Beer Was Known as Far
Back as History Goes

Gambrinus was real person, says
the Indianapolis News. He was
duke of Brabant in the Thirteenth
century and derived his title from
Jan Primus on January 1. The myth
ical Gambrinus was credited with
the invention of beer, but the rec
ord fails to substantiate the story.
Beer was known when the Egyp-
tians were making queer-looking
characters on papyrus, and writings
Of the time of Seti l (14OO B. c.
mention a citizen who became in
toxicated on it. The Greeks, who
had two words for it. learned about
brewing from the Egyptians, the
Romans experimental with matted
liquors and the early Germans be-
came fond of brew. Originally the
Greeks and the Romans, loyal to the
grape, despised beer as a drink Of
the barbarians. Pliny noted that
beer was plentiful in Spain, and
wrote that 80 exquisite is the cum
ming Of mankind in gratifying their
vicious appetites that they have thus
invented a method to make water
itself produce intoxication." The
natives of South Africa knew about
brewing as far back as history
goes.

Dream Opals Carved by
Craftsman of Long Ago

Many years ago there was a
craftsman who made ornaments for
lovely ladies. Slim wrists of ORR
entail dancers sparkled with his
handiwork, regal heads were hung
with creations of his dreams of
beauty. But of all the jewels with
which he worked the one he loved
the most was the opal.
One day he found an opal of
great size and price. 1t was as large
as his closed hand. lustrous as the
star above the crescent moon, and
luminous with elusive fires. He
would make of this opal, he thought,
the most perfect jewel he had ever
made, so that seekers Of beauty
would see and wonder.
With reverence he worked, as he
carved his dreams into the shifting
colors, until he had fashioned a
bracelet fit to adorn the loveliest
lady of all time. That was so many
years ago that most Of the legends
have been forgotten, and the crafts
mans jewels are sealed in undiscov-
cred tombs.

IF the state laws in this re-
spect need reinforcing, game and
fish officials will be the first to

wholesale number of arrests dur
ing the current hunting season
with record number of violations
would seem justification enough for
wardens to search all cars having
hunters in them. A large number

ally taken has been taken over by

A resolution adopted by the Mar

Making Images of Buddha

In line with the process used by
the Japanese to induce pearls to
grow within the shells of oysters by
the insertion Of small bits of a for
eign substance that eventually be-
comes pearl coated is the method
employed in creating the sacred
clam shells that Chinese Buddhists
believe to have a miraculous origin.
These curious shells have small fat
images of Buddha appearing as
raised designs on their inner sur
faces. The images have the same
pearly luster of the shell Innings and
are really part of the Innings,
showing no break or joint. In max
ing one of these curios a clam shell
is pried open for the insertion of
a thin metal image. 1t is then closed
and the clam returned to the water
where it is left until enough new
shell has been formed to cover the
image with varnish of pearl thick
enough to hide the metal, at the
same time fastening it to the shell.

Indian Drought Legends
Like Stories of Bible

Many legends of the southwestern
Indians bear striking similarity to
stories of Biblical times. For In
stance, there is the story of great
drought when the hummingbird
found food.
The people had begun to lose their
faith in the Great Mother who ruled
the universe. They turned from
her teachings and her ways to fol-
low their own desires and the moth
er, in order to punish them, took the
clouds out Of the sky and put them
away and soon the land became
parched and suffering became wide
spread.
For four years no rain fell and
all entreaties to the mother failed
to awaken any response. All efforts
to locate her were futile. Only the
hummingbird knew. To the hum
mingbird the mother gave instruc-
lions that her place Of concealment
should be kept secret and in return
for preserving the secret the hum
mingbird was permitted to visit
Shipap, place of origin and final
resting place of the dead, where it
was able to draw the honey from
the flowers and satisfy their thirst.
After four years Of suffering, dur
ing which many died, the people
finally learned the truth that the
source of all food and water was
the mother, and when this truth
was completely impressed upon
them the rain returned and rejoic-
ing was great throughout the land
as the refreshing showers brought
relief.

