which will be removed when the
new bridge is ready.
A report from Washington some
weeks ago was to the effect that
the old wooden structure, when it
has served it's purpose over the
Mississippi, would be transferred
bodily to the northern border, to
span the Pigeon river between
Minnesota and Ontario.
State Auditor Ray P. Chase,
whose home is in Anoka, several
years ago used the experience Of
Anoka in paying for its bridge as
an argument in favor Of some con-
troll of bonding habits of local gov
ering bodies. He urged that mu-
inequalities and other governing
bodies be required to provide for
retirement of a bond issue over a
period of years, by setting aside
funds each year in a sinking fund
to cover principal and interest.
Such a measure was passed by the
last legislature.

Raise Requirement or
High School Entrance
State Department Aims to Stand
ardize Conditions in Various
Parts of State

Inthe future, state examinations
will be given in American History,
Arithmetic, Geography, Grammar
Composition, Reading, Writing,
Spelling, Citizenship, and Hygiene
Sanitation. In order to secure
County Diplomas, a pupils must
have state credits in any four of
the following: 1. American His
tory, 2. Arithmetic, 8. Geography,
4. Grammar-Co Composition and 5.
Reading, and any two of the fol-
lowing four. ;. 1. Writing, 2. Spell
ing, 8. Citizenship, A. Hygiene-San-
itation. Amy pupil who wishes to
attend High School after gradual
ing from the grades must have
state credits in any four of the first
and any two of the second group
as enumerated above. In short,
the County Diploma will no longer
admit pupils to High School as
heretofor: That admittance being
based solely on state credits, the
applicant of the High School must
present admittance.
All examinations will be based
on the new curriculum and will be
largely objective in nature, and
similar to those offered in History
in 1928. The tests in Reading will
be based upon the comprehension
of the pupil and his knowledge and
appreciation of our outstanding
literature. The state passing mark
will differ in the various branches,
but will be such as to pass the up
per rs per cent of the pupils in
the various branches.
No double examinations will be
permitted, and all papers must be
forwarded to the office of the
County Superintendent. In other
words, pupils taking April exami.
nations cannot take the May ex-
aminations in the same branches.
No pupil below the eighth grade
should be permitted to take the
examinations.
Pupils who have earned State
Credits in any OF the six required
for graduation, but who still lack
other credits are not necessarily
considered graduates in the branch
es in which they have earned such
credits, but they may be required
to take the full amount of the
eighth grade, regardless of any
credits they might have. This is
made necessary by the promotion
of the Compulsory Education
Board by the terms of which
all pupils under sixteen years of
age must attend school through the
entire term.
Pupils are not graduates until
,, they have earned all credits for an
eighth grade diploma.

1928 Minnesota Crops all
Show Substantial Gains
Value Of Produce Increases for
Grains; Nine Crops Included
in Summary

St. Paul, Dec. 20-The gross
value of 'Minnesota's nine princi-
pal crops in 1928 exceeded that of
the same crops in 1927 by So
953,000, Paul Kirk Federal statisti-
clan reported.
The combined gross farm value
of corn, winter wheat, spring
wheat, oats, barley, rye, flax, po-
tatoes, and tame hay was $272,-
095, 900 this year, compared with
1896, $4,000 one year ago. The
5-year 1922-1926 average for these
same crops was $28O,275, 900.
Corn, all spring wheat, oats, bar
ley, and tame hay show increased
values while winter wheat, rye,
flax, and potatoes show decreases
The December 1 farm price of only
two crops, flax and tame hay, is
higher than last year. Potatoes
show the greatest drop being only
one-half of last years price.
Adding the farm value of buck
wheat, dry beans, and wild hay to
that of the nine principal crops the
total farm value for 1928 of the
twelve crops would be $286,985,-
900, compared with $284,080, 900
for 1927, or gain of nearly 49,
100000.

Drinking Large Quantities
Of Water Very Healthful
Prevents Indigestion and Other
Maladies-Has Many Other
Good Uses ..--s-

st. Paul, Dec 25.-'Drink at
least six glasses of water a day.
That should be the minimum. Drink
more if you are thirsty"
This is the advice of the health
committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association in bulletin
issued. Most of the people drink too
little water, declares the bulletin,
which adds that the drinking of
water should be ''health habit"
'There are several reasons why
the drinking of water is necessary
to bodily health and vigor," de-
clares the bulletin. 1t helps to
regulate the temperature by dis
tributing heat to its various parts
and by disposing Of surplus heat
through perspiration. And last, but
not least, water is a most import
ant factor in the removal of waste.
"The food which is burned in the
body to keep us warm an give US
the power to work and move, pro-
duces waste just as the burning of
coal produces ashes. Then, too,
there is a constant breaking down
and wearing out of the cells and
tissues. This broken down and
,, worn out material is thrown into
the blood to be disposed Of by the
skin, lungs, kidneys and intestines.
Copious water drinking aids in the
elimination of waste products.
"In addition, we must not for
get that every tissue and every Or
gan, even the teeth, contain water.
In fact, the body is about two
thirds water and this proportion
must be maintained. Every day
about five pints of water is lost
through the various organs of elimi-
nation and this loss must be made
up if the human machine is to do
its work properly. Since only a
part is replaced by the food that
we eat, it is necessary to make up
the deficit which amounts to about
six glasses.
"Simple and necessary as it is to
drink plenty of water there are
many who do not take sufficient
quantity. Such people are &C
customed to give their systems less
than the required amount and al
though they may suffer from head
aches and indigestion they never
dream that lack of water has any
thing to do with such disturbances.
eff therefore, you have not
been in the habit of drinking six
glasses of water each day, COM
mence to do so at once. Take one
or two in the morning before
breakfast, preferably warm. Take
the other four during the day.
They will act not only as a flush to
the outwaste products but will help
the liver, kidneys and skin to per-
form their functions.
"The question is often asked as
to the advisability of drinking wat
err at meals. There is no objection
to this habit provided it is not used
to wash down poorly masticated
food. Never drink with food in
your mouth.
"Thirst is poor indicator of our
water needs. Drink six glasses of
water each day."
