Things Are Not Done That Way

Some people have the erroneous opinion that the
grand jury order to dispose of slot machines in the
county pertains to cities and villages only This idea
evidently originated in the fact that number of
mayors subpoenaed to testify before the grand
jury last week, and were ordered to clean up cities
and villages under their jurisdiction.
The grand jury resolution condemning the opera
ton of slot machines follows: I'VE the grand
jury after thorough consideration of the slot ma
chimes have unanimously voted and resolved to have
all slot machines removed from the county of
Stearns and that they remain out 50 long as they
held by statute to be illegal"
There should be doubt to the meaning of
that resolution. Anything ordered out of cities and
villages as illegal must also condemned and order
ed from rural districts; it could not be otherwise.
Mayors of cities and villages have received their
orders and they have duty to perform, which
cannot be sidestepped. Outside of the cities and
villages that duty falls to the county law enforce
ment officials.
In system of justice there is no law which
would permit person or group of persons the
privilege of violation, while another person or group
of persons denied that privilege. 1t just isn't
supposed to be done that way
President Roosevets recent plea for ten-year
peace which Herr Hitler will answer before the
Reichstag on April 18th, may have it's repercussions
However laudable the attempt of our President to
secure peace by negotiation his role as mediator in
European affairs has brought closer to the seat
of European trouble and there those who believe
that it has definitely removed opportunity for neu-
trality should develop. There is no doubt, that
should the big noise" of Europe reach the cannon
aiding stage that we will be definitely aligned with
England and France. Let us hope and pray that
the Herr Hitler and others concerned for the sake
of the world, will accept the service as onered ana
that may result in peaceful and honorable solu-
ton of Europe's uncertain and warlike status New
erheless there is opportunity for Uncle Sam to get
his fingers burned again.

Offers Plan To Increase Imports

Congressman August Andersen, of Minnesota,
who recently called attention to the New Deal ex-
Fermentation which has placed the South in COM
petition with Northern dairymen, has offered new
plan for agricultural and industrial recovery in this
country Congressman Andersen did not like the
reference made by F. d. r. to the noisy milk trains
of the north and he lamented the fact that the South
has been encouraged to compete with northern farm
ers instead of developing agricultural pursuits prac-
ticed there for years and years and which are not
adaptable to the North
Under President RooSevelt'S emergency gold
devaluation program, Congressman Andersen offered
a plan which would compel foreign sellers of gold
to spend the subsidy received from the United States
Treasury in this country for farm and manufactured
products for farm use.
In 1884 President Roosevelt boosted the price
of foreign gold and newly mined gold of this country
from S20.67 per ounce to $50 per ounce. Americans,
who forced to turn in their gold dollars, how
ever received only $2067. Therefore, he says, the
balance represents subsidy of SLABS per ounce to
foreigners. That is the amount he contends should
be spent for U. S. products, within the period of
year, the price paid would remain at S2o67 That
is his plan to build up imports which he said have
fallen off under the present plan.
In addition to the above he urges "the protec-
ton of the American market for all commodities
produced in sufficient quantity for domestic needs;
1.-The repeal of the Reciprocal Trade Treaties" "a
requirement that all foreign imports of dairy, beef
and pork products be compelled to meet the require
ments now imposed against American producers in
this country" the removal of state barriers now
in effect in states against free shipment of
farm products in interstate commerce." "the removal
of freight rate discrimination against agricultural
shipments" elimination of wasteful and unneces-
sary public expenditures to reduce the tax
burden"
Congressman Andersen has offered many good
suggestions, and under this period of government
experimentation might be wise to try some of them
Realizing as did Robert Burns, that "the best laid
plans of mice and men oftimes gang aglee," the
Congressman offers his suggestions in place of those
which have asray do not function as planned

Mad Butcher" Horse Killer
BEMIDJI - Three big blood
hounds owned by George Brooks,
Of Lacrosse, Wisconsin, were
brought to Bemidji to track horse
killer. The Mad Butcher" is linked
up with the killing of two horses
and might possibly be connected
with four dead horses killed by a
deadly poison. The Dickson horse,
killed most recently, was found
with it's throat cut, head split open
and was disembowled. Bemidji
authorities are worried that he
might attack some human If he is
allowed to remain at large, which
prompted them to bring in trained
bloodhounds which have been used
all over the country for tracking
down criminals. The local police,
county authorities and the state
bureau of criminal apprehension
have been working on the case.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Snakes are the only land ami
mails which can swallow objects
bigger than themselves. Certain
kinds of fish can perform the same
trick.
A snake has jaws which are
loosely hinged. The object swal-
lowed may be, or at least may seem,
larger than the snakes mouth, but
the mouth keeps opening wider and
wider.
A snake has sharp, pointed teeth
which are turned backward. They
are good for grasping prey. When
victim starts into the mouth, it
keeps going. The teeth are not
fitted for grinding, but they form a
trap which is easy to get into but
hard, or impossible to get out Of
Pythons are noted for their power
to swallow animals larger than
themselves. They have been known
to swallow lambs and antelopes.
One meal lasts them for weeks.
Garter snakes and other small
serpents are able to swallow mice
for the same reason. Looking at
the little mouth OF a garter snake,
we'd hardly expect it to be able to
gulp down mouse, but it can.
Africa has egg-eating snakes.
They are found in the central and
southern parts of that continent,
and do great damage to the eggs of
birds. They can swallow eggs as
large as those laid by hans. After

Here's a hand I've been saving
for you" writes William D. Lee of
Evanston. III. Although I think
you'll agree that my partner over
bid, I consider this one of the most
amazing hands l have ever had the
pleasure of playing.
Against my grand slam con-
tract West opened the diamond
king, and it looked to me like down
one. I decided not to give up, how
ever, and selected a dummy reversal
line of play as offering the best
chance. I ruffed the first lead. led
hert to the king, then trumped a
second diamond with the spade ace.
Next led another heart to dummy,
then trumped third diamond with
the spade king. Now 1 led a small
club to the king, then trumped
dummy's fourth small diamond with
my queen of trumps.
"A curious situation now devel-
oped. Entering dummy once more
with trump I drew all the out
standing trumps, at the same time
dlScardlng my two remaining hearts.
The diamond ace was then cashed,
and East was put out of commission.
He could not throw his heart Jack or
dummy's Insignificant deuce would
be good; hence, he had to discard
the jack of clubs, I then led the club
from dummy, and when Easts queen
dropped my ace and 10 took the last
two tricks"

Snakes

in the upper jaw In South Amer
lea, however, there are blind snakes
which have teeth in the lower jaw
and none above.
The South American snakes with
teeth in the lower jaw are marked
In an odd way. On their brown
body there is white spot on the
head. also near the tip of the tail.
For this reason it is hard to tell, by
a quick glance, whether the snake
is coming or going. Sometimes it
is called "the two-headed snake"
though it has but one real head.
Another snake which digs in the
ground is common. in parts of South
ern Asia. 1t also has tail which is
like the head in marking and in
size. When above the ground it has
the habit OF raising its tail as if
making ready to strike. This snake
Is not poisonous, but 1t is colored
very nearly the same as a deadly
coral snake.

the egg gets into the gullet, the
snake uses muscles to crush the
shell. Then the liquid is swallowed,
but the snake spits out the shell.
Among other kinds of serpents
are blind snakes. They did in the
ground and have only such small
eyes that they hardly deserve to be
mentioned. Sometimes the eyes are
hidden by scales. Since blind snakes
spend nearly all their time under
the ground, they have little need for
sense of sight.
Most blind snakes have teeth only
