ization and rehabilitation committee
of the State Auxiliary.
AS a result of these gifts, these
tractors are running six days week
at full capacity, with the object in
view that each trainee will have
twenty (20) acres ready for cult
walton before freezing weather sets
in.
An additional gift of 5000 came
from the Auxiliary Unit at Man
kato with which to purchase cows
for the men at Veteransville.
1t was the privilege Of the writer
to be present when DIR. Heilscher
and some interested friends evolved
unique plan by which the $500
could be made a basis for buying
many more cows than would appear
possible at first glance This plan
which might be called the "Rotat-
ing Cow FUND.-, has been fully and
accurately worked out as follows:
The fund will be loaned first to
families who have children and no
cows; then to families without child
rem and cows; then to the others in
regular order. The money will be
loaned, without interest in sums of
$4,000 to each man. When the
cows begin to produce, the men will
make monthly payments of $500
each until the loans are cancelled.
AS these payments come back to the
fund. other loans will be made and
more cows purchased. In this man.
ner, the fund will rotate, until all
are provided with whatever number
of cows they can use.
The $500 fund from the Mankato
Auxiliary is timely, thoughtful, and
practical. The working plan will
not be so speedy as could be de-
sired, but oh! how it will help these
men and their families. In a fam
lily where there are children and no
COW, the milk and butter sufficient
for health costs about $12 month.
One can readily see that the elm
ination of this item will mean a
large saving to the families, even
counting the cost of payments upon
the cows and the necessary food.
The country around Veteransville
and Silver Star is essentially a
DAIRY country. The Alsike Clover
grows 'high, thick and wide". With
care, each man can store away plenty
of clover hay for his own use.
The children should and must
have milk. The men themselves also
stand in need of this kind of nour-
lshment. They must have cows!
There are good cows to be had.
The thought came to this Man
kato Auxiliary member that no more
worthy cause presents itself to the
consideration of the Auxiliary Units
throughout the state: Will they not
carefully consider and generously
add to the gift of the Mankato Aux
lllary sufficient additional funds to
bring speedily within the reach of
al these families the COWS which
they should have at once? This
money is not gift to the men
simply a loan without interest. 1t
will not even be dissipated; it will
return again to be loaned until in
this enterprising little colony of
veterans, there shall be rich and

Gladstone and Fsraday

Once Mr.. Gladstone dropped In on
Michael Faraday. Faraday was a
blacksmith's son who became a great
scientific investigator. Gladstone found
him investigating a peculiar thing he
had discovered. He had before him a
wire bent into the form of a circle,
and In that there was a disk which
was suspended by a silk thread The
disk revolved inside the wire When
he turned on a current of electricity
through the wire the disk seemed to
move as if II were moving in a thick
liquid; there was no reason why, as
far as was known. "What is the good
Of that?" asked Mr.. Gladstone. well"
said Faraday,> perhaps In few years
you will be able to tax It," Faraday
was right. Out of that experiment has
grown the electric motor.

AMNESTY
Granted 81 War Prisoners

Washington. - President Coolidge
has ended the agitation for release
of federal war prisoners by granting
amnesty to the remaining 81. Fines
imposed are remitted
Recently the president appointed
committee, consisting of former Sec
retary of War Baker, General j. G.
Harboard, retired, and Bishop Charles
Fl. Brent, to consider these cases. The
committees report was not made pub
lie, but it is claimed that General Har-
bord declined to join his associates in
recommending that unconditional re-
lease be recommended The president
merely approved the majority report
of the committee.
Agitation for the release of these
prisoners has been supported by citi-
zens in all walks of life. The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor declared that
further confinement of the war pris-
oners serves no useful purpose, and
President Gompers made personal ap-
peals and headed delegations urging
release. The United States is the last
country to release its war prisoners.
