A Gentle Solicitude.
Our new policeman is a JOY,
A hero readymade.
'Mongst circumstances that annoy,
He's calm and unafraid.
He has a pistol, oiled with care,
To guard him in fray.

To lead this youth astray!

AUGUST RETREAT AT ST.
JOHNS ABBEY

Men in this vicinity viii have an
opportunity to attend the second
English retreat of the summer at
st. Johns Abbey from August 16-
Is. The opening conference will
begin at 8 p. m, Friday evening.
The closing exercises will take
place at 4 p. M, on the following
Sunday afternoon. Rev. Charles
Cannon, o. s. B., pastor of many
years experience and who conduct
ed the June retreat this year, will
lead the exercises.
The large College building with
its one-hundred and ten private
rooms gives each man the privacy
Of an Individual room. The calm
and beauty of the Abbey surround
ings offer the men an excellent
opportunity to examine how Christ
and His eternal teachings are in
fluencing their everyday life.
AS has been the custom in past
years, there are no specific charges
for the retreat. A free-will offer
ing is made by the retreatant to
meet the necessary expenses. Those
who cannot make this offering are,
however, most welcome. For res

pleted action on the must" meas
ure and rebuffed President Roose-
welt on the corporation charity gift
exemption issue.
Over continued protests Of the
President, the house without even
a record vote wrote into the social
reform revenue measure a pro-
vision exempling corporations
from taxation on gifts to charity.
The amendment sponsored by
house ways and means committee
democrats, was the only change
made in the bill by the house. Tax
experts said 1t would reduce the
net yield from the bill, with its
new inheritance gift, excess profits
and personal income tax increases,
to $3.50, 100000. AS brought into the
house, the measure would have
raised s270, 100000.
Advocates Of share-the-wealth
proposals, opponents of the gradu-
ated corporation tax which was
fought by organized business and
all went down to defeat as the adj
journment yearning house rushed
the bill past the amendment stage.
The charity exemption amend
ment exempts from taxation up to
5 per cent corporation income when
used for charitable purposes. The
President last week charged the
proposal would enable corporations
to utilize such gifts for propagan-
da purposes. Organized charities
have fought for the amendment on
grounds that their humanitarian
efforts would be seriously restrict
ed otherwise.
At present corporations are al
lowed certain restricted tax ex-
emptions on charity contributions.
For example, a contribution to a
hospital which cares for the bulk
Of a factory's employees would be
exempt. The new provision, spon-
sored by Representative John Nc
Cormack, (dem. Mass.), permits ex-
emptions for all charitable gifts
definitely not Of propaganda char
acter.
The house rebuffed organized
business by upholding, SO to 40, the
restricted graduated corporation
tax provision of the bill-a new
tax principle advocated strongly
by President Roosevelt.
The new tax is a tax on big
ness" Corporations having net in
comes in excess Of $4,000 a year
hereafter would pay IAN per cent
on net income. Those making less
than $4,000 would have reduc-
ton of one-half per cent from the
present Is rate.
AS virtually approved by the
house, the bill rs the same as that
reported by the ways and means
committee Wednesday. It carries
higher personal income taxes on
$4,000 earnings and above, impos-
es new gift and inheritance taxes
affecting gifts and inheritances as
low as $4,000 and imposes new
excess profits levies on corpora
tons.
Senate leaders hope to bring the
bill up for action possibly late next
week. Despite complete breakdown

