BILE helped him to find his way
home. The man had wounded a
deer, and started following 1t. He
soon lost his way and had been out
some hours when his family, think
ing he should be home, notified the
police and they blew the fire siren
intermittenly for some time. The
lost man hearing the siren climbed
a tree and from there located the
various washing plants and water
towers and thus got the right di-

LUVERNE-Irv Strassburg didn't
get started with his road work as
early as he'd planned one morning
recently because when he came to
work that day he found to his ut
ter dismay that wintry blasts dur
ing the night had chilled the motor
of his big tractor so it just would
not start. Irv's only hope of ever
getting the huge Cat" purring was
to coax 1t along with the tender
touch of blow torch. This he did
and suddenly an entire side of the
motor burst into flames due to the
ignition Of gasoline which dropped
from a pipe that had been cracked
by the freezing temperature. Flames
spread to the ground where the gas
had dripped all night and Irv thot
he had better move the machine
with a smaller tractor, but as luck
would have 1t, that machine
wouldn't start either. Soon the
Hardwick fire laddies arrived but
they were unable to extinguish the
ever increasing flames. Suddenly
the 5O-gallon gasoline container ex-
ploded at both ends. Bystanders
estimated the flames to have soar
ed 80 feet In the air and finally
culminate in a cloud of smoke. A
completely burned tractor cap, a

Deer Hunter Had Fine
Doe, Really A Calf
MOORIIEAD

MOORHEAD = A Minneapolis
deer hunter in Ada thought he had
fine 200-pound doe. When he
told a fellow hunter about it his
friend said it must have been a
buck because does aren't usually
that large. So the hunter proceed
ed to show him. 1t was a Jersay
calf. But the hunter refused to be
convinced until he had seen a real
deer. He was so disappointed he
was going to abandon the calf, but
he was induced to take it home for
the good meat.

Fire Bell Used 80
Years. Taken Down.

GRANITE FALLS-No more will
be heard the resonant "clang clang''
Of the fire bell in Granite. 1t has
lost its place atop of the city hall
and hereafter must be content to
occupy spot in the corner of the
firemen's meeting hall. The origin
of the fire bell is shrouded in mys-
terry. No one actually recalls when
1t was bought but it is estimated
that it dates back to 1881 and was
purchased with money left over
from a fund created to build an en-
CINE house. 1t served for years for
fires, meetings and as curfew.

Hunter Goes After
Cherry Tree" Deer

SAUK RAFIDS-Albert Bianga,
famed fisherman and hunter land
story teller), and a party of men
went to hunt the deer they shot
with cherry pits last year. 1t ap-
pears that last year Albert and his
party were up in the woods on a
hunting trip and AL had used up all
of his shot (this old gun is a muz-
zle loader). He picked some cher
ries off an old cherry tree that hap
pened to be growing there and US
ed the dried up cherries in place of
the regular shot. On his way back
to camp he spied handsome buck
at close range and fired away with
his cherry gum He hit the deer
but cherry pits are not quite as
penetrating as lead shot and the
buck carried away the shot. After
a long search for the deer by the
entire party it was decided to go
up to the same spot this year and
locate this particular deer. Albert
says he Is sure he will know the
deer because it will probably have
a cherry tree branch growing out
Of its head in place of the horns
II the grating was perfect there
may even be cherries on the horns
so he thinks.

japanese Medic Says
80 coop Hospitals
Operating in Japan

NEW Notwithstanding as a move
ment to bring medical care to i'm
poverished villages in rural Japan,
cooperative hospitals have now be-
come a major factor in medical
circles in his country, DR.. Oki Hi
rose, medical director of the Tokyo
Cooperative Hospital, told the first
public meeting of the Cooperative
Health Association of New York,
March IL.
The first cooperative hospital was
organized in 1922. Six years ago
DR.. Toyohiko Kagawa, famous Co
operative and religious leader, DR.,
Hirose and others organized the
Tokyo Cooperative Medical Associa-
ton. With the Tokyo hospital as a
model, the cooperatives grew rapid
ly. In the last two and a half years
the number of cooperative hospitals
has increased from 80 to 230.
Health c%ooperatives were once OPP
posed by organized medicine in ia
pan, but antagonism to cooperatives
has largely disappeared because of
the tremendous support they have
received from the people.
Two factors have played a large
part in the rapid growth of the CO.
ops. First, compulsory health insur-
ance in Japan covers only factory
workers and large segments of the
population have nc other way of
providing health protection. Second,
because of the close indignation of
various branches of the cooperative
movement, central banks for credit
unions have loaned money to the
health co-ops to facilitate the cree
ton of modern, fully equipped hos
pitfalls.
The Tokyo Cooperative Hospital
which nov has 100 beds, 10000 fam
lily members and II doctors on the
staff, carries on an intensive educa-
tional and preventive medical can
paign, according to DR.. Hirose. AS
a result of its child welfare clinics
the infant mortality rate among as
ISOLATION families is one-half of that
for the community as a whole. The
hospital also maintains maternity
clinics, summer school for pre-school
children and visiting nurse service.

