1.-TWO Minute Talks"
BY
MISS AUBYN CHINN
MAY Basket Time

A pretty, though old, custom that Is
practiced in some parts OF this
country is the delivery of May bas-
kets of flowers on May 1st.
All over the country, May Day is
Child Health Day. Why not celebrate
this day by having each child at
school make his lunch basket for the
day out of cardboard and gay crepe
paper and into it put good health
lunch?
Make thin whole grain bread and
butter sandwiches. Spread with but
ter, use some simple wholesome fill
ing, such as cream cheese and chop
ped egg. Have bright red apple or
an orange, some crisp celery or lettuce
a small bottle of milk, some dates or
other dried fruit for candy. Suggest
to the teacher that she take the
children out Of doors for their lunch
and make picnic of it.
An Economical Dish
One of the simplest ways of pro-
viding good, tasty food for small
amount of money is by the use of
cheese. One of the American ideas
that we must change. is to think of
cheese as just an extra" for the
meal Try having these cheese dish
es as the main dish of your meal.
Supplement them with potatoes and
green vegetable. something crisp
such as celery or cabbage, and see if
your family does't ask you to have
them again very soon.

slices of toasted white or rye bread.
Serve hot.
This rarebit cannot become stringy,
is digestable and any unused portion
makes a tasty sandwich filling.

tuents as published in late issue Of
the congressional record. This Leg
islator rounding out his first term
makes a bold bid for reelection By
reciting his achievements In behalf
of his constituents. The record
stamps him as messenger boy at
salary of $4,000 a year. Among
his contributions to the reading mat
ter and eventually the waste baskets
of his district was the distribution of
$50, 900 pieces Of franked mail. No
doubt, he was Obliged to pay portion
of the printing costs, but private
citizen mailing this tremendous vol
ume would have paid nearly $4,000
postage, an item which is now check
ed off and paid by the general tax
payers.
At the beginning of the political
campaign the Civil Service Com
mission is passing the word that poll
tical activity on the part of Federal
employees having civil service rat
ing is not good form. The commits
sion has a difficult task in attempt
ing to restrain office holders. espec-
tally those having sufficient political
influence to give them paid office
over the rank and file of the govern
ment employees. All of this class
realize full well that change in Adj
ministration assures a race for their
jobs. The commission endeavors to
enforce the law but ordinarily they
find themselves helpless against the
loopholes that political exigencies
permit.
The Federal Trade commission has
wound up the first of series of In
vestigations into propaganda activ-
tiles of the public utilities. The
hearings will be resumed in the fall
when the higher ups" or executives
of the utility companies will be COM
PEELED to testify as to the financial
affairs of their concerns. Certain
groups intend to keep the power
trust" alive during the electioneering
period. This fact encourages the
federal trade commission to renew
fishing expeditions into the files of
the utility companies.

Vesternorrland, Sweden, and the
claim is made that the name of their
wealthy American kinsman really was
John Anton Molin; he is said to have
changed his name shortly after hav-
ing arrived in the United States more
than fifty years ago. 1t has been
carefully figured out that if the Is
million dollars go. to Sweden, the
amount will be equivalent to 55 mil
lion Kroner.
New Excursions.
Reports have been received to the
effect that several lodges of the Dan
ish Brotherhood of America are plan
ming excursions to Denmark during
1929; also, plans are on foot for
gathering as many Danish-American
Freemasons as, possible for a special
Denmark excursion. At the present
time three organized groups of Dan
Americans are visiting the old
country where elaborate programs
have been prepared in their honor.
HtllOs USIO.
Diect telephone connection between
cities in the United States and Oslo
the capital of Norway. was opened
last week, and it is now possible to
telephone from practically any point
in this country to all principal cities
in the Scandinavian countries.-The
first conversation between the United
States and Denmark took place be-
tween Director General Mondrup, OF
the Danish Telegraph and Telephone
Co., and Secretary Treschow of the
Danish legation in Washington. The
same day an American in Copenhagen
telephoned Governor Smith at Albany
N. Y, and Mayor Walker of New
York City. The conversations were
reported to have been entirely sue
cessful.

times that business interests are TAX
ing an increased interest in the per-
sonal progress Of the members of
their organizations.
To be happy and successful in bust
ness requires happiness and success
in the home
Thus business organizations which
encourage thrift among their employ
es are in turn reaping the rewards
of greater efficiency.
But this is not to be viewed from
the standpoint of selfishness. While
the company secures benefits from the
thrift of it's employees, the community
the nation and society in general are
likewise benefited.
The establishment of thrifty fam
lily in community is always an adj
ded force to the progress of that COM
munity.

