Church." Larabee and McMillen,
Rev. Geo. F. Martin, Minister
The rain storm Sunday didn't DAM
pen the interest nor hamper the
attendance for some activities but
it did have its telling effect on the
average church goer; Betheps at
tendance was greatly cut down as
the rain and wind kept many from
attending church. However the
few who braved the storm were
doubly paid with a rich blessing
through the worship services. Be

well rounded out program and each
department has set o goal to reach.
Rev. and Mrs. Martin wish to
thank their many friends and the
members of the church for their
many courtesies extended them
throughout the year and especially
at Thanksgiving and Christmas
season.

A RESOLUTION FOR
EACH MONTH.

I believe in New Years resolutions
every month in the year. think the
best way to improve our methods OF
living is to change them whenever we
find better method than the one we
have been using for any kind of ac-
complishment.
If were suggesting resolutions for
homenlakers, I suspect the first dozen
or so would be along food and health
lines. And just for fear you are going
to feel that you didn't get off to a good
start because you didn't have one for
January, I'll suggest it here, even
though we do have another one for
the month of February.
So here's January's-"I Resolve to
Definitely Plan the Family Diet" You
simply have to plan if you expect to
serve your family the right foods and
to buy those foods you have to buy at
the right prices.
And then for February-"I Resolve to
Plan the Family Home Produced Food, I"
which means that on your farm and in
your garden you will plan to produce
many of the foods that your family
needs. You can plan a garden that
will give you a winters canned food
supply, as well as vegetables all through
the summer. You will probably have
your own milk, egg and meat supply,
but If you have all the fruit you need,
that Is going to require considerable
planning and looking ahead. February
is good time to start this also.

LINCOLN AND


AS we celebrate Lincoln's birthday 1t
is fitting that we emphasize OCCASION
ally his interest in and contribution to
agriculture.
In 1859 he said, mo other occupation
opens so wide a field for the profitable
and agreeable combination of labor with
cultivated thought, as agriculture"
In the second year of his presidency,
and the second year of the Civil War
1862-three bills of vast significance to
agriculture were passed by Congress.
1. The Department of Agriculture
was established with Commissioner
at its head. Lincoln said, 1.-THE creation
of this department was for the more
immediate benefit of large class of our
most valuable citizens"
2. The Homestead Act" made 234,-
100000 acres of public land available
for private ownership and thus made
possible the further settlement Of the
Middle West and West by farm people.
3. The Laid Grant College Act set
aside public lands to provide revenue
for establishing colleges for training
in agriculture, as other colleges had
long been doing in medicine, law, the

COUNTY HEADS
URGE NO CHANGE
County Commissioners Back &c
Gas Tax; Hit One Mill
Tax Repeal.

Fearing a crisis in the improvement
of county roads, members of the Min
nesota Association of County Commits
sioners meeting in st. Paul last week
adopted resolution opposing reduc-
ton in the state four cent gas tax, con-
demning the proposed mandatory di-
vision of gas tax monies with the town.
ships, and urging the legislature to
make no change in the state one mill
road and bridge tax law until an interim
committee of the legislature has had
time to study the highway problems of
the state and it's 81 counties.
The county commissioners COM
means of producing revenues for high
way construction purposes, expressed
vigorous opposition to any diversion for
any other purpose, and urged the re-
enactment of the present &C gas tax law
which would automatically expire July 1.
Failure of such action, the commits
sioners held, will result in drastic cur
tailment of county road programs or
in the levying of higher local taxes on
real estate.
After study of the proposal to re-
peal the Dunn one mill tax law, which
is the backbone of the state aid road
system in Minnesota counties, the COM
pointed out that the counties
and townships now are required to set
up their highway work on a basis of
procedure which has been enaced piece
meal over long period of time.
Many of the county and township
laws are antiquated, overlapping, and
contradictory, resulting in duplication
of effort without giving the local road
users adequate service" the resolution
declared
Proposals to repeal the one mill tax
law they held would further complicate
the county highway administrative pro-
cedure and impair the road improve
ment program. They, therefore, asked
that the legislature enact no new high
way legislation at this session other
than the re-enactment of the &c gas
tax and that they place in the hands
of an interim committee the duty of in
vestigating road needs of the various
counties and townships, revising and
codifying highway finance procedure,
and recommending to the Governor and
the 1941 legislature program of high
way legislation.

SEVEN BLIND PIGS TO MARKET.

Starbuck-Last week when Arnold
Dullum was trying to load some hogs
belonging to Arthur Ranum of Starbuck
he noticed that they wanted to run in
every direction and then he learned
that they were blind. When he arrived
in the city with the seven blind hogs the
commission firms were highly interested
and called the University Farm head
quarters to come to the stockyards to
see them. On Thursday noon the odd
ity was broadcast over the radio on
the Farm Hour program. These hogs
were all from one litter and no other
hogs on the farm are blind. They
brought top prices when sold.
