 While at work in ScOviIl'S Mir. Harrington operated in real es- tate and insurance; after hours, of course.

Charley Mitchell, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries and all the other big boxers down to the recent title bout between Max Baer and Jim BraddOck, the present champion.
 Politically, MT. Harrington is a Democrat. He has been in two primary battles for the mayoralty nomination. He has been a member of the board of assessors, the board of finance, and elected to the board of aI- dermen from the fifth ward. He served as president of the latter board.

I am going to speak to-day of a man of tact-a practical person-Daniel T. Harrington, well known and highly respected senior member of the real es- tate and insurance firm bearing his name.
 Daniel T. Harrington was born in Birmingham, England, June 3Oth, 1868, the son of Pat rick and Anna Vardin Earring ton. His parents were natives of Ireland. He received his early education in the public schools in Birmingham and when thirteen years old devoted one-half of each day to school and the other half to working in a machine shop. He received 75 cents a week.
 MT. Harrington arrived in America all alone in January, 1887. His mother had died four years before he decided to emil grate to the land of glorious op- portunities. He came directly to Waterbury and soon found employment at the Scovill Manufacturing Company. After two years he decided to send for his father and Patrick Harrington readily responded to the call.

Senator A. J. Rockne, of Zumbro-

Congressional
Neus Letter
(By Harold Knutson.

The House passed the Social Sc
curity bill last Friday by au over
whelming majority. The House
steamroller worked with it's usual
efficiency and we were unable to
get a single amendment adopted.
Among other things, we sought to
cut the age limit from 65 to 60
years and to increase the govern
ment aid from a maximum of SIS
per month to $40 per month, but
one and all were swept into the dis
card by impressive majorities.
The Democrats have 800 members
in the House against 113 Republi-
cans, Progressives and Farmer La
borites, so the bill, as it passed the
House, represents the position of
the Democratic party on old age
pensions.
The Capital is aghast over the
manner in which relief money has
been spent in New York Thous-
ands of dollars have been spent in
reviving eurythmic dancing, what
ever that may be, and it is my in
formation that they spent quarter
of million dollars in preparing a
relief man showing the move
ments of the peoples in the Medi-
terranean and Euphrates areas
during the Second Millennium,
which is between the years 1000
and 1150 b. G. New York seems to

be a favored child. I dare say that
200 million dollars has been pour
ed into that city by the Relief AID
ministration and yet out in our
country we have had to almost beg
for enough money to keep our cat
tie from starving to death. 1t Is
enough to make one see red. When
complaint was made to Administra-
tor Hopkins over the manner in
which public money was being
spent on these and other foolish
projects, he indignantly retored
that "some people are too damned
dumb to understand the finer
things of life" It may be that the
education of many of us has been
neglested along the finer things of
life as we have been compelled by
necessity to devote our time to maxi
ing living.
The processing tax that was
placed on cotton a year and half
ago has nearly ruined the South.
1t is estimated that $50 thousand
tenant farmers have been forced to
pick up and leave because of the
reduction in planting ordered by
the government, and loss of for
eign cotton markets, which
amounts to so per cent the last
twelve months. They cannot lay
this loss to the tariff. 1t is due en-
tirely to the top-heavy price Of
domestic cotton which has enabled
Brazil, Egypt, and China to go out
and capture our foreign markets.
This is another instance where we
have found to our sorrow that we
cannot hope to sell in the world

House.
Both houses adopted confer
ence committee report and repass-

The House killed a bill to change
the date of the state primary elec-
ton from June to August.
A bill providing for scaling down
of Rural Credit mortgages and
crop payment OF installments due
in certain cases was passed by
both houses for the second time af-
ter adoption Of a conference COM
mittee report.
All household goods and farm
machinery are exempt from taxa
ton under a bill passed by both
houses after it had been amended
slightly by a conference committee.
The Senate passed a House bill
providing for state mothers aid
pensions after amending it to APP
propriate only 100000 instead Of a
million for the biennium, and sent
the measure back to the House.

