The result of all this, in nearly every county in the!

The farmer will not benefit by a reduction of the‘ == surtax. He would be annoyed, but not ruined by the $10 auto-| mobile tax, or 3-cent letter postage. The stamp on bank checks | would probably prove more of a nuisance to him than any of | the other proposed measures, It is neither safe nor convenient | to carry considerable sums in cash through the country, and a| large percentage of farmers have acquired the checking habit. They, cannot pay frequent visits to the savings bank for depos- its and withdrawals, as the city wage earner may; and they cnn«{ not.run across the street to the bank for change and accommo-| dation as the country town business man would find it possible} to do. If the farmer uses the bank at all he will want to write | checks. And he will not want to bother with pasting a two-| cent stamp on every check.—Exchange. | —0 A Baudette man, alleged to be insane, was taken to Be-| midji but insisted on returning to Baudette.
