ACCUSE PRESIDENT.
.0F DANGLING BAIT.
Campaigning Republicans
Point to Announcement
of Federal Projects.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Campaigning Republicans yester-
day accused President Roosevelt Of
dangling bait" before voters by
authorizing Democratic candidates
to announce Federal surveys of huge
projects costing millions Of dollars.
Aiming directly at the Chief Exec
utive, Senator Hastings, Republican,
Of Delaware, said the announcement
at the White House Monday Of power
surveys of the upper Ohio and Della
ware Rivers "is either q direct bid
of $57 100000 of the taxpayers money
for the voters Of Pennsylvania or it
is another fake, comparable to the
Passamaquoddy project in Maine, de-
signed solely to influence votes by a
promise which there is not the slight
est intention of keeping"
Refers to Keystoners.

publican Senatorial Congressional
Committee, referred to the announce
ment made by George H. Earle and

dy" tidal power project on the Bay
Of Fundy before the elections in
Maine September 10.
President Roosevelt and his New
Deal are now trying to 'quoddyize'
Pennsylvania as he did in Maine" ;"
Hastings asserted, adding, THE in
stance shows just where the Presi-
dent stands in the dangling of bait
for the voter"
Almost simultaneously with the is
suance of Hastings charges. George
Creel of California emerged from the
White House and announced an i'm
mediate preliminary survey would be
made on the proposed Central VAL
ley power and irrigation project in
that State. Its estimated cost is
$4,000, 900.
Creel, classed as conservative
Democrat, said at the same time,
however. that he was returning to
California to ascertain If Upton Sin
clair, former Socialist, who defeated
him for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, is standing upon the Democratic
platform.
Byrnes Takes Charge.
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, Of South
Carolina. arrived yesterday and took
charge of the investigation being made
into allegations of excessive expendi-
lures in senatorial campaigns in
Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Mexico
and Tennessee.
AS chairman of the Senatorial Cam
paign Expenditures Committee, Byrnes
contacted investigators sent to the
four States.
Chairman Byrnes said in a state
ment that Gov. Clifford Pinchot, who
announced he was supporting Senator
David A. Reed Republican, as the best
of a bad bargain" had offered to
furnish information about Pennsyl-
vania expenditures and urged an in
vestigation by the committee.
Mr.. Joseph F. Guf1ey, the Demo-
cratic candidate, has also advised me
that he is willing to place before the
committee all the information in his
possession as to the expenditures In

sary or not. If ewes are relatively
thin, but thrifty in condition, they
will be decidedly benefited by ex-
ira feeding. However, if the ewes
are in high condition to start with,
flushing will not materially affect
the number of eggs shed and so
will not increase the lamb crop.
Most farm f1ocks are thin enough
when fall comes to make flushing
highly beneficial. Two or three
weeks before breeding, the ewes
should be given good pasture to put
them in a gaining condition. They
may be turned into stubble fields,
on second growth meadows, or into
corn fields to clean up the lower
leaves and broken down stalks.
Otherwise, providing rape and soy
beams pasture is a good plan.
Grain may be fed if green feed is
lacking.
Many excellent suggestions on
breeding sheep, as well as on gen.
eral feeding and management prac-
tees, are contained in special bull
letin al. A free copy may be had
from the county agent or the bull
letin office, University farm St.

point of view, he will make that
change not because the mob is go

it is the intelligent and reasonable

New Deal in Popularity Elec-
tion--Extra Votes on Accounts
No Extra Votes Will Be
Given on Contracts for
Purchase

November 9th to 18th inclusive
will feature a new deal in the Pop
ularity Election, when sponsoring
merchants will give coupons OF
votes on old open accounts.
No extra votes will be given or
bills up to sixty days old, however
bills prior to September list, wher
paid will receive double votes fol
each dollar. Triple votes will be
given on accounts six months to
one year old. These accounts
must have been made prior tc
May 1, 1894. On all accounts over
one year old, which must be prior
to November 1, 1888, 400 votes will
be given for each one dollar paid
on account.
These votes will not be given or
contract debts. The length of &C
counts will be figured from the last
payment. in other words, payments
made will be taken from the Oldest
part of the account.
The schedule of votes given on
payments of accounts as stated
above is as follows:
60 day ACCOMPLISHMENTS votes
60 days to 6 months----double votes
6 months to year triple votes
1 year and over -----.--------- 4 for one
At this time we must warn con-
testants that the rules prohibit
merchants from giving votes to
people who do not ask for them at
the time of purchase. So please do
not ask people to go back for votes
after they have neglected to ask
for them at the time of purchase.
All merchants, who gave extra
votes in last Saturdays Popularity
Sales Day, report that the event
greatly stimulated sales. A great
Increase in interest in the contest
has been noted the past week, and
as each day passes the event will
become more heated, until the great
finale the evening Of December LIST,
when the contest will positively
end.
Another rule of the campaign Is
that votes must be given only on
cash payments-no votes can be
given on notes issued to the mer-
chant.

