Farming Interests Are for
the Flexible Schedule
Opposition of United States Senat-
ors Does Not Reflect Senti-
ment of Country

Chicago, Oct. Farming inter-
tests of the United States, far
from being opposed to the flexible
provisions Of the tariff law as Sem
ator Borah contends, are actually
strongly in favor of retention of
the measure, Stephen H. Love, pres
ident of the U. S. Beet Sugar As
ISOLATION, declared in a statement
issued here.
1.-The fight on the flexible provis-
ions of the tariff is not being en-
couraged or sponsored by the ma
tons farmers, nor is it battle be-
tween the agricultural West and
the industrial East" declared Mr..
Love. Agriculture can obtain just
as much protection and benefit
from the flexible tariff as can in
dustry. American agriculture is
seeking parity with industry. The
flexible tariff provisions offer such
an opportunity. The American
Farm Bureau Federation represent
ing more than 100000 farmers has
officially endorsed the flexible pro-
visions of the tariff as offering an
effective means of improving the
economic condition of the nations
agriculturists.
eff actual results of the flexible
tariff in its seven years of existence
are considered, the farm population
should favor it. Agriculture has
had at least an even break with in
dustry in upward tariff revisions
under the flexible arrangement and
an actual check-up would undoubt-
eddy show that more revisions fav-
oring agriculture have been made
by the Tariff Commission than have
been accorded industry.
There are complaints that. the
Tariff Commission is not function
ing properly and that the delay in
its decisions constitutes a serious
defect. But other government bod
les are constantly being attacked
in this fashion. The Federal Farm
Board is the most recent example
of this tendency to find fault even

souring Doesn't Increase Butterfat

SOuring Doesn't Increase Butterfat
The age-old principle of evapora-
ton serves to clear up the long
misunderstood idea that souring
cream increases the test, according
to the Blue Valley Creamery In
stitute. A recent experiment by
Prof. o. F. Hunziker, of the Blue
Valley Research Laboratories
shows that the evaporation OF
moisture from the cream, held sew
eral weeks and allowed to become,
sour, was the only factor causing
an increase in the test, and this
gain was entirely Offset by the loss
in weight. Without evaporation
there cannot be, nor was there,
any increase in the fat test. With
or without evaporation, there was
no increase in the amount of but
terfat in the cream.
It was found that increase in the
fat weeks 1.763 lbs. had evaporated.
leaving 1872 lbs. of sour cream. At
the start the cream tested 1876 per

fat. At the start the 20 lbs. of
sweet cream testing 1856 per cent
actually contained II lbs. Of but
terfat. At the end, in the 1872 lbs.
of cream testing AZ per cent, the
amount of fat was still II lbs, I'M

IN. W. BELL TEL. CO.
| PLANS EXPANSION
Program Calls for An Expen-
diture of $4,000 in Sank
Centre Soon
NEW OFFICE BUILDING
Manual Phones Will Be In
stalled if Plans Are Car
ried Out

Acting on the suggestion OF g
number of telephone subscribers in
Sank Centre, representatives of the
Northwestern Bell Telephone Com.
pany met with the directors of the
Community Club Monday after.
noon of this week to discuss pro
posed plans to further improve the
telephone service to Sank Centre
subscribers.
The plans include a change from
magnetic to common battery equip.
ment and the erection of a new
telephone building in this city.
The plans for improved service
presented by the Telephone Com
pany met with general approval OF
the directors, who expressed them.
selves as anxious to see these i'm.
provements made.
Representing the Telephone com
pany in addition to Robert Schwa
len, local manager, were J. P. Ma
son, commercial manager, of Min
neapolis and L. H. Dahl, district
manager for this part of the state
from st. Cloud.
This program will involve an ex.
penditure of about $4,000 and is
an indication of the, faith the com.
pany has in the growth Of Saul,
Centre, according to Manager Rob
ert Schwalen.
Common battery telephone ser.
vice would provide the people OF
Sank Centre with the same kind OF
service as ST. Cloud and Alexan
dria, equipment throughout of the
most improved type, and a tele
phone system which would be the
most economical as the city contin
ues to grow.
The improved telephone SYSTEM
will mean that each subscriber in
the Sank Centre exchange will re
ceive a new telephone of the com.
mon battery type. When common
battery service is placed in effect
each subscriber will be able TO sig
nal the operator merely by lifting
the receiver from the hook. When
the conversation is completed il
will be necessary only to hang II
the receiver to disconnect. the line
in the central office.
In addition to the new building
and common battery telephones
the program of the Telephone Com
pany also provides for the installa
ton of a new switchboard of tie
common battery type and of great.
er capacity than the present mag,
neto switchboard being used here
This new switchboard will take
care of further growth anticipated
by telephone engineers as fsaul
Centre continues to develop. In
1911 543 telephones were connected
to the Sank Centre central office
The exchange today has $50 tele
phones, an increase of 60 per cent
While there were 225 telephones
within the city limits in 1911 the,e
are now 525 telephones, an in
crease in city telephones of 1873 pei
cent.
It has been estimated that com
pletion of the program outlined by
the Telephone company will re
quire from a year To- eighteen
months.

absorb the teachings and fine
points" in the dairy school, the in

Board Head Declares
MAKES POSITION CLEAR
Discussion in Line With Re-
quests of Farmers of the
Northwest

