PURE BRED LIVESTOCK
AT CROOKSTON AUCTION:
CHANCE FOR BREEDERS

= That Red River Valley live stock
breeders are looking after the future
welfare of the live stock industry in
this section has more than manifest
ed itself this past week, according 10
w. v. Gousseff, secretary Of the Red
Rivery Valley Live Stock association.
Many of the prominent breeders OF
beef and dairy cattle, sheep and
swine are selecting some of the good
individuals from their herds and are
sending them to the live stock show
at Crookston, where February IL,
159 head will be, offered at public
sauctioir. So y Y VI
Such an opportunity does not
often present itself and farmers in
terested in purchasing some good
stock should avail themselves of this
splendid opportunity. Some OF the
men offering the stock are taking
breeding animals from their herds,
simply to assure buyers that good
stock will be sold and to SOW the seed
in this section which when harvested
will mean dollars to the fortunate
purchasers of stock at the first an
nual winter sale held in Crookston,
February IL, in connection with the
already famous farm crops and live
stock show. -

$50 MILLIONS ASKED
TO RUN RAILROADS

Washington, Jan. 27.-The rail-
road administration needs $750,000,-
600 more for its revolving fund to
supplement the $500,000,000 origin
ally provided and now practically ex-
hausted. In preparing this estimate
for congress, Director General Hines
explained that S196,000,000 Of the
sum represents loss to the govern
ment incurred in operation last year,
and the remainder representing ad-
vances to railroad companies, to be
repaid eventually with interest.
Congress will be asked Immediately
to appropriate this amount which
Mr.. Hines declared would be neces-
sary regardless Of whether the rail-
roads were returned to private man
ageme ent within a few months or re-
tanned longer.
The director general estimated
that $368,193,000 would be required
this year to finance capital enter
prises, such as improvements and
purchase of cars and locomotives,
which railroad companies are not
able to finance without borrowing
from the government.
This figure also includes $12,840,-
600 for contemplated expenditures on
inland waterways and s20,000,000 to
finance reorganization of the Bos-
ton G. Maine.

''That will be all right, we'll tend

doughboys assured her. And they
did. Two of them walked over 20
miles that night from one village TO
another, making almost house-to-
house canvass for eggs, and coming
back tired but triumphant with them
at dawn. 1t had been a crisp, winter
night, and the water that the Y. M.
G.. A.. worker had put outside had
frozen solid in it's bucket. She made
rich custard, and the boys froze 1t
for her by turning smaller bucket
around inside a larger one full of
cracked ice Then she carried 1t to
the boy in the emergency ward. He
lay rather paler and duieter than he
had been the day before, but his
smile was just as quick.
"Ice-cream? MOI" he said" +"
Don't wake me UP, I'm dreaming"
Iae couldn't eat a great deal of it,
after all, only few spoonfuls, but
it seemed to satisfy him completely.
'tIt tastes just like that used to
freeze for mother on Sundays" ne
said. Maybe you wouldn't mind
writing letter to mother for me?
Tell her-Oh, well, just tell her I had

BE A PROFiT-SHARER In
THIS GREAT COUNTRY
Every War Savings Stamp You Buy
Gives You a Greater "Stake"
in the Land You Love.

All over the United States a profit
sharing wave is in progress. The
great industrial firms and employers
of the country, quick to see the way
industrial and economic straws are
blowing, on all sides are putting into
active practice ideas and plans and
theories that not so long since would
nave been regarded as absurdly Uto-
plan and visionary The American
WOrkingman is not only invited, but
urged to become a profit-sharing part
ner instead of mere Garner of wages.
1t is interesting, in this connection, to
note that the United States govern
ment was practically first in this wide
and promising field.
The "stock distribution PLAN most
favored by large employers of the
present era is precisely that first ia
vOred by Uncle Sam in regard to gov
eminent investments and savings.
Evolved with view of encoursgfng
thrift" is the apt phrase most popu-
lar in such connections. II tallies adj
mirably with Uncle Sans similar and
preliminary plan and propaganda.
Even in regard to the regulations rem
dering it possible for the low-salaried
worker with serious family obligations
to invest is the new industrial idea
patterned after that Of Uncle Sam.
Every man, woman and child in the
United States may, at will, become a
governmental investor, purchase, at
small price, genuine "stake in the
country" share in the economic sys-
tenn SO successfully prevailing. Huge
numbers of American citizens, Of
course have acquired such stake in
the shape Of Liberty bonds, most fire.
quently, perhaps, bought on the easy
payment plan. And for those who find
it more convenient to invest small
sums, or who are anxious to establish
the habit Of sane, steady, systematic
savings Thrift and War Savings
stamps are offered.
The price Of a Thrift stamp is but a
quarter. Four Thrift stamps may be
purchased for the sum paid in, week
~, by the majority of the industrial in
vestors in the large firms and stock
companies. And purchase of 16 Thrift
stamps, with the addition Of a few
pennies, means War Savings stamp
which means, in turn, an income
bearing governmental security, monde
preciab1e, nontaxable, nonfuctuating,
maturing in five years, earning high
rate Of interest, compounded quarterly
and redeemable, at exact face value,
at any juncture. The new profit-shar-
ing plan and propaganda deserve com.
mendation,' encouragement in all ways,
but it should not be forgotten, when
appreciative recognition is in order,
that our Uncle Samuel "went and did
it first"

SCHOOL AND HOME W. S. S. AID
Secretary of Wisconsin Organization
Shows Ways in Which Thrift
Can Be Taught.

BY P. F. Neverman, Executive Secre-
tary Of Wisconsin w. S. S. organiza-
ton:
While we we're at war it was easy
to be enthusiastically patriotic. War
time patriotism, while splendid, did
not have the staying qualities so nee
essary for the finishing of the job and
rapidly declined and in places disap-
peared altogether after November II,
1918. It is the peace time patriotism,
the patriotism which delivers without
martial music, that must and will fin
ish the job.
We are called to lay the founda-
ton for the payment Of the tremen-
rous obligations incurred by our gov
eminent during the period of strife.
We must SO inculcate in the coming
generation, those now in school, the
idea of thrift, that they will meet the
obligations of their time.
Real thrift can be taught by two
agencies, the school and the home.
Between these two stands the commu-
nifty and industrial savings society to
REINFORCE the work of both. It is
vital to the success of the movement
that societies be organized in every
lodge, factory, store, office, club, and
school in the state.

Corfu's Claim to Fame.

The island of Corfu claims a mari
time history antedating that Of Ath-
ems. According to tradition, this was
the land Of the Phaeacians, and here
Ulysses landed in the course Of his
wanderings, and on this seashore that
delightful story had it's setting, which
Homer tells, of how the hero received
much-needed hospitality and kindness
at the hands of Nausicaa, the daughter
of King Alcinous-perhaps the most
beautiful episode in all the odyssey"
Indeed, to this day two islands close to
the shores of Corfu dispute the honor
of being the ship of Ulysses turned
into stone.
