Supreme Courts fate than I, at least,

It is understandable that lawyers,

to such suggestions as President
Roosevelts for liberalization of the
high tribunals membership. Big busi-
nessmen, of course, are wide awake to
all it's implications. So are college
professors; students in general. Labor

means.

Raleigh, Feb. 24-With the Senate
back on the track and the revenue
bill finally passed on third reading,
the legislative express train, which
for time gave indications of becom-
ing a freight train, gives every pro-
mise of putting on speed under a full
head of steam in an effort to reach
an early adjournment.
While the revenue bill as passed by
the Senate contains number of
changes as compared with the bill
that passed the House, the general
belief is that these differences can
and will be ironed out in the confer
ence committee to which the bill will

Questions Pertaining To
Agriculture and Home
Problems Confronting Farmers and
Homemakers Answered BY
University Farm

I would like to know about your
treatment for milk fever. Some of
my COWS have been troubled with
swollen udders and one was so bad
that she lost her milk flow entire
ly. Can the calcium gluconate
treatment be given for this?
The condition you describe indi-
Gates that your animals are affect
ed with mastitis, not milk fever.
Calcium gluconate is not in any
way treatment for this disease.
Mastitis, or garget, is not corrected
by any particular type Of treat
ment. In our experience, applica-
tons Of hot water, hot lard or hot
bran, with gentle massage, are as
successful as any medication. IF
the udder becomes very badly in
famed, a bandage that Is tied about
the cow so that it supports the I'D
der should be used. The essential
thing is prevention. Mastitis Is in
fictitious and highly. contagious. It
spreads from animal to animal by
the hands of the milker, unclean
milking machine cups and infected
platforms on which the animals
stand. Animals affected in this way
should be segregated from the
others, milked last, and the hands
OF the mixer carefully cleaned and
disinfected between the milking of
each animal-C. p. Fitch, chief

sources was killed in the House 81

number OF the members Of the
House who had voted with Mr..

Representative Herman Damann

Is ample to meet the power needs
Of Minnesota farmers If it is TAX

not be wise for the State to go in
to such a tremendously large ex-
penditure in a program such as
proposed by the Stockwell bill.
The Liquor Fight
Fred Curtis, Democratic Candi-
date for Governor during part Of
the last campaign, and friends Of
the Governor, has been retained to

the Governor Is supporting. $500
was the down payment on his SER

when he testified before the House
Committee.

than fifteen years OF their sentence
may be granted a new trial by the
District Judge upon their petition

the State Senate. The petition must
be presented within six months
after the bill passes-if it passes.
Loan Shark Legislation
Loan sharks take Five million
dollars annually from the poor peo-
pie Of Minnesota, with exhorbitant
interest charges, according to re-
cent article in the magazine TO
DAY, national publication.
In an effort to correct this stu

Farmer Laiborite, introduced a bill
to license and strictly regulate
small loan companies, which pro-

est with maximum on small loans
unsecured Of two and one-half per.

Observations From
Washington

Emergency Crop and Feed Loans
Many have written me with ref
erence to emergency crop and feed
loans for the coming crop season.
I have had this matter up with the
Farm Credit Administration and
have been informed that applica-
ton for crop and feed loans may
be made NOW! I have been asked
by the Farm Credit Administration
to stress the fact that these loans
will be made only to farmers who
have no other source Of credit; also
that there will be no duplication of
the work Of the Resettlement Ad-
ministration since Emergency Crop
Loan officials will not advance
funds to any farmer who has re-
cefved, or Is to receive, a standard
rehabilitation loan from the Reset
Element Administration during
1887. Farmers who can qualify for
loans from Production Credit Asso-
Citations will also be held ineligible.
$500 is the maximum loan this year
to any one farmer but Emergency
Crop Loan officials point out that
in each case loan will be made
only in the amount actually neces-
sary to grow crops or maintain
livestock until pasturage or forage
crops are available. The interest
rate this year is four per cent. The
Farm Credit Administration offic-
ials say that these loans will be
made, as in former years, by field

