EXTENSION DEBATES THIS YEAR
AGAIN

Extension debating was begun at the
University last year. More than fifty
debates were given in the state on the
subjects of the Mail Order House, I'M
tiative and Referendum, and the Re-
striction Of immigration by Means Of q
Literacy Test. This year one debat-
ing squad has so far been organized.
The members of this squad are now en-
gagged in the preparation of a debate
on the proposition: "Resolved that the
United States Should Increase its Pro-
portionate Military and Naval Strength
because of the European War; This
is very timely subject in which many
public men have recently expressed q
deep interest. It is also subject that
should interest the taxpayer. Most of
US do not appreciate the fact that we
are now spending two-thirds of our to-
tai Federal revenue for military pur-
poses.
The purpose Of these debates is pri-
marily to stimulate interest in public
questions and in their discussion. An
extension squad consists of four mem
bers, two Of whom present the affirm
alive side of the question while the
other two present the negative side.
Local judges are usually chosen and the
audience is also asked to render it's de.
cision.
Any community can secure a debate
by Offering to pay the expenses of the
debaters and of their coach.

WARM BARNS AID IN MILK PRO.

? Cold weather is an enemy to milk
production. Dairy herus must be we'll
housed and comfortable if they are to
give good returns. Warm, well-lighted
and well-ventilated barns are essential
to good Yields. The temperature Of a
dairy barn should be kept between 40
and 60 degrees.
Minnesota Extension Bulletin No. 10,
by George P. Grout, to be had by ap-
plying to the Office Of Publications,
University Farm, St. Paul, tells how to
care for cows, both in winter md in
summer. Some things it says with re-
gard to winter care are as follows:
"Comfort and contentment are the
touchstones Of success. When a COW is
Comfortable and contented. she responds
with flow of milk far in excess Of
able and irritated.
''In nothing have the Minnesota
farmers so sinned against their herds,
probably, as in the inadequate shelter
provided them against winters cold
and summers heat.
lit is mistake to turn cows which
are giving milk out into the yards in
very cold weather. If so expos while
their stalls are being cleaned or for
other reasons, it should be for a brief
time only.
"In winter as we'll as in summer the
COWS should have good pure water. She
should not be required to drink water
that her owner would be unwilling to
drink. The temperature of cow g
drinking water should 4.ot be below So
degrees.'

CONTROVERSY OVER MINNESOTA
I.ANn9

A reversal Of the order of the gov
eminent general land office under
which several thousand acres of Min
nesota lands in Beltrami and other
northern counties have been sold for
drainage assessments, was urged in
Congress Friday by Representatives
Lindbergh, STEVENSON, Volstead and
Smith, at hearing before Asst. Secy.
of the Interior Jones. Representative
STEVENSON made the principal argu-
ment in behalf of the members of Tho
delegation.
The lands were sold under the VOL
stead act, which provides that the
purchaser shall receive patent upon the
lands upon payment Of the government
price Of $1.25 per acre and the excess
over the drainage charges. Under the
Volstead act the drainage charges ara
the same for privately owned lands,
from So to 81 per acre. The represen-
tatives argued that these charges are
too high. The department of the in
terror has taken the matter under ad-
visement.

ONE CAN'T "FEAR'' DISEASE ON
Self

t'The belief that disease may be
brought on by merely fearing that one
may contract it is curious relic of
barbarism,' says DR.. H. W. Hill Of the
Minnesota Public Health association.
"vou 'cannot' fear a disease on your
self any more than you can wish a
disease on anyone else.
'The infectious diseases are due to
forces, germs, wholly distinct from

never bring a smallpox germ to the

HARRISON STREET
 EXTENSION IS HARD
 PROBLEM TO SOLVE
Although Big Manufactur- ing Business Is Out of
 Way, Cost is Same.

Members of the board of appraise1 of benefits and damages are still wrest- ling with the problem of Harrison street extension. Although the factory of Handy & Harman is now removed from the path of the proposed new street, members of the board find that
 the damages. which of course are
 equa1ized' to a certain extent by ben ef1ts, will not be much less than the former estimate. SITS, ,OOO.
 It is unlikely that the board will have report. ready when the com
 mon council meets Monday night. The
 members have found considerable diff culty in getting standard estimates on
 the valuation of the various proper
 ties which must be taken if the street will be extended from Fairfield avenue through John street into State street. While one real estate operator will
 place a high valuation on a part of the property another will give a much
 lower estimate.
 With the figures available now it is
 thought the board will estimate the
 damages outside, of the benefits at $155,0OO about $15,o00 less than the
 first estimate. When the first estimate
 was made the Handy 6 Harman Co.
 claimed the property to be taken from
 them was worth $39, ,00O and they also claimed that (the city ought to pay the expense of moving their business to another location. Since then the com pany has moved to another factory

The combina- tion of an eternal triangle of doKnestic affections, a supposed malady and the loss of a will form the plot of the play MT. and Mrs. Sidney SDrew have the leading roles and they are at their best in the picture.
