CHRISTGAU WARNS OF
NEW TRUCK PURCHASE

Truck statesmen and WPA workers
this week were warned by Victor
Christgau, state WPA administrator,
of regulations which have a bearing
on persons who plan to buy new
trucks and pay for them out of WPA
earnings
my attention has been called"
said Mr.. Christgau, Ito the fact that
in a number of cases, truck sales
men have contacted non-relief truck
owners who are operating under con-
tracts with the WPA and are endeav-
oring to sell them new trucks on the
argument that WPA work will last for
some time and that they would, there
fore, have no trouble in completing
payment for the new truck.
Zone of the requirements for con-
summation of contract is that the
truck be owned by the contractor
prior to Nov. 1. Consequently. trucks
purchased after that date are inelig-
ible for contracts with WPA. This
fact should be generally understood.
to avoid inadvisable investments on
the part of truck owners and diff
culties on the part of the agencies"

MOOSE LAKE CLASSES
AGAIN INTERRUPTED

Some classes of the Moose Lake
school were burned out of their quar-
tiers a second time Tuesday morning
of last week when fire almost COM
pletely destroyed the Church of the
Holy Family in which they were
housed since the destruction of the
school building year ago. The
third. fourth and fifth grades of the
Moose Lake public school had been
housed in the basement of the church
and the fire is thought to have been
started by an .overheated furnace.
1t is estimated by members of the
church board that the loss will total
between $4,000 and $4,000. Damage to
school equipment will total approx
mately $4,000. Both the church and
the school equipment, of course, are
partially covered by insurance. Re-
building of the church will not be at
tempted before spring. but repa'r on
the school quarters in the building
will be made Immediately so that
classes may be carried on as before

COURT DECLARES
AAA INVALID
Supreme Body Throws New Deal
Farm Program Overheard by
6 to 3 Vote.

The Supreme Court of the United
States handed, down it's decision as
to the legality of the New Deals
AAA farm program and declared it
unconstitutional by a six to three
vote. The courts opinion, presented
by Justice Owen j. Roberts, scrapped
the whole scheme of AAA crop con-
troll and reduction; the bankhead cot
ton act; the Kerr-Smith tobacco act;
and the newly enacted potato control
law. Three justices, Stone, BranGeis
and Cardozo dissented from the six
to three decision and the assenters
opinion was that states rights were
invaded in the act.
The courts decision it is seen by
observers, places a crushing financial
burden on the administration as it
means, according to an Interpretation,
that the government is obligated ac-
cording to latest AAA estimates, to
pay $500 100000 which it has con-
tracted to give to farmers under the
AAA crop scheme. To meet this pay
ment it will be required to find some
new form of taxes as the whole sys-
TEN of processing levies under AAA
was destroyed. In fact, it is difficult
at this time to estimate the exact
extent of the invalidating opinion,

Into the thunderous noises of the

the congress few days ago discussed
the attitude of the United States to-

With the domestic and allegedly
political aspects of this document the
present surveyor has nothing to do

calling attention to the probable fact
that the presidential statement on

ruled out. This supposition is borne

CAT CHEWS LAMP
CORD AND DIES

A cat may have the proverbial
mine lives" but electricity is no
respector of facts and figures as
is seen in the electrocution of a
playful kitten belonging to a Fer
tile family. The kitten helped to
sign it's own death warrant when
it chewed an electric light cord
leading to bridge lamp. When
discovered the kitten could, not re-
lease itself until the current was
turned off and when this was done
it was found that the pets mouth
was severely burned.
The following day its tongue and
mouth were swollen to such an ex-
tent that it could not eat 1t was
hoped for several days that the
injuries would heal and that the
animal might recover but finally
these hopes vanished and it was
disposed of. All nine lives of the
cat were thereby snuffed out, but
eight of them, it is believed,
through electrocution.

After more than 81 years of service
to the University of Minnesota, Profess
sOr w. p. Kirkwood (above) will re-
tire early this month from his duties
as chief of the Division of Publica-
tions at the University Farm. Credit
ed with many lasting achievements
for the University and Minnesota
newspaperdom, Mr.. Kirkwood looks
forward to his retirement which he
says will give him an opportunity to
try some things he has long been
wanting to do. In part he will engage
in free-lance writing for leading agri-
cultural journals and magazines.
Mr.. Kirkwood joined the University
Farm staff October 1, 1914, and not
only took over the work of editing
bulletins but developed a news agency
to furnish the daily, weekly and farm
press with informative articles for
the benefit of rural readers.

In the course of his work as bull

ism ever offered by the University OF
Minnesota and out of these courses
has grown the present Department of
Journalism, one of the best in the
country. Mr.. kirkwood was also re-
sponsible for starting the printing de-
partment of the University. Oriei-
nally the printing shop was intended
to be small laboratory fer journal
ism students, but under pressure of
wartime needs it gradually took over
much of the University printing.
From his earliest connections with
the University, Mr.. Kirkwood main
tanned close relationship with editors
of the Minnesota country press, de-
voting much time and effort in assist
ing in the improvement of newspa-
pers. In 1915 the Editors Short
Course was established with the CO.
operation of several of the states edi-
tors and has been held annually with
growing interest and attendance.
For several years Mr.. kirkwood al
so edited a house organ for country
weeklies and through the short course
and house organ the Minnesota Edi-
torial Association was assisted in eff
fecting reorganization as a business
building association with a paid field
manager-a change that has bene-
flied the newspapers of the state and
the communities that they serve.
Born in Ohio.
Born near Steubenville, Ohio, in
1867, Mr.. Kirkwood received his early
schooling in eastern Ohio, later COM
ing to Manchester college, st. Paul,
from which he was graduated in 1890.
He then entered daily newspaper
work serving on the Minneapolis Jour
nal and the Minneapolis Tribune.
Later he was invited to re-join the
Journal staff where he remained for
several years serving successfully as
district court reporter, telegraph edi-
tor, assistant city editor, foreign news
and literary editor. In 1907 he left
the Journal to do free lance writing
and seven years later joined the De-
partment of Agriculture of the Uni
versity of Minnesota.
