Most startling in the revelations
of New York corruption, which in
clude purchasing of public officials,
magistrates, judges, etc, is the
statement that one Judge paid
100000 for his seat ON the bench.
The amount would be about
$4,000 more than the total salary
that he would earn in his fourteen
year term.
This means that some one else
supplied the $200,000, and common
sense indicates that tie somebody
else must have been boss Grim
inal, able, with the aid of d judge
"owned by him. to get back his
100000, with interest.

ment' in the year Of our Ford 1880

SCHOOL LUNCH SHOULD
HAVE SOMETHING CRISP

Lunches for the school child should
include something crisp, such as cell
cry, lettuce, grated carrot or rosy
apple, says Miss Inez Hobart, nutri-
tion specialist of the agricultural ex-
tension service, University of Mime
sofa. Cheese, eggs or meat filling in
sandwiches provide the muscle build
ing food.
AS to sweets, a little is good, but
do not put in enough to be so satis-
flying that the child will leave the
other foods in preference to sweets,
Miss Hobart advises. Fruit is al
ways a better dessert than rich cakes
or pastries. Raisins, dates, and figs
are excellent as a treat.
Variety in sandwiches may be OBJ
tanned by using different kinds Of
bread, as well as different filings.
White, graham, whole wheat, rye,
oatmeal, raisin, nut, brown bread or
a combination of two or more breads
may be used in putting up the lunch.
By using sharp knife, slices may be
cut thin which will make the sand
wiches more attractive to the chill
dren and easier to eat.
Butter should be spread on thinly
on bread before filling is added. The
butter fills the open spaces and pre-
vents "soggy" sandwich. It should

KEEP OUT "SLACKERS"
BY TESTING SEED CORN

"Slackers," meaning weak plants
with little or no yielding ability, may
be kept out of the cornfield through
careful testing of seed for germina-
ton which will also insure against
the use of dead seed, says H. K. Will
son, agronomist at University Farm,
st. Paul. He suggests first taking
a good-sized sample that is represent
ative of the entire seed supply and
terminating it. If 95 per cent or
of the kernels germinate strong, ear
testing need not be done. In reading
tests, however, Mr.. Wilson advises
farmers to be very critical and to
consider any weak kernels as dead.
When less than 95 per cent strong
termination is found, the ear test is
advisable. The rag doll method, well
known to most farmers, is one of the
easiest and most satisfactory means
of making this test. A newer method
which is one of the simplest and most
effective, is that of using old news
papers instead of cloths to hold
i.oisture.
Six sheets of newspaper, about 10
by ID inches, should be thoroughly
soaked in water, and the kernels dis
tributed on the wet sheets. Next,
three sheets of soaked paper are
placed on top. A margin Of about
one inch should be left on each edge.
The lengthwise edges are folded in
and the paper rolled into a doll.
After labelling and fastening, the
roll may be placed in an open two
quart glass jar. The jar. should then
be placed upside down in a warm
place such as the kitchen cupboard.
A match should be left under one
edge of the jar to provide air circula-
ton. After 7 to 10 days the test
may be read.
Additional information on germ
ination tests, as well as on seed corn
selections, may be had free by writ
ing the Mailing Room, University
Farm, St. Paul, and asking for Spe-
cial Bulletin No. 125.

We students of the Redwood High
School enjoyed an address, Monday
morning, delivered by DR.. Jones,
President of the Buena Vista College,
Storm Lake, Iowa. DR.. Linn OF the
Presbyterian church was president OF
the same college several years ago.
DIR. Jones used as his text a passage
in the Bible: namely, Numbers 13,
33 which states as follows: And
there we saw the giants, the sons OF
Anak, which come of the giants: and
we were in our own sight as grass
hoppers land so we were in their
sight" DR.. Jones told how the Is
raelites led by Moses were about to
enter the Promised Land, how they
sent spies or scouts to find out the
nature of the land and people, and
how the spies came back with report
as stated above. In his talk he show
how the spies over-estimaed the size
of the giants and how we, today,
over-estimate the difficulties in our
pathway. He showed how the spies
under-estimated themselves and how
we, today underestimate ourselves
in the face of difficulty. At the close
of his speech he told us that we must
not forget God when we meet with
difficulty, and we will get through it
easier.
The definite date hasn't been de-
cided as yet, but probably the final
