Swedish foreign minister has
again assured the world that his
country will remain steadfastly

that the Socialistic minister,
Stauning, be recalled from the

Monday for Duluth where he pas
sed the physical examination sue

But few of our townspeople
knew that Mr.. Miltersen was
leaving and consequently there
were not many at the station to
bid him goodbye. Nevertheless
he has the good wishes of the
community in his honorable task
of fighting for the liberty Of his
country. Mr.. Miltersen is quiet
young man but with determine

he was glad the band and towns
people were not out to make a
demonstration as he does not
care to be made so much of
Nevertheless, some day when he
returns, which we earnestly hope
he does, he will receive due hon,

and that will probably be the
most appropriate time to do it

NEWS FROM TUE MINNESOTA

frOt. II. M. WdShDurn, OF the
Department of Dairy Husbandry,
Minnesota Agricultural College,
has been appointed to take
charge of the dairy conservation
work in the Northwest.
This work will form an inn
portant part of the governments
plan for conserving the food sup
ply of the nation; and the North
west, as the heart Of the coun-
try's dairy industry, is expected
to set the pace for other sections.
Prof. Washburns appointment
was made by J. R. Mohler, head
of the bureau Of animal industry,
United States Department of
Agriculture. Mr.. Washburn left
Immediately for Grove City,
Penn, where he will attend the
food training camp being con.
Quoted for dairymen of the coun.
try by the government.
Immediately upon his return
Prof. Washburn will launch his
campaign, planning to bring his
summer work to close at the
Minnesota State Fair Food Train.
i ing Camp, Sept 3 to 8. Thruou,
his campaign, Prof. Washburr
will work in cooperation with
the Food Training Camp, which
is now in the voluntary service
of the government.
The governments dairy con
servation undoubtedly will be
conducted along two broad lines
One of these will urge increased
consumption of milk as sub
stitute, to a certain extent, fol
meats and grains. The other viii
urge the utilization of much ol
the milk, especially skinned
milk, which is now wasted, ant
which has high food value.
~One of the greatest crisis in
it's history now confronts the
dairy industry in America"
So says Prof. H. Fl. Kildee, head
of the department of Dairy Hus
bandry at the Minnesota College
|of Agriculture.
This crisis, according to Prof.
Kildee, is due to the fact that an
appalling percentage of dairy
cattle, is being butchered for
food. There are three principal
reasons for this, he says. They
are: The shortage, and conse.
quent high price of feed; scarci.
ty of labor; and the tempting
prices offered by the butchers.
In New England, home of many
fine herds, from so to 20 per cent
of the dairy cattle have been
killed; and the East is now feel
ing the results of this slaughter.
Milk in New York, for instance.
is now selling at from IA to 16
cents a quart.
The Middle West has also suf-
fered heavily in loss Of dairy cat
tie, but the effects here have not
yet become 50 noticeable as in

BIG FAREWELL PARTY
FOR MILLER FAMILY
Bruno and Askov People Unite
in Honoring This Much
Respected Family.

most enjoyable evening was
spent by the many friends of Mr..
and Mrs. j. p. Miller from both
Askov and Bruno at the high
school building in Bruno Tuesday
evening. This was Mr.. Miller's
last year as superintendent of
the Bruno High School, going

teacher who stands for the high

been a great pleasure and graft

Development

Proposed plans for big extensions
on city railways service lines which
have been considered at times by the
Harrisburg Railways directors are to
be submitted to Bion j. Arnold, the
expert whose men are now at work
on survey of the trolley lines
The proposed extensions will be to
provide better service in the outlying
districts. They have been discussed
by the directors, but no action was
taken. They will be given to Mr..
Arnold for approval, with any recon-
mendations or suggestions which
might be included. In case the plans
are not approved, it is expected Mr..
Arnold will suggest other means to
provide service for some of the dis
tricts which are rapidly being de-
veloped into residential sections.

the survey in this city for Mr.. Arnold,
has started extensive Investigations of
service to all points.
1t is expected that the report when
completed and submitted to the COM

service to rural points, schedule
changes, handling of traffic in con-

made to the present lines and sugges-
