I do not think your game certainty will

attractive the distribution. As the latter
becomes less favorable, you need more
primary values to deliver the game, but
do not make the mistake Of giving the
jump-raise on a hand which calls for
a two or three no trump response, even
though you have four Of your partners

trump is the right declaration, but II
you make the wrong response you are
likely to get the declaration into the
wrong hand This will be bad in a
tournament where the loss of an OBJ
tainable overtrick is very serious. In
rubber play it will not matter much
unless it should actually cost you the
game, result which may well occur
on a close no-trump hand where the
opening lead decides your fate. These
several responses are especially pointed
and graded so as to direct no-trump
declarations to the right hand, and I
want you to make 1t habit to con-

S. c. DEPT. IS CALLED
Structure Occupied by Hard

Origin Unknown

A distress call came to the Sank
Centre Fire Department shortly af-
ter 200 o'clock Saturday morning,
from Grey Eagle. Chief George
Fish and six men responded
promptly, arriving about 2:30. They
found the two story frame, 40x6O
store building, covered with sheet
iron on the sides and ends and
occupied by the ]. ]. Smith hard
ware and implement business, a
seething mass of flames. The struc-
ture was located on a corner, one
of the old land marks of the vii
lage.
Aside from a couple Of small
chemicals, Grey Eagle is entirely
without fire protection. The Sank
Centre department was hampered
for water, the supply tank on the
pumper only carrying 80 gallons.
Willing hands carried water.
Sole attention was given to saving
adjacent property and the buildings
across the street. The heat was so
intense that the plate glass win

were broken.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Ut started in the rear room of the
store where the lubricating oils,
kerosene and high test gas was
stored. The rooms on the second
floor were unoccupied.
Mr.. Smith came to Grey Eagle
from Swanville about two years ago
where he had been in business for
many years, and established the
Grey Eagle store. His son con-
tinues the business at Swanville, it
is understood.
Mr.. Smith is well known in Sank
Centre He was raised at West
port, his father being section fore
man for the Northern Pacific at
Westport for many years.
The building was owned by
Adolph Schultz. He carried an in
surance policy of $1,000 on the
building, it is said. Mr.. Smith had
insurance of $1,000 on stock and
fixtures.
The store closed at about 1000
o'clock Saturday evening. Condi-
lions about the building were nor
NAL at that time. Mr.. Smith lived
at the northwest corner of the
block from where the store was To-
Gated.
Mr.. Smith has not definitely de-
cided whether he will re-enter bus
mess in Grey Eagle or not.

Community Meetings Will Be
With Federal Officials in
Short Time

Wheat growers of the various
counties Of Minnesota, including
Stearns, in a few days, will be con-
sidering at community meetings or
at informal conferences with county
agents and fellow farmers, one Of
the most important farm cooper
alive undertakings in the history
Of agriculture-thato of reducing the
acreage Of a major crop in order
to bring national production with
in the limits Of effective demand.
Meetings will certainly be held
in counties of large normal wheat
production. At informal confer
ences in counties Of relatively small
production it will be decided, prob
ably, whether a, county organiza-
ton preceded by community meet
ings is desirable. The expense Of
setting up a county program in
proportion to the possible benefits
win be the deciding factor. II no
county organization seems adyis-
able, some other way by which
farmers desiring it may participate
in the wheat production control
program win be provided.
Meetings and conferences win be
preliminary to the signing OF con-
tracts by wheat-growers, agreeing
to reduce their wheat acreages for
1884 and 1885 by not more than 20
per cent, in order to aid in reestab-
fishing the buying power Of wheat
on the basis Of that before the war
from 1909 to 1914.
The meetings win give farmers
an opportunity to get full and ex-

