POULTRY LEADERS
ACTIVE IN COUNTY

The second meeting of the Pine
County Poultry project leaders was
held at Bruno March II. President
Mrs. M. A. McGrath called the meet
ing to order at 10 a. m. Minutes of
the previous meeting was read by
Secretary Plaisted followed by roll call
with responses by members with their
egg records. Three members had rec
ords averaging for the month of Feb
ruary, an amount equal to the number
of eggs required by table submitted
by Miss Cooke for standard produc-
ton based on 100 eggs per hen per
year.
w. F. Hammargren was asked to
report on his egg record, but evidently
he had left that part of the project
to his wife so he gave short talk
and advised the leaders to carry on
and felt that most of the farm flocks
should be increased to about one hun
dred birds at least. He also empha-
sized the Importance of good care and
is strong advocate of home mixed
rations.
Miss Cooke then took charge and

their way around during debate. No
matter how much experience they
may possess in other lines all Con-
gressional newcomers will blunder
and defeat their best intentions unless
they are adept parliamentary lawyers.
Think of a class with students draw

No oracles are required to show that
the country cannot escape political
turmoil even during a Congressional
adjournment. The Progressives, as
the so-called insurgents" choose to
call themselves now, have upset what
ever hopes may have been entertained
Their meeting here few days ago
contained few, if any, new proposals
for legislation. The session was re-
garded as a warning to the two major
political parties as to what they may
expect in the next Congress where
these liberals will hold the balance
of power. Their summer and autumn
program of conferences with labor and
agricultural leaders is calculated to
bother the chieftains in the other
camps. The Progressive group in Con-
gress is not always original, but they
manage to find place on the front
page in the criticisms of men and
events.
This group now in the saddle at the
Capitol is more influential with the
Senate than in the House. The same
margins of numerical control apply in
the House now which increases the
Importance of the handful of insur-
gents. Unfortunately for their we'll
laid plans, the cohesiveness on prin-
ciples does not always hold when their
political future at home is at stake.

YOUNG MAN SUFFERS
SERIOUS ARM INJURY

Paul SchwartZbauer, young farmer
living with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Schwartzbauer near McGrath.
met with a painful accident when
saving wood last Thursday at the
home farm. His left arm was caught
in the belt and twisted so that it was
broken in several places between the
wrist and elbow, some of the bone
splinters projecting through the skin.
He was rushed to DR.. w. T. Pearson's
office where, after an anaesthetic was
given, the arm was taken care of by
the doctor assisted by Sam Bosch.
The young man is still suffering a
great deal from it and will have to
stay at the doctors home for several
days yet, but is getting along as we'll
as possible.

MUNICIPAL POWER
TALKED AT PINE CITY,
GRANTSBURG, WIS,

H. Freeman Brown, farmer living
about four miles from Grantsburg and
interested in a water power site To-
Gated on his farm, was canvassing the
merchants and interested citizens of
Pine City regarding the villages of
Pine City and Grantsburg, Wis, erect
ing a power plant to furnish electri-
city for the two villages. Mr.. Brown
presented information regarding the
site from the Wisconsin State Power
and Light commission. Many towns
are reported to be functioning under
the municipal power systems very sue
cessfully and some are of the opinion
that a plant of this kind would be
considerable benefit to the townspeO-
pie and consumers of both villages
and also the farmers of the territory.

