LEAP YEAR is HERE

Again it behooves the single male
to tread carefully, for 1892 is leap
year and according to time honored
custom the more dangerous of the
species is allowed the privilege of
popping the question. Leap Year, ac-
cording to some, was inaugurated by
Saint Patrick. Be that as it may, the
facts reveal that in 1888 a law was
passed in Scotland which allowed
women and girls the right to ask the
hand of their favorite man in mar
riage and he was compelled to ac-
cept on the penalty of fine if he was
not already engaged. Such penalties
do not exist today but the unmarried
male had best tread carefully during
the coming year unless he wants to
be caught in the tolls of matrimony.
Watch out boys, it's leap year.

BRUNO SCHOOL NOTES
High School.

The basketball teams split double
night. The girls lost by the close
score of 20 to IS; and the boys won
by a score of IL to Z. Both games
were fast and exciting throughout. At
the end of the first quarter the Bruno
girls led by score of 4 to 3, but
at half time Barnum held the advan-
tage to s. The second half was a
furious battle and at the final whistle
Barnum had the small margin of two
points. The total number of field
goals scored by each team was the
same, but Barnum succeeded in loop
ing two more free throws than the
local girls. The Barnum boys, unable to
accustom themselves to the low cell
ing, missed several short shots and
had to be content with one field goal
during the game. Their other points
came on free throws. Bruno counted
four field goals and three free throws.
At the end of the first half Bruno led
to 3, but early in the second half Bar
mum knOtted the count at Z all. Bruno
counted four more points and held the
visitors Scoreless until the end of the
game.
On Tuesday, Jan. 10, the Bruno
teams will meet Willow River on the
local court. These should prove to
be equally as interesting as the Bar
mum games. Don't miss them.

GRAIN GRADING
LOng Prairie Leader)

The so-called Elevator NJ" suit now
in progress has disclosed elevator
practices in mixing grain to increase
grades which while common, seems
hardly fair to the producers. 1t seems
that through skillful mixing of in
feriOr grades with higher grades,
most all wheat can be made to grade
higher No. 1 hard wheat has to
weigh IS pounds to the bushel and to
measure certain standard in moist
ure and freedom from foul stuff.
Wheat slightly underweight when mix
ed with wheat that is overweight, can
be made to test No. 1. Likewise wheat
that is dirty or that is over the limit
in moisture can be changed through
mixing. Thus it is that the great bulk
of northwest wheat eventually is made
to sell at No. 1 prices, regardless of
what the farmer got for the grain at
the country elevator. OF course, ii
takes skill in mixing and requires eX
pensive elevator equipment but it can
be done and it is the regular prac-
tice to thus boost grades. This of
higher wheat prices for the elevator
men doing the work. The farmer pro-
Queer gets little enough for his prod
uct anyway, so it would seem that
he should share in the profits of this
mixing process. The elevator men
render service, to be sure, but the
farmer furnishes the raw material and
it is hardly fair to deprive him of
grades that would bring him better
prices merely because he has not the
facilities or the quantity of grain to
engage in the mixing process. Per
haps out of this Elevator Nj investiga-
ton can come some sort of construct
i've suggestions to pay farmers for
grain on basis of final grades instead
of farm grades. That would be a
measure of real relief to the wheat
growers.

JULIUS R0SFNWALD
Capital Times, MadisOn)

In the untimely death of Julius
Rosenwald, famed Chicago philanthro-
pist. a truly great man has passed on.
From the smallest of beginnings, Mr..
Rosenwald became one of the greatest
business figures in the nation, and
yet with all his success, he never lost
the kindly, sympathetic interest in the
unfortunate and lOwly that has made
his name world renowned.
During his eventful lifetime of 50
years, Mr.. Rosenwald gave away mil
lions upon millions of dollars, endOw-
ing this or that charitable institution,
aiding the children of the poor to Sc
cure an education, or otherwise help
ing those to whom society has been
least generous. To members of his
own race julius ROsenwald was an
Jews were an example to men of all
races to help their own people.
But the philanthropy of Mr.. Rosen-
valid was not bounded by race, re-
ligiOn, or other considerations. He
gladly bestowed his millions where he
felt they would do the most good, and
the grateful poor of all nationalities
and creeds will long hold his name
in high esteem.
How easy it would have been for
this great business genius to have
emulated so many men of huge wealth
and piled up colossal fortune by
boarding instead of giving. Had he
been a greedy man, he might have
been a financial figure equal in sta
ture to a Morgan, Rockefeller, or
a Mellon. But he would have been
known for his wealth alone, not for
his good works. The world today
would not be paying him the tribute
it is.
julius Rosenwald was great man.
He was great, not because of his
large fortune, but because of sympa-
thy and affection for his fellow man
and the generous manner in which
he distributed his wealth to relieve
their distress.

A GOOD BILL, BUT
(The State News)

Senator Henrik Shipstead has pres
ented a bill in Congress, which, if
enacted into law, would prohibit per-
sons holding an appointive govern
ment office from serving in any con-
nection with any convention, caucus,
or primary having as its aim the
nomination of a candidate for presi-
dent or vice president. If this pro-
posed bill became law, it would
knock the props out from under the
Hoover organization, which is built
almost entirely upon the patronage at
its disposal. For this reason, and for
none other, it is safe to predict that
the Shipstead bill will get nowhere
in the present Congress, despite the
fact that it has considerable merit.
