A STORY OF A ROBIN

8 Mrs. III. B. Spiller of Cavalier In
formed the writer the other day that
her pet robin had died a few weeks
ago. It was just an ordinary robin
picked up while they were living in
Pembina, and it had been years ago
since she Gagged it and adopted it as
pet, and was about sixteen years
old when 1T died. Birdologists say
that the life Of the robin Is eight or
nine years Mt the most but the care
given the robin by Mrs. Spiller shows
their life can be prolonged to double
that age. %s
When she adopted the robin, there
were two of the same family reared
in a nest in a tree on their lawn.
They proved to be both male birds
and as they grew up the domestic
relations We're not harmonious and
they fought continuously and Mrs.
Spiller liberated one, which returned
to her porch for several seasons and
tried to be recognized She would
feed it and it stayed around all sum
mer and when cold weather set in
/ it would disappear Nsg Unr that re-
manned never tried to leave although
it was given full liberty. So fami-
liar did Mrs. Spiller become with its
habits that she could tell from the
different calls that it made when
something unusual was happening. It
would chatter away and scOld when
squirrels, chickens or strange birds
came into the yard. One day Bobbie
gave a very excited alarm and out on
the lawn was white weasel APP
preaching the house He would hide
under the bed when strangers came
into the house and always gave the
alarm when anyone was coming. IN
the spring when Mrs. Spiller was
working in the garden he. would al,
ways be by her side and would eat
worms from her hand. and all summer
would notify her that he wanted his
feed Of angle worms and il she pre-
pared something for him to eat thai
he did not like he would Immediately
show his displeasure by throwinf y
l5all over the floor and in an instan!
| she knew the menu was not to his Xix
| ing. When Bobbie passed away his
head was grey and nearly bald but

were strong to the last.-The Pioneer

OTTER TAIL co. PASTOR
RETURNS FROM PALESTINE

Rev. S.. r. Sharpless. who recently
returned from Palestine and u general
European trip says it is not surpris-s
ing that the Bible speaks of the Holy
Land as a land OF milk and honey.
He says that, while it has been neg
lected to a great extent and devasted
by frequent wars, the soil there is
amazingly fertile. The higher lands
are OF limestone formation. and they
are constantly washing down and fer
tiizing the valleys. The blowing there
is still done with a. crooked stick, as
lit was two or three thousand years
ago. The same little houses of stone
fare seen as were seen in Bible times.
In the neighborhOOd of Bethlehem,
where Christ was born, he saw shep-
herds watching their flocks just as
they did long centuries ago.
At Nazareth, Rev. Mr. Sharpless
went into a small -four mill. and saw
wheat brought in by the people who
had raised It. They had threshed it
with q hand fail and had winnowed
it. by throwing it up in the wind,
which blew away the chaff and foul
seed. It was perfectly clean wheat.
and looked as though 1t would grade

The people who raised it brought

carried on their backs, and the wo-

| It to w. B. Dewey, who planted It
and reports q fine yield for It. Per-

No. il

Voters OF Minnesota need have no

Mr.. Christianson urged unanimons

out that the only obstacle in the path
to passage is Indifference on the part
OF voters in the cities and towns
"A state system is needed to sup

Christianson says in statement made
public this week, because:
1st--The federal land banks have
failed utterly to take care of the
farm loan business of the country and
will continue to fail, unless they are
provided into greater activity than
has been manifest in the past.
"2nd--They have placed arbitrary
limitations on the number of appli-
cations they would receive from each
association and have placed impedi-

sOciations.
They have neglected to main

promptly for the business offered.

AMENDMENT NO. /
Will SAVE STATE
MILLIONS YEARLY
Average Interest Rate, Now I Percent
Should be SIS, Says
j. #. Reed

A state rural credits plan such as
adoption Of Amendment No. will
make possible, will save to Minnesota
millions of dollars every year that
now are being paid into Golfers of in
surance companies and others supply
ing farmers with long time loans, ae-
cording to J. f. Reed, chairman Of the
Farmers Special committee that has
sponsored the campaign in favor of
the amendment.
The normal farm mortgage bust
ness in Minnesota is about $3.50, OOO.-
OO0," says Mr.. Reed. cot this total.
about 10 per cent or $25,O0O,OOO. is
being handled by the Federal Land
Bank. A recent Farm Bureau survey
shows the average interest on rlong
time loans in Minnesota, on county
unit basis, to be z per cent. The
highest rate charged is 10 and the
lowest So per cent, this low rate be-
ing found only in our older counties
and where the federal system has been
functioning
Assuming that the Federal Land
Bank will continue to function as well
as it has and that in time it will be
able to take over half the mortgage
business Of the state and assuming
that the proposed state system will
be able to take over the other half
of the business and that position is
eminently fair to all concerned pas
sage Of Amendment No. will have
the effect Of reducing the present av-
erage interest rate from to at least
5h per cent It should go lower.
On $115, 600, OOO-half of the farm
mortgage business in the state not
now handled by the Land Bank-the
saving would be $1,75O,OO0 every
year"
On behalf Of the Farmers Com
mittee on the Amendment, Mr. Reed
this week issued a general appeal to
the public to support the amendment
solidly.
"All parties are for it," he says.
All candidates for governor are for
it. Tt has no organized opposition.

not openly opposing it because they
feel confident 1T will not obtain the

concerned are not Indifferent on cleo

CANCER IS "A DURABLE DISEASE

MOST people consider cancer all ln-
durable disease. This is due in all
probability to the fact that until re-
Gently no attempt has been made to
inform the public regarding the known
facts pertaining to this disease, and
that most people know only OF the
fatal results Of treatment instituted
in cases OF cancer. when there no
longer was hope for cure. s s=.s7
The increasing death rate from
cancer makes it necessary that an ed
ucational campaign about cancer, be
conducted, in order that the people
may become familiar with the early
signs and symptoms Of cancer and
avail themselves Of early treatment
while the growth is still curable.
The American Society for the Con-
troll Of Cancer was organized in 1913
for the purpose of obtaining facts
about cancer and disseminat ting the
knowledge. In November Of 1921 this
Society conducted its first National
Educational Campaign. aud it has
designated the week Of November 10Th
to 18th Of this year as National Cam
Ger Week. During this time an in
tensive broadcasting of information re
garding cancer will be carried out.
1t is important that every one avail
himself of the opportunity Of learning
as much about this disease as posi-
bic.
Cancer is one of the great plaques.
One out of every fourteen men and
one out Of every u women over forty
years of age die from cancer. Cancer
is the cause Of death of more adults
than any other disease, and whether
or not there is or has been cancer III
some member Of the family, it must be
recognized as a disease of vital in
terest to every map and woman.
In the past, the people have obtain
ed secondhand information about can
Ger, and this has been limited largely
to their knowledge Of people who have
been treated unsuccessfully 1t may
be stated that when cancer is treated
unsuccessfully, it has been recognized
and treated only after it has pro
crossed to the stage where there was
little or no hope Of success. Those
who have had cancer recognized early
and treated early and successfully
maintain secrecy in order that the
stigma will not jeopardizes their in
dustrial and social activities
It is the purpose Of the American
Society for the Control Of Cancer tc
open the book of knowledge pertain:
ing to cancer in an effort to stem the
tide of the annually increasing death
rate from the disease.
