BOAT OWNERS GET WARNING

owners of small boats moored in the small boat harbor are given a warning today by Chief of Police B. H. Manery to keep an eye on their craft. The present cold wea- ther is tough on the boats as the seams open and the caulking comes out-then down goes the boat.
 There is more ice on the small boat harbor now than ever before and is so thick that small dogs easily scamper around on it which shows it is cold on the waterfront

PLENTY BEING PRODUCED
(The Northland TimeS)

The metropolitan press throughout
the country may play up shortcom-
ings of OPA, may rave and rant about
differences in congress and between
certain leaders, but they don't men,
ton the production record of the
United States.
It is claimed that the u S. has 1900
bullets for every Axis soldier. That
there is enough powder on hand for
a war that will last three years longer.
Perhaps it is costing a great deal
but there is plenty of everything be-
ing manufactured, be it jeeps, peeps,
ammunition, airplanes or clothing for
the soldiers
America has won the production
war and with that the Axis countries
just can't expect to cope as time goes
on.
Certainly the leaders in this coun-
try remembered that slogan ''too little
and too late" and they aren't going to
be caught short.

Labor Has Done Well

Labor as a whole has done very
well in the war effort Just as in
any large group of thousands or
millions some individuals will get
out of line and do things of which
the whole group does not approve
In the face of rising living costs,
not to mention some huge war profits,
it is only to be expected that there
would be some stir in organized labor
circles for their protection.
In his speech at Detroit Sunday
Vice President Wallace said that 81
per cent of labor has cooperated with
the war effort 100 per cent He
added that better percentage could
be proved through more explanation
but wanted to be sure of his ground
and set the figure at 81 so there can
be no contradiction. And then he
buttressed his statement with this
remark: "Let the first stone be
thrown at labor by those who have
done better"

Be Sure That Help Is Not
Imperialism

During the day at Detroit last Sun
day when Vice President Wallace
spoke before $4,000 people he made
many statements that need to be
said again and again, and what is
much more important, his good pro-
posals need to be put into practice.
At breakfast that day Mr. Wal
lace told his audience that ''the safety
depends on raising the standards of
living in Asia's millions, lest they rise
up hundred years from now as
'havenots.'
According to the Associated Press
he offered as a christian and abso-
lutely practical suggestion to Amer
lean businessmen that they turn to
India and China for postwar invest
ment-mentioning road building and
hydro-electric projects and markets
for farm machinery.
Thoughtful citizens will agree that
the standards of living should be
raised in many countries, but Mr..
Wallace's suggestion of American in
vestments in India and China may
need some more explaining.
There is always danger when the
flag follows the dollar, and we know
the power of money. If American
industrialists, or those with desire
for pioneering and exploring new
fields of endeavor move to China or
India. South America, Africa, or any
other country or continent to stay,
to make a livelihood, to make it their
home, and they are welcomed, that
is another story. Under proper local
controls such men should be assets
to their new homeland. But if it is
a case of staying in America, just
investing abroad and exploiting the
natives, the ill effects will outweigh
the benefits. We have had enough
Imperialism in the past.
The great natural resources in
India and other countries should
accrue to the people Of those coun-
tries. If they need explorers, skilled
and technical help from the outside
that can be secured and paid for tc
set up and give them the start
Capital is needed, some one will say
That is an old excuse for having
money run the show. Money rep
resents goods. If they have the goods
in natural resources, and the willing
workers, they can produce.
Yes, the standards of living should
be raised in some countries, but le
us not try to do it through imper.
ialism. That will only cause more

to decision invalidating that states
recently enacted law abolishing the
poll tax creates a political no mans
land for 100000 Americans and
presents the United States Senate
with an urgent assignment for early
action when it reconvenes after its
summer recess.
The House of Representative has
already approved legislation repeal
ing the poll tax as requirement for
voting in federal elections. In the
Senate, where the strongly en-
trenched bloc of Southern Tories has
threatened to filibuster the bill to
death again, supporters of the meas
ure will find their position greatly
strengthened by the Tennessee court
decision.
Southern critics of the measure
have long contended that the power
to prescribe or prescribe a poll tax
as requirement for voting in Federal
as we'll as state elections rests with
the states only But now the Ten
nessee Supreme Court has nullified
the effort of that state to lead the
way in abolishing the poll tax as
requirement for voting.
In its to decision, the state
tribunal ruled, in effect, that a state
legislature has no power to repeal
its own act The deciding vote was
furnished by a newly appointed
henchman of Boss Crump whose mall
odorous machine rules the state
through the manipulation of the very
poll tax law under attack.
This decision by the Tennessee
court, plus the refusal of the machine
politicians in the other poll tax states
to sanction repeal of the medieval
limitation on voting, makes it all too
clear that we cannot rely on state
governments to act but must press
for decisive action from the Federal
government.

