BOXING DINNERS ARE
NOW FASHION IN PARIS
Between Course Bouts Feature
Smart Banquet.

PARIS, May 1.-THE boxing
dinner, with three-round bouts be-
tween each course, has been in
troduced in Paris to supplant the
tea-dance and dinner-dance.
The first boxing dinner had a
fashionable Franco-American at
tendance, with the tables occupying
ringside seats. Between the soup
and fish, two stalwart battled bare
listed to impersonate the earliest
matches of modern boxing history.
Between the fish and roast, two
heavies impersonated Jim Jeffries
and Bob Fitzsimmons. With the
vegetables came a battle royal, with
five Negroes impersonating the
greatest fighters of the black race,
Jack johnson, Sam McVey, Battling
Sikh, Sam Langford and Joe
jeanette. With the champagne and
ices came a gentleman's combat.

Telephone authorities say that the
recently opened direct telephone con-
nection between American and Danish
cities is attracting gradually in
creasing number of patrons; usually
one or two conversations a day take
place, but in few instances four con-
versations between parties in Den
mark and parties in America have
been recorded in a single day. 1t is
thought that the rate now charged
will decrease within a few months
that is, as soon as the firms involved
become convinced of the practic-
ability of the permanent traffic.
Short-wave experiments are being
conducted between some. American
radio stations and the Danish govern
ment station at Kallundborg, and re-
suits, however experimental, are said
to have been quite encouraging.

TWO STATE CHAMPION
JERSEYS AT ~" FARM

Two purebred cows in the Jersey
herd at University Farm have estab-
lished their claims to being the cham
pion butterfat producers of their breed
and class in Minnesota. Sophie's Kada
543952, a senior four-year-old, pro-
duced 653 pounds of fat while on Of
fetal record for 1865 days. Albion's
Empress 6214S6, in the aged cow class
made record of 512 pounds of butter
fat in a year. The records are recog-
Eized by the American Jersey Cattle
Club which has forwarded to the dairy
headquarters at University Farm its
certificates awarding the honors. The
university's Jersey herd contains
about 40 head, counting the young
stock, and is making fine production
record.

Of $17,972,O0 of which $15,5OO, 900
belongs to the school fund.
Braden's prediction was not so VEN
turesOme after all.
The measured tonnage on state
lands now under lease came to 1851
100000 which, at the contract price
of twenty-five cents per ton, would
yield S42, 200, 900 to the trust funds.
Not all land in the known mineral
belt has been explored. There are,
no doubt, more deposits to be found
which may make large or small addi-
tions to be fund; maybe it will double
the high grade tonnages now in sight,
Outside of the measured tonnage
of merchantable ore, there is an i'm
mense tonnage of ore below present
market grades. There is one body
of ore on the eastern Mesaba in Lake
county which can be followed straight
across the school section by the out
crop. 1t adjoins the property at Bah
bitt which has been thoroughly drilled
and is the same formation. This ore
has to be ground and shaken and
sifted to separate the ore from the
dross. Private enterprise has in
vested $5,OOO,OOO in the plant at Bah
bitt for beneficiating the ore. 1t is
now lying idle, but there is no ques-
ton that the ore will eventually find
a market.
Now in this one block of state

owned ore, Superintendent Wildes
estimates there is 200,000,000 to 300,-
10000 tons. And there are other
like deposits, some of them on state
lands, in Lake and Cook counties.
They are worth today, nothing. They
will be worth in the future, some
thing.
Call it five cents a ton, just to put
a figure on it, There is ground on
which one may venture a prediction
as they did in 1880, that the ores of
no present value will one day con-
tribute to the trust funds as much as
all the sale of school lands in the
whole state.
In addition to the royalties from
ore on state lands, there is added to
the trust fund one-half the occupation
tax, which is another name for the
tonnage tax so long debated in Min
nesota and finally adopted in 1924.
That one-half goes 40 per cent to the
school fund and 10 per cent to the
university.

INFLUENTIAL ORE VALUES

Back in 1890 when the law for min
eral leases had just gone into effect,
Auditor Braden ventured to predict
that the revenues from that source
would in time equal that derived from
the sale of all the school lands in the
southern half of the state.
How about it? The school lands
in the southern half of the state were
sold to the last acre years ago and
brought approximately $7,5OO,OOO. de-
pending on what you call the south
ern half. What is often called south
ern Minnesota is really one-third and
not one-half the area. Minnesota is
bigger than We sometimes think. ST.
Paul, the center of what was recog-
nized as the habitable portion" by the
early settlers, is nearer the Iowa line
than Duluth is to the Canadian bound
airy.
But call it $7,5OO,OOO for the school
lands in the southern half of the
state, out of a total of $15,500,O0O for
school lands. Compared with that,
the royalties on iron ore on state
lands have thus far reached total

min A but one of the most pleasant
ways to get our supply is in our daily
diet.
1t is a simple matter to include
vitamin A each day. Many of our
recipes call for eggs, milk and butter
three important sources. If we fol-
low the advice of nutritionists and in
clude in our daily diets fruits, fresh
vegetables, milk, butter and an egg a
day or three times a week, we may
be certain we are getting that i'm
portant vitamin. The necessary pre-
caution is to have enough of these
basic foods. Use one quart of milk
for children under fourteen and at
least a pint for adults. Whole grain
cereals for breakfast and at least
some of the bread made from whole
grain; fruit at least once; two vege-
tables besides potatoes, one Of them
raw; and two ounces of butter for
every person each day is recon-
mended.
This is not difficult schedule to
| follow and will insure the right guam
| tity of these important food factors as
well as preserve the balance in the
diet.

