This measure would limit the powers of trade unions so far as concerns the use of their funds for political purposes. This question has already stirred bitter feelings in conservative and labor ranks.

Stedrns Co. Com.
Retain Salary
Ruling of Supreme Court Not Eff
fective as They Work Under
Special Legislative Act

Last week the Minnesota Su-
preme Court handed down a de-
cision which fxexs the maximum
salaries for Commissioners of
counties having assessed valuations
of from S20,0O0,000 to $4,000
600 at $500 per year.
The act does not affect the
Stearns county board members,
who receive $1,000, mileage and
per diem for their services, al
though the county assessed valu-
alton is just midway between the
extremes cited above, it was
pointed out today here. "A special
act of the legislature Of 1919 is
in operation here which permits
the board to receive the higher
sum. It's constitutionality as a
special act has never been tested.

Washington First in
Highway Building
Planned System of Highways to
Preserve National Unity
Was Able Engineer

George Washington, First IN
war, first in peace, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen," may
also be appropriately called the
first among American road build
ers. Besides being an exception
ally accurate surveyor and engi-
neer, Washington saw the value of
roads (as means of promoting
national unity. When the settle
ments began to spread west of the
Aleghanies, he gave much thought
to the improvement of avenues of
communication between the east
and the west. He foresaw the
danger of internal strife unless
there was free and easy commune
cation between all parts of the
young republic.
Washington took up the study of
surveying at fourteen and at six
teen he was engaged to survey the
estates of Lord Fairfax. AT eig'h-
teen he was appointed public sur
veyor for the province of Virginia.
His diary, from 1748, when he be
gan surveying, until his death, is
full of references to road building.
The following are a few samples:
Feb. II, 1853. "Laid road
from Mt. Vernon Ito the Lain by
Mr.. Manleyis.
Mar. Ia, 1853. "With the peo-
pie working upon the new road be-
tween breakfast and dinner"
Mar. %, 1853. Rode out to see
and examine whether road could
be discovered and opened from
Posey's ferry back of Muddy Hole
Plant, thereby avoiding the Gum
spring which I think may be done
to advantage. !"
Nov. 13, 1885. "Began survey
of the road leading from my ferry
to Cameron.
Washington mapped out and rec
commended the general route of
the Cumberland road. Actual con-
struction was not begun until 1911
and the road, known as the nation
al pike, was extended step by step,
to Wheeling, Columbus and later to
Indianapolis. The invention of the
locomotive, however, made road
building a purely local affair un-
til the automobile came into gener-
al use. Now the national pike is
part of "U. s. route No. 40" ex-
tending from Atlantic City through
Cumberland, Indianapolis, St.
Louis, Kansas City and Denver to
San Francisco.
That Washington was right in
his views on the value of roads as
a means of preventing internal
strife is confirmed by the state
ment frequently made by students
of government today, who say that
"if we had had good roads and as
much travel between the North and
the South in 1860 as we have to-
day, there never would have been
any Civil war;"

Brooten Man Had Close
Call From Monoxide Gas
E. p. Poverud is Overcome from
Gas Thrown Off by Burner on
Vulcanizing Machine

E. P. Poverud was overcome
by carbon monoxide gas late Sat-
urday afternoon while at work in
his vulcanizing plant and tire shop
here, and is thanking his lucky
stars that he is alive today. The
gas fumes came from a gasoline
burner on the vulcanizing machine,
used to heat the rubber of the
tire and the patching material to
point where the two will fuse.
Mr.. Poverud says that the first
intimation he had Of anything
wrong was when a spell of dizzi-
ness cameover him. Having had
no previous experience with mon
oxide gas or ever giving it a
thought in connection with auto
mobiles, he attributed his indispo-
sition to other causes, and decided
to lie down upon some auto cush-
ions until the feeling had passed.
Presently the telephone in the
larger room adjoining rang and he
went out to answer it with diff
Guilty. It was while at the tele-
phone that he collapsed and lost
consciousness. "A patron coming
in found him in this condition and
Immediately called DIR. Townsend.
With the fresher air in this room
Mr.. Poverud regained his senses
in a short time, but the after eff
fects fingered throughout the bal
ance of the day. That the same
thing may not occur again Mr..
Poverud is now taking the precau-
zion to see that fresh air circu-
lates in the vulcanizing room while
the machine Us in operation.
Carbon monoxide gas is odor-
less, which is no doubt the reason
why so many people are overcome
by it.-Brooten Review.

Many Farmers Attend
Alfalfa Meeting Monday
Business Men Find
Newspaper Best Ad-
Uertising Medium

Merchants of New Haven,
Conn.,, who have been publish
ing a paper carrying their
own advertising, have found
that the cost is too great and
have decided to discontinue
the publication. The paper
known as the New Haven
Shopping News, has not been
satisfactory venture. 1t has
been in existence for four
years, in campaign to lower
advertising rates. However,
the added cost has been more
than the cost would have been
per merchant had they used
the columns of their news
paper. Now the merchants
have decided to place all of
their advertising with the
newspaper at the "let live
rates" that the paper asked in
the first place. Eventually it
is learned that newspaper add
vertising is the cheapest and
in the long run the best.