Washington Letter
b. " EDaley
Nupal fpuoau, ASSOCIATIONS spcuA

Washington, March 1S-Dead hands
are guiding the destinies of certain
Congressional committees. Legisla-
tors killed off politically last fall have
been separated from the government
payroll, but their patronage among
employees continues to rule the roost.
1t is all due to the chaotic condition
brought about by the negative policy
adopted by Republican and Democratic
leaders. Rather than force test
vote as to which party controls the
Senate and House affairs, the leaders,
real and self-styled, decided to "let
things ride until December"
These curious circumstances leave
appointees of defeated legislators run
ming important committees, while the
ranking members who would logically
take over the prerogatives of chair
manships are obliged to mark time
helpless in face of the dictum. Mean
while the ousted lame duck" chair
men, exiled by the voters from politi-
cal life, indirectly maintain their in
fluence through their henchmen. 1t
is apparent that considerable patron
age that would come to their success
sors is necessarily held in allegiance
for ten months. Newcomers are like
wise provoked at the confused situa-
ton, for nearly 100 Senators and Rep
resentatives are here with no knowl-
edge of what their special work will
he nv reason of committee assign
ments. The uncertainty and subse-
quent embarrassment has not contri-
buted to the standing of the so-called
party leaders. A new deal in Senate
and House management is impending.
There is a school conducted in
Washington that has an imposing list
of students, mostly gray-haired or
bald, but keen to learn. The parlia-

NO. l is SCENE
OF TWO MISHAPS
Two Pinned Under Chevrolet Friday
North of Sandstone; Sedan Hits
Truck Saturday.

Two accidents occurred on highway
No. 1 last week when on Friday morn
ing Alfred Lorentzen had the misfor-
tune to turn over in his Chevrolet
touring car north of Sandstone and
on the following day truck, driven
by Alex PaulsOn, was crashed into
near Rutledge by an Oldsmobile sedan,
Mr.. Paulson in the truck received the
most serious injuries of any in either
of the two accidents when he was rem
dered unconscious by some object.
Accompanying Mr.. Lorentzen was
Roy Wahlberg and the two were on
their way to the Ed Wahlberg farm
about a mile north of Sandstone when
the brakes failed to hold sufficiently
to slow the car down for turn. The
car skidded and turned over on the
top demolishing it and breaking the
windshield and imprisoning the men
underneath. Fortunately for them,
however, the car turned over in a
small hollow and this gave them suf-
ficient space to prevent them from
being crushed. Motorists passing by
soon had them out from under the
wreckage with only minor cuts and
bruises as evidence of their mishap.

Alex Paulson attempted to make a left

SANDSTONE DENTIST
SELLS HIS PRACTICE

A business deal transacted in Sand
stone during the past week causes the
dental office and practice of DR.. E. H.
Bertels to pass into the hands of DR..
K S. Palmer of Minneapolis. DR..
Palmer will take possession April L.
In passing from the professional
picture of Sandstone, DR.. Bertels will
terminate seven years of service to
that community. During his stay
there he has taken an active part in
various sports and general community
life and last year was one of the most
diligent workers for the organization
of the Sandstone Golf club, which
body made rapid progress and devel-
oped one of the best golf courses in
this section of the state. DR.. Bertels
is married and has one small daugh-
ter. In announcing the deal which
will take him from the Quarry City
community. DIR. Bertels stated that
he possibly would take postgraduate
course in Dentistry before settling in
some other location.
DIR. Palmer comes to the Sandstone
community we'll recommended and is
not a total stranger to the people
there since he had charge of DR.. Ber-
tells practice from Dec. until March
s during which time the latter was
convalescing from an operation for
appendicitis which he received Oct 1.
DIR. Palmer is graduate of the School
of Dentistry of the University of Min
nesota from which institution he grad
uated in 1923. He is married and will
bring his wife to Sandstone in the
near future to make their home.

CHICK RAISING
METHODS GIVEN
Extension Poultry Special
list Gives County Poultry
Leaders Pointers.
Large Attendance at Local
Group Meetings is
Reported.

