The course will end February 20.
and registration will be limited to
the 40 men who are first to qualify
says Prof. w. B. Combs, who is in
charge.
Around 5000 creamerymen have
attended these short courses since
they were started back in the
189Os, says Professor Combs. In
deed, it Is almost difficult to find
a creamery plant head in Mime
sofa who has not attended this
course, at one time or another.
Lectures and demonstrations, ac-
companied by many hours Of lab
oratory practice in the Universitys
modern dairy manufacturing room
makes this short course of distinct
practical value. The course Is open
to those who have had at least
one years experience in creamery
work. Subject matter will include
buttermaking, testing milk pro-
ducts, dairy bacteriology, creamery
arithmetic, creamery accounting,
creamery mechanics, dairy cattle
feeding, parliamentary law, and
other subjects of special interest
to young creamerymen wanting to
get ahead.
Besides board and room, the
necessary expense of taking the
course, including fees and books,
will be about $37 Persons wishing
to apply or to get further informal
ton should write to the Division
Of Dairy Husbandry, University
Farm, st. Paul.

AUTO TAX, INFANT
WONDER, BRINGS IN
RIIIInN W.T.

Although but 16 years old, auto
motive taxes offer good example
Of how small sums flowing into gas
stations run into stable streams
when they reach the public treas
ury.
With nearly IS million motor We
hicles in the United States, gaso-
line and auto taxes last year
brought in more than one billion
dollars to be divided among feder-
al, state, and local units, a report
by the Minnesota Taxpayers Asso-
citation states.
License fees paid by car owners
alone amounted to 1904 100000
Small sums when combined
bring large tax yields; likewise
many tax levies pyramid on top of
each other create unbelievable tax
totals. The little things count-ev-
en- in taxes James p Mcdonnell,

Young Mushrooms
Are Easily Mistaken
Amateurs Should Not BE Trusted
To Pick Edible Varieties.
Medic Bulletin Saws

st. Paul, Mushroom
season lasts from early June until
the first Autumn frosts and, by
the same token, there Is still dang
er of mushroom poisoning among
those who trust to amateur selec-
ton of edible mushrooms in Min
nesota.
Warning against trusting to the
inexperienced in selection of wild
mushrooms Is issued in today's
bulletin from the Public Health
Education Committee Of the Min
nosota State Medical Association.
Young specimens are the most
poisonous in the case Of the pois-
onous varieties, according to the
bulletin, and it Is the young mush-
rooms that are the most apt to be
mistaken for edible forms.
Various useless "tests" for trying
the mushrooms to determine
whether or not they are poisonous
are still used by many people who
should know better, according to
the bulletin. Among them is the
silver test by which a piece of
bright silver is placed in the uten-
sill in which the mushrooms are
cooking. If the silver is not tar
nished the mushrooms are mistak-
emily safe to eat.
Actually there is only one means
Of knowing poisonous mushrooms.
That is an expert knowledge of all
of the varieties Of safe and pois-
onous kinds. Amateurs should re-
frain from trying to decide for
themselves such serious ques-
ton.
In general two types Of mush-
room poisoning are most likely to
be encountered. The so-called rapid
type is due to the various forms Of
Amanita mascara. Poisoning TAX
es place within one to three hours
and may be severe But it responds
well to treatment and the mortality
is low. The delayed type, due to
forms of the Amanita phalloides,
produces symptoms from five to
16 hours or more after eating and
death occurs in at least half the
cases.

Excerpts from The Herald Thurs,
Sept. 2, 1935-Items Of Inter-
est Of Twenty Years Ago

The Sank Centre public schools
will not open until Monday, Sept.
18th, 1915. Practically every other
school building in the state opens
Monday Of next week, but the To-
cal school authorities have been
advised that the seats from Chica-
go were not shipped until Wednes-
day Of this week, and it has been
deemed wise not to start the high
school until the grades are ready.
"Wednesday afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs. Hudson and Mr.. and Mrs.
Morton Weeks left in the formers
automobile for a visit with relativ-
es near Eagle Bend. A tire blew
out" about mile this side Of
Browerville and before 1t could be
righted the automobile turned
completely over Luckily no one
was injured and after a little the
travellers were able to proceed on
their journey.
The annual potato contest for
this part of the county for Rural
Schools will take place in the high
school agricultural room at Sank
Centre September 18th.
Thursday, Raymond C. Benner,
p. H. D., research chemist for the
National Carbon Co., of Fremont,
Ohio, stopped off in Sank Centre
to visit his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. Benner, for day. He was on
his way to the American Chemical
Association Convention at Seattle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alex Dryden re-
turned Saturday noon from two
weeks visit with the gentleman's
brother residing near Drayton, N.
d. Alex says that that section Is
harvesting a bumper crop Of small
grain, but that frost has put the
corn out Of commission.
Frank and Dewey O'Gara went
to Minneapolis Saturday for few
days visit. While there they in
spected the new Twin City Speed
way.
J. J. Costello, the Sank Centre
expert cement worker, returned

