Saturday

In a junior high school basket

Glenwood with the host team TAX
ing the last barrier to win the

In the morning rounds the local
boys defeated a Morris aggregation,
nosing them out by the score of 10

TRICHINOSIS
PREVALENT IN
limited STAES

st. Paul, Minnesota Trichinosis,
the disease that comes from eating
infected and insufficiently cooked
pork, Is much more common in. the
United States than people used to
think.
Post norton studies in trichin-
osis have now been made of more
than 1000 persons in various parts
Of the United States, including st.
Paul and Minneapolis. These stud
les show. according to bulletin
issued today by the Minnesota
State Medical Associations Com
mittee on Public Health Education,
that nearly Is per cent Of the pop
ulation has had trichinosis. EF.
This astonishingly large percent
age is quoted by the doctors to en-
phasize the ever-present danger
that lies in consuming under-cooked
pork, since there Is no way of
knowing definitely whether or not
any pork is infected with the trich-
ina worm.
Trichinosis Is a serious ILLNESS.
1t Is sometimes fatal and its symp-
toms resemble so many other acute
illnesses that it is easy to mistake
it for other diseases.
The first stage is usually an
acute intestinal upset caused by the
development of the trichina worm
from the dormant stage in which
1t is taken into the stomach into the
mature worm. After that the
larvae are carried in the blood
stream to other parts of the body,
lodging eventually in muscle tissue.
This stage is accompanied by
muscular pain and swelling. Fin
ally the larvae become encapsulat-
ed and inactive and the inflamma-
ton subsidies. Even when the result
is not fatal, it is likely to involve a
long and exhausting illness.
The only way to be certain of
avoiding trouble. according to the
doctors bulletin. is to cook all pork
thoroughly. Sailing and picking,
alone, will not kill the trichina
worm.

POllinatiOn Agents

Pollination is carried on by va
rious insects. by the wind, by water,
by birds, etc. Insect pollination is
the most common type In Towering
plants, those with snowy petals or
sepals, with nectar or a distinct
odor. Gager's "The Plant World"
mentions 1t as a very significant fact
that there were no flowers with
snowy petals on the earth until the
geological age in which insects first
appeared, and then these flowers de-
veloped. Practically all the conifers.
including pines, hemlocks. etc., and
all grasses are wind-pollinated.
Bees are most important to a good
crop Of orchard fruits and to clover,
one authority estimating that honey
bees are worth fifty or more times
as much for their part in fertilizing
blossoms as they are for their honey.

The Four Seasons

The civil or tropical year, the one
commonly used in the measure Of
time, is the period which elapses
from the SUMS appearance on one
Of the tropical circles to its return
to the same. It varies very slightly,
and has a mean length Of 365 days
5 hours 48 minutes 1917 seconds.
Automatically considered, the four
seasons begin at the equinoctial or
the solstitial points. The summer
solstice is the meridian, passing
through the point where the sun
touches the Tropic Of Cancer; the
winter solstice is the meridian pass
ing through the point where It
touches the Tropic Of Capricorn;
and the equinoctial points are the
points at which the SUMS path or
equinox crosses the celestial equa-
tor. All these points shift, accord
ing to very exact astronomical laws,
from year to year; and SO the pre-
else times when the seasons begin
are matters of mathematical calcu-
lations.

Mahogany Has Long Been
Used as Furniture Wood

Mahogany is one Of the royal fam
lily Of furniture woods. It has been
used for centuries and because Of
it, beautiful color. its dignity, its
strength, its delicate natural pat
terms. and its fine texture and sur
face 1t will be used for hundreds of
years to come. Most Of US know
we like 1t, but we do not know why,
and many Of US are unable to tell
one variety from another, writes
Edith Weigle in the Chicago Trib-
une.
There are three localities from
which this cabinet wood comes.
They are the West Indies Cuba,
Santo Domingo, and Haiti, America
(meaning Mexico, Central and South
America, and Africa from the
west coast, Gold and Ivory coasts,
and Nigeria). When you buy q
piece Of furniture made of mahog-
any you are entitled to know wheth-
er 1t Is West Indian, America, or
Africa mahogany. There Is no such
thing as Philippine mahogany. Any
wood sold under that name is a
misnomer, says George N. Lamb,
spokesman for the Mahogany Asso-
citation, Inc.
Best for the finest furniture are
Cuban and Santo DOMINICAN ma
hogany. It has a golden brown and
sometimes a deep, rich, brownish
red tone and is heavier than other
types. It takes q beautiful finish.

