1886 Relief Costs
Highest EUer in State.

Relief expenditures in Minnesota in
1886 were approximately three times as
high as in 1881, that is the amount
charged the state and local govern
mentS, exclusive of Federal contri-
buttons, a survey of the Minnesota Tax
payers association reveals Costs for
1886 were the highest in the history of
the state.
According to summary of relief ex-
penditures in state and local govern

counties spent $668,638, while three ur-
ban counties spent $2,35U,266 with a
total of all counties spending So, OLE, 9O4

that period spent $194,239.
In comparison, the 1886 summary re-

kid Galahad" at State
Is Strong Dramatic Fare.

With three of the strongest per-
sonalities of the modern screen-Bette
Davis, Edward G.. Robinson, and Hum
phrey Bogart-heading the cast, kid
Galahad," Warner Bros. drama of the
fight ring, will open Saturday at mid
night with Sunday and Monday show
ings at the State Theatre.
Made from a beSt-selling novel by
Frances Wallace, which also ran in
serial form in national magazine,
kid Galahad" has a very potent story,
woven into a background of the sport
ing world.
Robinson plays a fight promoter who
has one contender for the champion
ship. Fluff" his girl friend, played by
the very capable Miss Davis, aids and
abets him in his work. Bogart is a
rival promoter, and a killer.
The title role is filled by Wayne
Morris, promising young man who
packs a triffic wallop in his fight
scenes as well as his love scenes with
Jane Bryan, another screen newcomer,
who seems to be going places fast.
The story of the two rival fight
managers and their attempts to double
cross each other is swift moving and
full of action. The fight between kid
Galahad" and Bogart's man, Chuck
McGraw played by William Haade, the
steel-worker who sky-rocketed to fame
with his role in the Broadway play
Iron Menu is one of the most terrific
ever screened.
Packed with wallop after wallop and
a double dumping off" for its climax
kid Galahad' is a picture you won't
want to miss.

Department of Highways, Division of
Public Safety, and will be available
without charge to the motoring public

Newspaper publishers throughout the

So great has been the demand of
citizens for copies of the act that a re-

to the Traffic Regulation act itself
summaries of other laws affecting motor

talking about was once again demon
strated. This writer has never de-
nounced Gov. Benson on the Senate
floor. Senator Wright of Hennepin did
so in no uncertain terms last Thursday
a week. But speech or no speech this
happenings, concur in what Senator
Wright said
Much more could be written, but the
campaign of next summer and fall will
bring out these matters. The spend
thrift administration did not get what
they wanted. A "reactionary" Senate
has saved the people of Minnesota, not
$14,O00,000 as Senator Rockne stated,
but better than fifteen million. The
expense Of the session to the taxpayers
of the state aggregated $500 a day, but
on the other side of the ledger, We find
a saving Of Sl40,00000 day and if such
an investment is not a good one, then
this correspondent knows nothing about
good business.
One of the closing events in the SEN
ate was the presentation to the pre-
siding officer, Sen. VIM. B. Richardson,
of beautiful gold watch, chain and
knife. Sen. Harry Bridgeman, of op-
position party and faction and himself
a candidate for President pro tenn, made
the presentation speech which teemed
with grateful appreciation of the ac-
lions of the presiding officer and love
for his noble qualities. And Bill" re-
sponded as only he can.
And so its back home to a business
long neglected, where there are joyous
Sa1utations between friends instead of
slurs and insults; where hearty good
morning lasts throughout the day and
not only until the Office desk is opened;
where people are more happy in doing
acts Of kindness than in carving out a
political future; where sheaves upon
sheaves of grain and towering corn give

Keeping Wolf From Car
Becomes NeU Problem.

