BETTER TO-DAY

Reformers some times speak of the
youth as going to the bow vows but
in the opinion of Vance Cooke Of
Cleveland, famous poet, lecturer an6
friend of children there is no such
thing as the ruined youth of America
Mr. Cooke spoke at Hibbing the other
night and amongst the good things he
had to say of the youth of today was
the following:
| have very little sympathy
with the cry of ruined youth
that we hear today.
The youth of today approaches
life with a great deal more can
dor than those of former genera
tons. That's the only difference
If he wants to smoke, he smokes
on a public street, while his ia
Their went behind the barn. II
is this tendency in the modern
youth not to hide things that has
given some of the reformers the
belief that there is general ten
dency toward evil and wickedness
Certainly, this is not as bad as
the time when our fathers anC
grandfathers would perform ev
cry peccadillo in private.
There was a time when it was
improper to recognize that there
were such sexes as male and fe'
male, in conversation. Today
the young man and woman
versed in biology, discuss sex
with just the same freedom as
they discuss a football game. This
seems to me a great improve.
ment over the old attitude, that
to discuss sex was unclean and
disgraceful.
| think there is much more
independence of mind and, on
the whole, much clearer and
cleaner thinking on the part of
the young people today than in
former generations.

A WORTHY CAUSE

With this issue of the Ameri-
can is sent a supplement as a
sort of a reminder of what that
great organization the Red
Cross-is doing, and what it
stands for. 1t is also to call
attention to the campaign for
membership which is now on
starting on Armistice Day and
ending Thanksgiving.
In the case of tornadoes, earth
quakes, great train wrecks and
other catastrophies the Red Cross
is always amongst the first to
render aid to the needy-its or
ganization is ready on a mo-
ment's notice-and the beauty of
it is that it is a voluntary or
ganization-the fortunate stretch
ing out hand to help the I'M
fortunate. The brotherhood of
man is exemplifed therein.
During the war and for a
short period thereafter Red
Cross Chapters, branches, and
auxiliaries were to be found in
rural districts as we'll as the ur-
ban centers but with the ending
of the great conflict and de-
creasing demand for Red Cross
work many of these organiza-
tons ceased to exist. Pine coun-
ty followed the general trend of
the rural districts and there is
now no organization here.
The annual membership dues
in the Red Cross is one dollar
and for those who wish to belong
to this great organization of
mercy the dollar may be sent to
the nearest branch which is at
Moose Lake in Carlton county.
Mrs. Lewis is the chairman
there. The Carlton County Chap
ter is at Cloquet. Norris Camp
bell is chairman of it. Member
ship money or donations may al
so be sent to him or it may be
sent to H. Petersen, Askov, who
has been appointed to receive
funds in Pine county. One-half
of the Red Cross money goes to
the national organization to be
used in any great emergencies
and the other half stays with
local organizations to be used for
local purposes.

SWINE GROWER NEEDS
GOOD STAYING QUALITY

Andrew Boss, vice director of
the Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton, told an audience of farmers
on Swine Feeders Day, Univer-
sity Farm, that the important
thing after getting into the hog
business is to stay in and develop
a plan that suits the individual
farm. He gave five rules for
successful hog raising:
Provide suitable quarters for
feeding and sleeping.
Lay out system of lots and
fencing fields to give clean fresh
forage for brood sows and lit
ters through the summer
Make use of all dairy products
and farm waste possible and pro-
vide an abundance of water at
all times.
Arrange the farm so that shotes
can be turned into the corn fields
and fattened.
Provide for a surplus of feed
so that stock hogs can be fed
out at any time that the market
looks especially promising.

