Hot Water Treat
ment Kills Smut
Limited Number of Demonstra.
tons VIII Be Given by County
Agent This Spring

In the spring of 1888, three dem
onstrations were held for treat
ment of smut in barley with the hot
water method. All of these dem
onstrations were put on by the
County Extension Agent in cooper
alton with creameries in various
towns. A limited number of COM
munities can again be accommo-
dated with demonstrations of this
kind. Any community wanting as
sistance along that line should
make their requests at the county
agents office at once.
The hot water treatment, while
it requires a considerable amount
of work, is the only method by
which certain kinds of smut can be
killed thoroughly. The tempera-
ture required for this work is very
active and in order to hold that
temperature at the proper point, 1t
is necessary to have at ones dispos-
al a supply Of live steam to use in
keeping the water properly warm.
Growers, before bringing barley for
this treatment must soak the seed in
cold water for six hours before the
day of the demonstration.
At the demonstration the seed
will be immersed in a hot water
solution ranging in temperature
from 126 to 129 degrees Fahren-
heit. The barley seed is kept In mo-
ton while in the hot water for a
period Of thirteen minutes. At that
time it is cooled off in tank Of
cold water and is then ready to be
sown on the land. It is rather i'm
portant that this barley treating
work be done when the seeding
season is definitely started in order
that cold weather might not come
along and destroy the termination
qualities of the seed after it has
gone through the hot water bath.

A meeting of the local baseball
association was held in the Com
munity Club rooms last Friday ev-
ening. The meeting was called at
the request of the younger players
of the city, who have stated their
desire of taking over the team this
season. All present were heartily
in accord with their wishes.

dent of the association for the en-
suing year. Other officers elected

ident, and ALLEN Wilcox, secretary

ton also granted this desire.
A large number Of young fellows
were present at the meeting and If
their enthusiasm continues turnout
the year, a successful season Is
predicted for them.
The young fellows decided to
sponsor some kind of entertain
ment for the purpose Of raising
money for a number Of pairs Of
new pants, the only equipment ne
cessary at this time. They also de-
cided to maintain the franchise in
the Central Minnesota League.
The members Of the association
met in the Community Club
rooms again Tuesday evening. At
this time it was agreed to sponsor
a movie for the purpose of raising
money to buy new pants and a
catcher's mitt for the team. The
boys are all set for practice and
expect to be at the diamond Sun
day If weather permits.
The young fellows, or Andy's
Colts, as they will be known, are
showing a great deal Of enthus-
iasm and should receive the whole
hearted support Of the public in
both the sale Of tickets for the
movie and during the coming sea-

Statewide Drive Is Under Way
For Enforcement of New
Safety Law

enforcement of the drivers license
law is now under way, according
to bulletin from the state high
way department.. All peace offic-

that there are still many thous-
ands of drivers who have neglect
ed to apply for their driver per-
mits.
About 5000 licenses are being
held by drivers license bureau of
the highway department in st.
Paul because applications were
improperly made out, and those
persons who made application but
have not received their licenses
should communicate Immediately
with the bureau.
Every driver must have an indi-
vidual license, and must carry it
with him at all times. Those who
drive without a license are subject
to fine or Jail sentence.

structed City Attorney Kells to
write the State Liquor Control
Bureau and ascertain If q license
could be granted to Mrs. Dirnberg-
err inasmuch as her husband had
a license for ION Sale" and "Of
Sale" at West Union.
A letter received by Mr.. Kells
Wednesday stated that a person
could have two licenses for the
sale of liquor If they were located
in separate municipalities. The
"Off Sale" application of Mrs.
Dirnberger was returned with the
information that several questions
in the state law must be answered
fully and honestly before an "Off
Sale" license would be granted by
the state.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Dirnberger
appeared before the Council last
evening they were informed that
their application must be filled
out completely before the Council

ly before midnight. After the
changes had been passed upon by
the City Attorney, a license for
On Sale" and "Off Sale" was
granted to Mrs. Dirnberger. Her
bonds were approved also. The
lady Is permitted to start business

quest for the return of their appli-
cation and bond for an "Of Sale
liquor license. The request was
granted. ...-

es at one time. None would be
approved until he had all the ap-
plications in his hands for study
and approval or rejection. He has
entire jurisdiction over "Off Sale
licenses.

