Appointed as Chairman.
M. Miller, Member

Members of the Stearns County
Agricultural Advisory Credit Com
mittee held their first meeting in
the Melrose State Bank Building at
Melrose on Friday, May 10 at 8 p.
M. Similar committees were re-
Gently appointed by Governor Oh
son, at the request of the Farm
Credit Administrator in all coun-
ties Of the state of Minnesota. The
Stearns County committee is COM

These County Agricultural Ad-
visory Credit Committees are COM
posed of public spirited citizens
who voluntarily assist in analysing
and in making recommendation
for an equitable settlement of diff
ficult debtor-creditor problems
among the farmers of their respec-
tive communities. No charge is
made for the service. Debtors or
creditors who submit their prob
lens to such committees are assur-
ed of receiving the assistance of
the committees and Of having their
affairs handled In a confidential
manner. In other states and in
some counties in Minnesota where
such committees have been serving
the past year, they have rendered
a type of service which has been
very helpful to debtors and credi-
tors and which could not have been
given, in many instances, except by
committees, the members Of which
have the confidence of the citizens
Of their local communities for the
desire and ability to deal fairly and

Track is a spring sport and as
such is a colorful one. 1t is perhaps
one of the most fascinating and
most graceful of the sports to
come to modern athletes. Sports
such as the javelin throw, the dis

handed down from the graceful
sports of the early Greeks. Let's all
be out and watch this assemblage

Tobacco Growers
Receive Checks
Represent Second Payment on
1884 Contracts Which Is
$5S63 For County

During the past week 269 tObac-
CO checks were distributed in
Stearns county, these checks re-
presenting the second payment for
1884 on the tobacco contracts to-
falling $5363 for Stearns county.
There are still a number of con-
tracts for which the second pay
ment has not been received and it
is hoped that the agricultural adj
justment administration will have
these prepared and send them out
for the remaining signers very
soon.
The tobacco contract is 3-year
contract and the producers signed
this contract in 1888 covering the
years Of 1933-34-35. For the year
1885 payments will be made on one
third of the base acreage. In other
words a reduction of SO 1-3 per cent
is necessary. Very few contract
signers according to the County
Agents office, st. Cloud, will con-
tent themselves with a reduction
as small as 80 1-3 per cent. The
bulk of the signers will plant no to-
bacco at all and only a limited
number will plant as much as the
% permitted. A very few will take
advantage of the special offer
where a reduction of only Is per
cent Is required. The tobacco pro-
gram in Stearns county for the
past two years has paid out ove-
$4,000 a year. Payment for 1885
will likewise approximate that fig
ure. At the time it is not known II
the administration has any plans
for continuing the program beyond
1885. If there are none, producers
after 1885 can govern their plant
ing operations as they see fit. Com
pare the various adjustment pro-
grams offered in the country and
the tobacco has probably been the
smoothest in operation. It has re-
quired less work on the part Of the
staff of the county agents office
and probably has met with more
satisfaction among the producers
Of the county.

