Fishing Tackle Lost in One
Lake Found in Another.

Fairmont-Fishing tackle, lost over a
year ago in an Iowa lake, made its
appearance the other day when Ferd-
inand Mating of Dunnell pulled in a
pickerel at George Lake at Fairmont.
The fish was the same which had torn
off his tackle a year ago, and was posi-
lively identified by peculiarities of the
tackle Mating was fishing in futile
lake, at the Iowa line, year ago this
last winter. He had four strikes
through the ice, and lost his tackle
each time On one line he used red
beads for Sinker, taken from his wife's
trinket box. The copper leader was a
piece of wire he had fixed up, and from
these two means of Identification Math-
wig is sure that the fish he pulled in
the other day from George lake is the
same as that which stole his tackle be-
bore. The pickerel may have travelled
around by Keokuk and st. Paul. 1t may
have travelled down the Des Moines
river, up the Mississippi to Mendoza, up
to the Blue Eearth and Center Creek
to George Lake. But the more prob
able theory is that some game fish were
seined at Tuttle lake and dumped into
the Fairmont lakes last spring. Math-
wig expects to find the other three sets
of tackle he lost on the same day a
year ago in Australia!

Business Man Gets Old
Desk as School is Raced.

Norwood Little Nedra Hermann,
four years old, was a real heroine re-
Gently. She saved the farm home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Erwin Herr
mann, near Norwood, from what would
undoubtedly have been a serious fire.
Nedra was asleep in the front room on
the ground floor when the fire broke
out at 7:3O, and her parents were in
the barn milking. There is a chimney
hole in the room where the child slept,
and the smoke poured into the room
and woke her. She jumped up and
put on coat over her pajamaS, cap,
overshoeS, and mittens to go warn her
father-but the door stuck. And tiny
girl hasn't much chance with a heavy
door that won't open Nedra knew
she had to get out some way, SO she
pulled her little chair to the window,
and broke the glass with her mittened
fist. She crawled out and ran TO the
barn and gave the warning. The Nor
wood fire department was called and
quickly put out the blaze, but with the
strong wind blowing, not only the
house but the other buildings would
have been in danger but for the prompt
and courageous action of the little girl.

w. A. Anderson, special investigator
for the tax commission, in a long letter
to the Minnesota Misleader, charges
that a statement contained in Mime
sofa News and Comment" March 18th is
full of lies and absolutely false" In
asmuch as the statement sets out facts
suppressed by Mr.. Anderson and the
Minnesota Misleader, let us examine it
and see how full of lies and absolutely
false" it is:
1.-The simple truth is that sometime
after 1924 the Morrison County officials
began investigation and in october 1890
filed claims for additional money and
credit taxes against the Weyerhaeuser
estate. In 1888 Mr.. Anderson, investi-
gator for the state tax commission,
joined with the county officials in the
investigation. During this ten year
period the matter was in negotiation
between the estate and the county. 1t
has now been settled. The entire claim
made by the county amounts, with pen
alties and interest, to $274 ,415.64. 1t
was settled after ten years of negotia-
ton for $125, 900 1t is quite possible
that during the last two years the state
tax commission did not originate the
matter nor assume the burden of the
negotiations. 1t is entitled to credit
for what it did, but the primary and the
major credit belongs to the officials of
Morrison county, credit which the
Misleader ruthlesSly and deliberately
well knowing the facts, attempted to
rob them Of"
Mr.. Anderson's letter says that he
went to Little Falls in 1888 and began
an investigation. The Minnesota News
and Comment" statement, quoted above,
says the same. Mr.. Anderson says he
and the tax commission are entitled
to credit for making the settlement.
The statement says the same The only
essential point in which Mr.. Anderson
differs from the statement, quoted
above, says, and the records of Nor
riSon county show, that Morrison county
officials filed claim in probate court
on october 2, 1880, which was more
than three years before Mr. Anderson
was appointed to his position of special
tax investigator and was previous to
| the time that the present farmer-labor
governor was elected to office
Mr.. Anderson and the Minnesota Mis-
leader are rather free in calling names
which is the usual recourse of those who
are bankrupt of facts to support theil
contentious. Quite often those who
yell stop Thief" the loudest are them
selves the real thieves.

