STATE FAIR WILL
SPONSOR TRAP SHOOT

An army of trapshoOters from all
parts of the nation will compete in
the first annual Northwestern Glass
Championship tournament to be spon-
sored by the Minnesota State Fair as
one of its many features in connec-
tion with the Diamond Jubilee cele-
bration, Sept. 1 to s.
The tournament, which will be a
registered-classified two-day shoot,
will be held under the auspices of the
Twin City Shooting Association, and
scatter-gun experts from coast to
coast will compete, according to Har-
~ w. Maginnis, nationally famous
sportsman of Minneapolis, who will be
in charge of the details.
Eighteen beautiful trophies, in adj
djtion to a cup emblematic of the
alI-round championship, will be
awarded to the winners. Such noted
shots as Frank TrOeh of Portland,
Ore, Mark Arie of Champaign, H.,
Walter Berwyn of Pennsylvania, 1888
Grand American Handicap Champion,
and others, will be among the outstand-
ing field of more than 800 entrants.
A battery of four traps will be in
stalled on Machinery Hill, providing
an unexcelled range for the contest
ants. The shoot will be held Friday
and Saturday. Sept. and 8, and there
will be three classes, entrants aver
ging SO per cent or better competing
i'm Class A; 81 to SO per cent, Class B;
and under 81 per cent, Class c.
Minnesota boasts of many crack
shots according to Mr.. Maginnis, and
a representative field of experts will
carry the state cOlors in the first an
nual competition. Entry blanks and
complete information can be obtained
by writing to the State Fair office.

AVERAGE LIVESTOCK
PRICES BETTER THAN
THIS TIME YEAR AGO

The first half of 1894 has passed
and livestock prices generally aver
aged we'll above a year ago and the
price outlook, considering future sup
plies, is encouraging, says the week
" market bulletin issued by the Gen.
trail Cooperative Association of South
st. Paul.
As the second half of the current
year started the average fat cattle
market stood $500 per cwt. above a
year ago. Hogs averaged Acc above
a year ago and fat lambs averaged
SLIGO above a year ago.
During the first six months of 1884
cattle receipts at twenty leading mar
kets of the L. S. were 5,235,000 head
or 921, 900 more than during the same
period last year. Hog receipts thus
far this year at 13,434,000 head at
twenty markets were 1,4S9,000 less
than the corresponding total last year,
and the sheep receipts 6,S64,O00 head
showed a falling OFF Of 2,S54,0 head
as compared with a year ago.
With the drouth causing liquidation
of many cattle, hogs and sheep and
the government making vast pur-
chases of livestock in drouth areas,
future supplies of livestock for mar
kets undoubtedly will be smaller. The
recent pig crop estimate of $3.50 less
this spring and $3.50 less sows to far
row this fall, also indicates small
supplies for future market.
Fewer hogs for the future is bear
ish in the corn market since it points
to reduced consumption of corn. If
hog production has been cut as much
as reports indicate, it may prove to
be too drastic a reduction. A bad
run of cholera this summer and fall
might result in a pork famine.

About thirty-five Askovites jour
neyed to Lars p. Jensen's place at
Giese for the Danish Sisterhood pic
mic Sunday. An enjoyable day is re-
ported being spent in social visiting.
Rev. and Mrs. Carl c. Rasmussen
started on their homeward journey
for Salinas, Calf, last week. They
were accompanied by Miss Harriet
Sorensen, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John H. Sorensen.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sam Battle of Los
Angeles, Calf, came Sunday for a
visit at the home of her mother, Mrs.
A. Madsen. Mr.. and Mrs. Bailie are
in the restaurant business in Los
Angeles and the opportunity for the
present vacation came through the
necessity of having their place re-
modelled and enlarged on account OF
the constant growth of the business.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hans G. Larsen ar
rived Sunday from Santa Maria, Calf,
for an indefinite visit at the home
of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Jens

protection he will not be able to
operate at profit
While some of the reactionary
newspapers have been saying that
the corporate excess tax, which has
been on our statute books for Sc years
but never enforced until now, is an
unusual tax, it is interesting to note
that eleven other states, as of 1929,
had such a tax. These states are
Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Massachusetts, Nebraska,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode
Island, and Tennessee. This tax OPP
enforcement will lower property taxes
throughout the state. It's enforcement
should be welcome as it offers relief
to small property owners, hometown
ers, farmers and business men. This
is not a capital stock tax, but part
of the general property tax providing
that intangible property as we'll as
tanglDle property De taxed. MOSt OF
the revenue goes to the local govern
ment unit, the state receiving but a
small fraction, and only about Is per
cent of the corporations of the state
will come under its provisions. When
corporations fail to meet their just
share of taxes, the load is shouldered
by the small fellow.
More than 10000 persons were en-
ployed on active ERA projects in 62

an additional payroll of $2,SS5 for 244
persons employed on drouth relief
projects.
