MINNESOTA HISTORY
OUTLINE PUBLISHED.

Minnesota History: A Study Out
line" by DR.. Theodore G. Blegen. as
sistant superintendent of the Mime
sofa Historical society, has just been
published by the University of Mime
sofa Press, Minneapolis.
It blocks out the field of Minnesota
history in twenty-five topics from the
period of Indian occupation and the
coming of the French explorers down
to the era of the modern common
wealth. Each topic is accompanied by
specific references to sources Of infor-
nation and by series of questions
and suggestions.
The outline is intended to be of
practical use to students and teachers,
study clubs, and to individuals in
terested in exploring the historical
backgrounds of the state.
In addition to the topical outlines
the phamplet contains section of
Comments and Suggestions" on the
correlation of Minnesota and Ameri-
can history, possibilities in the study
of local history, textbooks, maps, slides,
how to get the publications of the
Minnesota Historical society, the Uni
versity of Minnesota Press, and Mime
sofa fiction.

This is due to the mastery way In
which convoluted colors are woven
around the emblem to give it this
effect. AS soon as the eye quits dane
ing to the confusing bit of color
scheme around the emblem, one sees
the words American Legion" in bold
relief
Next comes the vivid green lettering
at the bottom, on a black background,
reading: "Over One Million Members"
and then the eye jumps to the orange
field on which is lettered in light vel
low, the words: Serving for God and
Country"
The story it tells Is all inclusive,
short and fascinating. It is designed
to stand out in any company of other
brilliant works of art.
In addition to the poster, thousands
of window and street car cards also
will be printed in the natural colors
from the same picture. The cards will
also cost six cents each.
The poster will cost the Legion 81
each. Order blanks will 60 out from
the National Headquarters in the near
future to all posts. The first step a
post is to take is to contact the local
posting company whose name will be
furnished on the order blank, and ar
range for as many outdoor panels as
possible, without cost to the post. The
post then is to order direct from the
Morgan Lithograph Co., of Cleveland,
and the shipment will be made direct
to the local posting company.

Preparedness" with big "P"-with
PEP and PUNCH, is the way one of
the numerous artists and advertising
experts who have seen the new Ameri :.
can Legion poster describes it. Min
neSota will see it on the outdoor panels
November /. It is conServatively eS-
timated that $4,000 or more will be
placed throughout the United States
at that time, through the cooperation
of the Outdoor Advertising Association
of America, Inc, and affiliated COM
panies.
The poster will be the first big gun
In the Legion's campaign to duplicate
in 1892 the record of one million men,
bers just obtained for 1881. Never be-
fore in the history of the Legion has
such preparedness Ga principle which
the Legion has long advocated for ma
tional protectiom been made for main
tanning the Legion strength which has
proven so necessary in order to carry
out successfully the various service
programs of the organization.
The message which the new poster
carries was designed to give thrill of
pride to every Legionnaire, attract all
ex-service men and women, and at the
same time give to the general public
the greatest ideal of Legionism-
vice for God and Country.
The first thing that greets the eye
is six foot Legion emblem in its
natural colors, which alone, make a
beautiful picture. The emblem seems
to jerk, back and forth, and around.

IF MOSQUITOES FIGHT HARD
1T MEANS HARMONY

II you dislike mosquitoes with the
violence of a tortured soul, and yet
If they continue to attack you with
the viciousness of devils in spite of all
the loudly smelling mixtures you can
smear on yourself-then yours may
be another case of perfect harmony
The perfection Of this harmony is
mainly in favor of the mosquitoes, adds
q bulletin of the American Game
Association. This relates that special
lists of the United States Department
Of Agriculture, in experimenting with
mosquito repellents, have found that
different kinds of mosquitoes react
differently to the same repellents, and
that some persons are more attractive
to mosquitoes than others.
So yours may be that felicitous &C.
casion when the family of mosquitoes
which don't mind your brand of re-
pellants finds exactly the type of per-
son it prefers. In that case the
specialists recommend rubbing moist
ened toilet soap on the bites.
The specialists listed oil OF penni-
royal as the most widely proved and
used anathema to these insects. 1t
may be rubbed on pure or mixed, one
part to five, with petroleum or any
other heavy oil, including the castor
variety. The investigators discovered
that any kind of oil is in itself some
what of repellent to fastidious pune
turers. Although experiments have not
proceeded far enough to reveal the
type of person mosquitoes fall hardest
for and upon, this is believed to de-
pend on the amount of natural oil in
the skin.

a matter of fact" he says, practically
all such tonics are worthless. Anyone
gaining the confidence of farmers on
the basis that his product is recon-
mended or authorized by any depart
ment of the University is a faker pure
and simple"
Agents of the concern referred to
recently infested Clearwater county,
claiming that they were veterinarians
and also that local hatchery, as well
as DR.. Billings, endorsed their remedies
Both claims were shown to be false
when County Agent c. c. Chase in
vestigated, and the peddlers skipped
the country hurriedly.
Reports reaching University Farm
indicate that agents of poultry cures
or tonicS, virtually all of which are
fakes, are unusually numerous and &C
tive this year. Unless farmers avoid
patronizing these agents they are GER
tain to waste a lot of money and, in
some cases, even damage their flocks,
says DR.. Billings. Requiring agents to
produce proper credentials or consult
ing county agents before buying Is
suggested.
During the next few weeks, DR.. Bill
ingS intends to prepare series of
articles dealing with important poultry
diseases and the best methods for con-
trolling them. Watch this paper for
DR.. Billings dependable articles.

