program.
During the forenoon, visitors
will be guided through the fields
and plots; and will inspect the
herds and flocks. New development
in crops and livestock will be ex-
planned by the staff at the Station,
assisted by men from University

addition to furnishing music for
many other public events.
Albanys band, under the direc-
ton of N. o. Holman, will make
its third appearance in the city
when it takes part in the band fes-
tival. The first appearance in Sank
Centre was scheduled when the
band accompanied the Albany fire
men on Tuesday afternoon, June
18th, to take part in the convention
parade. The second appearance
was Sunday, July End, when the
band participated in the parade Of
the Western Stearns Federation of
Catholic Societies, given in connec-
ton with the annual convention.
The band accompanied the Albany
st. Joseph's Society and the st. Amp
Society to this city. This, the third
appearance of the band here, should
be the occasion of a hearty well
come to the Albany band. The CO.
operation of that organization in
events held in this city deserves
special mention and credit.

white Sands Not Sand;
Large Dunes Are Cypsum

The white sands" that give their
name to White Sands National mon
ument New Mexico, are not sands
at all, according to strict scientific
definition, says the interior depart
ment.
Most sand is composed Of very
fine particles Of quartz and other
hard rock, worn round and smooth
by the action of wind and water.
New Mexico's white dunes are made
up Of small fragments Of gypsum,
blown by the wind. Biologists be-
ieve this gypsum is formed partly
in alkali lakes, and partly from wa
ter which "sweats up" from the
ground among the dunes. The gyp-
sum comes to the surface in solu-
ton.
When the water evaporates the
gypsum is left as snow-white crys-
tails. Wind piles them up In rippled
dunes, sometimes 100 feet in height.
The entire body Of sand dunes along
Q 30-mile front Is moving at the
rate Of approximately eight inches
q year toward the town Of Alamo
gordo. some IS miles away.

cognized authority on the subject
so considerable weight must be
given to what he said.
If Congress enacts legislation
which will enable the Federal.
government to tax all state and
municipal bonds in the future. Pro-.
fessor Lutz informed us that 1t will
result in states and political sub
divisions being compelled to pay
113 million dollars in increased
interest rates, IS per cent of which
would fall on counties and local
units. He stated that the bulk CT
the burden would fall upon proper
ty owners who already carry the
biggest share of the burden. Pro-
fessor Lutz estimated that the Fed
eral government would gain 100
million dollars in taxes but would
have to pay in increased interest
rates about 30 million dollars; that;
states would pick up only about IT
million dollars by taxing Federal
bonds, leaving net loss of 90 mil
lion dollars. Practically all states.
and political subdivisions are OPP
posed to the proposition and
number Of states are represented
by their attorney general and tax
commissioner Perhaps if all pub
lie bonds were taxed it might re-
suit in greatly reducing waste and
the number of future bond issues.
That certainly would be worth
while. At the rate we are going
now it will not be long before the
sheriff will catch up with us.
Why The War Hysteria?
I note in a recent issue Of the
Duluth Herald an interview with
S. Valentine Saxby, executive sec
rotary of the Minnesota Arrowhead
Association, on his return home
from a six weeks visit in the
British Isles. Mr.. Saxby is quoted
as saying, actually, there is no
war talk except here in the United
States, one finds on visit to Eng
land and then returning to Amer
lean shores. Business conditions
are steadily improving and unem-
ployment is dropping remarkably"
/ am sure we would all like to
know why there is so much war
talk in this country and little or
none in Europe. James Roosevelt,
son Of the President, recently re-
turned from Europe, also said there
was little or no war talk ever
there. Why all these war scares
here? One day it is Germany and
the next day it is Japan. The Presi-
dent asks Congress to build thou
sands of planes. scores of warships
of all types, and to spend hundreds
of millions of dollars for additional
ornaments. Just what is back Of
all of this?

