Docking, Trimming Lambs

A large number of demonstra-
tons have been put on by the
county agent showing the better
method of docking and trimming
lambs. These demonstrations are
part of the county extension pro-
gram to improve the quality Of
lambs sent to market from Stearns
county. Later in the summer DEM
onstrations in the grading and selec-
ton Of lambs to be marketed will
also be put on in various COM
munities. At these demonstrations
the choice lambs ready to sell will
be segregated from the medium
and common lambs that need fur
Their finishing. Lambs grow under
a heavy crop of fleece and few peo-
pie are able to determine which
ones have plenty of condition and
which ones lack the same.
Over 40 per cent of the lambs
marketed from Stearns county are
discounted at the market for one
or all Of the following three rea-
sons-lack of condition, being trim
med and the presence of tails. This
discount varies from $1.00 to $500
per 100 pounds and with top lambs
ranging from $500 to $500 per 100
pounds such a discount represents
a big loss in cash returns. These
losses are easily avoided and every
lamb producer should get market
top for his lambs. The market

Sight Is Injured When
"Cross-Eye" Is Neglected
Doctors In Bulletin Advise Glasses
for Small Babies If Squint
Develops Then

st. Paul, May 8-What is the
real underlying cause of squirt.
Doctors of the Minnesota State
Medical Association say today that
they cannot offer any satisfactory
explanation for this serious ocular
defect.
Eye squint or "convergent strab-
ismus," to call it by it's technical
name, may be the result of poor
vision. Or poor vision may follow
the squint. In any case, say the
doctors, cross eyes, left incorrect
ed, will surely destroy sight in the
squirting eye.
ANY eye must be used If it is
to be useful" the doctors declare
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1933-05-11

in this bulletin. "In the case of
cross eyes, the mind refuses to reg
lister images reflected into the
squirting eye. This automatic cor
rection of unbalanced vision elini-
mates confusion of images. But
it also places strain upon the
good eye and is fatal to retention
of sight in the squirting eye I'M
less proper exercises and proper
fitting with glasses correct the
squint and permit use of the eye.
Some children suffer from de-
fective vision at birth and in many
of these squint develops very early,
sometimes before the tenth month.
In these cases, physicians often
prescribe glasses for babies under
IL months of age with very good
results. Glasses can be worn by
young babies, as readily as any
article of clothing. .1
"Other children do not develop
a noticeable squint until later and
often they do not come to the
doctor for help until the child is
eight or ten years of age. By this
time serious damage may have
been done"
The best hope for correcting
squint lies in the earliest possible
treatment, according to the bulle-
tin. If the child is properly fitted
with glasses, then, the irregularity
can be corrected without operation
and sight may be completely re-
stored to the squirting eye. In any
case, undue strain should be remov-
ed from the good eye which is bear
ing the burden of both.
Sometimes the doctor hears from
mother that she was told to wait
until the child was eight OF ten
years old before getting glasses.
Members of the Public Health Ed
ucation Committee warn mothers
in this bulletin that the time to
fit a child with glasses is the very
moment the squirt appears, no
matter how young the child may be.

satisfy European demands for Sc
curity. Yet since the debts ques-
ton has been injected into the in
ternational conversations, the Presi-
dent, in the face of expressed con-
gressional objections, seems bent on
meeting the challenge in some way,
and answer bargain with bargain
if necessary.
The French cabinet voted yester-
day against paying it's defaulted
December payment without assur-
ance that the forthcoming June in
stallment would be postponed.
From London came indications thf
British might insist upon post
ponment as the price of joining in
the tariff truce suggested by Mr..
Roosevelt. 5.sa s'.6
These advices were received with
out comment at the White House
and state department, but some
quarters expressed concern lest a
deadlock over debts endanger the
success of the London economic
conference.
Whether the President will send
any debt proposal to congress, is
problematical, but in any event it
seems unlikely that he will make
promises for a postponement of
June Is payments. The action ov-
erseas apparently has tended to
solidify congressional opposition to
such pledges.

Two Former Residents
Buried in This City

When Mrs. Bromenschenkel re-
turned to the city with the remains
of her husband Sunday evening it
was her first visit to the old home
in 81 years.
Four children were born to Mr..
and Mrs. Bromenschenkel, all liv-
ing: Leroy, Walter, Alice and Ed
win.
Mr.. Bromenschenkeps last visit
to this city was three years ago
when his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Bromenschenkel, celebrated
their golden wedding anniversary.
For a dozen years after they
moved West the deceased was en-
gagged in farming. Then he moved
to Billings. At the time of his
death he was engaged in the ice
and ice cream business.
Besides the wife and children, his
aged father, John, he is survived
by the following brothers and sis
tiers: Sister Edwina, st. Cloud Hos
pital; Nick, Mrs. Henry Miller,
Alex, Herbert, aid of Sank Centre;
Anton, Minneota; Frank, Sank
Centre; Mrs. Fred Botz, Grey
Eagle; Edward, Elrosa; Louis, Min
neota; Arthur and Mrs. Lambert
Orth, Sank Centre.
The funeral was held from st.
Pauls Catholic church Tuesday,
May 9, 1888, at 900 A. M, conduct
ed by the pastor, Msgr. Plachta.
The remains were laid to rest in
the family plot in st. Paul's ceme-
terry, east of the city.
The pallbearers were: John
Mondloch, George Sieben, Henry
Borgmann, George Strauss, Frank
Minette and Tony Miller. Fritz Mi

Com. Elsberg Discusses
New Route Prospects
Reduced Revenue Will Prevent
Any Routes Added BY
Legislature

Announcement of rigid econ
omy program which will effect all
activities of the State Highway de-
partment was made by N. w. Els
berg, highway commissioner, in a
statement discussing prospects of
the states taking over the $500
miles of new trunk routes added
by the legislature!
Tentative budgets prepared by all
divisions of the Highway depart
ment, Notwithstanding severe cuts
in their estimates, show balance
of only $135, 900 above fixed ex-
penses, without any allowance for
maintenance Of the additional
routes, either in the cities or the
country, Mr.. Elsberg said.
However, Commissioner Elsberg
is not yet satisfied that these bud
get estimates are final. They will
be studied item by item to deter
mine If further reductions cannot
be made. Until this study has
been completed, and until the ques-
ton Of Federal aid for highways is
settled, it will be impossible to say
definitely just how the $500 miles
of new trunk routes, including $50
miles in cities of the. first class,
will fare, he explained. He is
hopeful that some aid can be given
the new routes, but will not plan
such help unless funds are def
nitely in sight.
"One thing is certain" Commits
sioner Elsberg said, land that is
that we will not authorize expendi-
ture of any money in 1888 for new
construction unless Federal aid is
received. The contracts let in
1882 must be carried out, but no
additional work can be permitted
because Of the lack of funds re
sulting from reductions in motor
vehicle license fees.
"Our great problem this year
is maintenance. Minnesota has in
vested more than 200 million dol
lars in its existing state trunk
highway system. Last year about
$4,500,000 was required for main
tenance Of these 6,770 miles of
roads.
funds for maintaining the ad-
ditional $500 miles added by the
Legislature must come largely
from the maintenance money, un-
less we receive Federal assistance.
We have definitely cut $4,000 of
of last years maintenance allot-
ment, and this may he reduced still
further. The problem is to deter
mine just how far the department
can go in eliminating maintenance
on existing routes without doing
them grave injury.
