they expect an attack of hay-fever.
Cold and rainy weather may delay
the Towering of spring and sum-
mer grasses and the date of an at
tack of hay fever caused from
these cannot be accurately foretold.
"Ragweed pollen protein occurs
in the milk of cows which have eat
en- ragweed tops some hours earlier.
If susceptible persons drink such
milk typical hay-fever attacks will
follow within one-half hour. Cows
do not generally feed on ragweed
but will eat it occasionally with
other foods.
"By cutting all weeds in vacant
lots, the city dweller will be great
ly protected. City-dwellers suscep-
tible to the pollen Of ragweed
would do well to avoid trips into
the country especially along those
narrow by-ways where the tall
giant ragweeds grow.

from horses and the fur of cats and
dogs will produce the same symp-
tons in certain persons.
Another method of escape from
this distressing malady is the MAX

exact causative agent Chat is the
kind of plant that produces hay

which treatments with such pollen

better plan is to take course of
preventive treatment with the same
extracts preceding the anticipated
attack. This Is more effective than
treatment taken during the course
of the disease.

being Catholic and not having a
letter from the priest in his home,
this would be impossible. But, he
said, he found that most of things
he was told were impossible to do,
were easy enough when one is de-
termined to do them So he got a
letter from the American College,
took it to the Pope's secretary and
was given an audience.
He went to the Vatican on the
day named and easily passed the
formidable appearing Swiss guards
and was met by a servant of the
Pope, dressed all in red and shown
into room about four times as
large as the Alexandria Hotel
dining room. The room was dec
Grated in red, with red curtains
over the doors and beautifully fur
nished and with many fine paint
ings. About $50 people were there
to have an audience with the Pope
that morning, seated all around the
room. An attendant came in the
room and all there stood up. Then
group of six-foot Swiss guards
marched in and three men follow
ed them, two in red robes and one
in white, with white skull cap.
This was the Pope. He walked
around the room and all knelt and
kissed the ring of his office as he
passed.
Rev. Lewis said that he had
gone there out of curiosity to see
one of the sights of Europe. but
in the reverent spirit too, as one
should be in meeting the head of a
great religious body. He was deep
ly impressed by the audience. The
pope is man of striking person
atty and his observation of his
personality was that he must be a
man of sterling courage and worth.
That showed in his face In early
life he was a great mountain
climber, Rev. Lewis had heard, and
he did not doubt it after seeing
him. The pope seemed to enjoy
giving the audience; he seemed
glad to give those people the high
est moment in their lives. AS such
audiences are held every day, he
seemed glad to do it. Here truly,
he thought, was man worthy of
his high position. After he had
gone around the room he went to
the center and gave the benediction
and his blessing on all those pres

Old Connecticut House

Built in 1859 by Henry Whitfield
and a small group of his followers
who settled in what is now Gull
ford, Conn.,, the. "Old Stone House"
stands today as monument of
substantial construction.
It's foundation was laid only 10
years after the Pilgrims landed in
Plymouth. Its walls are two feet
thick. Its main chimney is 16 feet
across and is built into the wall
itself. The fireplace inside was SO
large that team of horses drove
through the front door, since al
tered and made smaller, and out
the rear, dragging huge legs behind
them which, when in position,
were rolled into the fire with crow
bars. Mr.. Whitfield, according to
the town records, used 40 cords of
wood each winter.

regular habit with the children to
to be on the alert in crossing or

fares.
School officers can aid in pro-
noting safety by providing ample
Fairgrounds so that children do not
need to go into the street or high

Parents and teachers should al.
so warn children against such dan
gerous practices as riding or
jumping on or into vehicles with.
out the consent of the driver, hitch
ing bicycles or sleds behind moving
vehicles, and begging rides from
strangers. The traffic law prohib-
its all three of these practices. This
section of the law was adopted
partly to relieve motorists from
these nuisances but mainly for the
protection of the children. Those
who indulge in these practices take
serious risks, and parents and
teachers should do everything pos
sible to prevent children from be-
ing killed or injured by doing these

The use of older boys to act as
traffic patrolmen to direct children
in crossing streets and highways
near the schools is advocated by
Mr.. Brown. The police boys, how
ever, should not be placed in dan
gerous positions.

Wa.hington's Cherry Trees

Mrs. Taft shortly after going into
the White House ordered 80
japanese cherry trees to be sent to
Washington and planted. She had
seen and admired these trees while
travelling in the Fast. A Japanese
resident of New York made her a
gift of 1900 of these trees. When
they reached America they con-
tanned an insect that was injurious
to American plants. For that rea-
son they were thrown overheard.
The city of Tokyo then gave the
United States 5000 of these trees.
The water side around the Speed
way and the Tidal basin in Wash
ington have these trees in blossom
during the early spring.

