Drafts Bill To
Legalize zone Arm
Bandits" in State

st. Paul, Dec. 2-Slot machines,
pinball games and other such de-
vices figuring so strongly in law
enforcement circles nowadays
drew unexpected attention today.
State Senator Elmer E. Adams
of Fergus Falls, announced he was
drafting a bill for the January
legislative session, licensing GER
tain varieties of gambling" to de-
velop new tax revenue and protect
the public which invests a "fabu-
lous" sum in this manner each
year.
Each recent legislature has been
marked by attempts to license slot
machines or lotteries as some such
gesture under the guise Of pro-
viding extra revenue for relief or
other emergency projects.
But this new gesture coming
from such q heretofore uncompro-
missing foe of legalized gambling as
Senator Adams gives the subject
a new complexion.
The plan doubtless will precipi-
tate a sharp scrap during the long
winter legislative months. And
Senator Adams in statement de.
scribing his proposal concludes:
ut is expected that this proposed

cal quantities. Demand considers
not merely the quantity consumed
but also the price which it brings.
The real reason for the higher per
capita consumption Of pork this
year is that supplies on the market
were greater. Hog prices in 1910
have been below those of 1899
However, improved demand may
have kept them from falling as
much as they otherwise might
have done. The per capita con-
sumption Of pork in 1914 will be
lower than this year because the
supply will be smaller. Demand is
likely to improve as employment
increases but this will be reflected
in prices rather than in amounts
consumed.-O. B. Jesness, agricul-
tural economics division.
1 have a chance to buy some
wheat at a cent per pound, while
cracked corn is $1.2O for 80 pounds.
Would you advise buying the wheat
and mixing IL with corn for poul-
try.
Generally a grain mixture is bet
ter than a single grain. Wheat
alone Is not as good as a mixture
of cracked corn and wheat, so I
would suggest that you use both
in about equal proportions.-H. J.
Sloan, poultry division.
Should begin pruning my fruit
trees right away?
Pruning may be carried out sue
cessfully just as soon as fruit trees
lose their leaves and go into the
dormant stage. Fruit growers have
however, found late winter or ear
ly spring to be the best time. This
is especially true if large branches
are to be removed, because wounds
made at that time are less likely to
dry out before sap begins moving
and the healing process gets under
way. In either case, 1t is well to
protect the wounds with a recon-
mended paint.-E. M. Hunt, extern
sion horticulturist.
Is 1t advisable to process canned
meats, especially poultry, by the
hot water bath method,
1t is much safer to use the pres
sure cooker in canning meats. The
extra heat is needed to destroy or
ganisms that might spoil the meat

bushel, or approximately 70 percent
Of parity. With the parity price
Of corn at 81.5 cents per bushel,
the 1910 loan rate is Is percent of
parity, or 81 cents per bushel.
Extension Of the loan period from
four months to 10 months and ex-
tension of the term Of the loan
from one year to three years
should strengthen the Ever-Normal
Granary in several respects, offic-
ials said. The longer period for
obtaining loans will maintain the
price-strengthening effect through
out the corn marketing yeor. The
longer term loan will benefit farm
ers by enabling them to plan for
a longer period of storage for their
corn at the time of harvest, thus
avoiding the expense and inconven-
fence Of resealing,
Previous corn loans have been
made for only one year, but in 1898
and 1889 many farmers extended
their loans and resealed their corn
for an additional year. In the 1910
resealing program, farmers were
offered the option Of resealing their
stored 1888 and 1889 corn for either
one year or two years. Under these
resealing programs, farmers have
been encouraged to build addition
al corn storage facilities. AS a re-
suit they are now able to accom-.
modate a large part Of the Ever
Normal Granary reserve on their
own farmers without year-to-year
resealing.