POLITICAL TALK

Politics is already beginning
to buzz little-or, perhaps it
never ceases, but is just getting
a little louder now. Anyway the
other day at a dinner in Washing
ton Nicholas Longworth of Ohio,
was heralded as the man who
should follow President Coolidge
in the Presidential chair-wheth-
err intended to be in 1929 or
1888 is not known. Perhaps it
will never be. And out in Tyler,
in Lincoln county, a group OF
men met and started the ball
rolling for a local physician to be
the next member of the State
Legislature from that county.
Under the primary system it
really wouldn't be bad if a can
didate had some sort of an en-
dorsement by a group of repre-
sentative voters-then there
would be something to work out
from and a concrete reason for
filing if the endorsement group
is not hand picked delegation.
Students of politics, however,
have long since arrived at the
conclusion that if they wait for
the public to endorse them to
every step they are to take up
the political ladder they will new
ser get to the top They can't
all get to the top anywayDand for
that reason in the case OF such

PALATABHITY OF
RATION
(By Geo. O. Jorgenson)

A milk cow will give best re-
suits when it relishes its food.
Often the dairy cow does not
consume as much food as she
could use because it is not palata-
BILE. A ration could be pre-
pared for example, wild hay and
cornfodder for roughage and corn
and oilmeal for concentrates,
that would conform to the feed
ing standard, but the cow would
not do well on it. In order to
get best possible ration for a cow
she must have feed that is bal
anced in all of the required nu-
trients, including minerals, it
must be light enough so as to not
form a heavy doughlike mass in
the digestible tract, it must have
a certain amount of succulent
feeds, it must have the right
amount of bulk and it must have
variety.
Unless a dairy ration is bal
anced in all the required nutri-
ents including minerals she will
not produce near as we'll because
some very important constitu-
ent is missing. Most generally
this is protein, calcium and phos-
phorus; the other constituent
cannot supply the missing ele-
ments and if it is made up in any
way it is always taken from the
cows body.
Very often when one feeds the
concentrate part of the ration it
is done with no thought of prob
able effect on the COW. A heavy
food such as middlings, ground
corn or oilmeal will gather in
heavy doughlike mass which the
digestive juices find hard to pen
citrate. A good way to feed this
is to mix it with ground oats,
bran or dried beet pulp; some
times the heavy concentrates are
fed with the silage. This is truly
an ideal way to feed as it tends
to make both more palatable.
Everyone is aware that COWS
seem to give more milk on grass
or pasture than they do on cured
feeds. If this is so why not sup
ply this requirement in the win
ter time by feeding. roots or
silage. The feeding of silage or
roots is more important to dairy
cattle than to other animals. In
many dairy districts silage is the
most essential food for economic
al milk production. Due to their
cooling, slightly laxative action,
such foods aid greatly in keeping
the digestive tracts of these hard
working animals in good condi-
ton. Furthermore, succulent
feeds are usually lengthy pala-
table and thus they whet the ap-
petite, so that larger amounts of
roughage are consumed than if
only hay and other dry forage
were fed. AS result, the COWS
have more nutriments available
for milk production, after the
maintenance needs of the body
have been met.
A horse cannot get away with
the roughage that a cow can be-
cause it has not the digestive
faculties to handle bulky foods,
so he must have more grain and
good quality hay. But just be-
cause cattle have large capacities,
one should not expect them to
give profitable returns by feed

Boundary Hearings
at Court House
Observation-Disclosures Boundary Dis
pute Aired Close to Home;
Testimony Largely Technical.

Although Hurley is directly con
cerned in the Michigan Wisconsin
boundary dispute, which will be laid
before the United States supreme
court for decision, the first hearing
in the matter was held here this
week.
A retinue of attorneys and en-
gineering experts arrived here
Thursday morning from Menominee,
Mich, the hearing having been
transferred from that city to Hurley.
Commissioner Margaret NJ Hoyt, of
Superior, presided. Michigan was
represented by Attorney M. p.
Sawyer, of Menominee, and Attorney
Robt. NJ. Reiser, of Madison, APP
peared as special counsel for Wis
eonsin.
Attorney Reiser stated that the
hearing here was largely for the
purpose of getting testimony on the
flowage in the east and west
branches of the Montreal river. The
comparative drainage areas of the
two branches was also touched on.
The testimony was largely of a
technical nature and was presented
by engineers and experts.
Counsel for the state of Wisconsin
was prepared to introduce old re-
cords believed to have bearing on
the territory in question. The county
clerk of Oneida county was sub
poenaed and arrived in the city
Thursday morning with old records
from his office. Old records from
the county seat of Ashland county
were also to be introduced.
1t was indicated yesterday that a
number of local witnesses would be
called, including County Treasurer
Luella Trier and County Superinten-
dent of Schools Ida Bradley.

