Again the Soviet film artists have
put Hollywood, with its vapid nom
sense, to shame, in producing the
Black Sea Mutniy," now playing at
the Cameo Theatre.
Superior not only in artistry, but
excelling in telling the great mass
drama of revolution, The Black
Sea Mutniy" equals "potemkin" and
is even more gripping in interest by
involving the French intervention in
Odessa In 1918.
The film well portrays how the
sailors of the French fleet, occupy

and French factories--canle to be
corrupted" by Bolshevik propa-
ganda, and their development in this
up till the climax when they refused
to fire upon the city when the Red
Guard re-occupied it, Not the least
dramatic part, is that played by a
French colonial Negro sailor, who
refuses under torture to reveal the
source of leaflets he distributed
among the crew.

wonderful presentation of characters

After the talk with their parents,
the boys were all happy and enthus-

The boys told their parents that
Walter White was expected at the

They told them that even when they

The adoption of the House rules
for this session caused some debate.
Mr.. Stockwell argued that his water
power bill, an amendment to the con-
stitution, should not go before two
committees. After being reported out
of the Public Domain committee it
has been customary to have it go
through the Appropriations committee
because eventually it involves bond
issue. The Hennepin county legisla-
tor maintained that there would be
no bond issue unless it was carried
by a referendum vote of the people
and, therefore, his bill which has been
introduced in each session since 1923
should not be obliged to go through
the Appropriations committee also,
thus causing more delay and hard
work by it's sponsors. Representative
w. l. Norton of Hennepin county,
leader amongst the conservatives and
an able speaker held out for the rules
as they are on that score and won out.

those in Askov and to others in the

money towards defraying expense OF

be left at the bank, will be very much
appreciated and will certainly go to-

PINE EMINENT
IN CLUB WORK
Continued from Page ~

steadily till 1927, since when it has
fallen off slightly. Twenty-three fin
ished the project in 1924, the number
finishing in succeeding years being as
follows: in 1925, SO; 1926, 70; 1927, IS;
1928, So; and in each of the last two
years, Sc have finished. The decline
in enrollments in 1928, which has
continued since that time, is explain
ed by Mr.. Hammargren in his 1928
report as being due to the curtail-
ment of expense money. In that year
county appropriations for extension
were discontinued. This lack of sup
port has prevented building up the
dairy calf project to the much greater
enrolment which it might well have.
Nowhere does the Importance of
dairy calf club work show up more
strikingly than at the Pine county
fair, where each year the dairy calf
exhibit is leading attraction, as well
as the dairy judging work and other
parts which dairy calf club members
take in the annual parade. The Pine
county calf club shows began in 1926,
when the first show was conducted at
Sandstone on August 20. Seventy of
the 104 calf club members competing
in this event which attracted crowd
of 1000 people.
The 1927 show was held at Askov,
where 6S we'll fed calves of high
breeding were shown for county hon
ors. Again the show brought out
more than 1000 people. AS shown by
County Agent Hammargren's report
for that year. In 1928, the County
calf club show was made a part of
the county fair, with the fair associ-
alton offering special premium money.
AS a result, 40 calves were exhibited
with quality better than that of any
previous shows. The number of
calves shown at the 1929 county fair
was somewhat smaller than before,
but the competition was even keener,
says Mr.. Hammargren, due to the
standing feature of the 1929 dairy calf
club work was the fact that out of Al
boys enrolling, 40 finished the work,
mad IA girls finished out of Is enrolled.
That 1880 was another big year is
indicated by facts given earlier in
this article.
Though the number of boys and
girls enrolled and the records of
prizes, trips and other honors won.
are imposing, they do not by any
means form an accurate measure of
the benefits of dairy calf club work
in Pine county, says Mr.. Hammargren.
The real results of this work would
have to be told in terms of the interest
in better dairy practices that has
been aroused not only among the club
members themselves, but among the
elders, and in other ways far more
lasting and significant than ribbons
and prizes.
