Change Made
In Feed Relief
County Agent e. c. Lenzmeier
Wishes 10 Call Attention
To New Requirements

The County Agents office in St
Cloud wishes to call attention to
change in requirements for Feed
Relief on which considerable
amount of newspaper publicity has
come forth recently. There seems
to be q great difference of opinion
among the farmers as to how this
will be carried out. Everyone
seems to know about the $4,000
limit, but the question comes up as
to who qualities.
The amount a man receives will,
Of course, depend on the size Of the
farm, and the farmer must first
establish the fact that relief Is nee
essary, and that he has no other
way to get 1t. This, OF course,
means that the applicant must first
borrow to his limit through the
Emergency Feed Loan Office at
the Court House at st. Cloud. II
this does not get him enough, then
he Is eligible to come in on the
new plan with the $1,000 limit spo-
ken of above. In that case, the re-
cipient gives his note without IN
terest for the aid he receives, and
is privileged to pay the note either
in cash or in work on Public Re
lief Projects when the projects get
under way in any community.

Civ Election VII Be
Held Tuesday, Apra2
Terms Of Three COuncilmen and
Special Judge VIII
Expire

On Tuesday, April End, will be
held the annual election Of the
City OF Sank Centre, at which time
It will be necessary to elect three
councilmen for the term Of two
years each and a special Judge for
a four year term. The polls will
open at $50 a. M, and close at
eight o'clock in the evening.
The councilmen whose terms ex-
pire this year are: Ralph Steffes,
Frank T. Pangburn, and Fred
Walker. G. e. Bohall's term as
special Judge also expires.
Another proposition to be pre-
scented to the electorate of the city
will be the maintenance of a band
in Sank Centre. This will be pre-
scented as follows: "Shall a tax Of
not exceeding two mills be levied
each year for the purpose OF fur
nishing band fund.-"
In the past 1t was possible for
cities to expend monies for the
maintenance Of bands without
submitting the proposition to the
will OF the voters. This law has
been changed, hence, If a city wish
es to appropriate money for band
maintenance it Is now necessary to
have the sanction Of the voters.

Extension Set For April 18th To
Benefit 100000 Whose Fees
Are Still Unpaid

An additional month for Mime
sofa motorists to obtain new Ii
censes was virtually assured late
Tuesday as legislative action was
completed on a bill deferring the
deadline to April Is.
A Senate measure granting the
extended grace period was approx
ed late in the day by the House.
The bill is expected to go to the
Governor today for signature.
This is the second extension
granted this year. The first moved
the deadline from February Is to
March Is. The measure approved
Tuesday was the outgrowth OF fail
ure OF the two houses to agree on
a tax rate, the Senate holding out
for the same levies that have been
in effect the past two years and the
House seeking an increase in the
upper brackets.

CITY Will Issue Bonds To
Raise Money for Material

a six mill tax, bonds may be issued
without vote OF the electors. In
this case 1t was necessary to draw
up an ordinance.
Federal authorities stated to
members of the City Council last
fall that unless they furnished the
materials for work, there would be
no Federal relief available for Sank
Centre. During the course of the
winter 1t was necessary to use
money from other funds for pay
ment OF part OF the materials used
on relief work, and as a result the
city Is temporarily without funds.
These bonds, in the sum of $4,000
will be issued with on or before
privilege, and the rate of interest
shall not exceed 4 percent. How
ever, 1t Is hoped that a much better
sale will be made.
The monies received from the
sale Of these bonds shall be used
for the payment Of materials
which were used on the storm sew
er project

History of Arithmetic and Its
Practical Value and Reasons

3. An appreciation OF the value
of thrift and of the relation OF
saving to community, state, nation
al. and world development.
"A realization of the need OF In
surance.
5. A discrimination in Judging
investments.
6. A knowledge Of banking.
z. An increased interest in pub
lie affairs.
In the first grade a special period
Is not set aside for arithmetic IN
the daily program. The work Is
strictly incidental, that is, 1t is cor
related with and part OF the
work done in other subjects as
reading, language, and seat work.
The regular daily routine of the
children's lives in and out Of school
also furnishes abundant emporium
tiles for use Of numbers.
In the second grade we allot
twenty-five minutes a day for
number work. The work of the
year Is chiefly oral. Written work
is under the supervision of the
teacher. This means much black
board work.
The work in arithmetic Is divided
into three periods: In the first two
grades the child should be getting
clear, correct ideas Of number and
quantity through play, games, and
construction work. The next period,
from the third grade to the sixth
grades inclusive, should be given to
gaining skill in the fundamental
operations with whole numbers and
fractions, both common and deci-
NAL. and in percentage. The sew
enth and eighth grades should give
the mathematics needed by the
average intelligent citizen, should
develop the power and the habit Of
seeing the quantitative relations OF
life and should give such a know
ledge of common business and In
dustrial practice as will enable one
to interpret references met in gen.
eral reading and in business and
social intercourse.
There are three very definite and
distinct phases in the teaching Of
arithmetic: the presentation of new
facts and processes, drill, and ap-
plication.
Any new process should be built

rooms, work on which was recent
ly completed. The club room
proper has been equipped with
rugs, tables, easy chairs and floor
lamps. It being completely refin-
ikhed and repainted, provides "a
splendid meeting place for the
club. The Kitchen, the large orom
and the former serving room have
been completely renovated and re
paired, and the floors have been
scraped and revarnished.
Work on this project was cared
for by relief labor, and to say the
least, the work has been very
well done. The workmen took
great interest in the project, and
as a result three splendid meeting
rooms have been prepared for the
organizations of this community
It is hoped that a large number
of men will attend the meeting
this evening.

in Eastern Stearns and especially
among friends of the All clubs.
Appearing at last Friday nights
meeting were: Supt. Taylor, County
Agent Lenzmeier, County Club lead
er, Miss Anderson, all pleading for
a Fall Fair. After debating the
question for two hours President
VIM. Rattle suggested the directors
take few days to think the pro-
position over and called a second
meeting for March 18th.
Wednesday nights session devel-
oped into the same type Of argu-
ment evident In the preceding
meeting. Three proposals were Of
fered, lie, a July 4th fair; a fall
fair with entertainment and con-
cessions; a strictly agricultural fall
fair. OF the three propositions only
the one calling for a fall fair with
entertainment to be held August
16-17-1S, received the consideration
of being put to a vote. A few
feeble "ayes" and no opposition
answered the chairmans question.
President Rathe put the question
the second time but a count of
noses proved to the chair only a
minority of those present had vot-
ed, whereupon the chair suggested
that the question was still unset
tied and another meeting be held
next week.

Wallace Porter and Jack Armstrong were in- coming passengers.
 One-third of the freight was transferred from Colo win and two-thirds of it from Isaacs Point, The fact that the freezeup caused some of the small freight boats to put into IsaacS Pt. and Golovin.

 Outside temperatures ranged from 10 to 40 de- grees below zero but in- side the plane the therm- ometer showed forty de- grees above, and not one bit of the food supply was frozen.

night, the first in the new city building council cham bers, members agreed to enlist new musicians and all those interested in the continuance of a band in Nome. It was stated that efforts would be made to contact the schools in Nome and see if possible candi- dates could be secured. An other suggestion was to ap- proach as many young boys and men in Nome as possible and interest them in learning band music un- der capable instruction, There are a sufficient num- Der of instruments now in the band to take care of 7 or 8 new members at the present time.