Equipment and building were de-

The day the tornado whipped

small east window. With the

LOCALSLOST TWO
SUCCESSIVE GAMES
CONTINUED from Page One)

The club had just finished a two
game series afforded by the Fourth
of July holiday when they played
Brooten on Sunday and Grey Eag-
lie on the Fourth. Never defeated
throughout the season by more than
three scores, and winning their
own share Of the games, the locals
were knocked off twice in a row
with Brooten leading a 8 to 0 ball
game Sunday, and Grey Eagle
cracking a 5 to 2 game Tuesday.
Defensively strong, the local club
sported an infield this season that
was tops. Pitching too ranked
high. Only weak spot was on the
stick. Defensively the club had to
play too strong to topple clubs who
boasted good batters.
Against Grey Eagle the game
was "one of those things" Taking
seven hits from the Grey Eagle
moundman, the Sank Centre club
converted only two into scores.
Grey Eagle, out hit, took five and
made them good.
Announced Soltau this week:
Were all through. They don't
seem to want baseball here. We've
had a good club, but it's too much
to expect to keep those boys in
terested when no one else is"
So baseball passed into the obit-
uary column for this summer.

Having Faith

II man has in all ages had enough
to encounter, there has, in most civ
ihzed ages, been an inward force
vouchsafed him, whereby the pres
sure Of things outward might be
withstood. Obstruction abounded;
but faith also was not wanting. It
is by faith that man removes noun
tains; while he had faith his limbs
might be wearied with toiling, his
back CALLED with bearing; but the
heart within him was peaceable and
resolved Faith gave him an in
ward willingness; world Of
strength wherewith to confront q
world Of difficulty. The true wretch
edness is here; that the difficulty re-
main and the strength be lost; that
we have the labor and want the
willingness.-Carlyle.

Trace Unlucky Thirteen
Back to Morse Mythology

Are you one Of those who would
rather miss the most sumptuous
meal than be one Of thirteen at the
table?
1t is claimed that when IS people
sit down together at a meal, the first
to rise will die within a year. This
morbid suggestion was first met in
Morse mythology; at banquet in
Valha1la, Loki, the God Of Strife,
attending as an unbidden guest, by
guile contrived the death Of Baldur,
the God of Peace.
The fact that Is sat down at the
Last Supper has given the super
stition tremendous reverential en-
phasis, asserts a writer in London
Tit-Bits magazine.
According to ancient lore, num-
bers possessed sex; the odd being
masculine and the even feminine.
AL the male numbers were sup
posed to be lucky, while the fem.
mime were neutral; IS, however,
broke the spell Of good luck and was
held to be definitely harmful. Scot
land calls IS "the devils Dozen"
So widespread is this feeling
against IS that In many towns no
house in street, no room in hotel,
Is given this number. No supersti-
tious gambler viii back IS, or even
enter the Saloon on the thirteenth
Of the month.
One day the devil who had heard
Of St Dunstan's skin at shoeins
horses, appeared and asked him to
shoe his single hoof." Recognizing
his customer, the Saint agreed and
after tying him up securely caused
him so much pain that the devil
roared for mercy. St Dunstan re-
fused to release him until the devil
promised never to enter q building
where q horseshoe was nailed up.
So today we hang up a horseshoe
for luck-taking care to put the
points upwards lest luck run out al
the opening. says London Tit-Bits
magazine. Horseshoes were long
considered a protection against
witches, and lucky was the man or
woman who in the course Of his
daily round picked up such a charm.
The early Christians used to nail
the shoe sideways, adding to its
powers Of luck the significance Of
the sacred letter &C."

STATE TIGHTENS UP
ON LAW TO COMPEL
ACCIDENT REPORTING

With the Minnesota Highway de-
partment's traffic accident report
ing bureau entering the third year
of it's existence, and with the pub
lie having had two years during
which to become informed as to
the laws requirements, state traf-
fic regulation and local peace Of
ficers are being urged by w. f.
Rosenwald, traffic engineer and
director of the Safety division, to
tighten up en- penalties provided
by law for failure to report serious
accidents on the highway.
The recent session Of the legis-
lature has made a number OF
changes in the mandatory provi-
sion for the reporting of accidents
and the following is an outline OF
the requirements made of the
driver. Every motor vehicle opera
tor involved in an accident must:
i. Stop at the scene Of an acct
dent and remain there until he has
fulfilled the requirements as to the
giving of information.
2. Give his name and address
and the registration number Of the
vehicle he is driving and exhibit
his drivers license or chauffeur's
license to the person struck, or to
the driver or occupant or person
attending the other vehicle.
8. Render to any person injured
reasonable assistance, including
the carrying of such person to a
physician, surgeon or hospital, If
it is apparent that treatment is
necessary, or if such carrying is
requested by the injured person.
4. If the other vehiclce is unat-
tended, he shall locate and notify
the driver or owner, or a police Of
ficer. The same requirement at
tends any accident involving a
fixed object legally upon or adjac-
ent to the highway.
5. If the accident involves per-
sonal injury or death, after stop
ping and giving assistance, he shall
by the quickest means of commun-
ication, notify the local police de-
partment. if within a municipality
otherwise, the office of the county
sheriff.
6. In every case, if the accident
involves injury, death or apparent
total damage Of $50 or more, he
shall. within "a hours, forward a
written report directly to the Com
missioner of Highways, st. Paul
Mimi. This report must be made in
addition to any report which may
have been made to the local police
Report forms may be obtained
from local police, any state High
way patrolman, state Highway
district maintenance offices, OF
sheriffs or clerks Of court, and
from many gasoline stations, in
formation booths and travel bur-
eaus.
The accident reports to the De
partment Of Highways are conf.
dental, or the use Of the depart
ment for accident prevention pur-
poses, and cannot be used as evi.
dence in any trial. Therefore, there
need be no hesitancy in reporting
all the facts fully. Naturally, the
more complete are the reports, the
more successful will be the acct.
dent prevention campaign.

