This i Society !,

AT MOST many parents have
permitted queer ideas to develop
among us about society
We permit our children to 60 to
public receptions at a time when
they should be going to bed and
allow them to come home IN the
morning when they should be get
ting out to work.
We spend q weeks salary for a
party dress so that daughter may
look like the Joneses.
On the night son and daughter
spend from twelve to four at the
dawn dance, pa gets an extra job
somewhere from nine to twelve in
order to keep up with his extra ex-
penses. Many of us who struggle
for living allow our children to
squander what we earn in a nights
fun. we permit our children to
keep cur noses on the grindstone
because we have not shown intelli-
gence enough to get together as
parents and agree to regulate their
recreation.
YOUNG PEOPLE whose minds
should be set upon a career, buy
ing home. opening store, are
busy competing with one another
to see who can drink the most with
out passing OUT and who best can
dance all night and still make it,
to work the next day.
In many cases where the ques-
ton is asked why can't certain peo-
pie support their community enter
prises, the Y.M.C.A., Y.W.C.A., tie
Urban League, the church, the hos
pital, the Community Fund, the
college, and the N.A.A.C.P. cam
paign, we might as well ADMIT the
answer is society.
Why the small number Of stores?
why the low rate Of home owner
ship? why the high rate Of illegi-
timacy? Society.
SENSIBLE PARENTS who are
eager that their children shall be
better off than themselves might
well sit down with pencil and paper
and see what they are permitting
society to cost them. In money,
in time, in anxiety, and in lost ef-
ficiency,
Then they should ask the ques-
ton, do they fix a limit to recrea-
ton hours or do they permit their
children to fix the limits?
And when all this is done, par
ents might look at themselves and
ask, are they setting the children
the proper example?

ment Of the Federal Emergency
FAlief Administration and Presi-
Cent Roosevelt to the demand Of
Governor Talmadge of Georgia and
other southern officials for aboli-

wage scale.
The charge was made today by

Federal Emergency Relief Admin
istrator at Washington.
Bad Enough
Their nt was bad enough with
the FERA theoretically insisting
Upon minimum wage" the telegram
asserts, but now that final decision
as well as administration has been
turned over to local authorities we
predict that wage slavery and
death win be the lot Of the Negro.
Governor Talmadge from the be-
ginning has fought minimum wage
an ground it was higher than pre-
Vailing rate In Georgia but real
reason has always been that he
does not want Negroes to receive
even the miserable wage they have
been getting under the FERA.
BY taking this STEP the Assoc
citation charges. the Administra-
si6n has surrendered not only a
principle that seriously affects its
recovery program but the very
flesh, blood and bone of millions of
American citizens helpless in the

consideration of your decision be-
iieving all intelligent southerners

Livestock Prices Are
Better Than a Year Ago
State Wide Survey Indicates Con-
siderably Stronger Market In
Near Future

The first half of 1894 has passed
and livestock prices generally aver
aged well above a year ago and
the price outlook, considering fu-
ture supplies, is encouraging, says
the weekly market, bulletin issued
by the Central Cooperative Asso-
citation of South ST.. Paul.
AS the second half of the cur
rent year started the average fat
cattle market stood $500 per cwt
above a year ago. Hogs averaged
40c above year ago and fat lambs
averted $1.60 above a year ago.
During the first six months of
1884 cattle receipts at twenty lead
ing markets of the U. S. were s.
235, 1000 head or 921, 1000 more than
during the same period last year,
Hog receipts thus far this year at
13,434, 900 head at twenty markets
were 1,489,00 less, than the cores
ponding total last year, and the
sheep receipts 6,864,OO0 head show
ed falling off of 2,854,00 head as
compared with a year ago.
With the drought causing liquida-
ton of many cattle, hogs and sheep
and the government making vast
purchases of livestock in drought
areas, future supplies of livestock

northwest presaging an and Of
drouth.
The growth of a tree each year
adds another ring Of new wood on
it's outer circumference, clearly dis
tinguishable from the growth ring
of the year before. Scientists have
found that the thickness of each
years ring varies with the amount
of heat and moisture available to
the tree. In wet years the rings
are thick, in dry yeasr thin.
According to the record of tree
rings in ponderosa pine of the Pa
office northwest, we are at the bot
tom of a severe. major drouth,"
says the forest service, land the up
turn to good moisture years should
come in three to eight years."
This verdict is based on. a study
of tree rings by DR.. Walter H. Mey-
er. They reveal, by their. varying
thickness cycles of drouth and
plentiful rain regularly recurring
for centuries.
CDR. Meyers record of the tree
rings goes back to $685." the for
est service statement says. I'm it
he found rhythmic cycles of good
growth and poor growth, indicat-
/ ing clearly the existence of definite
climatic cycls.
1.-THE length Of the cycle from
peak to peak of drouth varied in
the past from IT to 35 years and
averaged about % years. The data
was obtained from hundreds OF
trees scattered throughout the for
est region of eastern Oregon and
Washington.
''The latest period of retarded
growth seems to have started about
1917. This period of slow growth
also appears to be one of the most
pronounced and of the longest
duration in the entire record"
This last statement partially
bears out the weather bureaus YER
dict that this years drouth has
been the most severe on record, al
least from the standpoints of area
affected and deficiency of rainfall

do not go back more than Ion

Stearns Co. Fair Directors Are Appreciatiue

Your fair officers and directors
wish to thank everyone who assist
ed in making the 1884 fair sue
cess. The wholehearted coopera-
ton we received this year and the
splendid response of the public was
most gratifying. 255 season tickets
each good for six admissions, and
1885 tickets were sold, making a
total of 5,065 adult admissions. All
children under IA years were adj
mitted free, and their number
equalled the adult crowd. These
figures should give some idea of
the numbers attending the fair July
Bird and 4th.
To Governor Olson, who changed
his itinerary so he could speak at
our fair; to the st. Cloud Times,
and county press, the neighboring
press of. Glenwood, Alexandria,
Long Prairie, Osakis and Grey
Eagle, for your valiant promotional
publicity we are deeply grateful.
Especial thanks are due Mr.. w.
C. Menke for the donation of 324
loads of gravel and dirt used in
conditioning the fair grounds. Mr..
Menke's donation was unsolicited.
The short haul from his farm made
the gift doubly valuable, as time
was a big factor in the work. The
farmers, too, who hauled the dirt
are to be commended for their eff
fort to work off their feed loans
from the state. Thanks, Mr.. Men

For five weeks two men worked
hard conditioning the fair grounds
and for a very, very small remun-