Tests Prove Flushing Ewes In
---- creaSeS Lambs

Why flushing of thin ewes before
breeding increases the lamb crop
has been shown the experiments at
University Farm to be due to the
fact that flushing causes the ovar-
les of a eve to lfberate more eggs
thus making the eve more fertile
at mating time. Flushing means
feeding literally enough to cause
a quick gain in weight.
DR.. Richard T. Clark, of the ami
NAL husbandry division, has recent
ly published the results of two ex-
periments in which flushed and un-
flushed ewes were killed shortly af-
ter breeding and their ovaries ex-
amined for eggs. In each expert
ment, 40 ewes were used, 20 being
flushed and 20 not flushed. The
flushed ewes received enough grain
to cause good gain in weight. The
unfinished ewes received a hay ra-
ton just adequate to keep their
weight the same.
One interesting thing brought
out by these experiments is that
the condition of ewes largely de-
termine whether flushing is neces-

Signing Up the Bang Disease
Control

Opportunities for signing UP the
Bang Disease Control agreement
will soon be drawing to a close. It
is the hope of the extension office
at the Court House. st. Cloud, to
bring all this work to completion
before new projects will be started.
With several new projects in the
offing, such as the 1885 corn-hog
contract and other measures, it
will be necessary to complete the
sign-up work on bang disease in
very short time.
Up to the present time over
three hundred agreements have
been signed by livestock producers
in various parts of the county.
Sign-up meetings have been laid in
various communities of the county
and the number of agreements
signed is quite uniformly scattered
over the county. Livestock produc-
ers are urged to sign the agree
ment as soon as possible in order
to come in on the plan. whether
they had contagious abortion on
their farms recently or not. After
a year or two, with the demand for
dairy cattle again increasing, it
will be worthwhile to have a Bang
free herd, as every buyer of dairy
cattle will look for opportunities
to buy from tested herds. In adj
dition, the testing of the herd will
be a safeguard against future out
breaks.
Indemnities as high as $1,000 per
head over and above the salvage
value are made to meet the ap-
praiser's value for grade animals.
Similarly, indemnities as high as
$1,000 are made, in addition to the
salvage value. on purebred anim-
ais to meet the appraisers value.
The last sign-up meetings were held
this week at Freeport, Melrose,
Kimball, and Fair Haven. Agree
ments signed in the future must be
completed at the County Agents
office, st. Cloud, or through the
mail by furnishing the following
information; the number of females
six months to one year, whether
they are grade or purebred, the
number Of calves under six months
of age, whether grade or purebred.
Mention must also be made as to
what breed Of cattle they are and
whether the cattle are mortgaged
or clear of mortgages.

HIGHWAY PROBLEM UP FOR
SOLUTION

One of the first problems the Leg
islature will have to face when 1t
meets in January is the highway
situation. The last session added
1890 miles to the 1000 mile system,
and at the same time reduced mot.
or vehicle license fees about 40 per
cent. Despite political pros and
cons on this subject, all will agree
that after paying maintenance on
the increased mileage, and interest
and principal on bonds this leaves
little for new construction.
Luckily the federal government
came to the rescue with $40, 1856, 569
in 1888 and $5,425, 551 in 1884, with
out requiring the state to match
this fund dollar for dollar But
beginning July 1, 1885, when Min
nesota will get a new allotment OF
about $3,426,0OO, Uncle Sam will go
back to the old rule requiring the
states to match this fund $3.50. If
Minnesota cannot put up So, 5000
to match federal funds, she will get
no federal aid. By no sleight-of-
hand can the Highway Department
produce that much for construction
from it's present income, after set
ting aside what is needed for bonds,
maintenance; and other fixed
charges.
Next year also marks return to
the old rule that all federal aid
must be spent on highways desig-
mated as part Of the federal aid
system, whereas during the past
two years Is per cent must be spent
on secondary roads. Very few of
the 1900 miles added to the trunk
highway system last year have
been designated as federal aid
roads. Not only the $3,426,0 900 fed
eral aid but the So, 426, 900 which the
state will put up to match it, must
go on the federal aid roads, cores
ponding, with few exceptions, to
the original 1000 mile trunk high
way system. If any construction is
to be done on the new trunk high
ways, additional state funds must
be provided.
