CMEMBER ff JULIUS E. YNGVE, Associate Editor. The rank and file of the people are strong for a fair tonnage tax. Now it is proposed to punish the purchaser of liquor illegally sold as well as the seller. Watchful waiting in Mexico has cost $160,000,000. And the situation is as muddled as ever. There may be some changes in Presi dent Wilson's cabinet after March 4. Some heavier timber is needed. The "majority over all" provision regarding amendments to the consti tution should not be tampered with. Saturday Evening Post: A farm on a poor road is a prison for women and children part of every year. Nobody likes a prison. When a majority of the good women of Minnesota want the ballot, they will undoubtedly get it. And it should not be given them until that time. The Hutchinson Leader has started Vol. XXXVII. The leader is ever in teresting and newsy, and it is always a pleasure to liberate it from its wrap per. The Minnesota Democratic State Central committee emerged from the recent campaign with cash balance of $612.40, after paying all bills as well as $700 from the previous cam paign. The St. Paul Outdoor Sports carni val is a winner, greatly to the mental suffering of that small but soured class of individuals who are in a high dudgeon over anything and everything that affords pleasure to the spectators. The government clerks in Washing ton now have shorter hours, higher pay, and more privileges than any set of employes in the known world, yet with rare effrontery they are glamor ing for higher wages and shorter hours. The annual legislative, executive and judicial bill has passed the senate of the United States, and a provision was written into the measure placing all postmasters on the civil service list. The democrats propose to keep the spoils. Editor P. E. Hadley of the Winne bago City Enterprise admits that a few years ago he turned down proffers $ the postmastership of that place, and adds: "We ha\e never regretted it." It is a safe bet that the readers of that excellent weekly have never regretted it either. Public opinion must be back of a law if it is to be enforced. This fact has been demonstrated time and time again. In this connection a Washing ton correspondent says: It is quite likely ere the world is much older, we shall have prohibition writ in the fundamental law but it will prove brutum fulmen in every com munity where public opinion happens to be wet. Congressman Schall voted against the omnibus public building billa "pork barrel" measureand he is to be commended for doing so. It is high time that congress quit appropriating money to erect imposing post office buildings in places where the total postal receipts will scarcely pay the interest on the money invested in the structure. There are in Minnesota 85,000 farm ers who are patronizing the 855 cream eries of this state, who receive from a few dollars to as high as $300 a month for their milk. The business of the creamery and dairy interests of Min nesota amounts to $100,000,000 a year. Some business.Stillwater Gazette. Yes, and in the best dairy sections of Minnesota the industry is yet in its in fancy. The next decade will see a remarkable growth along the line of dairying. The amount of whiskey consumed in the United States during 1916 appar ently was greater than in any previous year since 1909, according to the tax returns to the Federal treasury de partment compiled recently. The gov ernment's revenue from whiskey in 1916 was nearly $24,000,000 more than in 1915, but officials believe that a portion of the increase is attributable to the fact that the government is at present collecting taxes on all the whiskey produced in the country, whereas, because of extensive frauds, such was not the case a few years ago. The county commissioners of Pdpe county ajre evidently a wide-awak set of officials. They have called*' mass meeting to be held at Glenwao on Friday, February 28, and the sub ject of good roads will be discussed. The matter of placing the roads in ther county in first-class condition at the lowest possible cost, will be given thej consideration that this important phase of road building is entitled to. The idea is a crackerjack, and if Pope county does not secure a dollar's worth of roads for every dollar expended it will not be the fault of the commis sioners. The Loqdon Economist five or six weeks ago contained an article esti mating the amount of the budgets of the warring nations after the stupen dous conflict is ended. If the war ends one year from .the first of next March, England will have an annual budget thereafter of $1,200,000,000 according to this publication. Germany will have a budget of $1,300,000,000 Austria Hungary will have a budget of $1- 400,000,000, and Russia will have a budget of $1,600,000,000. The United States has been in no war, but it is estimated that our budget for the fiscal year 1918 will be $1,655,000,000, the largest budget in all the world. The United States is a wealthy coun try but it is time that a little thrift were practiced. Germany may not be facing starva tion, but the food situation in the Fatherland is serious. The Berliner Tageblatt in a recent article says that the food difficulties for the great mass of people ha\e increased considerably in the course of the last six months. Potato rations have been reduced to three-quarters of a pound a day the bread ration of about four pounds a week can in many cases only be ob tained with difficulty, and the supply of meat is inadequate. Among other things the Tageblatt says: If one is lucky, one gets sixty grams (a little more than two ounces) of butter a week. For months past cheese has become something almost unknown for the mass of the people. Milk is supplied at best only to little children and sick persons. Every now and then the War Nutrition office issues a consoling communication, but generally the words are not followed by deeds. On the other hand, it is one's almost daily experience that foodstuffs which hitherto could be ob tained have vanished from the mar ket. And all that can still be bought costs impossible prices.

