A.P.RanS Makes
Shipment of
Hogs to Italy
REDWOOD COUNTY STOCK PUR-
CHASED BY ITALIAN GOVERN
MENT THROUGH EXTENSION
DEPT; THIRD SHIPMENT.

Two Chester White Brood Sows
from the farm of A. P. Rams in Sun
down Township were shipped to Italy
the other day starting on their long
trip from the station at Springfield
They had been purchased by the
Italian government. The Springfield
Advance editor was an interested
watcher as the illustrious pair started
on their way and concerning the ship
ment he writes:
'This shipment of fancy bred Chest
er White sows was placed through the
Chester White Extension Bureau, Inc,
who have been placing good Chester
Whites in this part of the state for
several years.
Zone of these gifts was in A. P.
Rams show herd last year. The other
one was in the show herd of Andrew
Anderson of Tyler. Both gifts have
first prizes at different fairs to their
credit.
"These animals have been on Mr..
Rams farm for some time, where they
were properly fed and prepared for
their long journey of five thousand
miles.
''The Schmid & Lehrer Co. of
were large and roomy, with canopy
top and troughs for feeding. To see
these prize winners all washed and
powdered ready to drive into show
ring, presented sight fit for royalty
This is the third shipment made to
Italy this year by the Extension Bu-
reau. They also have made many
other foreign shipments, as well as
supplying many organizations with
one or trainload of Chester Whites
Fred H. Moore, secretary and treasur-
er of the Bureau, who was here to
personally look after this shipment
stated that he received a long distance
call from party in Texas, who or
dered two carloads of Chester White
brood sows.
ANDREW Rams, the bureaus repre-
sentative and manager for this dis
trict, placed IA brood sows on the bu-
reau's contract last year, and this
Z year he has placed the allotted num-
ber of 100 sows for the district, which
comprises Brown, Redwood and Rem
vile counties, and has had to refuse
several applications because of the
limited number, most satisfying to the
bureau, declared Mr.. Moore, in a
SIdIeineHI HdOe ny nlill dDOuC lHe
work in this part of the state"
This shipment was one in which the
breeders were all much interested and
the competition which Mr.. Rams had
to meet was keen. The Italian Gov
ernment officials who made the pur-
chase specified that the sows must
be not only prize winners themselves,
but that they must be out of prize
winners and each must be bred to a
prize-winning boar. All of these
qualifications it was possible for Mr.
Rams to meet.
One of the animals had won at
seven fairs while the other had wor

edness, making round $4,000, 900
saved to taxpayers. This does not
count some of the other bills vetoed,
which would have meant future obli-
cations to the state.
Work on the $50 bills was finished
Friday night soon after the last of
them reached the Governors office
from the enrolling clerks.
Il am sorry the power of veto in
wolves striking out an item entirely
and does not make it possible to re-
duce items," he said as he looked over
the result of his labors. 81 believe the
appropriations should have been held
to $39,O00,000. 1t should be possible
to save the other million, though
through the new power of preaudit. y
The big item in the appropriation
cut, the socalled deficiency" appro-
priation for state school aid, hits
some districts in nearly every county
in the state. Through it's saving to
taxpayers, however, it is a net bene-
fit to most of the counties, Hennepin
alone saving more than 100000.
Il should have approved of the
SCHOOi diu lIeIH, the GOVernOf SAID
"if there had been either a moral OF
legal obligation of the state. There
is no such obligation. The supplemen-
tai aid provisions of the state aid law
were clearly and definitely amended
by the rider on the appropriation bill
of 1923.
"The school boards all had suf-
ficient notice of the cut in the amount
of aid they were to receive, and hao
ample opportunity to adjust their
expenses accordingly.
"In view of the fact that there was
no deficiency, the appropriation OF
81 100000, is just as unwarranted as
one for $14,000,O0O would be. We
must SO administer the state aid Law
that the system of state aid shall not
degenerate into pork barrel

on the final day were as follows:

part of the Redwood Falls Branch
and this sum, added to the amount
raised in Redwood Falls, makes a
total of about $4,000 to be sent from
this branch. The basket social which
earned such good amount was held
Friday evening at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. j. Frank Jones west of
Redwood Falls. Preceding the sale
of the baskets a short talk by Miss
r. Lucille Joscelyn, executive secre-
tary of the Red Cross, made clear the
urgent need of this fund. S. o.

tloneer of the occasion. Earlier in
the evening short but interesting
program was given. Miss. Velma
Slocumb, assistant state leader of
boys and girls club work, and Lynn
Sheldon, county agent of Redwood
County both gave short talks on bows

cut deep into the appropriations of
the 1925 legislature Friday night,
striking out items totaling 81, 1886, ,160.-