Bots appeared before the Council
and requested that his books be
audited by the State Public Exam

DeLaurier
Returned AS
City Mayor
Defeats C.. E. Parkinson by
Majority of 1877 in Hot
Fight Tuesday
FAIRLY HEAVY VOTE
Frank Connolly and G. D.
Cass Have Comfortable
Pluralities for Aldermen

About three-fourths of the total
vote Of the city was polled at
Tuesdays election to select city Of
ficers for the coming year.
The fight conferred around the Of
fee of mayor, very largely, al
though the contest for the two al
dermanic positions was spirited.
The main issue in the mayoralty
fight appeared to center on the po-
licing Of the city. The Mayor ap-
points the police officers who are
at all times under his complete con-
troll and direction.
The element who favored q new
deal" in the handling Of the police
department supported G. e. Perk-
inson for mayor. Mayor DeLaur-
Ter was asking for reelection on
his record.
The sad part of a hot municipal
election is that many untruthful
canards are glibly circulated about
almost every candidate for any Of
fee. Some Of these are made
through ignorance; some malicious
ly, and some carelessly repeat free
ly what they have heard some one
else say.
Mayor DeLaurier carried both
wards handily, his total majority
being 1877. The total vote polled
was something over 900.
Frank Connolly led the field for
alderman; G. D !Cass, retired a year
ago, showed wonderful recupera-
tive ability, landing As votes be-
hind Mr.. Connolly.
The defeat of John Mondloch
came something as a surprise in
many quarters as he had rendered
marked service to the municipality
during his tenure in office.
He led Carl Eckberg for third
place by IT votes. Gus Otto was
fifth and John Wruck sixth.

treasurer for a two year term with

i. S. EXPERTS ARE SHARPLY
DIVIDED ON SUBJECT

paratively short time ago we
tried to sink battleship off
the capeS by bombing her from
the air. We towed an old YES
sci out to sea and let her have
it from every bombing plane
that we could put up for the
demonstration. The aircraft
failed miSerably.
"NO attack on a battleShip
from the air can he successful
because the battleship is too well
protected; the battleship has its
own protecting aircraft: and it
has anti.aircraft guns of its own,
in addition to the same type Of
guns on surrounding cruisers
and other vessels. 1t has been
demonstrated, too, that no plane
carrier dares go to sea now with
out a guarding force Of several
battleShipS. In other words,
military science now recognizes
the fact that the battleship is
superior to the airship."
Both battleships and alrplanes
are needed in large proportions in
modern warfare, according to
Representative VinSon of Georgia,
chairman of the Naval Affairs
Committee of the House, who ex-
planned today that the program
of building airplanes and naval
vessels now under way is the great
est ever undertaken by this Gov.
ernment. He said:
can airplane can destroy bat
tIeShip with a direct hit II it
can be maneuvered into posi-
tiOn. But for that matter a bat
tleship can also be destroyed by
a submarine. if the submarine
can get within striking distance.
The fact that battleship can
be destroyed by an airplane,
however, is not the whole story.
We should not rely solely on one
type of weapon; we must ha7H
a perfectly balanced arsenal, as
it were; enough ships and
enough airplanes.
Il don't think we have ever
had a real test between air
planes and battleShipS; the
World War did not give us a
real test. But we do know the
difficulties of maneuvering a
heavily loaded bombing plane
into position. The bomber must
be directly over the ship for
a hit. 1t will have tough time
getting there, with the air filled
with explosives from the battle
ship and its guarding planes
and antiaircraft guns"

SCHOOL
FOR POLICE
BY THOMAS F. CULLEN
International News Service Staff
COrresDOndent

Plans were being formulated to.
day by Attorney General Cum
mings to establish the National In.
Stitute of Criminology, in accord
ance with a recommendation Of
the crime conference called by
him.
Although the definite form
which the proposed "West Point
of Police" will take has not been
made known, it was evident that
present facilities of the Govern
ment would be used.
Mr.. Cummings is known to be
averse to asking Congress for an
appropriation to create another
Federal agency. Training OF
selected police officers will be
undertaken by the division Of in
vestigation by opening the class
rooms for its agents to the police.
This training will include finger
prints, ballistics, chemical and mi
croscopic analysis. use OF the ultra
violet ray, typewriting and hand
writing identification and photog-
raphy.
The eight weeks instruction
course will be supplemented by
training in the use of the most
modern firearms. such as machine
guns, automatic rifles, shotguns
and of gas weapons.
Carrying out suggestions OF the
crime conference for study OF
the causes of crime, the depart
ment will use it's own facilities
which include millions of criminal
records. The department will work
with other agencies, such as the
Children's Bureau, in the study of
juvenile delinquency.
