Minnesota farmers are telling con-

Incomplete returns from "a coun-

least 10000 of the 17S,000 farmers
in the state could ship quantities OF

were cut.

not found present railroad rates a
grave handicap in marketing their
crops.
Sixteen questions were submitted

RETURN FROM THE WEST

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Rogers and
family returned to Sank Centre last
week after an absence of nearly one
year in the West. Herald readers
will remember that colony Of Sank
Centre folks left for the extreme
West by auto last fall, expecting to
locate there permanently if they
found climate and conditions to their
liking. Mr.. Rogers and family are
the first to return, although several
of the others are longing for Mime
sofa. Mr.. Rogers says the West may
be all right if one has plenty of mon
ey, but it is Minnesota for him from
this time forward. The family are
domiciled in cottage at Fairy Lake
for the present but will probably
move onto farm within the next few
weeks.

LOCAL BATH HOUSES ARE
A DISGRACE

Down in the City Park at the
public bathing beach, there are
two public bath houses, owned
by the city and operated under
the auspices of the park board.
These bath houses are at
present in an extremely filthy
condition, and hardly fit to be
used by the hundreds of people
who use the bathing beach.
During the opening weeks of
the bathing season, the local
troop of Boy Scouts made sew
eral attempts to keep these
houses clean and have gone to
the trouble of scrubbing them
out and putting them in shape
for general use, but the at
temps at cleanliness upon the
part of the scouts is not meet
ing with the cooperation of the
public and there is hardly an
occasion when it is either safe
or sanitary to use the public
bath houses.
For the welfare of the COM
munity and the protection Of
those using the bathing beach
it would be a timely act for the
city council to appoint a care
taker for these lighthouses
during the bathing season. The
erection and maintenance OF
these buildings has been an ex-
pense to the city, but in their
present state, they are entirely
unfit for use.

VIRGINIA TO MONTANA
IN EXPRESS WAGON

Hauling ones wife from
Wheeling, Va, to Montana in
child's express wagon is some
job.
Yet that is just what w. G.
Carter is doing.
After having been on the
road for Sc days the family
stopped for lunch near the w.
HI. Barnette residence in the
south part of the~city last Sat-
urday.
Besides his little wife, the
wagon also contained a small
tent and other necessary artic-
les.
The gentleman stated that
there was no employment to be
had in his section of the cOun-
try and his wife's brother who
lives in Montana stated he
would find work there if he
could get there.
Short stops were made in the
principal towns and cities en-
route.
Mr.. Carter had a sort of har-
ness arrangement with which
he hitched himself to the wa
gan. Their funds were run
ming low when they reached
Sank Centre, but both were en-
ioying good health and were
confident they would complete
their journey without great
difficulty.

"Get Results" is the order issued
by Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner in starting out the
big army of road patrolmen now at
work patching, mending and smooth
ing trunk routes in this and virtual
ly all other parts of Minnesota
"You are coming in daily contact
with highway users and your effici-
ency and courtesy will have an i'm
portant bearing on public estimation
of highway work in general" the
commissioner added. Keep your
section smooth, for riding quality is
the commonest test Of highway"
Announcement that virtually all
trunk highways have been taken over
by the state for maintenance and i'm
provement is of great Importance to
the different communities. 1t seems
that the counties are relieved by the
state of the big burden of building
and keeping up these costly roads
which heretofore have taken the bulk
of available road money. Elimina-
ton of this heavy expense leaves the
local authorities with almost as much
money and considerably more time to
devote to the improvement OF the
laterals or feeder roads.
The state, assuming responsibility
for the trunk highways, has set aside
100000 this season for mainten-
ance work and is depending upon this
feature of the general plan to bring
the first noticeable benefits under
Amendment No. to all parts of the
state, according to W. F. Rosewood,
chief maintenance engineer.

Caruso of China.

Lou Hoong-Shen, the Caruso Of
China, is dead. You never heard of
him? Yet, he died In a Shanghai
theater that had contracted TO pay
him $4,000 a week. That's a big
salary. 1t is phenomenally big in
China, where a few cents a day viii

parents, Lou Hoong-Shen had to
scramble for a living. But, though
China is land of musical voices (as
anyone will testify who has listened
10 the songs of the hawker and the
coolie), the boy Lou stood alone. He
had the most wonderful voice among
100000 Chinese. Despite this, he
had to work hard before he became
great. For many years he was num-
mer-a Chinese actor. Ten years ago
he was discovered" In Shanghai. At
once he quit the paint and weird garb
of a Chinese actor and became mu-

great Chinese tenor died from a burst

RED CROSS WORKING
FOR HEALTHIER U. s.
Thousands Aided by Instruction
in Care of the Sick, Food Sc
lection and First Aid.

