MoDERNIzE SPEED Laws

Ohio has joined the group of
states which recognize by law that
fast driving is not of itself and of
necessity proof of carelessness.
The Boden law, which was enacted
by the Ohio legislature last winter
and which becomes effective July
81, makes three provisions. In con-
gested areas of municipalities the
legal speed limit is 20 miles an
hour, an increase of five miles over
the limit allowed by former stat
ute. In all other areas of munich
palities the legal sped limit is 35

Minerals in Diet
Keep Cow Healthy

ferred to Complex Compounds
Says Blue Valley Institute

Everything a cow produces in
her milk has to be provided in her
ration, says the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute, and if she is
compelled through improper feed
ing to draw heavily on her body
tissues and skeleton in order to
provide the right combination of

parent in slackened milk yield
followed by poor health, and in ex-
IRENE cases gradual break
down. Milk contains minerals and
it naturally follows therefore that
cows should have feeds containing
enough minerals to supply the
mineral needs of maintaining her
own body, the milk she produces
and the requirements of her UNI
born calf. But extensive expert
ments conducted at the Michigan
Agricultural College throw new
light on the feeding of minerals to
dairy cows. While these expert
ments do not minimize the inn
portance of the right kind of min
erals, they do show that simple
mixtures are to be preferred to
complex mineral compounds. They
also show that dairy cattle have
far greater ability to use calcium
than was hitherto believed.

M. e. Mcintyre, carrier on Route
No. 4, brought in some timothy
which he selected from a field on
his route about 4 miles northeast
of Sank Centre on the big hills. The
stalk measures almost five feet and
the heads five inches. That is what
Stearns County soil is doing.
Anton Nelson has put some fine
walks in the city lately, also two
fine cutters, one across Main
street and one across Third street,
which will carry the water off in
fine shape.
The wood workers and iron
workers at the Keller factory have
organized ball teams and are try

The Sank Centre Cold Storage
Co. made 1884 pounds Of butter
during the month of June. Besides
this they bought 1900 gallons of
sweet cream which was shipped to
st. Paul.
The North American Storage
Company, at Sank Centre, bought
$4,000 worth of eggs during the

AS result of the Michigan ex-
periments, it is now believed that
phosphorus is supplied abundantly
in such feeds as wheat, bran, cot
tonseed and linseed meal. How
ever, when alfalfa, clover and 9TH
er legume hays are fed and the
cattle receive but little or no pro-
teien concentrates, it is advisable
to supply mineral mixture made
by mixing equal parts special
steamed bone meal and common
salt. In districts where goiter is
prevalent, .05 pounds of pulverized
potassium iodide should be mixed
with each 100 pounds OF salt.

Increasing Demand for
Minnesota Farm Lands
Delinquent, Borrowers Decreasing
in Number Federal Bank Sur
vey Shows

Fewer delinquent farmer bor-
rowers and increasing demand for
farm land were reported by Of
ficers of The Federal Land Bank
of st. Paul, speaking before a dis
trict convention of National Farm
Loan Associations held at st.
Cloud Saturday.
In his talk to association Off
GERS, F. H. Klawon, president of
The Federal Laand Bank, of st.
Paul, stated that during the first
six months of this year the bank
showed an increase of approx
mately so per cent in the number
of farms sold over the number sold
in the same period year ago. The
same increase also holds true of
the number of acres sold and the
amount of money received. Min
nesota farm sales, in comparing
these two periods, show an in
crease of so per cent, 16 farms hav-
ing been sold in 1928, as compared
with "a farms in 1929.
with the apparent lack of uni
formity in sales policies, and the
number of farms in the hands of
involuntary land owners, the land
sales market is especially favorable
for buyers. There never has been
a better time for the man who is
equipped and wants to farm to OBJ
tain farm home of his own at a
comparatively low price and upon
very favorable terms"
Fewer farmers are delinquent
On their interest payments" said
George S. Gordhamer, treasurer of
the bank. TN percentage, the de-
linquencies are reduced about "a
per cent from a year ago. Mime
sofa shows a reduction of 80 per
cent. There were 1914 per cent
fewer foreclosures under way on
June 80, 1929 than year ago. We
believe these figures indicate quite
clearly that farmers are improving
their position"
Mr.. Thorpe, General Counsel of
The Federal Land Bank of st.
Paul, discussed some of the fea-
lures of the Federal Farm Loan
Act, and in the course of his talk
said, II have heard it said that the
Farm Loan Act is not well writ
ten. My study of it has convinced
me of the opposite. I have found
no law so well constructed to meet
every situation as this law"

Good Lamps Are Needed
for Safe Night Driving
Glaring Lights, Dead Bulbs, Sure
to Cause Accidents, Possibly
Arrests

Glaring Lights, Dead Bulbs, Sure
to Cause Accidents, Possibly
Arrests
See that your lamps are o. K. is
the advice of Earle Brown, chief of
the motor patrol of the Minnesota
Highway department. eff you drive
on the highways at night with one
head light, with the rear light out,
or with glaring lights, the patrol
men may get you," says Mr..
Brown. But worse things than
that may happen. The patrolmen
will treat you courteously and
give you a chance to have YOUR
lights corrected, and by doing so
may save you from bad accident.
But if you do not get your lights
fixed, it is only a question of time
until you will have trouble.
Driving with one light is al
ways dangerous. It is confusing
to the drivers you meet. Sooner or
later someone will make a wrong
guess on which light is out, and
there will be a collision.
CLEARING lights show lack of
courtesy to other drivers. They
are source of danger to everyone
you meet. But they are a greater
danger to yourself. Glaring lights
are seldom caused by too high
candle power, but by improperly
adjusted bulbs which throw the
light upward instead of illuminat-
ing the road. If you have your
lights tested at one of the official
light adjusting stations, it will
make your night driving 100 per
cent safer and more pleasant.
Dead tail lights are another
source of danger, bad enough when
you are driving but worse when
you stop along the road side. For
safety sake, see that your lights
are lit"

At 11:54 the Zeppelin was being maneuvered to the center of the field with the nose pointed eastward.
 At HAS p. m. the last of the mail was being put aboard the airship.
 Leaves at 12:14 A. NJ.
 The dirigible left Los Angeles at 12:14 a. m. today (3:14 A. M. E. s. T.) expecting to land at Lakehurst. N. J., within forty eight hours to bring to an end the first world flight of a lighter -than-air craft.

