FARMER-LABOR PLATFORM

The farmer-labor party of Minnesota recognizes
that the United States has the most wonderful re-
sources, great factories, machinery production,
steam power and electric power and millions of cap
able and farmers ready and able to produce
food clothing and shelter in great abundance for ALL
AT this time when III of could live in prosperity

PEELED to eat the food of charity Palliative meas

commonwealth will bring economic secur and
prevent a prolonged period OF further suHer1ng

We, therefore, declare that capitalism has failed

In order to bring about this cooperative COM
monwealth and also for the purpose of adopting
legislation for the immediate relief of the people, the
farmer-labor party adopts it's platform the follow

curity of tenure the land for those who farm it.
To this end we further demand that congress pass
the Frazier bill for refnancng agricultural loans and
the Swank-Thomas bill other legislation to give
agriculture price based upon the cost of production
Exemption from taxation of homesteads in the
city and on the farms to the value of 100000.

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS

Perhaps in other industry is there such
variety of conditions in the Newspaper business.
Totalled indiscriminatey, there something over
$4,000 newspapers in the United States ranging from
the smallest country weekly which prints only two
pages in it's shop with additional pages printed
by a syndicate, to the great metropolitan dailies
which employ thousands Of persons each.
For the smallest, probably not more than rs
pounds of paper is required each week, while the
Chicago Tribune for one Sunday edition all
the paper produced from timber grown on 240 acres
Of land. W.. .,<.
According to Grove Patterson, the well-known
writer. the New York Times Employs 800 persons,
with payroll of $4,000 year. Hearsts newspapers
and magazines more than $50,OO0,O00 worth of
paper year.
But in spite of the disparity between the smallest
and the largest of American newspapers. the publish
of the small country weekly need not be overawed
by the size of his metropolitan rival The local
paper has place in the life of its community which
the great daies not usurp If the local publisher
is alive to his opportunities and makes the most Of
them.
Now, always, the hometown newspaper is the
best and cleanest exponent of constructive journal
ism.

negative side of the question.
Tomorrow, Friday, John Costello,
for many years the efficient Chief
of Police of this city, will leave for

TRUTHFUL ADVERTISING

Usually the argument is made that every bust
ness concern should advertise, but there excep
TONS In fact, concerns hardly dare to adver-
tise, because they can not make good according to
the requirements of modern business practice
When advertising Is untruthful misleading 1t
does more harm than good. Only enterprise which
fulfls the promises made in it's advertising
stand the spotlight Of publicity. Hence, when we
find a store other business establishment boldly
advertising its wares service, month after month
and year after year, may generally conclude that
it can and does give real values.
Observing the advertised businesses of any
munity, large smal. will enable to identify
the most dependable concerns in that community.
Only efficient and reputable establishments dare to
advertise.

Evergreens are popular with
everybody, but many seem to think
that they cannot grow them. They
are more expensive than the de-
cidous trees and require somewhat
more care in transplanting, but
when the right kinds are grown
and given intelligent care, they
are the most useful of all trees in
our climate, as they hold their fol-
iage through the long and cheer
less winters, when they are needed
to break the force of storms to re-
leive the monotonous gray of the
landscape. There really is no ex.
cuse for leaving our homes without
the winter cheer cf their warmth
and beauty. Small transplanted
trees set in any land fit to raise
a good crop of corn, and cultivated
with horse and hoe as corn will
grow rapidly. They will not thrive
in grass or weeds any better than
corn will. When double rows are
planted fourteen feet to sixteen fet
one way and eight the other is
recommended. The only secret in
handling evergreens is to keep the
roots moist in every way, from the
time they are lifted out of the
ground until they are planted again.
In planting, be careful to pack the
dirt about the roots with exceeding
f1rmness, or the swaying of the
tops in the wind will loosen their
hold on the soil. The surface
should of course be left loose and
open as dust mulch.
Never use manure when setting
the trees. If planting a windbreak,
cultivate the soil all summer. the
same as corn, or if individual trees
are set in your yard, keep sur
rounding soil mellow and free from
weeds. In extremely dry weathr,
watering is helpful. Chicken will
not hurt them but other stock must
be kept away. And beware, if the
roots are exposed to the sun and
air for a very short time, they are
likely to die.
In other words, if the nature of
the trees are understood, they are
not so difficult to handle after all.

