HUNTSMEN SHOULD
BE. CAREFUL OF FIRES

With the approach of the 1884 fall
hunting season, sportsmen are re-
quested to exercise extreme care with
fire in the forests. Recent dry periods
and high winds have put the forests
in an inflammable condition and lit
tie care by those using the woods
for hunting and recreational purposes
will go a long way in preventing
forest fires and preserving game for
the future.

This year, there was great en-
ergy shown by the Republican can
didates. With a pronounced anti
Richie sentiment so forcibly exhibited
in the primaries with dissatisfac-
ton engendered in the county by GER
tain malcontents; and with press in
fluence unknown for years in Worces--
ter exerted in favor of the Republicans.
great hope was entertained by the
Democratic opposition, that this was
a year when the county would pass
under Republican domination. The
Grand Old Party nominees went to
work with will certain that Novem-
Der would spell Democratic doom.
But while at this writing the official
returns are not available 1t seems GER
tain that every candidate on county
ticket has gone over with majorities
running from 800 to 800 or slightly
more. The fight put up by the Re-
publicans was Unexpectedly barren Of
results, but it was entirely what
should have been expected when the
overwhelming majority of Democratic;
voters in the county is taken into con-
sideration.
There were very few changes in
the county in the personnel of it's Of
flee holders. A new States Attorney,
Thomas F. Johnson, succeeds Godfrey
Child, Esq, Samuel E. Shockley takes
the place Of Elliott Marshall; Ernest
C. West will take on the duties Of
Sheriff; and Samuel E. Brimer and
Clarence E. Robertson fall heir to the
seats in the Maryland Legislation, va
Gated by the late Messrs. Long and
Fooks. Senator Veasey, Charles L.
Mason, Thomas Y. Franklin, Miss
Bessie Bowen, DR.. Paul Jones, Roger
w. Landlord, Isaac J. Davis, John
H. Gilliss and William II. Godfrey
all will be indicted into office for an
other term Of service. These are all
good men and true, and the county is
safe in their hands.
For the judgeship. much satisfaction
is felt at the choice of the people in
the person of James M. Crockett, ESQ,
for Judge in the First Judicial Dis
trict. The District is fortunate in Sc
curing such representative for the
Bench, and a capable, industrious,
honest, administration must follow his
elevation. The right man is in the
right place.
In the State, early returns from Bal
timore City indicated leads for Richie
which were construed by party cam
paign managers to insure a city ma
jority Of $4,000 or more for the Gov
ernor. But as the polls began to re-
port it was seen that this estimate
would surely not materialize.
Baltimore City finally showed 1000
as the Richie majority, and it was
sensed this would not be large enough
to offset the adverse majorities from
the counties. AS reports came rolling
in, the $1,000 gradually faded out.
and the final count showed Harry w.
Nice to be from 1000 to 5000 ahead,
and therefore, elected. The result,
was Of course, brought about by

Supreme Court
Upholds Sweno
Declares He Defeated M. e.
Clutches as Commissioners Fifth
District, Todd County

A decision handed down last
week by Justice Stone, of the Min
nesota Supreme Court, is Of more
than passing Importance to the
residents of the Fifth Commission
er district in Todd County.
At the 1882 election Henry Swe-
no, of Little Sank township, was u
candidate for commissioner against
the incumbent, M. e. Clutches, Of
Gordon township.
The canvassing board declared
Mr.. Clutches was elected by a ma
jority of three votes. Mr.. Sweno
was not satisfied with the result
and instituted proceedings in the
Todd County District Court, chal-
longing Mr.. Clutches election. There
were three or more contested bal
lots.
When the case was tried before
the District Court the decision of
the canvassing board was upheld
and MIR. Clutches retained his job
as one of the county dads.
Mr.. Sweno carried the case to
the Supreme Court of Minnesota.
Justice Stone wrote the decision, re-
versing the findings of the lower,
and declared Mr.. Sweno elected by
a majority of one vote. He as
sumes his official duties more than
a year after his election was held.

