would stifie some producers.
1.-The price ultimately agreed was o
cents above these figures. or about one
fifth Of a cent per pound to the Ameri-
can consumer, anu more than this
amount has been saved by our reduc-
ton in refiners' profits. If we wish to
stifie production in Cuba we could
take that course just at the time OF all
times in our history when we want
production for ourselves and the al
lies. Further than that, the state de-
partment will assure you that such a
course would produce disturbances In
Cuba and destroy even our present
supplies, but beyond all these material
reasons Is one of human justice. This
great country has no right by the
might OF its position to strange Cuba.
Therefore there Is no imposition
upon the American public. Charges
have been made before this commit
tee that Mr.. Rolph endeavored to BEN
eft the California refinery of which he
was manager by this 81 cent increase
In Cuban price. Mr.. Rolph did not fix
the price. 1t does raise the price TO
the Hawaiian farmer about that
amount It does not raise the profit of
the California refinery, because their
charge for refining is, like all other re-
finers, limited to s13O per hundred
pounds, plus the, freight differential on

STEARNS COUNTY is PARTIC-
ULARLY ADAPTED TO THE
RAISING OF GOOD TOBACCO

During the past few years the re-
markable agriculture development
which Stearns county has experienced
must be attributed largely to the di-
versified system of farming which is
being practiced by the farmers of this
county. Until this year the acreage
devoted to wheat has gradually de-
creaced being replaced to consider
able extent by corn and other feed
crops which were consumed on the
farm givig the farmer an opportun-
ity to market his farm products in a
more finished form and reduce ma
terially the amount of plant food re-
moved from the soil. Wherever live
stock is fed and the excitement prop
erly conserved and restored to. the
farm the need of commercial fertiliz-
ers is reduced almost to a minimum =
However at the present time we find
that in addition to live stock and gen.
.eral diversified grain farming that a
new crop is gradually finding place
in the county especially in the eastern
sections. In the neighborhood of st.
Cloud, Richmond and Kimball it is not
uncommon to find farmers growing
from an acre to five acres of tobacco.
In visiting during the past few
weeks number of the tobacco farms
in this section we find that the tobacco
growers are planning on gross re-
turn of as high as $500 per acre from
the acreage devoted to this crop. AS
our farms become divided into quarter
sections, 80 acre and 40 acre of size
the question of how to get the larg-
est return per acre becomes more inn
portant than with farms ranging from
quarter section to half section in
size. Judging from the access and
the enthusiasm which tobacco growers
in the eastern part of the county are
now showing in tobacco culture there
is no doubt but what the acreage will
continue to increase in Stearns county.
Thine Farm Bureau is planning on
starting second series of illustrated
lectures drought the county during
the week beginning Oct. 13. Tobacco
growing will be one of the topics
under discussion at these night meet
ings. Mr.. Charley Lion who was for
a number Of years employed by the
state as tobacco specialist and who is

Surgical Dressings Report.

For the year beginning Dec. 1917,
Sank Centre Branch A. r. G.
Surgical Dressings classes~were Or
ganized in Sank Centre during the
month of December with Miss AVIS
Rowe as instructor and Mrs. Julian
! Dubois as chairman of supplies. In
! fact it was largely due to the en-
thusiastic work of these two people
| that we were able to take up the work
at all. During the winter months
there were about ten classes a week
including the cutting classes which in
many cases were as large as the fold
ing classes. The cutting classes how
ever. were abandoned in the spring
when we begain to buy ready-cut
pauze. Glasses have averaged about
sixteen members. During the months
of Juy, August and September, work
ers have been called together when
ever materials were at hand-no re-
gular schedule being observed.
A mems class was organized In the
winter which proved success for
some time but finally had to be given
up on account of the many demands
on the mems time for other war
work.
We have made during the year,
sponges, 9x9 congresses, AKA com,
presses, oakum pads, AKA wipes, Xxx
wipes, ,Sx6 folds, 8x12 cotton pads, pa
per backed irrigation pads, Sx12 and
split irrigation pads. We have ship
ped 41,293 small dressings and 96O
nads Of various kinds. Besides the
main department we have had work
room in Hoboken under the supervls-
ion of Mrs. McCollum which has done
a great deal of very satisfactory work
and about twenty ladies have worked
under the direction of Mrs. l.. ..
Irish, making pneumonia jackets.
They have turned out over 200 jackets
These have~not all been shipped as
they have not been called for.
During the month of April Miss
Rowe was called away and Mrs. E. A.
Richards, having duly qualified, was
appointed instructor. AS helpers IN
charge of work rooms, she has had
Mrs. Geo. Fish, Miss Ethel WinsloW,
Mrs. Strong, Mrs. Burgess and Mrs.
Dock. During this months Mrs. L. L.
Kells also took over Mrs. Dubois work
as chairman of supplies.
1t has been rather difficult to ind a
suitable place for this work but we
are now very comfortably situated IN
the Junior High school building and
have a faithful, enthusiastic corps OF
workers so we hope to be able to turn
| out each months allotment without

To Relieve Burns Quickly


There is no other minor injury quiz
as painful as burn, and to the house
wife constantly about hot stove, ~
injury quite as common.
The quickest way to relieve the pan
Ito "'take out the fire" as the old say
ing has it's to battle burn with a
saturated solution of 20 Mule Teaa
Powdered Boric, using one ounce Of
Boric to a quart of waters This win
relieve the inflammation. If the burn
is deep, apply with absorbent gauze =
lotion made of 8 OF. lime water, Oh.
raw linseed oil and rs grains of thy
mol. This lotion is cooling and heal
ing and tends to prevent the puckering
and drawing of the injured skin into
the scar.
If the burn is severe, physician
should be called at once and the In
jury given professional attention.

ARMY PHYSICIANS
 REST HERE; GOING
 ID CAMP CODY

Col G. E. Bushnell, in charge of the department of internal medicine for the surgeon generals office of the United States army, accompanied by Col. c. N. Dercle of the French army medical corps, were at the Adams hotel yesterday for q brief rest, while en route to Deming, New Mexico.
 Colonel Bushnell is making an ex- tended inspection trip covering the tuberculosis hospitals maintained by the army department. He has visited the hospital at Denver, Whipple Bar racks at Prescott, and before returning to Washington will go to Fort Bayard, near Deming. He expressed himself as highly pleased at the work of reclaim ing ailing soldiers being done by these army hospitals.
 The hospital at Denver" said the colonel, lis a fine institution, modern and permanent, and will accommodate 2000 patients. Whipple Barracks at Prescott is being enlarged to accom- modate 1000 patients, but is handi- capped at present by a lack of labor A vocational department for the re- education and training of these men in new lines more adapted to their pres ent condition than their former voca- tions, is planned. Fort Bayard, where we are now bound, has long been the army hospital for the treatment of pull mOnary disease, but has lately been enlarged to accommodate 1900 pa tients.
 'The tendency to tuberculosis in the army is far less than in civil life, owing to the outdoor life, splendid care, and fine condition of the enlisted men," Colonel Dercle of the French army who is accompanying Colonel Bushnell on this inspection trip, is the 'liaison officer" assigned to the staff of the sur geon general at Washington by the | French army medical corps. His duty is that of the connecting link between the medical departments of the two armies. He expressed himself as much | pleased with the methods used in the care of ailing American soldiers.
