A pleasant recollection of a
trip across southern Iowa was the
public square around which the
business section of many towns
was built. Here the farmers
wife and her kiddies may relax
over triple dips and popcorn.
Here are seats a-plenty where the
men may sit and visit with their
friends if they have missed the
first show. And here, perchance,
boy meets girl. But here in our
scenic city we clutter up the
street corners and ooze over the
curb, most especially by the Red
wood Grocery.
Briefly stated, the business
people of the county seat would
win not only the shekels, but the
great good will of the community
if they could be coerced or cajoI-
ed into providing some place
where the folks could go and get
out from under the feet of the
harrassed grocery clerks.
we appreciate the efforts of the
merchants in attempting to re-
serve parking space for out of
towners; but the futility of this
gesture is obvious when one con-
slders the comparatively small
size of the business section with
the size of the Saturday night
crowd. And speaking of accom-

That describes those folks who,

boys and girls of all ages it is
something like a wall1athon and
to those who can sit in their cars
and watch the fun go by, it's a

In the meantime, the best hope
for avoiding the disease is to
avoid contact as far as possible
with all summer infections.
It is now generally agreed that
every "polio" epidemic is accom-
panied by a large number of So
called abortive cases. These peo-
pie are ill but do not develop the
characteristic paralysis. They UNI
doubtedly are capable of infect
ing others, some of whom will de-
velop paralysis. Many of these
cases are regarded as ordinary
stomach upsets or respiratory in
fections and no effort is made to
protect others from contact with
them.
Any illness, particularly in the
season of greatest prevalence of
infantile paralysis, should have
good care and watching. The

WPA, since it began operations
approximately two years ago, has
increased the buying power in
Redwood county by $192,249, &C
cording to data made public this
week through the New Ulm
office, in charge of operations in
this area.
In the state as a whole, WPA
has paid out $64,759, 645.43, as of
June l. "This money" according
to Victor Christgau, state admin
istrator, ''has served a two-fold
purpose. 1t has been paid as wag-
es to persons who otherwise
would have been idle or on direct
relief, thereby not only providing
an income for the worker and
those dependent upon him, but has
helped all lines of business in
each community. AS a result of
the labor of these workers, the
state is dotted with worth while
projects, some large and some
small, which remain as lasting
benefits to be enjoyed by gener-
atoms to come"

Eveybody's Health

The largest number of cases of
poliomyelitis occurs in late sum-
mer and early fall and a word of
caution is therefore given in the
bulletin issued by the Minnesota
State Medical association, against
neglect of any summer illness.
No safe vaccination or immun-
ization has yet been discovered
for protection against infantile
paralysis. Recent experiments in
a chemical spray which will pro-
tect nasal passages from entry of
the virus of the disease are inter-
esting and hopeful. But the
method has not been sufficiently
well tested on human beings to
be recommended, as yet, for gem

County Nurse Is
Now On The Job
Miss Marian Krogdahl, LO-
Gated at Hinckley, Invites
the Cooperation of All.

Pine county has a full time nurse
now since Miss Marian Krogdahl has
established her headquarters in
Hinckley near the center of the coun-
ty. She visited northern Pine county
Tuesday to get acquainted with the
doctors and leaders in the various
communities and stated her desire to
establish an effective program in the
county.
AS there are some cases of small
poX present in the county at this time,
it is evident that parents and others
should do all they can to eradicate
the disease by immuniZation which
is the only sure way.
Miss Krogdahl is a graduate of the
Virginia high school and attended
the Virginia junior college for two
years. She received her nurses
training at the Norwegian American
hospital in Chicago and took post
graduate course at the University of
Minnesota in public health work.
She comes to Pine county well rec

.Chauffeurs Must
Renew Licenses
Secretary of State Warns
That Prompt Action is
Needed to Avoid Penalty.

If licensed chauffeurs of the state
would avoid paying penalty they
should renew their licenses during
the month of November, says Mike
Holm, secretary of state. The law
provides for a penalty of one dollar
for those who delay their renewal
after the month of November and if
the delay is extended sufficiently the
renewal cannot be made without eX-
animation.
On the last day of October appli-
cation blanks were sent out from the
secretary of states office to every
licensed chauffeur in the state. Some
have been returned because the Ii
censee had moved without leaving
forwarding address. The law does
not require that blanks shall be sent;
they are only sent as an accommodate
ton If there is any one who did
not receive his, however, the depart
ment will be glad to send another
upon request, but the application for
renewal must be mailed to the Sec
retary's office before December l to
avoid penalty.

