WORK PROGRESSES IN STRICKEN ZONE
California Flood Arta Assuming
 Normal Appearance

Los Angeles. May 4.-LRi-Human brains. money and machinery are turning the Santa Clara river valley of death into cauldron of energy seething with new life.
 Into this peaceful orchard vale swept by desoaating flood when the St. Francis dam burst. have poured the resources of the Associated Con- tractors of the city of Los Angeles to dig it out of its pail of silt. replant its orange groves. rebuild it's shatter- ed homes and restore it as nearly as possible to it's former estate.
 Tented towns of reconstruction workers have risen along the course of the little river where pent up waters, when they broke loose, cost approximately 400 lives. Where a torrent from 40 to 75 feet high swept through the midnight black ness in March, now a quiet ambling brook meanders to the sea, held to it's course by puny rampant oi sandbags scarcely one foot high.

 Thousands of trees from orchard and highway borders were destroyed and those that still stand in the pathway over which the flood rush. ed are mute witnesses of its force Instead of being erect they lean. TON

 The average monetary loss from forest fires for the nine year period from 1919 to 1927, Colonel Greeley said. amounted to s1,506.000 year.
 In 1927. he said. the government spent $l.656,00O in all the lines of work chased as fire prevention and in addition spent a little more than $3.000.000 for fire suppression or fire fighting.
 Statistics were presented to show that in 1927 it was possible to put out sS.5 per cent of the forest fires before they had reached ten acres in size. compared with 79 per cent the year before. The forest chief said distinct advantage was gained by using enough mo- at strategic points to report each blaze at the when he is able to reach it in time. single ranger. with perhaps one companion, can control and extin- guish a fire by the time usS of his axe and shovel.
 The most serious fires are those which occur in the mountainous re- gions, hard of access. where it sometimes takes two or three days to get fire crew to the scene. By the time such fires are controlled huge acreages of stalwart timber ing tree trunks and limbs. incapable of replacement for years.

 From the silt, in some sections many feet deep. the steam shovels and individual workers bring up the wreckage of dozens of homes that were plotted out in the catastrophe. and now and then a body to add to the toll.
 Brushing aside technicalities with the same frankness and Quickness with which 1t admitted moral and legal responsibility. the city of Los Angeles got the work of restoration under way almost before the flood had ceased to run.

Govt. Report Shows Need Of
 This Force

Washington. May { R-Two hum dred seventy-five additional guards and lookout watchmen will be hired 10 fight fires in the national forests as the result of a projected increase in the forestry service fund.
 Necessity for the increase. cost ing e76.000. was pointed out in congressional committee hearings by Col. William B. Greeley, chief forester. Last year he said there were but 2,71o guards for a total area of 15s.0oo.oo0 acres. of which 9l,7S0,o0O acres carry a high fire hazard. Each man was responsible for an average of 34.0o0 acres. Dur ing the season there were 5,554 tires of all sizes.
 With the increase" Colonel Greeley said. i've propose to em- ploy s2io,00O for additional fire per- sonnel and also for more adequate training and preparation of the pro- tective organizations for fire duties.
 The 275 additional men will bring the average area for each forest guard down from 34,0o0 acres to a little less than S1,000 acres. Out of this increase s2S,52S will be em- ployed in providing additional fire fighting equipment.
 We need to build up very ma terially our equipment for fire sup presion purposes. We are putting into that from $2o.0 .0o0 to s25,o0O a year now which we are able to save m various ways, but we need at

CHRISTIANSON URGES
RED CROSS SUPPORT

Support of the Red Cross was ask
ed Thursday in proclamation issued
by Governor Christensen in connec-
ton with the organizations roll call
from Armistice day to Thanksgiving.
Governor Christianson's proclamation
reads:
1.-THE American National Red Cross,
in the fiscal year which ended June
30, 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 it's 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 lat 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 a thorough and
concerted cleanup of all cornstalks,
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 a good crop of
mature corn was harvested the pres
ent season in the same fields where
it was a 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.

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 G. 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 alter
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
1ng. 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 un-
touched and likewise other depart
ments 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 Lee
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 {
similar charge. The Minneapolis de
partment at the same time informed
Mr.. Taube that the stolen merchan
disc was in their possession and thai
he could get it at any time. Conse
quently Mr.. Taube is at Minneapolis
today to bring back the stolen arti.
cles. Details as to how the two mel
were apprehended in the Twin Cities
were not given.-Sleepy Eye Herald

Accidents fatal to two LeSueur
county men were reported last week,
with the peculiar coincidence that al
though the two mishaps were unre-

acter, both of the victims were well
known employees of the same organ
ization-the Westerman Lumber COM
pany, operating offices at LeSueur
Center and Madison Lake, with which
branches the two men were connected.
The first victim was Joseph Janda
of LeSueur, Center who was killed
when his Chrysler car was wrecked
at a point several miles south OF
Mankato. The other member of the
organization who was killed in an &C
cident was George Mcbride, 81, OF
