MIN N ESOTA LEADS
States Shipments to Famine Suffer
ers Exceed All Others in Pro-
portion to the Corp.
Potter Thanks Growers Who Set
National Record in Generosity,
"A Cars Are Ordered.

St. Paul, April 18.-Minnesota far
mers who have raised A carloads o.
corn to save the lives of famine SUI
ferers in Poland, central Europe aRc
Asia Minor, gave more grain, in pro
portion to their crop, than any Other
state in the union, officers of the
Minnesota Farm Buren, were notified
today.
Starting their corn relief drive al
most month after the other states
launched the campaign, Minncsota's
farmers took third place in the actual
quantity of grain donated. Illinois
which raised four and one half times
as much corn as Minnesota, gave q
little more than three times as much
for relief work. Ohio, which raises
twice as much, gave only so per cent
more, and Indiana raising more than
twice as much just equalcd Minneso-
ta's record with al cars.
Every dollars worth of corn, at
American prices, represents food
worth at least $12 when it
reaches the famine zones, Carl s.
Vrooman, former assistant secretary
of agriculture and director of the
American Farm Bureau federation
corn relief drive said. On that basis,
Minnesota federation officers an
nounced, the gift of the farmers of
this state is equivalent to $25O,OOO in
food for the starving abroad.
The total gift of American farmers
is 431 carloads of shclled corn, or
more than 100000 bushels.
Watonwan and Renvillc counties
tied for first place in Minnesota, each
giving five cars. Lyon county gave
four, Blue Earth 8, Nicollct 2, Fari-
bault and Martin joining to load an
other car; Freeborn 2, LeSueur 2, Big
Stone 2, Chippewa 2, Pipestonc 1, Da-
kota 1, Winona 1, Waseca /, Steele /,
jackson l, Lincoln 1, Cottonwood /,
Mobiles 1, Stearns I, Swift 700 bushels,
Kandiyohi 200 bushels. Loading will
continue through this month.
L. E. Potter, president Of the state
farm bureau federation, sent a mes
sage of thanks to the county bureaus
that made the drive a success.
"The relief drive demonstrated to
the whole state that the farmer is as
generous, as broad minded and as
public spirited as any other citizens
anywhere in the world" he said.
minnesota farmers did more than
anyone had a right to expect. With
spring work keeping them in the fields
and bad roads hampering collections,
1t is almost marvellous that in less than
8 weeks the farmers should have
raised more than 40 carloads"

New Rochelle, N. Y, June S7.-Su-
preme Court Justice Keogh today
limited until June IA the stay which
he granted yesterday in the Stillman
divorce course.
At the same time he gave council
for Mrs. Anne U. Stillman permis-

her banker husbands complaint
charging her with infdelity. De-

day that if this permission were re-

nal answer, Mrs. Stillman; named
Mrs. Florence A. Leeds, an ex-chorus

the grades of the same, is bringing
to light the fact that this socalled
surplus will be enormously reduced
by "unspinnable" cotton.
"When these facts are establish
ed and when exports become opened
up the question Of sufficient sup
plies of raw cotton will be Of serious
concern. Millions of people Of Eu-
rope and in Asia are in pressing
need of cotton goods. The people Of
these countries have lands, forests,
mines and mills, and an Industrious
population, and a great basis of
credit can be arranged whereby the
people Of these countries can secure
our cotton.
Investigation brings to light the
fact that American mills, particular
ly fin the North have only from 10 to
20 per cent of the supply of raw
cotton on hand that they had on
hand at the same time last year. In
addition to this the amount Of raw
cotton with foreign mills is startling
'ly short. As, an illustration, the
Dominion Textile company of Mon-
real, Canada, which last year had
$4,497, 900, worth of cotton on hand.
has cut its stock down to $357,000.
Finished cotton goods, in like man
ner, have been startlingly reduced
from the shelves Of the retailer on
up, as compared with the same peri
cd of last year. g..

conference for a rediscount rate ex-

tension Of credits, to enable the pro-

A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 10, 1921.
Editor Chronicle-Star:
The year 1921 is notable as the an
niversary of an event which is alike
memorable to the town of Pascagoula,
and to the early settlers of that Sec
tion. AS a direct descendant of those
early settlers the history connected
therwith is of peculiar and decided
intrest to the writer
In January, 1721 six vessels arrived
in Mobile Bay with colonists and
slaves, destined for concessions given
to Duchess de Chaumont OF France, in
the French Province in America, Mo-
bile being the then capitol of the Prov
ince
In the same year Chevalier and
Marchioness de Bell-Isle, accompanied
by several French families of distinc-
ton, arrived. including Sierre Joseph
de la Pointe, who was commissioned
by the French government to build a
fort on Lake Catahoula (now Krebs
Lake, as protection against the
Indians. This fort known as Fort
pascagoula was built by the Indians
under the supervision of Sieur De la
Pointe. 1t was afterwards converted
into residence for De la Pointe.
His descendants, the Krebs family Of
Mobile, from whom ! descend, resided
there for generations. My grand
father, Joseph Krebs, ws born and
reared there.
De la Pointes Fort is shown on
map made in 1882, also the
French settlement of the Western
Company of France. Prominent
is also made in Hanilton's
Colonial history of Mobile.
Marchioness de Bell-Isle, relict of
LIE Chevalier, daughter of Duchess de
later married Sieur De la
Pointe from whom descends Monsieur
Joseph Krebs of Mobile.
There is a pretty little legend about
the "Musical Water" on the lake, with
which you are doubtless familiar.