Navy Preferred
Alexdndrid'S S
Bread in 1899

Back in 1899 the little city of
Alexandria, Va, was not only a
shipbuilding center, but was also
the best place for the Navy to buy
bread for it's sailors.
These facts have come to light
in the third volume of Naval Docu-
mentS, dealing with a three-month
period in 1899, now being printed
by the Navy Department.
One of the documents included
in the book is a letter from Sec
retary of the Navy Benjamin Stod-
dert, written from Philadelphia, in
which he speaks of Philadelphia
bread as "very bad" and orders
10000 pounds of Ship-bread from
Alexandra. In another letter, Stod-
dert reveals he thought so much
of Alexandria Shipbuilding that in
ordering a new war vessel it was
necessary to give only the barest
essentials, leaving out detailed
specifications.

i. 5. FINANCING
OVER 1000
MILLIONS

International News Service
The Treasury today launched a
2,05O-million-dollar financing pro-
gram to pay the soldiers bonus
and operate the Federal Govern
ment until September.
Involving issuance of new bonds
to raise 1000 million dollars in
cash and the refinancing of l,O5O
million dollars in maturing obllga-
tionS, the Treasury's new pro-
gram is the largest since the
Liberty loans of World War days.
Subscription books for the new
Government bond offerings will
open June Is, the regular quar-
terly financing date.
Debt Nears 33 Billions
With the public debt standing
at 1880 million dollars, the ac-
ditional borrowing. together with
the TreaSury's normal weekly Sc
curities issues of SO millions, will
push this figure to a new high
of 32,790 million dollars at The
close of the fiscal year June 30.
While it is impossible to eSti-
mate how much will be paid out
in bonus Monday between June
is, when the Adjusted Service Ger
tificates mature and the next
financing IN september, officials
believe the veterans will draw
slightly more than $500 million
dollars in this period. The bonus
certificates in the hands of $500
900 veterans have a cash value Of
approximately 1880 million dol
lars.
Huge appropriations voted by
Congress for running Government
establishments will require out
laws of about 1900 million dollars
during the summer months. In
addition, Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau recently an
nounced he intends to keep 1000
million dollars in the Federal cash
till at all times to meet any emerg-
ency brought on through troubled
world conditions.
Chance for Small Investors
Morgenthau took steps to per-
init small investors to participate
in the 1000 million dollars cash
borrowing. Declaring that nu'
merouS complaints have been
made that syndicateS and specula-
tors corner blocks of Government
bonds, he increased the subscrip-
ton deposit from to 10 per cent.
He said:
THE purpose of this is to pro-
vide for an equitable allotment
and distribution of securities to
all classes of subscribers"

AtEVen Money

POUGHKEEPSIE N. Y, June
20.-Amid the clatter of pre-race
exporting first official betting
odds were released today by local
bookies on Mondays Pough-
keepsie regatta.
Washington and California rule
even money favoriteS in the
varsity; the Huskies also come
first in the junior varsity at 3-5
with the same two Western crews
also even money picks in the
frosh event.
Cornell is quoted at 8-5 in the
varsity with Navy AL. Column
bia, despite it's impressive time
trials, is 81, while Penn at 12-1
and Syracuse, 20-1 are buried in
the betting circles.
The big red Jayvee crew Is
rated even money, second only
to Washington in that event
while Navy is listed as a 212-1
shot with Columbia 81.
The big surprise of the odds
is in the freshman race. SYRIA
cuse's undefeated froSh crew is
a Is to / shot despite the fact
most of the experts pick them
to babttle it out with Washing
ton for first place.
On the basis Of time trials
California rules the course, with
a reported 1885 which is two
seconds less than the four mile
record. Cornell has turned in the
second best time in 1886 while
Columbia was one second over
Cornell in the clocking. Wash
ington's best effort was one min
ute over that of California but
the Huskies worked I'm d n
