Let EN- Pass, AUOid

If the other fellow comes up behind
you on highway, toots his horn and
starts to pass, don't race him, its ex-
pensive. This is the warning of the
Minnesota Highway patrol. 1t might
cost you 500 or it might send you to
Jail for 80 days. That's the maximum
penalty provided by the new traffic
code. Since the new law becomes ef-
fective the patrol has arrested a score
of drivers for violating Section "a, which
forbids speeding to prevent passing.
An Iowan resented car passing him
near Fairmont. He stepped on it" and
was travelling 55 miles an hour when a
highway patrolman caught him. He
paid $40 fine, and 81 costs. A man
from Blue Earth paid $3.50 for the
same offense. Others about the state
have found the violation equally as ex-
pensive.

P. Arnoldy of the patrol, "and danger

into the left lane to pass legally, it
is highly dangerous if another vehicle
refuses to let it pass for it will probably
be difficult to get back into line in case
a car approaches in the opposite direc-

TO pick up all offenders"

st. Cloud Has
Sister Cities.

st. Cloud-This city, built along the
shores Of the Mississippi and famed for
its granite industry, has six sister
cities for "St. Clouds" flourish in Wis
consin, Florida, West Virginia, Penn
!sylvania, and in foreign countries.
Raising its feeble head against the
wilderness, st. Cloud, Wisconsin, was
given its place on the map by the rail-
road then originating from Sheboygan.
The village has a population of 265.
st. Cloud, Florida, has 5000 popula-
ton. 1t was founded Is years ago as
community of veterans from the
United States military service and is
now distinctly a residential town where
these veterans spend their declining
years. Swinging northward from Flor
ida, enroute to st. Cloud, Minnesota
two other villages of the same name
are found in eastern states; st. Cloud
in West Virginia with 40 inhabitants, st
Cloud in Pennsylvania with population
of SO. France and Algeria each have a
St. Cloud, also.

HENS ARE
NATURALLY HONEST.

You aren't dealing with the proverbial
''city slicker'' when you deal with hens.
They simply can't wear a poker face;
SO you can give up the notion that they
will fool you if you are not pretty
smart. As matter of fact, they tell
the truth so regularly and unhesitating-
ly that you never need mistake their
meaning.
Right now am worrying about those
Of you who are afraid to Gull your hens
until they have molted. That is the
time when you are likely, if ever, to mis-
read the signs. BY then they all look
SO much alike that only the experienced
person can sort them with any degree
Of accuracy. Quite the opposite is true
when the first hens go on strike in early
summer. June is usually the beginning
of long vacation for these hens.
How plainly they stand out among
the workers! Combs grow pale and
begin to shrivel, beaks start to turn
yellow and the hens themselves Loaf
along with nothing of real importance
on their minds. Your layers, however
are just the opposite. They are still
bright and rosy about the head ever
though their coats may be bit ragged
and they work easily all day as if they

Patrol Takes Fling
At House TraiLerS.

Every house trailer, and all towed
vehicles being transported on the
streets and highways of Minnesota, will
be violating the new traffic code if
they are not equipped with brakes that
can be operated by the driver of the
towing car. This is the warning of
the Minnesota Highway Potrol. Most
manufactured house trailers are so
equipped, according to Captain Frank
Corcoran, of the patrol, and dealers who
transport new machines can obtain
proper equipment. Section 105 of the
new traffic code provides: Every
trailer, semi-trailer or other vehicle of
gross weight of 1,5OO pounds or more,
when drawn or pulled upon a highway,
shall be equipped with brakes adequate
to control the movement of and to stop
and to hold such vehicle and so de-
signed as to be applied by the driver
of the towing vehicle from its cab, ex-
cepting trailers owned by farmers when
transporting agricultural products pro-
duced on the owners farm or supplies
back to the farm of the owner of the
trailer, and except disabled vehicles
being towed to place of repairs" The
average house trailer weighs from 1900
to 1000 pounds, Captain Corcoran said.

Old Engine Oil
Burns Out Rats.

Fairmont-One of the best ways to
get rid of rats is to burn them, thinks
Dave Jaqua, caretaker at the local city
dump, who tried out the experiment
with success. A year ago man came
to Fairmont with a proposition to kill
all rats at the city dump. He spread
poison and killed hundreds of them,
but there were as many as ever until
Dave tried out his scheme of fighting
rats with fire. He got large quantity
of old crank case and other waste oils
from garages and dumped a truck load
of this oil down the bank of the dump
When he touched match to the oil
heavy explosion resulted. The whole
bank blazed. Everything on the surface
was burned and the fire crept into
crevices in the bank and burned as long
as the oil lasted. As all the ground at
that point is filled with rubbish and
debris, the fire readily found COM
bustible material. So far into the pile
did the fire burn that an area of three
or four feet settled, leaving a deep i'm
preston in the surface of the bank 20
feet above. 1t is believed that hun
dreds of rats were burned to death and
! their living quarters destroyed. If the
caretaker gets enough motor oil he eX-
poets to put on more rat fireworks.

Take Care of Food
For "PainLesS" Picnics.

