CALCIUM
The Great Human
Need

People of all ages need calcium
and few today get a sufficient
amount of it for the greatest or
most abundant health.
The best and the cheapest source
of calcium is in dairy products.
The lower the income for food,
the greater the need for more of
dairy products is the regular every
day diet of all of us.
Fresh fluid pasteurized milk
daily in some form should be used,
either as a beverage or in cooked
food.

Hello folks:

Hello folks:
Now that the frost is on the
pumpkins and the leaves are be-
ginning to fall, instead OF looking
on these evidences of coming VIM

feel rejuvenated because we re-

here and all the other festive
DAYS along with it. For quite a
while the Twin Cities have really
been dull as far as social activities
are concerned, but we are sure
with the chill winds a blowing
that they will wake up our social
groups and stir up some worth
while activities. Even though
things are kind of dull right now,
Brother Stork never forgets to
cause some excitement. He's max
ing plans to visit what prominent
st. Paul couple sometime this WIN
ter and also what well-knoWn
South Minneapolis couple too? !.

Young's Stand On

Calls This Activity
To Attention of Dies
Committee

American Banker Bureau
Washington, March %. - The
stand of Roy A. Young, president
of the Federal Reserve Bank OF
Boston, in supporting Branch bank.
ing in New Hampshire, has been
called to the attention of the Spec.
ial Committee to Investigate I'm
American Activities, as an instance
of "monopolistic, un-democratic'
activity with "tinges of fascism.'
Representative Martin Dies, chair
man Of the committee, has been
asked to investigate.
Ben Dubois, secretary of the In
dependent Bankers Association, has
filed with Chairman Dies a request
that the recent activities Of Roy
A. Young" be given the committees
attention"
Secretary Dubois argues that
"Mr. Young's activities are un.
American, that his advocacy OF
branch banking is an effort to de,
stroy our American system of bank,
ing, system of banking that has
been individualistic and responsible
in large degree for the rapid
growth of our country"
Tends Toward Fascism
It is asserted in the letter that
such branch banking activities
tend ITO destroy banking system
that is distinctly American and
replace it with a foreign system
of branch banking, a system that
is monopolistic, un-democratic and
with tinges Of fascism."
1t is argued that branch bank
ing, allowed to develop uncontroll-
ed, would give a few bankers a
credit monopoly that would be a
challenge to the sovereignty of the
Federal Government. 1t is one OF
the most insidious Of Old-World re-
actionaryisms," Secretary Dubois
declares. Branch banking Is q
destroyer of community enterprise
1t substitutes distant landlordism
for local control. It is a destroyer
Of individualism and dwarfs the in
itiative Of our people. It would
substitute a system that would be
detrimental to free enterprise, and
free enterprise is necessary If we
are to develop a people that are
capable Of maintaining a democ-
racy."
The secretary Of the Independent
Bankers Association declares in
the letter to Chairman Dies, whose
committee has recently been allot.

may be he never intended that this
vehicle should.
At any rate the retrospective post
mortems handed out by critic Rob

after the play had shown at the
Selwyn week ago, do not point
the avenue clear to the bright
lights.
Critic Pollak does his spanking

veins, with the main theme being,
Lewis, you're a grand fellow but
you're out of your element on the
stage"
Yet Pollak is kind. He's kind to
Lewis; but not to his play. In fact
he almost apologies that he must
give a lashing to this piece of the
incompatible Mr.. Lewis. His ver-
bal whipping of Angela" is less
severe, more Of a handspring
act. Pollak here assumes the role
of the knowing father, schooled
wisely in the ways of the world,
who says to the Grant, 'Uh-uh,
mustn't touch"
To put it as plainly as possible,
columnist Pollak likes Lewis and
his genius immensely, but he
judges from Angela" that Lewis
is taking his genius into so much
fire when he jumps at the theatre.
He starts off easily by pointing
that Lewis is running only into
the same difficulties that confront
every novelist in his early bouts
with the theatre. He points fur
Their that even Lewis is not yet
satisfied with the revisions in AN
gela."
He softens the spanking that is
to come with this tribute: 1.-THE
man who wrote Main Street was
born with a poets imagination and
the gift of creating magnificent
characters"
He continues the prologue to his
upbraiding: ITO write we'll for the
stage is the severest test literary
man can set himself. He may
learn to conquer the knotty prob
lens Of structure, to manage the
physical movement of his puppets,
even to create subtle mood and
crashing climax. Once he acquires
this skill, his battle is only half
won. For he must make the peo-
pie out front discover what Is GO

acters by the words he puts in
their mouths"
But" and here Mr.. Pollak de-
livers his first swat, ain Angela he

Lewis for collaborating with Fay

find out how young girl behaves

one man.