MEAT STOCKS DROP
OFF AS LIVESTOCK
SLAUGHTER WAVES

Meat stocks held in cold storage
houses of the United States contin-
ne light, and available information
regarding future supplies of meat
animals indicates that stocks I'M
doubtedly will continue to dimin-
ish," says the weekly market bulle-
tin issued by the Central Cooper
alive Association, farmer-owned
livestock selling agency at South
st. Paul.
Total meat stocks on April this
year were SOC, 1888, 900 lbs, compared
with an average of 858 million
pounds for the last five years. In
1918 stocks were heaviest at 1854
961 900 lbs. Present stocks are
among the highest on record for
this season of the year.
Pork stocks show a decrease of
4 per cent from a year ago, and a
drop of IA per cent from the five
year average.
Lard stocks are off 40 per cent
from year ago, but are about the
same as the five-year average.
These figures reflect the small
slaughter of 1914, 185 hogs during
the first three months this year,
which total is the smallest for the
United States in over 20 years.
Beef stocks in cold storage plants
on April 1 this year were Is per
cent greater than a year ago, and
70 per cent above the five-year
average.
This reflects the heavy slaughter
Of cattle during the first three
months this year, the January,
February, March total being D.
326, SO1 head. With three exceptions,
this was the heaviest slaughter of
cattle in over 20 years.

market unless we are willing to
meet the competition Of peon and
peasant labor of other lands, and
1t should serve to bring us to the
realization that we can only meet
that competition on machine-made
goods.
The importations Of cotton goods,
toys and matches from Japan go
on apace and more and more textile
mills are obliged to shut down be-
cause they cannot compete with
the prices at which Japan Is able
to lay her goods down in our mar
ket. 1T is my information that the
Japanese working man and his
whole family each put in u hours
a week for which the adults re-
ceive from zoe to SOC per day, while
the children get from sc to 10c per
day.
I am wondering how much long

ate this situation.

amount of mixing that takes place
during storing and shipping.
The development of new chem
ical dust for treating oats, barley
and wheat and the installment OF
large-scale seed treating machinery
by many local elevators in the sur
plus grain areas are making seed
treating easier and cheaper for the
farmers, Mr.. Rose points out. For
ty-four elevators in % counties OF
western and northwestern Mime
sofa are offering a custom seed
treating service to their patrons
this year, whereas in the past, very
few have offered such a service.
These elevators treat seed for far
mers at three cents or less per
bushel
With thousands of tons of rough
age shipped into Stearns county in
the form of hay, straw, etc, from
different parts of the United States
and Canada the County Agents Of
flee, st. Cloud, wishes to call at
tention to the danger of bringing
in weed seeds with the roughage
shipments. Likewise thousands of
bushels of grain feed have been
shipped in from other areas and
this also adds to the danger of
more weed seeds coming into the
county. Since a good portion of this
seed will find its way into the
manure that is later spread on the
land it might be well to keep in
mind that a good portion of this
weed seed can be kept in check if
the manure is not spread on the
land as soon as it is taken from
the barn yards. The plan uf stor-
ing manure in large piles in sum-
mer is not generally recommended
but this year on many farms
large amount of weed seed will be
present in the manure as a result
of feeding imported fees. A good
portion of these weed seeos will be-
come rotted and their termination
spoiled by storing them over the
summer.
If it becomes necessary on farms
to spread this manure Immediately
it should be used on land that
would be planted to corn so that
the weed seeds for the most part
will terminate yet this year while
the corn crop is being cultivated.
With continued cultivation of the
corn. crop the tendency is for the
weed seeds to terminate as rapidly
as possible and in doing so with
continual cultivation young plants
will usually be killed off.
Common weeds such as sow this
ties, Canadian thistles, and quack
grass the average farmer is Stearns
county is quite familiar with and
likewise more or less familiar with
control measures. However, some
of the more noxious weeds such as
Jenny grass and leafy spurge are
not common in the county and
they may be finding their way into
the county with the feed ship
ments. The two weeds are both
harder to control than any of the
weeds that people are familiar
with. Once they get started In a
section, two years of black fallow
or chemical treatment with sodium
chlorate or other materials are
necessary. If they show up in very
small spots tar paper covering con-
trolls them in nice shape.