GOVERNMENT LOANS
ON 1910 CORN AT Gle

Minnesota farmers can obtain a
government loan on 1910 produced
corn at a base rate of 81 cents a
bushel. The rate last year was
81 cents.
Extension Of the term of loan
from one to three years, and ex-
tension Of the period during which
loans are available from four to
10 months are the two principal
changes in the 1910 loan program.
The changes were made, according
to AAA officials, to encourage long
er term storage.
The rate of 81 cents will be avail
able to 40 counties in the "com-
mercial corn area" Of the state. The
rate for corn grading mixed" will
be SO cents bushel. Any farmer
in the commercial corn area who
did not exceed his 1910 corn acre
age allotment will be eligible to re-
ceive loan.
The 1910 commercial corn area
includes 500 counties in Minnesota,
Iowa, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio,
Missouri, Indiana, Illinois and Wis
consin.
Loans will be available to farm
ers outside the commercial corn
area at 46 cents q bushel, which is
rs percent Of the commercial area
rate. MIXED" corn will be eligible
for a Accent loan. Farmers out
side the commercial area who
planted within the 1904 soil-de-
plotting crop allotment will be ELI
gible for a loan.
Loans on 1910 corn will be avail
able from December 1, 1910 to
September 80, 1911, and will mature
on August 1, 1913. Like all other
commodity loans, they will be call
able on demand. A farmer may
redeem his corn at any time dur
ing the loan period upon payment
Of the loan plus percent interest.
Every corn loan borrower will
be asked to give assurance Of stor-
age Of the corn until October Is,
1913. For tenants this assurance
would involve the landowners con-
sent. However, farmer may de-
liver his corn in full settlement of

the machine will have 10 per cent
and the state will take Is per cent
for supervision and support.
AT the present time these ma
chimes are scattered all over the
state of Minnesota and more parti-
cularly surrounding the larger
cities although no small village or
town is free from them save when
there Is a tip that raid Is to be
made or some virtuous organiza-
ton is making war on them. At
the present time there are no sta
tistics as to how much money goes
into these machines during a year,
but it is fabulous sum, and those
who cannot refrain from playing
should get fair break"

AMENDED STATEMENT


We wish to amend a statement
in the article pertaining to the pet
ition for contest Of the school
election by DR.. johnson in Supreme
Court. Rather misleading was the
statement which said that DIR.
johnson paid the entire expense
OF the case. We should have added
to that statement the words: "ac-
cording to law" There are certain
expenses which the loser must pay,
and certain expenses which the
plaintiff in Supreme Court must
guarantee by bond. Attorneys
fees over and above that are not
included and must be borne by the
defendant, regardless.

Reject Proposal thdt Econ. omiC "Di(fator' Be Ad-
 ded to His Cabinet

LONDON, Feb. 1.-Prime Min ister Chamberlain today told the House of Commons that he rejects the demand of the opposition that he include the Economic "Dicta- tor" in his War Cabinet.
 The Prime Minister gave this in reply to the motion of Labor ite Herbert Morrison that such a change is subject to sharp po- litical controversy.
 Chamberlain asserted that "it seems to me that the existence of a Minister who will be Dictator over all economic departments, the right honorable members have described, will change the position of Prime Minister and I do not see what the Prime Minister will have left to do by this time. This gentleman will give his orders to all Departments"
 The Laborites hold the organi- zation of the economic phase of the struggle with Germany lags behind the rest of the country's war activity.

Finland. Yet every word and act of congressional leaders discloses how they recognize it.
 Senator George of Georgia made the most daring declaration of the issue. He told the Senate bluntly that if this country is going to lend money to nations at war it ought to take the respon- sibility itself and not pass it on to Jesse Jones, Federal Loan Ad- ministrator.
 His words sounded strangely like those of William Jennings Bryan when, as Secretary of State dur ing the early months of the World War and prior to U. s. entry, Bryan cautioned against lending money to the belligerents. In a private message not published un- til years later, he told President Wilson that money was 'the great est contraband of all,' because it controlled all other contraband.
