! to the child's enfeebled condition,
the blood TRANSMISSION operation was
completely successful and the pa
tient now has a fighting chance for
recovery.
Debilitated by the ravages of the
dread hoCkworm and weakened by
recent attack of typhoid fever, little
Roy was sinking rapidly last night.

90 per cent haemagoblin, indicating
that the votal fluid was only one
tenth as strong as it normally should

an infusion of new bloed was the
only remaining means of saving the
boys life. The faithful mother hov-
ering at the bedside begged the
privilege of a final sacrifice. A care

contain the vitalizing elements need
ed and the surgeons prepared for an
opera tion.

Kathryn Recorder: At the meeting
of the stockholders of the Kathryn
Farmers Elevator Co., held last Sat
urday to consider the advisa bility of
purchasing an elevator, and consider
the building of a mill, it was decided to
purchase the Andrews Grain Co. ele-
vator. The proposition of building a
mill developed very little opposition
and when the question was put to a
vote it was carried practically by an
unanimous vote.
The board of directors were in
structed to procure a site for the mill
and concrete elevator. The subscrip-
tion for stock has been progressing so
favorably that there is no doubt that
the financial part will be taken care of.
Still the required amount has not yet
been subscribed for and all who are
interested in the project should see
Mr.. Walker and help the thing along.
A committee consisting of K. O.
Abrahamsen, Cedor Olson and j. c.

emily was no opposition to the use
of the rooms by the club, and just at
this time there is a fine chance for it

Young Flags Minnesota S State
Grain Grading in Strong Speech

washington, April 29.-Dishonest en-
forcement of the Minnesota grain in
spection system was charged by Rep
resentative Young Of North Dakota
today in the debate on the grain
standardization bill. In supporting the
pending bill. Mr.. Young declared that
half a loaf was better than no bread"
though he expressed some doubt that
this bill was even half loaf
Referring to Representative Ander-
sons description of the manner of in
specting grain in Minnesota, Mr..
Young said he told how the Minnesota
commission operated, but not what
kind of measure they used.
1--WE claim in North Dakota that in
Minnesota for years they have used
a dishonest, crooked measure" Mr..
Young said, "a measure that did not
grade at ALL"
He insisted that some grades, re-
jected under the Minnesota system,
were practically of the same value as
the accepted grades, and that if there
was fair inspection system, every
grade when it is ground into flour and
the product sold should get the same
amount of profit"
North Dakota members favored the
passage Of the present bill, while it
was opposed by Minnesotans.
AS member of the agricultural COM
mittee, Representative Anderson to-
day led the fight to modify and amend
the grain standardization bill, so as to
protect the Minnesota state grain in
spection system.
Arguing in favor of an amendment,
to provide for licensing state inspec-
tors by the government, instead of
throwing the appointments wide open
to any one qualified to inspect grain.
Mr.. Anderson declared that the pres
ent measure might ",wipe out the entire
inspection system of Minnesota" and
lead to the appointment of inspectors
not authorized under the state sys-
tem."
The house wrote into the annual ag-
ricultural bill provisions for uniform
grading of grain and for permissive
system of warehouses under federal
supervision, but did not reach a final
vote on the bill itself.

Community Hall for
Dazey Now Assured

Dazey Commercial: The committee
which was appointed to do the solicit
ing Of subscriptions for the Dazey
community hall got busy this week
and started the ball to rolling. Only
four parties so far have been solicited
but the donations have exceeded the
brightest anticipations of the most op.
timistic while the pessimists who pro.
phesied failure for the undertaking
have been forced to close up their
bowling. The first four subscribers to
the subscription list gave $500 and the
committee has bright hopes of getting
several others to give the same
amount, in fact it is believed that the
people of the community will sub.
scribe so literally that hall of ample
capacity to take care of the needs of
this community for many years to
come can be built and only so or rs
per cent of the subscription will need
to be collected.
The move is one of the biggest that
has ever been undertaken in the com.
munity and it will be one of the big.
gest benefits to the community that
could possibly be constructed. It will
furnish an everlasting monument to
the good works of the donors and one
which the on-coming generation can
point to with pride. .',..
The committee in charge Of the so
lic;ting reports that the sentiment is
very strong in favor of the hall and
that thus far there has not been re.
fusal. The work proceeds a little
slow as each member of the commit.
tee is busy with other matters and it
is only at short intervals that enough
of them can get together to interview
different citizens for subscriptions.
Each week we expect to give full re.
port Of the amount subscribed, thus
each reader will know how the work