NORTHWESTS FARM
OUTLOOK GREATLY
IMPROVED FOR '35

1.-THE Improvement in farm and
business conditions, begun last fall
in areas of the Northwest where
crop conditions were average or
above, promises to become general
in this territory this fall if present
crop prospects materialize," pre-
diets Andrew Boss, vice director
of the Minnesota Experiment Sta,
ton and state director of AAA pro-
grams, University Farm, st. Paul.
I'm spite of serious rust damage
to wheat crop prospects, on the
whole, in the Northwest, are the
best they have been in several
years." he says. Furthermore,
the 1888 and 1884 drouth and agri-
cultural adjustment programs have
reduced the nations reserve sup
plies of crops, livestock and live
stock products to a level that will
probably yield farmers at least
fair prices. Whether or not the
present level of prices can be main
tanned will depend on the continual
ton of industrial recovery, but
many business forecasters now be-
lieve that such recovery is virtually
assured. Some of the more opti-
mistic are even predicting the be-
ginning, this summer or fall, of a
modest industrial boom"
The agricultural adjustment pro-
grams, in Mr.. Boss's opinion, have
helped to lay the foundation for
industrial improvement, and will
be needed to complete the super
structure Of this movement.
These programs have helped to
narrow the spread between the
purchasing power Of our major
farm commodities and that of in
dustrial products which the far
mer must buy for family living and
for operating production to effec.
tive demand, and by paying him
cash benefits" based on his pro.

duction, which tend to offset the dis
advantage under which he operates
as a producer Of export commodi-
ties, usually sold at lower-than-
domestic prices because they re-
ceive little or no benefit from the
tariff.
"The lack of farm puying power
hos been a serious obstacle to ma
tional economic recovery ever since
the World War. Experience mas
shown that no nation can win per
manent prosperity while any con-
siderable part Of its population Is
down and out"

tural adjustment programs, Is com

tors have increased the incone'

during the last two years Is citeo

county. Minnesota, agricuiturai
records.
Tn 1882, the farmers Of this coun.
nv received an estimated totai Oh
81 1877 GAS. so from the sale OF corn
hogs and wheat. In 1884, they re-
ceiyed s2,55s,O17 from the sale OF
smaller quantities of these products
and. in addition, $819,0 900 IN ADJUST,
noent nayments. Sales receipts ana
adjustment payments combined, ,or
1884 amounted to about $3'Su,ii''
or about 1873 per cent more than
the 1892 sales receipts. Compared
With the 1888 sales receipts ana
benefit payments, the 1884 lncome
srono these sources was 81 per cent
greater. ,,r
ties of the 1888 and 1884 drou.n
areas would be valueless, Mr.. BOSS
cows @because of crop faliure'
Farm income for 1884 in such areas,
however. was much larger than II
would have been without the ad-
iustment programs, because OF tne
adjustment payments, which were
based on the individual grower
mast rather than his 1884, produc-
ton record.
"Farmers have used this increas-
ed income chiefly to pay up DEUS
keep up their taxes and to repair
and replace farm and home quip-
ment. Many farmers have also re-
nlaced their cars and trucks with
new or better used machines.

HOG CHOLERA PEAK IS
REACHED IN SEPTEMBER

Few farmers would relish having
hog cholera get into their herds
this year, with hog prices now the
highest since 1880 and continued
up-trend in prospect. Yet the threat
of cholera hangs constantly over
every herd that has not been vac
cinated and from now on through
September the risk will steadily in
crease.
Records kept for 20 years by the
division of veterinary medicine,
University Farm, st. Paul, show
that in Minnesota, the number Of
cases begins to increase in July.
The spread continues through
August reaching the peak in
September.
Notwithstanding that hog chol-
era is the most important infect
ious and contagious disease of
swine, no farmer should need fear
it If his herd has been properly inn
munized, says DR.. H. c. H. Kern
kamp, Of the University Farm vet
Urinary staff. This means that each
pig has been given the proper
amount Of hog cholera antiserum
and hog cholera virus Of good quail
ity by competent veterinarian.
Though the best time to vaccin-
ate pig Is when 1t weighs about 80
pounds, the treatment can be given
at any time later. This method Is
the only successful prevention for
cholera and is one of the most re-
liable preventives ever devised for
any disease Of either man or ami
NAL. The only time proper treat
ment fails is when pigs are suffer
ing from some other disease or a
condition that interferes with the
normal action Of the vaccine.
In view Of the heavy loss caused
by cholera and the effectiveness of
proper vaccination, no farmer can
afford to take chances, says DR..
Kernkamp. Many farmers lose
enough from cholera in one year
to pay for vaccination the rest of
their lives.
