WHALES CUT HOG DEMAND

It may sound strange, but it is neverthe-
less true that the growing whaling industry
is having an adverse effect upon the de-
mand for hogs. In several foreign countries
whale oil is being used for making margarine,
thereby reducing the market for American
lard.
One large packing company reports that
the production of whale oil has Increased 300
per cent in the last four years, and now
equals one-haf of all the lard produced in the
United States. This has been due to the

AN APPRECIATION

Thursday evening of last week about so
Sank Centre business and professional men
gave the Herald editor testimonial dinner
at the Palmer House commenlorating the
completion of fifty years active newspaper
work.
Many of the men present paid tribute
to the community work the editor has at
tempted to do in the Is years he has resided
in this city.
This token of friendship and good will
by the men with whom he has been closest
associated is greatly appreciated. The writ
er has always endeavored to be of service to
this community but he sincerely questions
whether the econiums by his neighbors is
fully deserved.
We were particularly gratifed by the
presence of number of former employees
in this city and Fairfax, Mimi. They were:
Grove Wills, Herald employee, now publisher
of the Eveeth Clarion and president of the
Minnesota Editorial Association; Carl Carl.
son, employee at Fairfax, postmaster and
editor of the Melrose Beacon; Dewey Zettle,
employed at Fairfax and Sank Centre, pub

cation of the Herald; Robert Grimes, Herald
cluplOyet, 1OTCIldu ITLuCSCOtl O1lOu, NEWELL
Barnard, former Herald employee, now ad-
vertising expert, st. Cloud Tnos Clough,
former Herald employee, of this city.
Present day associates at the dinner
were M. ]. Fleming and Ed L. Rattle, part
ners, Floyd Clark, Clyde Silver and Carl
Smith.
Letters were received from former as
sociates unable to attend: Horace w. Cut
ten, Herald employee, one of the publishers
of the Red Lake Falls Gazette; E. F. Hars-
nish, Mayor Of Chatfeld, former employee
and partner at Chatfeld; Phil Ploof, employ
ed for 20 years at Wykoff and Fairfax, fore
man of the Tracy Headlight; Hugh Wallace,
son, former employee and partner, Passede-
ma, CAL, Star-News composing room; Earl

were sincere; we are human enough to take
pride in these words of mouths testimonials

LEGISLATORS BUTT IN ON TEAPOT
TEMPEST

Several weeks ago II of the male stu
dents attending the State Farm School, St.
Paul, were caught red-handed while they
were having honest-to-goodness gin party
in one of the schools dormitories.
The school authorities promptly dis
ciplined them by suspending the boys from
school and denying them the privilege of
graduating with their class in June.
Evidently some of the members of the
hootch drinkers are close to some of the
members of the legislature as an investiga-
ton was started in the Senate and House at
once. An agreement was reached between
the joint legislative committee and someone
purporting to represent the Farm School
whereby all of the boys except two were to
be reinstated. The latter were the bootleg
gers and were to be given the gate"
Dean Coffee, of the Farm School, has
stated that the go-between had no authority
to make any arrangements for the farm
school and resented legislative interference
in the schools discipline. He says the sus-
pensions stand. President Coffman has up
held Dean Coffee.
A day or two ago the legislators said
they would have the college heads respon-
sible for the suspension of the boys suspend
ed unless they rescinded the action to stand
pat on the kicking the offender out of school.
To the Herald it looks like a teapot
tempest However the legislature is going
long way and setting an extremely danger
GUS precedent in attempting to dictate the dis
cipline of any educational institution in the
state.
The Herald is of the opinion that the
punishment for the Young men is pretty
harsh and it can very likely be adjusted if
the near-statesmen at St. Paul will devote
their time and energy to killing some of the
foolish bills in the legislative hopper instead
of concerning themselves with something
which is, after all, beyond the pale of their
authority.

and waited.
In few moments two men came

something about tools and went
back. Quick as thought the watcher

into the trap. got into the sack, and
braced himself stiffly into position.
Hardly had he done so when the
two men returned and threw some
tools into the trap, after which one
got up in front and the other on the
back seat. "Wud" as he was, our
adventurer now began to repent of
his hastiness, rejecting that one
corpse was as good as another on

days, questions were by no means

when he found that all his traps had

throatly chuckle. 'He lost his temper"

other, and the farther he got the an
grier he grew. But getting angry

getting angry. Anyway, he stopped

did was to hunt for trap. When he
found it he pulled it out. Then what
do you think he did?'
"Gobbled up that meat and stepped
in one of the other traps and was

Nothing of the kind replied Hon

meat. He went right on hunting for
Dcaps until he had found every one.
It was just as if he had seen that
hunter set those traps, but he hadn't.
When he had found the last one he
just walked over to that piece of meat
and ate every scrap of it. Then he
went on pulling out the traps which had
