The usually mild-mannered Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace was
thoroughly aroused during the past
week when he appeared voluntarily
before the Senate Committee on Ag-
riculture to testify on the omnibus
farm program legislation. He took
occasion to deny emphatically that
he had ever said that agriculture
prices were too high. This denial
was occasioned by recent newspaper
report inserted in the. committee rec
ord by Senator Thomas Cd. Okla.)
quoting" Secretary Wallace as say
ing farm prices are too high" and
further rises should be checked. 81
do not recall ever making such a
statement" Mr.. Wallace said. Later
the secretary endorsed the principles
of the omnibus farm bill but dis
agreed with certain provisions of the
proposed legislation, particularly one
dealing with the raising and lower
ing of the tariff rates which he feels
would conflict with the reciprocal
tariff policy of the administration.

East Pine
Exercises Held.

The high school commencement
exercises at Cloverton were held as
scheduled and everything went nice
ly. DR.. Saltus of the Duluth Teach
ers' college, gave very interesting
address on the topic, Life is a
Struggle" Miss Hoglund, who for
merly taught in Cloverton but who
is now teaching at Bruno, was pres
ent and rendered two fine piano Sc
lections. The five graduates were
dressed in cap and gowns, the first
time this has been done in this school,
One interesting feature of this years
senior class is that it is the first one,
every member of which started in
at Cloverton in the first grade and
went all through their school course
in Cloverton. A packed auditorium
greeted the class to give it the
send-off it deserved.
Another interesting feature of the
commencement was the awarding of
certificates of merit to students with
the highest average grades through
the year. In this the following stu
dents received recognition: Seventh
grade, Eileen Halsted; eighth grade,
Rose Tollefson; ninth grade and the
all high for the whole school, Edith
Nelson; tenth grade, Virginia Whit
ney; eleventh grade, Melvin Babcock
and Gladys Snelson had a tie and
were both given awards; and in the
senior class, Forrest Clapper received
the high honors.
c. L. Halsted of Brainerd, who is
representative from Crow Wing coun-
ty in the state Legislature, was in
Cloverton from Friday to Sunday to
visit his folks and to be present at
the graduation of his daughter, Kath-
ryn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Grevious of
Minneapolis, were in Markville visit
ing home folks over the weekend.
The schools of eastern Pine county
held their annual picnic at Riverside
Saturday. It was an ideal day for
the outing and a fine time was re-
ported. A kittenball game in the
forenoon between the grade pupils of
Markville and Cloverton resulted in
a victory for Cloverton A game in
the afternoon between the Cloverton
high school students and a pickup
team resulted in a terrible shutout
in favor of the school students.
Mrs. Omodth and daughter, Leora,
and Mrs. Carl Helwig and children
were here from Superior for a visit
Sunday.
The Markville and Cloverton
schools closed for. the summer last
week, and the teachers left for their
homes and summer activities. From
all reports it has been a very sue
cessful year for both schools
The vacation Bible schools of east
ern Pine county will be held as fol-
lows: Cloverton, June 81 to Is, in
elusive; Markville, June % to July
2, inclusive. There will be four de-

FINGERPRINT METHOD

NEW YORK,-A new method
for enIarging and preserving fin
gerprints, expected to be an aid
in criminal , investigation, has
been developed by DR.. Francis
F, Lucas, director Of the micro
scopial analysis laboratories Of
Bell Telephone Laboratories.
The process involves the appli'
cation of Fleming's re-agent, a
mixture Of osrnic acid and glacial
acetic acid, to the fingerprints
and the exposure Of the treated
prints to ultraviolet rays. Accord
ing to DR.. Lucas, the process is
being studied by the Department
of Justice.
DR.. Lucas said that his method
has several advantages over the
iodine vapor process now used in
most modern police laboratories,
its chief superiority being that
the print Is permanently pEe'
served.
AS DR.. Lucas explained it, fin.
gerprints are formed by small
amount of water and salt and
about SO per cent sebrum, a
deposit of fat from the sebaceous
gland. Old methods of discovering
fingerprints involved dusting on
colored pigments that clung to
the deposit Of fat.
Recently a process was de-
veloped that involved exposing
the fingerprint to an iodine va
por. This made it possible for
prints many months old to be
picked up and investigated under
a telescope or on a Photographic
plate.
DR.. Lucas, however, found that

BARBERING ART
EXT0LLED IN
HOUSE BILL

Barbering threatens to become
either a fine art or the most deli
cate of sciences under terms Of a
bill introduced yesterday by Repre-
sentative James L. Quinn, OF Penn
sylvania, seeking to say who may
be BARRIERS and when.
The bill, joStled about last year,
would set up board Of three bar
bers-two journeymen and one
master barber-who would license
persons authorized to WELD razor
or pair of scissors on their trust
ing clients.
Includes Everyone
Anybody who INDUCES in chair
cutting, shaving or trimming the
beard, singeing or shampooing the
hair or applying hair tonic, mas
saying the face or scalp by hand,
mechanical or electrical apparatus,
and applying lotions, creams oils,
clays or other Preparations to the
scalp or neck" would be subject to
terms of the bill.
Exempt, however, are beauty
parlor operators, undertakers, sur
geons in the Army, Navy and Ma
rine Corps, and nurses. But Repre-
sentative Quinn. who would keep
the trade a skilled and regulated
one, will introduce a beauty parlor
bill later.
License Cost $5
If the barber bill should become
law it would prevent anyone from
barbering without a license, and
would prevent diseased or un-
trained persons from obtaining
licenses. Anybody who's barber
ing now could get a IS license with
out any trouble. Thirty days after
the board goes to work Cat the rate

SIDNEY SNOW will be glad to an
swer any questions on
food.

Exactly where peanuts originally
came from is a debatable question.
Some authorities say from India. 9th
ers contend that they are native OF
the West Indies and West Africa.
Peanuts were known as early as $50
B. C. and most historians believe they
originated in Peru, but were carried
to the Orient and Africa by explorers
and missionaries.
Their cultivation in this country to-
day is confined mainly to Georgia,
Alabama, North Carolina, Virginia
and Texas. These states yield 85 per
cent of the production in this country.
The first sailed peanuts appeared
in 1887, the first peanut vending ma
chimes and the first peanut candy just
after the turn of the century. Italian
vendors with peanut roasters on carts
were the first to sell peanuts in New
York City.
The peanut possesses extraordinary
food value and because of this fact
has become almost universal diet for
man. In fact there is perhaps no
vegetable that has such a wide range

SUNDAY DINNER
SUGGESTIONS


BREAKFAST is a meal whose I'M
portance is not sufficiently realized
in many homes. AS a feature of Child
Health Week and regular child care
the Importance of an adequate break
fast cannot be over-emphasized.
Breakfast can and should be varied
according to the season. With the
orange and grapefruit season gradual
ly waning, berries, melons, fresh pine
apple and stewed rhubarb become al
ternate breakfast fruits.
Smoked meats, ducklings, and fore
quarter cuts of beef, veal, pork and
lamb offer best meat values this week.
Fish is plentiful and reasonable. Eggs
are cheaper and butter prices moder-
ate.
Asparagus, carrots, peas and spin
ach are the chief vegetable values of
the week.
Here are three menus of varying
cost for Sunday dinner.
Low Cost Dinner

Are linked eternally with thee;
Thou art my guardian pure and sweet,
And thou hast made the years replete
With joy in truth and toll and beauty
The lights that line the path of duty.

The thoughts that fill my heart today
To God alone, and thou, and me
Is known my reverence for thee.
