publican primary in North Dakota.

he did so. Formerly he was oc-

Now he has business of his own

knows how, and in the environment of

its hypothecated pleasures and its un-

He came to Pine county in 1923 and
started at once to exercise his natural
bent for raising chickens. One
hundred and sixty acres of stumpy
land was more than he needed, but
he had it and began as best he could
to grow into his business. He has
16 acres under cultivation. On these
he raises his own green foods.
His chicken house is 14x6O. His
two colony houses 10x12. All build

heart glad while the chickens are
growing. The barn has ventilating

cups and feed chutes to carry the
feed from the bins to the stock. His
water tank is boxed in the upper
floor and the warmth of the animals

COOLIDGE SIGNS
! FARM COOP Bill
$225, 900 Fund Established To
Foster Development of Mar
I keting Organizations.

Washington-The cooperative mar
iketing bill, setting up division in
the department of agriculture to aid
cooperative farm organizations has
been signed by President Coolidge.
The new .act provides $225,000 for
administration of the cooperative
marketing division. 1t was the first
proposal specifically designed to bring
relief to agriculture submitted to con-
gress by administration forces, and is
the only one of numerous relief sug-
gestions, which have been considered
in committee and on the floors Of
both chambers to be enacted.
Although it was passed by the house
fairly early in the session, the meas
ure did not get through the senate
until after bitter struggle between
those fayoring the equalization fee
plan for handling crop SURPRISES and
administration forces who advocated
the Fess-Tincher credits proposal.
President Coolidge publicly endorsed
the latter, but it was voted down by
nearly five times as great majority
as that by which the equalization fee
measure was defeated.

ment that they could not accept it..
At the same time, he said, the Ameri-

could be stopped. Only three hits

the eighth inning A long three

ham featured. A crowd estimated
at five hundred people witnessed the
game.
Among the people who came to this
vicinity to spend the holidays with
their folks at home or with friends
were: Mr.. and Mrs. George McManus
of Ironton at the Smith home; Clar-
ence Carlson, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.

Howard Barnes and Stanley Pieski at
the Barnes home; Lawrence Odebra-
ski of st. Paul, at the Joe Odebraski

son of Superior, at the Anderson home
on Sand lake.
. One of the largest crowds ever at
tending celebration at Sturgeon
Lake was on hand Monday afternoon
and evening at st. Isador's park.
The day was ideal for celebrating,
and many went out to the lake to
find refuge from the heat which
reached high point during the after
noon. Everything was pulled off in
an orderly fashion. Two automobile
accidents were reported. One Chew
rolet touring owned by Stanley Ora
bowski turned over on this side Of
Willow River some time during Sat-
11rdou nj A email raodcfor oc1-
lided with another car out on the
detour Sunday and was turned over.
In these accidents no one was injured
and the cars escaped with small dam
ages.
The detour signs directing travel
ers on Highway No. from Sturgeon
Lake to Cromwell were taken down
on Friday and then the road author
tiles permitted cars to go over the
pavement from the county line to
Moose Lake. The elimination of the
long detour to Cromwell was well
coined by tourists as that reduced
the distance to Duluth almost twenty
miles. The paving crew working be-
tween Rutledge and Sandstone moved
into Willow River last week and
paved the road from the bridge north
of town to the point where they
started with the other pavement.
They could not finish the pavement
between Rutledge and Finlayson cor
ner as the grading was not completed
and the grading crew was constantly
in the way.

ton of liquor laden ships in the his
tory of the Pacific coast rum running

in an effort to land $4,000 cases of
Scotch whiskey and, gin, valued at
s4,750,0O0, before July 4, prohibition
enforcement officers said. Combat
ting this rum running fleet are the

six fast patrol launches. One launch,
suspected of being engaged in land

ing $500. just right for man who
has little time for house-work, when
his sister. who keeps house for him
part of the time is away. He has
a radio and is at home with the best
thought and music when the evenings
are long and meditation over books

Mr.. Geisen began with Rhode Island
Reds having brought with him from

Later on he bought White Leghorn
baby chicks and now has both breeds.
He has 235 laying hens besides $50
chicks five weeks old. A 1900 egg
incubator mothers the eggs during
incubation, while brooding houses
properly warmed by kerosene lamps
care for them after Matching.
Mr. Geisen culls by hand and when
was there he had just culled out eigh-
ing from his flock. ~ will wager
you money, said Mr.. Geisen, pointing
to the two coops containing the culls,
"that not one of those hens will lay.
Such faith in ones work breeds sue
cess.
The equipment of this little poul-
try ranch including the cows and
horses, building, ETC., cost $4,000.
Mr.. Geisen has had poultry on his
mind since he was Ia years of age
and came to the ranch and built
part of the houses on his vacations.
His gross receipts from the ranch
from January 1 to December 81, 1925,
were: eggs and poultry 1925, cream
$500. These figures are in round
numbers.
A conservative income estimate for
1926 is: chickens and eggs $1,000,
cows $500. total of $1,000.
He is about to build an incubator
cellar with poultry house above,
since an incubator room above ground
is too susceptible to variations in
temperature.
Here is a little advice to those go
ing into the poultry business: "Don't
buy over 80 acres of land; 40 is en-
ough".
AS I left Mr.. Geisen the thought
came to me that here was an oppor-
tunity to gain information and wis.,
dom about the poultry business.
Surely there is little need for our
making mistakes when others have
made them already and we have be-
fore us successful business to guide
and better still genial young poul-
try farmer who is glad to give us the
benefit of his experience.
There is money in the poultry bus
mess in Pine county, but first Of all
you should enter it because you en-
joy it, and then with a small tract
of land grow into it gradually. Don't
begin at the top.

Little Journeys Here and There
By J. A. WYE

In a short journey of twenty 1--we
miles on one mail route in Pine
county by actual count, / made news
notes of seventeen buildings under
construction. Some were for homes
but most were barns of commanding
proportions. What fine barns the
farmers build, and how well equipped!
Nothing is too modern and nothing
too efficient for these up-to-date far
mers-live stock like to drink at
will, just as folks do. The water
tank in the loft or under ground with
the compression system and drink
ing cups fulfills this desire. The
old barn used to be made as tight
as possible and without opportunity
for outside air to get in. 1t made
conditions unhealthfuL Today, the
modern barn has a scientific ventil-
ating system with a constant intake
OF fresh air and an egress of foul
air. Bad smells are annihilated by
this modern method. These things
are understood, and provision is made
for healthful conditions in these new
Pine county barns.
What do these buildings indicate?
Dull indeed would be the understand
ing which could see in these activi-
ties lack of healthy conditions.
Everywhere one looks, there is evil
dence of intrinsic value in Pine
county soil and that when one knows
how to tune in he can take the values
out and without destroying its power
to continue to produce.
Let's look upon the bright, hopeful,
and optimistic sides of business con-
ditions. We will Live longer and
travel farther if we take the sunny
side.
