Farmers Urged To
Check Seed Grain
Seed Corn Situation Demands
Immediate Attention, Says
County Agent

Farmers of the county are again
urged by the County Extension Of
flee at st. Cloud to make an accur-
ate check as to their supply Of
good quality seed grain. This warn
ing holds good for both small grain
and seed corn. Most of the damage
to small grain, that affected the
termination qualities of the grain,
was caused by rust, in the case Of
wheat causing badly shrunken
kernels on which in many cases the
termination Is quite low. Then in
addition, oats, barley and other
small grains as well have in many
cases suffered from heating in the
bin due to unfavorable weather at
threshing time last fall, but this
bin heating has caused a tremen-
dous amount of damage as far as
the terminating qualities of much
of the small grain is concerned.
Through the extension office at St.
Cloud samples of small grain have
been sent to the state seed labora-
tory at University Farm, st. Paul,
and have shown a termination test
of as little as per cent. Should
anything of this kind be typical on
any farms it will of course present
a most serious problem.
Shrunken wheat seed can in
many cases be famed over several

Ball Fri. Eve
House of David Team Mar
Ooned In Flood Near
Williston, N. D.
ALL SPLENDID TALENT
Deserve Large Attendance at
Classic In School Gym
Tomorrow Eve.

Marooned! One basketball team
The House of David scheduled to
appear in this city in competition
with the Sank Centre Independent
basketball team wired those in
charge that they were stranded be-
yond the flooded areas in North Da-
kota. But it's an ill wind that
blows nobody good. So fans may
wend their way to the local gym
Friday evening, March 18th, when
the Independents and the Alexan-
dria Firemen will tangle for the
third time this season. In the two
games previous the two teams split
and the game Friday will feature
the play-off. The game was ar
ranged by Pat Dubois, who played
with the Firemen on Tuesday even
ing against the Harlem Globe Trot-
tiers.
Coming east from schedule in
the West the House of David ran
into difficulty beyond Williston,
North Dakota, when they encount-
cred the flooded river bed Of the
Missouri river. Having to abandon
motor transportation the basket
ball troupe retraced their steps
westward in an attempt to get
around the flooded sectors to re-
sumo their eastern schedule. The
water is backed up by ice jams at
Spanish Point, a narrow gorge. Re
quests for army bombers to break
up the ice were met with nays from
the army heads. The delay in the
House of David team will result in
no contest for them.
Where fans lost one they gained
two, for not only will the Alex
Firemen be here but by wire We'd
nesday morning a date was set
with the Harlem Globe Trotters to
appear here on next Wednesday,
March 18th. Travelling with them
is Bunny Leavitt, worlds champion
free throw artist with a record of
400 straight. They're a classy club
and it's a great topper for a good
Independent season.
Season tickets will be acknow-
lodged at neither attraction. Admis-
sion prices for the Alex game will
be Is and 10 cents, for the Harlem
attraction 35 and 20 cents.

Local Men Return
From California
Enjoyed Several Weeks Visit At
West Coast-Travelled
5000 Miles

Ben Carpenter and son, Orville,
III. s. Halverson and Oscar Holm
burg returned Sunday afternoon
from Los Angeles, California,
where they spent several weeks.
The trip was made without mishap
and the $500 miles on the way out
were made in four and one-half
days, while the shorter return Of
24O0 miles, was made in exactly
four days. The entire trip includ-
ing sight seeing jaunts totalled
almost nine thousand miles. Mr..
Halverson has two brothers with
whom he. visited in Huntington
Park and San Pedro. Los Angeles
suburbs.
An extreme southern route was
taken on the way out bringing
them into southern Arizona and
landing them in the Sunshine
state about two hundred miles
south Of Los Angeles. Tia Juana,
across the border, Catalina Is
lands, the Grand Canyon were
among the sights visited. A special
trip into Death Valley on which
they travelled 300 miles was made
while the temperature stood about
100 degrees. In the summer 1t goes
as high as 40 In the Valley. Boul-
der Dam constructed on the Color
ado river afforded one Of the
thrills OF the trip Standing more
than seven hundred feet in height
It is made to retain seven hundred
feet Of water for irrigation pur-
poses. Concern has been felt In
California because of the lack Of
rainfall during the rainy season.
But during their stay it rained two
weeks somewhat relieving the sit
uation. From now on the state
boasts 800 days Of sunny weather.

