recently completed, Harold Olson,
director Of the division of roadside
development Of the department,
said.
It Is the policy Of the department
to seed grades, bitches and back
slopes with a type Of grass which
farmers can feed to livestock. AL
falfa Is popular.
BY using such cover the depart
ment Is able to cut down it's main
tenance costs as farmers near the
highways are willing to cut the
roadsides for the feed they thus de-
rive.
Mr.. Olson pointed out that an
other reason why grades and back
slopes are now being seeded is be-
cause such precaution prevents
erosion of adjoining lands and also
eliminates the former weed prob
lem of right-of-ways, which once
were a breeding spot Of noxious
plants.

COMMENT
EVERY LICENSE IS
ENTITLED TO FISH
From Our Erchan Ses

There are many complaints these
days both from local residents and
visitors on the four dollar fishing
license. A number of instances
have been cited where tourists who
for years have made Alexandria and
the territory around here their va
cation headquarters are being
weaned away because of cheaper
licenses and better fishing in other
states. Several instances have been
reported relative to Wisconsin
where tourists say they can get bet
ter fishing for less money. In this
connection it is true that the fish
propagation program has been lag
ging, especially in Douglas County
It can and should be corrected SO
that our friends from other states
will leave Alexandria with a feel
ing of satisfaction that makes for
a repeat order in the future. Eco
nomically speaking, people will not
pay the four dollar license fee when
fishing is poor and feel they are
not getting value received, at the
same time other states are beckon-
ing to them with strings of fish al
half the price. OF course these 9th
er states will experience their of
fishing seasons, too, but the face re-
mains that Minnesota has for years
built UP a tremendous tourist in
dustry will be wise to protect that
industry by fighting for a fish pro-
pagation program that will be the
job well. If more is offered, then
the four dollar license will be quail
flied to some extent. Douglas
County is sending between twelve
and fifteen thousand dollars to the
state capitol in license fees every
year and a very small percentage
of this money is being spent in re
turn on fish propagation. In addi-
ton to improving farm conditions
in this county and territory, the fish

Europe is spreading out it's utensils for another

go to war-not to Europe. That sentiment echoes
strongly up and down the street Europe seethes

involved can the United States keep out, is found.
We aren't bunch of namby pambes here who want
peace at any price-even if we have to knock the
other guys block off to get it, But war in Europe
just doesn't add up that's ALL What's there in 1t

Pigs Now Among Troubles
OF Local Police
RED WING-Enough Is enough!
In fact, the policemen are seriously
considering saving one section of
their new rounded desk for the
handling of cases involving bees,
pigeons, dogs and so forth. Now
they will probably add pigs to this
list. A short time ago they were
called upon to do something" about
a swarm of bees. Then they were
called to dispense pigeons. Next
came complaints about dogs. And
then one morning at 1890 they re-
ceived a call from a family who
thought someone was trying to
steal their pigs, and would the po-
lice "do something" about it. When
they rushed to the scene Of the
crime" there were pigs there sure
enough, squealing to the best of
their ability. The porkers were just
being unloaded at a barn.

about $50 o'clock one morning and
by II o'clock he was safe and

for the operation. BY use of a spec

article lodged in the throat was
fished out. The medical term for
the operation is oronchoscopy. x

points, both of them extreme in nature. Some say
town must be wide open to be good, others say close
her up tight" However, wonder if city based
good common and friendly conduct would
not have better appeal Friendliness toward visitors
by all of us, and courtesy and frendness practiced
by the law enforcement bodies will do more to build
up town than anything else think of. Peo-

swerved his car and ran over it,
then quickly stopped to see what
damage he had done to the dia-

coiled by the road with it's rattle
up in the air and going like a store
full of alarm clocks. While he was
considering how best to capture the
intruder, Game Wardens D. p.
Brady and B. "A. Langdahl came by
looking for a snake they had been
transporting from a county fair
conservation exhibit. 1t had escap-
ed from box in the rear of their
truck. They were very much re-
lieved to find the snake, since it
was far from a comfortable feeling
to know that 1t might be wander
ing around. Seeing that the snake
was injured they administered a
dose of chloroform and donated the
exhibit to Gregerson. No more rat
tlesnakes around Whiskey ditch

Judges Hen Saves
On Egg Shell
HERMAN-Judge w. A. Pracht
has always had the reputation of
being a most remarkable man, and
he bears out this fact by reporting
this week that he has been raising
a most unusual hen. Just what
breed of chickens this hen belongs
to is still a mystery to the judge,
as he has several strains in his
flock. When gathering the eggs
one day he found among the others
an "outsize," so to speak. The egg
measured about twice the length of
an ordinary one and was somewhat
larger in diameter. The next morn
ing when Mrs. Pracht was prepar-
ing a breakfast of bacon and eggs
she made the remark that she
wouldn't be a bit surprised if this
egg had three yolks and upon open
ing the egg, that very thing proved
to be true. It is not rare occur
ence to find an egg with two yolks.
but as the popular saying goes, Il
think the Judge has something
there"

Why Beer Advertisements p

When beer and liquors were legalized following
the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment the Herald
owners decided to accept beer advertisements be-
cause beer defined non-ntoxcant by the
Federal Government. However whiskey advertise
ments have been banned, and none have appeared
in columns. We have turned down hundreds of
dollars worth Of advertising for hard liquors, and
we shall continue to do so. This rule followed
by the Herald since back in the days when whiskey

duct Recently criticized for large beer
advertisement which appeared in the Herald, and we
made apology for it's appearance. Until the gov
eminent defines beer Intoxicating cannot very

girls of the community we shall accept adver
tisements for hard liquor regardless of the loss in
