Trade In Moonshine
Falling oft, Is Story
Albert Lea Man Declares That
It's Difficult To Sell
Stuff Now.

Z Albert Lea, March 28.-Unknown
to any person, Sheriff Fosse, Deputy
Sheriff Jenson and County Attorney
]. o. Peterson went to the home of
Roy Prosser, Oil Oak street, and
raided the place. A quantity of
newly made moonshine was found
under bed and other places about
the home. The stuff had been put
into milk and other kinds of bot
ties.
AS soon as the officers discover
ed the moonshine, Prosser said to
the deputy: well, l guess you
have got me this time. Business in
moonshine Is awfully poor these
days. One can hardly sell it. The
demand is steadily falling off"
Prosser admitted making the
moonshine and selling some. He
said that the still was his brothers.
He claimed that his brother had
taken the outfit away and that he
was now located somewhere in
Iowa.
Prosser was taken from the county
Jail at two o'clock and arraigned
before Judge Blackner on the
charge Of manufacturing booze. He
waived examination and was bound
over to the grand jury and the
next term of the district court. His
bonds were placed at $500.

Mr.. NARROW referred to a govern

at the National Dairy Show last fall,
at st. Paul, which showed that the
cattle in Holland average over
1000 pounds of milk per year, while
the average in the United States for
all dairy cows was only between
5000 and 1000. He stated that for

that much larger records are being

Mr.. NARROW in his talk referred
to many of the So called dairy cows

speaker of the meeting yesterday.
He has lived for many years in the

the task of alleviating the sufferings
OF those peoples Is one OF the du-

eral examples which came to his
notice while acting as bank exam
iner In this state as he called on
the banks In the different sections
OF the state and noticed the great
difference in bank deposits, and
upon inquiry found that invariably
these large deposits in small towns
were nearly always creditahle to a
large amount of dairying being car
rid on In that locality. He cited
the little town Of Lanesboro. a town
of less than 1000 inhabitants in
the southeastern corner Of this state
in the very rough and rolling county
Of Fillmore. where a bank was

this largely to the dairy COW.
Statistics show that while Fill
more is considered a county much
less valuable than Blue Earth

each year for butterfat produced in
the county than Blue Earth
In closing Mr.. Boie urged the
farmers to milk more cows, stating
that It was very noticeable in their
bank throughout the recent depres-
sion that we have been passing
through, that those who MIXED cows
were In better condition than those
who did not.
Several local men expressed them
selves as very much interested in
the Improvement of the cattle and
better dairying in their locality. Mr..
Dave Bowen stated that 1t was easy
to increase the dairy production

stating that he hoped to see more

J. M. McConnell,I commissioner oil

day.
The period demands the coop

the school boards, and the superin-
er in a common cause. The time is
inopportune for a division in the
ranks, because of any separate in

THE period since the war" he
said, rs one of reconstruction and
readjustment. Such a period Is the
sequel to every great war, and was
called by John Fiske, The Critical
Period in his history of the era
from the close of the Revolutionary
eminent under the constitution.
1T represents time for read
justment both between countries
and within them. 1t calls for econo-
mic reorganization. It is time for
continued high taxes, without the
support of the large incomes, and
the enthusiasm which made them
tolerable during the war. Most of
all, it involves a state of mind (which
becomes a large factor in the stu
alton, both as a cause and an eff
feet.
Difficult Time In Educational Field
at is a difficult time in the educa-
tional field. The inflated costs and
high taxes of war will continue in
large measures, deposits the newt
able business and industrial reac-
ton has come.
"The situation presents an impor-
tant problem of relation between
teachers qualifications and salaries.
This relationship becomes much dis
turbed during the teacher shortage,
and school boards were forced to
hire teachers, without the usual re-
gard for qualifications. This condi-
ton usually initiated against the
we'll trained and successful teacher
and in favor of the unframed and
inexperienced"
Public education must capitalize
the ability of every child, the state
commissioner continued. 1t must
discover, and develop leaders. 1t
must represent our highest , ideals
and must be universal in its concep-
ton. 1t must be conceived in terms
of the future and must not limit
those who are trained in it, either as
to occupation or environment.
"The largest single factor in our
educational growth is that of teach
ers' progress" Mr.. Mcconnell said.
Despite the retarding influences
through which we have been pass
Ing, rapid progress is being made
toward professionally trained teach
ers with sound academic education.
The time Is not far distant when
Minnesota, with it's splendid high
school education will demand that
all of its teachers possess a high
school education and at least some
measure of professional training"
