OVER THE HILLS TO THE

See the tears how they course down my cheeks!
Oh, this world it is lonely and dreary,
And my heart for relief vanly seeks.

The days of my youth have gone by
Then over the hills to the poorhouse,
l wander alone there to die
All, me! that old doorstep yonder
I've sat with my babes my knee,
No father happier fonder

And Lily, with prattle sweet

But they've driven him out in the street.

My faithful affectionate wife;
Since then I'm forlorn and forsaken,
And the life has died out of my life.
The boys grew to manhood; gave them
A deed for the farm! aye and more
1 gave them this house they born in
And I'm turned out from it's door,
For I'm old, etc.
Oh children loved children! yet hear

With the hope that you all would be near me,
To comfort and cheer my old age
My life blood I'd gladly have given
To shield and protect you, but bark!
Though my heart breaks, I'll say it, you've driven
Me out here to die in the dark
For I'm old, etc.
But perhaps they'll live happier without me;
Farewell, dear old home! ah FAREWELL!
Each pathway and tree here about
Some memory precious tell
Well! the flowers will bloom bright
And the birds sing as sweet to the MORN
When the hill from the poorhouse
Next spring the old man shall be borne
For I'm old, etc.

Wheat Plan Brings
Cash to the Farmer
Benefits This Year for Growers
Who Take Part in Wheat AID
juStment Program

Cash benefits will be paid to Min
nesota wheat farmers this fall,
probably by September Is, under
the plan with which the Agriculture
al Adjustment Administration has
decided to make the farm act effec-
tive this year.
Minnesota ranks fourteenth in
wheat production, the records of
the United States Department of
Agriculture show. In the five-year
period, 1928-32, it produced on an
average, 20,68O,OOO bushels and
planted on the average, LAS, 400
acres.
The wheat adjustment program
provides for paying cash benefits
to farmers on the basis of the per-
centage of their average wheat crop
for the past three years, which is
domestically consumed as food, up
on agreement of farmers to reduce
their acreages. Processing taxes
are to be levied to pay the costs.
The plan will be to pay cash ben
efits each year on the allotments
of each farmer for 1888, 1884 and
1885, provided the farmer agrees to
reduce his planted acreage for the
1884 and 1885 crops by a percent
age that will subsequently be de-
termined by the secretary of agri-
culture, but will not be more than
20 per cent of the average acreage
planted by the farmer in the last
three years.

year. Where complete mixing was
done last year on farms best re-
suits were secured when the bran
and arsenic were first mixed well,
dry, before the addition of molasses
and water. The two gallons of mo-
lasses were then dissolved with
eight gallons of water. Water and
molasses mix easily in a barrel or
other large container. This sweet
ened water should then be poured
over the bran-arsenic mixture and
shoveled over well till a uniform
mix is secured. Slightly more wat
er may then be necessary. If a lit
tie water can be squeezed out Of a
handful of mixed bait it is ready
to use. Too much water makes the
bait hard to spread. The above
plan is the easiest to carry out. It
avoids all danger of Jumps in the
mixture when the molasses and dry
bran are mixed together.
Townships now in need of bait
can be taken care of when re-
quests come from the township
chairman, and committeeman in
charge of a definite district in that
township. Allotments of material
can not be made direct to individ-
ual farmers. Requests should be
made to the county agent at st.
Cloud.

Man and gun are unknown to
these birds, hence very intimate
study of their habits is possible.
They show no fear whatever, one
may pick them up as easily as you
would a pet cat. Some build their
nests in holes in the ground, others
hatch their young on the hot rough
coral beaches.

ed to be the graveyard Of turtles,
another had nothing but the bleach
ed bones of dead birds. The two
islands were void of any animal life
whatever, yet not a mile from the
other islands. I managed to spear
a turtle about five feet across the
back, but due to the heat and lack
of proper curing methods abroad
ship had to dispose of it, however
I did save a small piece by soaking
in lyewater which seemed to kill

Surely was a successful trip and
we headed back to our ship about
20 miles away. You see due to the
treacherous shoals big ships can
not get in. On our way back it
really did seem like the fairy tales
one reads. We stretched out on
the sun bleached thwarts of our
small boat and lulled to sleep by
the splash of the scurrying flying
fish at play, in fact they kept just
ahead of our boat and as the story
book writers would say were guard

was well worth while because you

could write for hours dad, but will
have to tell you all the details when
we hit good old Sank Centre about
two years hence.
Dad we are seeing lot and Will
enjoy our two years out here and
have found it all very interesting.
But believe me am going to fish
through the ice from boat high

water when it breaks up in the

Central MINI. Standings
Sank Centre Blew Up

Regardless of the big blow up
Sank Centre had Sunday, the team
still maintains it's third position in
the league, and no doubt, will main
tain that position or better at the
finish.
The local team was far from
par in Sundays fiasco and the out
fit is capable Of much better base
ball. Something went haywire and
with Bud Lewis, on the mound for
Osakis, pitching three-hit game,
the Sank Centre bunch was out
classed for fair. Next Sunday at
Osakis there will be different
story to tell-maybe!
Sundays game started out in big
league fashion and for two innings
it looked as though Osakis would
be given rub for their money.
Something went wrong in the third
and the visitors scored four runs
on three hits and two costly errors.
Four more runs were Tailed by
the visitors in the fourth on four
hits and another very costly error.
Baker went in for Soltau in the
fifth, and although another error
for the locals put Baker in bad, the
side was retired without scores. In
the sixth Osakis made two more
runs on a walk, two hits and bone
head plays. In the seventh they
were blanked again, but in the
eighth they made another run and
in the ninth with one hit. and two
errors they scored two more runs.
Just four Sank Centre men
reached the initial sack, two Of
these men reached second and at
no time did they threaten to score.
Bud Lewis allowed three hits, one
to Holt, one to Baker and one to
A. Marthaler, who plays around sec
ond base.

of 1,453 All club members and

this is the largest 4-H short course
ever to be held in the state of
Minnesota.
During the week the county

strations, music contest, athletic
and dramatic events. The grand
championship plaque for the coun-
ty delegation scoring the greatest

captured archery, cooking, camp

scented by Is Scouts, Troop 3, one

der the leadership Of Junior Assis-
tant Scoutmaster Edward Dicl1haus.
Troop So had IA scouts in attend
ance and most of the time were
under the active leadership of Sem
Tor Patrol Leader Franklin Vande-
Steeg. Scoutmaster M. V. Weeks
prepared all the meals, but since
he was on night police duty in the
city, he was unable to give any
more time to the Camporee.
Sunday morning % scouts were
brought to Sank Centre for morn
ing Catholic services. Rev. J. D.
Butler held a most impressive
morning watch service on the camp
grounds for the protestant boys. All
swimming was supervised either by
Scout Executive Virgins or Scout
Commissioner Joe Schmidt. Two
local boys, Charles White and Ro-
bert Edwards, won merit badges
for swimming.
All in all it was most interest
ing time for the lads and judging
by the enthusiasm shown through
out the period as well as at the
camp fires Friday and Saturday
nights and at the Court of Awards
Sunday afternoon, it seems quite
likely that this is the fore-runner
of similar events to be held at
least twice yearly. Many of the
boys are planning on another Cam
poree to be held some time in the
fall. A goodly number of Scouters
and parents visited the camp at one
time or another, helping consider
ably to add to the success of the
enterprise.
The following was the daily menu
prepared and served by Quarter
master Morton Weeks at an entire
cost for each boy of about 60 cents.