How the American Red Cross guides
thousands of persons to health Is
shown in a summary Of the society's
activities in the health field based
upon the annual report for the last fls-
cal year. Through its Nursing Service,
its Home Hygiene and Care of the
Sick courses, nutrition classes, First
Air classes, Life-Saving classes and
Health Centers and In numerous other
ways designed to acquaint masses Of
citizens with proper methods of living,
the Red Cross carried its message Of
health into all parts of the country.
The work of the Red Cross during
the war in its traditional field of nurs-
Ing, furnishing the military and naval
establishments OF the nation with 49,
81 nurses, is well known And there
are today 37,7S7 nurses registered with
the American Red Cross and subject
to call In emergency During the ifs
cal year, 1851 Red Cross nurses were
accepted for assignment to Govern
ment service, 3SS by the Army and
Navy and 1,163 by the United States
Public Health Service.
In addition to the nurses enrolled
by the Red Cross for Government serv-
Ice. the Red Cross itself employed a
total Of 1,34S public health nurses In
the United States and Europe BY far
the greatest number was employed In
the United States, 1,257, while 81 were

Thousands Of these men receiving
medical treatment, compensation and
vocational training from the Govern.
ment today, started their efforts to
obtain them through the Red Cross
Chapter. The Chapter, acting as the
disabled mans agent in claims against
the Government, informs the man as TO
the procedure necessary to gain for
him that which is provided him by
Federal statute. His applications for
compensation, medical treatment and
training are properly filed with the aid
of the Red Cross Chapter.
Many Forms Of Assistance
II there Is delay before the mans
claim is acted upon, the Red Cross
Chapter lends the man money to meet
the imperative needs of himself and
his dependents.
Most vital to the mans gaining full
benefit from the Governments care is
keeping his mind free from worry about
his home. Keeping the veterans fam
fly from hardship of every kind and
informing him of fits welfare is an.
other province Of the Chapter. Free
from fear on this score, the mans re-
covery and advancement usually is
rapid.
Every month during the last year,
the American Red Cross has given
service of one kind or another to an
average Of 129,215 former service men
and their families. An indication Of
the extent Of the faith reposed in the
Red Cross Chapter is to be found in
the fact that there were 356,544 re-
quests for friendly aid in the solution
OF personal problems.

TALMADGE SISTERS TO
CLOSE STUDIOS HERE
Decide to Produce Pictures IN
Los Angeles.

The East Is going 10 lose two or Its
most popular motion picture stars. the
Misses Norma and Constance Talmadge.
On November 10. Il was learned yester-
day. they will give up their twin studios
at sis East Forty-eighth street and
abandon photoplay production here In
favor OF Los Angsles.
Their decision has come about largely
through the renewal of thsir contract
with First National Exhibitors Circuit.
Inc. lust effected through their man
ager, Joseph NJ. Schenck. who is Miss
Norma Talmadge's husband. Under the
terms OF the new arrangement. which
is TO run for thrse years. the two stars
are to receive share In the profits OF
their pictures that has been increased
from GO to 70 per cent. over the amount
they have bsen receiving.
In connection with the contract It also
was arranged that they are to appear
before the camera in studios rented IN
conjunction with First National. This
rental will be cheaper than the main
tenance of their New York studios.
which called for an overhead of about
$4,000 q week.
Not only will general expenses be
lower out West, but other factors are
drawing the Talmadge sisters away
from the field where thsy have achieved
their greatest screen success. The sun
light in California Is considered far su-
perior for Photographic purposes to that
here Moreover, facilities for taking
open air pictures are better out there
because OF the long rainless season.
Altogether the film actresses have de-
cided that the West would be more ad-
vantageous for the programme of
fewer and better pictures" to which
they are committed.

Legend In the Play.

Mr.. Thurston has written a play quite
as British as any of his other fiction.
re has not divided its progress into
acts but phases The hero who is des-
tined to live through the ages is the
Jew who sought out the Saviour to heal
hls lovelight who lay dying of fever.
He is only warned by the Nazarene
that she win be well once he has re-
stored her to the man to whom she Is
married.
He Is indignant at this audacity when
the PROCESSION to Calvary is seen passing
his windows. He ruehes out to heap
further. indignities on this man. He
returns with the curse of unending life
on him. He is TO wander down the
world until there has been expiation
lr his own life.
This was. OF course. the first phase
