COMMON DECENCY PAYS IN POLITICS

After daily use of the radio for weeks
traducing the good name and motives of
Earle Brown, choice of the Republican con-
ference for Governor, the notorious pair of
political mountebankS, Tom Davis and Frank
lin Ellsworth, have been soundly repudiated
by the citzenry of Minnesota.
Davis held a personally conducted "con-
ference at the West Hotel Minneapolis, at
which he insisted that the progressive" Re-
publicans of the state must have candidate
for Governor to oppose Mr.. Brown at the
Primaries. He nominated Mr. Ellsworth as
the Moses" and the "Progressives" were off
to a running start.
The fact that both Davis and Ellsworth
have been candidates for the Farmer-Labor
nomination in former years, did not deter
them.
They probably did not expect to nomi-
nate Ellsworth but did hope to so cripple
Mr.. Brown politically, that he would be easy
picking for Gov. Floyd Olson in November
The people of Minnesota are quite familiar
with the record of MIR. Brown, the outstand-
ing salary dodger" in political and public
life in this state. Their verdict was pro-
nOunced in no uncertain terms at Mondays
primaries. His lead over Ellsworth, with
less than 70 per cent statewide vote, will
be in excess of 125 900.
Davis and Ellsworth claimed that the
party conference drafting Mr.. Brown attend
ed by nearly 1000 Republican men and wo-
men from every corner of the state, was con-
trolled by "big business" the favorite war
cry of every demagogue and political mounte-
bank, everywhere.
The conference was attended by earnest
men and women with the sole purpose of
harmonizing the party, and indorse high
type candidates for state Offices The people
of the state, however, had confidence in the
conference and nominated every man and
woman Endorsed. The brunt of the attack,
however, was made on MIR. Brown.
The result of this unwarranted on
slaught demonstrates quite clearly that COM
mon decency is the best policy to follow,
even in politics.

COUNTIES o FTHE u. S.

Some facts regarding the area, popula-
ton and other statistics concerning counties
in the United States may be of interest.
There are 3,O72 counties in the 48
states, of which Texas has the greatest num-
Der, 254, and Delaware the smallest num-
Der, 3.
San Bernardino county, in California, is
the largest, with an area of POTTS square
miles. New York county is the smallest,
with an area of only 22 square miles. Bris-
tol county, in Rhode Island, is the next
smallest, with "a square miles.
Citing another case of extremes, Arm
strong county, in South Dakota, with an area
of $40 square miles, has no postoffice, while
Allegheny county, in Pennsylvania, with 725
square miles, has $50 postoffices.
And speaking of postofices, Leadville,
Colo, is the highest, being 1O,190 feet above
sea level, while Calipotria, Calf, Its feet be-
low sea level, is the lowest.
North Carolina and Virginia have ex-
actly 100 counties each. States having more
than 100 counties are Illinois, 1902; Kansas,
los; Missouri, ia; Kentucky, 12O; Georgia,
161; Texas, 254.
One state, Louisiana, has no counties.
But this does not mean that it has no political
subdivisions as other states have. In LOUIS
lana these subdivisions are called parishes, of
which the state has 81.

est work during the past twelve
months in behalf of the unemploy-
ed and needy.
This information has just been re-
ceived from National Adjutant
James Bartin at Indianapolis by
J. w. Teller, commander of Will
liam T. Mccoy Post No. 80. The
award, Mr.. Barton said, was based
not only on the written reports of
the competing posts, but upon a
personal investigation made by
representative of Legion national
headquarters, who visited half a
dozen communities of the leading
contestants throughout the country
According to Commander Teller,
the entire community is arranging
a celebration, the date to be fixed
later, to mark the winning of this
Commander Teller points out, be-
cause all Rochester citizens and or
CARNATIONS had a part in the good
work which merited the award.
Here are some facts about Roch-
ester's welfare achievements:
The Rochester Legion-Auxiliary
welfare organization is composed
of ten subdivisions, of which five
Legion bodies look after 0) hous-
ing, CD food 90 transportation,
(4 funds. 90 employment promo
ton. Meanwhile the five Legion
Auxiliary subcommittee include
those of the contact workers, GU
the solicitors, 60 sewing, (4 de-
livery, 90 recordkeeping.
Each subcommittee also has it's
sub divisions. For instance within
the Legion food committee the bak-
cries, restaurants and hotels are
covered by the city food solicitors
while the country food solicitors
work through the teachers and
county commissioners. The Boy
Scouts and DeMolay chapter take
care of food delivery.
Within three months of the or
ganization of the Rochester Wei
fare body, food and clothing had
been distributed to 1926 people, up
wards. of forty families were fed
daily, and hundreds of jobs were
secured for the unemployed.

