ONE YEAR FARM LEASE SAID NOT PROFITABLE . . (By United Press.) : Fargo, N. D., Feb. 13.—That the one-year .farm lease is a detriment is a warning which Dr. C. L. Wendtof, Manton, S. D., has sounded to North Dl_.l(ota farmers. “No tenant,” he said, _”will make a success of fanfling land if he thinks he is going to handle it but one year.” - Dr. Wendt pointed what is to be known as the Northern Minnesota Game Protective .league. Officers were elected as follows: President, H. J. Loud; vice-president, E. E. McDonald; secretary-treasurer, E. P. McMahon. A It was voted that the membership dues be set at $1 per year. General plans for the organization were dis- cussed by Mr. Loud and C. S. Carter. Thayer Bailey stated that the num- ber of deer reported killed last fall /in Northern Minnesota is 22,000. Discussion was held concerning hav- ing a closed season for deer for pos- sibly a period of at least five years, that the present supply might be pre- served. Efforts will be'made to se- cure a wild game park on Diamond Point. A number of moose and elk are available for the park if-a proper place be-secured. .o .. 90c-95¢ | Mutton S, HEAVY INCOME TAXES ALASKAN ESKIMOS “FALL” TOR “CANNED”.