TWOFirSt Aid
Stations For
West StearnS
Planned For Villages Where
Medical Aid Is Not
Immediately Available
TWO IN WESTERN PART
First Aid Classes Will Be
Conducted In st. Cloud
And Here

Sheriff McIntee, of st. Cloud, was
in Sank Centre Saturday transact
ing business in connection with the
Red Cross Highway Emergency
first Aid Stations, which are plan
ned for Stearns County in villages
where medical aid is not immed-
lately available. He found that all
essential and initial plans had
been well cared for and was elat-
ed at the response given this splen-
did work in this territory.
In the Western part Of Stearns
county first aid stations will be 10
Gated at Padua and Elrosa, and
later when funds are available the
plan includes Spring Hill, Lake
Henry and others.
Mr.. McIntee informed the local
chairman that First Aid classes will
soon begin, and that they will open
in st. Cloud first. Later a school
will be conducted in Sank Centre,
given especially for those who will
be placed in charge of stations
throughout the county. The classes,
will, however, be open to all inter-
ested.
That these stations, now being
established throughout America to
give immediate care to traffic in
jured, are far more than a human
itarian experiment Is shown by the
fact that approximately 80 Euro
pean countries are successfully
conducting similar projects under
Red Cross leadership.
Highway first aid" said Ernest
J. Swift, vice chairman in charge
of insular and foreign affairs for
the American Red Cross, and for
merly Secretary General of the
League of Red Cross Societies in
Paris, can be traced in principle
to the days of the Crusaders. Ex-
listing records indicate that the st.
Johns Ambulance Society of Eng
land functioned at that time"
France alone has more than g.
900 highway first aid posts in oper-
alton manned by 5000 trained per-
sons. The posts are spaced at in
tervals of 20 to 100 kilometers. The
Swedish Red Cross has established
a particularly effective chain Of
these emergency stations. Spain
first instituted the idea more than
80 years ago, maintaining posts at
that time to aid injured motorists
during the Paris-Madrid annual au-
tomobile race. European first aid
stations are established at rural
police stations, roadmenders' huts,
telephone exchanges, tourist homes,
Service stations and other strategic
spots.
Since 1880 the Red Cross Inter-
national Commission on Highway
First Aid and the Central Council
of International Touring have held
regular conferences to standardize
highway first aid posts in Euro
pean countries.
Red Cross Highway Emergency
First Aid Stations in America total
80 actually in operation as of Feb
ruary 1, with 1857 sites chosen and
personnel in the process of train
ing for that many additional sta
lions.

In Accident
Suffered Compound Fracture,
Broken Collarbone, Las
erations and Bruises
PATIENT AT HOSPITAL
Will Have Ambulance Service
In City-Call Chew
rolet Garage

SPECIALIZE. A. F. Moyn-
inhan announced Wednesday
morning that he had made ar
rangements with George Berg
green for the use of the COM
binatiOn ambulance for the
transportation of injured peo-
pie from the scene of accident
to the hospital. Mr.. Berggreen
kindly consented to this ar
rangement and hencefOrth calls
for this service may be made to
the Chevrolet Garage. This is
badly needed service I'm this
community, the lack of which
was brought fOrcibiy to the at
tentiOn of the public owing to
the accident which occurred on
Tuesday afternoon at the Great
Northern viaduct on Main
Street.
Herman Peterson, about 55 years
old, of this city, suffered a COM
pound fracture of the left leg, a
broken collar bone, decorations
about the head and bruises about
the body in an automobile accident
which occurred at the Great Nor
thern viaduct on Main Street on
Tuesday afternoon at about five
o'clock.
Mr.. Peterson, driving a Chevro-
let coupe, evidently had driven in
to the water on the highway under
the viaduct, and believing it i'm
possible to get through, COM
menced to back up. One of
Raymond Bros. large trucks was
also travelling south on the high
way and upon reaching the spot
in some manner hit the left rear
of the Peterson car. The impact
threw Mr.. Peterson out of the car
onto the road into about six inches
of water. He was lying on his side
and his face was under water,
from which position he was extri-
Gated by J. A. Rose and Ed Fett-
gather.
J. A. Rose, an eyewitness of the
accident, stated that the large truck
through the impact was swerved
toward the wood fence along the
sidewalk where a number of little
children were watching the cars
pass through the water. The driver
of the truck pulled with all his
might and the truck went through
a large snow drift, missed the
right concrete pier and crossed
the road, hitting the other pier,
The fact that none Of the little
children were injured is a miracle.
Mr.. Fettgather was coming from
the south and passed under the via
duct just as the accident occurred
IT was only a miracle that saved
him from serious accident. ]. A.
Rose had gone to the scene to
watch the cars pass through the
water, and was standing nearby
when the accident occurred.
DR.. A. F. Moynihan was called
and Mr.. Peterson was taken to the
hospital, although lack of an am
bulance and stretcher delayed
care for some time. DR.. Moynihan
reported Wednesday that Mr.. Pet
erson has an excellent chance for
recovery, but he was still in a
semi-conscious condition late We'd
nesday afternoon.
Mr.. Peterson's leg injury was sew
ere, the bone protruding from the
flesh will make recovery rather
slow Other injuries are not as SER
ious as at first reported, yet he
will be forced to remain at the hos
pital for some length Of time.
