It is estimated that the average out

will be S32 or slightly more. Last year
the per capita average was $50; while
in 1925 it was S29. The fact that bet

RED CROSS 81

Support of the Red Cross was ask
ed Thursday in a proclamation issued
by Governor Christianson in connec-
ton with the organizations roll call
from Armistice day to Thanksgiving
Governor Christianson's proclamation
reads:
.'The American National Red Cross,
in the fiscal year which ended June
80, 1928, rendered aid in &c domestic
disasters, assisting over 100000 per-
sons, and in % foreign disasters af-
fecting 100000 people.
''These figures do not include $685.
500 persons now receiving Red Cross
food and clothing in Porto Rico.
"These disasters emphasizes the ne
cessity for public support of the Am
erican Red Cross" 1t is significant
that all the regular activities Of the
Red Cross in the field of health and
education have been carried on thru
out the past year in spite of the al
most continuous disaster emergen-
cies. The organization is dependent
upon the roll call membership dues in
order to maintain in readiness its
disaster relief personnel and to con-
duct its regular program.
Therefore, as Governor of Mime
sofa, 1 urge the people of our COM
monwealth to respond to the needs of
the American Red Cross during the
roll call from Armistice day, Novem-
Der II, to Thanksgiving day, Novem-
Der 20, that the state of Minnesota
may do its share, as it has done here
tofore, in helping to meet the require
ments of the needy and the suffering
in disasters that may come in the
future.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

CORN BORER CHECKED
BY CLEANUP CAMPAIGNS

DR.. w. H. Larrimer, in charge of
European corn borer control work for
the United States Department of
Agriculture, can see little silver lin
ing in the borer cloud. He advises
crop specialists and entomologists of
the University of Minnesota that,
while the imported pest cannot be
exterminated, "the outlook is not so
dark as tat first appeared"
1t is not so dark, DR.. Larrimer ex-
plains, because farmers of Kent and
Essex counties in Ontario have dem
onstrated that the corn crop can come
back when there is thorough and
concerted cleanup of all cornsta1ks,
stubble, and other remnants. In 1925
and 1926 the corn crop was complete
ly destroyed over large areas of the
two counties. Followed systematic
cleanup campaigns in 1927 and 1928
with the result that good crop of
mature corn was harvested the pres
ent season in the same fields where
it was total loss three years ago.
Under the original attack of the
borer the corn acreage of the two
counties was reduced IS percent and
other crops planted. This year the
corn acreage was increased 25 per-
cent, says the government man, be-
cause the farmers have discovered
they can live with the borer if they
have to. determination is impossi-
BILE because the borer can manage to
live on some 200 kinds of plants to
be found in this country.

Institution

Using part Of an auto spring Leaf
to smash in the rear basement door
thieves Thursday evening gained en-
trance to the Wolff company store
in this city and made their getaway
with approximately two hundred dol.
lars worth of merchandise, taking
only mems wear such as suits, over
coats, sweaters, shoes, shirts, caps,
underwear, etc. The loot would prop
ably make up two complete outfits
according to Manager C. S. Taube
who made the general checkup of the
stock, following the discovery of the
theft on Friday morning.
According to an investigation of
the robbery the burglary had prob
ably been carefully Planned Tor alcer
breaking through the rear basement
door the thieves came up the elevator
shaft at the rear of the main floor
and proceeded to check over the stock
of mems furnishings. 1t was also
quite evident that side door along
the east wall, leading to the base
ment, had been tempered with, but
failing in their-attempt to open this
passage-way the thieves came up the
elevator shaft at the rear of the
building.
The merchandise stolen is believed
to have been packed away in suit
cases for at least two of the suitcases
were found missing on Friday morn
ang. They apparently took their time
and tried on suits and overcoats to
get the size wanted, throwing others
below the display racks or counters
where they were found by Manager
Taube next morning.
A check-up revealed that two dress
suits and two overcoats were taken,
several pairs of dress shoes, mems
socks, few suits of underwear,
hirts, caps and sweaters. The dry
goods department was apparently I'M
touched and likewise other depart
anents in the store.
The exact time of the robbery is
hard to determine Mr.. Taube re-
ports that he was in the store short
ly after eight o'clock and that later
he attended the theatre and is of the
opinion that the store may have been
robbed during that time.
According to a communication re-
ceived here Wednesday morning by
Chief of Police Wells Wohlford from
the detective agency at Minneapolis,
two men, giving their names as Leo
Schneider and Floyd Dodge were I'M
der arrest and one was said to have
confessed to the local robbery. He
was also wanted at Owatonna on 8
Similar charge. The Minneapolis de-
partment at the same time informed

disc was in their possession and that
he could get it at any time. Conse.

were apprehended in the Twin Cities

CANTALOUPE MEN
PLAN TO START
CLEARING HOUSE

An effort is under way for the
establishment of clearing house
for cantaloupes in Imperial Valley
and at meeting to be held Satur-
day at 8 p. III. at Elks club, Brawley
plans for the organization of such
clearing house will be perfected.
y call has been sent out to all
growers, shippers, chambers of com
merce representatives and to vari-
Gus industrial centers interested in
furthering the development of can
taloupes.
Donald c. Coon, managing direct
or of the Nineyardists Association
of California, will be present at the
meeting and will assist in bringing
about the organization. He has had
considerable experience in this
work. Other prominent men of the
Pacific Coast region will be pres
ent.
1t is believed by those backing
the project that with a clearing
house system it will be possible to
ship p per cent more cantaloupes
out of the valley and that better
profit can be realized per crate than
the present price returns.
Full cooperation is necessary to
make the movement success and
if it is found that immediate organ
iZation can be effected, it is expect
cd that the movement will have q
bearing on the present season.
The persons planning the organ
ization are therefore anxious that
all chamber of commerce officials,
railroad representatives, bankers,
and others interested in cantaloupes
be present at the meeting 1t is be-
lieved that the handling of melons
through a clearing house, central
izing the exporting of the crop will
be of great advantage to all con-
cerned.
