Mittens and Mumers

HAITTENS and mufflers are the
lN bane Of many a household in
the winter time. If there are sew
that much more complicated, for
several pairs of lost or mixed-up
mittens are harder to replace than
one pair.
The old-fashioned style of fas-
tening each pair of mittens or
gloves together with cord long
enough to go around the neck and
down through the sleeves of the
child is after all the only practical
method which has ever been de-
vised to keep the pair, together
So much for Keeping mittens

Keeping them clean by the mod
ern method Of washing is SO easy
that 1t no longer constitutes much
of a problem.
With faxed soap which dissolves
in an instant in hot water, a great
bowl of suds can be prepared in q
few minutes.
Then 1t is a matter OF only a
few more minutes to plunge all the
articles of one color into the luke
warm suds. douse them up and
down and squeeze the water
through the meshes. Rinse in clear
warm or slightly soapy water, and
lay the articles out on soft cloth

games. These long shots netted them
three field goals.
Donlon, versatile forward of the
Guards, was held to three field goals
but led Redwood's scorers in field
goals. Castle accounted for two
field goals and two free throws.
Goodthunder scored field goal and
free throw while Stockton was able
to gather but one field goal. To hold
scorers of the type Redwood has this
season to but seven field goals is
quite a feat in itself and to be able
to outplay the locals is another feat
worthy Of mention. Arrangements
are being worked out by the commit
tee to have a five game series with
Gaylord this season and the result of
the decision by the committee is be-
ing anxiously awaited by the fans

Thursday, December 23rd, the Min

can be termed as an all star attrac-
tion. The Whiz Bang team is COM
posed of several all star men who
have played together for the past two

GIRL
WRITES PARENTS
FROM FAR JAPAN
BURMEISTER FINDS
MUCH TO INTEREST HER IN
LAND OF ORIENTALS; IS NOW
LEARNING LANGUAGE.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Burmeister last
week received from their daughter,
Miss Margaret Burmeister, the first
letter written after her arrival in
Japan to take up her work as mis-
sionary. The letter was dated at
Tokyo, November 3Oth, and gave in
detail many of the experiences she
has had since sailing from San Fran
cisco. The following short extracts
from her long and interesting letter
relate some Of these experiences.
First I'll tell about landing. About
ten o'clock Monday morning we sight
ed land. Irma and I packed early SO
we could enjoy the view when we be-
gan seeing anything besides water.
At first the land appeared as cloud
because of the haze but after a few
minutes we could see the bluffs or
mountains and large white light
house. It looked very much like
other land-very much like San Fran
cisco or Honolulu. About noon we
were coming quite close to land and
seeing sampons every once in while.
They are little flat bottomed boats
with one big oar at the back and are
used for fishing. They get over the
water at fair rate of speed. After
lunch we began seeing the small sail
ing vessels with the oblong shaped
sails. The day was very clear but
seemed to be misty or hazy at the
horizon. We only caught very faint
glimpse of Mount Fujiama-had to
use our imagination a great deal to
really think We saw it.
"We docked at about four o'clock
and went through quarantine. A lit
tie Japanese doctor was the quaran-
tine doctor. He gave US very pierre
ing glance and that was all. There is
a long break water when you get into
the harbor with a sort of gate to go
through, two towers marking it, one
white and one red. Mr.. Draper, Win
nifred Draper, Miss Chase, Dora
Wagner and Dorothy somebody
from China met US at the boat. The
Drapers have been in Japan about
years, are Parent Boa d
and Winnifred, ther
is the only w. H., M. S.
worker in Yokohama. They are rela-
tives of the Dayton's in Minneapolis.
They have very nice home up on
the bluff where all the foreign com.
munity used to be. We took regu-
lar taxi up to the house and it steam
I'd and made great to-do about get
ting up the hill. We passed places
where there were still ia6t masses
Of ruins and great many the Of
fees of companies are still in bar
racks. The shipping has largely gone
around to Kobe but the docks are.

$4,000 URGED
AS STATE BANKS
MINIMUM STOCK
SUM SET BY COMMISSIONERS
VEIGEL IN REPORT TO COVER
NOR PROPOSING NEW LEGIS-
LATION.

A minimum capital of $4,000 for
state banks and more in larger cities
for all new banks organized, is re-
commended by A. ]. Veigel, commits
sioner of banks, in his biennial report
filed with Governor Christianson Fri
day.
In the opinion of Mr.. Veigel, this is
the most important banking legisla-
tion which could be considered by the
next Legislature and would have the
Endorsement of the Minnesota Bank
ers' association.
Any legislation which would give
Minnesota a bank guarantee law is
discouraged in the report of Mr.. Vel
gel. He pointed out that this subject
has been studied from all angles and
that in his opinion, "such legislation
is economically unsound, and has al
ready proved a failure, or will prove
a failure, in every state where it has
been tried"
The report further states that
banking conditions are gradually get
ting better in the state, and compli-
ments the large majority of bankers
who have $50 Loyalty stood back of
their banks"
Most of the banks have taken their
losses and are now in fine condition.
Since June 80, 1924, there has been
a decrease of 83 state banks, two saw
ings banks, three trust companies,
and one building and loan association.
These reductions were due to con-
solidations, nationalizations, volun-
tary iquidations and suspension.
On June 80 last, the report further
shows, there were 973 state banks,
seven savings banks, 20 trust COM
panies, "a building and loan associa-
tions, and eight "other financial COR
and three credit unions.
Minnesota has one bank for every
900 population, while the average
for the United States is one bank for
every 4,500 population. The report
further emphasizes that Minnesota

TED" FACING HARD
TASK HANDLING
STATE FUNDS
DEMANDS FAR OVER LIMIT SET
BY GOVERNOR WHO SAYS HE
WILL STICK TO THE $4,000
900 AS PROMISED.

| Appropriation estimates in tn
hands of the state commission of ad
ministration and finance total approx
imately $S,000,000 more than the $40,
100000 limit set by Governor Theo
dore Christianson. If all of the ap
preparations requested should be al
lowed, the state tax levy for ths
revenue fund would have to be doubled
in the next two years. --es
The increase would mean $4,000,00
a year more to be raised by direct
taxation, requiring a little more thar
2 mill levy to produce. The state
levy last year for the revenue fund
was 3.5 mills, and this year one mill
making an average of 2.25 mills fol
the biennial period.
Heavy slashing in the estimates
will be done in the next few days by
A. j. Peterson, state budget commits
sioner, and by Governor Christianson
They are determined to bring the bud
get totals for the next two years
down to $4O,0O0,OOO.
The cutting will be harder than
usual. Urgent needs are seen in state
institutions. Some of the depart
ments will be hampered in their pro-
grams unless additional funds are
granted.
The heaviest increases in estimates
come in the budget requests of the
state board of control, the University
of Minnesota, the department of edu-
cation and the livestock sanitary
board. The increases in these four
departments of the state government
asked for are as follows:
: State school aid --- $2,900,200
Board of control 80 5 1887 900
University maintenance 1,131,446
Livestock board --- 295,307
For state aid to schools, carrying
out the provisions of law, the COM
missioner of education is asking &c.
1888, 400 for the year of 1927-192s, and
81, ,061, 800 for 1928-1929. This is a
total of $13,9O0,20O.
For the current biennium the legis-
lature allowed $5,500,000 a year, a
total of $11,000,000.
In addltlOn the legislature two
years ago allowed $1,391, 900 to
make up the amount which the 1928
had lacked in paying

with high tax levy. Governor
vetoed this deficiency
tem on the ground that there was no
real deficiency, the 1923 aid having
been granted pro rata, as far as it
would go.

here is another socalled deficiency