With the prospect of an arrival

At the same time, Clifford, in
revamping his views of the Chin.

democratic align ment behind
China's cause. Not so long ago, he
bemoaned the Chinese cause as
nearly lost, but pointed now to
guerilla tactics and foreign active
participation as possible hopes fol-
China.
In recent letter to his parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Domke, here, he

OF course, he must finish year
at Carleton, and as indicated, this
is only prospect. But he pointed
out that it's up to the United States
to help the Latin American con.

a place for young Americans with
the desire to fill that need.

Agents Office
Plan All Camp
For Stearns And
Meeker Counties
HOPPER CONTROL
Home-Furnishing
Check-Up Day
Monday, March 81

A All camp for Stearns and
Meeker county club members and
leaders was planned by the Home
Demonstration Agents Lois M. Mill
er and Ellen L. Moline, County
Agents Ralph Wayne, E. c. LEM
meier and Assistant County Agent
Ray Burkholder. Over one hundred
members and leaders are expected
to attend the camp which will be
held June 1910 at the Lake Kor-
onis Assembly Grounds. Plans for
camp include instruction in Home
Economics, animal and crop pro
jects as well as Conservation and
Safety. Sports, amateur numbers
and handicraft will be afternoon
and evening recreation.
Plans are already underway in
Stearns county according to the
county agents office to amply take
care of the grasshopper control pro-
gram for the coming year. On
May 10Th the organization commit
teemen. for the various townships
will meet at st. Cloud to lay out
the detailed plans for the coming
year. Stearns county after several
years of effective work Is not de-
signated as a badly infested coun-
ty, therefore the control task in the
county will not be such a heavy one.
AS in former years, the outbreaks
will be more severe in some town
ships than in others. This is clear
ly indicated according to the extern
sion office by the egg survey that
was completed last fall. Many
counties in Minnesota will have a
much more severe infestation than
Stearns. 1t is anticipated that with
the supply Of material now on hand
in the county and with what prob
ably will be received that there will
be an ample supply of material to
take care Of the needs within the
county.
Plans for Home Furnishing

Weed Meet
April 1st At
st. Cloud
Called By Minnesota
Department of
Agriculture
CONTROL PROGRAM
All Interested In
Eradication Are
Invited To Meeting

Stearns County's annual weed
meeting will be held at 1000 a. m.
on Saturday, April list, 1889, at the
Court House at st. Cloud, an an
nouncement from the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, Dairy and
Food, division of weed and seed
control, said today.
Weed control and eradication
programs which did good work in
1888 in Minnesota counties can be
considered at the county meeting
and used as a foundation on which
1889 plans can be definitely laid
the departments notice said. To
reach the goal of a sound county
program for this year, linked with
those of neighboring counties and
the state, the department hopes
every farmer, every official and
every citizen concerned and inter-
ested in this problem will take an
active part in the meeting.
New and important phases of
control work will be stressed. Prac-
teal field work, guarantees, edu-
cation and experience Of past years
will serve as a base on which plans
can be made for farm and neigh
borhood programs. Familiarity with
the more important weeds and
more general use of the most eff
fective eradication methods will
result from these discussions.
The legislatures being in session
prevents the county's legislators
from attending the meeting but
all other officials, including the
county commissioners, auditor, en-
gineer, county agent and local Of
ficers are invited to attend. Rural
school teachers, where possible,
land agents and owners, all county
farmers and as many city and vii
lage residents as wish are also in
vited.
Members Of the county board are
expressly invited to the meeting,
the announcement said, and the
possibilities Of the county's employ
ing it's own weed inspector to CO
operate with local inspectors can
be considered. In Minnesota coun-
ties which did employ their own
weed men during 1888 there was a
marked increase in the amount of
intelligently active work done, the
department reported.
Those in charge Of the meeting
for the state division Of weed and
seed control are Sam Hammerbeck
and Sig Bjerken.
