In the farm homo a vast change

all sorts of electrical appliances
have been placed. For the farm
er's wife electric irons can now re-
place the old method of heating
flatirons on the stove. 1.-The house

Four buildings have been wired
on the farm with the addition of
a yard light with convenient switch
es in both the barn and the house.
Wired buildings incmde the house,
barn, pump house, and chicken
coop. Mr.. Vandesteeg estimated the
cost for installation and materials
at about $3.50. Power will be pro-

Throughout the farm wiring
heavy duty wire has been installed.
Possibility of lightning striking

the birds are coming out of cover
with good sized broods.
Some of the chicks are well feath-
cred, while many birds are still on
the nests. Considerable destruction
of nests is noted in hayfields, due
to the heavy cover that makes it
difficult to see the nesting birds.
Natural nesting conditions, coup
led with the Conservation Depart
ment propagation program that
will furnish at least 10000 birds for
release this season, indicate that
hunting will be good this fall.
First Quail Release
To Be Made In July
Bobwhite quail will be planted on
ly in areas which meet requirements
established by the Division of Game
and Fish, and where a field survey
shows that adequate shelter and
food are provided for the birds, ac-,
cording to Herman G. Wenzel, Com
missioner of Conservation.
First releases of quail from the
expected 10000 production Of the
Carlos Avery game farm will be
made early in July. Besides the
quail, the farm will produce about
5000 chukar cartridges.
Organizations making applica-
tons for bird releases in their ter
ritory are asked TO state, on their
application forms, whether quail
have ever been found in their dis
trict before; whether game enemies
are kept under control; and to de-
scribe the kinds of trees, shrubs,
and food plants in the area where
the releases are to be made.

FAREWELL TO SPORT
Paul Gallico

For fourteen years Paul Calico
was one of Americas ace sports
writers. He saw them all-the stars
and the hams, the immortals and
the phonies, in boxing, wrestling,
baseball, football, golf, tennis, and
every other field of muscular en-
deavor in which men and women
try to break their hearts and their
necks for cash or glory. Two years
ago he quit the game and now he
gives us this startling farewell
a vivid picture of the great money
ed sports during the postwar per-
iod 192O-19S5.
Here, in twenty-six chapters,
every major as well as minor sport,
is covered. He includes sketches of
Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey, Helen
Wills, Gene Tunney, Primo Camera
and Bobby Jones which are shrewd
estimates Of these luminaries and
what made them tick. He also takes
up the amateur question-and set
ties it; he takes baseball apart and
jumps feet first on the hypocritical
football racket; he studies women
in sport to discover whether nature
fitted them to compete in a sports
manlike manner; he describes the
million-dollar gates and what made
them; and he gives us an inside
view of the romance and technique
of sports-writing under fire. In
short, Paul Calico accumulated q
lot on his chest about the big
games, their conduct, and the peo-
pie in them, and he manages to get
most of it off before bowling out

BUY FISHING LICENSE
IN YOUR HOME COUNTY.

Fishermen must buy their licen-
ses in their home county, accord
ing to the provisions of the game
and fish laws. Harry e. Speakes,
director CT the division, points out
the failure to observe this law may
make it difficult for licensees to
prove that they are entitled to the
state resident license fee Of fifty
cents.
Cases have come to the atten-
ton Of game wardens checking
licenses, where non-residents have
claimed Minnesota residence and
purchased licenses at lake resorts.
If the county in which they claim
residence is several hundred miles
across the state, it Is hard to deter
mine whether or not their claim
Is true or false. ~
The bruden Of proof, however,
rests with the licensee, and it is
well for him to be able to show
that he actually has his residence
in the county in which the license
Is issued. Not to be able to do sc
may lead to difficulties with the
courts, Mr.. Speakes points out.

Fishing was prohibited in GER

out in the field following the man
cutting and they get every worth

rollers which are pulled over the
cut grain, lying on the threshing
floor-space packed hard out in the
fields. An oxen or mule is usually
used as motive power to draw the
heavy roller. They then separate
the straw by forking it off and
shaking all of the kernels out. The
grain is then swept into a pile and

ried out. They use flat wooden
spades to throw the grain into the

to the mothers to whom the world
has turned when perplexed or when
in need. Alone some problems are
hard for mothers to solve, but in
union there is strength and so II
has been with the organization OF
mother helpers organized forty
years ago at Mccormick Lake.
Their fame has spread throughout
the state and the society has been
a pattern for other societies. But
best of all the founders Of this
society are loved and revered by
their friends and neighbors and the
good they have done will long live
after them"
Charter members present at the
anniversary celebration, were: Mrs.
Eta Wilcox, Mrs. Minnie Mann,
Mrs. Iris Betz and Mrs. Ada Wolfe.
Present officers of the Helping
Hand Society are: Mrs. Eta Will
cox, honorary president; Mrs. Esth-
er Walker, president; Mrs. Orpha
Elliott, vice president; Mrs. Maude
Knapp, secretary; Mrs. Theresa
Botz, treasurer.
A resume of the history Of the
Helping Hand Society follows:
In July, 1898, small group OF
neighbors gathered at the T. H.
Risinger home to spend the after
noon. After some discussion they
decided to organize a society and
to call it, THE Mccormick Lake
Helping Hand" with its aim to aid
the women of the neighborhood
with their work.
No records were kept Of the first
six months work, and the earliest
records in possession Of the society
were entered January A, 1899. Mrs.
Eta Wilcox read these records,
which revealed the excellent work
the society accomplished from Its
inception. The first work recorded
was the making of shirts for poor
boy, and quilts for a family badly
in need.
During the winter months the
society met before dinner and IN
the summer during the afternoons.
At first no lunch was served, later
the members decided to serve sand
wiches and coffee.
Most of the work for neighbors
was sewing carpet rags, mending
or darning, and if there was not
enough work to keep the member
ship busy, they had quilt blocks on
hand to piece. The rest OF their
work included aid to families who
suffered from fire, care for the sick,
Red Cross aid, etc. In 1907 people
who resided along the state road
became members and the society
grew, and it's work was extended to
include many charitable and COM
munity projects.
The Helping Hand Society owes
its existence to the splendid work
accomplished, and IT'S founders are
to be congratulated for the example
they set in the conduct Of it's bus
mess and social affairs. Its success
is based upon it's motto: Lending
a Helping Hand"

THE LAST GENRO
Zunii Omuro

Prince Saionji, now eighty-one
years old, Is the last Of the Genro,
Japan's elder statesmen, and to tell
the romantic story Of his long years,
is to give the history Of New Japan.
In 1S49, when Prince Saionji was
born, the government had been in
the hands Of the Tokugawa Shog-
uns for over two and a half CEN
turtles. Saionji was seventeen when
this power was restored to the MI
kado, under whom a united nation
began her progress. In his child
hood he had been a favorite Of En-
peror Konei and was appointed as
the monarch's Chiid-Chamberlain
and Middle General; under Emper-
or Meiji, whose close personal
friend he was, he served twice as
Premier; under Emperor Taisho he
was sent to the Paris Peace Con-
ference, and at present he still acts
as Councillor to Emperor Hirohito.
The Japanese value his leadership,
for he has seen the old order and
the new, and whatever the Grand
Odd Man Of the Empire" thinks suit
able for the nation Is acceptable to
the man on the street. Bunju
Omura has written IN . vital, dra-
matte style that gives to his book
the pace and intimacy Of a novel.
