Disaster Bird" Again
Back in Baltic States

Danzlg.-Old inhabitants of the Bal

scattered over central Europe. touched

themselves In every small town. Local
banks were organized, local com
presses and warehouses were built.
The market had met the producer half
way. Next came country buying. The
planter could cell his crop at his own
gin platform. This was a change in
the method Of marketing, but the sys-
tenn itself remained almost the same.
The one difference was that the grower

World Court or similar organization
is $4,500,OO0. Using these figures
ais a basis, the speaker showed that it
would be possible to finance the World
Court for 440 years on the funds spent
annually for armament.
DR.. Ross said "While Defense Day
is not intended to discourage or OPP
pose international peace or disarma-
ment, neither is it our idea to leave
ourselves open to attack from other
nations which have taken no part in
the disarmament program" He qu-
oted President Coolidge who said
''We want no more War, but we want
no weakness that invites imposition" ,
and General Pershing who said, "Par-
ticipation in Defense Day indicates
that the lessons of the world war have
not been permitted to pass unheeded.'
He also stated that it was entirely
owing to the unpreparedness of the
United States that she lost almost
three times as many men in the world
war as did her allies fighting by her
| side, and the same thing has been
true in the past where hasty mobiliza-
ton was necessary. Following his

In opposing the Child labor amend
ment to the Federal constitution the
Federation officials went on record
as favoring the action of the Ohio
farm bureau directors at their recent
meeting. The Ohio federation in its
resolution protested the amendment
of ten counts, chief among which
were; (D That it would transfer to
the Federal government authority
which now rests with the individual
states; and (2) that it would be a
death blow to agriculture, since two
thirds of the children gainfully en-
ployed in the United States are en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits.
A referendum will be taken by the
Minnesota Farm Bureau federation to
ascertain the attitude of its members
on these two amendments.

operation on the part of parents and
pupils.
In the town schools 271 little folks
started school for the first time,
while in rural schools 3O1 were listed
as beginners.
Last year there were 1O5 teachers
in town schools and 119 in rural
schools. There is quite a tendency
to keep teachers for two or more
years in the schools of the county.
In the town schools IL of the teach
ers were teaching for their third year
and "a for their second year. In
rural schools IL were teaching on their
third year and 26 on their second
year. The county superintendent has
found that less frequent change of
teacher as general rule works out
to the advantage of the teacher and
the school district and the pupils usu-
ally benefit very much by it. The
superintendent feels so strongly about
it that almost always she urges a

thew consider a change for higher
salary, and she usually urges school
board to give in point or two and
keep teachers longer if possible, for
the system works out to the better
ment Of the schools of the county, and
which really means to the advantage
Of the pupils.
In the high and graded schools the
average salary Of the men teachers
was $1981O per month, of women,
S127.3O. In the rural and semi-grad-
ed schools the men got an average
monthly salary of $112.56, and the
women, $98.8O.
The school houses and sites of the
town schools are valued at $4,000
in the report. The cash receipts for
the year were $269,748.50 and the
balance on hand, $35,411.24. The
value of rural schools is given at
100000, with receipts for the year of
S238, 872.82 and a cash balance OF
$76,4S6.56.
The report also shows that Miss
Kennedy paid 237 official visits to
the schools of the county last year.
This is an average of over two visits
to every school house in the county.
1t shows that the superintendent is
not afraid of inclement weather or
bad roads.
In the way of state aids, apportion-
ments and local school taxes, it cost
about $91 last year to give each boy
and girl schooling in the high and
graded schools of the county, and
$50 for the schooling which each pu-
pill got in the rural schools of the
county. This takes no account OF
the interest on the investment of the
public school property but does in
clude money spent on upkeep and re-
pairs.-Morgan Messenger.

EIGHT REGIONS, WITH FOUR
DISTRICTS TO REGION is PLAN
OF ORGANIZATION.

The Minnesota State High School
Athletic association has made a num-
Der of changes in the re-districting
of the state for basket ball contests
during the interregnum since the
state tournament was held in Min
neapolis last spring.
The state has been divided into
eight regions. These regions can be
termed for general parlance as the
Crookston, Duluth, ST. Cloud, Mime
apolis, St. Paul, New Ulm, Mankato
and Albert Lea regions. The number
of basket ball teams listed in the diff
ferent regions follows: Crookston,
33; Duluth, 80; st. Cloud, 80; Min
neapolis, 80; st. Paul, 25; New Ulm,
80, Mankato, 35 and Albert Lea, "a.
Each region is divided into four
districts. Tournaments will be held
in each of these districts for the
purpose of secu, ing the topnotch
team. The four winning teams in
each region will then stage an eiin,-
nation tournament. The eight teams
winning in the regional tournaments
will then stage the state tournament
at Minneapolis, where the state
championship team will be named in
the elimination.
The teams in the first district of
this region are: Candy, Clarified,
Cottonwood, Dawson, Madison, Mar
shall and Minneota. Those in the
second district are: Comfrey, Ivan
hoe, Lake Benton, Lamberton, Red
wood Falls, Springfield, Tracy and
Tyler. In the third district the teams
are: Arlington, Fairfax, Gaylord,
Morton, New Ulm, Nicollet, Sleepy
Eye and Winthrop. The fourth dis
trict teams are: Belle PLANE, Cleve-
land, Henderson, Kasota, lie Sueur
Center, Montgomery, New Prague,
and st. Peter
1t will be noted that there are
thirty-two teams in this region. In
the first district there are seven, in
the second, eight; third, eight and
fourth, nine
Owing to the size of the armory
floor it is expected that the district
elimination will be held at New Ulm,
and possibly the regional elimination.
The only other contender for the re-
gional elimination would be St. Peter.
The floor at Gustavus Adolphus col
lege is commodious. But on the other
hand St. Peter has poor hotel facili-
ties and it is anticipated that New
Ulm will be the scene of the regional
elimination games.
The officers Of the state athletic
league are: Supt. 2. V. Kinney. Red
Wing, president; Supt. j. P. Vaug-
han, Chrisholm, vice president; Supt.
o. E. Smith. Anoka, secretary and
treasurer. The above officers and
Prin. j. E. Marshall, ST. Paul Central
High, constitute the board of direc-
tors.
The redistricting of the state will
permit less state elimination games
which has been one of the disadvan-
tages of the state contests. There
will be but eight teams taking part
] in the state Examinations, therefore
there will be but five games. The
winning team will have to play but
three games.-Brown County Jour
nal.

arrest it. The matter will be sub
mitted to the women's clubs of the
city during the coming month, and
final action will be taken at the next
meeting Of the board.
According to DIR. F.. P. Strathern,
who presented the proposal to the
board on Monday, it would cost the
board only $40 to treat the students
for this disease. The treatment con-
sists of dose of one and two-thirds
grains of iodine, prepared in the form
Of a chocolate coated candy, to be
given the pupil once a day for two
weeks in the fall and in the spring.
The dosage is harmless when admin
istered by physician and it is proven
that it will effect cure in these early
stages.
Last year, at the instigation of DR..
]. w. Daniels, DIR. Tallifero Clark of
the United States public health de-
partment came to St. Peter to conduct
a survey among the pupils of the
local school. Readers will remember
the startling discoveries made at that
time. 1t was found that 60 per cent
Of the girls and Is per cent of the
boys had diseased thyroids in various
stages. Between 800 and 400 pupils
were examined at that time. When
this survey was made public, it was
proposed to administer the iodine
treatment at once, but the cost at that
time was prohibitive. The medicine
has now been developed much more
cheaply and authorities agree that
now is the time to act
