Interest of Twenty Years Ago

Hon. Frank Minette and Robert
r. Kells, both of Sank Centre, pull
ed off a very pretty contest for
representative from this district.
Kells carried Sank Centre by a
heavy majority, but some of the
outlying townships gave Minette a
majority of 3S. DR.. J.. A. Dubois
was defeated by a small margin by
Congressman Lindberg and Henry
Garfield was defeated by Ben FL
lering for the office of commission
er of this district.
The fair authorities have been
having some difficulty selecting the
winners of the silver cups offered
by the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific railroads for the best
exhibit in certain line of agricul-
tural endeavor at the recent
Stearns County Fair. Henry Borg
mann, the progressive farmer south
of the city, was awarded the N. P.
cup last year for exhibiting the
best COW and calf. He is the victor
again this year. It will be neces-
sary for him to win again next year
to have the cup become his pers-
onal property. Jonas Eckberg, re-
siding northwest of town, won the
Great Northern cup for the best ex-
hibition Of grains and grasses at
the fair.
VIM. Bean, who is employed at
the Sanitarium at Walker, Mimi,

visit with his family. While at his

Representatives of 275,O00 corn
hog contract signers in five North
western states, in conference with
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration officials at University
Farm, st. Paul, recently recon-
mended that the corn-hog reduction
program began this year be con-
tinued throughout 1888, but with a
different schedule of adjustment
payments.
They also laid plans to take a
vote on the continuance of this con-
troll program among the rank and
file of contract signers early in
October.
The findings of this conference
and the results of the October MEM
bership vote, which is to follow,
will be considered by the Adjust
ment Administration in deciding
finally whether or not there will be
a corn-hog reduction program in
1885, and, If one is adopted, what
form 1t will take.
Action of the University Farm
conference followed statements by
the administration officials that the
present shortage and high prices Of
feed stuffs will probably cause
farmers to increase their feed crop
production greatly next year, if no
new control program is adopted.
Such increases, they said, would
automatically increase livestock
production and lower livestock
prices, thereby wiping out the gains
made thus far under the adjust
ment programs.
Because of the heavy curtailment
in corn and hog production which
farmers have made before the end
of this year, the administration Of
ficials said that a slightly larger
acreage of corn and production of
hogs might be permitted in 1885
than was permitted under the 1884

Armistice Day

Armistice Day marking the 10th anniversary of
the end of the World War; again recalls the stern
realities of that ttantic struggle which changed the
map of the world.
The significance of the events which have
Cured since November II, 1918, may be variousy in
terpreted according to the viewpoint from which
see them. To some it will appear that great prog
ress has been made toward universal peace while to
others the trend of events will imply grave danger
for the future
Even single individual may reasonably waver
between hope and fear-hopeful when some felictous
to draw the nations closer togeth-
err fearful when outbreak here there threatens
to undo all efforts for concord and understanding
No one is wise enough to foreteH the future. Was
the war to end war; the last great clash of nations
only the prelude to frightful slaughter
and destruction yet to come?
Only time give the answer, but in the mean
time it behooves all right-thinking persons and par
tcularly those in positions of influence and RESPONSE
bility exercise whatever they may possess, of toll
erance forbearance and the will to do justice to their
fellowmen.

contract, if the control plan is
continued. They pointed out, more
over, that the government could
not make as large adjustment pay
ments to farmers in 1885 as have
been made in 1894 without increas-
ing processing taxes beyond a
rate concumers would be willing to
pay. Such increase, they said,
would be made necessary by the
reduced number of hogs on which
the tax could be levied, and the
legal restrictions limiting the length
of time during which the tax could
be levied.
The following program for 1885
drafted by a committee of five from
each of the states represented in
the conference, was recommended
to the Agricultural Adjustment adj
ministration:
l. Benefit payments should be
made on both corn and hogs.
2. The 1928 base period should
be used in determining quotas.
8. Benefit payments should be
made at the rate of $500 per head
on rs per cent of the adjusted an
nual average during the base per-
iod. A reduction Of 20 per cent in
hog production should be made for
contract signers from their 1933-24
base, which represents a five pei
cent increase over last year.
4. Corn acreage for 1885 should
be continued on the same level as
in 1884, making it optional with the
producer to reduce from 20 to sc
per cent from his 1928 acreage
Adjustment payments should be al
the rate of 40 cents per bushel on
the appraised yield of the contract,
ed acres.
5. Contracted acres should be
used for pasture hay, soil improve,
ment or erosion prevention crops
following or forest paintings and
for annual forage crops. If plant.
ing corn or grain sorghums is al
lowed, dates for planting and har.
vesting should be specified by the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins.
tration.
6. No increase should be allowed
in the total crop acres planted fol-
harvest.
Z. The unrestricted purchase OF
feeder pigs by contract signers
should be allowed.
8. The 1885 corn-hog contract
should be designed to effect the
transition from the 1884 contract to
longtime contract to begin in
1886.

Bar Group Will Have
Library Offices in
Bank Building

Private offices of members Of
the District Bar Association will
no longer be cluttered with papers
and books relating 10 the asso-
ciation-the group has decided
to establish headquarters offices
in a centrally.located, downtown
building.
At a meeting Of the board of
directors, yesterday, the offer Of
Victor Deyber, president Of the
Second National Bank, of two
large rooms ON the second floor
Of the building, rent free, was
accepted by the board and the
various departments and commit
tees of the association will begin
to centralize there Immediately.
Meets Real Need
Establishment of the headquar-
terS in separate offices will meet
a long felt want and will relieve
the lawyers Of considerable incon-
venience.
Many of the officers of the as
Sociation are young lawyers and
their private offices are none toe
large, so they will now be relieved
of having to keep records pertain
ing to their offices in their own
cramped quarters.
Board and committee meetings
of the association will be held
there, legal periodicals will be pro-
vided and it is contemplated that
secretary will be available to
take charge of the office.
incidentally, this was the first
board meeting to be held since
the recent election Of President
F. Regis Noel.
Fifteen new members, some of
them already nationally promi-
nent in the profession, were for
mally admitted to the association
at yesterdays board meeting.

and former legal advisor to Am,
bassador Guggenheim in Cuba
and Clement L. Bouve, onetime

vate practice, were admitted.

BEST SINCE

Retail trade this week Is easily
the best since the middle Of last
year and in many parts Of the
country January totals exceeded
anything recorded in that month
since 1929, Dun and Bradstreet,
Inc, state in their weekly review
today.
January store business was dis
tributed evenly to all departments
instead of being confined to
those where clearance events
were in progress, the survey con-
tinues, while the closing week Of
the month saw buying in lines
which have been dormant for
many months. The report states:
"There has been no slacken-
ing Of the healthy trend which
has marked both wholesale and
retail trades since the first Of
the year, and industrial opera
tiOns are now starting to
broaden.
Leading retailers are making
preparations for the largest
spring business they have had
in recent years with heavier
buying Of better grades Of mer-
chandiSe."
The automobile manufacturers
are leading the industrial upturn,
the survey states, while "the
principal worry now apears to
be the matter of deliveries" The
Dun & Bradstreet business ba.
rometer rose to 61.8 from 61.1 a
week earlier and compares with
48.9 a year ago.