Keeping the picnic painless" is often
a matter of proper treatment of the
foods that are taken to it, is the opinion
of Miss Inez M. Hobart, extension nu-
tritioniSt, University Farm, st. Paul.
Sandwiches, salads or cream filled
pies and cakes left too long in warm
atmosphere are principal offenders in
picnic foods.
Moist cooked foods" says Miss Ho-
bart, "such as milk, eggs, meat or fish,
are excellent breeding places for harm
full bacteria, including those that cause
poisoning without making the food
smell or taste spoiled. Under favor
able temperature and necessary moist
ure conditions they multiply rapidly.
They seem to be especially partial to
meat, fish and cream Filings for pies
and cakes"
These same bacteria are found in
leftovers of meat pies, dishes made with
cream sauce, gravieS, custards boiled or
cream salad dressing. Leftover foods
must be handled carefully and should
be transferred promptly from the
dishes in which they are served to
separate clean, dry, covered dishes
chilled as quickly as possible and kept
in the cold storeroom or refrigerator.
In hot weather especially left-overs
of perishable foods should be boiled OF
thoroughly heated before they are
served again. Merely warming up
such foods is not enough; it may even
increase the danger by raising the tenn
perature to a point favorable to the
growth of bacteria but not high enough
to destroy them.

VENTILATION
SUGGESTIONS.

With the first spell of warm weather
many of us realize that when our houses
were planned and built, not enough
thought was given to good ventilation
For many whose houses are being re-
modelled and improved at this time OF
year, now is a good opportunity to
check on every room to see if it has
a good cross draft and, if not, whether
something can be done about it.
Cutting extra windows through the
wall or enlarging existing windows is
often not particularly difficult or ex-
pensive, considering the added comfort
and healthier atmosphere the family
will enjoy as a result. When building
a new home, the ventilation can be
planned on paper in advance and put
into effect with less extra expense.
How is the kitchen located with re-
Spect to the prevailing breezeS? Kit
chen odors and layers of hot air will be
gone with the wind" if given a chance
Windows in at least two walls, or one
or two windows in one wall and an out
side door in another, are desirable
Then there can be a good cross draft
If possible, the stove should be placed
so that the draft does not strike i
directly.
Windows in the kitchen should eXtenC
as near to the ceiling as possible. The
top sash should be kept in condition tx
lower easily for carrying off odors
In some kitchens an electric ventilation
replaces the upper sash pane. Window!
set high from the floor are good in {
small kitchen because equipment, such
as the refrigerator or sink may bt
placed below them.
If curtains are used IN the kitchen
they should be pulled aside to leavt
the window openings free for ventila
ton. Full-length window screens arr
an aid to good ventilation as they per
NIT either sash to be opened.
Dormer windows help ventilate tht
attic. They are most effective if ar
ranged so as to provide for a eros
draft. Easement windows in dormer
give twice the ventilation obtainabl,
with double-hung windows. Draw cur
tains are desirable for easement win
dows as they are easy to pull back whel
the windows are open. Easement
opening in are usually more satisfactor.
than those opening outward.

Ey MARJORIE ELLIS M,

Fashion is more than just beautiful
clothes. 1t is knowing how to wear the
clothes and knowing the right clothes
to wear to the right places To be over
dressed is very poor taste. To be
under dressed is not poor taste. Simple
clothes are always in good taste. Elab-
crate and fussy clothes can be worn
only at few places and by very few
people. For example, while marketing
one morning I noted a chauffered
limousine draw up in front of the
grocery store. The liveried driver
stepped out to open the door on a
vision of formal garden party dressinesS.
The occupant of the car, woman about
As years old, was gowned in pale
flowered chiffon-the dress reaching
about 10 inches above the floor. The
sleeves were short and the neck quite

State Timber Marked
For SeIectiUe Cutting.

Approximately 88 million board feet
of state-owned timber in the northern
part of the state has been marked for
selective cutting, Grover M. Comet,
director of forestry, announced last
week.
Sound forestry practices are being
used in marking the trees, Mr.. Comet
said. Enough young trees will be left
standing to insure good reproduction.
Along highways, strip of timber $50
to 200 feet wide will be left intact for
scenic purposes"
Marking trees on state lands for
selective cutting will continue as per-
petual project, so that a constant sup
ply of state timber will be ION tap"

of the top. Partly seal the jars and
process in deep kettle of boiling
water for 25 minutes or in a low (225
degrees F) oven for 40 minutes. Re-

If Juneberries are blanched minutes
in the syrup before canning they will
remain more plump, pack tighter and
will not rise to the top of the con-
tainer as readily. The tartneSs of rhu-
barb makes a pleasing addition to the
mild flavor of JuneberrieS. Three
fourths inch lengths of rhubarb added
in alternate layers in packing berries
for sauce gives them nice variation in
flavor.
If syrup is left from the blanching, it
may be added to cut lengths of rhubarb

Brings 1900 Eggs
On Rare City Trim

Fairmont-Archie Handy, Center
Creek pioneer living in the Granada
community, made one of his rare visits
to Fairmont last week, shook hands
with the boys at the courthouse, chatted
on the streets, and disposed of more
than 100 dozen eggs. In spite of his
more than 81 years, Archie still wears
his long, golden locks, his eye is keen,
and his mind active. 81 can't stand up

else, when you have lots of something
you don't care much for it,"