100 FARMS TAKEN
OVER BY THESTA
Rural Credit Bureau Sold 142
Forest and Tracts During
the Past Year
MADE $l8,3Ss PROFIT
Additional Tracts in Northern
and Western Portions of
State Will Be Added

Out of 1,101 Minnesota farms ac-
quired under foreclosure by the
Minnesota Rural Credit Bureau,
142 have been sold, according to a
statement by the bureau members
yesterday. The farms sold have
Melted a profit of 18,389.50, over
their cost to the state in loan prin-
cipal, interest and back taxes paid.
Bureau members say their policy
is to make loans slowly and con-
servatively, but to keep up a vol
ume of loans that will insure prof
it's to the state from operation,
and thus wipe out any possible loss
es from the remaining $50 tracts
still held as real estate" and 455
others in process for foreclosure. :
IF the present policy is followed
for another five years we should
be cleaned up in such a way that
the state will suffer no loss" H. H.
Flowers, secretary of the bureau
said. "The state did not embark
in this business to make profit,
but to protect its people from high
interest rates. But for the necess-
ity of making up losses due to de-
faults, we could be lending money
today at AZ per cent. We have a
surplus now of $950,223 which is
growing at the rate of $4,000 to
$4,000 month, and which will be
ample to care for possible. losses
from the land we have taken over"
Members of the interim commit
tee on local taxation, continued for
two years by the Minnesota house,
will make short trip with men,
bers of the bureau, beginning Sept.
81. The two bodies will visit some
of the farms asquired by the state.
The committee is studying the eff
feet of the rural credit law on tax
alton. Land held by the bureau
for the state is not taxable, and the
last legislature failed to pass bill
that would permit the bureau to
pay local school taxes on it. Re
moval of the land from tax rolls
has put heavy burden on other
land owners in districts where
there is much of the state owned
land.
Speaker John A. Johnson, of
Preston, chairman of the commit
tee, said yesterday the suggestion
to abolish the rural credit system
is not seriously made in the COM
mittee. It's effect on local taxation
is being studied, however. The
tour will take the two bodies to
Wadena Sept. 81, to Detroit Lakes
Sept. %, to Crookston Sept. %, and
then to Thief River Falls.
The state bureau, when it ac-
quires title to a farm tract by fore
closure, pays up all the back taxes,
and in this way has paid $143, 689.25
in taxes. The taxes have been
charged up to each tract and are
made up when it is sold.
The bureaus statement shows
that the 142 farms sold, with an
acreage of 1921 acres, have cost
the state an average of $4,000 an
acre. There were SO farms sold at
total gain of $31, 3O2.5S, while 26
were sold for just what they had
cost. The total sales amounting
to $780,, 100.
The bureau still carries as "real
estate" 959 farms, totaling 1913, 447
acres and representing an invest
ment of $6,525, 369. 1t also has 455
farms under foreclosure, totaling
Ss,306 acres and costing $2,845,877.

There Will Be No Pheasant
Shooting This Season
Attorney General Rules Hunters
Must Not Hunt These Birds
This Year

AhO SdIiC anu
has received requests and petitions
from many parts of the State ask
ing that the ringneck pheasant sea-
son be opened for limited numb
er of days. Most of these requests
came from persons laboring under
the impression that the Governor
could declare an open season under
Section 5640 Mason's Minnesota
Statutes 1919, which is as follows:
Additional protection-Gov-
ernor's orders-Whenever the
Governor, after investigation
by the Commissioner, finds
that any species of wild ami
mails, as defined herein, for
which an open season is pro-
vided, is in danger of extinc-
ton, or when necessary for
the proper protection of pro-
pagating any immature wild
animals, he may by an order
provide protection for such
species, additional to that pro-
v1ded by law, and to that end,
may prescribe in what man
ner, in what number, in what
places and at what times the
same may be taken"
In an opinion handed down by
the Attorney General he states
that this law, referred to above as
Section $40, applies to the case
wherein the Commissioner, after
due investigation, finds that addi-
tional protection must be provided
in order that any species of wild
game are in danger of depletion
and cannot be in any way associat-
ed with an order calling for the
opening of season on any particu-
lar species of wild animsl or game
birds for which an open season has
not been provided for by law.
In appealing to the Attorney
General the Commissioner of Game
and Fish stressed the fact that an
open season on male ringneck
pheasants for limited number of
days this year would not only meet
with popular approval, but that
pheasants exist sufficient in num-
bers to warrant an open season
thereon.
This matter was also discussed
with Governor Theodore Christian
son who voiced his opinion as be-
ing in favor of granting such an
order, should the Attorney General
find that in accordance with the
law, it would be proper for him to
do so, having in mind, of course,
that the Game and Fish Commits
sioner had recommended in ac-
cordance with his findings, that it
would not unduly deplete our stock
of ringneck pheasants. The At
torney General rendered his opin.
ion after having made an exhaus-
tive study of the laws pertaining to
the propagation and protection of
wild animals and game birds.
Therefore, our inability to grant
the wishes of the people in this par
ticular case rests entirely upon the
lack of legislation. We wish to
explain that bills were presented
to the Game and Fish Committees
in the Legislature, but, like many
other pieces of legislation proposed
by the department and persons in
terested in the welfare of our wild
life, it was not enacted into law