fervor they displayed in conscripting

REMEMBERED PROMISE
(Springfield Advance-PresS)

Hats off to New Ulm's mayor,
John F. Gollnast. On recommended
ton of the police chief, Ed. Larson,
Mayor Gollnast vetoed the granting
of licenses to five 80 beer taverns
whose proprietors had violated the
law. Instead of backing up the may
or, five members voted to override
the veto, one short of the necessary
two-thirds. Three members voted
to uphold the mayor. When prohibit
ton was abolished, it was on the
promise of the vets that they would
enforce the necessary regulations
that everyone conceded must be en-
forced if the country is to stay wet.
The New Ulm'mayor and three coun-
cilmen lived up to that promise. Five
councilmen favored lawlessness, the
one thing that will bring back prohi-
bition if ever it comes back.

We leave it to the reader. Does
that resolution give the impression
that the "Old Age Body Wants Hill
ton Act Extended?" Does it sound
like the Townsend people "com-
mended" the legislature for the spe-
cial Hilton retirement act?
1t can be put down as slick
job of cOlOring the news, espe-
cially the heading-beyOnd which
many readers do not go.
The Cowles newspapers have had
hard time defending the present
administration for putting over the
special retirement act for Judge Hill
ION, and so they try to make it ap-
pear that even the Townsend people
approve of it. The Minneapolis daily
newspaper publishers know that there
is wide difference between retire
ment at $500 year or S4,250 an
nualIy, when that takes effect, for
a Judge, and $50 a month or $500 a
year to a person on old age assist
znce.
The publishers know, also that
we can not have old age pensions
Of $500 annually to all indi-
viduals and that that is not nee
esSary.
Retirement acts for school teach
ers, firemen, policemen, railroad en-
ployes, judges, federal and state en-
pIoyes have been forerunners for a
universal old age pension, and it is
the later objective the Townsend club
members are working toward. They

On Europe's eastern front things

If they ever really did start

been quashed, and the Russians

possible-that by the time these lines

have retaken the city of Orel for
some time the center of the fiercest
fighting on the Russian front.
1t is very interesting to note that
for many weeks the Germans have
been unable to claim even minor
victory in Russia, and that all re-
ports, indirectly confirmed by Berlin,
show that wherever fighting is in

ARE BLOOD CORPUSCLES

(Mille Laos County Times)
A mild sensation was created at a
recent meeting of national medical
association when one of the speakers,
a noted surgeon, advanced the idea
that the blood corpuscles are intel
ligent. He pointed out that the
corpuscles are not attached to the
body, but move freely about in a
liquid, the plasma, and to perform
their functions properly it is neces-
sary that they exercise a certain
amount of intelligence. He even went

In handling sheep for drenching or
dipping, lot of time and trouble
can be saved by penning the flock
closely and running them through a
chute made of hurdles or fence pam
els. Sometimes few minutes spent
fixing up good way of handling the
flock will cut in half the time needed
to do the job. Proper handling will
also cut down the risk of losses. In
drenching, losses are probably due
more than anything else to trying to
do the work in a poor place with no
equipment for holding the animal.
Steel fence posts are great help
in setting up emergency or sanitation
pastures. Even though there is a
shortage of steel posts in the country
now, it is not necessary to give up
the idea just because posts can't be
bought in town. Scouting around
among the neighbors may uncover
some posts not being used which may
be bought or borrowed. Frequently,
too, you can gain fencing material by
taking down old fence on your own
farm that is no longer needed.
When you haul manure with the
spreader, do you put the machine In
gear and drive straight down the
field until the load is off? Take a
pencil and piece of paper and figure
what driving you might save If you
turned back after unloading half the
load and ended up at the edge of the
field Some loads would, of course,
have to be hauled farther, but there
is net saving of distance Travelled
and time spent if you turn around.
A farm youngSter who is running
the tractor or buck rake has less
time for trapping gophers. Much as
the kids enjoy trapping, there are
quicker and surer ways of getting rid
of pocket and striped gophers. Poison
them. Ask for free copy of Exten-
sion Folder IS which tells you just
how to do it effectively.
Dusty conditions under which trac-
tors operate in farm work are re-
sponsible for the greatest danger to
cylinder walls. Modern tractor air
cleaners will remove more than SO
per cent of the dust from the air
that is drawn into the carburetor, If

If the cleaner is neglected, under
certain conditions enough dust and
grit can get into the engine to ruin