With the Legislative Session in its

In an attempt to answer this Inn
portant question in fair and con-

tors have worked out an exchange
plan whereby a different editor
visits the legislature each week
and writes his impressions Of what
is going on. This weekly summary
of legislative news is an attempt to
present happenings of interest to
all of the people in the State OF
Minnesota. Each week a country
editor will write the news, and the

this series:

Minneapolis, Feb. 22.-Suits are
of such great importance this
spring that they will be almost a
must uniform for women. But don't
worry about that uniform word,
because varied styles and individ-
uaa accessories will not make look
alikes of us. There are four major
suit themes man tailored, fem
inized, swagger and wardrobe or
top coat.
The feminized suits are made of
soft fabrics and in colors. The
jackets are usually short and fit
ted and much attention is given to
feminine detail. They are almost
dress like in appearance. Individ-
uai is the word that describes
them. The gaberdine suit win be of
great importance. Twills, tweeds
and serges will follow close be-
hind.
Accessories are the trifles that
will make or break your spring
clothes. Accessories are all import
ant this year. They must be right
in type and color and they must be
in keeping with the costume and
the place 1t is worn. In selecting
color make sure 1t blends with
your costume and that the varied
accessories are in the same color
family. For example, a navy blue
suit Is worn with a dusty pink
blouse and deep rose red accessor-
les. The value and intensity Of the
>colors may vary, but not the actual
-colors. The smart thing this season
Is to have two and not three ac-
cessories matching II. such as
shoes and gloves bag and
gloves or bag and shoes. It Is no
longer fashionable to match access
ordes from head to foot.
Bracelets will be worn over and
under your gloves. Wear two small
bracelets on one arm or wear
matching bracelets, one on each
arm.
It is going to be necessary to pay
a lot Of attention to stockings this
spring. Short skirts make us def
tnftely certain Of this statement.
Skirts are higher up than they
have been since the above the
knee days Of 1925. Even the skirts
Of our party dresses are on the up
and UP. Stockings are brighter and
lighter than ever. The colors you
VIVA want to wear include blond

By DICK cULLUM
Sports Editor Of
TIE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL


Minneapolis, Feb. 22.-Although
his forecasts are tinged with pes
simism, there Is always a thread of
truth in what Bernie Bierman says
about the future of his Minnesota
football team Too often we have
heard him drop a word Of gloom,
have dismissed 1t as typical coach's
propaganda only to learn later that
he was speaking the sad truth.
In time one gets to know when
Bernie Is saying something that
may be taken as gospel. Recently
at Montgomery he repeated re
mark he had made before. He said,
I'VE have now had several weeks
of indoor work with our freshmen
squad. It Is not wholly al bad
squad, but I am convinced It Is
somewhat weaker than the fresh
men squads of recent years which
fed material into our three nation
al championship teams. In the past
we have been able to depend upon
new players to fill the gaps made
by graduation. Next fan we shall
have to depend mainly upon i'm
provement in the old players. The
present freshmen VINO will be
sophomores next fall will not make
the normal contribution" Maybe
we should anahze this statement a
little. It is fortnight, or Is there q
bit Of avasion in It?
The truth is a coach may nor
nally expect 10 or IL pretty good
men to emerge from the $50 fresh
men who start practice. If he gets
that many good men 1t makes little
difference how weak the rest Of
them are. When Bernie says the
freshmen squad averages weaker
than past freshmen squads, he Is
just taking an average, or he is re,
ferrdng to the top dozen men?
IF the top dozen men are alright,
It Is Of no consequence that the
rest of the boys pull the average
down, because the rest Of the boys
will not be needed anyway. II 10 to
IL good men emerge they will be
enough.
The answer to the question pro
baaoiy is that Bernie is partly right,
