MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, ’21 FIREMEN'S FUND PAYMENT DELAY LETTER SUBJECT State Auditor Writes to Various Officials on Matter State. Auditor Poindexter has ad- - dressed a letter to city officials re- garding the failure of the state to pay the tax apportionment of the fire- men’s fund to the various fire de- pariments. “The facts in the case,” said Mr. Poindexter, “are simply these: The Sixteenth Legislative assem- bly of 1919 appropriated $70,000 for the biennial period beginning Jyly 1, 1919, to comply with Sections 3993 to. 3998 inclusice, Compiled Laws of 1913, under which precent of the premiums on fire in- surance collected within cities and villages are paid to regularly organ- ized fire departments. Will Expedite Claims ‘Of this sum . $42,825.00 was paid June 1, 1920, on the basis of the .. 1919 premium levies, in accordance - ally with reports filed with the commis- sioner of insurance by the insurance companies and certified to this of- fice by him. This left a balance of only $27,188.75 available for dis- tribution to the fire departments on June 1, 1921. “Owing to the fact that the com- missioner. of insurance certified that $45,731.20 was due to the various fire departments, we could not issue the warrants without creating an overdraft in excess of the appropria- tion provided of $18,542.54. “There seems to be a question as to whether this two percent premium tax rightfully belongs in the budget or not but as long as a specific ap- propriation has been made, this office has no authority to exceed it. T un- derstand that a test case is to be brought in the courts to determine this question and as soon as a decl- sion is rendered these claims will either be paid in full or the balance apportioned,,, depending upon the cour’s decision. : “L trust I have made this clear and I will do everything possible to ex- pedite the payment of these claims.” SENATOR KELLOGG TO BE CANDIDATE FOR SECOND TERM St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 19—Frank B. Kel'oge, junior United States Senator from Minnesota, today formally an- nounced that he would be a candidate for re-election next year. He issued this statement: “During my stay in St. Paul I have been solicited by many friends to. write a letter making an announce- ment of my political plans. 1 did not think it was necessary, but I have fin- concluded to do so, and I write this letter to the people of Minnesota. “[ shall next year be a candidate for the senate to succeed myself. Five years ago™the people of this state honored me with their confidence and elected me to the United States Sen- ate. “T took my seat the begi ining of the great war and my term oO! service has represented one of the most criti- cal periods in American history. Not only have we been confronted with the tromendous problems of war, but the equally difficult, economic, social and foreign questions following the close of the conflict. “T shall make no statements as to my services. Ihave given to the state and the nation all of my time and the utmost of my ability and ex- perience. If in my public career I have met the expectations and ap- proval of the people of the state, I should deem it an honor to receive their endorsement. “My duties are such that I cannot Jeave Washington to carry on a gen- eral campaign, and I have no taste or talent for wire-pulling or political intrigue, I am perfectly willing to leave the matter to the people of Min- nesota.” WHOLESALE PRICE - INCREASE SHOWN Washington, Sept. 19—Wholesale ‘prices increased 2.75 per cent in Aug- ‘ust over July levels, wholesale food prices leading in the advance with an increase of 13.5 per cent, according to figures made ovublic today by the de- partment of labor. ~ Farm products including many fool products were 2.5 per cent higher in August than in July, the statement sa‘d, adding that there were decided advances in butter, cheese, milk, eggs, and will be acted upon in a few days. | mother, —_ GOOD NEWS! We have decided to not follow our former practice of increas- ing storage rates during the winter to help defray the heating cost. We have more storage space and better facilities than can be found elsewhere and we offer rock bottom rates, feeling that we will in- crease our business sufficiently to make up the loss on steam. You can keep your car all winter here at practically dead storage rates. Monthly storage ’. .. 2. $8.00 Night storage....

In all other commodi- ties except clothing, the statement said, there were decreases in prices ranging from) per cent in the case of building material fo 4 per cent for metals. , Clothes showed no change in the general price level. ‘Since August, last year farm prod- ucts have declined nearly 47 per cent, clothing 40 per cent and building ma- terials 39%% per cent.

