BANKERS AND FARMERS

There was a lot of wholesome un-
derstanding arrived at in st. Cloud
last Friday when the bankers and
farmers of Stearns county got to-
gether at the Commercial Club to
"thresh out" if possible, some of the
little grievances which have been
confronting both in the past.
Perhaps the most important
item in the whole program was the
impression left with the farmer that
the bankers and the Federal Re-
serve people are ready and willing
to do all that they can to help right
the present disagreeable conditions
with which the farmer is confronted.
There has always been some mis-
apprehension between the farmer and
banker-neither fully understanding
the other and there is better feel
ing existing since the conference
last Friday.
Summing up the whole affair, it
is hard to see how either the farm
er or the banker, in this section OF
the country could well get along
without each other.
The old feeling that the banker
and the business man are not inter-
ested in the farmer, is fast being
overcome. A general cooperation be-
tween the farmer and all business
men is necessary to the public wei
fare. The precedent started with the
bankers at st. Cloud is good one
and should be followed up by similar
action among all business men.
When the farmer and the business
men find a common ground upon
which they can meet and discuss
business one of the greatest OF pres
ent day problems has been solved.

How Weather Affects Brain.

Most persons have wondered at
times why it is that their moods de.
pend so much on the weather. A crisp,
frosty day makes one feel cheerful and
energetic. A damp, dull one tends to
cause depression and listlessness. Dull,
rainy weather means low barometer.
When the barometer is low the reduced
pressure of the atmosphere let's the
blood vessels near the surface of the
skin dilate or swell, and, so take up
more than their share of blood. This
makes the brain anemic and the flow
Of ideas runs slowly.

DANIELS AND MANY
 ASSISTANTS TO BE
 CALLED TO TESTIFY
Court of Inquiry at Newport Plans Thorough Probe of Conditions In
 That Naval District
ey Associated Pre-.

Newport R. |, February 12-An- nouncement that the Secretary and the Assistant Secretary of the Navy and heads of various naval department bureaus would be called as witnesses by the naval court of inquiry which is investigating conditions in the New port district, was made by Judge Ad- vocate Henry I. Hyneman today.
 The announcement came after the judge advocate had asked Attorney F. F. Nolan. counsel for the Ministers Union, to supply within weeks time "a list of witnesses he wishes called together with statement as to what he proposes to show with these wit nesses."
 Hyneman later said:
 "Counsel can exclude from that list the names of the Secretary and the As sistant Secretary of the Navy and heads of various bureaus of the navy department. because I intend to call them myself
 It was said the court would probably adjourn to Washington when the naval officials are called.
 Rev. Stanley c. Hughes of this city continued his testimony of last week on the question of legal evidence in the possession of Newport ministers to substantiate their charges of conditions here.
 Rev. Wilbur Nelson. pastor of the First Baptist Church, testified that the case of the Rev. Samuel Neale Kent recently acquitted of vice charges, was not the only reason that prompted the Newport ministers to address their open letter of January 10 to President Will son in protest against alleged vice con ditions in this naval district

ANSWERS TO PREVIOUS
 QUESTIONS

1. Are British birds more prolific than ours?
 One of the most significant facts observed while in England and Scot land was the number of eggs in the birds nests Are these British birds then, 1 said, like the people, really more prolific than our own? Such is. undoubtedly, the fact. The common British wren, which is nearly identical with our winter wren. often does lay upward of twenty eggs. while ours lays five or six. All or nearly all eX- ceed the mum Der laid by corresponding species in this country.
 ?. What sectoins of the country are poor for wheat and what effect has this on the bones of the population?
 It is found that those sections of the country that have been longest eN- posed to the leeching and washing of the rains. are poorest in those sub stances that go to the making of the osseous framework of man and of the animals. Wheat does not grow well there, and the men born and reared there are apt to have brittle bones
 3. What wild vine is pleasing to the eye and offensive to the nose?
 The production of the plant. smilax herbacea, is a curious freak of nature. It find it growing along the fences where one would look for wild roses or the sweetbriar; it's recurving or climbing stem, its glossy. deep-green. heartshaped leaves, it's clusterin2 umbels of small greenish yellow flowers, making it very pleasing to the eye; but to examine it closely one must positively hold his nose It is like the vent of charnel house.
