MINNESOTA "U" TO BE
ON FOUR QUARTER PLAN

The University of Minnesota is
gradually to be placed on complete
four-quarter basis, so that there will
be no official or technical difference
between the summer quarter and the
other three quarters of the year.
This decision has been reached by the
administrative committee with the
approval and recommendation of the
President, L. d. Coffman.
This plan enables employment OF
teachers who can choose any of the
four quarters as the period of alb
sense instead of employing them
primarily for the fall, winter and
spring quarters and then making
separate arrangements with those
who teach during the summer.
The School of Medicine is already
on this basis so that the students may
attend any of the three quarters with
out irregularity. 1t is thought to be
more convenient to students who wish
to stay out at periods of the year
other than the summer, and to others
who prefer to work continuously
without long vacations.

Over 400 Feast on
Champion Baby Beef
State Fair President Mallard
Says Livestock Shows
Don't Hurt Fairs

Choice cuts of roast for ATS plates
from the champion baby beef reared
by Carl Sierk, Lake Wilson, and pur-
chased by the Southwestern Mime
sofa Livestock Breeders association
at the South st. Paul show, furnished
meat for a barbecue banquet at
Sleepy Eye last Wednesday, which
was attended by livestock breeders,
farmers, All Club workers and bust
ness men from six of the surround
ing counties.
Delegates were in attendance from
Murray, Renville, Redwood, Cotton
wood, Watonwan and Brown counties.
Musical numbers were volunteered
by the Renville delegation.
w. H. Peters, University Farm, st.
Paul, the main speaker Of the eve
ming, complimented the association
on the slogan Better Livestock on
Every Farm"
"Far more reaching than this slog-
an would indicate is the efforts of this
association and the folks in south
western Minnesota cooperating with
it, stated Mr.. Peters. He also de-
clared that the association was doing
a great service by moulding charact-
er of the younger people in the COM
munities.
A help instead Of a detriment to
fairs are livestock shows in the opin-
ion of F. E. Mallard,s Candy, presi-
dent of the Minnesota State Fair.

practical work will be year from

BAN WINTER FISHING ON
LAKES NEAR MANKATO

Winter fishing of any type, either
angling or spearing, will not be per-
mitted on Duck lake, Lake Charles
Lake Francis or Lake jefferson, near
Mankato this winter, according to Of
fetal announcement from the state
game and fish department.
Fearing a decline in the fish pop
ulation Of these lakes, measures were
taken as a means of safeguarding
summer angling.
Bingham and Cottonwood lakes in
Cottonwood county and Fish lake in
Cottonwood and Jackson counties will
be closed to use of fishhouses and
spearing, but angling will be permit
ted.

DAM ON FREEBORN LAKE
WRECKED BY DYNAMITERS

Unknown dynamiters wrecked the
heavy concrete dam at the end of
Freedom lake, near Albert Lea, re-
Gently. The only clue left are several
footprints in the snow nearby.
The explosion was the third set off
since the county built the dam some
years ago to raise the water level of
the lake. At that time land owners
brought suit to prevent construction
of the dam, but the county won the
case. 1t was carried to the supreme
court, which upheld the lower court.
Shortly afterward, night explosion
wrecked the dam. The county repair
ed the structure and a short time lat
er it was again blown up. Three
years ago the county rebuilt the dam,
stronger than before.

RECOVERING AFTER BEING
BITTEN BY A TARANTULA

Frank Harris of Houston is recov-
ering from serious wound inflicted
when he was bitten by a tarantula
while at work in store. The wound
swelled alarmingly and was very
painful, but Mr.. Harris responded to
first aid treatment.
The tarantula is venomous spider
occasionally found in bananas and
other fruit shipped from tropical
climates. It's bite is popularity sup
posed to be fatal and in Italy there
is belief that unless the victim
dances three hours continuously to
special music he will be subject for
life to tarantism, a melancholy ac-
companied by an uncomfortable de-
sire to dance.

TOURIST ADVERTISING
BRINGS MANY INQUIRIES

During 1880 tourists numbering
1,461,8 from other states visited
Minnesota and spent SIC, 708, 29O, &C
cording to the annual report of H.
C. Hotaling, secretary of the Ten
Thousand Lakes-Greater Minnesota
association.
The report shows there was an in
crease in the number Of persons seek
ing farms in Minnesota than there
were in 1929, although the actual
farm sales were less. In the north
ern counties a large number of sales
was reported but the acreage was
comparatively small.
Conducting advertising in publica-
tions with a combined circulation of
16,00O,000 as an inducement to at
tract farmers and tourists here, 15,-
TIA persons wrote concerning vaca-
tions and 5,614 persons were interest
ed in Minnesota farms. In 1929,
5000 asked about farm lands, and
inquiries concerning vacations total
ed 10,535.
Financial conditions caused many
to change their vacation plans and
proposed farm purchases is Mr.. Ho-
taling's belief, though he thinks that
when conditions improve Minnesota
will experience greatly enlarged
tourist business and farm sales.
Farm sales as reported this year
average about 10 per county. I'm
doubtedly many were sold from one
farmer to another which are not in
cluded in this report.