Walker-Keeping the wolf away from
the door IS becoming difficult prob
lem in the estimation of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Mix of Inguadona, especially so
when the wolf gets out on the open road
and tries to contact their car. Mr..
and Mrs. Mix were returning to their
home from a trip to Walker when sud-
denly large grey timber wolf leaped
across the road directly in front of
their car, which was travelling at a high
rate of speed. Mr.. Mix increased the
speed in an attempt to overtake the
wolf, but was given proof that he was
not the only one who could "step on the
gas" With one leap Mr.. Wolf dis
appeared into the forest.

close to $4,000 for every day in

Preston Lads Catch
Trout Without Tackle.

Preston-The most successful way to
fish, when you go after the big ones, is
to leave your tackle at home and use
your hands. If you don't believe it,
ask three local youths, Alvin Haugen,
Earl Topp and Hermann Ebort. While
swimming the river one of them spied
huge fin pointing out of the stream a
short distance away. Investigating the
lads found that big trout had become
stranded On a sandbar, and was about
two-thirds out of the water. Together,
the boys pounced on it ard captured
the fish, which was the largest trout
ever caught here. 1t measured 26 ga
inches and tipped the scales at 7h
pounds.

Jump onto the band wagon

on getting to congress was to
become a thorn in the side of

work of looking after the
Eighth district in Washington
and becomes a Go organizer
with strong Communist tenden-
cies.
John T. may be a hero in the
eyes of Russia or Spain but in
the eyes of many in his district
he is simply a frothy organizer
who cares not what he says and
makes statements he cannot
verify. ''Not all the planned
violence of the bosses will stop
American workers from or
ganizing," he shouts, and then
fails to cite any instance where
this has been the case. No one,
not even the bosses, is objecting
to organized labor and it's right
to bargain for betterment of
working conditions and better
pay for the laboring man.

have organized employees as

So far, no accounting has
been made by the CIO for the
immense sums collected in

is being used to enrich the or

has just published a booklet at

which deals with the magnetic
roasting of iron ore and ex-

plant at Cooley by the Uni

The booklet was written by
Prof. E. w. Davis who has
spent several years in the bene-
fcation of lean ores in north
eastern Minnesota which has
an enormous supply of this
class of ore.
In the booklet, Prof. Davis
made the statement that "pos-
sibly the most important prob
lem confronting the iron and
steel industry at the present
time is the development of
methods by means of which the
low-grade iron ore of the Lake
Superior district can be ex-
tensively utilized. Over 80 per
cent of the steel making in
terests of the United States are
dependent on the Lake SUI
perior district for iron ore and
unless the low grade ores are
utilized the merchantable ores
in this district will be exhausted
in 80 or 40 years."

Delayed Pruning
Topic For Series
OF Photos at Fair

That delayed pruning is advisable
for frost-injured citrus trees will
be demonstrated at the county fair
by a series of photographs showing
the progress made by trees treated
in this manner as compared to trees
which were given heavy pruning.
The photographs show that in
every instance where the trees were
cut back severely, less progress was
made in recovery as compared TO
those trees whose pruning was de-
layed and which was lighter.
The agricultural extension serv-
ice on the basis OF experience gain
ed in other counties where citrus
has suffered severe injuries in pre-

farmers here delay their pruning
and will exhibit these photographs
in support Of this contention.

Intensive Farming
Reaps Big Profits

Intensive farming baS created
in California. what is proportion
atelv. the largest rural wage-earn-
inp class in any state of the Union.
according to DR.. Paul 5. Taylor
associate professor of economies at
the. University of California.
The national average, based on
the census of 1890, shows that 26
per cent of all persons gainfully
engaged in agriculture in the Unit
ed States we're paid farm laborers
In California this class consisted
81 per cent of all persons gainful-
ly employed in agricultural pur-
suits.
According to DR.. Taylor, this
sudden rise Of masses OF indus
trialized hand workers can be at
tributed to the intensive cropping
of California farms Intensive
crops represent four-fifths of the
total value of California agricul-
tural production
Nearly SIX per cent OF California
farms are operated by managers.
This is six times the national av-
erage. Wage relations are highly
developed and gang labor is en-
ployed. Piece rates, combined with
bonus payments, are the most
common methods of paying labor
on the farms.
