$40: total 2,154. The U. 8. Census for
1901 gave Sank Centre q total of
2,22o. The state census Of 1906 gave
Sank Centre 2,460. Thus 1t appears
that there has been a material fall
ing off in the past five years. Part
Of this Is due to the loss Of the KEEL
Ter factory year ago. Still, the
showing was as good as could be
expected under the circumstances.
The figures for the township of
Sank Centre, also In the bulletin,
are 578.

County Sank Centre is credited
with 81 and st. Cloud with 249, the

other list bearing the same dates
gives the total number of the
Stearns county men then enlisted
in the u. s. service at BOG, Of which
number 20 were from Sank Centre
and 103 from st. Cloud. The papers
are yellow with age and quite a
curiosity.

dressed Grandma Somehow, birth
days don't seem to fit into our
economy scheme. I'm afraid they'll
be disappointed if we fail to greet
their anniversaries withou all the

"WelI, I think they would enjoy
a party that they knew any Of our
poor families could enjoy on the
economical food budgets which we
are planning for the Community
Club. Since their birthdays are
so close together why not cele-

Briggs Family
Table Talks
Planning Meals for Needy
Families

The local community club, OF
which Mother Briggs was an ener-
getic member, decided to plan eco
nomical and nutritious meals for
the needy families in the town.
Through the production Of a home
talent play, funds were raised to
imburse the feed budgets Of the
poor people of the community.
During the interval between
Thanksgiving and Christmas, the
needy families were well supplied
with baskets of food. The Com
munity Club members decided that
during the winter months their
charitable contributions would be
most appreciated.
Mrs. Briggs was appointed as the
chairman of the committee which
planned the economy meals. To
make the suggestions accurate as
well as the planning of the meals
an interesting experiment, Mother
Briggs served these meals to her
family.
GRANDMOTHER Briggs, who after
much coaxing, decided to prolong
her stay until February first, en-
joyed the experience greatly. Dur
ing her girlhood days Of pioneering
in the Middlewest, a frugal fare
was part of her daily existence.
She had many suggestions about
economical menu planning to give
to her daughter-in-law.
AS the amount of money to be
expended for food shrinks, milk
becomes increasingly important in
the dietary. A quart Of milk fur
nishes more than so percent of the
days essential needs at small
cost. Besides providing a daily
quart of milk for each child and a
pint for each adult in the needy
families the following foods were
supplied in the menus planned by
Mother Briggs and her committee:
Milk-One quart for each child
one pint for each adult.
Meat-Three or four times a
week in amounts to equal one
fourth pound clear of bone, gristle
and fat for each adult and one
half that amount for children
egetabIes-Potatoes once, and
another vegetable at least once
preferably twice-daily.
Fruit-Enough to provide serv-
ing for each member of the family
at least e-perferably twice
daily. Part may be dried.
Sugar-Enough to provide one
pound a week for each adult and
four to eight ounces for each child.
Fats-Butter and other fats. But
ter is included in economical diets
because it contains important Wit
amins.
In addition, enough fats, cereal
products, and legumes to satisfy the
demands of a normal appetite.
The first economy menu for one
day which Mother Briggs tried
on her family consisted of:
Breakfast
Oatmeal, milk and sugar.
Toast.
Milk to drink.
Luncheon
Stewed lima beans.
Dreamed onions.
Rye bread and butter.
Indian neal pudding.
Milk to drink.
Dinner
Meat loaf.
Potatoes.
Scalloped tomatoes.
Cabbage (siaw).
Wholewheat bread and butter.
Bread pudding.
Milk to drink.

Minnesota Legion Ahead of

PER CAPITA COST OF EDUCATION OF ALASKA
 NATIVE IS HIGHEST

Educational progress in the ter ritories and the regions under con i trol of the United States depends on improved economic conditions of the localities, the Federal Office of Education points out ln re- port just published, on the educa- tion of indigenous persons unoer national jurisdiction, reports the United States Daily.
 Such problems as promoting common language, overcoming n- literacy, advancing the economlc welfare, and improving health among the natives are interrelated with the educational program the report explains.
 It is the aim of the government to transfer responsibility for ad- ministration, supervision and m struction to the groups themselves as rapidly as possible. The fol- lowing additional information deal ing with the situation in general was taken from the report.
 Of the 14,OOO,00O persons outside continental United States coming under it's control, approximately 1 1,5OO,OO0 are enrolled in schools, varying from 1900 in American Samoa to 1,120,OO0 in the Philippine Islands. The per capita cost or educating the natives varies rom S1O.50 in the Philippines to Sllo.zo in Alaska.
 Education is administered thru four different agencies: The m terior Department controls 1t III Alaska, Hawaii, and the Virgin 1s~ lands; the Navy Department con- trols it in Guam, American samoa, and Swains Island; the War De- Dartment controls it in the Philip pines, and Porto Rico, while lt ls independently controlled III the Canal Zone.
 In spite of wide differences racial, economic, social, traditional etc.-among the minority and ln- digenous peoples for whom an American education program has been established, the number o1 problems common to all situations is striking. Among the most sig nificant is that of acquiring com mon language. little progress can be made in promoting common un- derstandings of any kind until tnls is accomplished. Among the In dians in continental United states as among the Indians and EsKlmoS in Alaska, many languages ana oia- lects still prevail.
