pie over the age Of IL have bad breath!
Read how coIsote 0en+aI Cream projects you

TEsTs among 1852 men and women (of all
i ages and from all walks of life) prove that
7o% of all people over the age of II haze bad
breath! Tests also prove that most bad breath
comes from improperly cleaned teeth!
Ordinary cleansing methods, which merely
polish the exposed surfaces of your teeth. fail to
remove the decaying food deposits in hidden
crevices between your teeth. And these deposits,
tests prove, are the source Of most bad breath,
dull, dingy teeth, and much tooth decay.
Evening star., 1937-03-21

But Colgate Dental Cream has special bene-
trating foam which gets into every tiny crevice
-emulsifying and washing away those food and
acid deposits that cause bad breath.
At the same time, Colgate's soft, safe polishing
agent gently yet thoroughly cleans and brightens
enamel-makes your teeth sParkle-gives new
brilliance to your smile.
So brush your teeth, gums, tongue with Colgate
Dental Cream at least twice daily and have
cleaner, brighter teeth sweeter, purer breath!

Christmas Tree Surrey
ShOUs Abundant Supply.

Koochiching county alone, under
proper forestry practice, could supply
for an indefinite period, more than the
entire present harvest of two and a half
million Christmas trees annually, &C
cording to a survey recently completed
by the division of forestry.
The survey covered the entire county,
with count of trees on quarter acre
plots taken at regular intervals, and
shows over 400 million black spruce and
balsam fir-the two kinds commonly
used as Christmas trees.
Good forestry practice permits the
cutting of about one tree in ten each
eight years. This practice permits
practically a perpetual supply of trees,
and does not interfere with water con-
servation nor game cover in the area
cut.
All trees sold in Minnesota must carry
the conservation department two cent
tag. This tag is the protection offered
under the state Christmas tree law first
passed in 1885 and amended in 1887.
The law provides that all cutting
must be reported to the division of
forestry. Reports must show the legal
description of the land on which trees
are cut and indicate that the owners
permission to cut them was obtained.

Policeman Walks
Beat at so Years.

Hibbing Eighty years old and still
able to walk beat! That is Adam
Snyder, who has been with the local
police department shade over 10 years.
Snyder, short, stocky and with sparse
gray hair, has less than year to serve
before being retired on a pension. over
year ago, Snyders retirement on pen
sion was granted while he was serving
as desk sergeant but after being off
duty for short time it was discovered
he would have to serve 20 years before
being eligible for pension. His position
as sergeant was already taken by
younger members of the force, SO Sny-
der went back to the beat-the North
Hibbing beat which he has since
handled. The elderly officer, just as
active as any other much younger man
on the force and still able to take care
of himself, reached the age of 80 last
week. He really doesn't look over co.
it is reported, and his cheerful, piping
voice would indicate so. Friends and
fellow officers are making plans to
honor him.

BOycOtts Can Work Both
WAYS Says Bureau Head.

Labor leaders who are fostering a
meat strike in an effort to hammer
down prices were warned by E. A.
O'Neal, president of the American Farm
Bureau, that boycotts can work both
ways, and that if labor attempts to
dictate prices on farm commodities,
farmers will have to turn against pro-
ducts produced by c. I. o. union labor.
The following telegram was sent on
Nov. II, by Mr.. ONeal to Homer Martin,
president of the United Automobile
Workers, Detroit:
American farmers are shocked at
newspaper reports of your urge upon
all members of c. I. o. automobile
unions to withhold consumption Of
meat in an effort to reduce prices. Is
this an invitation for American farmers
to take similar action against pro-
ducts produced by G. I. o. union labor?
Factory wages are more than twenty
per cent in excess of 1929 level and re-
tail food prices including meat are
nearly twenty per cent less than during
the same period. National welfare de-
mands a balance as between agricul-
ture, labor and industry and American
farmers will resist by whatever means
necessary any efforts to aggravate the
present disparities."

Minnesota Speed Limit
Formerly Eight Miles.

Minneota-The rapidity with which
changing conditions and customs in
validate laws may be a clue to the
question of why lawmakers work the
larger part of each year making new
measures. For nearly every law passed
there is a former one abrogated, as
witness the 1910 traffic ordinance for
this village, a copy Of it having re-
Gently come to light. Many drivers of
today are perhaps not aware that their
cars can travel as slowly as the maxi
mum rate of speed here then, which
was eight miles an hour. It was also
necessary for the village council to
remind operators Of steam or gasoline
propelled vehicles" just how to meet
and pass other vehicles, and to have
headlights visible for at least 200 feet
ahead This ordinance was later nulli-
fled by the passage in 1919 of a new
one which raised the village speed limit
to ten miles an hour, and included de-
tailed instructions regarding parking
in the village confines. The maximum
rate of speed on the highways was Is
miles an hour.

