Lecture Patron List Announced

Miss Jennie M. o'Neill is chair man of the committee on patrons and patronesses for the lecture by Herbert Thompson Strong on Thurs day evening, December 2nd. at Buckingham hall, under the spon- sorship of the Quota Club. Assist ing her are Miss Harriet Gregory, Mrs, Josephine osborn, Miss Lela Cotter, Miss Grace Wolff, Miss Kathleen Crowley, Miss Alice E. Bradley, Mrs. Catherine Williams.
 MT. Strong's lecture, Revelations in the Realm of Color" is keenly spectacular. By the projection of polarized light, there appears upon the screen the formation of a new world of color farmonies iH1descrih- ably beautiful. MT. Strong has given his lecture from coast to coast, but only once before has he appeared in Connecticut, at Yale University.
 MT. Strong's lecture Is aptly des- cribed as a journey to the land of the Arabian Nights with . beam of white light as the magic carpet and such humble serving men as Q frag- ment of ordinary looking rock, a drop of plain garden variety aspar. agus juice or e bit of nethol to fur. nish the material. MT. strong takes these everyday substances and py polarization, another word TOT breaking up the ray of white light into the primary colors, shows the most marvellous variations of form and color that one could possibly imagine.
 Members of the Waterbury ouota Club who saw Dr. Strong's presenta' ton in New York City when 1t was sponsored by the quota Club .oi New York City describe the lecture by using superlatives and adding that 1t is beyond description.

 To do this he made the safety play of the three of clubs, flnessing the nine in dummy. However, Mrs. Bar f,ey saw through the trap and per. mitted the dummy to hold the trick
 AS South now had no choice, he laid down the two high clubs, but the jack did not drop, and South went down one trick. Dummy's long clubs were useless, and South could win only two diamonds, three clubs, one heart and two spades, one short of the three no trump contract.

of stock issued and outstanding at this
of SIC, 2O2,837. The board of direc-
tors of the Central declared a 25 per
cent patronage refund based on COM
missions collected. This refund is
equivalent to $1O7,S59.96. This makes
total of $1.6O6,8O31O refunded to
patrons since the organization started
Is years ago."
Regarding the Central office at
West Fargo, N. d., Mr.. Carnes pointed
out that 1T was able to stand on it's
own feet during the first year of it's
existence and pay the 25 per cent
patronage refund without assistance
from the South st. Paul office. The
Central at West Fargo is the largest
livestock selling agency on that mar
ket, handling 1924 carloads during the
year, or nearly 25 per cent of the en-
tire business at that market.
Correct Weighing Important.
Arnold S. Jensen, supervisor, Live
stock Weighing department., South St.
Paul, stressed the Importance of state
weighing of livestock. 1.-The Depart
ment of Livestock weighing comes di-
rectly in contact with the farmers and
shippers" he said. The men in charge
of the state weighing of all livestock
are carefully chosen for their task.
Their presence at the scale insures
to the farmer a fair impartial and
honest check on the weight of his
livestock. To-day scattered through
out the state of Minnesota are hun
dreds of scales used by shipping as
sociations and others for the purpose
of catching weights on stock and farm
produce, and in many instances sales
are actually completed before ship
ments are made to the marketing CEN
tiers. l am sorry to say many of these
scales are in very poor condition. A
survey and record made by my depart
ment indicates that many thousand
dollars are lost to farmers through
weighing on INFESTED and uninspected
scales"