LOCAL UNITS CUT
DEBTS "a MILLION
IN SEVEN STATES

That tax levies have been slash
ed in local government in Mime
sofa since the tax-reduction pro-
gram started is quite generally
known; however, it is not so well
known that the local units have
also reduced their bonded indebt-
edness, a statement from the Min
nesota Taxpayers Association
points out.
The debt reductions Of local
units have amounted to nearly
$34 100000 since Jan. 1, 1928. In the
same period state bond obligations
have been increased by 500, 909, 1923
to the first Of this year.
Debt reductions by counties from
Jan. 1, 1928 to Jan. 1, 1885, were
S12 ,294, 800. Townships reduced
debts by 81, 100, SOB; cities and vii
lagos by $9,351 800; and school dis

for instructions to the State Live
stock Sanitary Board, State Office
Building, st. Paul. If your flock is
badly infested 1t would be best to
get rid Of all your birds, clean up
thoroughly, and start over again.
Possibly, conditions are not as bad
as that, and the diseased birds can
be eliminated.-A. c. Smith, Divis-
ion of Poultry Husbandry.
My peonies did not bloom well
this year. Can you suggest what
may have been the trouble?
Among the reasons why peonies
fail to bloom are poor soil, poor
drainage, being planted too near
trees or shrubs. planted too deep,
and disease. Take up the roots in
the fall, divide them, cutting away
all decayed or diseased parts, and
reset in good well-fertilized, we'll
drained soil. When divided, each
root should be about inches long
and contain from three to five
eyes or buds. Such roots, at least
three-fourths Of an inch in dame
ter, will give greater satisfaction
than larger, undivided clumps.-
l. Sando, Division Of Horticulture.
How much sugar should be used
in making jelly?
Up to a certain limit, the more
sugar you use, the more jelly you
will get. For example, 1 cup OF
good jellying fruit juice plus v
cup sugar will make about "a cup
of jelly; but 1 cup Of this same
juice plus cup of sugar will make
IL cups of jelly. However, 1t
would be very foolish to use more
than / cup of sugar to cup Of
juice in most cases; not only would
the jelly be too sweet, but it be-
comes sirupy and refuses to "jell"
at all, when too much sugar is used
in proportion to the pectin present
In fact, "a cup of sugar to 1 cup
of juice, Is a better proportion than
1 cup of sugar, in all cases except
the most acid fruits.-Inez M. Ho-
bart, Extension Nutrition Special
list.
How do you recommend feeding
cane to livestock?
The safest plan is to cut the cane,
shock it, and feed it as fodder af-
ter it has cured, just as you would
corn fodder. Ordinarily, I should
think cutting should be done about
the second week of September, and
that the fodder would be cured
enough to begin feeding it about
the last of September or first week
in october. There is always some
danger from prussic acid poisoning
when cane is pastured or fed
green, especially soon after green
cane has been frosted or frozen.
Cane silage is also safe and sat
isfactory feed for livestock, after
the silage has properly fermented.

Book Reviews
By Miss Mynette Lindel01T


"SIIM"-William Wister Haines.
You see them stretching across
country, miles Of steel towers car
rying great cables charged with
power. Here is novel of the men
who built them, the linemen, who,
working within few inches Of
"hot wire," live, love, gamble, and
fight at the same high tension as
the monster they harness.
"Slim' is the story of a young
Southerner who leaves his mule
pillow for the fascination of line
work. He begins as a "grunt," the
man who fetches and carries; he
learns to climb with a cool head;
he learns to guard against the ev-
er-present accidents and the "hot
wire," and he learns what a line
mans wrench can do in a fight.
Befriended by Red Blayd, Slim be-
comes star lineman; together
they travel the states.
The story is revelation of the
pioneer spirit among a group who
live beside us and yet are un-
known.
RELIGION RENOUNCES WAR.
Walter w. Van Kirk.-Dr. Wal
ter w. Van Kirk, executive secre-
tary Of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America,
has done what few ministers and
fewer laymen have the opportunity
to do. He has surveyed all the
forces of the Christian church now
in the field fighting the army of
militarism. He tells what each de-
nomination is doing, which indiv-
idual ministers are leading, and
describes the many lines of ! at
tack.
In it's range of information the
book Is encyclopedia. Here you will
learn just what prominent minis
tiers have pledged themselves never
to participate in, nor condone, a
future war, which ministers have
rallied to the defense Of the con-
scientious objector; which church
es are inspecting their investments
to comb out any investments whose
revenues may derive in any way
from the sale Of munitions.
However, the book does not read
like an encyclopedia, but is ar
ranged as a dramatic narrative of
the fight against war, and in diff
ferent fronts; support of the anti
war covenants and treaties; plans
for its outlawry; the personal
pledges against war Of all the
prominent clergymen who have so
far made them.