Corn-Hog Plan Explained
by County Agent
E. G.. Lenzmeier Clears Up
Many Problems Bothering
the Farmers

FARMERS who have leased land to
the government under the corn
hog or wheat reduction contracts
should not expect to raise substan-
tial quantities of agricultural pro-
duction on this land during the
period of their leases, according to
e. c. Lenzmeier, county agent.
"A land owner who leased part
of his acreage to another person
for high cash rental would not
expect to have the privilege Of
raising crops on such land, even If
the renter for some reason were
unable to crop it himself" he says.
I'm the same way, there is no valid
reason why a land owner should
be allowed to lease his land to the
government for handsome consid-
Grafton and then farm it himself
during the period of the lease.
''The prime purpose of the agri-
cultural adjustment program is TO
reduce the production of all COM
modities that are produced in lar
ger quantities than are needed to
supply the existing demand and af-
ford farmers a fair price. It will
not help the dairy farmer if the
wheat raiser who has leased part
of his land to the government is al
lowed to put this land into feed
crops and go into the dairy bust
ness; or will it help the wheat
farmer If the dairyman who is be-
ing maid for reducinp his herd ia
allowed to replace feed crops with
wheat. The whole program must
be carried out in a spirit of coop
GRAFTON if it is to succeed"
These programs offer farmers
the opportunity to get their land
into better shape for future crops.

and pasture crops which have been

Drouth Situation Is
Reported Very Acute
CONTINUED From Page One)

During the late fall and winter
$1,000 bushels of grain and IS car
loads of hay were distributed to the
farmers of Western Stearns, valu ed
approximately at $4,000.
The Federal government is be-
hind with the allotments and there
is much actual need in the terri
tory Immediately adjacent to Sank
Centre at this writing. An average
of so people are calling on Mr..
Morse every day begging for grain
to keep their livestock and poultry
alive. Without bushel on hand, ne
Cannot serve them.
AT a meeting of the directors of
the Community Club, held Monday
afternoon Mr.. Morse rendered his
resignation as secretary Of the re-
lief work. He said he could not
afford to give his entire time to
carry on this work without COM
pensation, as much as he would
like to.
For the next six weeks the stu
alton will remain very acute. Sec
rotary J. H. Hansen of the Com
munity Club was instructed to get
in immediate communication with
A. T. Forsberg, st. Paul, State
Federal drouth supervisor, explain
ing the condition in detail and the
absolute necessity of keeping Mr..
Morse on the pay roll. Because of
having been instrumental in or
ganizing the set-up he is better
qualified than any one else could
possibly be to carry it out to its
conclusion. His work with the
farmers has been satisfactory.
The men who have worked with
Mr.. Morse on the committee and
the hundreds of farmers in the ter
ritory appreciate the efficiency and
the fairness with which he has
handled the situation.

Workers on CWA
Are Being Cut Down
Confined from Page One,

tire expends much more than this
amount each month for poor re-
lief. Melrose city, $500 per month;
Grove and Greenwald, Metre Grove
villages, $3.50 per month. Crow
Lake, Belgrade village, $500 per
month.
Mrs. Moynihan explained that in
townships where there were isuffi-
cfent funds in the poor fund the
amount must be taken from the
general fund.
In return for this the Fedora
government will expend up to $500
for every dollar expended by the
townships.
To make the plan success every
clerk Of every subdivision must
file a detailed report not later than
the fifth of each month showing
just how the money was expended,
giving the name of the beneficiary.
The Federal government insists on
these reports promptly in order
that it may know which sub-divis-
ion is doing it's duty. In cases
where failure to make reports are
noted the relief will be withdrawn.
I'm discussing the CWA work in
the county Mrs. Moynihan stated
that Tuesday morning just before
she left her offices in st. Cloud she
received a wire from Washington
directing another reduction of the
number of CWA employees. A
month ago 1928 were given en-
ployment in Stearns county. Under
the newest ruling the number will
be reduced to 1902 by the end of
the week. It was predicted that
the number would be still further
decreased as the available funds di-
minish and may be done away with
entirely within few weeks.
Mrs. Moynihan stated that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his advisors had
a relief plan for unemployed to
become effective early in May. She
predicted that the new schedule
would call for less per hour pay.
Since the work started more than
$350,O00 in cash had been expended
in this county. The government
has also distributed 100000 pounds
of pork 1000 pounds of butter l.
400 cans of beef and 300 blankets
in Stearns county.
Two commissioner districts re-
main to be signed up. The work
will be completed this week after
which Stearns county will have
100 per cent support of the latest
Federal Relief plan.