The slashes brought the appropria-
tion total down to a shade under
SAC, 100000, which is less than the al
lowance of two years ago.
In a statement explaining his ac-
ton, the Governor said he was pre-
vented from cutting another million
or so from the bills, by the fact that
he cannot reduce items, but must
either approve or disallow each item
as a whole
He expressed the hope of saving an
other million or so by the operation
of the new financial control system
passed by the legislature.
Governor Christianson wound up
the day by vetoing IL bills, running
his total Of vetoes for the session to
21.
One, veto saved Hennepin county
taxpayers more than 100000. Under
the school aid appropriation vetoed
the county would have paid 1928, ,104
in additional taxes, and would have
received back only $12,982. In all
as of the 81 counties of the state
would have had to pay more than

LABOR IN BRITAIN
DR|F TING TO LEFT
Trades Union Congress Get
ting Away From Compare
tive Conservatism of Heads.
By the Associated Press.

/ SCARBOROUGH, September r.
The British Trades Union Congress,
which ended its sessions here today,
has played for time and not grappled
closely with the big issues of the fu-
ture relations between the political
and Industrial sides of the labor move
ment, but the proceedings Of the week
have not been wanting in plain signs
that must give labor political leaders
like Ramsay Macdonald, j. H. Thomas
and j. II. Clynes a deal to ponder
upon.
The drift OF the party clearly is to-
ward the Left, and the only question is
how far the drift will carry it.
1t was the Macdonald government
that fostered and fathered the Dawes
plan: but, quite ignoring the fact, the
congress adopted q resolution con-
demning this plan as a capitalist
scheme for exploiting German work
ers. Again, in direct antagonism with
the views of the Macdonald wing of
the Labor party, the congress adopted
a resolution authorizing its council to
go behind the Amsterdam Interna-
tional-"to do everything in it's power
to secure worldwide unity of trades
unions through an all-inclusive fed
Grafton"
This is interpreted to mean that the
congress has empowered the council
to ignore the objections of the Am
sterdam International and to join
hands with the Third Internationale
Of Russia.
In the days before Great Britain
experieEced a labor government it was
the political side of the movement,
represented by the independent Labor
party with it's Socialist policy, which
mad to work to socialiZe the more
conservative trades union movement.
Now the position is reversed. The po-
litical side of the movement, after cx-
periencing the responsibilities OF office,
has become more moderate. while the
trades union has become more ad-
vanced and Is trying to drive its polit-
ical leaders to the left.
Moreover, the old jealousy between
skilled and unskilled workers here Is
breaking down, and hence the idea of
creating one big union embracing all
existing unions and even of giving
the council Of the Trades Union Con
gress the power to call general strikes
could not be carried by resolutions be-
fore the congress. although there was
considerable support for such a
change.

ELMAN EASY TO FIND.
Correspondent Hears Music Com
ing From Hotel Suite.

PARIS, September II R.-Strains
of beautiful violin music floating from
a room in one OF the palatial hotels Of
Paris enabled a correspondent to To-
cate Mischa Elman without the serv-
ices of floor ma nager.
Elman appeared at the door col
larless and in carpet slippers. but
with a precious violin clutched tight
ly in his arms. The instrument was
new Stradivarius recently pur-
chased by Elman for $4,000. II is
his third "Strad" and he says it is one
of the rarest in existence, cannot be
equaled IN America, and that 1t is
the best instrument he ever owned.
1t once belonged to the famous
Nine. Recamier and the new owner
proudly pointed out there isn't a
single scratch on it."
The violinist was so enthusiastic
over his new possession that he gave
an impromptu concert for the sole
pleasure of the correspondent who
went to interview him.

MAMMALS PROCENITOR FOUND
BY ANDREWS in COBB DESERT
Skulls of Beasts of Rats Size Discovered-Traces of
Earliest Type of Man Also Believed
Uncovered by Party.

1--WE believe" he said, that we
have found traces of the earliest types
of man developing out Of the ape, as
well as Indications of a civilization
that went from Europe into Asia"
Although no human bones of that
early period have been found. ev-
licences Of habitation in a sandy val
ley and discovery of implements and
heads of weapons in flint, jasper and
chalcedony found in rock formations
are believed to represent a type of
development never before found In
Asia and corresponding to the AZilian
type in Europe.
The expedition found 40 more dino
saur eggs of more or less the. same
type as those which previously
aroused great interest among sci
entists. Mr.. Andrews said 38 Of the
eggs would be carried back to Amer
lea. Two were presented to a museum
In Urga, Mongolia.
An important feature of this find,
In Mr.. Andrews opinion, is the fact
that the eggs are of the genus pro-
teceratops, which, he declared, was
the ancestor of the giant species
found in America. A third type of
egg had a very thin shell.
