the great factor in the rapidity of
the testing.
The staff veterinarian also was
Of the opinion that a great many
more cattle will show up in the test
than are listed on the tax records.
This, he affirmed, was the rule in
all other counties in which the test
has been made. .,n., -..
There are many farm ers asking
the veterinarians when they will re-
turn to the county for the second
test, according to DR.. Holzer. With
in three or four months the veter-
inarians will returns to retest those
herds found infected at this time.
A second general test of the herds
will be made in one year. AS soon
as the percentage of infection in
the cattle is lowered to less than
one per cent, the state and federal
government bear the expense. DIR.
Holzer said.
Holzer is of the opinion that the
two per cent of infection, while it is
considered high in comparison to
some counties, is low for Stearns
county, one of the oldest farming
regions in the state. The new
counties, or those which have been
farmed comparatively short time
are the counties with the smallest
amount of infection, he stated.

Some of the accomplishments Of
the Raymond-Ashley Club which
caused State Leader Erickson to
award them first place in the
county was good leadership and
the large number of public demon
STATIONS held.
According to Mr.. Erickson's
findings the Cold Springs Club, win
ner of second place was also one
of the best organized clubs in the
country and were especially strong
in dairy judging. Ninety-nine per
cent Of this group finished their
projects.
The Club had one adult local
leader and 454 very active MEM
bers. They held eight regular and
tyo special meetings during the
year.
The quality of the projects of
the Gopher Prairie Club, very ably
presided over by Martha Minette,
and the able club leaders, DR.. and
Mrs. F. C. Vandesteeg, of this city,
justified the placing of them
among the three winners in the
county. They ranked very near the
top in group and individual
awards. The cooperative spirit Of
the Gopher Prairie Club ranks very
high. The projects of the Gopher
Prairie Club were: Pig, sewing,
bread baking, cake baking, cam
ming, corn garden, dairy calf, baby
beef and sheep.

Theo. Dresser, Novelist,
Wallops Sinclair Lewis
Men Were Dinner Guests at Metro
politan Club, New York,
Thursday

New York, March 20-Theodore
Dresser, "the genius" slapped the
face of Sinclair Lewis Rabbit"
last night. gs +
ut was an outrageous, scanda-
lous affair."" said Lewis, the only
American ever awarded the Nobel
prize for literature
Dreiser's comment was twice as
long-it contained IL words
Rash and unwarranted insults
were rewarded with two slaps upon
the face"
He declined further discussion.
The men, probably the two best
known of American writer's, met in
room off the dining room Of the
metropolitan club where they, with
rs other men of letters, were at
tending dinner given by Ray
Long, editor of the Cosmopolitan
magazine, in honor of Boris Pin
yak, Russian Communist writer.
IT feel disinclined to speak in the
presence of a man who has stolen
5000 words from my wife's Dorothy
Thompson) book of Russia, and be
fore two sage critics who have la
mented the action of the Nobel
committee in selecting me as
Americas representative writer"
There was moments strained
silence as Lewis sat down, but
nothing happened. Soon after
ward the company adjourned to an
other room for coffee and cigars.
Lewis, tall, fiery-haired author of
main Street" and ELMER Gantry,"
stood talking with Dresser, broad
shouldered and bulky.
Suddenly, apparently to the sur
prise of the others, the open palm
of Dreiser's hand swung out, strik-
ing Lewis sharply on the cheek
Then he struck again. -...-
II didn't strike back" Lewis said,
because unfortunately someone
standing behind me grabbed my
arm" Sc 7se-~.
Other guests jumped between the
two and the disturbance was over.
Both remained at the Metropolitan
club, where the dinner was given,
and were among the last to leave.
An Associated Press reporter saw
Lewis late today just as the writer
was boarding a train for Toledo.
Cant two men have a private
squabble," Lewis said, without all
this fuss being made about it?"
II don't care to be quoted about
the incident" he added. "But what
I said about 5000 words being stol-
en- from my wife's book still stands.
No, I don't intend to sue anyone.
The incident is closed"
The guests at the dinner .includ-
ed many famous in American let
ters- Rupert Hughes, Irwin Cobb,
Ray Long, Laurence Stallings,
James r. Quirk, Arthur Brisbane
and Burton Rascue, among them.
They declined to discuss the affair.
Lewis would not say what words
led to the blows.
"Dreiser's a pretty big fellow"
the Nobel prize winner remarked,
"and must weigh pretty close to 200
pounds. I'll bet he could have put
up a pretty good scrap if they'd let
us go. Still he's pretty old. He
must be co." .s.
Lewis again called attention to
the 5000 words he charged Dresser
had Stolen from Dorothy Thomp-
sons (Mrs. Lewis) book. He point
ed out that Mrs. Lewis story was
published six months before Dreis-
er's book came out. Dresser has ex-
planned that the similarity of text
was due to the fact that both Mrs.
Lewis and he took their material
from the same source.

