COLOR

Question: I've been having
quite a bit of difficulty in ap-
plying my rouge so that it looks
natural. / know that rouge
should be placed to correspond
with the natural color in the
cheeks. But 1 don't have any
natural color in my cheeks.
What can /, therefore, use as
a guide in applying rouge, so
that 1 place it correctly?
A. M.
Answer: If there is no nat
ural coloring apparent in your
cheeks, you may do either of
two things to assist you in
applying your rouge skillfully
and artistically. If you slap
your cheeks briskly-but not
roughly, mi1ld you-the blood
will rush to the surface of the
skin and your cheeks will be.
come flushed with color. You
can then note where your
rouge should be placed. Again,
if you battle your face in hot
water for a minute or two, and
then quickly press on it a
towel saturated with cold
water, the color will rise in
your cheeks and will serve to
guide you in applying your
rouge so that you can make
it appear as natural and as
perfect as natures own handi-

Grill Plates

Grill Plates
Glass grill plates are most
convenient. They are divided
into two or three sections and
will hold a plate dinner or lunch
nicely. Especially are they good
for the informal meals, when
one wants to serve the salad
with the main course. They'll
save dish-washing, too.

Contracted Land
Not Used for Hay
Technical Language OF Agricult.lr-
al Department Difficult to
Understand

So many questions are coming
to the county agents Office at st.
Cloud relative to recent newspaper
releases on the uses of oats on
contracted corn acreage that some
definite explanations should be
made. The articles in the papers
were correctly written but a little
too technical to be easily under
stood, according to the county
agent.
Contracted corn acreage can not
be planted to oats for hay in 1884.
Such contracted land must be plant
ed to permanent hay or pasture
crops for use in 1895; but there
should be no removal in 1884. Sweet
clover and alfalfa will invariably
be chosen but pasturing of sweet
clover in the fall is not possible ac-
cording to the terms Of the corn
and hog contract. IF these perma-
nent hay or pasture crops are plant
ed with a light nurse crop this
nurse crop may be clipped back
with q mower but no removal is
permitted.
Many farmers have already plant
ed oats on contracted land without
waiting for clearer decision. This
is In violation Of the contract and
other implanted land win have to
be substituted for contracted acre
ages or the corn-hog payments win
be lost

Bond of CITY
Treasurer Is
Approved
D. B. Caughren, C. r. Bruce
Hattie E. Caughren, S. C.
Bjone Sureties
AMOUNT IS 100000
City Would Be Required to
Pay for Surety Bond
Cost $4,000

The Sank Centre City Council
met in special session last evening
at the request Of City Treasurer
elect j. H. Hansen, to consider the
bonding for his office.
Mr.. Hansen presented a personal
bond, signed by D. B. Caughren, c.
R. Bruce, Hattie E. Caughren and
8. c. Bjone in the sum Of $4,000
In presenting this bond Mr.. Han
sen argued for the requiring Of a
surety bond for the treasurer and
designating city repositories.
The City Charter provides for
either a surety bond or a personal
bond as the City Council may di-
rect.
There was some discussion about
the designating Of repositories for
the City funds, the repositories set
ting up government bonds for the
full amount the depository would
be allowed to handle.
If repositories were named both
banks Of Sank Centre would not be
permitted to care for all Of the
funds in the hands Of the treasurer
as. under the law, no bank desig-
mated as a depository, could receive
funds in excess Of IS per cent Of
its capital and surplus.
If a personal bond were accept
ed the City Treasurer makes such
disposition of the funds under his
supervision as his good Judgment
dictates.
A surety bond in the sum of
$780, 600 would cost $500 for the
first year with a 20 per cent re-
duction for the second year.
If q surety bond was furnished
the city would be compelled to pay
for it.
There Is much red tape in con-
nection with securities furnished
by designated repositories. In case
the bank designated as a deposi-
tory, for any reason desired to
substitute another security for the
one accepted by the city, much red
tape is required. It is q very tech
nical procedure.
After quite a lengthy discussion
Of the bond question from every
angle the City Council expressed
themselves as being satisfied the
signors on the personal bond,
Messrs D. B. Caughren, c. r.
Bruce, s. c. Bjone, and Mrs. Hat
tie z. Caughren, as being ample.
security. The bond was approved
by a unanimous vote.

