pegasus has been galloping through
blissful meadows of boundless illu-

the German foreign and interior
policy.
A statesman who is convinced
he is right ought to welcome the
opposition's criticism, since his
ultimate success can only humll-
late his adverSarieS. But a gov
ernment which lacks self con
fidence naturally wants to prohibit
all criticism, whether written or
spoken, in order to prevent the
opposition from later pointing TO
it's predictions and reaping a de-
served praise.
Germany is impatiently asking
this question: Will the crisis be
mastered or not? The nation

gency DEGREES are, how long a
time it took to work them out,

The People Rule
Before 1848 it was the rule
in Germany that the government
should command while the people
silently obeyed The new republic
is founded on the right to criti-
cize. The Weimar constitution
stipulates that all the governing
power emanates from the people,
not from those ruling.
You are jealously watching in
order that nobody in Germany
shall rule except your govern
ment.
If Germany today possessed an
Oliver Cromwell, a William Pitt,
Q George Washington, or a Bis
marck, all four would be excluded
from governmental activity and
restricted to the opposition.

DANCING PIGEON FOOLS
KILLERS

Chicago, April 11-When the big
horned owls and other featured
predators which prey on valuable
game and song birds fly low thru
the Ogemaw forest Of northern
Michigan they are apt to see sew
eral barnyard pigeons doing a
swaying, intriguing dance about Is
inches above the ground.
These dancing pigeons are not
placed in the forest for entertain
ment, says the Conservation De-
partment of the Izaak Walton
League. They are traps for the
blood thirsty predators, invented
by Blaine Brannon, keeper Of the
Ogemaw refuge above Bay City,
Mich.
Brannon took an ordinary barn
yard pigeon and had it mounted
with its wings spread. Then he
fastened a slim coil of wire from
the breast Of the bird to a wooden
base. This wire is just strong
enough to support the mounted
bird and a spring trap which rests
on the back and wings of the
bird. A chain from the trap leads
to a stake in the ground.
When this outfit Is placed in an
open place in the woods or around
farmers barnyard, the wind will
cause the bird to sway and tremble.
It will catch the eye Of large owl
or bird killing hawk. The would
be killer swoops to seize the stuffed
pigeon thrusts his claws into the
bird and open trap, and thus is
caught.

Noah's Ark Stranded Near
Easter, Research Shows
Col. F. G. Wordsworth English
Scientist Gives Reasons for His
Conclusions

London, April 6.-Stranding Of
Noah's ark Is believed by Colonel
F. G.. Molesworth, who has done
considerable research in Semitic
sources, to have occurred on the
18th day of Nissan, very close to
our own Easter Sunday.
Colonel Molesworth said he de-
duced, because Of reference to dat
es appearing in the Biblical &C.
count Of the flood, that Noah must
have kept log.
"The narrative Of the flood
throws considerable light on the
calendar in use in early times" he
said. Five specific dates are men,
toned, as well as five periods Of
time varying from seven to $50
days. Such exact dating does not
again recur in the Bible for over
10000 years, until the Exodus"
Colonel Molesworth said the per-
iod Of $50 days was mentioned as
equivalent to five months and he
assumed the month was fixed at 30
days with dead reckoning utilized
on days when it stormed.
THE months had not yet been
named, he said, land the system
Of recognizing them by numerals
was more widely used. However. II
we assume, with Josephus, that the
months of Noah's life coincide with
those OF the calendar year. the ark
was stranded on the nth Of Nissan,
or consequently, very close to our
Easter day.

100000 Hunters Wait
News From Survey Chief
Seriously Alarmed Over Smallest
Duck Population We Have
Had In Years

Chicago, April 11-Will there be
many wild duck dinners in Ameri-
can homes next Fall? Or must
millions of hunters center their
hunting activity on rabbits, pleas
ants or squirrels instead Of on duck
shooting? ..
More than 100000 American

wild life conditions and what the
government Is considering as re-

discussion of our game supply
since the new hunting regulations
were issued.
Mr.. Redington, head Of the Bur-
eau which is the watchdog of our
wild life resources, will address this
conference at a time when sports
men, conservation organizations
and manufacturers Of sporting
goods are seriously alarmed oven
the smallest duck population that
we have had in many years.
Sportsmen and game authorities
who will attend this conference
and Convention Of the Walton
League will hear about the abund-
ance Of wild life in regions un.
touched by civilization because Ad.
miral Richard E. Byrd, the noted

State Senator Attacks
: Gov. Olson's Highway Bill
Weber and Widell Declare Order
By Cheif Executive Is Grossly
Unfair To Farmers

Governor Floyd B. Olson's order
requiring state highway construc-
ton contracts to specify an eight
hour day for labor, with minimum
wage Of As cents an hour, was the
target Of criticism today by two
members Of the state senate from
rural districts who describe 1t as
grossly unfair to the farmer"
They announced that when a re-
solution before the senate to record
the state government formally as
supporting the Olson order comes
they will propose an amendment
specifying road contractors shall
pay fixed prices for food stuff used
In road camps. g8sa i; .....
Included would be provisions for
paying 60 cents a dozen for eggs and
the same per pound. for. butter.
Senator J. v. Weber, Slayton,
sponsor Of the amendment, Joined
by Senator Gustaf Widell, Man
kato, declared "our proposal is GER
tainly as logical as that of the gov
ernor for 1t proposes that the far
mer shall be paid for his products
on the same level that labor will be
paid"
1.-THE governor" Senator Weber
declared, has chosen to fix the
price Of labor using the taxpayers
money for the purpose. The idea
should be carried to its logical
conclusion. Why shouldn't the
farmer get paid at the same rate?
There are plenty Of farmers in
Minneapolis paying taxes who
would be perfectly content to re-
ceive 30 instead Of As cents an hour
for eight hours work daily. In
stead they are getting less than 80
cents an hour for working twelve
to fourteen hours a day.
1.-THE governor has specified pay
at fifty per cent over the As cents
minimum scale for overtime work
and no work on Sunday. This
would appeal to the farmer. Why
should the governor fix the price for
the farmers products on a COM
mensurate level in connection with
the spending Of tax money on
roads. The farmer is certainly con-
tributing his share to the fund"
Senator Weber's amendment
would provide that all contractors
or sub-contractors dong any kind
Of state road work should pur-
chase all supplies Of food for all
employees directly from farmers
and tillers of the soil adjacent to
where such work is performed.
For produce, prices should be
60 cents dozen for eggs; $1.50 per
bushel for potatoes; IS cents per
quart for milk; go cents per pound
for butter; $40 per ton for hay; IS
cents bushel for oats.
That all breads used should be
made from flour manufactured
from wheat raised in the state for
which SIPS per bushel had been
paid; all pork, $11.00 per hundred
weight on the hoof, all beef $14.00
per hundred.

