Sanitation Is just another name for
cleanliness. Only century ago, the
accumulation of filth from many sources
was cause of epidemicS that decimated
the population of great cities. Even to-
day, sanitation is being neglected in
small communities. True, in the big
cities, the death rate impressed the need
of greater cleanliness or more SANTA
ton. Today much attention is given
to water supply, sewage disposal, gar
bage removal and the eradication OF
rodents and insect pests in even smaller
American towns. The health of the
community depends to large extent
upon the interest of the individual: ii
can be purchased directly, either by
money or by work.
Shall the sanitation of the farm home
be entirely neglected? There is room
for much improvement. The well from
which the finest water in the world is
pumped, is often contaminated at the
surface. The barn yard, large and well
fenced, is a breeding place for flies
and rats. Garbage is scattered around
the homestead that might otherwise be
beautiful The milk house, its floor
covered with barn litter, smells sour anG
breeds flies. The privy, not protected
against flies and rodents, often spills
its content into the open yard. Ir
cities, sanitation ordinances protect the
neighbor from neighbor, but wnere
neighbcrs are half mile apart, no one
cares.

Con. Pittenger of Opinion That
New Deal Policy Retards
Agricultural Growth.

Expressing the belief that one of the
most unpopular features of the New
Deap program will be the policy of the
Department of Agriculture respecting
Northern Minnesota, Congressman w.
A. Pittenger declared yesterday that
plans of the department to classify most
OF the lands in the Northern section as
agricultural will retard indefinitely
the development of this area.
Most people will not believe it,
Congressman Pittenger said, 'sbut about
a year ago the Department of Agricul-
ture, In carrying out the New Deal
policies decided that the Northern Sec
ton of Minnesota was not fit for agri-
cultural development, and that it was
more suitable for forestry. Unless this
program is changed, 1t will be the policy
of the Government to avoid so far as
possible agricultural development in this
section"
II am warning the people of the
Eighth Congressional District" Pittengel
continued, because much work will
have to be done to convince the govern
ment that it has the wrong policy
People who live in this territory must
become acquainted with the seriousness
/ of the policy. It ought to have our
united opposition. I discuss it because
last week noticed an editorial in one
county newspaper expressing doubt that
anything SO foolish could be possible
AT the same time there was a news
item in paper in another county in
the Eighth District giving an account
of meeting where the Government was
attempting to move settlers from So
called forest area to new homes in
other parts of the state"
1t is understood that other Upper
Lake States are also affected, there
being Land Planning Policy" of the
Department of Agriculture to remove all
lands which it designates as Sub
marginal agricultural lands" from cul-
tivation and try and induce the settlers
or farmers to go to new locations. The
experiment" of moving farmers to
Alaska is typical of the policy or plan.

BLACK GROUSE
Undesirable
Commissioner Willard Does Mo-
Think Much of Importation
of Foreign Birds.

For several years, it has been the aim
of the Ely Rod and Gun club and other
sportsmen's organizations, to import to
this section of the country from Sweden
and Finland, species of game bird, the
black grouse or capercailzie, as being
adapted to this section of the game
country in the hopes of adding another
game bird to the list.
Commissioner E. v. Willard has in
formed the conservation commission
that all attempted introductions in this
country and in Canada of these game
birds have failed, the black grouse never
having succeeded in raising young in
North America under natural con-
ditions.
These conclusions on the part of
Commissioner Willard are at variance
with the conclusions reached by many
sportSmen of the ranges who were ac-
quainted with the bird in their native
land and made the claim that climatic
conditions in northern Minnesota were
similar to those conditions in Sweden
and Finland where this species of game
bird flourisheS.
Commissioner Willard stated further

Of fire in protected and safe areas and
thus reduce fire hazards.
Mr.. Comet pointed out that "the
camp grounds will make recreational
uses of state forests more easily avail
able to the average citizen" Mime
sofas scenic beauties and wealth OF
natural resources will be more ad-
vantageously displayed and conserva-
ton will be encouraged and fostered
with the general public as result OF
recreational improvements on the state
forests.

Camping Facilities to be
Improved on State Forests

Establishment of camp grounds on
state forests and state lands will be
stressed this summer in northern Min
nesota, according to Grover Comet, di-
rector of the state division of forestry
and fire prevention. Physical improve
ments will be made under the Emer-
gency Conservation Work program of
the Federal government with work to
be done by members of the Civilian
Conservation Corps.
Preliminary plans have been COM
pleted following surveys of desirable
locations, Mr.. Comet said. Picnic
grounds will be developed and scenic
sites improved. Overnight camps will
be provided at strategical points and
regular tourist camp sites will be in
cluded in the program Camping TO,
fishermen will be accomplished with
better facilities along highways and well
known trout streams

NEW YORK, November 30-Archi-
tects and decorators recognize today
that behind the actual furniture, wall
colors and accessories that comprise
the modern living room there must
be three factors: Comfort, beauty and
practicality. Comfort-that blissful
sinking into deep-cushioned chairs
and divans-can be completely nulli-
fed by clashing, ul-chosen colors in
the surroundings. And the comfort
of having a table for ash tray, book
and lamp right at your elbow can be
rendered hollow if the table is so
perishable that you must needs worry
about marring the table top or ruin
ing its surface with an inadvertently
spilled glass. But comfort. beauty
and practicality, skillfully interviewer,
prove the perfect formula.
Taking these three factors as a
starting point, thoughtful decorators
and homemakers are weaving them
into living-room designs that make
thoroughly enjoyable backgrounds for
those individuals who will spend their
time in the rooms.
Some people enjoy building room
around definite theme. There is, for
instance, the apartment living room Of
the Paul Whitemans which overlooks
Central Park. 1t has been designed to
be Rhapsody in Blue" room and
combines various Iints and tones Of
blue with accents Of contrasting colors.
The walls are powder blue and the
other tones Of the room range from
ivory to a shell color and then lemon
yellow and coral. The carpet is a
dusty powder blue, too. The grand
piano has been painted ivory white
and there's always a crystal vase on
it filled with long-stemmed Gala lilies.
The window wall is hung with ivory
and lemon yellow, and another wall
is nearly covered with book shelves
that have blue-mirrored background.
Over the sofa Is the picture that
gives the room its color theme-a
painting of Paul Whiteman. conduct
ing. Done by an italian artist, it
combines all the shades of blue that
are introduced into the inviting living
room.
An entirely different type Of living
room is the quaint kitchen-sitting
room designed by Alfred Lunt and
Lynn Fontanne and displayed at a
prominent Manhattan store. The
floor: Nearly covered with a rag rug
in faint vari-colored stripes, with
gray wool fringe. Painted furniture
with elaborate designs Of flowers and
fruit, grouped comfortably. The win
dows: Curtained in blue and white