Former Sank Centre
Man Met DiIIinger
DesperadOes Hi-Jack Roy Francis
Automobile in Successful At
tempt to Escape

John DiIlinger, the Federal Gov
eminent Enemy No. 1, is cutting a
wide swath of death and injury in
his narrow and successful escapes
from Federal officers. In his latest
bloody fight from a summer resort
in Wisconsin Sunday evening he
headed for St Paul. Guards were
posted on all cross road intersec-
tons and bridges. His car was fol-
lowed at Hastings Monday after
noon. AS his pursurers were gain
ing ground just before they crossed
the high-bridge at Hastings a heavy
truck crossed the highway ond de-
layed the officers car. They got
close enough to riddle the fugitive's
car with bullets. The coupe was
abandoned when the bandits held
up a car occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Ray Francis and little son near
South st. Paul. They took posses
sion of the Francis car and hurried
on.
Mr.. Francis is well known in this
city. In the early twenties he was
employed in the Sank Centre
branch Of Swift & Co., for a year
and a half working under Harry
Schmidt. He was transferred from
this city to Detroit Lakes.
Deputy Sheriff Heinen, Of Has
tings, driver Of the car riddled by
bullets with a Dillinger machine
gun is q cousin Of Mrs. L. p. Hint
zen.
Wednesday morning a st. Cloud
man drove his truck to the city,
arriving about 1890 A. N. He
stated that he stopped at a soft
drink place in Albany and was in
formed that a stranger customer
at the place asked the borkeeper:
would you know John Dillinger If
you saw him Well I'm the guy"
He paid for his drink and left. The
barkeeper is wondering.

EGG DEALERS MEET

Tuesday evening about 60 groc-
ers, and other handlers Of eggs
from Sank Centre and neighboring

plant In this city to listen to an
explanation of the law under which
eggs are handled from the farmer
to the dealer and from the dealer
to the private customer, by Inspec-
tor Walter Schriver, Of the Min
nesota Dairy and Food department.
Manager Louis Lovik, Of Swift &
Co, had made ample arrangements
to handle the crowd. The proper
method of Gambling eggs was ex-
planned by illustration.
This law was passed by the Min
nesota legislature in 1921 but has
been lying dormant until recently.
It provides among other things
that dozen Of No. eggs must
weigh at least a ounces. The color
and texture OF the shell have IN
effect on the grading.
At the conclusion OF the meeting
Manager Lovick served a light
lunch Of sandwiches and coffee.

Con-
tracts Explained
Like Many Government Relief
Plans It Is Rather Difficult
to Understand

A number Of contract signers on
the corn and hog program have
asked questions at the County
Agents office, st. Cloud, relative to
the purchase OF breeding animals
as it applies to their contracts. Al
most every farmer purchases one or
more breeding~animals during the
ordinary year. hence they are con-
cerned over this question. A para
graph from the Corn-Hog Produc-
ton Adjustment Bulletin of Feb.
-, 1884, throws some light on this
question. It follows:
Hog producers frequently
have occasion to introduce new
breeding stock into their herds
by purchase. In the event that
such purchases were made dur
ing the base period, they
should be considered as feeder
pigs bought, under the limita-
tons imposed by paragraph 8
OF the contract. If the num-
Der Of hogs which the producer
finds it necessary to buy in
1884 for breeding purposes on
ly is greater tnan the average
number Of feeder pigs bought
during the base period, the
producer may be considered as
not having violated this pro-
vision of the contract (para-
graph 81 if the number of hogs
produced for market from
1884 filters is reduced below Is
per cent by sufficient number
to Offset the purchases of
breeding stock.
From this it follows that if a
producers quota for sale Is SO
head in 1884 and if he produces less
than 80 for sale, from his herd, he
may purchase additional breeding
stock either as boars or gifts for
his herd providing the number
purchased for breeding and those
produced for sale do not exceed
thirty Should he have already
produced his quota for market there
would be no room for purchased
breeding stock without destroying
some produced on the farm.