,lstribution of
Highway Funds
An Roads and Streets in Wisconsin,
Receive Share of Gas Tax and
Other State Funds.
Rv F A Cannon, Executive Secret
ary Good Roads Association of
Wisconsin.

sry Good Roads ASSOCIATION OF
Wisconsin.
IN addition to the levying of the
Gasoline tax. the big outstanding
feature Of the new highway law is
The distribution of the funds, where
bv an roads and streets in Wisconsin
will receive state funds.
In the last article it was estimated
that the total revenue from license
fees, the gasoline tax and the federal
aid in the fiscal year l925-26 would
amount to $l4,853,000. There will
first be deducted from this $500, 900
for the cost Of administration of the
license law by the secretary of state
and Of the gasoline tax law by the
state treasurer. There will be next
taken 500. 600 for the cost of ad-
ministrauon of the highway depart
ment, leaving $14,393,O00 available
for road expenditures. How will
these funds be distributed?
In the first place 1879 of this total
will be placed at the disposal of the
state highway department, a total of
Sl,439,O0O, to be utilized to fill up
the gaps in the state trunk highway
system This refers especially to
heavily main travelled arteries.
Heretofore the marking and sign
ing of the state trunk highways
system has been done by the coun-
ties This results in a lack of uni
formity One county would be we'll
marked and the other poorly marked.
Under the new law 100000 is set
aside and the state highway commits
sion will DO the marking and signing,
the expenditure being limited to not
exceed $40 per mile.
The next allotment of funds is for
the maintenance of the state trunk
highway system. The primary
federal interstate system of 1856
miles, will receive $500 a mile; the
secondary federal system of 3139
miles. S4O0 mile; the balance of the
state trunk highway system, AHA
miies, 5000 mile. The law further
provides for the allotment of funds
Tor city streets which inter-connect
parts Of the state trunk highway
system. These streets will receive
the same allotment per mile as the
state trunk highways they inter
connect. Il is figured that there
are 282 miles Of these streets and the
average allotment will be s40O a
mile.
An appropriation of $4,000 is
made for maintaining swing and lift
bridges On the state trunk highway
system or on streets in cities inter
connecting parts of the state trunk
highway system
The total appropriation for main
'enanee Of the state trunk highway
system and swing and lift bridges is
$3,983.l00.
There Is then allotted a number of
minor appropriations, for special
large bridges, 100000; roads in and
70 state parks, $4,000; material
survey $4,000

Scientists Plan
TO Study Whales

Are whales polygamous? and
"What is their birth rate?" are among
the questions a British scientific ex-
pedition to the whaling districts of the
Falkland islands and southern Argen-
tina and Chile will seek to answer.
The expedition is under the auspices
of the British colonial office 1t will
make an exhaustive study of whales,
their habits, their food and, if pos
sible, will locate their breeding
grounds. The British government has
regulations controlling the whaling in
dustry in the South sea waters about
South Georgia and the Falkland islands
and this expedition was sent out in
the interest of preserving the industry.
More than 10000 whales were cap
tured in the vicinity of the Falkland
islands and South Georgia last year.
If the expedition can establish the
theory that the whales of the Antarc
tic regions migrate to African waters
during the breeding season, it is ex-
pected the British government will en-
act legislation considered necessary
for the protection of whales in both
regions, during the breeding season.
