Pretty Wife Costs More
Under Nezv IaT Measure

When your RADIO gets fuzzy and
you buy new one for SIS your
tax is $3.75, and if you put in an
electrical refrigerator that the man.
ufacturer sells for 500 you are out
an additional SIS in taxes.
If you play golf and your wife
and child take part in any sports,
$50 a year isn't too much to ex-
pect to spend on sporting equip
ment. The tax on that is IS.
When you make the annual hunt
ing trip even though you use your
old gun-and spend $40 for shells
you give the government 81 more
in taxes.
For your vacation you buy a
SIS camera and pay a $3.50 tax;
you'll use enough matches, if you
are a smoker, to pay 81 a year tax.
If there should be a sweet tooth
in the family, and you buy $50
worth of candy a year, that tax
will amount to 81. When few soft
drinks are thrown in, another 81
goes to the treasury.
Suppose your electric light bill,
including the power for your new
electric refrigerator, is SIS a month,
then your annual tax is $1.S0.
When you use the telephone and
telegraph in your business at vary
ing taxes, it won't be much trouble
for you to roll up $40 annual tax
bill on those.
If you and your family write an
average of seven letters day, the
increase in postage from 2 to 8
cents will make your stamps cost
SIS instead of $50.
If you average 81 week for
movies and shows, you'll donate $40
to the treasury and if you write
only two checks a day, the 2-cent
tax will cost more than $12.
Your total new taxes under these
estimates will be $310.85 against
$74.23 under the old rates, or an in
crease of $236.62.

brate. Rev. Arts first Mass was
celebrated at st. Aloysius' church

Sandy Land and
the Alfalfa Crop
University Farm VIII Make Inter
esting Demonstration Near
Brainerd, Saturday July 8

Some experiments of exceptional
Importance to farmers on sandy
land in Crow Wing, Morrison,
Stearns, Benton and Cass counties.
according to members of the Min
nesota Experiment station Staff
will be demonstrated on Visitors
Day, Saturday July 9 at the Crow
Wing Sand Experimental Field.
nine miles south of Brainerd on
the paved highway.
The experiments referred to
have had to do with getting stands
of alfalfa as cheaply as possibly on
sandy soils and with the effect of
alfalfa on the yields of the crops
that follow it rye, oats and barley.
The results with crops following
alfalfa at the Crow Wing Station,
have been remarkable, says F. J..
Away, chief of the Division of
Soils of the Minnesota Agricultur-
ial Experiment Station, who has
been in charge of the experiments.
Crops of some of the grains the
first year following alfalfa have
more than double those from land
Immediately adjoining, on which
no alfalfa has been grown. And
this has been true in spite of the
fact that the alafalfa has not been
plowed under but has been closely
harvested for hay.
In other words, it has been
shown that the sandy soils of the
region can be made to Yield gen.
erous crops of alfalfa, and, follow
ing the alfalfa, much more than
normal crops of grains suitable for
feeds in the dairy ration.
The methods used and the re-
suits obtained will be explained in
detail by Mr.. Away at the Crow
Wing Station at 1:30 p. m. July 9.
The importance of the results to
the farms of the counties in which
similar conditions exist will be dis
cussed by H. R. Searles dairy spec
ialist of the extension division,
University Farm, st. Paul, Mr..
Scales subject will be Rye and
Alfalfa in Dairy Farming. The
forenoon from 1890 will be taken
up with an inspection of the ex-
perimental plots. For the conven-
fence of visitors, coffee and sand
witches will be on sale at noon.
The Agricultural Agent of
Stearns County hopes to have a
representative delegation of farm
ers from the sandy soils of Stearns
county attend this Field Day. Per-
haps some of the recent alfalfa
failures can be explained.

teams representing the various
units has been arranged. An elabor-
ate cup for the team winners has
been provided. The Juniors have
heard much about the splendid
green's of the Sank Centre Club
and they are axious to try them
out.
The fishing possibilities of Sank
and nearby lakes also carries an
appeal.

apolis, Duluth and st. Cloud indi-
cate that this convention will
bring at least 100 of the live wires
of the younger business and pro-
fessional men of these cities to the
convention.