 Carries Light Load
 The Zeppelin carried a lighter load this time, however, because of altitude to which it must climb in crossing the southern Rocky Moun- tain area. There were 60 persons aboard on the flight from Japan to the Pacific coast.

which attacked the suburb of Hadar Hacarmel, near Haifa, were arrested and taken to Haifa, where many other disturbers have been interned. Haifa was attacked both Sunday and yesterday and many Jews were wounded with some dead.
 At Beisan all Jewish houses were were wounded. Rehowoth, south of Jaffa, was attacked but no casual ties were reported. The Jewish colony at Artuf, between Jerusalem and Jaffa was set on fire.
 Christians Mark Houses
 Considerable footing has occurred over all Palestine and Arab atroci- ties were reported from Mozza but not confirmed. Many Christians in Jerusalem marked their houses with blue crosses as sign that the buildings harbored neither Jews nor Moslems.
 Tere is a scarcity here of medl- cal supplies and food. Prices for the latter have reached almost famine level. The Jerusalem Jew ish communal board has started a fund to maintain the refugees, who have come here from all Palestine.
 The disturbances began last Fri day as a result of conflict growing out of controversy over the wailing wall. what is left of the old left wall of Solomons temple, used by the Jews in religious observances, The Arabs have maintained the observ- ances constituted an obstruction to traffic.

 Dr. Eckener planned to plot the remainder of his course upon his arrival at Fl Paso Texas.
 A northeasterly, route from l1l Paso through Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, hence to Kansas City, St. Louis. Chicago and Cleveland was indicated as the preferred course should weather conditions permit. Should that line of flight be follow ed the Zeppelin was expected 10 reach New York state over the Mo- hawk Valley and then head for New York city and 1akehurst.
 As an alternative it was indicated that a route through New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta, Washington, D. c. and Baltimore might be chosen
 The dirigble left here 19 hours and 5 minutes after it's arrival from Tokyo and Dr. Eckener hoped 10 complete the world flight within 4S hours of the takeoff here.
 
 Municipal Airport, Los Angeles, Aug. 27 P)-The dirigible Graf Zeppelin scraped high tension electric line with it's tail shortly after taking off here early today for Lakehurst, N. J., on the last leg of it's world flight.
 First word that the Zeppelin had met with an accident was received here more than an hour after the takeoff when the Radio Corporation of America reported intercepting a message from the dirigible saying the damage had been slight and that the flight would not be inter- rupted.
 When it was seen that the big dlrigible would have difficulty in gaining altitude immediately after the takeoff. much canned food, such as tea and vegetables, were dumped overheard hastily.
 Eckener Dumps Ballast
 Dr. Eckener at the last minute, arriving late from a downtown ban Quet. ordered the ship liz ghtened in his final tour of inspection, He ordered water ballast dumped and sent for more hydrogen.
 Apparently Dr. Eckener's de- mands were met without need for further hydrogen, for at 11:19 the nose was cut from the mooring mast and the great sky ship was moved down the field.
 For 45 minutes the ground crew walked the ship around the airport while mail was placed aboard and various tests were made by Dr. Hugo Eckener preparatory to the actual take off.
 At 11:51 o'clock the sky ship was still held by the ground crew and another mail truck drove across the field.

All Islam Watching

London, Aug 27 P}-Islamic re- action to Moslem-J Jewish fighting in Palestine was regarded in some cil- cles here today as possibly portenl- ing further disturbing movements within the Mohammedan section of the empire,
 Dispatches from India said statement was issued in Bombay signed by three Mohammedan edi tors of three vernacular newspapers at Lahore, Delhi and Bombay, and by the secretaries of the central Khalifat committee warning the British government:
 "The high handed pro-Jewiah policy in Arab countries has created commotion and a feeling of resent ment in Islamic countries. The con- sequences of which cannot be over looked or minimized."
 Some indication of the difficult problem on the hands of the gov ernment became apparent when it was considered the whole Islamic world was observing keenly the growth of the trouble in Palestine, and that a mis step might provoke representations in the vast British Mohammedan dominions.
 Britain Knows Danger
 Some saw evidence the govern ment was thoroughly alive to this danger in the fact that forces all ready sent to the eastern Meditcr- ranean or standing by included Is warships, four battalions of troops, armored cars, artillery and many airplanes.
 Would Abandon Mandate
 Meanwhile the British press mas manifested growing dissatisfaction with the burden" of the Palestine mandate, which Britain shouldercd in 1922 from the League of Nations. The labor Daily Herald urged d searching inquiry into grievances of both sides of the Palestine contro- versy and an examination of the terms of the British mandate" call ing it problem long neglected ny preceding British governments.
 The Daily Mail a conservative, referred to that foolish mandate" |" and said the attempt to make na- tional home for Jews in Palestine where there were orly 75,00O Jews 10 75o,000 Moslems was a "stupll and mischievous enterprise"

 In the early part of it's flight from Los Angeles, the dirigible had flown approximately 70 miles an hour and later had reached 100 miles. The speed had been re- duced to 47 miles an hour at Gila- bend and reports indicated it was proceeding at still slower rate.