Chairman Legge OF the federal
farm board informed the senata
agriculture committee yesterday
that when losses occur from con-
Quoting Sterilization operations in
extraordinary circumstances they
will be borne by the 100000, 900
farm relief revolving fund.
This information was contained
in letter to Senator McNary of
Oregon, chairman of the committee
in which the board sought to make
its position clear on the stabiliza-
ton question because Legge said
testimony before the committee
last week appeared to have left
some confusion.
The board chairman said that
sterilization was considered by him
to lend itself to normal as well as
extraordinary operations. but add
ed the attempt of board members
to draw this distinction before the
committee may not have been made
plain because of the multitude of
questions propounded in relation to
this phase of farm relief.
1.-THE process of sterilization As
We see it," Legg's letter said, "di-
vides itself into two rather distinct
classes. The first class is what
might be called normal operations,
involved in almost everything the
board is doing.
1.-THE second form of sterilization,
might he termed extraordinary or
emergency operations, whereby, be-
cause of large surplus of any
commodity, the operation would
consist Of buying and taking off the
market some considerable part Of
the tonnage 50 as to relieve the
pressure, aad carrying the prod';ct
until some future date in the hops
that there would be more favor
able opportunity of disposine of il.
This second, or emergency,
class of operation would, Of course.
be carried out strictly under the
provisions Of the agricultural mar
keting act with money advanced by
the board and if the final result of
such operation shows loss or de-
felt, such loss will be borne by
the revolving fund which was pro-
vided by the act"
Decision in Line With Northwest
REQUEST
The decision of the federal farm
board to purchase wheat to relieve
market pressure is in line with
what the northwest has asked, and
shown disposition on the part of
federal authorities to meet the
problem this territory faces. NJ j.
Holmberg, Minnesota commissioner
of agriculture said
1.-THE fact that the federal beard
fayors this plan certainly is heart
ening and is the creates encour-
agement we have had for some
time" Mr.. Holmberg said. ct
should serve as warning to
European buyers that the fact that
there is surplus of wheat in the
northwest will not mean that they
will be able to buy at distress
prices"
Possibility for real help to the
northwest farmer is seen as a re-
suit Of the actions of the federal
board by M. w. Thatcher, general
manager of the Farmers Union
Terminal association of st. Paul.

Ramsay MacD onald's
Religious Faith Strong
British Premier Does Not Accept
SOcialistic Greed Relative to =
Christianity

That to Ramsay Macdonald,
Premier of Great Britain now on
visit to the United States, religion
is "a terrific stimulus forcing him
along the path to peace and social
justice" is the statement of p. ~.
Wilson, a friend of the Labor Prime
Minister, expressed in an article in
current issue of Christian Her
aid, national Observation-Disclosures
weekly magazine.
I'm one form or another" Mrs
Wilson declares, religion is the
substance of all MacDonald's ap-
peals and the eloquence of all his
perorations." The writer character
ICES Macdonald as "the Long fel-
low Of politics. He has all OF
Longfellow's Indifference to the
phrases of the Medieval Church"
Wilson declares, and he also has
Longfellow's delight in the music
and the architecture and the me.
mories of the Medieval Church
He cannot visit a valley without
talking about the Abbey which the
monks there built. In faith ne is
no Catholic, but, like Sir Walter
Scott in his novels, Macdonald sees
the glory of old gray stone, fretted
vault, and gorgeous window. De-
stroy all this? What Macdonald dc.
sires is that more people shall be
able to enjoy it."
The article, entitled Ramsay
Macdonald, Man of Faith" states
that the Premier grew up among
British Soc ialists who were mot
against the chul ches."
The Socialist with which Mac
Donald is 4. associated, the writer
points out, does not say that Chris
tianity has failed" What he de
clares is that Christianity has never
been tried. So far from asking that
the churches should be destroyed
he demands that churches shall
do their duty" Macdonald does no.
think that-as Lenin and Trotsky
would put it-religion is merely q
narcotic Of the mind, administered
by rulers to their people to keep
them quiet"
Mr.. Wilson also points out that
for twelve years, it was the High
lands of Scotland that held Mac.
Donald in their grip, and this
meant that he was shut off abso-
lutely from the soul-destroying dis
fractions of the great cities. His
ear was attuned and his eye was
accustomed, not to the clatter OF
traffic and glare of sky signs, but
to the music of storm, and the pan
Drama of rain and snow and shine
And besides being a truly religious
man himself, he found in Margaret
Ethel Gladstone, his wife, a truly
religious woman. After he had
married her all danger that Mac.
Donald's life would become secular
was at an end"
THE MacDonalds have not beer
dogmatists," the writer declares
ION the contrary, the Prime Minis
ter has written of his wife that the
final form of her religion was sim.
pie purity of spirit and trust in
God. But to the end she asserted
my Socialism greve entirely out OF
my religion" and this was the
truth. Under the Russian Soviet, 9
Militant Communism has stripped
the Cathedrals of their treasures
prosecuted the clergy, and even for
hidden little children to be laugh,
to say grace at meal times. OF this
irreligious impulse, there has never
been trace in Macdonald"

Mccoy, manager of the department,
is an experienced radio man and
features exceptional service to ous-

Sturm says that the outlook for
the coming fall and winter is very
promising due to the fact that
great many people will trade in their
old battery sets for the more new
