$5,333,5l2 Paid To
WPA Employees
Less Than 81 Percent Paid To
Administrative Staffs of
State and District

Employees Of the Works Admin
istration, up to January 1, had re-
ceived a total of S5.333.512 of
which less than 81 percent was
paid to the administrative staffs in
st. Paul headquarters and the
nine district offices.
Figures released from the offic-
es Of Victor Christgau, state WPA
administrator, showed:
To project workers, S4,707, 1863.
To administrative employees,
$446,6 600.
To students receiving financial
aid, s179,494.
The total payrolls to project
workers by districts were as fol-
lows: Duluth district, S468,S54;
Brainerd district, 500, 1888; st. Paul
district, s1,757,732; Rochester dis
trict, S233,956; Minneapolis district,
s1.246,511; st. Cloud district, S217,-
4S0; Detroit Lakes district, $780,
SAT; Morris district, S199, 122; and
New Ulm district, $120,979.
Following his return from Wash
ington last week, Mr. Christgau
dHHOuHCcu ne ndQ Deen assured Oh
additional funds to permit raising
the work relief employment quota
in Minnesota to $4,000. At present
6O,751 men and women from the
relief rolls are working on Mime
sofa WPA projects.
In regard to the ruling that 80
per cent of the workers, to be ELI
gible for WPA employment, must
have been certified to the relief
rolls between May 1 and Nov. 1,
1885, Mr.. Christgau stated he had
the eligibility period
changed to Feb. 1 to Nov. 1, 1885.
This would mean a considerably
larger number would be eligible
for WPA employment" he said,
land of course it would require
more funds" He added that any
expansion Of the WPA program
such as would be the result from
such a change in the eligibility
period apparently would be a ques-
ton left to Congress to settle.
At present the Minnesota WPA
has S17,700,0O0 at it's disposal which
it is estimated, will carry the pro-
gram through to March Is.

State Senate Approves
Old Age Pensions
Amendments Cut Liberality-Pro-
perry Liens Added to ELM
mate "Chiseling"

The state senate passed the old
age pension bill, So to 6, late Tues
day after adopting three amend
ments which made the bill much
less liberal.
The amendments:
Reinsert in the bill a provision
making pensions paid to a person
lien on his homestead after he
dies, a provision which had been
stricken from the measure last
week.
Postpone the time the act be-
comes effective from the date of
passage to May 1, 1886.
Limit the property which may be
owned by pensioner within the
$1,000 exemption to homestead,
household goods, wearing apparel,
burial lot and up to $500 on any
other kind of personal property.
The Senate majority group turn
ed neat trick on minority mem
bers who voted for a motion last
Friday to refer the bill to the Tax
committee after all pending amend
ments had been disposed of and the
piii was Icduy LUZ d iOii Cdii vi
final passage.
The bill as it stood at that time
was described as more liberal than
any Of the "a state pension laws
now in effect in the United States"
The delay occasioned by send
ing the bill to the Tax committees,
however, gave majority leaders
time to organize their forces and
as a result the three amendments
Tightening up the pension bill were
pushed through Tuesday afternoon
when the measure came up again
for final passage.
AS result the Senate has passed
a pension bill much less liberal
than 1t would have passed had the
final roll call been taken Friday.
The six senator's who voted
against the bill on final passage
are Homer Carr, Of Proctor, Fred
j. Foslien, of Garfield, ]. L. Nc
Leod, of Grand Rapids, and A. s.
of Waverly, all members of
the minority group, and Gerald T.
Mullin and Donald o. Wright, of

bloc.

CROSSBRED PIG SYSTEM
TAKES PUREBRED BOARS

Farmers must use good purebred
boars to succeed with the new sys-
tenn of crossbreeding swine advo-
Gated by the Minnesota agricul-
tural experiment station in Bulle-
tin 800. This precaution is empha-
sized by the authors of the bulle-
tin, who include DR.. L. M. Winters,
o. NJ. Kiser, P. s. Jordan, and w.
H. Peters.
1.-THE new plan," they report,
''has attracted widespread atten-
ton since it was announced last
fall. Requests for the bulletin and
favorable comments from farm
ers have been unusually numerous.
However, the authors wish to re-
emphasize the precaution that good
purebred sires must be used If far
mers hope to reap the benefits that
can be obtained from crossbreed-
ing. It is just as necessary to use
good purebred sires in carrying out
a plan Of crossbreeding as in any
other scheme of livestock breed
ing"
The crisscross system for breed
ing market hogs is based upon 6
years of experiments carried on by
DR.. Winters and his associates.
Owing to hybrid vigor, crossbred
pigs are thriftier and make faster,
more economical gains than pure
breds, and crossbred sows are SUI
perior mothers, giving their pigs a
better start in life than do pure
bred mothers.
Farmers wanting to know the de-
tails of the system and to study the
results Of the experiments should
obtain copies of Minnesota Bulle-
tin 800, "A Six Years Study of
Crossbreeding Swine" County

 Not intentionally, maybe, but he steals them. It's that face, and the things he does with his hands. While other players are reciting pertinent dialog, audie nces are dee voting their attention to MT. Her. bert.
 He never has turned down Q role because of a paucity of lines, but considers his parts only for their opportunities for pantomime.
 He pays no attention to scripts, anyway, but throws them away inn- mediately and plays his roles as he thinks they should be played.

Born With That Face!

He was born in New York city and generally was considered very funny little boy, mostly on account of his face. one of his earliest recOllections is the look of furious resentment that spread over his fathers countenance when some- body opined that little Hughie lock- cd just like his papa.
 There was another time when an acidulous old aunt declared that Hugh closely resembled cucumber. The boy studied himself in Q mirror, and amended the verdict by rec minding his aunt that no cucumber ever was cursed with golden curls.
 Thereafter he'd stand before the migror and practice for hours try- ing to contort his face into resem- biance to that of an ordinary per- son. The only result was a mos bility of expression that made him look. even funnier
 For his first job in the enter. tainment business, Herbert hid behind a movie screen and spoke the lines of all male characters in the earliest talking" pictures. A stock company manager lured him out into the light and gave him a job as an actor.