Parents of the Northwest
to Study Their Big Job
Conference Sessions in Minneapo-
lis March $40 for Child Health
and Parent Education

Parents of the northwest are
gong to get together and study
Unelr job. This is the purpose of
the Northwest Conference ON
Child Health and Parent Educa-
ton, which will take place in Min
neapolis March 8, 9 and 10.
The motto of the Conference 10
For the Better Child" and it is
based upon the fact-just now
coming to be realized-that wi,eth-
er a child makes a real success in
life or fails depends upon The ha-
bits ne forms in the first few vears
Of his life.
Parents can do more to maka
their children physically and mem
tally sound, self-supporting, law
abiding and successful future citi-
zens by training them properly in
these first few years than in all
the other years combined" said
DR.. Richard Gliding Board of Min
neapolis, the executive secretary
of the conference.
"Children today are born into a
much more complicated life than
those in the horse and buggy age.
For this reason it is more impor-
tant than it once was to know
about the conditions that influence
child's life. Is your child stub
born? Does he have 'tantrums?'
Does he refuse to eat proper
foods? Is he afraid of incense
quential things? Is he difficult to
manage? Does he seek TO rule the
roost'? Does he dislike to play
with other boys and girls? Does
he seem lazy? Is he shy and back
ward? If one or more of these
symptoms are present, they indi-
cate handicaps which unremoved
will make the child fall short Of
the physical, mental and social sue
cess his parents hope for him.
"The purpose of the Northwest
Conference for Child Health and
Parent Education is to show the
parent how these obstacles may be
removed by father and mother, to
discover how far the parent is the
cause of trouble; in word, to ed
ucate the parent and let the par
emit educate the child. And in this
relation, the work of the teacher
as the foster parent of the child is
not to be forgotten"
Forty-nine organizations of the
state have endorsed the Confer
ence, including the University of
Minnesota, the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs, the Minnesota Con-
gress of Parents & Teachers, the
Children's Bureau, State Board of
/! Control, the Minneapolis Civic &
Commerce Association, the st.
Paul Association, the Minneapolis
Rotary Club, the Lions Club and
the Kiwanis Club; the health and
social agencies and the churches OF
the Twin Cities. Invitations have
been sent to organizations In
eleven northwest states.
More than a score of speakers
of nationwide reputation win be
present and will speak during the
Conference. All sessions will be
held in the Lyceum Theatre.

PRESIDENT GETS
RELIEF MEASURE
All Proposed Amendments
to McNary-Haugen Bill
Defeated by Congress
A YEAR BATTLE ENDS
Generally Expected Presi-
dent Coolidge Will Veto
Has 10 Days to Sign

Washington, Feb. 18-The Nc
Nary-Haugen farm relief bill to-
day is squarely up to President
Coolidge. Three years from its
inception in congress, the measure
with it's widely debated equaliza-
ton fee provision for price stabili-
cation now must be passed upon by
the nations chief executive.
Final action at the Capitol came
last night when the house, by a
vote of PA to 178, approved the
bill in exactly the form it passed
the senate, and sent it to she White
House for either enactment into
law or fiat rejection.
Approved by the senate AT to
80 or eight votes to the good, the
house gave the bill a margin of
only SO votes more than needed,
and chieftains in the McNary-
Haugen camp made no effort to
deny the contention of opponents
that strength, at least in the house
chamber, would be lacking to
muster the two-thirds necessary to
pass the bill over a presidential
veto.
Congressional opinion was di-
vided in closing hours of debate
over which position Mr.. Coolidge
would take. In the absence of any
definite expression each member
held his own conviction and fore
casts and predictions ran rifle.
Sometime today a copy of the
measure bearing the signatures of
Vice President Dawes, as presid-
ing officer of the senate, and
Speaker Longworth of the house,
is expected to be transmitted by
messenger to the White house. No
more foramality in this procedure
is planned than if it We're any or
binary bill.
Under the constitution, the pres
ident has 10 days in which to
veto or sign the measure. Should
he do neither, it would automatic.
ally. become law.
Mr., Coolidge undoubtedly will
take no action until he has con-
ferred with. Secretary Jardine and
probably other members of his
cabinet. Because of this, several