tails Of the plan, and to select three
community representatives, one of
whom will represent the commun-
ity in a county wheat production
control association and two Of
whom will look after the working
out of the plan in the community
itself. The county wheat control
association will have charge Of the
work throughout the county, but,
while waiting for the organization
Of this county association, the rep
resentatives selected by each COM
munity as a committee will at once
get to work, going over applications
Of wheat growers who wish to en-
ter into reduction contracts with
the government, and checking up
on the average production and acre
age Of applicants for the last three
years. It will be upon the basis
Of these averages that their individ-
ual allotments will be based. Thus
the communities will be ready
with complete data for the county
organization when 1t is ready TO
operate.
AS soon as the county associa-
ton is formed, it will elect an al
lotment committee of three men,
beers. It will be the duty of this
committee to go over all applica-
tions to make certain that the to-
tai production reported by cooperat-
ing farmers does not exceed the all

in the newspapers lists of farmers
applying for contracts, together
with their three-year average acre
age and production, and, later, q

Registration of the needy unem-
ployed in the city of Sank Centre,
under the recently enacted Federal
Emergency Relief Act, began Mon
day morning. Within the first
hour 20 men had registered and
had been certified out on work pro-
jects approved by the city council.
The Federal Emergency Relief
Act was signed by President Roose-
welt May II, 1888. 1t is designed to
empower the Federal government
to cooperate with the several
States and territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia in relieving the
suffering and hardship caused by
unemployment"
st. Cloud made application under
the act on June "a. On June 26 the
Federal Relief Administrator
Frank M. Roerig, appointed Mrs.
Emma Moynihan, of Sank Centre,
as Federal Administrator for
Stearns county, and offices were
opened Immediately in the Court
House at st. Cloud. Within ten
days 95S men had registered, OF
whom nearly 600 were approved
and placed at work on projects for
city improvement.
Since Stearns county is organized
on the town system, it is necessary
for each municipality to make sep
arate application, stating the num-
Der of families who have received
relief and the amount, the number
of unemployed, the amount of the
levy for poor relief, and the man
ner in which it has been expended
and the financial standing at the
time of application. These aplica-
tions are made to the Federal Re-
lief Administrat, Frank M. Roerig,
State Board of Control, st. Paul,
and to the recently appointed
Emergency Relief Committee, of
which Joseph Kokalkowski, of st.
Cloud is chairman. A grant for
emergency relief from the Federal
Government will depend entirely
upon the amount and kind of relief
given by the municipality during
the past year.
Very definite regulations govern
the granting of relief under the
Emergency Act. The section under
which Stearns County is now oper-
ating is direct relief. Municipalities
having difficulty in caring for the
needy are given Federal aid with
no matching principle. 1t is not a
loan and there is no intention Of
charging interest or repayment.
Under another section of the Act
a Public Works program will be in
augurated shortly which will even
tually take up the load now being
carried under the Direct Relief Sec
ton. A third section of the Act
provides for industrial recovery
through job replacement. The
plan whereby direct relief is issued
to the needy requires that the
bread winner of each family regis

Hearing to Settle
Truck r. r. Rates
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion Will Meet Interested
Factions July FL

st. Paul, Mimi, July ia pub
lie hearing that will be Of state
wide interest to truckers and which
will be attended by several hundred
truck operators and representatives
of railroad companies will be held
at the House Chamber in the State
Capitol, July q, at 1000 o'clock,
as a result of an order issued by
the Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission Monday.
The purpose of the hearing is
to consider the establishment Of
commodity rates. Since the order
of the Minnesota Railroad and
Warehouse Commission of June %,
1888, establishing rates for truckers
under Chapter ITO, Laws Of Mime
sofa, the new truck regulatory act,
numerous requests have been re-
ceived from truck operators for au-
thority to continue the scale Of
rates in force before the new truck
law went into effect, or for the es-
tablishment of commodity rates.
For this reason the commission
decided to hold a general hearing
and give all truckers and shippers
an opportunity to present argu-
ments and evidence.
Among the truckers that are APP
plying for changes in the new rates
are those that have been hauling
for creamery companies, packers
and chain store companies. They
say that unless they are permitted
to reduce their rates to the level
prevailing before July 1, 1888, the
creameries, packers and chain
stores will purchase their own
trucks for the transportation Of
their merchandise.
