mo PASSING" ZONES
TO BE ESTABLISHED
ON TRUNK HIGHWAYS

In an effort to reduce accidents on
sharp curves, bad hills and other
places of unusual hazard, the state
highway department will soon estab-
lish mo passing" zones on trunk high
ways.
Such danger zones will be indicated
by double center stripe in the middle
of the highway. as cOntrasted with the
single center stripe in general use.
Signs at the roadside will carry the
mo passing" message.
Engineers are now making a survey
of locations on the main routes where
passing restrictions are needed. In
general, such locations will be on ap-
proaches to the crest of hill where
the clear view ahead is less than 500
feet, and on all curves with a radius
less than 600 feet or where the clear
view ahead is less than 500 feet.
At places of extreme hazard, special
reflector button markers may be
placed between the double center lines
to emphasize the danger at night.
Many head-on collisions result from
cars attempting to pass others while
the drivers cannot see far enough
ahead to insure safety.

PNEUMONIA DEATHS
INCREASE IN NUMBER

More pneumonia deaths have been
recorded for each month of 1884 than
for any corresponding month in 1888
This fact is cited in a bulletin issued
by the Public Health Education Com
mittee of the Minnesota State Med
zeal Association recently as a reason
for especial caution during the
months of colds and flu
1t is difficult to account for the
rise in pneumonia deaths according
to the bulletin, especially in period
when there has been no serious cpl
demic of influenza and deaths from
other acute illnesses.
The fact is unquestionable, how
ever, as shown in a recent authorita-
tive study and it is believed by the
physicians to be justified for unusual
precautions against colds and unusual
care to avoid prolonging them and
causing complications.
Every cold should be treated with
the possibility in mind that it might
lead to something worse, or that it
might, in fact, turn out to be some
thing much more serious" according
to the bulletin.
The victim should stay at home
in bed for a day or two both to avoid
injecting others and to give himself
the best chance to recover quickly.
Failure to recover in a few days or
the appearance of any complication
should be the signal for seeking help
Many pneumonia cases could be
avoided, according to the physicians,
if the patient had given himself
plenty of rest and used discretion in
getting back to his ordinary pursuits

passage of a federal act which will
provide for the fixing of minimum
prices for basic farm commodities
when sold by the farmer in whole
sale markets, such minimum prices
to be based upon cost of production.
Thus far Congress has been unwilling
to enact such a law, much to our
disappointment. President Roosevelt,
during the conferences with the Wes-
tern Governors, never flatly rejected
the proposal, but did not, however.
in any sense commit himself to it.
Il know that you will be pleased
to learn that / discussed the matter
with the President during his recent
trip through southern Minnesota, and
him, can state that l was very much
encouraged with respect to our pro-
gram, after my conversation with him.
THE push for such a law cannot,
however, come from the President.
1t must come from the so-called grass
roots of the country. That is where
you and your organization come in.
l am sure that the Farm Holiday
Association, through you and other
leaders, will use your best efforts to
arouse local sentiment throughout
such parts of the agricultural area
of the United States as is possible,
in order that a strong front may be
presented by agriculture at the next
session of Congress, so that the Pres
ident will feel that an outright COM
initial as to price fixing will have
the wholehearted support of the agri-
cultural industry

National LEGISLATION.

National Legislation.
1. Whereas, the independent Amer
lean farmer cannot continue to exist
If he does not receive cost of pro-
duction for his products, and
Whereas, industry has always been
protected in the domestic market by
tariff, be it
Resolved, that we demand the en-
actment of legislation as embodied
in the Swank-Thomas Bill, which will
insure cost of production for the
farmer on the portion Of his products
that is consumed in the domestic
market.
2. Whereas, the Frazier Bill has
had for three years the united sup
port of farmers and the farm organ
izations as the best measure so far
offered to refinance American agri-
culture, be it resolved that we de-
Frazier Bill. Be it further resolved
that the Minnesota Farmers Associa-
tion will advocate and promote a
militant protest against all mortgage
foreclosures to the extent of making
permanent moratorium until said
bill is enacted.
That we demand the Federal gov
eminent to take over the entire bank
ing and credit system as a public
utility to be operated at cost for the
benefit and protection of all the peo-
pie. And that a sufficient medium
of exchange, based on wealth existing
and produced be issued as needs, with
out interference of usury for the car
rying on of normal trade between
producer and consumer.
3. We demand payment of adjusted
compensation to the soldiers in treas
ury certificates or notes.
4. In order to re-distribute the
nations wealth which has been cen
traliZed by our ultra rich, we renew
our demands of an increased tax on
incomes and inheritances and gift
taxes.
5. BY reason of the failure to ade-
quately serve the welfare of the pub
lie, the Farmers Holiday Association
recommends that the Federal govern
ment take over and control the opera
ton of transportation, communica-
ton systems, packing plants, iron
mines, and factories that are part of
any key industry.
6. Whereas, war is the result of
the profit system and to take the
profit from war it will be abolished.
Therefore, this Farmers Holiday AS
ISOLATION demands that our govern
ment take over and operate all plants
manufacturing war munitions and
supplies.
7. That labor may receive more of
the fruits of its toll, we recommend
the passage of the following program
in the next session of congress:
1. An extensive and construtive
system of public works.
2. Unemployment insurance.
3. Direct cash relief pending oper-
alton of unemployment insurance.
4. The right to organize on public
relief projects.
5. Representation Of the organized
unemployed before relief boards.
6. Disability compensation on all
public projects.
7. All war funds to the relief of
the unemployed.

FIRE BURNS
OVER TWO SECTIONS
Cricket Camp and CCC Crews
Check q Serious Blaze
Near Kirby.

Lightning last Saturday night
set fire to grass and timber about
two miles northeast of Kirby. The
fire was not discovered until the
next morning, by which time the
blaze had a good start and the
local stockmen and farmers reSid-
ing near, realizing they would be
unable to check it, enlisted the aid
of 26 men from the Cricket Camp
under the supervision of Dave c..
Jones and a number of men from
the CCC camp at Busby, who
fought the blaze from daylight
Sunday until late Sunday night,
when the fire was brought under
control. The fire destroyed over
two sections of grazing land and
a considerable area of timber. Had
it not been that these federal or
CARNATIONS were available, a dis
astrous range and timber fire
would have resulted, as the blaze
would have swept a dozen miles
of range and timber between the
Rosebud and Tongue river.

MIDDLE COURSE BARED

W.iSHINGION- Inc mystery
that mas surrounded the BRAN
trust n t>ntlons In connection
With tie reciprocal tariff act and
its lam program has been cleared
in part oy Secretary of Agricul-
tuIe Wallace, VINO announced that
American imports are to be in
creased sou, uJo, 200 yearly, "sacri-
flcrng some American products to
fort:yn competition" while U.s.
OUO,UUO rich acres or SO, DOC, 900
poor acres are to be retired from
production.
At the same time the depart
ment OF agriculture is retiring
these millions of acres from pro-
duction, the Public Works admin
istration, operating in some cases
in conjunction with the bureau of
reclamation, is spending millions
of dollars to bring additional farm
acreage into production in some
| western states. This is considered
by Secretary Wallace as a middle
course of planned economy. The
question in the minds of many is
what american products are to be
sacrificed to foreign competitor, or
how many American workers will
be thrown out of employment.
Growers of sugar beets are hold
ing their breath until they hear
the verdict. The sugar industry
seems TO be Wallace's football.