Government Starts New Year

Midnight. July list, ushered in
the new year for Unccle Sam. 1t
is then that all appropriations be-
come effective unless otherwise
specified. The days preceding July
LIST are always busy days in Con-
gress and this year was no excep-
ton to the rule. On Friday we sent
to the President the relief bill car
rying $1,755, 100000 which the
President signed under protest.
The Administration sustained
two severe defeats on Friday. The
Senate filibuster killed the none
tary power law which expired at
midnight. That is the law under
which the President has the power
to devalue the dollar. 1t also Great
ed a two billion dollar sterilization
fund. Personally, was glad to see
that power taken away from the
President. Congress had no right
to surrender it in the first place.
The Administration was again
defeated on the same day when we
wrote into the Neutrality bill a
limited arms embargo by vote of
200 to 40. This action was taken
Notwithstanding the personal ap-
peal of Speaker Bankhead and
Majority leader Rayburn that it be
rejected. 1 very much doubt if the
President will sign the Bloom
Neutrality Act in it's present form
because it does not give him a free
hand in time of war. Roosevelt
wants a law that permits him to
furnish favored belligerent coun-
tries with unlimited credits and
war material. That is altogether
too much power to grant to any
man, I care not who he is. Wood
row Wilson had such power and we
know with what tragic results it
was used.
Sweden Prospers
Last Friday had the pleasure of
meeting Mr.. Gustav Moller, Swed-
ish Minister of Commerce, who
visited Washington on his tour Of
the United States. The meeting
took place in the Speakers office
and naturally he was asked some
questions regarding conditions in
his country. Sweden, with a popu-
lation of 71a million, has practical
ly no unemployment. Mr.. Moller
informed us that his country is
having a regular boom"
I wish the President would tell
us why we are tagging behind
European countries in recovery.
This is the richest country in all
the world. We have more resour-
ces than any other country, yet we
have a much larger percentage of
unemployment and more actual
suffering. Isn't it about time that
we sit up and take an inventory
and find out what is wrong!

White Bison Venerated
BY Most Plains Indians
One Of the most sacred animals
in the world is a white bison, COM
pared with which the white ele-
plant Of Siam or Burma hardly
ranks for holiness. It Is venerated
by nearly all tribes Of the Plains
Indians. In times past, before the
Sioux, Crow and other tribes had
made much progress in accepting
the ways Of the white man, the hide
Of the creature was so valued that
an Indian would trade his best horses
for one, although he would not part
with them for any other considera-
ton whatsoever, according to eth
biologists Of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition.
Among many primitive peoples
white animals, albinos and other
wise. have been endowed with SUI
pernatural virtues. The animal Sc
lected for this reverence Is usually
one closely associated with the life
Of the people, like the elephant in
Bhuddist countries. The ordinary
bison was the Plains Indians
source Of livelihood. It provided
him with food and clothing and,
with the hides used for making
tents, shelter.
Long before the Indians had guns
and horses they killed the bison by
driving them into pens, or over the
Drinks Of high entertainments. Ac-
cording to a story from the Atsina
Indians, the meat and hide of a
herd thus slaughtered was not
touched if a white bison was among
the carcasses. It was skinned and
the hide preserved as a religious
article.
Among the Teton Sioux, accord
ing to another legend, the white
bison was believed to have taken the
form Of q beautiful supernatural
woman.