Another instance of the farce of the national congress to force economy in government appropriations was evi denced the other day. They turned down a request from the children's bureau of the department of labor for some $187,000 which was actually needed and then allowed themselves an additional $220,000 for clerk hire. Albert Lea Standard. W No Doubt of It.

Greenbacks are to come back after more than thirty years in innocuous desuetude. They are to be used in de nominations of one dollar and two dol lars, and are to replace bills of larger value, because, as the Treasury states, there is a great demand for-small bills.

There is no table stock either in the hands of the growers or dealers. Last year at this time there were probably 2,000 bushels held. Harris, Minn.-Considerable white stock is produced here but growers have sold heavily because of the high prices which have prevailed. Proba bly not over 3,000 bushels are held at this time against 10,000 bushels a year ago. Something like 1,500 bushels of Ohios are held, about half bf which are in farmers' hands. A year ago there were about 5,000 bushels in stor age and some held by the growers. Dealers are paying around $1.75 for Triumphs but there are not over 1,000 bushels left. Barnesville, Minn.Ohios are pro duced here almost exclusively, but the holdings this year are only 60,000 bushels compared with 150,000 which were held here February 1 last year. Sixty per cent of the holdings are in the hands of the growers. Gilby, N. D.There are about 1,800 bushels of Red River Ohios held here by growers and dealers as compared with 8,000 bushels a year ago. The farmers are holding more than half the remaining supply. Farm Living Costs. At a cost of 6.8 cents for each meal, Minnesota farmers have beaten away from the door the high cost of living for the last ten years. The weapon they have used has been the direct use of products grown on the farm, which resulted in selling directly from producer to consumer, and in cutting off all profits of middlemen. Under this arrangement, the cost of living for each person in the average Minne sota farm family amounted to $162.12 a year, from J.905 to 1912. These are the figures collected by F. W. Peck, assistant professor of farm manage ment in the Minnesota college of agri culture, and published in his new bul letin "The High Cost of Living on Min nesota Farms." The cost of living on farms in the study made on more than 100 farms in cluded accounts of food labor, includ ing that of men and women and of farm animals fuel, and an estimate for year on utensils and rent on houses. The expense of living on Minnesota farms is distributed among ^Pur chased food, 24 per cent farm prpduce, 22 per cent labor, 29 per cent equip ment and fuel, 12 per cent, and rent, 13 per cent. That the cost of living on Minnesota farms is higher than that in many other section of the United States is indicated in a comparison with a recent bulletin published by the United, States department of agriculture in which the cost of boarding a hired hand for a year is estimated at $128. A remedy for the high cost in Minnesota is sug gested by a page of pictures in the new bulletin by Mr. Peck, in which more livestock and poultry and a family gar den are cited as the best weapons to fight the rise in living costs. Fire Losses in Mille Lacs County. The second annual summary of fire loss in Mille Lacs county as prepared by Robert W. Hargadine, Minnesota State Fire Marshal, shows that the people of this county are wide awake to the necessity of fire prevention. The summary shows that during the year ended December 31, 1916, there were 18 fires in Mille Lacs county, with an aggregate loss of $23,940. During the corresponding 12 months 1915 there were 13 fires and the loss aggregated $94,180. A decrease of $70,240 in losses. The individual reports as checked up by this department for^he year 1916 show beyond a doubt that while there was considerable loss from fires it might easily have been still greater. It is evident that the people of Mille Lacs county, individually and collec tively, have taken proper and neces sary precautions to safeguard both private and public property from fire loss, by reducing the amount of in flamable material to such an extent that the interests of the entire com munity ha\e been well maintained in the prevention of fires. Illegal Operation is Fatal. Miss Anna Ruth Anderson, a young lady 27 years old, who resided with her parents in Stanchfield, Isanti coun ty, a half mile west of Braham, passed away at the Braham hospital democratic Saturday afternoon, following a crim 'inal operation performed in Minne apolis.