Get Enthusiastic 0. K.
OF Farmer : Laborites
BY RICHARD EEKLE

aStlcally lndorslng Tor reelection the
present state Farmer-Labor admins
tration headed by Gov. Elmer A
Benson, 1000 delegates to the annual
state convention of the Farmer-La-
Dor party adopted a platform pledg-
ing the party ito carry forward the
peoples demands for democracy
social justice, economic security and
peace"
The national legislative section Of
the adopted platform follows almost
word for word the recently-formu-
lated proposals of the Maury Nav
erick group in Congress.
The Farmer-Labor party more
properly called the Farmer-Labo
Assn,-now nearing its silver ami
versary, consists of ward and COM
munity clubs, trade unions, farmers
and unemployed organizations, ma
tionality societies and other affili-
ated bodies. Every county in Min
nesota was represented.
The unanimous Endorsement of
Gov. Benson. set off a 15-minute
demonstration that nearly tore the
roof off the local armory. Benson
was too overcome to reply immedi-
ately,
Earlier the chief executive had de-
manded "a society in which war, I'M
employment and poverty must be
banished," and advocated govern
ment control of munition plants,
CONSUMPTION of wealth in time of
war, the right to work at decent
wages and enactment Of a genuine
neutrality act.
Concerning the red scare, Benson
said: Intelligent people know that
the Farmer-Labor party is not a
communist party, and that it does
not have a communistic program. We
can well accept the advice given us
by our late, great governor, Floyd B.
Olson, to treat these efforts with
scorn and contempt and to leave
red baiting to such red-baiting ex-
perts as William R. Hearst and the
American Liberty League"
Other leading Endorsements were
William s.. Erwin, incumbent, for
Encouragement; c. A. Halverson,
incumbent, for state treasurer; Paul
A. Rasmussen, present state budget
commissioner, for secretary of state;
John T. Lyons for state auditor;
John Kinzer, state representative
and liberal floor leader in the last
session, for acknowledgements.
The platform includes demands on
Congress for federal crop insurance,
land purchases by tenant farmers,
adequate wage and hour legislation,
reduction of taxes on small business
and small incomes, union wages on
WPA, refusal of loans and aid to
aggressor warning nations and gov
eminent ownership of the federal re-
serve system.
The state program includes; oppo-
sition to all sales taxes, exemption
of homesteads from state property
tax, encouragement Of cooperatives,
a chain farm tax, a state labor rela-
tons act, condemnation of the labor
spy system, purchase by state OF
unionmade goods, civil service, adult
education and payment of direct re-
lief in cash. A plank which party
leaders feel of great importance in
the coming campaign would protect
Minnesota business against preda-
tory monopolies to the end that we
may have a balanced prosperity"
A minor party insurgency begun
last winter by State Railroad Com
missioner and former Farmer-Labol
Gov. Hjalmer Petersen failed tc
show itself at the convention. Peter
sen has already filed for the cover.

are really getting right down

WASHINGTON, D. c.; nc

campa1gned on lt-anu a new law
resulted. With the new law came
another deluge of Official reports"
In a general way, therefore, the
voters must accept some response
bility. But the chief responsibility
must rest with members of the house
and senate and the various Presi-
dents who have served in their turn.
Why? Because no one can be ex-
pected to understand fully this gil
gantic machine called government
unless that person has had an OBJ
portunity to study the machine. The
layman has not had that chance.
Presidents and congresses have had
the chance.
To get down to the details: that
is, to relate some of the incidents
which had become

ter to Mr.. Rice, we might begin
with taxes. The head of a dairy
company which operates in three
states reported to his stockholders
lately that in one year his firm had
been compelled to make and file a
total of II, lis separate tax reports.
That company maintained a staff
for the sole purpose Of handling the
various reports that had to 20 to
the federal government, the govern
ments OF the states in which the
company operated and the cities
where milk and dairy products were
sold. Having such a staff, the COM
pany knew exactly what it cost
S265,O0O a year. 1t should be added
that the cost. of these reports neces-
sarily became a part of the compa-
ily's overhead and the, overhead ex-
