THE NEED OF THE HOUR.

The greatest forward step in governmental de of dozen two great, broad d-minded engineers for Governors of a dozen two of States. Engineers educated to solve difficult problems in practi- cable and workable the greatest good may result. That is what is needed in all lines of government-and the best place to introduce new principles and methods in government in the United States is through the States. Let us have a dozen engineers for State Governors and they would be followed by dozen years of engineers for Pres- dents. Such of events would result in a very short time in scientifically trained public service in the Nation
 What fine thing it would be if had more Secretary Hoovers Governor Boyles and practically trained in high political places and fewer Justices of the Peace and exprecnct political schem ers-more trying to solve problems and fewer trying to carry the next primary.
 This does not that the Government should could proceed it's way without regard to law Fortunately the legal foundations of the country are well established for that The Gibraltar-like Con stitution buttressed by a century and third of Supreme Court decisions, has clearly marked the way. We have thoroughly established judicial branch of the Government, and with that no one would interfere. We need, however engineer ing ability in the executive and legislative branches of the Government The legal guidance to meet the require of the law would be easily orthcoming

account of the coal strike already has been and with the railroad strike added to it the losses will be far greater These strikes, coming at time when the business of the country is very much de pressed have added immensely to the problems that are confronting the country. The governments at Washington and in the various States and munich palities have working like Trojans for year more against unemployment We have been strug- gling the of living and production, for the increase of foreign trade and for everything that would count toward the re-establishment of normal conditions only to have general strikes called by the element of the population most concerned in their betterment
 Some way of the disputes between employers and employees other than strikes should be found in this country, and, in spite of the position of the labor leaders, the workers would be benefited by such solution than the employers. We have yet had a general strike that did not re- suit in great losses in membership to organized labor. It has been long time since there many open shops in the United States at the present time It sometimes would that organized labor is doing it's worst to destroy itself.

effect on the railroaus or the coun- try today. There are approximately 1,425, 900 railway workers in the serv. ice at present. but probably not more than one million of these will feel the cut in their pay envelopes.
 Three decisions of the United States Railroad Labor Board during the last month and a half form the basis for the wage reductions. Sev- eral classes of employees, notably the engineers. firemcn. conductors and trainmen, were not included in the reductions and no decision has yet been issued for one other group. the telegraphers. and the train dis patchers suffered no reduction what. ever.
 The railway employees were not his as hard this year as when the board cut the wages of all workers last year a total of sS5o,O0O, 900 The cuts ranged from l to 3 cents an hour for various classes of workers. while certain groups of semi-official and supervisory employees escaped the pruning knife entirely.

HISTORICAL NOTES
COSTUMES ILLUSTRATE
STATE SOCIAL HISTORY
Historical Society to Display Styles
Of Yesterday

That many interesting phases Of
social history can be illuminated by
studying and comparing the costumes
of different periods is the contention
of Mr.. Willoughby and M. Babcock,
Jr., curator of the museum of the
Minnesota Historical. society, who
has placed on display series Of ex-
hibits of fashions in dress and who
is arranging an historical style
show" for February.
From the LeDuc family of Hast
ings, from Mrs. w. F. Webster, Mrs.
c. z. Furness, Mrs. Herbert Varney,
and other Minnesota women, the
Historical society has received many
valuable gifts which show how the
pendulum of fashion has swung back
and forth, reaching one
and now another extreme. A long
swing indeed from balloon skirts
with hoops to hold them out, to the
tight-fltting models Of the sheath
gown type! And from the wasp
waist basque Of 1880 to the sheer
straight-line crepe gown of 1890!
Waists with leg-o'-mutton sleeves
and waists with tight sleeves, tiny
hats that perched jauntily on the
top Of the head and dashing broad
brimmed sailors that covered head
and shoulders-all these and many
other items preserved In the society's
costume collection throw q bright
light on the history Of tickle but in.

Pigs from corn fed sows lack the
strength and vitality necessary to
enable them to grow.
Proper feeding Of the SOW before
narrowing will produce strong heal
thy pigs with plenty of resistance
to weather disease.
A simple ration of farm feeds is:
equal parts of oats, corn, shorts, or
middlings with skim milk. Where
skim milk is not to be had, a ration
of half corn and half oats or with bar
ley substituted for corn If need be,
with one tenth of the ration tankage.
Tankage supplies the necessary pro-
tein.
Two pounds of grain per hundred
weight is usually enough for sows.
However. sows thin in flesh will need
more. Gifts will also need more
grain as they must grow as we'll as
develop their body.
Alfalfa or clover hay may be fed
to good advantage.

80 PIGS DIE EARLY
OF 100 FARR0WED
Wrong Feeding of Sows Given As
Inducing High Death Rate
Among Young Pigs
BxL w. Meade. county Agent

BY I. w. Meade, County Agent
A survey OF 337 Minnesota farms
last spring shows that one third OF
the pigs narrowed died before weak
ing. The causes OF these losses were
improper feeding Of sows, poor shell
ter, lack Of general care. A large
number Of sows were feed too heavi-
~ on corn.
Corn is excellent for fattening
hogs, but should be fed to brood
sowB In limited amounts. It should
not be the main part Of the ration.