Fish With Sheep Teeth

The sheepshead, one of the most
valuable food fishes Of the United
States, derives it's name not from
the shape Of its head, but from its
teeth, which resemble those of a
sheep to an amazing degree. The
fish varies in weight from two
pounds to about fifteen. Its teeth
are used to grind up the shells of
the shellfish, upon which it feeds
principally. Young oysters, barna-
cles, mussels and similar crusta-
cean are its favorite food. The
fresh-water drum is a type of
sheepshead.

Fear of Pain Saves Us
From Many False Steps

Mother Nature, for our preserva.
ton and safety, has hedged the trail
from the cradle to the grave with
pain. Pain Is beneficial because 1t
stands guard over our lives to pro-
tect us from penalties Of broken nat.
ural laws. Were it not for pain,
observes writer in the New York
WOrld-Telegram, few children would
grow up with all their fingers. The
Canada thistle beside the cowpath
keeps the barefoot boy inside the
straight and narrow way as he
drives the cows down at night.
Prickers on blackberry bushes re-
mind us that we cannot thOughtless-
ly gather the fruits of earth. Strong
teeth on the smilax vine remind evil
doors that though the jungle offers
sanctuary it is not to be received
without due respect. The fear Of
pain is the well-spring Of sagacity.
fOrethought. careful living. Eating
green apples in Eden caused dis
tresses that have come down the
ages and made millions Of men and
women eaters of legitimately ripened
fruit. In the quick pain that fol-
lows the breaking of natural law
probably lies the root of conscience,
that unwritten code within each hu-
man breast upon which civilization,
trade, government, banking and a
thousand other human institutions
are founded. The rights Of others
and the obligation to observe them
are enforced by the poison ivy be-

Pres. Roosevelt Urged By
Governors to Fix Prices
Farm Bureau Plays Important

Meeting

Solidly united behind the program
of their governors, generals farm
organizations of ten Midwest states
are pledged to work together for a
radically different type of farm re-
lief than has ever before received
official sanction, according to Of
ficers of the Minnesota Farm Bur-
eau Federation.
The backbone of the plan, as de-
veloped at the governors confer
ence at DesMoines last week, is
immediate price fixing and market
ing allotment regulation by presi-
Dental edict. Other recommends
tons, to be made directly to Pres
ident Roosevelt, by committee of
governors, include an executive en-
barge on competitive foreign i'm
ports, strictly controlled imitation
and liberal expansion of federal
farm credit facilities at low interest
rates.

leading part in the meeting of gov
errors and farm leaders, went to

''Movie" Dogs Must Have Souls

Movie Dogs Must Have Souls
A celebrated trainer of dogs for
movie purposes, and the first man
to produce dog operas" says that
his dogs are all hand picked.
'There are just two points I take

eyes must show that 1t has a soul.
Second, it must have q broad head,
sufficient to encase q good sized

shows that he needs only a friend.

do anything you command him to

Yellow of Eye Most Sensitive

The blind spot Of the retina of
the eye where the optic nerve en-
tiers is familiar to most persons as
being a spot on the retina where
there is no sensibility to light. Yet
each eye has yellow spot, points
out director of the Better Vision
institute, which is in the center of
the retina and which is most sensi-
tive to light of the entire retina. It
is with this spot that our vision is
directed" he says in an article in
the Salt Lake Tribune. IF we fix
our eye on line Of printed mat
ter, the center Of the line is dis
tinctly and sharply seen, but the
words toward thte end Of the line
are vague.

Relief Committee
Has Been Active
Local Organization Has Secured
Tons of Feed for Farmers
More Will Come