MINE BOSS IS KILLED: MINER ~ BEING HUNTED Mack Hendrickson, Pit Boss at Williston- Mine, Killed Willliston, N. D., Sept. 19—Mack ‘Hendricksn, pit boss at the Wlliston Coal and Ice company, mine, was inur- dered Friday afte;noon. Frank B; coal miner who was employed th is alleged to have done the shootins. ‘Bann escaped and no trace of him had been found up to a late hour Satur- day. The mine is ‘peated about two miles éast of Willistun. Frank Bann lived in a small.shack near the mine on company property and did not stay at the bunkhouse where most of the crew sleeps. It is said that he had been operating a siill in the shack for some time, and when the place was searched by officers shortly after the murder they found two gallons of “moonshine” and a barrel of mash, Friday morning; Bann was said to have been drunk and did not go to work, iHe came to the mine several times during the day and tried to get some of the other men to drink with him, it is claimed and was asked to leave each time by the pit Luss. At noon one of the men took him to his shack and put him to bed and it is said that he stated then that ho intended to kill three men before the day was over. Nobody thought much about this remark at the time. ‘Late in the afternpon Bann came back to the mine agan and was once more ordered away by Hendrickson, the pit boss, who is said to have been a good friend of Bann. After being ordered away, Bann Avent back to the house and got a shotgun, it is al- leged.’ He is believed to have gone back to the entrance of the mine, near which Hishdrickson was standing, and shot him. The shot entered Hendrickson’s chest just below the right shoulder and ranged downward. The _hole seems to indicate that the men were about 10 feet apart, as the shot did not scatter and a hole a little over jolie inch across was torn in Hendrick- son’s chest. He was conscious after being hit and died just a few mnutes Jater.

The regular convention rate of one and one-third fare for the round trip can be obtained over any line. A special proposition to take car of 50 men over the Milwaukee line from ‘Linton at a special rate also is under consideration. As soon as arrangements for the special rates are jmade a call will be issued to Legion men to sign up for the trip.

The American government hasn't taken any such action—yet!

Mrs. Calhoun Answers Movies and morals are being d cussed everywhere as a result of the Arbuckle case. What price must a girl pay for a movie career?” people ask. The question is answered in this series of articles written esp for the (Tribune) by Mrs. Florence Calhoun, mother of Alice Calhoun, the Citagraph star who in five years has n from a 5-a-day extra to a $1000- week performer. BY FLORE B CALHOUN Mother of Ali houn, Vitagraph Star, the Youngest in the Movies Of morals and the movies much has been said: How do film plays influence the morals of the audience? How far does public taste determine the ethics of shadow-land? In the fan mail of every su ful star comes many queries about the fitness of movie-land as a place for a girl to make her cafeer. As the mother of Alice Calhoun I have been fated to read an enormous number of such letters. I think that a single brief answer covers them all: Human beings are the same, on a set or off; human nature can’t be changed by a make-up; nor the heart of man or maid by a costume; nor conduct by the ability to act a part. Alice Calhoun and I are still very new to the magical mysterious world behind the sliver sheet. So new that it seems only yesterday since J, the hovered close to the broad a 50 ALICE CALHOUN chalk line, studied the actors moving briskly through a scene, and asked anxiously: “Where’s Alice?” Since that day I have learned a good deal more than how to pick out my own child under a Kleig light. 1 have learned that movie actresses and actors bring out of the movie en- vironment just about What they take into it. .

Chartcter means the impossibility of being displaced, | learned years ago when it still was fashionable to read Emerson. Today there’s a new word for the same old spirit. We no longer talk about building chayacter, we discuss morale. In one way, morale and morals mean the same thing. Nobody ever will have reason to question the character of any person who pos- sesses a high morale.

Sept. 19.—Revenue from eggs and honey off a one-acre “farm” on the outskirts of Omaha, | cultivated for twenty years, has | brought prosperity to Anthony John- son, His success is the outgrowth of an experiment on a small lot when his worldly possessions numbered twelve stands of bees. Mr, Johnson says he has solved the question of the minimum amount of land upon which a farmer can live and raise a family and at the same time maintain an average standard of living. Economists and experts argue | from 5 to 40 acres, Mr. Johnson says. | His own opinion is just one. When he started, Mr. Johnson knew little of farming and less of the cul- ture of chickens or bees. “Because of this, I passed through! the period of bee diseases and other dev: ions during = my _— experi-; ments,” he said. “Finally I was suc- cessful and after ten years added} chickens to my farm products. Pains- taking experiments gained from bee culture aided in the development of wy chickens, although the two speci- mens are widely separated in their raising.” Knowledge, system and persistent tenacity for exactness in all the de- tails of care Mr. Johnson regards as the cornerstone of his success on a ISM | | PAGE THRER A Auditorium “The _—_ WILL HAULCORN 10 MARKET IN SPITE OF PRIGE ‘Chicago, Sept. 19—Farmers that raise corn are generally going to burn none of it fier fuel this winter because of low prices.
