Jewel gadgets continue to flourish
on midseason jacket lapels. With
the discarding of burdensome win
ter fur coats comes evidence of the
Importance attached to suits for
midseason and early spring wear.
With suits in the limelight, then it
is that the gadgets so popularity
worn on jacket lapels will come into
their own with renewed emphasis.
While women are willing and eager
to discard their fur topcoats during
the interval that spans winter and
spring, they still cling to the touches
of flattering fur that so dramatized
their smart turbans. In the pic
ture an enormous gold-and-topaz pin
is worn on the lapel of a messy
green wool long-coat. There will be
considerable topaz and amber Jew
elry in evidence during the midsea-
son months and early spring in line
with the trend toward yellows and
beiges and sunburnt tones that are
sponsored for spring.

A Very Fine Project

One of the finest things that has out of
the present defense program so far, is the U.S.O,
said the LeSuer News-Herald last week The United
States Service organization is really the cooperative
effort of all the organizations in this country, under
which they take the task and responsibility of
maintaining club rooms at the various training
camps in the United States for the boys in Uncle
Sans service.
D. B. Caughren, of this city has been selected
to conduct a drive for funds in this community.
This sort of drive is being conducted nationwide,
and the money derived will be used to provide the
best in recreational facilities reading rooms, with
plenty of books newspapers and magazines, writ
ing rooms, reception and lounging rooms, and can
teens where they purchase goodies and smokes
at very low price.
Taking into consideration the boys who left this
city all of whom have had good home and church
training, do believe it is the News-Herald
says, the finest thing that has out of the de-
tense program. Such clubs have tendency to keep
these young fellows in good company, with the
right kind of recreation and entertainment avail
able for them. They are, most of them, at least
away from home for the first time. They look
ing for fun; they young and full of life.
Therefore, believe that the drive which is
to raise some ten fifteen million dollars
to finance this project, is a worthy for the
nations people. No went wrong in donat-
ing a little money for the welfare Of the young
people.

Washington-The Senate passed
week ago and sent to the House
a joint resolution providing a meth
cd for refund of hog processing
taxes paid by hog raisers and pro.
ducers under the old Agricultural
Adjustment act which the Supreme
Court held invalid. Senate action
was unanimous, but the resolution
faces tough going in the House be-
cause the Administration opposes it
and the Agriculture committee is
fairly loaded with Democrats from
the cotton states who are not in
terested.
Senator Chan Quincy, of South
Dakota, introduced the resolution
in the Senate, as he did two years
ago. At that time the Senate APP
proved it unanimously. The House
Agriculture committee also at first
approved it in 1889, but later re-
considered under Administration
pressure and voted it down, Is to
IL.
You will recall that the hog pro-
cessing tax became effective Nov
ember 5, 1888, at so cents per hun
dredweight, on February 1, 1884, to
$1.50 and on March 1, 1884 to S225
per hundredweight, and remained
at that level until January 6, 1896,
when the tax was held invalid.
During that period, 1851, 230 900
of taxes were paid, S26,124,00O in
Minnesota, one of the largest hog
producing states. The professors
have collected refunds on some 20
or 30 millions of taxes which they
paid on their floor stocks and
some part of the taxes which they
were able to prove they had paid
But the courts have found and
the Treasury and Agriculture have
also found after investigation that
in most instances nearly the entire
processing tax was in face paid
by the hog producer in that it was
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-06-26

deducted from the price paid him
for his hogs when they were mar
keted.
Reason the producer has been
unable to collect refunds to date
Is because the Internal Revenue
bureau has held, and been sustain
ed in its contention, that 1t could
not entertain petition for refund
from a producer because he did
not pay the tax directly. In other
words. the professor collected the
tax and paid 1t to the government
and under existing statues, the pro.
Queer cannot petition for refund.
Senator Gurney's resolution SIM
ply provides that the Internal Rev
enue bureau shall receive and con-
slider such petitions from produc-
ers for refunds and sets up a form
ula for determination of the
amount of tax paid by the produc-
err. This formula assumes a nor
NAL spread of IS cents per hun
dredweight between the hundred
weight price of live hogs at Chi
cago and the wholesale price Of hog
products derived from 100 pounds
of live hogs.
Under the formula, If the spread
equalled or exceeded the tax in eff
feet at the time plus 65 cents, the
producer would be entitled to the
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1941-06-26

full refund. II the spread were less
than the tax plus 65 cents, the
producer would be entitled to only
that part of the tax included in the
spread.
This formula Is based on the
findings by the Internal Revenue
bureau and the Department of Ag-
riculture in a brochure in 1887 to
the effect that the processing tax
was not passed on to consumers or
paid by professors except in part,
but was paid by producers.
Producers would have twelve
months in which to file refund
claims under the resolution and
eighteen months in which to sub
NIT proof of such claims, with re-
ceipt or account records of hog
sales accepted as evidence.

The Crop Storage Problem

Under normal conditions, wheat and
other grain crops flow from the fields of
the Northwest to distant markets in so
orderly manner that the producer rarely
gives any thought to it.
Availability of adequate storage and
transportation, he takes for granted.
The familiar elevators form a huge
reservoir into which the flood of grain
pours as the harvest begins. Long trains
begin scurrying back and forth between
these country elevators and the big ter
minal elevators. Thus the level of grain in
the country elevators is kept sufficiently
below capacity to accommodate the crops
Of all producers.
Even in normal times this throws q
tremendous peak burden on the railroad.
It must have the men to handle the many
additional trains, engines to haul them,
and cars into which to load the grain.
1t must have the full cooperation of the
grain trade 30 that cars can be loaded
and unloaded promptly, and hurried
back for more loads. All of this involves
a great deal more than appears on the
surface-even in normal times.
But this is not a normal year.
Great quantities of grain have been
carried over in the country elevators.
How much of this can be moved before
the harvest begins is problematical. For
the terminal elevators too are filled to
near capacity. The prospect of their
being able to reduce this storage materi-
ally before the harvest is none too bright.

Earth Swallows" Mother

Fertile-To have the earth liter

the unusual experience of Mrs. AL
bin Bartz and her six-month old
baby daughter, Barbara Ann, of
Fertile. Mrs. Bartz was walking
about in her back yard with the
baby in her arm when, without
any warning, the ground suddenly
gave way beneath them, dropping
both into an old, 20 foot cess pool
which had been covered with
planking and sod in 1918. In the

by pigeons which persistently held

throwing it off or stopping the

X So far as the Great Northern is con-
cerned, it expects to be able to furnish
transportation for all of the grain pro-
duced in its territory that has some
place to go.
X It expects, at the same time, to be able
to discharge its full obligation to the
Nation in furnishing such transportation
as is required by the national defense.
X It expects also to be able to provide
transportation for the normal business
Of its territory.
But it cannot perform these important
services unless it has the full cooperation
Of its patrons. II Is essential that cars
Be loaded promptly and, insofar as
possible, to their full capacity, and
unIoaded promptly at destinations.
Despite the fact that the Great North
ern has put 1000 new 50-ton box cars
in service in little more than a year, and
will begin getting more cars early this
fall on an additional order for 1000, all
cars must be used for transportation
purposes, and not tied up for tenn
porary storage.
The Great Northern is placing these
facts before the producers of its territory
because it believes that it is to the best
interest Of the individual farmer to look
into the local storage situation, and if
unable to obtain assurance for the ham
ding of his crop, to make other provisions
for caring for it until it can be absorbed
in normal trade channels.