Nancy Wedge Awarded
The Golden Eaglet
Continued from Page oneS

the Court proper began, with the
awarding of the tenderfoot badges.
Mrs. Frederickson invested the
following girls with that rank: Ad-
cline Nelson, Phoebe White, Joan
Lux, Catherine Hansen, Vera Love-
see, Mary Ann Dubois, Eleanor
Conkey, Muriel Easton, Margaret
Markson, Christine Koterba, and
Lorraine Pendroy. These girls are
now eligible to undertake the re-
quirements for Second Glass work.
Mrs. Hedin invested several girls
with the second rank in Scouting,
the Second Glass. The following
are the girls: Shirley Rosenwald,
Dolores MCGEE, Alice Halverson,
Phyllis Pangburn, Margaret Spra-
que, Rosemary Morse, Marion But
Ter, and Vera Lovesee. When a girl
has reached the Second Class she
is then qualified to work on her
proficiency awards toward the goal
of all Girl Scouts. Several girls
were presented with these awards
as follows: Alice Halverson, music
and hostess awards; Mabel Ben
son, hostess; Geraldine Hansen,
Scholarship; Helen Hedin, health
award; and Helen Minette, house
keeper.
Following these awards Mrs.
Charles KIar spoke briefly on just
what the receiving of the Golden
Eaglet means. It is true that the
Scout must earn a number of pro-
ficiency badges, twenty-one in
number, by which there is some
standard set for work. But it is the
personal character and the charac-
ter growth that the girl attains
that really makes her eligible for
the Eaglet. Miss Nancy Wedge
having passed her required and
elective proficiency tests was re-
ferred to the National Headquar-
tiers for approval and also to the To-
cal council. Having been approved
by each of these as well as the
members of her troop, she was
awarded the highest honor IN
Scouting when Mrs. Klar, her
troop captain, conferred upon her
the award of the Golden Eaglet.
Miss Wedge is to be congratulated
upon the work that she has done
and the development she has at
tanned. The award was acknowledge
ed in salute by Miss Ruth Austin,
who last fall received the Esglet.
The Court was closed while the
girls sang the international an
them, taps, and pronounced the
Girl Scout Benediction.

Many Will Attend
Anniversary Service
Celebration To Honor Bishop
Busch VIII Be Held In st.
Cloud May 19-20-21

Eleven archbishops and bishops
besides a number Of abbots, mon
signors and well-known priests OF
the Northwest, have expressed
their intention to be in st. Cloud
for the celebration of the 18th an
niversary of the conservation OF
the Most Rev. Joseph F. Busch
Bishop of st. Cloud. which will be
held on May 10, 20 and u. Upon
his conservation Bishop Busch was
appointed to Lead, South Dakota
but in February, 1915, he was
transferred to the Diocese of St
Cloud, of which he has been the
head ever since.
During these 20 years the num-
Der of diocesan priests has increas-
ed from SO to 124 and churches
with resident pastors from 81 to
118. Upon his arrival in 1915 the
Bishop found 81 parochial schools
with 5,SS2 pupils, taught by 19e
Sisters and a number of lay teach
ers. Now the diocese has AZ par
ochial schools, in which SAT- pu-
pills are being taken care of by 307
Sisters and about 10 lay teachers
The Catholic population has in
creased from 81, 694 to 76,247 during
these same years. To provide for
the spiritual needs of his people,
1894 of whom he has confirmed
in 20 years, the bishop has ordain-
ed 40 to the priesthood to join the
ranks of the clergy of this diocese
besides ordaining at least an equal
number for other dioceses and
about 80 religious who belong to
st. Johns Abbey, st. Peters Abbey
in Muenster, Canada, and the
Crozier Monastery at Onamia.
The CONSTANT loyalty and COOP
Grafton of the laity to their reli-
gion and their leader, Bishop
Busch, is evident from the results
of these years. Their financial sup
port has enabled the diocese, and
the 118 parishes and q missions in
the diocese, to carry on their activ-
tiles unimpaired, even during the
depression. During these 20 years
80 new church edifices have been
erected at a total cost of over a
million and a half. Even larger
amounts were devoted to the en-
larging, altering and decorating OF
practically all the other churches,
and to the erection, charging or
repairing of schools, rectories and
homes for the school Sisters.

Mounting Costs Of
Federal Relief
Nearly $4,000 Cases, or One Out OF
Five Get Help, Taxpayers
Statement Reveals