SPARKS RESPONSIBLE

New Munich, Feb. 2S-A $685.
600 fire of undetermined origin,
probably arising from chimney
sparkes setting fire to the roof of
the Meier Hardware company
building at New Munich, RACED
three buildings in the village dur
ing the early morning hours de-
spite the combined efforts of the
New Munich and Melrose fire de-
partments.
The fire was discovered last
night at about 1890 o'clock when
it was seen that the Ed Never
hardware store roof was a mass of
flames. An alarm was sounded
and aid called from Melrose.
The fire swept through the
frame building with great fierce
ness and spread to the Peter Lee
Clair soft drink parlor adjoining,
a two story frame building. From
there sparks soon set fire to the
LeClair residence and the entire
village was threatened.
Efforts were directed toward
saving the adjoining structures and
the buildings were RACED. Mem
bers of the families resident in the
building were warned quickly and
escaped without danger. No one
was injured.
Joseph Frieler was the owner of
the buildings occupied by LeClair.
The fire was not pronounced under
control until dawn with fire fight
ers and volunteers battling val
lantly ito save the remainder of
the village. Insurance estimates
obtainable today showed only par
tial coverage. ---- :,

Man Wants Ring Returned;
Girl Brings $4,000 Action
Roy Jardine of Todd County Must
Meet Milacca Young Woman in
District Court

Roy o. Jardine, resident of
Todd county, has started a suit in
the district court of Mile Laos
county to replevin a diamond ring
from Miss Ethel Trumble, of Mi
laca, which he gave her when they
were keeping company together.
Miss Trumble has filed counter
claim for $4,000 for breach of
promise against Jardine. Miss
Trumble is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. E. Trumble, pio-
neer residents of Milaca, and she
is very highly esteemed and re-
spected here. Her many friends
here know that no blame can at
tach to Miss Trumble for this un-
fortunate affair and she will have
the sympathy and support of her
home people in this attempt to in
volve here in trouble. The st.
Cloud Times, of Feb. 18th, made
the following mention of the mat
ter:
Faced with a claim of
$1,000 for breach of promise fol-
lowing his attempt to replevin a
diamond ring valued at from $500
to 5000, Roy Jardine, of Todd
county has filed suit with the Mile
Laos county district court against
Ethel Trumble of Mile Laos coun-
ty and former st. Cloud girl.
"Jardine yesterday filed a de-
murrer against the counter-claim
with Judge Roeser in st. Cloud,
but the court held that Miss Trum-
BILE could legally file the counter
claim.
.rThe complaint states that Jar
dine kept company with Miss
Trumble for several years and that
he gave her a diamond ring which
he claims was worth 5000. She
sets the value at $500.
"He claims that later she saic
she could not marry him and the
plaintiff gives the reason of the
alienation as transfer of affection
Anyway, she refused to return the
ring, saying that she refused to
marry him because of his owl
transgressions.
.Some time after he filed the
replevin suit she filed a counter
claim for $4,000 charging breach
of promise"

" Alfalfa Hatch" Makes
Very Interesting and In
structive Address
PROFITABLE PRODUCT
One Ton Alfalfa Has Food
Value of Sc Bushels
of Corn

/ Several hundred farmers visited
Sank Centre Monday to attend the
Alfalfa meeting at the Caughren
theatre and heard a most interest
ing and instructive address de-
livered by C. E. Hutcheson one of
the best known Alfalfa experts in
the Northwest.
Mr.. Hutchinson said that Cen
trail Minnesota was especially well
adapted to the successful growing
of Alfalfa-but to do so the seed
bed should be properly prepared.
1t was imperative that the soil
should be well tested to ascer-
tain the amount of lime necessary.
With the careful selection of soil
and preparation of the seed bed
every acre in this section should
produce at least five ton of choice
Alfalfa every year. -...
There is nothing known to man
that is as valuable for food for
cattle, horses, swine and poultry
as Alfalfa.
There is nothing raised on the
farm which will pay as big divi-
dends as Alfalfa. There are over
$4,000 head of cattle in Stearns
county and Mr.. Hutcheson insisted
that there should be we'll over 49,
600 acres of Alfalfa grown in the
county every year.
Mr.. Hutchinson traced the de-
velopment of Alfalfa in Minneso-
ia. 1t was first brought to Carver
county from Germany by Mr..
Grimm about so years ago. The
original field is still producing a
satisfactory amount of Alfalfa
each year.
In 1900 there were approximate
ly 5000 acres of Alfalfa grown in
Minnesota. In 1926 something
over 100000 acres were raised.
In comparing food values Mr..
Hutcheson claimed that one ton of
Alfalfa was worth as much as SO
bushels of corn.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Mr.. Hutcheson invited the farm
ers to ask him any questions rela-
live W Ollc SIOWlHS VI i1lldlld dllu
comparing it's food value with 9TH
er legumes. Many present took adj
vantage of the invitation and a
very Instructive 20 minutes fol-
lowed.
The gentleman demonstrated
that he was familiar with his sub
ject and he was very patient and
courteous in answering fully all
questions propounded to him.
The four reel film "The Chron-
icle of Time" prepared by the St.
Cloud Daily Times, showed many
scenes purporting to depict early
day life in Stearns county, down
to the present day. The idea back
of the picture was to show the de-
velopment of the Times. The last
reel was devoted to
the dairy industry of the county,
and in this the Brown Swiss herd
of Farview Dairy Farm, owned by
F. P. Minette & Son of Sank Cen
tire, played prominent part. The
picture on the whole was very in
teresting. i
