Brown County Fur Farm
Ships Car Load Of Mink
$50 of the Dark Northern Variety
and Three Pair Silver Fox
to Sweden

To be able to fill an order for 800
mink and three pair of silver fox
to be sent to foreign country is
something that but few fur farms
in the state of Minnesota can claim
credit for doing, says the Comfrey
Times. However, The Comfrey Fur
Farm, Kruger Bros, proprietors,
and Walter E. Krueger, manager,
accomplished this remarkable feat
when they filled an order calling
for the above number of animals,
to be shipped to Sweden. 1t was
one of the largest orders for mink
ever filled by a Minnesota firm.
The mink and fox, which were
placed in specially constructed
crates for their long journey, COM
'pletely filled baggage car, and
suggested the manner in which the
demand for fur-bearing animals is
growing the world over.
It is understood that The Com
frey Fur Farm will probably fill
another order for mink almost as
large as the order above mention
ed the latter part of this month.
Y The management is also adding
about fifty more mink pens to the
farm this fall. They now have be-
tween $50 and 500 pens for the
raising of mink. The fox guard or
enclosure is being enlarged to al
most double its former size so that
the raising and farming of fox can
be carried on more extensively.

University Dedicates

Formally Opened

, Tribute to a great Minnesotan,
ruled the destinies of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, from 1885 to 1911,
was paid last week when the huge
auditorium on the university cam
pus was dedicated in his honor as
the Cyrus Northrop Memorial Aud
itorium.
The Rev. Russell Henry Stofford,
pastor of the famous Old South
Church, in Boston, delivered the
dedicatory address and expressed
wonder that DR.. Northrop could
have been severed, even by death,
from the institution he so long
dominated.
ut seems strange to us who knew
him that the University of Mime
sofa can go on without President
Northrop, and that to the current
generation of it's students and most
of it's present faculty he is little
more than a name" said the Rev.
Mr.. Stafford. "For it seemed thru
many years as if he himself were

he stood to this institution in the
relation of the king to the British
commonwealth of nations, as the
symbol in which it's meaning was
incarnate, the focus and rallying

bers. And in vital sense, though
his personality must grow dim to
the imagination as it reeds farth-
er into the past, he will never cease
to be creative factor in the con-

that is good and true"

FIRST BREAK IN PRESIDENT HOOVER'S
CABINET

The death of John w. Good, Secretary of War,
was the first break in the cabinet organized by Pres
ident Hoover.
Mr.. Good entered Washington hospital five days
before his death which occurred Monday evening, to
undergo an operation for appendicitis. He was born
at Cedar Rapids Iowa, 63 years ago. After his adj
mission to the bar he began the practice of law in
his native city. He served as member of Congress
from the Hawkeye state for II years making con-
spicuous record His long legislative experience emf
nently fitted him for the high post to which he was
assigned by Mr. Hoover. AS chairman of the House
appropriations committee he had much to do with
the formulation of the appropriations for the War
department. AS Congressman he was strong adj
vocate of the budget system for the carrying of
the nations business.
When Uncle Sam entered the World War in 1917
Good emphasized his friendship for the enlisted
man. He sponsored the move to increase the pri-
Yates pay from $3.50 to $4,000 per month. In dis
cussing this measure in the House he said:
Let not make this rich mans and
poor mans fight There has been no give and
take, it has been all 'take'-Take all from the
common soldiers of the United States.
The task of caring for the nations waterways
comes under the supervision of the War Department
Mr.. Good in close accord with President Hoov7
ers plan for the extensive extension of the inland
waterways, including the st. Lawrence Great Lakes
project.
His death is severe loss to the nation

Many Homes Overheated,
Say Medical Experts
Practical Suggestions Are Made
for the Economical Handling
of Fuel

st. Paul, Nov. 20 1.-The avoidance
of overheating is one thing of out
standing Importance in connection
with good ventilation" states the
bulletin issued today by the Min
nesota State Medical Association.
Because overheating is so uni
versal and because it is such men
ace to good air too much cannot
be said about the positive control
of artificial heat. A few simple
rules will be given which will help
the householder, in particular, to
operate the heating plant for good
ventilation.
when the room temperature is
nearly high enough the heat should
be cut off. This can be done by
turning the radiators off by the
hand valve from the room or by a
valve in the furnace or boiler room
which can be operated by hand.
But better than this is modern,
electrically operated thermostat
heat regulator, which controls the
heat according to the varying out
door conditions of temperature and
wind forces. Such a system will
give the most satisfactory heat
control.
1.-THE thermostat should be set as
low as is consistent with the COM
fort of the room occupants. never
higher than SO degrees. Usually
the room temperature will vary
from time to time one or two de-
grees higher or lower than that for
which the thermostat is set. In
variably the mistake is made of
setting the thermostat too high.
Some companies advise 70 degrees.
This is too high.
Many engineers give no heed to
outside temperature They fire as
heavily on mild days as on cold
days. The less firing done on a
mild day the better. Let the fire
smolder without shaking it down.
"A high fire is economical in run
ming a furnace. Shake the aches
gently morning and night in ordin-
airy weather and in mild weather
once a day or once every other day.
Sometimes once or twice a week is
sufficient.
Never shake the ashes until live