Freedom of Speech

Freedom of Speech
I'VE believe that friends of speech, press and as

Relief
Relief in time of Emergency should be given to
the needy without regard to party affiliaton. The
distribution of relief should take the form of giving
to the recipient the opportunity of entering into le

Highways
"The construction and maintenance of highways
involves an enormous sum of money and places a
severe burden upon owners of motor vehicles. All
bids for construction work should be made in strict
conformity with law without prejudice favorism
rather than by executive order. We advocate the
employment of local labor on all public work.
Appointment to Office
Honesty demands that appointment to public
office should be given to the individual best qualineo

not depend in any respect upon his willingness

PUBLIC FUNDS WASTED

A classic illustration Of the habituaI waste Of
public funds at the behest of bureaucrats and their
congressional supporters was presented by Senator
Tess, Of Ohio in referring to the valuation bureau
of the Interstate Commerce Commission
This bureau was organized in pursuance of an
act of Congress approved March /. 1913, for the
avowed purpose of determining the value Of all rail-
road property in the United States In order that
valuation might be used for ratenaking purposes;
also to disclose whether the railroads paying
dividends watered stock
Referring to this M-year-old bureau, Senator
Tess said "To date the bureau has accomplished
almost nothing and the cost has been upwards Of
S100O00000. It Is true that the bureau has placed

Cows Drown As Water Fills Barn

LAKE CITY-Twenty-two head of dairy cattle,
mostly Hosteins and Guernseys, were drowned in
the basement of the barn on the Charles Berg farm
mile from Lake City last week when torrents of
water from the heavy rain and melting snow rushed
from the hills through the bitches and coulees head
ed for Lake Pepin. Tons of water poured over the
Berg property flowed into the barn basement filing
it almost completely Berg went to the barn about
$50 A. NJ, and discovered the water which was not
yet high enough to drown the cattle. Although he
losened of the cows he could not get it out of
the barn. The fire department was called to pump
out the water but before it arrived the level was
above the of the cattle. The loss which will
close to $4,000, is believed to have been caused
by change in the grade of the road former tenants
saying they had never been troubled by water, even
in flood times.

TREASURY TERMS
HELD ATTRACTIVE
Called Moderately Better
Than Those Available
on Market.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, September 10.-Wall
Street regarded the terms Of the
Treasury's $1,725 200, 900 financing as
attractive today.
The offer to exchange their new 3A
1912 year bonds for new 21a per cent
four-year notes for the $1,250, ,000, 900
of called Liberty fourth AZ per cents,
together with provision for a premium
of an extra months interest, gave the
holders of these Liberties terms mod
erately better than available in the
current market.
per cents is the Treasury 314 per cent
issue of 1944-46, and that closed on
Saturday at 100 1916, or on a yield
basis of 315 per cent or a little less.
Government bonds eased trif1e in
the early dealings today, which was
not considered surprising in view OF
the attractive yield basis of the new
offering. The Treasury 3A per cents
of 1944-46 slid off 1-16 Of point
during the first hour to 100A.
The Liberties are called as of Oc-
tober Is, and holders who exchange
them for the new bonds or notes as
of September Is will be paid full in
terest to October Is, while the interest
on their new obligations will start on
September IS.
One-year ~ per cent notes offered
in exchange for $525, 600, 900 in Treas
ury certificates maturing as of Sep
tember Is were considered attractive.
These certificates are largely held by
banks, and the terms of the new offer
were considered good enough to assure
virtually complete exchange.
