In Need of Repairs

Members of the Grey Eagle and
Osakis Commercial clubs were in
troduced at the regular meeting of
the Community Club in this city
last Thursday evening. Several
clubs from surrounding towns
were unable to attend owing to
bad roads.
After the introduction Of the Wis
iting members, President Scott
called upon Mr.. Blackhurst, from
Grey Eagle, who gave a report of
the game protection problem in
that community. He stated that
the Grey Eagle club had spent con-
siderable money in winter feeding
of pheasants, and that the efforts
to secure farmers to plant black
amber cane had been successful. It
is estimated that about five acres
Of the cane will be planted in the
Grey Eagle community. He further
stated that the dam built by the
club at the outlet Of the Birch
Lakes had been instrumental in
the level Of Big Birch Lake
about eight inches. He called at
tention to the fact that much ille-
gal fishing had been done in this
community this year, and asked for
the local clubs cooperation in the
matter Of the appointment Of an
extra game warden in this terri
tory. He stated that 1t is impossi-
BILE for one man to care for the
work. He also asked the local
clubs support in asking for the re-
pair of Highway No. %, between
Swanville and Sank Centre. This
is in poor condition, and
the oil Is not holding up as 1t
should. The local club decided to
aid the Grey Eagle club in both the

projects.

Iron Cow Eats Bean.
Produces Milk

Out at the Washington Sani-
tarium in Takoma Park, the
muddle-headed poem Of many
years ago is chanted this way:
T've never seen an iron cow,
"Nor ever hoped to see one,
"But let me tell you here and
now,
'T'd rather see than be One."
It all came about, centuries ago,
in China, when the lowly Soybean
decided to rival the COW in the
social sale. And today, in many
places, the seybean is being fed
into "lTon cows" from which
issues a grade-A milk fol children,
stomach ulcers and to make a
nonodorous ancient cheese.
The Department of Agriculture
vouches FOR this and the soybean
factory at the sanitarium has
proven it.
The "iron COW" works on the
principle used by Manchurlaa
peasants. Soybeans are soaked IN
water, then crushed to a pulp-a

New Bag Limits
Made Clear to
Duck Hunters

The fall hunting season led
the Department of Agriculture
to explain the new Federal bag
limits on ducks.
The Biological Survey stated:
"The Federal bag limit on wild
ducks Is IL. Elder ducks, can
vasbacks, redheads. greater and
lesser ScaupS, ringnecks, teal
shovellerS and gadwalls included
in the IL may not exceed five.
These five may be all of one
species or different species of
the restricted class. but in no
case may the total number in
these IL species exceed five.
The total bag of all types may
not exceed H."
The duck hunter may thus
shoot a dozen mallards, or dis
tribute his bag. according to his
luck, six mallardS. and six of
others, or eight mallards and
TOUR other species, for example.
He must be careful that the
others, in the more restricted
class, do not exceed five.
Shooting wood ducks, ruddy
ducks or buffleheads is pro-
hlb1ted. Any State may reduce
the bag limit below the Federal
regulation.
