Wonderful Progress

The Junior Drum Corps, spon-
sored and equipped by the Paul
Donart Post, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, in this city, has been great
ly improved by the purchase of
new bass drums, cymbals and a
number Of new bugles. It Is the
plan Of those in charge to have the
instruments all of one kind. This
tends for better harmony and also
presents a much neater appearance
in contest.
The drum corps was organized
about a year ago and is under the
direction of DR.. p. w. Hanson. J.
N. Jackson, who Is the manager,
has charge Of drill work and has
taught the boys all Of the maneau-

Cattle Buying
inStearnsCO.
onNewBasis
Change Took Place Monday,
August 13-Program
Completed July Is
PURCHASE 2 CARS DAY
Number of Requests for Sale
of Cattle Are Coming
in Faster

The cattle buying program in
Stearns County is being continued
on a rather different basis begin
ming Monday, August 10. Since the
first round Of the cattle buying
program was completed on about
July Is, the purchases of cattle have
been continued at the rate of two
carloads a day in different, sections
Of the county. Only two veterinar-
ians are left in the county to make
the inspections. Since the above
date, July Is. one committeeman
and one veterinarian have been
making the appraisals and inspec-
tons at the farm at one time.
The number Of requests for the
sale Of cattle are coming in faster,
however, and 1t is impossible to
get over the territory with only
two veterinarians and the new
type Of buying became necessary
because Of this increased volume.
Under the new set-up, producers
should list all the cattle they wish
to sell with the County Agents Of
fee, st. Cloud, and mention the
post office address, the otwnship
and the number Of head to be sold
together with their ages; that is, If
they are two years old or over,
yearlings, or calves. With this in
formation, the Extension Office
will be in better position to know
the number required to make UP
carload at any one shipping
point. It is also well for the pro-
Queer to mention whether or not
the cattle offered for sale are mort
gagged, and who the lienholder is in
such cases.
When the producer is notified to
bring these cattle to the stock
yards at some particular shipping
point In the county, there will be
the veterinarian and one commit
teeman to make the inspections
and appraisals. The County
Agents Office is quite certain that
producers will be given just as
good consideration on appraisals as
was given under the old plan when
these appraisals were made on the
farm. Under the new plan, It Is
possible for the veterinarian to
make the Inspections and the COM
mitteeman to make the appraisals
on a number Of carloads in one

mates. To these courses will be
added Elementary Psychology, So
GEOLOGY, Freshman Literature and
possibly a modern language.
The work completed the past year
was very satisfactory, many stu
dents securing as many as twenty
nine credits. The work this year
promises to be even more success
full because of the advantage gain
ed in experience from the last
years program.
Rev. L. e. Kempton, instructor
Of the Junior College, the past year
says: I'm drawing up plans for the
school, one thing Is Of paramount
Importance. Those planning to at
tend must get in touch with Supt.
w. A. Kohl as soon as possible, in
order that the authorities may
know how many students there will
be. It is impossible to plan cours-
es, engage teachers, and so forth,
without adequate knowledge con-
corning the possible enrolment"
This institution Is Of supreme
value to this community and 1t
merits the active support Of every
one.

President Warns
Against Profiteers
$525, 100000 Set Aside for Relief
In Drouth Stricken States
Purchase FoOdstuffs

Following President Roose-
velt's recent visit to the North
west, through he drouth stricken
area, he ordered the federal pur-
chase of foodstuffs which might
otherwise go to waste and laid
down the ultimatum against poll
tics in the relief campaign.
On Wednesday the President
gave notice that "chiselers' seeking
to profteer In food prices as a re-
suit Of the drouth would have to
reckon with the federal govern
ment.
s525 100000 have been set aside
for relief in drouth district and 1t
Is believed that the entire amount
will be spent.
The President said federal agents
were intensifying vigilance over
the grain and produce exchange to
prevent undue speculation In food
stuffs which might jeojardize nat
ural prices.
Answering an inquiry, the Presi-
dent said the drouth had no eff
feet upon the principle Of the ag-
ricultural adjustment act, which Is
to control production. Secretary
Henry A. Wallace has indicated
control would he retained over the
crops, even though acreage reduc-
ton might be relaxed next year.
He also said the drouth had
moved up by two years the ex-
pected time for disposition Of the
surpluses which have glutted the
American markets.
He now is intent upon setting UP
machinery to regulate normal and
reasonable surplus.
With such a surplus In crops the
President feels danger can be avert
ed Of unduly forcing down prices by
speculation or Of exaggerating
prices.
Regarding another phase Of the
drouth, the President said the gov
eminent might purchase hay In
Canada, but he knew Of no relaxa-
ton in the regular tariff wall except
for this purpose.
He expressed no concern over an
excessive rise in food prices and
said latest reports showed an In
crease Of about six per cent in the
last year.
He is confident Of adequate au-
thority under existing law to treat
with AChiselers. and spectators
on the grain marts.
He Is particularly intent upon
blocking an excessive swing in

Credit Program
To Aid Farmers
Repairs, Alterations and Improve
ments Made Possible Under
New Federal Credit Plan

Americans who live in small
communities and on farms should
benefit as much as the city dwell
lers from the Modernization Credit
Plan Of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, under provisions OF
the National Housing Act as pro-
posed by President Roosevelt, en-
acted by Congress and put into OPP
eration by Administrator James A.
Moffett.
Success Of the determination
Program Is believed by Mr.. Moi,
felt to depend fully as much upon
the response and cooperation Of the
farmer and the citizen Of the small
community as upon those who live
in metropolitan areas.
At least, the need on the farm
for repairs, alterations and inn
provements Is as great as in the
city, as indicated by a current
Farm Housing Survey Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture.
Preliminary figures Of this sur
vey indicate that out Of every 100
farm houses, probably 80 are under
the minimum standard Of INABILITY;
that Is out Of each hundred houses
need new foundations, is to 20 need
new roofs, 10 to Is need new floors,
ten need new walls and large
number lack bath facilities.
Through the Modernization Pro-
gram Of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, which got under way
August 10, the United States Gov
eminent offers the farmer as well
as the city dweller the means Of
bringing his home up to modern
American living standards, and al
so of improving his barns and other
buildings, through the regular
banks and other lending agencies Of
his community.
In the drought-stricken States
many farmers will be helped in
deepening wells or digging new
wells.
No money is given away and the
borrower does not deal directly with
the Federal Housing Administra-
ton. But the money is made avail
able as character loans" through
regular established lending agen-
cies..
The Federal Housing Administra-
ton insures the lending institution
against 100 per cent of all loss, pro-
vided the total OF such loss does not
exceed 20 per cent Of the total vol