Improved Methods Used
Selecting MRS Workers.

| There was time, says Arvid B
Olson, manager of the district and
local National Unemployment Office
when one might have been called upon
to defend the public employment SER
vice as legitimate function of govern
ment, but that time has passed.
Significant, he believes, is the fact
that every state in the entire nation has
passed legislation creating a state en-
/ Pigment service, and that from time to
time such organizations as the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
American Federation of Labor have
gone on record, wholly without solicita-
ton, with hearty endorsements of the
Service and the work it is doing.
Increased use of the public employ
ment service in Minnesota, says Mr..
Olson, has been accomplished by a
steady improvement in employment Of
flee personnel, premises, and pro-
ce6ureS, until now the offices are in
a better position than ever to really give
a service to employers and applicants
that is helpful to both. During the
last four years attention has been di-
rected to staff training and a more
concentrated study of job requirements
and applicant characteristics, which has
resulted in better service.
Mr.. Olson points out that employers
are coming to realize more and more
that the employment service is not an
emergency agency, subject to restric-
tons in the selection of workers, but
that it makes referrals entirely on the
basis of qualifications and suitability
of the applicant for the job.
The local Office at the present time
has applications of 1886 persons seek
ing jobs in wide variety of occupa-
tons. All have been carefully inter-
viewed and classified in accordance
with what they are fitted to do. There
fore, when an order is received, the
minimum of time will be required to
select persons best suited for the job
Mr.. Olson is trying to make the local
office everybody's service, and cannot

contains the following statement: Com
mittees from the union have gone be-
fore the Minnesota State Relief Ad
ministration and arrangements have
been made to register the woodsmen for
relief. Relief has been issued to some
of the jacks. Others have been put on
out of town relief projects and should
the lockout continue, transient camps
will be opened for the men"
These men," Mr. Ronkainen said,
"can get work at once on basis Of
$4,000 a month up, but they refuse to
work Why should they? Governor
Benson is giving them the taxpayers
money for their support"
These sentiments were echoed again
last week by Representative Ed Chill
gren, staunch Farmer-Laborite of Koo-
chiching County when he told Cover
nor Benson:
1.-THE small farmer who depends on
timber sales is suffering more than the
laborers. The transient workers are all
being taken care of in camps, but the
small farmer cannot market his pro-
ducts and has no place to seek relief"
The "BoOing'' of the Governor.
Much talk is still being heard about
the "booing" of Governor Benson at
the football stadium preceding the Min
nesota- Northwestern game. Most think
/ ing people, irrespective Of their personal
feelings toward the governor, agree that
the dignity of his Office is entitled to

was disgraceful. These people are also
agreed, however, that the comment on
the incident by Abe I. Harris, admins
tration spokesman, in the Minnesota
Leader, is also uncalled for and patiently
an attempt to stir class hatred. Mr.
Harris, commenting on the "booing"
states:
1T is quite apparent that the boys
who buy their wives and sWeethearts
mink, Russian sable, and chinchilla
coats, do not like Elmer Benson :.
People who have had the benefit Of
maids, buffers, servants, special tutors
and all the lavish trimmings which
money can buy are not always among
the well-bred."
Now this statement is clearly out Of
place, most people agree, for it is a
well-known fact that few, if any, Of
those who attend Minnesota football
games have been raised in the luxury

are middle class folks imbued with a

Minnesota Berries
Shipped East 1919.

Stilwater-Cranberries from Mime
sofa must have found their way to
many Thanksgiving dinner table in
the East and South as early as 1849,
Tor by october 4 of that year 5000
barrels had been shipped from st. Paul
and Mendoza and probably more than
one half as many from Saltwater" This
information about early Minnesota
cranberry trade is given in a letter in
the Minnesota Pioneer" the first ST.
Paul newspaper, for December IL, I849.
The correspondent was a passenger on
Mississippi river steamboat, and he
wrote his letter to the newspaper while
they are rolling on those barrels of
cranberrieS." Cranberries were gath
cred by the Indians who brought them
into the towns to exchange for goods.
They sold for four dollars a barrel. The
writer who described this frontier in
dustry asserted that the Minnesota
berries were nearly twice as large and
much more delicious than any cram
berries I ever ate East"
