Approximately 50O.0OO.0OO pike
fry will have been distributed In
300 Minnesota lakes by the end Of
this week, according to DR.. Thad-
deus Surber, Superintendent Of
fish propagation.
About 100000 white fish fry
have been distributed In Lake Su-
perior and Red Lake. Sucker fry
are being planted in lakes suffer-
ing a heavy fish loss from winter
suffocation to provide food for
game fish that have been introduce
ed.
A much better hatch Of pickerel
fry Is expected this year than last,
DR.. Surber said.
DR.. Surber pointed out that the
Minnesota division of game and
fish distributes more pike fry than
all the other states and the feder-
al government combined.

Article Outlines History Of Carp
A brief history of the introduce
ton Of carp into Minnesota has
been prepared by George Weaver,
superintendent VI IlSucTicS.
The article reveals that carp
planting began in Minnesota in
1882 when small quantities were in
PRODUCED into lakes near st. Paul.
Little attention was paid to carp
until about 1907 or 1908 when fish
ermen began to observe huge
quantities of the fish. 1t was also
noticed that natural vegetation be-
gan to disappear from lakes where
carp had been present for a con-
siderable time, and that the exist
ence of game fish was threatened.
In 1909 the Legislature enacted a
law authorizing the Fish Commits
sion to issue licenses permitting
persons to remove carp from in
land lakes for commercial purpos-
es. Rough fish removal has been
carried on in Minnesota ever since.
Mr.. Weaver's article outlines i'm
portant legislation pertaining to
the rough fish problem.

COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

Education costs more now than
it did in pioneer days because
schools are better and more chill
dren attend them for longer per-
iods. In proportion to the magni-
tUde of its helpfulness, the number
of children, the number of hours,
the variety of activities, the care
for each individual child, the pre-
paration necessary for teaching,
the high esponsibility.-the school
is relatively inexpensive.-North-
field News.
Todd county commissioners have
decided to handle the relief situa-
ton themselves and beginning on
June first, will assume the entire
burden of relief in that county. A
misunderstanding as to the amount
due the state for past relief
brought about the decision. The
commissioners reserve the right to
again participate in the state pro-
gram should it become necessary.
The board claims that the relief
administration was unsatisfactory
and that it did not receive proper
cooperation from the state agency.
There is no question about the re-
lief situation being more economi-
cally managed by local authorities
and the sooner this is brought
about the better 1t will be.-Alex-
aHdria Citizen-News.
Not forgetting that the rural
areas are most important to culti-
vate for votes in the coming cleo
ton, 1t Is a significant fact that
tho real concentration, especially in
the race for governor, will be mass
ed on the centers Of population,
Minneapolis, st. Paul, and Duluth.
These three cities will no doubt de-
eide the winners. From now on the
barage Of oratory and appeal will
ring continuously in these munic-
qualities. It was here that Floyd
Olson piled up his winning margin
two years ago. It remains to be
seen II Elmer Benson can carry

Observations From

Gives Employment
(By Congressman Harold Knutson)

Protection Gives Employment
OF all the problems worrying us
that of unemployment easily comes
first and that the American people
are giving a great deal of thought
to it is indicated by letters that I
constantly receive from people
back home.
This mornings mail brought a
letter that reads in part as fol-
lows 1T is true that we should do
something for our aged and unem-
ployed youth but sometimes feel
that If we would develop the po-
tential American market and re-
serve 1t for Americans, it would not
be many months before the unem-
ployment situation would be solv-
cd"
There Is a world Of truth in that
statement and 1t is in line with
what I have repeatedly stated in
my weekly letters, as well as on
the floor Of Congress.

Hard To Believe
Bruce Barton, the distinguished
advertising man who is to advise
the republican party on publicity,
has suggested that those who are
interested in business and politics
face facts fairly and tell the truth.
That is the best advice on earth.
OF course, it does not always win
right away. False information, I'M
warranted promises and unjusti-
fled prejudices seem to help pol
iticians for awhile. But after the
political storm has abated and peo-
pie do some thinking there is al
ways support of those things that
are right.
1t Is better to be right and out OF
office than wrong and in. Event
ually right and truth prevail.
Falsehood and deceit are temper
airy. Facts and truth in politics are
eternal. That Is hard to believe, but
it is true.-Grand Rapids Herald

The CCC "Slanguage"
In addition to identifying road
sides and cleaning up timber, 1t is
reported that the CCC boys are en-
riching the English language with
a new and original jargon of slang.
For example, here is a one-sided
conversation recently overheard in
a northern Minnesota camp:
Hey, greaseball, got a stiffy?
Well, sawdust and blankets will do.

Here's what the fellow meant to
say, in the kings English: He ask
ed a truck driver for a cigarette,
but accepted tobacco and papers.
He was mentally overweight from
walking in heavy shoes in the mud.
He offered to buy the driver a bot
tie of pop before going to bed af-
ter hearing a minister talk. The
boy was hungry and understood
the evening menu would be fish,
potatoes and beans, lettuce or cab
hage salad, and coffee.-Ex.

Did you ever think what gullible
suckers we voters are?
We know the stork doesn't bring
babies. We know the magician
doesn't really pick money out of
the air. We know water doesn't
run up hill But we never seem to
learn that political magic is no diff
ferent from stage magic, except
that the price of admission is more.
A good politician can make us
think he picks money out Of the
air just like a good magician. But
while the politician holds our at

something for nothing but our vote,
his hand Is in our pocket taking
out our money (taxes) to pay for
