FARM HOUSES IN
NEED OF MORE
CONTINGENCIES

Dwellings equipped for more
comfortable living are one of the
biggest needs of Minnesota farms
today, says H. B. White, agricul-
tural engineer, University Farm,
st. Paul. Farm houses, he says,
may reasonably aim at the same
standards of convenience found in
village homes, meaning that they
should be equipped with furnaces,
sewage disposal, running water.
and electric lights.
Little more than a beginning
has been made on such a program
in Minnesota. At present only
Is per cent of the farm homes of
state have electric lights, only
seven per cent have bathtubs, and
four per cent have sewage dis
posal.
Installing sewage system re-
quires only small cash outlay,
says Mr.. White, and the rather
large amount of labor involved
will help relieve local unemploy-
ment. Supplying running water
requires more planning, but is
really simple compared with serv-
icing an automobile, a task many
farm boys undertake without hest
tation.

City Shares Boys Disappointment
At Cancellation of Scout Jamboree

The entire community almost as
disappointed as they are, Lyman
Hassenstab, Robert Paffrath and
James Parsons were informed Fri
day morning that their long
and enthusiastically planned trip
to the scout jamboree at Wash
ington, D. c. August 81, can not
be.
Because of an epidemic of in
fantile paralysis in that section,
President Roosevelt, under whose
direction the rally was to have
been held, announced cancellation
of the convention. He will, how
ever speak to boy scouts and their
leaders by radio at 9 p. M, Aug
ust Fl.
The crushed hopes of the Red
wood Falls scouts will be shared
by 10000 other scouts from the
United States with whom they
were to camp for a ten day per-
iod.
The trip fund amounting to
nearly 500, part of which was
raised through the presentation of
a benefit movie at the Redwood
theatre, will be put into the gener-
al scout fund and will probably be
used to purchase needed equip
ment unless the jamboree is sched-
uled for later date.

his pouch at one time and the
same gopher unload such pouch
full between 80 and 40 times in his
winter home, how many oat kerr
nels will all the gophers of Rock
county store away in one season?
Leo Dresser, traffic census enum-
orator on highway Is, became
slightly dizzy recently trying to
figure out the answer to this pro-
blem. The cause for the arithme-
teal gymnastics was the drown
ing of a gopher on which Dresser
had been keeping an unofficial
census as he crossed the highway
into an oat field and re-crossed
back to his home on the east side
Of the road. Out of curiosity,
Hemme examined the gopher's
pouch and counted 120 kernels
lodged there. If this particular
gopher could be counted as aver
age, Dresser decided that this
years oat crop was really bump
er for the pesky farm rodent.

CREDIT EXPANDS

A report made public by Elmer
A. Benson, state commissioner OF
banks, indicates an expansion IN
credit in Minnesota. Figures for
nearly 500 banking institutions

banking division show that loans
and discounts of the reporting
banks increased from $70,635 1868,
as of the bank call of December
81, 1884, to STE, 464,328, as of the
call of June 90, 1855 total gain
of $4,828,48 This rising trend
of credit contrasts sharply with
the tendency of the similar six
months period of last year, when
loans and discounts of the report
ing banks decreased by $685.. 419.

italian armies invading northern

Poi Shot at Bird Nav
Have KindIed Flame
NEthiopian Warfare

NEW YORK, Oct. A pot
shot at q bird, fired by soldier,
may have been the spark that ig-
nited the flames of war in Ethio-
pia, according to DR.. Pitman Ben
jamin Potter, member of the inter-
national committee of four which
Sdjudicated the Ualual incident
when firing between the italian
and Ethiopian forces first started.
DR.. Potter, who returned here
from Europe, said that one wit
ness heard by the committee tes-
tifisd that last December 1900
Ethiopian troops were opposite
500 italian native troops at
ualual.
One soldier fired at a bird, and
that shot started hostilities. The
echo Of the shot was the signal
for a general outbreak of firing,
which did not end until the
Italian forces brought up tanks
and airplanes to rout the Ethio-
plans.

POISON GASES
TO AID ITALY

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 GN.S0.
Poison dust" and TX" mustard
gas, latest chemical instruments of
death, will be among Italy's most
effective weapons in Ethiopia, it
was revealed here today by Major
Gen. H. L. Gilchrist, chief of the
United States Bureau of Chemical
Warfare during the World War.
He said:
"MuSSOlini has within the
past few years made q cOncen-
trated drive to develop a chemi-
cal warfare service inferior to
none. He has succeeded. OF
the two new gases the mustard
type, I believe, is the most eff
fective for MussOlini's purpose.
Planes could swOOp down over
valleys and towns and within
two hours completely Squelch
hidden frreguIarS.'
The poison dust" type Of gas
contains chemicals in solid form
so finely ground that no gas
mask as yet developed has been
able to render it useless.
The mustard gas will eat
through clothes, leather, and
skin. 1t does not kill, but makes
the soldier helplessly sick and of
no value to an army, General Gil
christ said.

Italians opened a mass attack on

Ethiopian tribesmen in an at
tempt to swing around from Mt.

Ethiopian railway, it was reported,
while far to the north fighting
shifted from the air to the desert
with another $4,000 Ethiopian
guerilla warriors holding up the

Word of two more air raids, not
officially confirmed, brought fears
in Adds Ababa to a crucial point,
with a great exodus from the city

a hail of bombs on the capital is
imminent.
5000 Killed or Wounded
Harar, large eastern town, and
DesSye, $50 miles north of here,
were the reported targets of the
latest bombing attack. Telegraphic
communications with Dessye have
been cut off.
Casualties in the north, where
10000 Italian infantrymen were
advancing over difficult terrain
under cover of tanks and cavalry,
were estimated to total more than
5000 killed and wounded, as a
result Of the bombing of Adowa

BRITAIN. LIKELY
TO SHIP ARMS
TO ETHIOPIA
Export Ban Due to Be
Lifted; Merchants
Protest Sanctions
By H. X. REYNOLDS

LONDON, oct. 4 QN.S0.
Great Britain will lift the arms
embargo against Ethiopia within
q few days, it was authoritatively
predicted today as British cab
met ministers informally took up
the issue.
While the British government
debated the actuality of war and
considered what action to take in
the view of hostilities, it took
steps to keep The United States
fully informed of all British
moves in the talo-Ethiopian sit
uation.
Grandi Calls
Ray Atherton, counsellor to the
American embassy. called at the
Foreign Office in this connection.
Atherton followed by, a few min
uteS Dino Grandi, italian am
baSSador, who had a 40-minute
interview with Sir Samuel Hoare,
foreign minister.
Reports that Ethiopia Is receiv-
ing arms and ammunition from
the United States and Japan
cropped up again, but could not
be verified in official quarters.
Sanctions Protested
While Whitehall insisted that
no agreement has yet been
reached on what form sanctions
will take if the League Of Nations
decides to apply them, q report
that Britain and France had agreed
not to apply military sanctions
was officially denied.
A wave Of protest against even
economic sanctions began develop
ing today among business men
in this nation Of Shopkeepers,"
due to the fear that Britain would
sustain heavy losses. particularly
in the metal market, of which
Italy IS a good customer.
A business deputation, it was
suggested. may call upon the gov.
eminent to urge utmost caution"
in approaching the question Of
sanctions.
