SI.5O A BUSHEL is TOO
MUCH FOR ROTTEN CORN

Otto Mahlow of Lake Lillian is no
objector to fair profits, but when a
South ST. Paul commission house
charged him SIS fer ten bushels Of
corn which his hogs did not eat while
they were in the South St. Paul stock
yards awaiting sale, he draws the line
on profits. The SIS for corn was de-
Quoted from his returns on the ship
ment of hogs. Had the corn been
good, it was worth on the open mark
ct at that time less than SO cents a
bushel, thus profit of more than 200
per cent was realized on corn that Mr..
Mahlow declared was rotten.
The practice of charging an ex-
horbitant price for feed at the term
inal stock yards has been the object
of attack but so far little has been
accomplished to correct the evil.
Reuben Potter of Springfield, who
spoke at Danube recently before the
annual meeting of the members of
the shipping association Of that city,
said that after considerable fight, the
Central Cooperative Commission COM
pany had succeeded in securing a ten
cent per bushel reduction in this
graft.

PADDOCK BUILDING AT
SPRINGFIELD AGAIN

For the second time in the history
of prohibition enforcement, the
strong arm of the law has closed the
doors of a Springfield soft drink par
lor with an injunction order, accord
ing to the Advance-Press which gives
the account as follows:
This time the West room of the
Opera House Block was padlocked.
Deputy U. S. Marshall E. C. Sinclair
came to Springfield Friday with a
writ of injunction from the United
States district court forbidding the
opening of the place then occupied by
the soft drink parlor of Ed. Mooney
for period Of ten months. The pro-
prietor of the place was not enjoined
from conducting his business for the
reason that he was in hospital and
not in charge when the federal offc-
ers raided the place last year. Aug
ust Schmidtke was in charge Of the
place and was arrested when liquor
was found in the place.
Edward Bloemke owner of the
building, and Aug. Schmidtke were
made defendants in the injunction
proceedings which were instituted by
the district attorneys office. A sign
on the front door informs the public
that the place is closed for violation
of the prohibition act.
Knowing that the injunction order
was Forthcoming. Ed. Mooney applied
to the city council some time ago for
a transfer of his license to the Lehrer
Holding Company building, at one
time occupied by Randall & Guend-
ner. The permission to move into the
building was granted and last Friday
the fixtures and stock were moved to
the new location.

KARAKUL SHEEP TO BE
RAISED NEAR JACKSON

The Karakul sheep, commonly
known as the sacred sheep of Asia,
have made their appearance in Jack
son. D. C. Seger of that community
has one ram and two ewes. The
sheep have a triple source of revenue.
Karakul coats, Pension lamb, Broad
tail, Astrachan and various coat trim
mings are made from their pelts,
their wool furnishes fiber for Persian
rugs and the mutton is the third
source of revenue.
The sheep, natives of Central Asia,
were originally brought to this coun-
try by Theodore Roosevelt in three
shipments. Their importation is now
prohibited.

The enlargement of the free market is a necessary cor relary to piece work, since there would be little inducement to earn more without an opportunity to spend more.
 Put into its terest form, the whole tendency may be described thus: The Soviet State, in its ca- pacity of large capitalist--owning and operating the largest complex of industries and businesses in the world-resorts more and more to the ordinary capitalist methods. In it's capacity 1t develops the worlds most ambitious paternalistic ap- paratus of social insurance, educa- ton and health protection.

SECOND SHEAR PLANS SHADOW
 OVER RUSSIA
National Propaganda Ma. chinery Set in Motion
 By SOviets
By EUGENE LYONS lUnitcd Press Stan COrrespondcntl ]

