CWA Payroll In
County Falling
Today's Total Lower Than Last
Week-Reduction to
Continue

Stearns county's CWA payroll
took a part of it's predicted nose
dive Saturday when $40,058.99 or
more than $4,000 under last weeks
total was distributed.
D. J. Mackenzie, assistant dis
bursting officer, accounted for the
decrease by explaining the maxi
mum hour reduction effected last
week will not be reflected in rural
paychecks until next Saturday. At
that time the rural pay total will
be sliced so per cent because of
work week reduction from 80 to
15 hours, he declared.
Saturdays payroll saw the st.
Cloud and rural district amounts
separated by $4,000. Workmen on
city projects received $15, 739, while
rural employees netted $24,319.
Civil works service projects net
ted an additional $2,959 throughout
the county, with $1,774 Of this to-
tai distributed in st. Cloud.

Muscovy Duck Believed
Native of South America

The Muscovy duck is found wild
In South America, and this Is be-
lieyed to be its original source of
habitat. Experiments made by
cross mating proved them to be
distinct breed, as the offspring of
such matings proved to be sterile.
They were formerly known as wild
musk ducks and, occasionally, are
called Brazilian ducks. They feed
in marshes and low lands. but
nest in high locations. The females
are kind and tractable, and the
males, under two years old, can
be controlled. but when older they
are cross with children. During
the breeding season they will at
tack animals and even persons who
may trespass on their territory or
disturb their mates
There are colored and white Mus
cows. The males are slightly
larger than the females. The
breeders require that the colored
variety shall have pink bills shaded
with dark or horn color: brown
eyes; yellow shanks and toes,
shaded with dark-sometimes al
most black; body plumage Is lus-
trous black The white Muscovy
has a pinkish white bill, blue eyes,
orange or yellow shankS and toes,
and pure-white plumage.
About the head and face Of the Mus
covy ducks is a distinctive mark
like the carbuncle on the head of
the turkey. This is most pro-
nounced in the mature males. They
have growth of feathers on the
top Of the head, which they can ele-
vate at will. 1t is said that they
will continue to breed for twelve
years or more.

Squirrels Credited With
Planting Hardwood Trees

Gray squirrels will not live In
any old kind Of a. woods. Squir-
rels are plentiful only where there
is plenty Of squirrel food. They
like the shelter and protection Of
evergreen trees, especially when
other trees are bare, but they cam
not live in the evergreen for long
unless there are hardwoods near by
to supply them with food. AS soon
as the acorns and nuts are ready,
squirrels begin to store them up for
winter. Contrary to what most Of
us think, says a writer in the New
York Herald Tribune, squirrels do
not select hollow tree and fill 1t
with nuts, each carefully weighed
In one paw to make certain that
1t is not false. They hide individ-
ual nuts here and there, and all
over, usually on the surface of the
ground tucked under leaves and
grass but often in the bark and
crotches Of the trees.
The hiding Of nuts and acorns
explains a curious fact that often
puzzles farmers-when a stand of
evergreens is cut off it usually
grows up to hardwoods, hickory or
oak. Squirrels living in the ever
green's have bidder, away thousands
of nuts and acorns for their winter
food. When the snow is deep the
ground will be covered with a maze
Of crfss-cross tunnels marking
where these busy little animals
have searched out their hidden win
ter supplies from cold storage. They
do not find all the nuts and acorns
no squirrels memory is capable
Of that-and when the evergreen
trees are cut down during the win
ter they are forced to move out
suddenly and abandon what Is left
Of their remaining provisions
which sprout and grow up the next
summer into young hardwood trees.

Bit of Islam Thrives in
Heart of Western China

Among the many strange peoples
who populate northwest China, one
little-known tribe is that of the
Salars, writes a correspondent in
the London Times. Far removed
from their original home in Sam
arkand, In Central Asia, they have
lived 600 years In a section Of
Kansu, near the city of Sunhwa,
on the south bank of the yellow
river, west of Lanchow. This area
they have appropriated so thor
oughly that it has virtually become
their own. They are Moslems, and
1t is only within recent years,
through the compulsory educational
regulations Of the Chinese govern
ment, enforced through Moslem off,
Gals, that they have had any knowl-
edge Of the Chinese language. Pre-
vious to this, through the hundreds
Of years Of their residence in China,
they have used the Turkish tongue
Of their ancestors. This is an an
cient form of modern Turkish
which can be readily understood by
the present-day visitor from Turk
ish-speaking country Of the West.
Throughout these centuries of resi-
dence in China they have retained
not only their linguistic but also
their racial characteristics. Their
women still wear the big turban
and the wide, heavily braided
trousers which were in vogue when
they left their home in Samarkand
more than six centuries ago.

Birth Of ''Oh, Promise Me"


A prima donna's temperament Is
said to have been chiefly response
BILE for the wide popularity Of "Oh,
Promise Me-" says the washington
Post. "Robin Hood" the operetta,
with music by Reginald de Koven,
and libretto by Harry B. Smith,
had its world premiere in Chicago
in 1890. After the premiere, Jes-
sic Bartlett Davis, who played the
role of Alan-a-Dale, absolutely de-
clined to appear in the second per
Torrance because she said part of
the musical score was unsuitable.
She could not be induced under any
circumstances to sing her role, and
De Koven and Smith were at their
wits end to find something that
would appease her. Suddenly De
Koven remembered a tune that he
had written some years earlier, and
which had never been sung public
ly. 1t was "Oh. Promise Me-" with
words by Clement Scott. De Ko-
ven played the melody OH the piano
for Miss Davis. She was delight
ed, and promised to resume her
role If she were allowed to sing
the new song. De Koven still saw
visions Of utter failure. but when
he listened to the rendition Of "Oh,
Promise Me-" and heard the ire
mendous applause that followed, he
realized that the ballad had set
tied the fate Of robin Hood" and
that a world-famous song had been
born.

and green and the grub Matching
from one of these eggs eats all of
the soft juicy tissues with which
it finds itself surrounded. It then
uses the hollow shell of the seed as
shelter in which to pupate and
does not emerge therefrom until
it has gone through all the changes
necessary for it to become a fully
developed fly. This means that as
soon as 1t leaves the seed in which
it was Matched it is ready to start
at once propagating its kind to the
ruination Of more seeds.

Feb. 10 Is Deadline
for Applications
Instructions Have Been Sent
From St Paul Headquarters
Send Regulations

Saturday Feb. 10 is the dead
line, after which no more drouth
relief applications can be taken,
according to instructions receiv-.
ed from st. Paul headquarters.
Many farmers, thinking they
might be able to get through
without aid, have not yet made
applications, and while there are
some who are not entitled to aid,
most of them are, because grain
and hay will be needed until
next harvest, and the govern
ment is trying to furnish aid un-
til that time.
The local office force has been
cut down considerably and fears
a greater crowd than can be
handled the last few days. Any
farmers, therefore, who want to
make application should come
in at once. Those whose appli-
cations are accepted will be
asked next week to file their
seed needs, these registrations
will be handled by mail.
Seed and hay registrations are
still being taken, but these also
should all be in by Feb. 10.
