Al CLUB NEWS
Edited by
Nate Il. Bovee, County Agent

All club enrollments are coming IN
rapidly. All indications point to a
good year for them. 1t seems that
the youngsters of Minnesota are de-
termined to show their Dads that the
best way to beat depression is to get
together and saw wood. The first
thing they learn is to get together.
Then they get so busy that they don't
miss a lot Of things that they can do
without. When one considers that the
Minnesota yield Of boys and girls re-
presents $4,000 hard working Al
club youngsters, it is apparent that
their efforts will carry more weight
every year. These $4,000 boys and
girls would require 40 acre field
IN which to- hold a convention. In
cidentally, Redwood county would be
a good place for such a convention
so as to insure themselves against
stickers from Canadian thistles.
Or these $4,000 boys and girls,
Joined together hand in hand would
make one line more than % miles
long. Imagine line of youngsters
from the Sanborn corner to Redwood
Falls. If one were trying to get
around that line in one of the old
Model T Fords with the customary
number of plugs or coils on vacation,
ut would look like lot of boys and
sgirls. A group like this will surely
have something to say about Mime
sofa agriculture.

Remedies Taught by Indian
Lore Displayed at u Of M
Medicine Men Utilized Many Trees
and Herbs in Treatment
Crude Tools

Minneapolis, Nov. 8-A unique
exhibition of drugs and medicine
plants that were introduced to civil
lied used by adoption from the In
dams was arranged and displayed
in the College Of Pharmacy of the
University of Minnesota recently,
the work of Professor Earl B. Fish
er, head of the department of
pharamacognosy. In all more than
200 medicinal plants have been
identified as contributions of the
red man to modern pharmaceutical
science. The display was intended,
also, as a model for possible window
display in pharmacies.
Many of the plants used in the
exhibit are known to everyone.
There was, for example, the cascara
plant, widely used in medicine; the
bark Of the wild cherry, an ex-
pectorant and sedative; golden sal,
an Indian remedy; slippery elm,
used in poultices and as an emol-
lient, and tobacco, the pharamaceut-
ical use of which is an insecticide,
rather than as a human medicine.
Jalap, a cathartic used by the
Indians of Central America, and
yerba santa, also used by those In
dams to disguise the taste of bad
tasting medicines, were found in
the collection. Sarsaparilla, which
used to take it's place alongside
sulphur and molasses as one of the
celebrated spring tonics" was
shown, as were senega or snake
root, lobelia, or Indian tobacco, an
emetic, and spigelia or pink root,
vermifuge. ..- ..s~,...- -. 80
Spearmint, sassafras, blue ko-
hosh, sumac, an astringent, hops,
and bloodroot were others in the
list of remedies taken from the In
dian medicine men or medicine
woman. Also on the list were poke
root, juniper berry, wintergreen,
may apple, ladys slipper, spike
nard, the bark of butternut, white
oak, Jimsonweed and boneset, IA
nous ingredient Of boneset tea.
With his other materials DR..
Fischer displayed some remedies he
personally obtained from an Indian
medicine woman at Grand Marais.
These turned out to be peppermint
and yarrow, which were used Tor
headaches, taken by inhaling. A
crude medical implement, an inhal-
ator, obtained from this woman,
was shown. He also had on display
a flint disc, obtained near LeSueur,
Mimi, which the Indians used to
scrape the SKULL remedy for
headaches. Whether it removed
the aura of evil spirits or caused so
great a countersuffering that the
patient forgot the original pain, DR..
Fischer has not made up his mind.

GROWING WITH YOUR CHILD
II WON'T"

The child who says Il won't" has
a mother who says you will"
Vernon, aged four-and-a-half, is
playing a fascinating game with his
toy truck. Suddenly mothers voice,
harsh and peremptory, tells him to
stop doing that at once and come
wash his hands for supper. Vernon
doesn't in the least want to do that.
He, pretends not to hear. g..
Mother tell him again-and
again, her tone growing harsher
and more exasperated each time.
IF you don't obey me at once, you
can go straight to your room and
stay there!" ,.~
Il WON'T" declares Vernon, his
face reddening. And the clash of
wills is on.
But on another day mother isn't
so busy, so tired, so impatient.
Time to put the truck in the ga
rage now, Vernon, while the deliV-
eryman eats his supper" An Yer
non grins and comes promptly; he
hasn't been asked to stop the game.
So much of this kind of rebellion
can be avoided; so much unneces-
sary emotional strain saved both
child and mother by little fore
thought, little self-control. Warn

time, enter into his make-believe,

pleasant voice, expect obedience,

mands on him. ............

noring mothers commands = is
nearly always found among young
sters whose mothers are constant
ly nagging them, screaming to
them all day long to get down
from that fence" or "stop that at
once!" Then when no one pays any
attention to her, she goes serenely
on with what she Is doing. She
doesn't really expect to be obeyed;
her children were not taught from
babyhood up that mother means
what she says-in fact, they know
she doesn't ever really carry out
her threats; that she forbids a
thing one day and condones in the
next. And the children have be-
come mother deaf" as a defense
against her harsh voice, her con-
slant nagging.
Children reflect the self-control
of their parents. In study of
temper tantrums carried on at the
Institute of Child Welfare, it was
found that the children who very
rarely displayed anger had moth
ers who did not "give in" when the
children did indulge in tantrum;
who did not make unthinking de-
mands on their children (they did
not interrupt a ball game to send
a boy to the store three times when
they might have made one errand
of it); they did not insist on routine
at the expense of everything else,
and they did not shout or nag at
the children. These children re-
fiected such self-control to a sur
prising degree.
The fourteen-year-old who says IT

lem. It may be that he has ac-
quired the habit in early childhood
and that, as he gets older he DOM
mates the situation more and more.

Only Federal Taxes Go to Pay
for Veteran Benefits

That the National Economy
League "howI'' comes from thu
very wealthy class which pays four
fths of the federal income tax, and
that only the federal taxes are used
to-, finance veterans benefits, is
stressed by c. A Zwiener, of St.
Paul, state Legion adjutant, in a
message just mailed to the 1853
Minnesota posts.
Most of the talks, magazine ar
ticles and other propaganda intend
ed to make folks believe that vast
sums of money are being improper
ly used in behalf of world war vet
Grams, originate from the National
Economy League" Mr.. Zwiener's
statement declares.
These articles he adds, "try to
make folks believe that veterans
benefits have increased all their
taxes, state and local as well as
federal, wherets only the federal
taxes are affected by the govern
rnent's generosity to the veterans"
(. Attention is called in the state
adjutant's message, to the alleged
declaration of the Economy League
that "the object Of the National
Economy League is to reduce our
local state and federal taxes at
least rs per cent" and to the con-
Trajectory statement which is said
to have appeared in a recent maya
zine, quoting the National Economy
secretary as declaring that 1.-THE
only thing the Economy League
wishes reduced is the benefit money
paid to veterans
"While the Economy League
would have us believe that all our
taxes are high because of the bene-
fits paid to veterans, the fact is that
only the federal taxes are involv-
ed" said Mr.. Zwiener, land while
the federal taxes decreased between
1921 and 1880 by 81, 437 OO0,0 900 state
and local taxes increased by $685.
