Game Division Seeks Bird Data

Persons finding dead game birds
are urged to communicate with
their local game wardens in order
to assist the game and fish divis-
ion in its survey of mortality
among pheasants.
Wardens will ship birds in a
good state of preservation to the
University Farm for examination.
According to Gustav Swanson,
biologist for the division of game
and fish, there is evidence that
many deaths of game birds have re-
suited from lack of cover and pro-
lection from the elements as well
as from starvation.
Swanson pointed out, however,
that adequate cover cannot be as
easily provided as food and a WELL
fed bird is capable Of withstanding
severe weather conditions.
Swanson emphasized that there
Is an urgent need for continued
feeding in spite of the break in the
cold weather.
"It is very important that the
birds enter the breeding season in

A Liberal, But Not With Taxpayers Money

Theodore Christianson former governor of the
state and present Congressman from the Fifth
District in announcing his candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination United States Senator, stated
that he cassifies himself liberal but that he has
sympathy with the kind OF liberalism which con-
sists only in being liberal with the taxpayers money
Congressman Chrstianson's decision to file for
office of Senator reached after he had receiv
ed numerous letters urging him to do so and assur-
ing him of support from the rank and file of voters
This decision meets with the approval of great
many Republicans throughout the state and the con-
sensus of opinion is that Mr.. Christianson and Gov
Olson will be opponents in the general election
next fall.

Bensonite Is Man without A Country

By some strange quirk of international law Ben
son has a true man without country" His is
of four that have been called to the attention
immigration officials in the entire United States.
Chet Houde, %, resident of Benson, was born
in Benson but moved with his parents to Canada to
live in 1911 In 1917 his father took out Canadian cit
izenshp papers, which automatically made Chet a
Canadian naturalized citizen. When he returned to
Benson in 1926, lad of IT, the immigration author
tiles at Portal N D., allowed him to pass into this
country showing him to be Canadian Houde be-
came of age in this country and later tried to go
back to Canada, but the Cannuck officials refused
allow him to enter under the status quo In 1882 he
attempted to untangle the matter and take out
American citizenship papers. Again he balked.
He had no passport to show he'd entered the U. S.
legally. Meanwhile he had lived in America long
enough to lose his Canadian citizenship Now he can't
vote here or in Canada, and is literally without a
country. The only consolation be that they
can't collect his income tax!

Who Cuts the Taxes
One of the best arguments
against the Capitalization of gov
ernment as openly advocated by
the New Dealers and looked with
favor upon by the farmer-labor ad-
ministration was contained last
week by a report by the Minnesota
Taxpayers Association, non-polit-
ical organization.
Making report of taxing and
tax spending for the past five years
in Minnesota the taxpayers associa-
ton report shows that while local
units throughout the state have cut
their taxes II and a half million
dollars, the state administration
has increased it's tax levies eight
million dollars besides running a
deficit of about A million in those
five years.

which will travel half the way
around the world to observe a
twoand-a-half-minute eclipse Of
the sun.
DR.. Paul A. McNally, s. j., di-

COLDS ARE NOW
REACHING OUTFOR
VICTIM s!
Be Wise-Be Careful-Adopt This
Simple Precautionary Measure!

Colds are increasing. In some
sections Influenza is breaking
out. Don't be alarmed, but don't
be careless.
A cold is much easier avoided
than cured! Do the sensible
thing and adopt the ounce Of pre-
ventionpolicy. Stay outof crowds
as much as you can. Avoid cough
ers and sneezers. Dress warmly,
keep your feet dry and sleep in
o well-ventilated room.
Every morning and night take
one or two Groves Laxative
Bromo Quinine tablets. This will
keep the bowels open and COM
bat infection.
Millions know Bromo Quinine
as an excellent cold treatment,
but not enough know it as an
equally excellent preventive.

If you have already caught cold
there's nothing betteryou can take
than Bromo Quinine. It doesn't
merely suppress the cold-it helps
drive it out Of the system. At the
same time, it tones the system and
helps fortify against further at

For more than forty years,
Bromo Quinine has been the larg-

For more than forty years it has

The attempt to call thousands of
iowa WPA workers out on the
most ambitious strike ever at
tempted in Iowa died of its own
weight today.
Without ever being rescinded
formally. the strike simply did
not take place. It was set for
January 2, but that date arrived
and WPA projects continued un-
hindered.
]. C. Lewis, president Of the
State Federation of Labor, who
presided over the group which
called the strike and then found
public sentiment lukewarrn, ad-
mitted plans for picketing had
been dropped.
The WPA wage scale in Iowa is
$40 to $S5 a month, the minimum
being paid common labor. Lewis
demanded a 10 per cent increase,
and also demanded prevailing
wages. There are some $4,000
WPA workers in the State.