Moscow.--The shadow of the second five-year plan creeps omi- nousiy upon this hard-tried land of Soviets. Already the gigantic machinery of national propaganda has been set into motion. This is one of the important things which came to pass in this observers s brief absence.
 The writer found a few other changes, or rather the deepening of tendencies in existence when he left. They seem significant indica- tions of how Soviet affairs are shaping up.
 First: The system of piece work has become almost universal. In use in various industries from the very beginning of Soviet history, it hash now been extended to every branch of the national economy, including the socialized sector of farming.
 Cost Accounting
 Second: A system of cost &C., counting is being made obligatory for every Soviet undertaking. Every undertaking must run on it's own resources and justify it's ex- istence by showing a profit. Of course, it has the support of the government as in the past, through credits and technical guidance.
 Stalin's recent orders that oversized, unwieldy trusts be split into smaller units, as well as his demand for individual rather than collective administration of indus trial enterprises, are in line with this general tendency.
 Third: Firm measures have been taken to fix personal responsibility for the quality as well as quantity of work performed.
 Fourth: The so-called free mar ket, where goods can be bought without restriction by anyone who can pay the inflated prices, has been greatly extended. The gov ernment has entered into com petition with the private trader and opened hundreds of shops.
 Soviet Tempo
 These changes are a startling confirmation of the statement, now platitudinous, that the "tem- DO" of growth and change in the Soviet Union is diZZying in it's speed. Processes which under a private system of economy require years are forced through here by a few sharp edicts.
 These changes have one char acteristic in common. They all draw upon capitalistic methods. Piece-work is the pet abomination

BETTER SCHOOLS
 AID CHILDREN

Chicago-(UP)-Modern school buildings should be built within a community through application of a definite yardstick of specifica- tions, if any correlation between the various plants is to be arrived at in determining the relation of school architecture to child health the City club of Chicago has found.
 After two years study of building and housing conditions in the Chi cago public schools, the housing and public health committee of the City club discovered that the prob lem is too vast, the differences be- tween school plants and their loca- tion too great to permit of definite conclusion in regard to child health and architecture.
 Standardization of school con- struction on the basis of varying conditions is vital, the committee found, in order to give children of all classes equal chance.
 During the last five years &C., cording to the committee repart, there has been evident in Chicago new style of school architecture based on the needs of children, which has resulted in much i'm proved school plant.
 Although it was possible for the committee to obtain statistics on defective health of school children in Chicago an damong children of cities of more than 100000 popula- ton throughout the country. it felt any conclusion establishing the re- lation of architecture to heathl was unwarranted.
 Therefore, standardization was urged in building conditions, in order to deal with the problem of chuld health.

ton of weii-tried capitalistic tech- nique.
 eve will take over any capital ist methods that we can use In our own communist economy" one oi them said. Do we have any scruples about adopting capitalist machinery, convcyer systems, mechanical farming? No more do we scruple to adopt your tech-
 nique for raising productivity of labor, or eliminating waste. It is not capitalist efficiency we Obpect to, but capitalist chaos. We see world of difference between your
 workers toiling to pile up fortunes for a few and our workers toilfng to enrich the country as whole. Certainly this is a decisive dis
 tinction for the minority of the
 Soviet population which "soid'

 tinction means to the least com
 mon denominator of the whole business-to the individual worker being driven, or cajoied, into
 working faster and better--is a question.
 The phenomenally fast growth of collectivization in agriculture continues. By the time spring sowing was finished some 13,o00,- 900 peasants had joined in 100000 collectives: about 55 per cent of the whole farming population and more than two-thirds of the total planted acreage.

 Newfoundland inhabitants live largely on what they can get out of the sea. Agriculture is scanty. cattle are difficult to house and feed for cattle during the winter is hard to get. The people in New foundland therefore live on diets corresponding to that of sailors when sailing on small ships for long voyages. They get white flour, molasses, small amounts of pota- toes, cabbages and turnips, salt pork and oleomargarine.
 As might be expected, these peo- ple suffer from deficiency diseases. Scurvy is not particularly common; in fact, not as coon as might be expected. But beri beri and various forms of plyneuritis are fairly fre- auent, and disturbances of the eyes, such as develop in animals fed on diets deficient in vitamin A, are exceedingly frequent.
 The most common deficiency or the eye to be found is called by the physician Functional hemeralo- pia." The common name for this condition is night-blindness. In this disease the person is unable to see by night. Incidentally the night blindness Is associated with other
 disturbances of the eyes in the form of inhammations which are easily produced in animals by put ting them on diets which are de. ficient in vitamin A. These disturb.
 ances are readily cured by adding

CAPITOL HIDES
 2 CRYPTS FOR WASHINCTONS
Built at Request of Presi- dent Monroe, But
 Never Used

