sylvania railroad passenger train
which crashed into the rear of a
freight. He was scalded by steam,
Doctors waged a Is hour fight to
save his life.
ABERDEEN, Md, Jan. IS
Wrecking crews worked hastily to-
day to clear away debris left by i
double train wreck in which four
Pennsylvania trainmen were killed
and two were seriously scalded by
steam.
The wreck occurred last night
two miles south of here when. a
north bound passenger train crash
ed into the rear end of a freight
train moving onto a siding.
Hardly had the reverbcration of
the first collision been sienced
when a third train, a sOuthbound
passenger, plowed into the wreck
age of the freight, tossed onto the
southbound right of way by the
first crash.
Those killed were:
X. \. Klein, brakeman of the
freight train.
V. w. Stewart, freight train flag
man.
A. c. Terhune, engineer Of the
southbound passenger train.
7. j. Kavanaugh. fireman of the
southhound passenger train.
None of the passengers were ser

cut or bruised when tossed about in
the swaying coaches.

of Terhune to see a signal set
against him, because of heavy
fog.

New State Banking Plan
Held in St. Cloud, Feb. 9
Gov. Issues Order on Recommen.
dation of Game and Fish
Commissioners

An executive order providing
for an open season on muskrats in
Minnesota, to be effective from
March l to 10, was signed by Gov
ernor Christensen saturday upon
recommendation of George w. Nc
Cullough, state game and fish COM
missioner. The season will open
and close on noon of the respective
dates.
Before recommending the action,
CommissionerpMcCu llough made a
survey of the number of muskrats
in the state to decide whether con-
ditions warranted an open season.
He sent questionaires to all ward
ems and the replies showed SO per
cent to be in favor of an open sea-
son, 25 per cent in favor of a clos
ed season, and the remaining 25
per cent advocating a limited open
season.
The game and fish commissioner
stated that an open season early in
March would be better than later
in the year because the animals
are not breeding at that time and
their fur is of better quality. An
open season of a month was per-
mitted last year.

Central Bank to Supersede Bank
ing Department Will be Recon-
mended to Legislature

"A committee of central Minneso-
ia bankers, named at secret meet
ing held in st. Cloud, Feb. 9 which
launched a move to abolish the state
banking department and set up a
new system patterned after the
federal reserve, hopes to have a bill
embodying the proposal ready
within week for presentation in
the legislature.
The committee, composed of
George eastman, of st. Cloud; E..
w. Swenson, of Foley, and Harry
Lee, of Long Prairie, will work for
legislation to establish a new CO.
operative system of bank regula-
ton, with a central institution in
st. Paul, to take over all fune-
tions of the present banking de-
partment. Bankers at the confer
ence here charged that the present
department maintained policy of
favoring larger banks at the ex-
pense of the smaller.
The proposal is that all state
banks would be member of the
system and subscribe 5 per cent of
their capital toward it's working
funds. Reserves now in other in
stitutjons would be placed with the
central institution which would
have a board representing the 10
congressional districts and elected
by member banks.

Bishop Jos. Busch Issues
Regulations for Lent
Suggestions Were Read in All Ca
tholic Churches of St. Cloud
Diocese Sunday.

Bishop Jos. Busch, of st. Cloud
Diocese, has issued regulations for
the Lenten season. They were read
in all Catholic churches of the do
cese Sunday. They follow:
"The law of abstinence binds all
those over the age of seven. The
law of fasting applies to all who
are over twenty-one years of age
and have not yet entered upon
their sixtieth year, if they be not
exempted by reason of their health
or occupation.
"On Wednesdays and Fridays
and on Ember Saturday abstinence
is prescribed. On these days flesh
meat is not allowed, nor broth or
soup made from meat.
son fast days, those bound to
fast are allowed one full meal, at
or after midday. In addition, they
are allowed two light meals, one of
about eight ounces, at which but
ter, cheese, eggs or fish may be tax
en- in small quantities; the other of
two or three ounces, at which lit
tie butter may be taken.
Except on abstinence days, both
meat and fish are allowed at the
chief meal. ~ Il
"By a special Lndult granted to
the bishops of the United States
working people who cannot easily
observe the common law of the
church may eat msat. on all days Of
fast and abstinence throughout the
year, including the Lenten Season
except Fridays, Ash Wednesday
(, the Wednesday in Holy Week, Coco
Friday, the forenoon of Holy Sat
urday and Christmas Eve. This dis
pensation includes not only the in
dividual working man in whose
favor it is granted, but all the
members of his family as well.
'"The I.enten Fast, which doe
not include Sundays, ends at moor
on Holy Saturday.

complying with the precept O.

direct for cash and for highest
prices, is a faction in making Blue
Valley cream prices always consis-
tent, high prices at all Blue Valley
creameries.
To return a sterile, clean, bone
dry, empty cream can to the farmer
is considered most important SER
vice at Blue Valley. The farmers
wife is not only relieved of the
tiresome, disagreeable job of wash
ing big, clumsy, dirty cream can,
but clean, sterils can is most i'm
portant in helping to maintain the
high quality of the new sweet
cream placed in the can.
Ever since the Blue Valley Sweet
Cream Creamery was established
in Sank Centre, the rigid practice
has been followed of running the
empty cans through a big automa-
tic can washer in the shortest pos
sible time, especially for custom
ers who are waiting for their
cans. All cream checks are writ
ten promptly, and in full, for each
can delivered or shipped in, and
everything possible is done to give
customers prompt, courteous SER
vice.
GIN spite of the fact that every
year sees more and more sweet
cream marketed In Sank Centre, I"
says Mr.. Nye, "there is no danger
of over-production. There is al
ways a good market for the high
quality of butter to be made from
such cream, and the demand for
good dairy products is getting
stronger every year. While the
population is increasing every year,
the number of cows MIXED is &C
tually smaller than it was some
years ago. On the other hand, the
average production per cow is in
creasing, and that is a very good
sign, for it shows tina. producers are
keeping only their better cows and
feeding them better.
"In this connection, as the peo-
pie of Sank Centre know, Blue
Valley has been especially interest
ed in promoting the raising Of more
alfalfa, and we are ended gratified
to see that the alfalfa acreage is
increasing right along. There is nc
better hay for dairy cows. With
Sank Centre the largest sweet
cream market in the northwest,
with consistent, high prices fol
butterfat, with prompt and reliable
service, and with plenty of alfalfa
as a feed, the farmers in this ter.
ritory may well look for steady
profits from their good cows. We
are grateful for the cooperation
given US in bringing this about
and we pledge our continued efforts
to make dairying still more profit.