PensiOner Funeral
Bill Is Explained

Due to some misunderstanding as
to the funeral expense for an aged
person who has been receiving old
age pension, the following eXplana-
ton has been sent out for publication:
On the death of a recipient, the
county agency may pay an amount
for reasonable funeral expenses, not
exceeding $100. No funeral expenses
shall be paid if the estate of the
deceased is sufficient to pay such eX-
penses, or if the children, or spouse,
who were legally responsible for the
support of the deceased during his
lifetime, are able to pay such eX-
penses. In determining the suf-
fciency of such estate due regard
shall be had for the nature and mar
ket ability of the assets of the estate.
The county agency may grant fun
eral expenses where the sale would
cause undue loss to the estate. Any
amount paid by the county as fun
eral expenses shall be prior claim
against the estate, as provided in
Laws 1884, Chapter 70, Section 108,
and any amount recovered shall be
paid to the treasury of the county
which paid said expenses and be
deposited in the county old age as
sistance fund, and SO per cent there
of shall be paid to the state agency.

Seal Sale Viii Start
Today, November rs

Concerned over an upward swing
nesota last year, an army of some
10000 volunteer leaders representing
rural schools, villages, towns and
cities in the state, start the 31st an
nual sale of Christmas Seals this
week determined to raise sufficient
funds to intensity the program against
this disease.
In the increased rate is reflected
the accumulated results of the years
of economic depression, according to
DR.. Kendall Emerson, managing di-
rector of the National tuberculosis
Association, who reports that "a states
in the nation showed an increase in
1886 for the first time in many years.
'By a concentration of effort we
hope to start the annual mortality
from this disease once more on its
downward trend. A people alert to
threatened danger will cooperate to
avert it," said DR.. Emerson. Though
the rise in tuberculosis mortality is
slight at the moment, it should be
taken as a call to arms. The people
of the country should give every
aid to push back this ruthless enemy
before it has regained an appreciable
amount of the ground from which it
has been forced to retreat"
The 1887 Christmas Seal campaign
with its Town Crier design is an
appropriate call to arms to every
body for the renewal of the aggres-
sive battle to hold the ground gained
in the fight against tuberculosis. The
seals can be purchased in every rural
district through the schools and in
every town and city through Christ
mas Seal committees. Widespread
use of the double-barred cross Christ
mas Seals all through December is
urged

Extension Program
Set For The Year

About 80 farmers met at the school
house at Sandstone on November II,
to outline a county extension pro-
gram for the coming year.
1t was decided that All Club work
should be given one of the main
places on the program. Another i'm
portant project which was decided
should be taken up during the COM
ing year was home projects for
women and arrangements will be
made to get this work started as soon
as it is available The soils conser-
walton work, of course, will be one
of the large projects during the COM
ing year also. Under livestock pro-
jects, it was decided to put the en-
phasis on dairy cattle and sheep as
is was felt that these two classes are
best fitted to the county. Other i'm
portant phases of the program which
were discussed were poultry, crops
and weed control. More informa-
ton will be available at later date.
R. NJ Douglass, district county
agent leader for the northeast dis
trict, was present at the meeting and

There is an old custom of cele-

the presentation of gifts and there
fore the anniversary of a certain
span of years has been popularity
designated as a certain time for

Bangs Testing Is
Made Available

Attention has been called to the
fact that many farmers would like to
have their cattle tested for Bangs
disease if they were familiar with
the requirements, according to Max
McMillin, county agent.
The federal government is COOP
Grating with the state in attempting
to eradicate Bangs disease in cattle
and under the plan, cattle owners
can have their herds tested free of
charge and the government will pay
an indemnity up to S25 on grade
cattle except grade bulls and up to
$50 on all registered cattle.
Any farmers who would like to
have their cattle tested for Bangs
disease should either get in touch
with the county agents office, see
Chris. Frederiksen at Askov, or place
their names on a list that will be
started in various stores in Askov.
