bulletin from the Public Health
Education Committee Of the Min
nesota State Medical Association to
keep flies out of houses and away
from food.
Flies breed in filth. They feed
upon 1t, carry 1t with them on legs,
wings, bodies and deposit 1t from
crop or intestines wherever they
light. There is nothing at all to
prevent them from carrying late
summer infections, even poliomyel-
tits from the sick to the well.
To eradicate flies completely 1t
will be necessary to eradicate their
breeding places. usually in piles Of
refuse or manure, or to screen
these places adequately. Such Grad
ication comes slowly in most COM
munities. Swatting the fly will not
solve the community fly problem,
but it is recommended by the
physicians as an aid to individual
protection against disease and filth.

FIREMEN ENJOY
ANNUAL PICNIC
Kittenball and Horseshoe Games
Bring Forth Merriment At
Outing

Sunday, members of the Sank
Centre Volunteer Fire Department,
their wives and families, enjoyed
the annual picnic at Lembke's truo-
list park. Rain, which fell off and
on during the day, did not dampen
the ardor of the fire fighters, and
hence, did not interfere with a
most pleasant time.
Sports for the day included kit
tenball and horseshoe games, and
practically all of those in attend
ance participated in these events.
Being unused to the strenuous eff
fort required to take part in these
games, most of the firemen COM
plaiped of stiff joints the next day.
Sport events for the ladies were
also included on the program.
Refreshments were served
throughout the day, and the fire
men state the annual picnic this
year was the best ever.

GAMBLERS STOPPED

Following an argument and alter
cation at the carnival Saturday
night, Mayor Hintzen was forced to
close the gambling tents with the
West Bros. Amusement Co. On
Friday night he closed two Of them
and gave them orders to remain
closed. The second closing came at
1920 Saturday night. Most Of the
games put up on carnival lots are
not honest, and 1t is impossible to
win on them. Many Of the games
are controlled when the operator
leans against the counter. and the
wheel or device is stopped at any
place the operator wishes. Reports
of money losses, which were not
small, were reported to the Herald
during the week. 1t is easy to say
that anyone who plays the gamb-
ling stands at the carnival Is a
sucker and should lose-but on the
other hand the authorities Of a city
are also elected to protect the peo-
pie against grafters and crooks,
and that Is what the mayor at
tempted to do.

West Union Boy Enters
Morris Ag. School
Fifty Students At West Central
Are Receiving Practical
Farm Training

Fifty students of the West Cen
trail School of Agriculture located
at Morris, are receiving a practical
training in the business side of
farming this summer through their
work in keeping farm records and
accounts on the home farm. T. H.
Fenske, assistant professor in
charge of summer home project
work at the school, states that in
cluded in the group is the following
from this territory: oliver Beck, of
Sank Centre, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
David Beck, who live near West
Union.
Farming is a business" said Mr..
Fenske, land we are trying to
teach our students to run their
farms in a business-like manner. A
check of the fifty farms involved,
revealed that on only five percent
of the farms had fairly complete
records been kept before, so in
home project work a new practice
is being established. The boys take
an inventory of all property at the
beginning and the end of the year,
keep records of receipts and ex,
penses, keep feed records. and
make an analysis of the business at
the close of the year. This is all
done as a part of the work carried
on by the agricultural school and
the boys receive credit toward
graduation for the project.
The Morris school will open this
year on Monday, September 28th,
for the regular six months term. 1t
is open to any eighth grade grad
uate who wishes to receive a voca-
tional training in agriculture, home
economics, and related subjects.
Business training and music are
also taught. Each year a number of
high school graduates comes to the
school for a year of specialized vo-
cational training. Students who are
interested in learning more about
the state Agricultural School at
Morris are invited to come and Wis
it the institution or write to E. J..
Volden, registrar, for a copy of an
illustrated booklet and the new
bulletin which has just been issued.

Proposed Reductions
In Long Distance. Rates
Application Filed With Federal
Commission Will Effect Calls
of More than 234 Miles

An application to place in effect
on September 1, proposed reduc-
tons in long distance telephone
charges on all calls over distances
of more than 234 miles. has been
filed with the Federal Communica-
tions Commission at Washington
it is announced by Harley For
sythe, manager for the Northwest
ern Bell Telephone Company.
The proposed reductions apply to
charges for both Standardization
calls, when the calling person asks
to talk with anyone available at
the telephone called, and to per-
son-to-person calls. when he asks
to talk with a specified person.
For example, under the new
rates three-minute station-to-sta-
ton call of 300 miles would be
SIPS on week days instead of $2.4O
as at present. The rate after 7 p.
NJ, and on Sunday for such a call
would be IS cents instead of 80
cents, a three-minute station-to-
station call of 1000 miles would be
1925 instead of S3.75 on week days
and $1.S5 instead of $500 after z
p. NJ, on Sunday.
The reductions, if placed in eff
feet, will be the eighth made by the
Northwestern Bell Telephone Com
pany in long distance telephone
rates in the past ten years.
Also, effective September 1, the
telephone company proposes that
the time beyond six minutes of
conversation on any person-to-per-
con call shall be charged for at the
lower Standardization rate. For
merly, this lower rate for overtime
did not apply to person-to-person
calls until after 10 minutes of con-
versation.
This reduction, as was the prev
ious one in January, is made pos
sible by the present upward trend
in long distance usage and by the
operating results from the Bell
Systems policy of continuous de-
velopment and research to assure
the public the maximum service at
the lowest cost consistent with the
financial safety of the business.

LAND BANK
LOANS INCREASE.
936 Farm Purchases Made From
October 1, 1885, to First of
June, 1896

In its program of encouraging
ownership of farms, the Farm
Credit Administration has increas-
ed it's financing Of farm purchases
during the first half of 1896 about
one-third over that for the preced-
ing months.
Figures in Minnesota show that
from October 1, 1885 to the first of
June this year 936 farm purchases
were made in this state with funds
supplied by the Federal Land Bank
of st. Paul and the land bank COM
missioner, says President Roy A.
Nelson of the bank in a statement
given out today.
OF this total 100 were bought
from the Federal Land Bank eth
er on a mortgage basis or contract
terms, and the balance of 756 were
bought from other owners with
funds supplied by or through the
land bank.
Mr.. Nelson said: There has been
a considerable damming up of the
normal demand for farms, partly
due to the recent depression but
also largely because second mort
gage money was not readily avail
able until the scope of the commits
sioner's loans was broadened by
congress in 1885.
"Since that time it has been pos
sible to use commissioners loans
often based on second mortgages,
coupled with land bank first mort
cages to make 1t possible for would
be purchasers to obtain sufficient
funds. With a land bank loan of
about 80 per cent Of the appraised
value Of the farm, plus a commits
sioner's loan for the balance needed
both together being not over rs per
cent Of the appraised value, the