TO PARENTS.

Let \ne urge you to cooperate with
the offters in enfol cling the ordinance
prohibiting skating on the public
streets and which ordinance was not
passed to deprive the children OF
pleasure but for their protection from
injury and probably death.
1t is to be hoped that the officers
will not be forced to arrest any
children, in the enforcement of this
ordinance, but unless they observe it.,
the officer has no alternative.
Your cooperation is urged as to this
and sidewalk skating as well.

ECONOMICAL TREATMENT
OF FLOORS

In order that we make our floors
more sanitary, economize labor in the
keeping of them, and making them a
little more attractive simple and in
expensive treatment may be used with
good effect.
Any cracks, either in the floor or
adjoining the Dashboard should first
be filled. II these are too small to be
filled with small strips Of wod, crack
filler should be used.
Linseed oil Treatment.
For a kitchen floor, ii it is new, a
god coat OF linseed oil applied hot
makes very satisfactory finish. 1t
is better to repeat the treatment sew
eral times.
Treatment With Walnut Stain and Oil.
Another treatment for either new
or old floor is to use stain first then
the linseed oil over that All paint,
stains, and soils should first be re-
moved. This is dove by using strong
alRili of some kind. Turpentine may
also be used to dissolve paint After
the floor is cleaned as thoroughly as
possible and allowed to. dry, stain it
with walnut stain, made by pouring
water over half green walnut hulls and
allowing them to stand several hours
and drain off, or by boiling for a short
while old dry walnut hulls, and then
straining off. TO this add sc worth Of
permangante of potash to a gollon of
stain.
Application.
This stain should be tested out on a
piece Of plank and if it is too dark
dilute with water until the desired
shade is produced. Apply this to the
floor with an ordinary paint brush 60
ing over several planks at the time
allowing your work to join at the
crack between planks. To avoid a
spotty uneven appearance be sure not
to brush over what has been stained.
After this has been dried out day or
two apply the hot linseed oil and then
rub off well with dry mop or cloth.
The linseed oil will go in better if 1t is
thinned with little turpentine

UNEMPLOYMENT
IS ON DECREASE
Situation is Improving, and Many
Estimates Of Idle are Exaggerated.
Says Platt.

Washington, JanA 26.--The employ
ment situation is growing better as
labor passes through period Of re-
adjustment similar to that in other
branches OF industry, Edmund Plat
vice governor OF the federal reserve
board, said today
"The situation is improving" Platl
said. Many estimates Of the number
of unemployed are exaggerated"
Platt made his statement following q
report by the department Of abor's EN-.
poyment service that the number OF
persons empoye in inustryi dat present
is nearly $500 900 less than year ago.
Other estimates Of unemployment
have been higher than this, Secretary
Frank Morrison of American Feeration
of Labor declared his report showed
between four and five million out of
work.
"There has been movement of
workers but there is no such number
unemployed as reports Indicate" Platt
said. workers who went to the city
Tor high factory wages, have returned
to the farms This has happened in
thousands of cases."
Coincident with Platt's movement,
the department of agriculture made
public a report showing the need for
farm help. The shortage of farm help
during the year just passed has been
SO great that farm wages had gone up
1877 per cent in the last five years, the
report said.
These wages, the department said,
have in many cases served to cut down
production which in turn operated to
force up the prices which the con-
sumer must pay for food.
That the movement from farm to
city has been checked and in many
cases turned back by the process of
re-adjustment is shown in reports
reaching the federal reserve board.
Platt said. This has been particularly
true in Cleveland and Detroit, auto
mobile centers, which attracted thous-
from the rural districts.
Backing Alaiutt'S Upir,ien, tho SURVEY
of the, employment service mentioned
Eactors which are developing to reduce
unemployment. Millions of dollars
worth of public work for instance,
soon will be put under way in Cleve-
land, Columbus, Cincinnati, Akron and
ohter cities.
Along with this and other work, all
reports here indicate that private con-
will spurt with the coming
Of spring. Inability to get men and
lack OF ffafeeiilhitiss fafeeihitsiisss to transport materials
have held up building but present
are these obstacles are be-
ing automatically removed in the
period of re-adjustment through which
the country is now passing.
Another section of the employment
service report shows that industrial
centers bank deposits are increasing
despite unemployment. Chicago and
Youngstown were cited as specific ex-
amples. The explanation for this in
the opinion of officials here is that the
dropping of prices has enabled families
which have been living up their in
comes to save some money.