How to dodge coccidiosis, worms
and other pitfalls of chick rearing
was explained to twenty-four poultry
project leaders who attended train
ing meetings held at Hinckley March
10, and at Bruno on March II. Miss
Cora Cooke, extension poultry special
list, University Farm, presented the
lesson, emphasizing ways of making
chicks live and grow to healthy and
productive maturity.
The leaders reported splendid in
terest in their local groups and stated
that attendance at the last round of
local meetings equalled eighty per
cent of the group members.
Sanitation was especially empha-
sized by Miss Cooke in her discussion
of "Chick Rearing" Certain dis
eases are carried over in the soil from
year to year, making it dangerous and
sometimes impossible to rear chicks
on ground that has been used for even
one year previous" Miss Cooke said.
To avoid trouble, she recommended
portable brooder houses moved to
clean spot each year. By fencing the
plot used for the chicks any one year,
the house and yard can be moved the
following year to provide clean range.
In many cases, Miss Cooke said, the
house and yard will need to be moved
frequently each growing season to fur
nish a continuous supply of green
feed. This method, called the SANTA
tion plan has proved very successful
in controlling coccidiOsis and worms
and also helps to control tuberculosis.
Rations for growing chicks were
given an important place in the dis
cussion. 1t was brought out that we'll
balanced rations may be mixed at
home much cheaper than equally good
commercial rations can be purchased.
The necessity of feeding well bal
anced ration continuously to keep the
chicks growing and to bring the pull
lets into laying at the right time in
the fall, was also stressed.
Care of chicks in the brooder house,
regulation of heat, and the training
of chicks to prevent crowding and to
establish desirable habits were given
attention.
A small feeder, costing less than 25
cents, was built in just few minutes.
Leaders were enthusiastic about this
as an easy and inexpensive means of
providing all of the feeding space
needed Miss Cooke emphasized the
importance of giving every chick a
chance at the feed, stating that with
ample feeding space even the weak
chicks have chance to grow nor
mally.
County Agent w. F. Hammargren
commented on the fine progress the
groups had made to date and urged
the leaders to continue their empha-
sis on good attendance and on i'm
mediate adoption of the suggested
practices.
The next leaders meetings will be
held April s, in Hinckley, and April
8, in Bruno. The lesson at that time
will be on Feeding for Egg Produc-
ton"

ASKOV COUPLE
ARE UNITED
Nuptfals are Pro-
nOunced i'm the Danish Lutheran
Church Thursday, March IL.

The Danish Lutheran church in
Askov was the scene of quiet private
wedding Thursday afternoon at 4
o'clock when Mrs. Ellen X. Petersen
was united in marriage to Mr.. Einar
Jensen. The wedding ceremony was
conducted by the Rev. A. E. Frost in
the presence of only a few including
the mother of the bride and brother
in-law.
Mr.. Jensen has resided in the Askov
community for the past II years COM
ing here from Omaha, Neb., where he
had farmed two years after following
the trade of tailor for several years.
While in the Askov community Mr..
Jensen has acquired and improved a
forty-acre farm one and three-quar-
ter miles southeast of the village and
has a nice home to offer his bride.
He has a good standing in the COM
munity being always ready to build
for its betterment.
Mrs. Petersen, while living in Askov
only since September, has gained a
large circle of friends who wish her
much happiness with her chosen life
mate. Since coming here she estab-
lished what was known as the Askov
Dressmaking shop and conducted it
in an efficient manner. She will make
a welcome addition to the rural life
of the community.
Mrs. Peter Godfredsen of Tyler,
mother of the bride; Magnus Daniel
sen of Dagmar, Mont, brother-in-law;
and the Rev. and Mrs. Holger Koch
of West Denmark, attended the we'd
ding. Mrs. Godfredsen remained a
few days while the others returned to
their homes.
A wedding dinner was served by
Mrs. Adolph Jensen at the Einar Jen-
sen home to friends and relatives.
During the evening the Rev. Koch
spoke a few words appropriate to the
occasion. Singing and social visiting
filled the remainder of the evening.
The happy couple are at home on
their farm southeast of Askov where
they are receiving congratulations and
best wishes from many friends.

CARLSON SCHOOL TO
CONTINUE NEXT YEAR

Catching a rumor while it was yet
in infancy the parents and taxpayers
in the Carlson school district three
and one7half mile southwest of Askov
are now assured of the continuance of
their school for at least another year.
A thought was given by the school
board of Sandstone as to the feasibil-
ity of disseminating the Carlson
school and hauling the several chill
dren' into the village school at that
place, thus making saving in eX-
pense to the district. The people of
the Carlson school district went in a
body to the board at its last Thursday
nights meeting and protested the
rumored discontinuance of their
school with the result that they were
promised by the board to have it con-
tinued.
This assurance will be gratifying to
parents in that district when it is
seen that their children will not have
to be subjected to the long ride in a
school bus.
