Stearns Cattle AL
most Free of T. B.
Accredited Rating for Three Years
Will Be Effective In County
April

Stearns county will have rat.
ing of modified tuberculosis free
by April 1 as a result of the re-
cent second tuberculosis test OF
cattle throughout the county. This
information was contained in a
letter just received by County
Auditor Nicholas Thomey. The
letter was written by Charles E
Cotton, secretary and executive Of
lcer of the State Livestock SAM
tary board, under whose auspices
the tuberculosis tests are conduct
ed.
The recent test of 1872 herds in
the county, containing 101 ,696 cat
tie, found only ITO reactors, or a
percentage of IT of one per cent
These reactors were disclosed in
116 herds, and the herds have been
quarantined. The quarantine does
not prevent the sale of milk OF
milk products, but does prevent
the sale of cattle without permit
from the state board. The infected
cattle have been removed.
An accredited rating is specified
where the percentage of infection
is less than 5 of one percent. The
rating declares the county to be
modified tuberculosis free, and is
effective for three years. The rat
ing is obtained through mem
orandum prepared in the office of
the state live stock sanitary board
and signed by the chief of the fed
eral bureau of animal industry.
After the county has become &C.
credited the expense of future
county wide tests will be borne by
the state. Some of the expense of
the re-test of the present infected
herds, though, must be borne by the
county. The state will furnish field
men to make such re-tests and the
re-tests will be made at intervals
until every herd in the county has
at least one completely negative
test. The county must assist in the
carrying out of the quarantine pro-
visions.

ment Is Larger

Total Distribution $1,125,OOO
More Than Last Year

Stearns county will receive sub
stantial increase in it's share of the
gas tax fund this year. The figures
set by the State Board of Allot-
ment last week is $69,500 compared
to SIS, 900 a year ago.

fund through the one mill levy.
The total allotment of gas tax aid
to the counties this year is $4,325,-
600, compared to $3,200,000 year
ago. One-third of gas tax receipts
which goes to the counties is esti-
mated at $4,000 this year and to
this is added $725,OO0 caused by an
excess of receipts over the estimate
used in making the allotment last
year. The total allotted from the
one mill tax fund for state aid high
ways is 81, 897, 900, compared to ST.
$4,000 in 1881, the decrease being

Peculiar Signs on Gold Beads
 Ciue Science Clue to Deposits
 Of Platinum and Rare Metals
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE (Associaed Press Science Editor

HOUGHTON, Mich, July II. =
 Little gold and silver beads made
 at the Michigan College of Min
 ing & Technology furnish a new
 clue to deposits of rare metals in the west and southwest. The metals are platinum and its still rarer relatives, ruthenium, rho dium, palladium, asmium and iridt- un1. These are mostly newcomers in commercial mining, but all po- tential prosperity builders.
 They occur in many ores mixed with gold or silver, especially with gold, but are so diffused that their existence, even in paying quanti- ties, has been as difficult 10 de- tect as a needle in a haystack, Process Reveals Rare Metals
 The Michigan Tech discovery is that every one of the platinum metals will write its own peculiar sign upon a gold or a silver bead made by a certain easy process. These autographs reveal both the presence of the rare metal and an accurate idea of how much there is. The sign reading was largely developed by J. L. Byers of the metallurgy faculty.
 The beads are droplets of gold or silver slightly smaller than match heads They are made by heating highly purified things of the ore to be tested
 If there is any ruthenium in the gold, even as little as one-tenth of one per cent, the surface of the bead will show somewhere a small, coruscant dark blue spot, tiny crystal of ruthenium diox- idle.
 These blue spots spread like moss on a stump according to the per- centage of ruthenium. Always they show first at the bottom of the gold droplet. AS the amount of rare metal increases, the blue encrustation spreads upward. With two per cent of rutheniunn in the ore, the blue mantel entirely cov- CTS the gold.
 Rhodium Changes Color of Bead
 Rhodium signalizes it's presence not by an encrustation, but by changing the color of gold bead to an iridescent reddish purple. 7 That shade is the index for about two per cent of rhodium. The col or of old rose means about two- tentlEs of one per cent.
 Palladium gives the gold a some what pebbled surface, warps the spherical smoothness and yields colors ranging from brilliant gold to a silvery bronze. All the var iations indicate fairly definitely the padadium percentage
 Osmium and iridium show their presence by causing dimples to form in the surfaces of gold beads. The dirnples are accompanied by 3 lacy fretwork as the rare metal content increases. At high per ,entages the bead will not hold to- yether, and falls in fragments.

(By The Associated Press)
 The larger chart shown above representing the swing in actual business activity from 1920 to date shows that activity declined again in May, as in April, despite greater than average improvement in car production and building construc- ton.
 The chart, prepared by the Ma tional Industrial Conference Board from the statistics of the Confer ence of Statistics in Industry, dis closes that the volume of activity in May was roughly the same as that reached during the low period in the 1920-21 depression.
 The smaller charts show the rate Of activity in 1881 and 1882 to date. Automobile production gained 20 per cent in May over April, when a decline usually occurs at this season. Similarly building con- struction improved 20 per cent when a five per cent decline is us- ual
 Other indicators, however, re- duced the effects of these gains. Output of steel and iron declined more than is normal to new low levels. Shipments of anthracite were sharply curtailed. Electric power produced in May declined again by a more than seasonal amount, although slight inn provement has been observed dur ing the first half of June.
 The dollar value of department stores sales in May declined by four per cent under April, all though a two per cent increase is usual. Wholesale prices fell two per cent, Preliminary estimates of employment in manufacturing iil- dustries reveal a more than nor mai decline under April.
 Altogether, the conferences found, the further decline in business showed no slowing up in the rate of contraction. The levels of ac- tiyity in a few major fields are less. than half of what they were a year ago. Consumer purchasing power continued to subside, al though a slight advance is normal at this time.