Human emergency relief costs
constitute one of the major finan-
cial problems of Federal, State and
Local governments in the depres-
sion. An analysis of the Minnesota
relief case load indicates signifi-
cant trends. Rural cases have
shown a great increase, growing
from 1856 relief cases in Minneso-
Ia as of December, 1888, to 55,372
in December, 1884, according to a
report just issued by the Minnesota
Taxpayers Association.
During the same period total re-
lief cases in Minnesota including
both rural and urban mounted
from 41,231 to 106,974. The growth
in the cities from December, 1888,
to 1884, was from 32,695 to 5,602.
It is estimated that as of February,
this year, there were about $4,000
relief cases in the state, of which
$4,000 cases are family units. In
other words, one out Of every five
persons in the state have been re-
ceiving relief in one form or an
other, the report shows.
During 1884 the total cost Of re-
lief in Minnesota amounted to $685.
918,124. THE Federal Government
played an important part in contri-
buting to the 1884 relief burden
SIS, 6OO,414. or TIA per cent Of the
total. While local communities
shifted great part Of the burden
to the Federal and State units, the
cost to the localities was $4,702,-
O95 or 1874 per cen Of the total
load. These figures do not include
the CWA costs Of the Federal gov
eminent which from October to
Mar, 1884 amounted to $18,413,110,
TOO. Neither do the figures include
the PWA costs, which were partly
intended for relief work.
1t is interesting to note that the
relief cost per case on monthly
average for six months in the three
metropolitan counties was much
higher than in the rural counties.
Ramseys cost was $39.38, Henne-
pins, $3.50, while the average rur-
al county spent around $40 to $25
per case, depending primarily on
local conditions counties in the
drought area being relatively high
er, according to Minnesota Taxpay-
ers Association officials.

the blaze started when the chimney
burned out and sparks blew onto
the roof. The fire was soon
brought under control without SER

Congressional
NeUs Letter
By Harold Knutson,

The New Dealers are becoming
very much concerned over how
they can spend the $4,SSO,OO0 before
next election and well they might,
because they will have to spend the
money at the rate Of $3,25S, O00, 900
a year, $270,OOO,OO0 a month, $685.
OO0.000.00 a week, nearly $4,000
600, day, $375, 900 an hour and
$4,000 q minute. It is going to
keep Hopkins, Ickes and Tugwell
awake nights to spend it. While
their job is a, hard one 1t is as moth
ing compared to the job that the
taxpayers will have to pay 1t.
I have urged upon those who
will help to secondary spend this
money that 5000, 100000 of it be
spent on secondary roads so as to
give the farmer year round road
from the farm to the market. am
hopeful that considerable sum
will be set aside for that purpose.
The American farmer pays tens of
millions of dollars annually for au-
tomobile tags and in gas taxes but
in many states he gets very little
in return. It would seem that we
could well afford to let trunk high
way construction go for year or
two while we put the secondary
roads in shape.
AS I write this I have before me
a copy of the May issue of the Ma
tional Livestock Producer which
calls attention to the number of
Canadian cattle that are coming
into the South st. Paul market. It
states that on one day Canadian
cattle constituted almost 40 per
cent Of the total receipts of live
stock and that in the Car-Lot Div
ision that day there were more
Canadian cattle on sale than there
were American cattle. These cattle
are not being brought in by Canad-
ian farmers but by spectators and
traders. It would be interesting to
know what prices the Canadian
cattle growers received for these
cattle.
The other day George N. Peek,
the Presidents Foreign Trade Ad-
wiser, wrote an open letter to the
President wherein he strongly con-
demned the policy of our State De-
partment in negotiating foreign
trade agreements which leave us to
hold the bag. According to Mr..
Peek, we sustained a loss of ap-
proximately one billion dollars last
year on our foreign trade. Mr..
Peek takes the position that each
trade agreement negotiated should
stand upon it's own bottom and
of the profits therein conferred
shall accrue to other countries with
which we do not have reciprocal
trade agreements.
This is precisely what I have
been fighting for. Mr.. Peek Is 100
per cent right in the position that
he takes. But, then, he is a practi-
cal businessman whereas those who
agree are negotiating our recfpro-
cal tariff agreements are imprac-
teal theorists, devoid of business
experience and almost without good
common sense.
nave rKoSoANSo huASuS Va 80
tiers from constituents asking for
readjustment Of the present tar
Tiff law, with view to giving the
American producer the American
market. Unfortunately, there will
be no protective tariff legislation
while the New Deal is in control
because they are all free traders.
Any future changes made in the
tariff law will be at the expense of
the American producers.
Again, I say, the tariff will be
the big issue in 1896.