A Very ENJOYABLE Dinner Dance

A Very Enjoyable Dinner Dance
The Dinner Dance sponsored by
the Sank Centre Country Club at
the Community building, Home
School for Girls, Monday evening,
April Is, was enjoyed by IS couples.
The ladies auxiliary Of the Country
Club had charge Of the menu and
are largely responsible for the sue
cess Of Monday evenings dance.
Mrs. Stewart and her assistants
had prepared a most delectable
roast chicken dinner which was
dainty served by the girls Of the
School. ..,
The Community building is an
ideal place for this sort Of enter
tainment. Dinner was served at

midnight. to the splendid music
furnished by Mrs. Hansen and her

ton came from St. Cloud and they
play for all the better social func-
tions Of the Granite City. ..

one or the most heartening feat
ures Of club work this year is the
rapid approach Of the home eco
Monies projects to standard.
Stearns county bids fair to be the
most outstanding county in the
state in home economics work this
year. This will be due in great
measure to the splendid services Of
Mrs. Jones and those women of the
county who have given their ser.
vices unstintingly to the girls. The
enrolment is one of the largest on
record. Mrs. Jones hopes that, all
the girls will stay by the work and
will complete their projects. The
fiinishup percentage is what counts
in home economics work as well as
other projects when the state club
reviews the individual
progress Of the counties at the, end
of the yeer. ..... ads
Demonstrations, coaching, prac-
tice, these are the features Mrs.
Jones has emphasized. It Is ifota-
BILE that whereas many Of the club
leaders give their greatest atten"
ton to those clubs which are rap
idly. forging ahead, Mrs. Jones has
persisted in stimulating and giving
the greater part Of her time to as
sisting those girls and the clubs
which need attention the most. This
may cut down the prospective list
Of prize winners at the district and
state contests, but it is keeping the
entire work in the county up to
standard and giving all of the girls
an equal opportunity. Four hun
dred and twelve girls as a class is
no mean task, particularly as the
girls leader is asking that the girls
put their knowledge to practical
use and help mother in the matter
of baking and sewing whenever
possible. The cakebaking project
demands that each girl bake cake
on an average of once every week.
Mrs. Jones has advocated this as a
household task, or lesson.
The room furnishing project will
be a great success this year If the
present enthusiasm Of those men,
bers adopting it is continued until
day. This project is
forming the center Of Institutional
talks at many Of the club meetings
and also is interesting the mothers.
Stearns county is the greatest
dairy and poultry county in the
state. This Is shown in Mr.. Welch's
figures submitted today. Fifty-six
boys are taking the dairy calf work
and 90 the poultry project. Gar
dening also Is popular and there are
10 enrolled. Tobacco remains about
where 1t was last year with an en-
.rollment of Is, although this may
be increased. The cause for this
is that so few Of the local leaders
know anything about tobacco Last
year the Minnesota tobacco pool
handled the All projects.
The membership in the Stearns
county clubs is still open and will
remain SO until late in April un-
less the project warrants an early
start. There are no social men,
bers in the county clubs this year.
Each boy and girl must undertake
some work.

trees, says A. G. Ruggles. state en-
tomologist and member Of the
staff Of the division Of entomology,
Minnesota Agricultural Expert
ment Station. It will not do to be
guided by a spraying calendar
merely.
II ones trees show the oyster
shell scale, he should spray first
when the buds begin to burst with
a miscible oil like Dendrol, or with
the dormant lime-sulphur solution.
II they do not show the scale, the
first spraying may be done when
the center bud Of the flower clust-
er begins to show pink. This is
called the pink bud spray. A
second spray should be applied
when from three-quarters to seven
Fights of the blossom petals have
fallen. This Is called the calyx
spray. A third spray Is applied two
or three weeks later.
The apple maggot fly, which
pokes It's eggs through the skin of
the apple, where they hatch into
little rnaggots and tunnel through
the fruit, Is bad actor" for the
orchardists, says Mr.. Ruggles. The
best means Of controlling It Is by
spraying with arsenate Of lead
about the middle Of July and re-
peating the treatment in August.
One and half pounds of arsenate
Of lead to so gallons Of water
gives the proper mixture.
For other summer sprays, Mr..
Ruggles advises the use Of the
same amount Of arsenate Of lead
combined with lime-sulphur, either
one and quarter gallons Of the
lime sulphur or 8 pounds Of the
powder to so gallons. The ume-sul-
phur Is to conrol fungus distase
which are always present.
And the sprayer should not be
stingy in his treatments, adds Mr..
Ruggles. Fifty gallons Of spray
material will not cover more than
from Is to 20 trees thoroughly.