Earl Brown
Given Good
Endorsement
Nominated as Republican Can
didate for Governor by
Big Majority
VERY LIGHT VOTE CAST
Congressional Nominees of
All Parties Are Very
Badly Muddled

The citizenry of Minnesota re-
fused to get unduly excited over
the primary election held Monday.
Sank Centre City polled 232 of
its 1900 votes. The ratio in this
city was about the same as in 9TH
er urban centers outside the Twin
Cities and Duluth. Of this number
there were 1T Republican voters;
Democratic Is; Farmer-Labor 80;
il did not vote for Governor.
The city went strongly Republi-
can, Earl Brown polling a heavy
majority over the Tom Davis en-
try, Franklin Ellsworth.
Reports from the state as whole
up to and including Wednesday, in
dictate that Mr.. Browns majority
will exceed 125,000 and may reach
10000.
One of the surprises of the pri-
maries was the capture of the
Democratic organization by the
"Rump" ticket This group is
avowedly wet and are for AL Smith
for President. They nominated
their candidate for Governor, At
torney Reagan, of Mankato, late re-
turns indicate. They have also
captured at least six of the nine
Congressional candidates.
The Congressional nominees are
in a badly mixed state. 1t appears
at this writing, Wednesday that at
least four of the present Congress-
men have been eliminated by the
Republicans. Congressman w. I.
Nolan, Ex-Governor Christensen,
former State Auditor Ray Chase
lead the ticket. N. j. Holberg, was
apparently out of the running late
Tuesday but as the returns from
the country come in he has jumped
from 18th to sixth place and is APP
parently nominated. None of the
others except the first four men
toned, are sure of the nomination.
On the Farmer-Labor ballot Mag
nus johnson, Lieutenant Governor
Henry Arens and Congressman
Qvale, of the old Seventh, appear
to be sure of the nomination.
AS indicated in the Herald of last
week MlHHcdpOilS Will VIC wy tASA'J
with Congressional candidates at
the November election.
The people of Western Stearns
did not have a county ballot as
there was no competition for
judge of probate and only two can
didates filed for the legislature and
both automatically will be placed on
the ballot at the general election.
Andrew H. Hendrickson, well
known Kandota township pioneer
and farmer, Congressional candi-
date on the Frmer-Labor ticket, re
ceived a fine vote in this city and
surrounding townships where he is
best known. The gentleman de-
served this tribute of confidence by
his party. Late returns over the
state, however, indicate that he has
been defeated.

Sank Centre 1; Belgrade 6

Over-confidence resulted in dis
astrous defeat for Sank Centre
Sunday, when Belgrade took them
to the cleaners to the tune of 6 to
1. Lohn, pitcher for Belgrade, held
the locals to two lonely hits, both
being made in the eighth inning.
Maelen Olson, of Little Sank, star
second baseman of last years team,
was again in the lineup Sunday, but
sadly out of place. Maelen is only
an infielder and was sent to the out
field, position he has never tried
to play.
The first inning started out favor
able for both teams, and all bat
tiers went down in order. In the
second frame Belgrade made their
first run, when H. Anderson, catch
er and hard hitter, was safe on a
single; c. Lohn, pitcher, famed /;
GlauvitZ also whitfield the air; Mad
son was safe on a hit scoring An
derson; Mohs was safe on an err
ror at short; Madison attempted to
score, and would have been safe,
had he touched the plate, but he
overran, and when he attempted to
touch the rubber he was tagged by
Hopkins for the putout. One run,
two hits and one error. In our
half of the second, Iwinski lined a
fairly hot one sto third who missed
the ball; he was sent to second
when Klar was taken at first base
on his ground ball to second; Olson
was out third to first and Hopkins
followed suit.
Belgrade made two more scores
in the third frame when Gersten-
korn hit safe; Anderson advanced
him to second with a bunt taken
pitcher to first; Sonstegard hit safe,
Gerstenkorn going to third; Lohn
famed and Sonstegard advanced to
second; both men scored on H.
Anderson's second hit of the game.
Two runs, three hits no errors.
Sank Centre went down in order
in the last half of the third.
In the fourth inning Belgrade re-
ceived another hit, but Madison
died on first. Sank Centre went
down in order in their half of this
frame, although Butch last man up
received a safe ground hit over
third which was called a foul by
the Belgrade umpire.
The fifth inning proved to be an
other jinx and this time the ami
mails took part. Anderson was
safe at first on missed third
strike, advancing to second when
a dog grabbed the ball and at
tempted to lead Hopkins around
the race track. Hopkins says that
was doggone rotten break for the
home team. Sonstegard hit safe
advancing Anderson; Lohn drove
