Under the direction Of the Mime
sofa Public Health association the an

in the state for funds with which to
fight tuberculosis and other diseases.
The association has been very active
in it's works during the past year and
much good has been accomplished in
nearly every community ir the state.
In Bemidji during the past year
there has been held two baby elm
les and one tuberculosis clinic under
the direction of the state organization

Unceasing warfare has been de-
clared against tuberculosis in this
state and the association urges every

rectly to headquarters, where neces-

Minnesota Companies Asking
Increase Totaling Over
Four Million
WOULD MEAN THIRTY
PER CENT INCREASE
Companies Claim They Are Not
Able to Meet Obligations
With Present Rate
(By United Press)

St. Paul, Dec. IAN Increase il
telephone rates aggregating $4.4S9,
507 has been asked by the Tri-Stat'
and Northwestern telephone compan
les in Minnesota. The applications
were filed today by both companies
with The state railroad and ware
house commission. The companies
asked permission to increase their
rates beginning January l.
F.. w. Putnam, commissioner in
charge of the telephone matter, esti-
mated today that this means an ad-
vance of more than 80 per cent for
telephone services over the present
rate. The 1ri-State telephone com
pany, which operates in St. Paul and
southern Minnesota. proposed to in
crease it's rates so that the gross
earnings will be increased $1,544,O22
and the Northwestern which con-
trolls Minneapolis and thruout the
northern section Of the state, asked
permission to increase it's gross earn
ing to $2,945,575.
The reason given by both COM
panies is that they are unable to
meet their obligations at the present
rates and because of the increased
cost of labor and equipment it will
be necessary to ask for an increase.
The Tri-State company has about
1000 subscribers and the North
west about 15S.0OO who will be eff
lected if the request is allowed. Put
man declined to say what action will
be taken on the applications. The
companies stated they have been un-
able to pay dividends on their COM
mon stock and that an increase of
the Tri-state company of more than
twelve millions will be made in the
next five years to pay off indebted
ness and improve conditions.
The Northwestern claimed they
need 100000 for the same pur-
pose during the next five years. Ac-
cording to the department, the COM
panies are now facing crisis and
require prompt relief.

Mexico has another man who can

Enroll Your Boys and Girls in
Club Work

To every parent and every teacher
who reads this article / would like
to make this appeal: "Try to get
every boy in your home or school be-
tween 10and Is years old enrolled in
some kind of club work this year"
To get any boy actively interested
in club work this year believe will
be worth as much as months school
ing to that boy-and maybe worth
more. For the great value of club
work is that it not only provides in
formation as a school does, but it also
provides inspiration and social can
tact and so develops qualities of
leadership which might otherwise re-
main forever dormant.
1t is already getting late for some
kinds of club work. Consequently
parents and teachers who are at all
interested should lose no time in get
ting their children's names to the
county agent. The time limit for en-
rollment is March 81.
Any farm father or mother could
we'll afford to pay $40 apiece for the
privilege of enrolling any son in club
work this year-and hundreds would
no doubt do so if club work were
comercial proposition and agents
were travelling over the county try
ing to get members enlisted. Now
that the service is offered to all
without money and without price,"
we should be no less eager to take
advantage of it.
Any boy of girl within the age
limits may enroll as club member,
even if not single other neighbor-
hood boy or girl in interested. In
order to get the full benefits of club
work, however, there should be a
local club Of five or more members.
Expert supervision and advice and
helpful demonstration can be given
to local clubs which are not available
to individual club members working
alone. Each boy or girl wishing to
join any particular club therefore is
asked to try to get at least four other
neighborhood boys and girls to join
the same club and so have local or
ganization with meetings and officers.
The clubs that are being organized
in the county this spring are the pig
club, corn club, potato club, and calf
club.
