Travel Code for Cyclists

Bicycles, which have become numerous in the
Sank Centre community, present a new problem in
public safety, and the Chief of Police has asked us
to cyclists to existing dangers.
Some of the boy cyclists zigzag through the
streets and thereby become menace to traffic, with
possible injury and even death to themselves. The
st. Cloud Times in recent editorial asks: Shall BIZ
cycles stay in the str eets shall they travel on the
Sidewalks" And Editor Eastman offered sane SOL
ution to the problem.
The problem has its complications. Travelling on
the sidewalks is dangerous to pedestrians, while
danger turks the streets for the cyclist And yet
the boys and girls must have place to ride their
bicycles. 1t would be no fun just to ride around on
their lawn at home and they not permitted to
ride on other peoples lawns They are future citi-
and they have rights, hence the problem must be
solved in way that will give them due considera-
tion
The logical conclusion it lies in regulation
of bicycle travel the streets Cyclists should be re-
qured to travel possible to the right hand
side of the street and travel in straight lines instead
of zgzagging about through traffic For night riding
bicycles should have lights on both front and rear
the rider should be required to give arm signals
the same motorists, before making turns We be-
lieve this would be good travel code for cyclists

Consolidated Primary Election Ballot

At the primary election on June 18th, Minnesota
voters will ballot what is known as the Consolidated
Primary Ballot" a system which insures absolute
secrecy All candidates of each party will appear on
the one ballot, instead of three in the past.
This makes it absolutely necessary that the voter
give careful consider alton in marking his ballot He
cannot switch from party ballot to the other
If he does his ballot will be void The voter is warn
ed at the top of the ballot in big black letters with
the following wording You cannot split your bal
lot you for candidates of more than one par
ty, your ballot will be rejected"
Many people, who claim party utilization, and
who claim they vote for the man regardless of par
ty will find difficult to refrain from voting split
ticket. They do not to understand that pri-
mary is not election, but merely a nominating
procedure in which each party the right to Sc
lect candidates for office without interference from
other parties.
Each voter should select his party and as best
he knows how, help select the most capable candi-
dates of his party offer to the voters at the gen.
eral election in the fall. Anyone, who says he has no

lean principle which gives him absolute right IN aid

THE GARDEN
DEPARTMENT
BY Ferdinand Wiener

The end Of May will see the
wane Of blooms from the tulips,
and we must give the spring
blooming bulbs some care to in
sure next years blooms. Remove
flower heads as they wither and
thus conserve strength of the
plants which would otherwise be
thrown into seed production.
In the case of naturaliZed bulbs
in the lawn, such as Crosus or
Poets Narcissus, do not cut off the
leaves with the lawn mower until
the foliage turns brown.
In the cultivated tulip and hya-
cinth beds, apply a feeding of a
complete balanced plant food i'm
mediately after the Towering per-
iod; and do not remove the foliage
until it has begun to turn brown,
thus enabling the bulbs to store up
food for next years bloom.
Now comes the problem of what
to plant in bulb beds. Annual
phlox, verbenas, and petunias are
all excellent ANIMALS to sow. Law
ender Sweet Alyssum, Lilac Queen,
is a very good annual for use over
bulbs. This variety opens white, but
changes to lavender and deepens to
purple. 1t is very hardy and will
bloom very late. California Poppy
is another annual recommended for
bulb beds. Portulaca is another
shallow roofing little annual which
often self-sows and once a salts
factory stand is obtained, replant-
ing is not necessary.
If the fertility of the soil Is
maintained through feeding with
complete balanced plant food, it is
really beneficial to have flowers
following the bulbs, for the plants
growing on the surface of the soil
will help utilize the water in the
soil and prevent the soil about the
bulbs from becoming too wet.

There Is no difference between an
excise tax and tariff tax only the
Democrats do not like the term
tariff" because it reminds them
too much of what they promised to
do to the Hawley-Smoot bill back
In 1882. consider Mr.. Flynn one
OF the soundest authorities on the
tariff in the United States, hence I
shall quote him in this letter. Said
he, 1--WE do not believe that 1t Is
the intent or the purpose Of Con-
gress to continue to permit the
landing in our large consuming
markets Of products of foreign
workers, which products compete
in the American market with the
products of Americas workers and
farmers, at total landed or deliv-
cred costs which costs are less
than the landed or delivered cost
Of similar or comparable American
made or produced goods or COM
modities.
ITO do this it is essential that
we eliminate the advantages for
cign-produced goods and commod-
tiles have in the American market,
and at least place American pro-
ducts on a basis of equality. This
necessitates the placing of an ex-
else tax on those imports which
compete in the American market
with the products of American
workers and farmers which excise
tax will at least equalize the diff
ference in landed or delivered
costs.
Labor is definitely opposed to
the entry into the American mar
ket of foreign-produced goods or
commodities, which products COM
pete in the American market with
the products Of Americas workers
and farmers, when such products
are landed at total landed costs
which are less than American costs
of delivering similar or comparable
goods or commodities into the
same American markets. We be-
lieve that the American people, or
at least 80 per cent of them, be-
lieve the same.
It Is clear to me that we cannot
hope to restore agriculture to a
profitable level and provide TO-
100000 idle Americans with work
so long as we insist on following
our present policy of giving the
American market to foreigns.