a barrage of long shots to miss, and
Walker, covering, dumped in a set
up. Parkers worked their slow
break, passed carefully, eliminated
attempts at long shots, made sud-
den bursts. Parkers was beating the
local boys to the cover under the
basket. Walker scored long shot
to take z to 4 lead. Schrader
broke loose for the first time to
make a shot and free throw tied
the half time score z to z.
Parkers opened the third with
Schrader dumping long shot, and
Reynolds, covering a cover tip In,
to take a four point lead. Hoffman
scored for the locals when he scor-
ed in a Herculean effort as he was
fouled with defensive hands clamp
ed onto him. Schrader took on
again with that speed long shot OF
his. That boy is a master shot, and
it looked like he would turn the
trick. Pangburn moved in to cover
Walkers attempt to score to move
with a single point Is to II as the
quarter ended.
It was Kringen's long shot that
put the locals into the final lead.
The crowd went wild at that point
and the game moved correspond
ingly faster. Jackson's foul en- An
derson gave him two shots, but he
missed. Pangburn, on fake, elud-
ed this same Anderson to score.
With four minutes to go the score
stood at 16 to Is. Abbot scored the
final free throw for Parkers Prair-
lie. Then in the last minute the
game resolved itself for the first
time in a battle for possession, and
the locals dominated the play.
Parkers continued their unruffled
play but they were visibly worried
as they attempted shots.
The game was easily a battle OF
two fine offensives that never got
a chance to get under way. Each
played the slow break type with
passing a feature. In the first half
Parkers eliminated tries for long
shots, put themselves nearly at a
disadvantage when the locals went
into the lead. The defensive man
euvers were the feature OF the
game. or the two offensives Sank
Centres spanked just enough to
keep ahead of the Parkers crew.
The win of that game was fine
bit of tournament strategy, and 1t
boosts the local club from merely
another team to one Of the favor
ties of the race.

Many findings to Novel

Probably no novel in history has
had more endings than ''The Mys-
terry Of Edwin Brood" which
Charles Dickens was writing when
he died suddenly in 1870. AS Dick
ems left no notes about how he in
tended to end the story, notes a
writer in Golfers Weekly. more
than a hundred writer's have at
tempted to complete it, one being
a spiritualist, who claimed that his
ending was authentic because he
had obtained his facts directly from
Dickens spirit.

Isects and Flowers

Some flowers are sweet-smelling
at night and scentless during the
day. When this is the case one can
be sure that the insects which
fertilize the flowers are nocturnal
in habit. Flowers which are sweet
smelling during the day are fer
tilted by insects which fly during
the day. Some flowers close up
during the day and open during the
night; others do the opposite. In
sects and flowers are mutual
friends, but both Of them have their
enemies. There are insects which
prey upon flowers, and there are
fiowers-or plants which use their
fowers-that prey upon insects.

WHAT WE THINK ABOUT THE
NEW FARM BILL

BY A. w. Kicker, Editor Farmers
Union Herald, st. Paul, MINI.
The new Farm Bill as printed in
pamphlet form consists Of 121 pag-
es. The Senators and Representa-
tives who drew the bill provided
specific programs for cotton, tobac-
co, rice, corn, and wheat with mar
keting agreements for other pro-
ducts. There is no program dealing
with cattle, hogs, sheep, or dairy
products other than the degree to
which they are affected by grain
volume and grain prices.
Of the commodities dealt with,
corn gets the best program. This is
because the greatest drive behind
the Bill was carried on by the Farm
Bureau whose membership Is great

and neither is 'Lapland." Lapland
Is not a country, not political unit,
not even clearly defined geograph-

to rise until after dinner, when they
were cooked in hot fat and then
rolled generously in sugar.

Earth's Rotation Governs
Days, Years; No Time Lost

Time, regarding days, years, ETC.,
has not been lost In any way and
the earth's rotation determines day
and night, just as the earth's rev.
olution around the sun determines
the seasons, observes writer in
the Detroit News.
The division Of the year into
months and days by what we call
q calendar has been a matter Of
growth and change. The Roman
calendar introduced in 1888 B. c.
had a year Of 10 months, or 304
days, but as this did not agree with
the solar year Of 365 days, two
months were added by Numa Pom
pilius in 713 B. c., and the year
was made to start at the winter
solstice. As this calendar was not
based on a knowledge Of the true
length Of the year (S65. 24224 days)
the error accumulated SO that by
Julius Caesars time the seasons
were confused and spring came
about the first Of January. The
Julian calendar was then estab-
lished, with the leap year to cor
rect this, and the year as B. c. was
given AS days, called ''the year Of
confusion" Sixteen centuries later
the error from the Julian calendar
was found to be 10 days; our pres
ent calendar, the Gregorian, was
devised to correct this.
The Jewish sabbath lasted from
sunset Of the sixth day to sunset Of
the seventh day. The Jews, like the
Greeks. began their day at sunset,
the Babylonians at sunrise. The
Jewish year begins in the fall.
