex of the Con-
gress.
Senator Nye's Christmas holiday includ-
ed group of his colleagues and their ladies.
They explored the Florida Everglades. A
Maimi yacht was secured and voyage in
Guiding yacht and high class orchestra and
tarpon fishing was enjoyed. This side trip
cost Uncle Sam the tidy sum of 81 ,687. so.
The personnel of the Florida trip were Sen
ator and Mrs. Nye, Senator and Mrs. Glenn,
Senator and Mrs. Oddie, Senator and Mrs.
Ashurst, Senators Walsh, Norbeck and Task
er. This entire bunch belong to the coalation
group.
Senator Nye has had approved by the
Senate an expense account of 500, 900 in con-
nection with his investigation of campaign
expenditures. One of these government
junkets took him to his home state in North
Dakota; another time Glacier National Park
was visited. The Senate recently gave Mr.
Nye carte blanche to draw an additional $780,
900.
Senator Blaine, Wisconsin purist, has an
expense account which exceeds $4,000 to
date to investigate postal leases.
Senator Frazier, Mr.. Nye's colleague
from North Dakota, is chairman of the Sen
ate committee on Indian affairs. His COM
mittee junkets have cost the government
$55.619 to date.
A senate committee investigating the
conservation of wild life cost the govern
ment $18,864.

Acre Earnings

Inc american farmer IS interest
ed principally in the earning of his
acres. The tax on his land must
be paid whether it earns a profit
or not. It is no benefit for him to
own many acres which earn little.
Production without regard to earn
ing is detrimental. This is what
causes over-production.
Experiment Station investigators
have recently given their findings
in acre earnings, and this certainly
is a very simple and practical
method which any farmer can I'M
derstand and apply to his farm.
In an Ohio feeding test, Professor
Paul Gerlaugh showed that where
beef cattle. were fattened on corn
silage compared with dry fodder,
the silage-fed cattle made a profit
of $5.47 more per cwt., than those
fed dry fodder. This test also
showed that corn put into the silo
and fed, produced $20.85 more pro-
fit than where husked out and fed
in the form of fodder. In other
words, the silage method of feeding
gave an earning of $20.85 more
per acre.
After averaging eight years of
cattle feeding tests made in the
Indiana Experiment Station, it
was found that the acres needed
to grow the feed for a two-year-
old steer for a period of $50 days
could be decreased from 20 to 40
per cent by the use of silage in
the ration. To feed out a carload
of steers for $50 days, it required
1888 acres to produce the rough
age where corn slower was fed.
Where hay was used and shelled
corn, IS acres were required, and
where hay and silage were used,
but "a acres were needed.
In a similar test carried on in
Kansas, kafir corn being used in
stead Of Indian corn, Professor
c. w. McCampbell reports the
following:
"Kafir fodder siIage produced
340.58 pounds more gain per acre
than whole kafir fodder. Giving
this increase in gain a value of $11
per cwt. Kafir fodder silage was
worth $337.46 per acre more than
whole Kafir fodder"
In another test comparing Kafir
fodder silage with ground Kafir,
he reports the following:
"Kafir fodder silage produced
263.S7 pounds more gain per acre
than ground Kafir fodder. Giving
this additional gain a value of $11
per cwt, Kafir fodder silage was
worth $2.97 per acre more than
ground Kafir fodder"
Using gain per acre as the basis
of comparison and giving whole
Kafir fodder a value of 100, chopp-
kafir fodder was worth 1OO.83;
ground Kafir fodder. 1852; and
Kafir fodder silage, 257.14."