NEW SENATORIAL GROUP FORMED

There time in American history when the
United States Senate was looked up to high
type body of statesmen who had the country's best
interests at heart.
The personnel of the present body isn't any credit
to the electorate of the country. 1t is rather the
result of the political misit-the primary election
law.
Early in April President Hoover assembled the
Congress for the purpose of revising tariff schedules
particularly those affecting agriculture
Most of the schedules of the Hawley bill which
passed the House. although it raised the agricultural
schedules, not acceptable because of the very
decided increase to the schedules of many of the
ticles the farmer has to buy.
The Senate with solemn dignity began to re-
write the bill when it to them The Demo-
cratic senators formed coalation with the progress
sve republicans and have controlled the Senate since
This move good politics from Democratic
standpoint but it has failed in its purpose of
barassing the administration of President Hoover.
Week after week passed and not single sched-
was the taking out of the existing law the flexible
feature which empowers the President to raise
lower the tariff on any given commodity when neces-
sity is Shown. The maximum permitted in either
case is so per cent of the existing tariff.
A few schedules have been adopted in the past
few weeks but at the rate they are going it will be
many months before the reformers have bill
whipped in shape to be sent back to the House for
concurrence
In the meantime Agriculture is not getting any
relief
Within the past two weeks group of "a younger
neutrality-suspicious. who have been elected % the
Senate within few years, have taken the bit in
their leeIn III an honest force making
of tariff bill.
The coaation, particularly the Democratic mem
bers are astounded at the temerity of the younger
senator's"
The purpose of the group is to force from
the leadership the industrial the East
1t is more than likely Senator McNarry, of Oregon,
long recognized real friend of the farmer will be
the leader. His associates are all Senator'S from
the Middle West West.
Of course, both of the Senators from Minnesota
are tied up with the coalaton group
The Herald predicts Senator Tom Schall will have
a mighty hard time explaining his friendship for
Agriculture when he comes before the voters of
Minnesota for election next year
The new group progressive heart and soul
with desire to the program of President Hoover
carried out If Senator Borah and other members
of the coalaton group who profess to be Republicans
are sincere in their desire for tariff legislation which
will really benefit agriculture they will join with the
new senator's and have workable tariff bill ready
for the regular session of Congress which

THANKSGIVING DAY

The first Thanksgiving Day observed in America
was that proclaimed by Governor Bradford of Ply
mouth colony in 1921 the year following the landing
of the Pilgrims. During colonial days similar OBJ
servances were held various occasions
President Washington by proclamation set No
vember 26, 17S9 day of general thanksgiving but
during the early history of the Republic such OBJ
servances irregular and the several states gen.
orally set their own dates of holding them.
1t not until 1864, under President Loncolns
that the last Thursday in November settled up
on as Thanksgiving Day throughout the United
States.
The fixing of this date is said to have been
largely due to the efforts of Mrs Sarah j. Hale,
American author, who began agitating for uniform
annual date about 1S40 Each year she wrote to all
state governors asking that they name the last
Thursday in November, and gradually they fell in
with her idea
On the Pilgrims first Thanksgiving Day wild
turkey formed the chief constituent of the feast
since turkey has been inseparably associated
with the days observance.

NATIONS BUSINESS ENGINEER WORKING
FOR PRACTICAL PROSPERITY

The nations greatest business engineer, Presi-
dent Hoover, has started a series of parleys with
various business groups labor leaders and agricul-
turists to speed up industry and keep prosperity.
The President wisely takes the stand that the
stupendous stock market gambling of recent months
which has made and wiped out billions of paper
profits has not affected the business stability of
nation.
The first conference was held Tuesday when the
representative of leading trunk line railroads
called to Washington for conference at the White
House. Late Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Hoover met
with the advisory council of the Federal Reserve
Banks to discuss credit and business conditions As
result of this meeting it improbable that
the rediScount would reduced outside of the
gambling area-New York City.
Substantial business should be penalized be-
cause of the gambling frenzy of Wall Street.
In discussing the Presidents prosperity plan,
Rudolph Lee, the Minneapolis Journals very able
special Washington representative said in part in
his letter appearing in Tuesday evenings Journal:
A White House attache summed up the situ-
atom by saying that the several billions of decline
in the stock market did not in any way reflect
the business strength of industry although it
had the possibility of affecting it psychologically
Psychology is an agency that work both
ways. The railroads of the country, for instance,
are perhaps more prosperous than at any time
since the The business of the country de-
mands expansion of transportation facilities and
service. Now is the time for railroads to plan
their building expansion program. In new con-
struction and orders for extra equipment there
are tremendous possibilities for labor employ
ment of permanent character.
The same is true OF the utility concerns and of
manufacturing in general. There is need for the
extra service both can give through added
growth and development. Bankers being
asked to the conferences and representatives of
the federal reserve system because credit plays a
stellar role in every program of business expan-
sion. Agriculture is vitality interested also be-
cause the new and increased market is looking
forward, for its products of food is dependent
upon general industrial development keeping
pace with national demands.
All the departments of the government are to
cooperate in this forward looking effort The
departments of commerce, labor and agriculture
are to be organized to render what service they
and the newly organized farm board, deal
ing directly with the farmer interests of the
nation is expected to play an increasingly inn
portant part.
1t is understood government building pro-
gram involving many hundreds of millions of
dollars of construction in different parts of the
country is under consideration indicating the
faith of the administration in the fundamental
business strength of the country.
In line with the governments part in the pro-
gram, Secretary Mellon announced he will ask
congress next month to increase the buildings