A New Test of Office.
CNew York World)

The Attorney General has embarked an in- teresting policy in announcing that he intends to appoint only drys drys by practice and by conVlc- tion to the posts of United States Attorney, As sistant United States Attorney and United states Marshal It will be very interesting policy It has very interesting qualifications. For unless we are greatly mistaken this is the first time the GOV ernment has ever laid down the rule that officials must not only obey all the laws and enforce all the laws but must specifically believe as well in the wisdom of one of the laws. Can any one deny after reading Attorney General Mtchelrs letter that the Eighteenth Amendment occupies a uniquely prlVl- legged position? Has it ever happened before that approval of a particular law made the test of office under the Government Of the United StatesE
 Let us be perfectly plain about this thing. When the Attorney General says that officials charged with enforcement of prohibition ought not them selves to drink to patronize bootleggers directly or indirectly he is quite right. It is disgusting spectacle to officials prosecuting and sentenc-
 ing booteggers if they themselves drink and no scrupulous man. whatever he may think of the law would enforce a law he did not himself ob- serve Had the Attorney General taken this ground his position would have been impregnable. But when he goes further and lays down the rule that prosecuting officials must believe in Prohibition he commits himself to a dogma which is demonstrably absurd and indefensible.
 He points out in his letter that out of some 80 GOO criminal cases begun in the Federal courts last year, more than half were cases under the National Prohibition Act What about the other half? Some of them were cases under the Tariff Act, some were cases under the revenue laws some were cases under the antitrust laws Would Mir Mitchell maintain that a candidate for the office of prosecutor must believe in the Fordney- McCumber tariff, the present Income-Tax Law and the Sherman Act in order to qualify? To set up the test of belief in a particular law is to make that law privileged and to abridge the ancient right of American citizens to freedom of conscience

CENSUS FIGURES.

The preliminary census returns, as given out by Gov. Parks give Juneau first place among Alaska towns in spite of the numerous authorities that have placed it second to Ketchkan They give Juneau 40l6 and Ketchikan 378O.
 If the near suburban population is included, Ju- ncaus lead increases. Give Ketchikan Charcoal Point with her 372 Nickeyville 92 View Cove 6, and Wacker City ST. and we have total of 4307 Give Juneau Douglas 591, Treadwell 16 Thane 68 Alaska Juneau Boarding House 94 and Glacier Highway 2S9, and we have total Of 5074
 comparison of the north end of the First Dvi- sion with that of the south end shows larger pre- ponderance of population in this end. The Record ing Districts of Juneau Petersburg Sitka and Skag- way have a total population of II 437 and those of Ketchikan Wrangell and Hyder have 7,7O1.
 However the gain in the last ten years has been larger in the south end of the Division than that of the north end Ketchikan made growth of 1922 against one of 958 in Juneau The Ketchikan Recording District gained 7l5 and the Juneau dis trict advanced 355 The northern districts are enum- erated in the preceding paragraph gained 569 and those in the southern end increased 1167 The Sitka Recording District was the only one to decrease. Its loss 365.
 While the growth in the First Division has not been as large as it was hoped the census would show it was an advance. Ten per cent. gain in ten years is better than no growth but in the devel- oping period of Washington Territory the growth was more than double that percentage each year. Tn 1870 Washington had population of 24o00, in 1880 it was 75o00 and in 1890 it reached 357OOO.

Conflict of Symbols.
Baltimore Sun)

The Professor of Architectural Engineering who has revealed after a survey, that Americans own more motor than bath tubs (every seventh American has automobile every twentieth Am erican has tub does not indicate to what con- clusion his researches point. Nor hope to provide any conclusion. Yet, surely, there must be one The facts themselves too interesting to be without significance. Do they foreshadow change in American civilization, some shifting in symbols, emphasis upon showy comfort rather than upon upright cleanliness? Upon a restless nomadc exist ence instead of home life, full of contentment and plumbing? Or do they simply mean that a single bath tub can serve larger public than a single motor car?
 Yet on that last point, it is to be said that the tub is a limited instrument compared to the motor. It can never be used to impress ones neigh bors and friends the automobile can It is not subject to the same reasonable fashions and changes in mode It is so lacking in complexity of me- chanism as not to require much salesmanship It IS incapable of demonstration or races or records Even It's dangers are not very thrilling And one is concerned for its future. Perhaps we could tell bet ter what the drift Of our general national culture would be if we knew today whether the six out of seven who do not own motor cars or the nine teen out of twenty who do not own bath tubs feel the greater social inferiorty and what their first cholce between the two would be-

CURING CANCER.

The enthusiasm of physicians everywhere over the discovery by Dr. Coffey and Dr. Humber of an anti-cancer serum can well be understood by lay men Cancer has long been one of the most deadly foes of the race and that has baffled science. Heretofore the knife, and that used in the earlier stages of the disease, has been the only recourse in combating the terrible affliction.
 The interest of and apparent acceptance by phys- clans at San Francisco that real remedy has been discovered is the best evidence have of the importance of the discovery It will be wonderful thing if this deadliest of diseases has been con- quered and shall follow other malades that once were regarded as incurable into the category of more or less harmless things May the final results justify the expectations of those who have worked out the cure
