Cart to Coupe for
Veteran Mail Man.

Princeton-A two-wheel cart drawn
by one horse, buggy and team, a
motorcycle and a Chevrolet coupe
served as vehicles of transportation for
Joe Cohoes of Zimmerman who has re
tired after carrying mail for 81 years
on one route. He has received scores
of letters of congratulations on his
excellent record from his friends. When
years ago someone, who was not a
patron on his route, filed a complaint
against Mr.. Cohoes, every patror. wrote
letter to the post office department
concerning him. Accustomed to over
coming difficulties, Mr.. Cohoes, in order
to make a well beaten path while riding
his motorcycle, dragged a long pole
along the side of the road

No Cases Ready
As Court Opens,

WaSeca-Local citizens have evidently
become more law abiding since the de-
preston, as evidenced by the fact that
when district court opened there were
no cases to be tried, in comparison with
100 cases appearing on the civil cal
endar in years gone by. A condition
unprecedented in the legal history of
Waseca county developed at the opening
of the March term at which Judge Fred

cases to be tried. The county's Oldest

of the witnesses in the first case set

Things Not Always

New Ulm-Things are not always
what they seem to be, the person has
discovered who thought he presented a
coffee mill and garden spray to the
Brown County Historical museum. Dur
ing the years which have elapsed since
the objects were made their origin was
completely hidden. 1t now appears
that the coffee milf was not made
for that purpose at all, but as a mill
for grinding birdseed. An early settler
made the mill for his wife who ground
in it the hemp and sunflower seeds she
fed her canary. The garden spray" is
in reality an early model fire ex-
tinguisher, which shows the inventive
ability of another early settler.

State University to
Lay Iron Block Paving

Two experimental stretches OF iron
block pavement will be laid with the
advent of warm weather, Professor E
w. Davis, superintendent of the mines
experiment station of the University of
Minnesota, announced Thursday.
Plans have been outlined for $50
foot stretch of iron paving blocks near
the University Union on the university
campus. A stretch of the iron block
paving will also be laid on the Miller
Trunk near Eveleth.
The iron for paving should be given
a most searching test. It would be a
tremendous advantage for the ranges to
substitute iron for concrete. Steel has
been found satisfactory when used on
approaches to bridges and bridge cover
ings.

WPA Quotas for April
And May Announced.

Victor Christgau, state administrator
of WPA, announces that new quotas
have been set for Minnesota. Quotas
established this week were placed at
$4,000 for April and $4,000 for May.
These quotas, together with the ex-
pected pickup in seasonal private en-

enable WPA to carry on without any
appreciable reduction in the number OF
jobs available for those in need.

There is consumed today in Min
nesota less than 100000 pounds OF
oleomargarine. From the figures, we
can see that, outside of the salt, only
10 per cent, namely, the cottonseed oil,
is produced outside of Minnesota
Otherwise, the oleonargarine is en-
tirely a Minnesota product This 10
per cent of cottonseed oil, less than
100000 pounds annually, amounts to
less than two ounces per capita annu-
ally.
Surely we wouldn't be foolish enough
to prohibit the sale of Minnesota pro-
ducts by law, and it is questionable, to
say the least, whether it is good policy
to prohibit by law the sale of a product
of neighboring state such as the
cottonseed oil which is grown in a
southern state. Wisconsin has tried

retaliation have refused to use Wis
conSin butter, cheese and other pro-
ducts. Minnesota has to sell most OF
its butter in southern and eastern
states. If We prohibit by law products
of other states, they will very likely DE-
the same to our products.
Cotton is competitor of wool in
the manufacture of clothing. Would il
be fair to enact law to prohibit the
sale of cotton clothing so that the WOO

 TOC Give Fair In
 April This Year

The Northwestern Alaska Fair Association directors met last night at Polet's Store to formu- late plans for the next Fair.
 The board of directors is com posed of L. E. Robinson, presi- dent; Cliff Allyn, vice president; A. Polet secretary; LIE. Rynning, Geo. S. Maynard, Fred Tetuk, and Thomas D. Jensen. Three of the board being absent.
 Due to the fact that Nome has held no fairs since the fire of 1884, principally Because there was no hall of sufficient size to accommodate the Fair and its many booths, the Directors decid ed last night to hold two fairs, the first to be held on April 1, 2, 3, and the second in July, so as to be worked in conjunction with the arrival at Nome of the Alas ka Steamship Company's Arctic Cruise, which is planned for this summer.
 The Fair Association is in good financial condition and with the annual contribution from the ter ritorial appropriations, the suc- cess of the undertaking is assur- ed.

Mir. Morgan added. Besides making loans, the association will also be en- powered to receive savings de- posits. which will be protected by Federal Deposit Insurance. All activities of the association are conducted under Federal Govern ment supervision and with Gov ernment money. Although the new association will receive saw ings deposits, the main purpose will be that of making loans read fly available in this community, and eventually to all of Alaska, MT. Morgan said in conclusion.
 Mir. Morgan further declared that the purpose of the local busi ness men in obtaining the charter for Juneau, is to speed and facili- tate obtaining government funds for local home construction, by doing away with the necessity of loans going through Seattle or Portland banks, as has been the case with FILA loans obtained for construction here. A local agency authorized to dispense the home loan funds will be able to do away with much delay and red tape in the granting and putting through of such loans, through the knowledge of local conditions that it will have.

I watched you lntently-

it rasped, "I'm going to be
gay. I must be gay!' Why,
Carole? Oh, of course. may

only twice-and both times

working. And l talked to
you only about an hour all

You have a wonderful sense
of humor. Often it seems to be
directed at yourself. Are you
irving to prove you can take it?
You don't have to do that, you
know, because your thousands
OF friends know you're a swell