OF what was left of the swamp

and has left 100000 acres. There
are some small lots, in two instances

eight counties. Substantially the en-
tire remaining lands are iE the fif-

that the most valuable lands be sold

Minnesota, at the tender age OF
three score and ten-which is mere
infancy for a sovereign state-has ac-
cumulated a trust fund of SCI, 100000
and has S2O0.00OOO0 in sight. The
state has converted into cash securi-
ties six million acres of its patrl-
mony, used 100000 to pay for dead
horses. and has two million acres left.
On the two million acres that remain
the state expects to realize in the
next sixty years three times rs much
as from the six million acres that
have been turned into funds.
There were 100000 acres of
school lands. There remain unsold
$4,000 acres. In IS counties there
isn't snitch left; in four counties
there is forty or a fraction; in five
more a quarter section or less: sub
stantially what is left is all in the
northeastern counties, constituting
the cutover country and including the
mineral belt.
There were 100000 in the agricul.
tural college grant. reduced to $4,000
in the process of selection, and $4,000
acres in the direct grants to the uni

sold but $4,000 acres. lying in four
counties of the cutover district.
The internal improvement grant of
100000 acres was practically all alb
sOrbed in the misadventure with the
railroad bonds of 1857; there re-
mains $50 acres scattered in five
counties.
The swamp land grant came to A.
711,000 acres after some had been
lost to squatters and some had been
brushed away by Indian reservations
and some had been picked up in rail-
road grants for which the state
should have got lieu lands if there

first. Practically that meant the
lands that would fetch the best price
The sales began in the seventeen
counties southeast of the Minnesota
river and in less than ten years they
were all cleaned up. In another ten
years the school lands were practical
ly all sold up the Mississippi Valley
as far as Otter Tail and as far west
as Martin County in the southern
tier.
In the sos settlement swept into
the Red River Valley and followed up
the Minnesota river on both sides and
flowed into the southwest corner OF
the state. In 1880 we find the nota-
ton:
Eight agricultural counties with
100000 acres have not been touch
ed: Big Stone, Kittson, Lac qui
Parle, Lincoln, Murray, Pipestone,
Traverse and Yellow Medicine.
1t was further noted that two-fifths
of the uninhabited portion of the
whole state was still unsurveyed; and
one-fifth of the. timbered region, or
one-tenth of the state, was still In
dian reservation.
Since 1900, the largest additions to
the trust funds have come from sales
in northern Minnesota and from tim
Der and minerals. Land sales. as re-
ported by Dunn in 1902, had been
phenomenally large for all classes,
and prices far IN excess of the aver
age. The sales in 1901 had included
the public building lands in Kandi-
yohi county, while sales in the Red
River Valley averaged 1882 an acre
compared with an average of $6.32
for forty years previous.
But in 1902 there were sold 100000
acres in the central and northwestern
counties, being the least developed

The following table gives the
names of owners and records of
herds in the Askov Cow Testing AS

than an average of 80 lbs. butterfat

ending June 80, 1928. All cows list
ed with the Association are taken

and widest part of the state" at an
average "a cents an acre better than
the forty year average.
Naturally-but southern Minnesota
was undeveloped and a wild country
forty years earlier. Sales and prices
kept even with development all the
way along.
Still, Dunn was never tired of COM
pairing the proceeds of these sales in
the rough and wild and "uninhabit-
able" regions with those in the gar
den spot of Minnesota"
Obviously what is left is valuable
mainly for forest and mineral values
And for the handling of these lands
in such wise as may bring the largest
returns to the children's heritage
new considerations of policy are in
order.

If you ever get to feeling conceited
about what you have accomplished In
life, read a little biography and find
out how some others with half your
opportunities have won worldwide
recognition before they were anyway

feel depressed you might note the
number who have won both fame and
fortune after they were far older than
you.-Carthage Press.