The acquaintance was continued, fiance of thsecharged young lady, has been arrested wit manslaughter Bn after leaving the hospital Mr. Dehn visited at the Anderson home on varjpus occasions. ^Xhe young, people became engaged, finally, and were to be married next June. The operation was performed In Minneapolis on Sunday morning, Jan uary 21, by Miss Anderson with the assistance of Mr. Dehn, who purchased the instrument used. This is in ac cordance with a dying statement made by her in the Braham hospital last Friday evening. Dehn admits that he purchased the instrument, but denies that he assisted in the operation. The Tuesday following the opera tion she became ill, and a doctor was called into consultation the next day. Her parents were then notified and her mother and a brother went to Minneapolis Wednesday. The young lady was taken to Braham on the night tram, accompanied by the mother, brother and Mr. Dehn. Her condition continued to grow worse, and Dr. Swenson of the hospital notified Coun ty Attorney G. G. Goodwin of the case on Friday. That evening she made a dying declaration, implicating her fiance. Mr. Goodwin ordered Sheriff Johnson to arrest Dehn, and the coun ty attorney of Hennepin county was notified. Later Sheriff Johnson took the young man to Minneapolis and turned him over to the authorities. An autopsy was performed Sunday on the body by two physicians from Minneapolis, and it confirmed the un fortunate girl's story. I James Robertson, former county at torney of Hennepin county will ap pear for Dehn when the case comes up for trial. Home Cookery Junket Ice Cream.

It is useless for a wife to attempt to be economical unless she can handle the pay envelope. When some men grant a favor that costs them nothing they seem to think that they should own you. The early bug would have a better time but for the fact that the bird is always on the lookout for him.

I /^HIROPRACTIC is a Philosophy, Science anJ Art of things natural a system of adjusting the articulations of the human skeleton i hand for the elimination of the CAUSE of "disease"Palmer. "Disease" is an effect, every effect must have a cause. The cause of "disease" is lack of life energy, which chiropractically speaking, is mental impulse, or thought, going from the brain over the nerves to every cell in all parts of the body. Lack of mental impulses is due to impingements on nerves, which press against the soft substance of nerve structure, and impede the normal flow of nerve energy. These impingements are in most in- stances due to subluxated (misaligned) vertebral segments. Subluxations of spinal units may be caused in various ways, such as by falling, straining, overwork, introduction of poisions into the bodj, or the violation of any of Nature's laws, etc. The office of the Chiropractor is to correct existing subluxations wherever found, most usually in the spinal column. This he does by a peculiar movement performed by his bare hand in a scientific toauner. which in time adjusts the bony segments to their normal relations and releases the pressure they cause on the nerves, when they are out of proper position. When such adjustment is complete mental impulse will flow unretarded and health will result to the affected body part. PRINCETON CHIROPRACTOR MINNIE A. PERRY Speeial Attention to Ladies and Children.
