Nursing Project
Given Decrease
In Federal Aid
Pine County Nursing Pro-
iect Committee Will En-
deavor to Keep Work.

In the face of a decrease of $20C
in the Federal allotment for Pine
county's nursing project an attempt
will be made to keep the project in
operation. The Nursing Advisory
committee met at County Nurse Mar
ion Krogdahl's office in Hinckley
Thursday evening, June 8, with eight
members present. The meeting was
opened by Mrs. Herbert Johnson
president. The secretary's report was
read and accepted. Mrs. Johnson
stated Federal fund of $500 instead
of $500 would be extended to Pine
county for another year for the nurs-
ing service if the balance could be
raised in the county. The committee
is very anxious to continue the work
that is so well established and will
do its best to meet the requirements
Visitors were Miss Ann inquest OF
Minneapolis and Mrs. Oscar Eklund
of Bruno.
Miss Krogdahl gave her report on
different phases of the work which
included school inspections that were
finished during the spring months
which revealed interesting figures
Many more corrections of eye condi-
tons and defective teeth were found
than had been anticipated.
These schools which were visited
in the spring of 1888 were seen again
this year and defective conditions
were checked. Consequently the fig
ures covered about 500 of the total
school population. In the fall the re-
mainder of the rural schools will be
visited and corrections tabulated.
The percentage of correction for
both eye and dental defects are given
for each town and the rural schools

Are They Fakes ?

In these days of depression every
known racket is played and citi-
zens necessarily must be on their
guard at all times to avoid being
taken in" The inducement of this
warning is an incident which oc-
CURED several days ago in the
Askov community.
A rural lady was interrupted in
her work by a man who wished
to service her Singer sewing ma
chine and since her machine
needed a certain repair, she let
him see it. The part needed was
priced by him at $4.2O and he
would fix it right there, yes sir.
But the lady was on her guard
and refused to give the stranger
any money, so he went his way.
She, with her husband, went to
the Twin Cities Tuesday and called
at the Singer sewing machine
agency where they found that the
repair in question cost them Just
$1.15..
Their warning to others is that
each and every one should be GER
tain as to the identity of the
strangers who would take money
for his wares and first ascertain
If they are fakes.

|Hoppers Menace
Farms In County
WPA Project is Set up to
Mix Bait; Wet Poison is
Most Effective.

Grasshopper bait mixing is going
forward at rapid pace according to
Max McMillin, county agent. Plans
have been completed for setting up
WPA project for mixing the bait
at Sandstone, and the town boards
get the bait at the mixing station for
their townships
The young 'hoppers are Matching
at a very rapid rate, and poison
ing will be necessary in most of the
county if grasshoppers are to be con-
trolled, according to Mr.. McMillin.
Reports from the Red River Valley
area where 40 carloads of bait have
been distributed in one county have
indicated that the bait which is being
used this year is very effective and
is getting around a rs percent kill
on one application.
1t is very important that this bait
be spread before the grasshoppers
start to leave their Matching beds as
in this way a much smaller area has
to be covered. Farmers are also
full in cutting their hay as hoppers
will then move to adjacent grain fields
in large numbers. 1t is advisable to
leave strips of standing hay every
100 to 200 feet and around the edge
of the field and the young hoppers
will congregate in these strips and
can be poisoned very effectively with
little work.
Spread Bait Wet!
Grasshopper bait should not be
spread when dry. The bait will be
mixed properly at the mixing station,
according to Mr.. McMillin, but if
much time elapses between the mix
ing and the spreading, the bait will
dry out and should have water added
before it is spread. 1t should be wet
enough so couple drops of water
can be squeezed out between fingers
when handful is squeezed.
Bait should be spread when the
temperature is somewhere between
IS degrees and 80 degrees, as this is
the time when the hoppers are feed
ing. Last year, according to Mr. Nc
Millin, large amount of bait was
spread when the weather was too
cold for hoppers to be feeding, and
by the time it had warmed up the
bait had dried up and it was of little
value.
1t is planned to have bait spreading
demonstrations held at different
places in the county in the near flu
ture.

Wa|sh-Hea|ey Act
Extension 10 $4,000
Contracts Approved
Senute Also Votes
For U. S. Blacklist
Of VioIutors
Hy the Associated Press.

b the Associated Press.
Revision of the Walsh -Healey Pub
lie Contracts Act to bring smaller
provide for a Government black
list" of violators of the Wagner
Labor Relations Act won Senate
approval yesterday on voice vote.
The measure now goes to the
House.
The proposed amendments would
make the law applicable TO contracts
involving $4,000 or more. whereas
the present law exempts all below
$1,000. The Senate Labor Com
mittee estimated not more than 3
per cent of the number and IS per
cent of the total value of all Gov
eminent contracts is covered by ex-
listing law.
Also brought under the law for
the first time would be subcon-
tractors and contracts for services
and construction of ships and float
ing equipment.
Three-year Clause Proposed.
AS reported to the Senate, the
amendments included a provision
which would make contractors con-
victed of violating the Wagner Act
ineligible for three years to bid on
Government contracts.
The Senate modified this, how
ever, to provide that such con-
tractors be taken off the black
list" after an administrative deter
mination that they had "perma-
nently" eliminated the violation.
Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio,
led fight against the provision.
"If stronger penalty should be
provided for violations of the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act" he told
the Senate, lets put it in that law
where it belongs" He added that
the country had not yet reached
the point where man knows
whether he is violating that act" ."
He argued also that the black
listing" provision might be used to
"blackmail" employers into bowling
TO the will of the Labor Board.
lllC Dodl VI SoulI Say, IL ou
take this matter to court and lose,
you'll lose your Government con-
tracts for three years." he said.
Labor Backs Blacklist.
Senator Walsh, Democrat. of Mas
sachusetts said the provision for
"blacklisting" violators of the Wag-
ner Act, as well as violators of the
Walsh Healey Ac,, had been put into
the bill at the request of the C. I. O.,
the A. F. of L. and "all those seeking
an effective way of penalizing those
who violate the Wagner Act and this
law"
The Government will not be per-
n1itted to blacklist until the court
has decided there's been a violation, -
he said.
Majority Leader Barkley said the
Government ought to keep its own
skirts clean by insisting that its
laws be observed by firms handling
its contracts.

picture offered Sale of pictures
without a synopsis is called blind