80 Herds Entered in
Pork Production Race

Thirty-eight Minnesota farmers in
10 counties have entered their swine
herds in the second annual pork pro-
duction contest which was started last
year by the agricultural extension
service of the university, the Mime
sofa Livestock Breeders association
and the Minnesota Swine Growers as
ISOLATION.
Martin county has taken the lead
this year from Mower county. Six
swine growers of Martin have enrolled
their herds. Mower and Dakota are
tied for second place with five entries
each Renville is third with three
entries Probably the largest herd in
the project is that of Charles Becken-
dorf & Sons, of Tenhassen township
Martin county. Some 426 pigs from
SO litters were reported saved on the
Beckendorf farm.
The pork production project was
organized to furnish concrete exam
pies of the best methods of breeding
feeding, and managing the swine

being raised strictly on the sanitary
lines promoted by the agricultural ex-
tension service. Every SOW narrowing
living pigs must be included in the
entry list of farmer entering the
contest. When the pig crop on a given
farm is $50 days of age on the aver
age, the total weight of the pigs must
be determined either by weighing all
of them or at least ten representative
animals to obtain an average. Cash
prizes and trophies will be awarded
the farmers producing the largest
number of pounds per sow. The ten
having the highest average weight of
pigs per SOW will share in the prize
money.
The object of the competition is not
to increase total pork production, but
to increase the number of pigs saved
per SOW, thus cutting down the labor
and feed bills and increasing profits.
The committee in charge is composed
of H. A. Derenthal of Wykoff, L. w.
Kube of South st. Paul, and E. E.

1.-TWO Minute Talks"
WHAT ARE VITAMINS!
MISS AUBYN CHINN

Scientists, tell us there are four
principal vitamins, A, B, C, D, that are
directly concerned with the proper
growth, skeletal development and gen.
eral physical well-being of our bodies.
Vitamin A, the growth vitamin, is
found in egg yolk, butter, milk, liver,
various other foods and cod liver oil.
Vitamin B has its chief source in
whole grain products, oranges and
tomatoes are an excellent source of
vtamin C, while some of the other
fresh fruits and vegetables also con-
tain large amounts. Vitamin d is
found in sunshine and also in egg
yolk, butter and cod liver oil.
Vitamin A is perhaps the most i'm
portant of the group because it is es-
sential for proper growth and devel'
opment. 1t aids in building up re-
sistance to colds and other infections
Cod liver Oil contains much vita

The state trust funds have there
fore a large stake in the future of
the mining industry. Today there is
no new development. There is no
drilling for ore. There is no activity
in the new district. There is no oper-
alton of low grade properties.
The mining companies are working
out the old leases and making no new
ones. When the present leases are
exhausted, the state will face the pro-
position of building a mining indus
try on low grade properties only.
Some believe that it could not be
done and that Minnesota would be
left with all this low grade ore on
its hands, worth no more than it is
today-which is nothing.
AS to the future development of
these potential values, the state is
thus far absolutely innocent of any
policy.
Regardless of any other interests,

FEED FOR WINTER USE
NEEDS ATTENTION NOW

Hay crops have been making gal
liant fight for recovery, but the handi-
cap imposed by unfavorable weather
last winter and last spring is too
great to be fully overcome. 1t there
fore behOoves Minnesota farmers,
especially dairy farmers, to arrange
for supplies of feed so that they may
be on the safe side when winter
comes.
Andrew Boss, vice director of the
Minnesota Experiment Station, advises
farmers who foresse a hay shortage
to begin making contracts now for
winter supplies. 1t is probable that
nothing is likely to be gained by wait
ing In fact, the trend may be higher
and he who waits may have to pay
more.
livestock can be wintered on good
clean straw and on corn fodder or corn
silage, especially if they are supple
mented with high protein feeds" says
Professor Boss Good quality hay is,
of course, best for keeping up the pro-
duction of dairy cows, but plenty OF
straw and corn fodder is much better
than no feed at all.
Prospects are good for corn crop
Straw is clean and if it is we'll cared
for will make excellent feed. A little
extra attention to curing and preserv-
ing the straw and corn fodder crops
may be the best way out of the pro-
spective feed shortage. Attention tc
these details during the summer and
early fall may save a lot of worry
next winter"

commission. 1t deals with a subject
which is directly related to the homes
of the country. Distinction is made
between quality and quantity and this
is a subject that will be inquired into
by the commission along with it's nu-
merous other lines of investigation.
Another interesting phase also will
concern growing competition between
the chain stores themselves.
May Prove Helpful.
The inquiry of the commission
ought to prove helpful, after it is COM
pleted, in throwing much light on this
class of competition and stimulate the
Independent retailer to a point where
he, can meet it more successfully and
check inrOads which are being made
on his trade.
The department of commerce now
is compiling information relative to
the feasibility of legislation to create
prosperity reserve" designed to
stabilize industry and employment by
the expansion of public works during
periods of unemployment and industri-
al depression. There is nothing new
about the idea, but merely a step in
the direction recommended by the
Presidents conference on unemploy-
ment in October, 1921. The govern
ment-, would be put to no additional
expense for public works carried out
during a period of depression, and
could obtain them at less cost to the
taxpayer, because of the low prices
which ordinarily prevail during these
periods.