Washinston.-Few of the thou- sands who annually Visit the capi- tol here realize that in the base ment, under the dome of the structure, there are two vacant vaults, hewn out of rock, for George and Martha Washington.
 The preparation Of these two tombs and the reasons why they remain unoccupied are an inter- esting bit of the personal history of George Washington, which has been brought to light in prepara- tion for the George Washington Bicentennial celebration in 1892.
 When Washington died. histori- ans believe, there was no doubt in his mind that his body would be claimed as national property and suitably inferred in a national monument.
 'It is certain that Washington never gave even hint of his views or wishes, in regard to the disposition of his remains, except what is contained in his will" wrote George Washington Parke Custis, Washington's adopted son, in his "Recollections of Washing ton"
 He, no doubt, believed that his ashes would be claimed as na- tional property and entombed with national honors." Custis continues "hence his silence on the subject that has agitated the American people since his death."
 Custis remarks that "the high authorities of the nation begged his remains for public interment at the seat of national govern ment." Part of the resolution passed by congress read:
 Resolved by the senate and the house of representatives of the United States of America in con- gress assembled,
 "That marble monument be erected by the United States in the capitol, att he city of Wash ington. and that the family of General Washington be requested to permit his body to be deposited under it.; and that the monument be so designed as to commemorate the great events of his military and political life"
 President Adams followed con- gress' instructions and received a reply from Martha Washington saying that she had been taught by the great example which I have so long had before me never to oppose my private wishes to the public will" and that she was will ing to acquiesce regardless of the sacrifice of individual feeling must make to a sense of public duty" The only reservation Mar tha Washington made was that she should be entombed beside heI husband.

FASCIST IDEAS OF STATE USED
 IN NEW PEN CODE
Crime Character Given New Conception By
 Italian Laws

Rome. (UP)--The principle be- ] hind the elaboration of the new Italian penal code, which went into effect recently, derives from the Fascist conception of the state. That is to say, crime in all it's forms is considered in the new code in it's social and political character as well as in it's private relation. In the new code more stress is laid on the social character of the offense than under the old code.
 This is because Fascism con- siders the individual chiefly as a unit of the state-a unit that has it's own personal liberties up to 8 certain point but must forego them immediately they clash with the interests of the community.
 For instance, strikes and lock- outs are now offenses in Italy. while they are considered perfect lawful weapons of offense and de- fense nearly everywhere else. The reason is based on the contention that in these cases indivirual lib- cry of action exceeds it's preroga- tives and by combined action dam ages the community's interests.
 Notable Change
 Notable among the changes Is the reintroduction of the death penalty. Italy was one of the first nations to abolish capital punish ment. After 40 years she has re- sored in certain cases.
 Under the new code, capital punishment is extended to some other cases, as, for instance, slaughter in mass such as Is inn piled by letting off bombs and killing several people; brigandage when murder is committed, and also to certain common crimes which have an "atrocious' char acter and menace the safety and tranquility of the state.
 Many reforms have been intro- duced into the prison system by the new code. The fundamental concept of prison is still that 1t should be form of punishment, but the code sets out to organize the form of the Imprisonment in such a way that the time spent under restraint shall help to re- generate as far as possible the character and mentality of the prisoner.
 The changes in the prison sys- tenn include the aboliion of soli- tary confinement. the establish ment of the obligation o work, large extension of the practice or giving convicts outdoor work where possible.
 Minors are detained in estab- llshments which are not to have the appearance of prisons. Young offenders do not wear prison clothes under the new code. Another important reform Is the qualification of the concept of the "state's territory" This is now ex- tended to Italian ships and air. planes wherever they may be. A novelty in penal procedure Is the introduction of the system whereby finest are graduated. ac- cording to the pecuniary possibil- ities of the person condemned. The regular fine for certain offense as prescribed by law may be in- creased as much as three times Tn the case of persons of means.

vitamin A to the diet.

vitamin A to the diet.
 Apparently the Newfoundland CTS have found that the condition may be overcome by eating birds liver, cooked or raw, rabbits liver, cod's liver an cod liver oil. All of these substances contain vitamin A in considerable amounts.
 Strangely enough the natives have the custom of steaming the sore eyes over the cooking liver, which Is then eaten. French sur geaons, as long ago as 1911, de- scribed similar method of treat ment for sailors with night-blind- ness. Most of the cases of night blindness clear up few days after few meals of liver.
 In the body of a child before birth practically all of the vitamin A 1t has Is found in the liver. In the early months of growth the liver is very large and it tends to become smaller up to the time when the child is born.