The emergency agricultural COM
mfttee of the Sank Centre Com
munity Club, which was organized
early in July, has found plenty of
different lines of agricultural ac-
tivities in which the committee has
taken part. But early in it's life
the drouth relief situation took
form and this activity has almost
submerged everything else because
of the extent and scope of the work.
This committee has been able to
furnish valuable and much needed
relief to several hundred farmers
in the district comprising some
twenty townships. The western
part of Stearns county is pretty
well covered in this work as is also
the southern part of Todd county,
which latter county has no drouth
nor hail relief.
Funds for this work are coming
from the state executive council
but the demand is so great that the
committee hopes to be able to Sc
cure federal funds also. There are
three drouth relief committees or
councils operating under the main
emergency agricultural committee,
these three being situated at Sank
Centre, Brooten and Belgrade. The
state funds allow maximum of
500 for any one farmer and with
an estimated number of $50 appli-
cations already received, this would
entail an expenditure of $4,000 if
each one were to obtain his full
quota of 500.
Owing to the enormous amount
of detail work required, the local
committee has had difficult time.
There has not as yet been sufficient
feed furnished in order to supply
deserving farmers as fast as the ap-
plications are passed upon. To date
the district has received something
more than 5000 worth of feed
which is somewhat more than was
originally expected would be avail
able for the entire winter. 1t is
evident that it will be necessary
for the committee to- obtain more
than the districts quota if all needy
farmers are to receive aid.
While the feed is coming through
slowly the committees chief con-
Germ is to obtain more relief. The
winter is hardly started and the
feed which is supplied to save the
country's foundation stock, will be
needed more during the severe win
ter months than it is now. This is
the first winter in the history of
Stearns county when feed has been
in any great demand to save foun-
dation stock. Stearns county very
rarely needs to call for any help

committee of governors, to present
the Midwest's farm relief program
to President Roosevelt.
Farm organizations represented
at the conference were the farm
bureau, Central Cooperative Asso-
citation. The Farmers Union and
the Farm Holiday Association. The
Minnesota Farm Bureau was repre-
scented by A. ]. Olson, president,
and j. s.. Jones, secretary. Recon-
mendations as finally adopted on
Oct. 81, at the close of the two
day conference, were in complete
accord with farm bureau views.
The conference was fatty appos-
ed to striking as means of better
ing farm conditions. Governor o.
son took a firm stand against the
farm strike movement in his ques-
tioning of strike leaders, and he
gave warning that state embargoes
would ruin the co-operatives thru
which farmers market their COM
modities and would destroy East
ern markets that they have lab
ored 20 establish.
Strike leaders indicated that they
would use their influence to call off
the farm strikes that have broken
out a number of points in the mid
west during the past two weeks.
If recommendation of the gov
errors are accepted by the nation
al administration, farm prices will
be pegged at a point that will give
farmers a profit on their opera
tons. This is an emergency meas
ure fully warranted by precedents
established by the MIRA, the presi-
dent of the Minnesota farm bureau
asserts.

The Continents

Europe, Asia and Africa are usu-
ally classed as separate continents,
even though Europe and Asia COM
prise one great land mass, Eurasia.
To these must be added North
America, South America and Aus
tralia. Some authorities add a sew
enth continent, Antarctica, the land
mass around the South pole. A con-
tinent is defined as one of the great
divisions of land on the globe, diff
fering from an island or peninsula
not only in it's size but in it's struc-
ture, which is that of a large basin
bordered by mountain chains.

Several exceptions to the DeKruif

Also thorocoplasty by which sever

The physicians also object to the
DeKruif assertion that the Amer
ican medical profession has been
slow to make use of the advances
in surgical treatment of tubercu-
losis.
"Evidently De Kruif is under the
impression that this type of treat

institutions scattered over the coun-

had to wait for safety and prac-
ticability until technique of making
chest X-rays had developed suffic-
iently for the surgeon to study the
diseased lung and guide his course

fails to mention the important part
X-ray has played in the proper use
of collapse therapy. He also fails
to mention that early diagnosis by
means of the tuberculin test to dis
cover infection before it has de-
veloped to the stage of demon

the ultimate saving of life.'

State Pawnshops

Chile is one of the few countries
in the world where the government
acts as official pawnbroker to its
citizens. The Gaia de Credito Pop
ular, the state pawnshop, has COM
pleted several years Of activity. 1t
was founded during the regime of
President Carlos Ibanez, whose ad-
ministration was marked by a
strong tendency toward state social
ism. The Gaia de Credito Popular
was first organized because the gov
eminent felt that cheaper credit
facilities should be offered its citi-
zens.