they sho do now. We are getting

To lose fat the safe, sane way
take one-half teaspoonful of Krus-

fore breakfast every morning-eat
less fatty meats, potatoes and
sweets-a jar that costs but small
sum lasts 4 weeks. Get it at o. w.
Dowswell's or any drugstore in the
world-but be sure for your health's
sake to ask for and get Kruschen

does it.

FARMER GIVES VIEWS OF DEPRESSION

FREEDOMS ANNIVERSARY

On July the American people will cele-
brate the 156th anniversary of the Declara-
ton of Independence, that immortal docu-
ment which was made effective through the
blood of our illustrious forefathers and
which was intended to vouchsafe to citizens
of this nation the right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
1t is highly fitting that this historic
date should be celebrated. 1t is also fitting
that the principles enunciated in the Declara-
tion should be reaffirmed, as they will be, by
orators throughout the land.
1t might also be we'll to recall on this
occasion the important privileges set forth in
the first ten amendments to the Constitution,
popularity known as the Bill of Rights.
But, without disparaging the accomp
lishments and progress which have been
made in these 156 years, it is pertinent to
inquire just what measure of liberty, free
dom and independence is accorded to the av.
erage American citizen in this year of 1882.
Is he not encompassed with multitude
of laws, regulations and restrictions exceed
ing those imposed upon any other supposed.
ly freeman? Is he not subjected to the
whims of an army of investigators, spies and
shoppers which he must support out of his
slender earnings under present adverse con-
ditions? Are the people secure in their per-
sons, houses, papers and effects, against un-
reasonable searches and seizures" as con-
templated by the Fourth Amendment?
Honest answers to these vital questions
will indicate just how enthusiastically we
may indulge in celebrating the coming
Fourth of July.

CANTALOUPE SEASON ABOUT OVER
HARRIGANS REPORT DECLARES

Cantaloupe shipments are prac-
tically over for this season. Honey
dews, honeyballs, watermelons and
grapes will continue quite steady
until August, according to the June
report of B. A. Harrigan, county
agricultural commissioner.
The indications are that the to-
tai number of cars shipped will be
less than for any previous season
for several years. The regulation
of shipments through the canta-
loupe clearing house has had
tendency to stabilize the market to
such an extent over a period of
three weeks that it has allowed
the majority of growers and ship
pers to break even on the deal
thus far this season.
With continued good quality of
honeydews, and honeyballs to be
shipped in July, combined with fa-
vorable marketing, it is reasonable
to believe that the financial results
may show better at the end of the
season.
The following goods were inspect
ed and passed into Imperial coun-
ty during the month:
Twelve chrysanthemum plants,
limequats, cactus plant, sacks
lettuce seed, shipment household
goods, 5 car loads bananas, 2 car

Local Team To
Play San Diego

Going up against the toughest
combination in the teams history,
the Maggie Fat Boys regulation
baseball team Saturday and Sum-

San Diego.
How the locals managed to snag
game with San Diego is mys-
terry, for the All-Stars heretofore
have contested only teams of ma
tional importance. They have met
and defeated such teams as the
Nashville and Philadelphia Royal
Colored All-Stars, Marty Krug's and
Joe E. Browns All-Stars of Los An
geles, and the Hollywood Stars,
coast league champs.
The San Diego team is COM
posed chiefly of former major and
coast league players. Maggios how
ever, remain confident of the
games outcome. Ridge and Austin
will pitch for the locals.
The record of the Maggio's reg
ulation team is nothing to be
sneezed at. Until Maggie placed a
team in the Ell Centre night base
ball league, specializing in indoor
baseball, the name of Maggie was
synonymous with victory.
