Reports to the highway depart

Lug Law Brings Comment
Threshermen and others will be
permitted to use Jugs on wheels
when necessary to move outfits over
highways, according to the highway
department policy, but mud hooks
are barred as a rule. Reports to the
contrary were denied.
'sGood sense will be used, / am
sure, because nobody wants to see
roads damaged unnecessarily, and
that will avoid all difficulties" said
Commissioner Babcock. The re-
port that the department was going
to tie up threshing outfits is absurd
the roads are being built for
farmers more than for other classes
because Minnesota is primarily an
agricultural state"
The law in question was approved
by the legislative committee of the
Minnesota Threshermen's Associa-
tion and other interested parties be-
fore it was enacted.

Disabled Men to
Have Vacation
BIG ISLAND, LAKE MINNETONKA
BEING PREPARES FOR USE
OF SOLDIERS.

All disabled men in Minnesota,
North and South Dakota and Mon
tana, are not going to lack an opport-
unity for a vacation this summer.
Plans are rapidly being formulated
for a summer camp for these men to
be held at Big Island, Lake Mime
tenka, Minnesota. All disabled men,
whether or not they are taking train
ing under the Federal Board are eEgi-
BILE to attend. Mr.. Horace Lowry,
President of the Minneapolis Street
Railway Company is donating this is
land, free of charge, to be used as
recreational center.
The plan for this camp was inaugu-
rated by the Federal Board for Voca=
4ional Education and the money has
been appropriated from the Mime
aDolis War Chest Fund. This money
is to provide for the Construction of
the Buildings, which is now in pro-
gress, and for all overhead expense.
The fee to be demanded from each
man will be but fifteen dollars cover
ing period Of two weeks.
This camp will be under the super
vision of camp director and two re-
ereational supervisors. There will be
no ."K. p" duty for the huddies as
there will be sufficient help provided

Bjornstad, commanding Officer at Fort

a main recreational hall are now under
construction. The Western Passeng-
er Association of Chicago have pro-
vided for reduced rates {fare and a
quarter trip effective August LIST, on
all railroads entering Mime apolis,. for
every disabled man who lives in this
district and wishes to attend this sum-
mer camp.
Every effort has been made to pro-
vide facilities to give every disabled
soldier the time Of his life at Big Is

kind, including swimming, fishing,
boating, and etc. An Athletic instruc-

by manufacturing stills for individual
cars to distill combustible mixture
from crude petroleum and other
chemicals while the car IS in motion,
just as cars generate electric power
while running"
Mr.. Edison said that it is the ambi-
ton of his life to perfect his oil distil-
lation device, and added that car OF
average power so equipped will be able
to produce not only sufficient fuel to
run itself, but enough valuable by
products to pay for the maintenance
of the car. He declared that the in
vention, when completed and market
able, will probably meet with strong
opposition on account of its revolu-
tionary effect on one Of the worlds
largest industries. NBut the oil short
age demands this revolution, and it
will come" he declared.

| All these men succeeded brilliantly
from a material viewpoint, whether
they gave the world great inventions
as Edison did or a cheap popular auto
mobile as Ford did, or whether they
got enormously rich by building up a
great chain Of five and ten-cent stores
! as Woolworth did, or by selling pro-
digious quantities of chewing gum as
Wrigley did.
The list might be heightened indie
finitely. It might be extended into
many fields beyond those of business
or finance. Not in those fields alone
are there great successes; nor are the
greatest successes in those fields.
Probably when we learn the truth
of all things in another world, many
of us are going to be greatly surprised
to learn what really constitutes sue
cess by the measure of the eternal
verities.
But the point is that these men, and
thousands less eminent and in other
fields, have won success because they
had the grit to get over obstacles
where men with less courage would
have given up and joined the vast
ranks of the failures. Poverty was
common thing among them; most OF
them, as the saying goes, started IN
business on shoestring. But that
wasn't the worst obstacle. Most of
them who developed new idea found
their greatest obstacle in the scofflng
unbelief of those to whom they ap-
pealed for capital to help them get
along. No great new idea in any field
has been acclaimed in it's infancy by
everybody. On the contrary, it has
been the common experience that
pretty nearly everybody hooted at
the men who proposed the new idea;
and the cleverer the idea, and the
more revolutionary it's final success,
the greater was the opposition and
the more apparently insurmountable
the skepticism about it's worth.
The world did not acclaim the new
ideas these men brought until they
had toiled and pleaded and worn their
fingers to the bone and walked with
bleeding feet along thorny paths paw
ed with jagged stones to demonstrate
the faith that was in them.

never will hear of had greater ability,
in all but the ability to make use Of
it, than some of those whose successes
are now commonplace everyday
stories. The differences between sue
cess and failure in number of cases
so vast as to warrant making rule OF
it, has been the difference between
courage and doubt, between persist
ence and giving up too easily, between
plain, ordinary grit or stick-to-it-ive-
ness and feeble will.
The moral of it is easy to draw:
Have a purpose; have faith in it and
in yourself; dig in; hang on; drive
through; face down all obstacles in
stead of shrinking before them.
This advice was never so timely as
it is now, when more difficulties than
usual confront all constructive effort,
and when victory is reserved for those
who have faith and courage.-Duluth
Herald.

