Cutting in too soon after having
passed a car is dangerous practice
When you pass another car going in
the same direction, drive ahead far
enough after you have passed it before
cutting in. This will give the car
you passed an opportunity to maintain
the same speed under safe conditions
If you cut in too soon it will either
cause an accident to your car or you
will drive the other car which you have
passed off the road.
Many accidents have been the result
of this practice and the responsibility
rests with the automobile driver.
Never attempt to pass car when
there is not clear vision ahead. Safe
driving requires good judgment, good
driving, and 'horse sense"

ENABLING ACT
SIGNED BY GOV.
F H A Program Stepped Up
By Passage of Act by the
State Legislature.

Enactment by the Minnesota LegiS-
lature of an Enabling Act which has
been signed by the Governor with re-
Spect to mortgage lending should be OF
the very greatest interest to all who
are concerned with the program of the
Federal Housing Administration, says a
statement issued by State Director Fred
Schilplin An immediate increase in
the number of lending institutions who
are now anxious TO cooperate with the
Federal Housing program has been
noted in the Office of the State Direc-
tor. To date 80 financial institutions
have made application and have been
qualified as approved mortgages
Presently, it is hoped, to have at least
one approved mortgage in every county
in the state.
Under the new laws all such finan-
cial institutions as state banks anG
trust companies, building and loan
associations and other lending agencies
are authorized to make mortgage loans
in accordance with the terms and con-
ditions laid down for insured mortgages
in the National Housing Act. That is to
say, such loans may be made agains!

per cent of the appraised value OF
property and for periods of as long as
20 years, provided that the mortgage
requires monthly payments on principal
and interest sufficient to pay it off by
the time it falls due, and conforms in
other respects to the requirements OF
the National Housing Act and the regu-
lations laid down by the Federal Hous-
ing Administration.
Under this new state legislation. al
financial institutions subject to ths
state law are now placed in position
of competitive equality with the ma.
tional banks operating in the state.
It will be recalled that under the Ma
tional Housing Act itself, all nationa
banks are authorized TO make long-tern
loans up to 30 per cent of appraised
values against insured mortgages Thu!

applications to the Federal Housing
Administration for approval as lender

Chisholm Tribune-A laboratory
worker residing in Detroit thought he
had some good ideas on the matter of
taxation which would be helpful to
President Roosevelt in working out some
of the problems which confront him.
He did not mount soap box and shout
his happy thoughts to a gutterful of
hoodlums but quietly dispatched a
$4,000 word telegram to the chief execu-
tive telling him all about it and further
more he prepaid the charges on that
telegram, the toll on which was about
Sis.
Did Mr.. Roosevelt thank him for such
a display of thought and interest. If
he did 1t has not been announced as

amusing too, to find a settler of the
North claiming damages from the state

Watch for Impetig0
Say Physicians

Among the most annoying contagious
of the Schoolroom is the skin infection
known as "impetigo" which has ap-
peared in large number of Minnesota
schools this spring according to reports
received by the Public Health Education
Committee of the Minnesota State Med
ical Association.
This infection, according to today's
bulletin from the committee, spreads
very rapidly and may be accompanied
by serious complications, if it is long
neglected.
Impetigo begins as a small blister
caused by germ. 1t fills with pus and
then dries leaving yellow crust. The
crusts usually curl up at the edges and
look as if they had been pasted on the
skin. The pus is extremely contagious
and spreads easily in the course of
schoolroom contacts and play from one
child to another. Also from one spot
to another on the victims body.
Teachers and parents are warned in
the bulletin to watch for the appearance
of these crusts, and seek proper treat
ment to heal them and to prevent ex-
change of toys or books or direct con-
tact between the victim and other UNI
infected children until the condition
clears up.
Very little itching or disturbance of
the general health accompanies i'm
petigo and so it is sometimes allowed to
progress to an advanced stage when
control is difficult.
Another troublesome schoolroom skin
trouble is ring worn, recently elevated
to popular interest under the name
of athletes foot" Ringworm is caused
by vegetable parasite and it may
effect any part from the crown of the
head to the soles of the feet.
Young children often suffer from
ringworm of the scalp characterized by
circular patches that are partly bald.
On the smooth surfaces ringworm ap-
pears in round red patches accompanied
by itching. Walking barefooted in pub
bic places Is the source of most ring
worm of the feet.

CAMP FIRES CAUSE
LAKE AREA DAMAGE

Reports have reached the office OF
Grover Comet, director of the Divi-
sion of Forestry and Fire prevention
Of extreme carelessness of campers in
certain sections of Northern Mime
sofa in regard to their camp fires.
Campers are therefore urged to put
out all fires before leaving camp
sites. Vacationists unintentionally
set considerable number of brush
and grass fires in lake areas of the
state, said Mr.. Comet. He advises
campers TO pour water on camp fires
before leaving it. even for short
time. Winds blow sparks into sur
rounding vegetation and il only take
a spark or two to start a raging fire
that can grow into large proportions
in short time. Homes of wild life
and wild life itself and other valuable
property may be the loss. said Mr..

Laos county; Ole Edstrom of Kanabec

ricultural agent of the county. The
meeting was called for the purpose of
discussing the present position and
accomplishments of the corn and hog
program, and also to consider plans
for a 1886 program presented by
County Allotmen committee members.
Claude r Wickard, chief Of the
Corn-Hog section at Washington. pre-
sented the aim of the corn-hOg pro-
gram was to bring a reasonable re-
turn for corn and hog production. It
is not the aim of the program to
raise the price Of products to an un-
reasonable figure but to keep from
again coming back to the less than
cost Of production figures when hogs
hold at from 50 to 50 per hundred
which left farmers with no buying
power. 1t was pointed out criticism
Of the AAA program and that at
tempts to destroy the AAA programs
came from selfish interests.
Some very interesting discussions
followed. The program as a whole
met with favor with some criticism
OF administrative details in some
cases. Practically all Of those present
favored the continuation Of the pro-
gram in 1896.

FARM LOAN BODY
WILL GIVE CASH

Cash in full instead of part cash
and part bonds is now being used by
the Wagner National Farm Loan AS
ISOLATION in the settlement of all land
bank loans made to its members and
all commissioner loans which it
handles for the Federal Land Bank,
says Fred Schoenrock. secretary
treasurer of the association.
For some time cash has been used
for all individual items of 81 900 or
less, and bonds of the Federal Farm
Mortgage Corporation have been used
for larger sums. The new ruling
sent to the association by the Land
Bank in st. Paul does away entirely
with the use of bonds in closing
loans.
Fred Schoenrock said that during
the year or more in which bonds have
been used they have become popular
with investors and one of the prin-
cipal reasons in using them has been
accomplished, that is, introducing
them generally to the public. and Sc
curing widespread distribution.
About so per cent of loans closed has
been settled for with bonds. which
means that through this association
approximately s62,40O worth Of these
bonds have flowed into the hands Of
farmers or their creditors.
AS there are about 100 National
Farm Loan Associations in our 7th
district michigan, Wisconsin. Mime
sofa and North Dakota) these bonds
have gone into hundreds of localities
where they are being held for their
investment value or have been real
lied upon in cash by those who got
them" he said.
