STORAGE STOCKS OF
FOOD ENCOURAGE

Storage stocks of food products in
the United States on March this
year indicates some encouragement
for markets on agricultural products,
says the weekly market bulletin is
sued by the Central Cooperative As
ISOLATION of South st. Paul. Meat
stocks generally show gains over a
year ago, but they were mostly in line
or slightly less than the five year
average for that date.
Total stocks of pork in storage at
735, 100000 lbs. were 20% more than
a year ago but $50 less than the five
year average. Beef stocks at $685.
600 lbs. showed 500 gain over a year
ago, but were slightly less than the
five year average. Frozen mutton and
lamb stocks were go greater than a
year ago, but showed a substantial
decrease from the five year average.
Other competitive foods manifested
similar trend. Frozen poultry held
in storage houses of the United States
on March 4 totaled 1O1, 100000 Lbs. or
1870 more than year ago. Compared
with the five year average, however,
poultry stocks were about the same.
Total stocks of eggs were 1929, 900
cases or TO less than a year ago
and 25%o less than the five year aver
age. Storage stocks of creamery but
ter, however, manifested. big gain.
The March 1 total at 36,S42,OOO lbs.
was 22O% greater than a year ago
and $40 greater than the five year
average.
In the case of meat stocks, the
March 1 report is more optimistic
than it has been for many months.
1t reflects decreased slaughter of
meat animals as well as improved
cOnsumptive demand.

COUNTY BOYS GRADS
OF FARM SCHOOL

Reinhardt V. Jensen, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jens B. Jensen of Askov, and
Wayne Holland of Pine City, were
graduated from the School of Agricul-
ture, University Farm, st. Paul, Tues
day.
The commencement exercises at the
school differ from most commence
ments. The outstanding feature each
year is a series of demonstrations,
through which representative men,
bers of the class, in talks and ex-
hibits undertake to show effectively
some of the outstanding things the
class has learned. This year the
members of the class who gave the
talks, and their subjects were as fol-

Past Civilizations Tell U.s." Wayne
Holland, president of the class, from
Pine City, introduced its members to
the audience.
Music for the exercises was fur
nished by the School of Agriculture
orchestra. Rev. Arthur H. Gilmore of
st. Anthony Park Congregational
church, gave the invocation. Victor
Christgau, graduate of the school in
1917, now assistant administrator of
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
stratiOn, gave the address. Certifi-
Gates were awarded by President l. D.
COffman of the University. ]. O..
Christianson, principal, presided.
The School of Agriculture, the first
of it's kind in the United States, is a
part of the Department of Agriculture,
of the University of Minnesota, and
should not be confused with the Col
lege of Agriculture, Forestry and
Home Economics. The School of
Agriculture admits young men and
young women for courses in agricut-
ture and home economics. Young men
and women of II years may enter, of
those of fewer years if they have had
a year in high school. The course is
for three years of six months each.
The six months vacations are spent
in farm or home project work. The
attendance at the school for the year
just closed was about 400. The alum
nj list is now more than 1000, and it
is estimated that 90 per cent are in
actual farm or home work.

FEDERAL LAND BANK
LOANS TO BE IN BONDS

Anton GraveSen, Secretary-treaSurer
of the Askov National Farm Loan
Association. received word recently
from VIM. l. Myers, governor of the
Farm Credit Administration, Wash
ington, d. c., that federal land bank
loans and land bank commissioners
loans will be made in the future
through the Federal land bank in
bonds of the Federal Farm Mortgage
Corporation, which bonds are guar
anteed by the United States Govern
ment both as to principal and interest.
These bonds will take the place of
the cash distribution in the disburse-
'ment of the Enclosed loans previously
approved by the Federal land banks.
Governor Myers assured Secretary
Gravesen that the Federal Farm Mort
gage Corporation bonds will be an at
tractive investment. They will be
as readily marketable as bonds of the
United States Government and they
will be quoted in all of the principal
markets." he continued. Holders
who have to dispose of these bonds
should not sell them without first as
pertaining their real market value"
Secretary Gravesen states that
these bonds, which will be rendered
to farmers creditors in payment of
the refinanced Indebtedness, are Eek
empt from all Federal, State, NUM-
cipal and local taxation, except sur
taxes and estate, inheritance and gift
taxes. They are lawful security for
fifteen-day borrowings by member
banks of the Federal Reserve system.
They are also lawful investments for
all trust. public and fiduciary funds
of which the deposit or investment is
under the authority or control of the
government. The payments of the in
terest on these bonds and the repay
ment of their principal are guaran-
teed by the United States, which
means that if the Federal Farm Mort
gage Corporation should ever be un-
able to meet the payments on the
bonds, the treasury will assume such
payments.
These bonds will be issued in de-
However, amounts less than 500 will
be disbursed in cash. For example,
loan of 1865 would be made in
$500 bond, four 500 bonds and the
rest in cash., In addition, to provide
for certain debts, such as taxes which
cannot be paid in bonds, cash cover
ing the required amounts will be pro-
vided.
Loans which have been applied
for and approved, but on which the
cash has not been paid out, as well
as those approved by the bank in
the future, will be financed on the
above basis. This arrangement in
no way disturbs or alters the other
provisions of the loans. The interest
rate on new loans will continue to be
AZ per cent for the emergency per-
iod when made through a national
farm loan association and 5 per cent
when made directly by the bank"

NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

Theocracy-the rule of Gods a
term applied to form of govern
ment, or to state ruled by such a
form of government, in which God
or the divine power is considered the
source of all civil power, and the
divine commandments the fundamen-
tai law of the nation, .s.
Such a form of government is ex-
pected to be officially proclaimed in
Austria shortly after Easter and will
replace the present constitution
which is based on the principle that
all power emanates from the people
whereas a theocratic law is based on
the idea that all power emanates
from God.
Expressed in palmer terms the new
constitutiOn-alsO to be known as mat
ural law"-will clothe the president
and the chancellor with even greater
personal power than they now possess.
There will be no parliament, merely
advisory assemblies whose members
will be chosen by the executive, and
from the discussions within such as
semblies the public will be excluded.
Under this new law the government
will have absolute control of all leg
islatiOn, the press, the theater, the
radio, the motion-picture shows, the
universities and colleges, and the pres
ident has unlimited power to appoint
or dismiss cabinets which will be re-
sponsible to him rather than to
elected representatives of the people.
Democracy which has been ailing
in Austria for a long time, thus re-
ceives its final, killing blow, and
President Wilhelm Miklas will be-
come an absolute ruler-which means
that Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss is
to become full-fledged dictator.
In some quarters it is believed that
this constitutional reform" is a pre-
liminary step leading up to the re-
storation of the imperial form of gov
eminent, with Prince Otto of the
Hapsburg dynasty on the Austrian
throne. But Czecho-Slovakia, Ro-
mania and Jugo-Slavia have already
served notice at Vienna that a re-
vived empire will be considered a
valid cause for war.
Italian ParliamentariSm.
Eleven days ago Prime Minister
Benito Mussolini of Italy declared
that "parliamentarism can sink to no
lower levels than it has already
reached" In other words, he con-
siders parliamentarism an obsolete
form of government. and evidently for
the purpose of demonstrating by &C
tion what he expressed in scornful
words of contempt he staged last Sun
day a socalled election at which 400
deputies were elected; it was fore

the victorious candidates were men,

chamber of deputies, and that is to

In the field of international politics
Mussolini seems intent on playing a

those old tricks will avail him nothing.
The agents of the division of investi-
CATION cannot be bought. They cannot
be outwitted-for long. Nor is there
any spot in the United States or abroad
where he can hide from them. In the
Washington office of this force are more
than 100000 fingerprintS of criminals.
And others keep pouring in from all
over the world at the rate of 1900 day.
All crimes do not come under the
Jurisdiction of this division. No purely
local crimes do. This is a Federal
agency, responsible for investigating
certain offenses against the United
States Yet the range of these crimes
is enormous; it is world wide. And to
solve them there are approximately
400 young special agents working under
a youthful, inspired director of 80.
THAT director, John Edgar Hoover, one
of the worlds great criminologists.
was born January 1, 1895, in the District
of Columbia. He was graduated from
Washington's Central High School in
1918. In the same year he entered the
Library of Congress as a clerk, and also
enrolled in the George Washington Uni
versity Law School as an evening stu

He received the degrees of IL. B. and

admitted to the practice of law before
the bar of the Supreme Court of the

In 1917 Mr.. Hoover entered the De-

1919 was appointed special assistant to
the Attorney General. From 1921 until
1924 he served as assistant director of
the Bureau of Investigation, and in

Such have been the newspaper head
lines carried recently by the press of
a shocked country. Once more, kid

Today American wives watch in
anxiety while their menfolk drive off
to their downtown offices. Will they

they come home at o'clock. Will they
ever come home at all? Will they be
brought home mutlated-or dead?
This-relish the picture or not-is the
state of society in our United States
today. Crime stalks the land almost
unchecked. In money it is costing us
$4,000 100000 annually. In human
anguish it is imposing an even more
terrible burden. Other nations are
amazed at our spineless tolerance of
these horrifying conditions-conditiOnS
which exist nowhere else on earth
All crime is abhorrent kidnapping,
law-enforcement officers agree, is the
most brutal crime of all. A few of its
victims are returned unhurt physically.
Many are tortured; some are murdered.
And the mental torment of the victim
and his terrified relatives leaves an in
delible impression.
However, the kidnaper is not the only
criminal abroad in our land. He is
merely one of a great horde! From

into a vast industry-an industry that

lovers, who refuse to become putty
in feminine hands. They lose their
respect for the meek and lowly
adorer who sits and worships quiet
~, hopefully-and does nothing,
nothing about it
If the man had told the girl to
make her decision or he would get
out her heart probably would have

she would have yielded tO-and
gloried in-his masculine determin-
alton. But he stated humbly that
he hoped that some time she would
marry him Some time is no time.
He didn't know that.
Women desire men who have steel
in their fiber. Men who are chival-
rous, sympathetic and kind, of
course, but who are maSterful and
purposeful and get what they want
or try hard enough! No woman,
whether she is seven or seventy

may grow so accustomed to seeing
it in front of her door that she
would miss it if it disappeared, but
she won't bring it in from the rain!