Bureau Fights
Tuberculosis
ADVISE PREVENTATIVE MEA
SURES BE TAKEN TO STOP
THE SPREAD OF IT.

The Renville County Swine Breed
ers Association and Farm Bureau has
taken up fight to eliminate tuber-
culosis from all pure bred herds in
Renville County and any grade herds
whose owners will test. tuberculosis
causes immence losses yearly, to be
farmer as is shown from the stats
tics prepared by the tuberculosis
Eradication Committee of the South
ST. Paul .Echange. Their new pam
phlet just published shows that:
1. Eleven percent of the hogs on
American farms have tuberculosis.
2. 5000 carloads of cattle and
hogs were consigned to rendering
tanks for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1921, fit only for inedible grease
or fertilizer.
3. This means a virtual waste of
10000 carloads of feed that went in
to these animals which were condem-
ed.
4. In addition, 1000 carloads of
meat animals were sterilized for tu-
berculosis in 1920 and were put in
cans labeled "Sterilized Meat" re-
sulting in another economic loss.
5. tuberculosis in swine has in
creased from per cent in 1908 to
II percent in 1920. More than one
half of all swine carcasses condem-
ed in 1919 and more than nine-tenths
of condemned parts of swine carcesses
were result of tuberculosis infection.
tuberculosis is not highly conta-
gious disease and it can be elimin-
ated from the premises if the source
of the infection is found. Nearly all
of the tuberculosis in hogs comes
from cattle, either from the
droppings of cattle, having the dis
ease or from infected milk. This dis
ease is more prevalent among milk
cows than steers because they are
allowed to live to an older age and
usually kept in closer confinement.
The principal benefits from tubercu-
losis eradication are as follows:
1. Increased value of Individual
animals and increased herd value.
2. Ability to ship interstate from
accredited herds without further test
ing for one year.
8. Confidence by those who desire
to purchase cattle to add to their
herds.
d. Satisfaction in knowing that
the dairy products used at home as
well as offered for sale are free from
disease germs.
5. Elimination of economic losses
caused by disease.
No man would willingly feed his
children milk from tuberculosis cat
tie, but thousands of children con-
tract the disease yearly from drink
ing milk from tuberculosis herds
Different organizations are spending
millions to combat tuberculosis but
the place to start is the elimination
of tuberculer milk cows from the
farms of the state. Camp township
and Boon Lake township and many
farmers around Olivia and Hector
have already tested their herds. A
recent test made in herd of Boon
Lake Township, % of the "a animals
tested were found to be tuberculer.
Hogs that are tuberculer, taken onto
another farm will spread the disease.
Camp township no what some 20
herds under State and Federal testing
and Boon Lake township nearly as
many more. The state meets the
farmer half way and if farmer
will sign up an application contract
for testing he can have his herd test
ed within six months after contract

Washington, March 9-The Secre-
tary of Commerce, Mr.. Alexander, is
giving his hearty support to the pro-
ject of the fishery societies of the
country designating March 8 as Ma
tional Fish Day, and he is urging the
people everywhere to aid in making
the day a success by having fish for
at least one meal on that date. He is
asking, also, that the dealers coop
crate wholehearted by affordihg their
cusOmers an opportunity to buy the
best fish at reasonable prices and that
they advertise the occasion not only
in the public press but by attractive
displays of fish and other sea foods
in their places of business. The beau
ty and strangeness of form and color
exhibited by the great variety of fish
es have made the public aqariums of
the world the most attractive of ed
ucational exhibits and not little of
this interest can be sustained and
sales stimulated by the neat, clean,
and orderly arrangement of the stalls
when they are sold for food pur-
poses.

1t was decided to ask each of the

each church of the city, name two
members of the Welfare Council, and
from this council will be selected an
executive committee. Just as soon
as all of the organizations have nam

Song Leader Stone has been here

There has been no discussion, as

TAYLOR URGES
REORG tAxlSTZAT TION
IN TENNESSEE

Nashville, Tenn, March S-Com-
plete reorganization of the state gov
ernment was recommended to the
State Legislature in a message today
from Governor A. A. Taylor, when
the legislature re-convened after its
recess.
The governor called for centraliza-
tion of state government into seven
or eight departments, abolition of a
number of state offices as unnecessary
and the extensive legislation of state
functions by a committee of three;
one from the house, one from the sem
ate, and one to be appointed by the
governor.
The message was direct answer of
the republican executive to a chal-
lenge from the democratic legislature
in regard to a previous message he
had addressed to the legislative body
in which he asked the abolition of
uSGISSo OlllCGS' Lie lSS lSldJuIS dShCu
the governor to be more explicit and
to name the offices he considered use
less.
In his message, Governor Taylor
asked, among other offices, the aboli-
tion of the tax statistical department,
most of the offices of which are filled
by staunch supporters of the former
democratic administration and who
are presumably in the favor of the
democratic majority in the legisla-
ture.
Governor Taylor's suggestions for
reorganization of the state govern
ment is along the lines effected in
Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska and 9TH
er states which have sought central
ization of the executive functions of
the state government.