County Club Leader started his
1881 work in the county March IS.
Last wear he commenced April
first. 1t was really June before he
had made his personal contacts
and got the work we'll in hand. In
his visit at the Herald office Tues
day he was particularly enthusiast
tic over the prospects for growth
and development this year. Sew
eral new clubs will or have been
organized and all of the older clubs
are starting this seasons work with
renewed vigor.
Mr.. WEIGH urges all members TAX
ing poultry projects to get their
birds as early as possible. This is
especially true Of baby chicks. The
bird which will show up best will
be the one Matched about April
first, not later than the first week
in April. If the members are go
ing to set hen do it now. The
old hen cannot be kidded along to
bring her brood off in Is days or
anything less than the usual 81
DAYS. She knows her stuff and will
take the full three weeks. Mr..
Welch informs the Herald that in
terest is being shown throughout
the county in colt projects. If any
of the Club members are interested
in this project they should get in
touch with Mr.. WEIGH, or the local
leaders, without delay.

Poultrymen Offer Suggestions Fol-
Success

! Success
Get your chicks early furnish
them with plenty of of good feed,
keep them warm, and house them
under sanitary conditions and
you will have an abundance of
eggs next winter, says Allen W.
Edison, Poultryman at the Morris
| Agricultural School. The very fact
that many people are not interes-
ted in getting chicks this spring
is at least an indication that eggs
may be higher next winter than
they have been the present winter
x Late pullets are very seldom
good producers of winter eggs and
regardless of what the average
yearly price of eggs happens to be
in this territory early winter eggs
have always been higher than eggs
produced at other times Of the
year. ~. fa .-s-. -.
4. In order to get a large produc-
ton of eggs in November, Deem
Der and January the p,illets must
pot only be Matched reasonably
early but must be fed an aban.
dance of good Who'll ssonle food
There is common feeling among
| poultry breeders that one of the
i greatest dangers in chick raising
is the overlooking of young chicks
Many chicks it is true, are killed
| by improper feeding, but Mr.. Ed.
son states that he believes more
money is wasted every year
through under feeding chicks than
through over feeding them. A good
well-balanced ration, properly fed
is essential n ell times. Chicks are
usually fed with painstaking care
until they are about six weeks old
and then when the need is greatest
for careful feeding they, are very
often fed on a ration deficient in
Eboth mineral and protein and in
psome cases they do not receive suf.
ficient feed of any kind.
7 From the standpoint of the baby
chick the greatest essential is g
SANITARY and warm home. It is
very probable that large percent
VI SIllSho "hlC1 dIC IlIOuShI ~
have died because of some infect
ous disease, really are lost because
tof the results of chilling. It is {
lcertainty that a very large part O.
1.-THE chicks lost through infectious
diseases could have been saved i
lthey had been Matched and brood
ed under sanitary coalitions.
| Poultry prices at present are no
especially encouraging, but tn
farm flock managed in such
manner that little extra labor
required will likely furnish prot
liable means of marketing a pol
ton of the 1881 grain crops. Gel
tainly the difference in cost G
producing a good well deveiope
pullet and a small, immature pulle
will be very slight with prices c

Stark testified.
A statement made by Schroeder
after his capture in Mobile was

of Schroeder's leaving Mobile, May

registering at Meeker hotel and Of
attending the 50o-mile Speedway

Cured, are an average depth O.

Schroeder claims that on May 81,
when he picked up the hitch-hiker
passenger near indianapolis to carry
him TO St. Louis, his car plunged
into a four-foot ditch.
Schroeder says his passenger died
there OF a broken neck, and that
he (Schroeder) drove back to In
dianapolis and fired the car and its
cargo, fearing he would be charged
with murder If authorities learned
Of the alleged accident.

Holmes, Scroeder's attorney, shift

has been unable to tell authorities
exactly where the place is.
Alleged grilling Of Schroeder be-
came the center Of attack Of the
defense today, as Stark resumed the
stand for cross-eXamination.
Holmes charges that Stark and
Winkler violated court orders when
they grilled Schroeder in the prose-
cutor's Office and at police head
quarters. Holmes was successful
Thursday in striking parts of the
testimony on that grilling from
the record.
Holmes recalled the fight which

Holmes, Roland Snider, former
deputy sheriff, and Holmes son
Horace, were participants. At that
time Holmes shouted orders to
Schroeder to answer no questions.
Holmes also grilled Stark on the
scene In the Office Of Edward L.
Dietz, former justice of the peace,
when Winkler and Stark were
threatened" with contempt Of
court proceedings unless Schroeder
was produced at once for a hearing
on a preliminary arson charge.
Stark testified that he asked
Schroeder why he (Schroeder) did
not toss the body from the car at
some point near the accident.
1T seems very unreasonable. that
you drove clear back to Indianap-
oils to get rid Of the body" Stark
said he told Schroeder.
Schroeder said he didn't know"
Stark testified.
Schroeder told us he had about
S42,500 insurance on himself" Stark
continued.
"We told Schroeder there was no
evidence OF an accident on the car,
and that there ought to be some
bent tenders OF a bent axle, but
Schroeder answered: We'll, I've told
my story and I'm going to stick
to it," Stark said.
Stark quoted Schroeder as saying
he was driving about fifty miles
an hour at the time of the alleged
crash.
Schroeder said the right front
wheel Of the car was in. the ditch