WARNS POULTRYMEN OF
FAKE REMEDY PEDDLERS

Beware of any agent or salesman
Of poultry remedies who claims that
his product Is recommended or auth
orized by the Agricultural Extension
Division of the University of Mime
sofa, or by any other department or
staff member of the University"
This warning is broadcast to poultry
keepers of the state by DR.. w. A..
Billings, extension veterinary specialist,
University Farm, who has received
numerous letters and telephone con-
versations to the effect that at least
one poultry tonic concern is operating
In Minnesota under false colors. The
statesmen of this company sometimes
claim to be representing DR.. Billings
or the University of Minnesota, and at
other times state that their products
have been authorized or recommended
by the University and especially the
Agricultural Extension Division. In
some other cases, the statesmen repre-
sent themselves as being sent out by
Dr.. Billings or with his recommends
ton.
Neither the University of Minnesota
nor the Agricultural Extension Division
has ever recommended any poultry
tonic, nor has Dr.. Billings himself. Gas

LAW REQUIRES MIRROR
ON HORSE DRAWN RIGS,

Although the law for more than two
years has required the use of rear
lights or reflectors on all horse drawn
vehicles on the highways at night,
there are still many vehicles on the
road which do not have this safety
device, says State Highway bulletin.
Failure to use such protection is al
most equal to suicide on busy high
way, and hazardous on any road.
Sometimes drivers of wagons or farm
machinery find themselves unexpec-
tedly delayed and caught on the road
after dark without the required rear
light or reflector. In such cases q
piece of bright tin, pocket mirror,
or any shiny article on the rear of the
rig, may prove a life saver. This Is
recommended only in emergency,
however, as red lamp or reflector,
which may be purchased for small
sum, is more effective.

RABBITS MAY pinch
HIT FOR DUCKS.

Bunny Cottontail, for years the
favorite game animal of hundreds OF
thousands of American sportsmen, may
find himself elevated to a kingship this
fall and rated as far more sporty
game animal than ever before, said
DR.. Preston Bradley, president of the
Izaak Walton League, this week, in
commenting on possible changes or a
reduction in the duck hunting season
because of the waterfowl shortage.
DR.. Bradley now at his camp on Lake
Vermilion, said that in case the BIZ
illogical Survey considers it necessary
to shorten the waterfowl season due to
a serious shortage in birds resulting
from two bad nesting seasons, hunt
ing the humble cottontail, the ring
necked pheasant and the Bob White
quail, as well as nationwide shooting
contests featuring trap, skeet and rifle
shooting will provide shooting pro-
gram while the waterfowl are given a
respite so that their numbers may be
increased.
eff the shortage of birds is acute,
sportsmen will, am confident, vol
unteer a self imposed reduction in
waterfowl shooting, so that at the
earliest possible time we may have
plenty of birds and full open seasons, :"
he said.
Already the League is looking to
next year to help increase the stock of
waterfowl with program which calls
for chapters and sportsmen to utilize
every available pond, small lake, marsh
or slough for growing wild mallards.
Thousands of ducks and pheasants
were grown by Walton members and
released this summer Next year the
"grow-more- waterfowl program" will
be enlarged"
Stating that the League firmly be-
lieved in the typically American sport
of hunting and was working to in
crease the number of all game birds,
DR.. Bradley pointed out that possibly
shooting for the sport of shooting may
have to supplant some actual wild fowl
hunting which sportsmen ordinarily do
in good year, and to that end the
chapters of the League will promote
skeet and target shooting contests.

Ancient Time Measurement

Records at the Casa Grande ruins
in Arizona disclose that a perfect sys-
tenn of time measurement was in use
thousands of years ago. Once a year,
at exactly the moment the earth has
completed its orbit around the sun the
rays of the sun beam through the
HohOakam, marking definitely the be-
ginning or end of year. The Ho-
hoakam was the calendar used by the
prehistoric peoples who occupied the
ruins. 1t is thought smaller divisions
of time were marked by new moons

LAKES AN ASSET
To THE STATE
TEN THOUSAND LAKES ASSOCI-
ALTON FIGURES LAKES AS A
VERY VALUABLE PROPERTY FOR
REVENUE PRODUCING.

Minnesota lakes last year produced
$2495 an acre in revenue from recre-
alton sources alone according to the
Ten Thousand Lakes Greater Mime
sofa Association.
There are 3.607.68 acres Of water
within the boundaries of the state
Last year, according to the estimates
Of the Ten Thousand Lakes-Greater
Minnesota Association, the total
amount spent by tourists in the state
was $90,118,986. This included &c.,
708,290 spent by tourists who came
here from other states and $13,410, 500
by MinneSotanS who might have gone
elsewhere were it not for the lakes
Even without the amount spent by
Mnnesotans visiting their own state
the lakes provided visitors from out
side the state with $21.26 an acre worth
of swimming, fishing, scenic beauty
and other summer attractions.
Besides all this the lakes serve as
natural reservoirs which affect the
rainfall of surrounding regions, pro-
vide water for thousands of dollars of
electric power, furnish water for river
transportation, produce ice in the win
ter time, yield thousands of dollars
worth of fish which are taken by COM
mercial fishermen, provide watering
places and homes for thousands of
game animals and birds as well as
valuable for fur bearing animals.
Many Minnesota towns and cities
are built on the shores of lakes and
the pleasures which the citizens get in
boating, fishing and swimming cannot
be measured in dollars and cents.
Another way to look at it, says H. G.
Hotaing, secretary of the Ten Thous-
and Lakes Greater Minnesota Associ-
alton, would be to figure the value OF
the lakes according to the income
For instance, if the $90,000,0O0 revenue
from the lakes last year would repre-
sent a return of six percent, the face
value of the lakes would be 81, 462 ,OO3,
776. or Almost $500 an acre.
