An Ancient
Picture Gallery

| refer to the Temple of the
Warriors at Chichen liza. 1t is sur
rounded by the Group of a Thou
sand Columns Remarkable paint
ings are here We paint our homes
every three or four years. But our
paint does not last. But in the
Temple of the Warriors they used a
durable paint, that lasted 500 years
after the temple was abandoned
about 140O A. d. Let us visit it
now
1t is Of monumental proportions,
probably measuring 200 feet by 200
feet 1t is surrounded by an impos-
ing colonnade, enclosing five acres
of ground. The Temple gets it's
name from the walls which are
sculptured with figures of Warriors.
No two figures on the walls or on
the thousand columns are alike!
This diversity is nothing less than
astounding Either the head drafts
man had amazing versatility, or
each artist worked out a design of
his own The pictures are done in
cOlors brown, red green, yellow,
and the colors harmonic. The paint
is on carved stone, of course not
stucco, and it is still quite bright,
after lapse of nearly thousand
years.
The warriors are often clothed in
coats of jaguar skin Somewhat like
the familiar Indian headgear, they
are decorated with feathers. Priests
appear also and are painted in
gaudy costumes, with the feathered
serpent always in evidence Ami
mails are depicted with human
hearts in their claws. They are of
fering them to the high-priest, who
extends to them a flaming torch, as
if to consume an offering. The an
imals thus shown are the eagle. the
jaguar, the monkey and the bear.
1t is difficult to conjecture just
what functions this building had.

WATCH LEFTOVERS
CAREFULLY

Biting into luscious cream puffs
may be a delightful pastime, but it
can also be dangerous. Norma Asch-
bacher, extension nutritionist, Ohio
State University, warns housewives
of the danger lurking especially in
cream puffs, custards, sauces, or
leftovers that are not used immed-
lately
Sometimes these foods do not
have detectable sour odor, but
nevertheless they make people i'll.
Spoilage may occur at home as well
as in the store or bakery, and it
may happen at any time of the year.
Miss Aschbacher says when custards
are made at home, they should be
properly refrigerated until used,
served as soon as possible and new
er exposed to the heat of the kitch-
en- or any other warm room
Desserts in which custard is used
should be kept chilled from the time
they are cooked until they appear
on the table. If possible they should
be eaten the day they are made. 1t
custard part and the cake or pastry
part until just before serving.
The Food and Drug Administra-
tion of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is often called
on to ascertain the cause of food
poisoning outbreaks. Time and
again it is found that the trouble is
is due to some moist food like a Gus
tard or custary pastry, a gravy or
sauce. or some leftover meat or fish
that has not been properly kept be-
fore it was eaten
Ground meat and fish leftovers
are frequently served as hash, crO-
quettes, salads or in sandwich fill
ings, mixed with mayonaise Amy
leftovers should be kept properly
cold, not over so degrees Fahren-

Questions Pertaining
To Agriculture

1 am expecting my spring crop
of lambs to start coming soon
When should they be locked and
castrated?
Trim and dock lambs a week OF
10 days after birth. There will be
the least setback then and very
little danger of loss.-W. E. Nor
ris, extension animal husbandman
How can discoloration of bana-
mas be prevented?
Dipping or marinating banana
in lemon juice, orange juice OF
other fruit juices will delay dis
coloration.-Inez Hobart, extension
nutrition specialist.
Are all varieties of vegetables
equally good for freezing in cold
storage lockers?
No. The following is list that
are suitable: Bush beans-string-
less green pod, tendergreen, PEN
Gil pod, brittle wax. Pole beans

horticulture.
Is it possible to move tulip bulbs
from one place to another in the
spring and still get blooms?
We advise against moving them
now since the roots that formed
last fall would probably be- destroy
ed. If you must move them, dig up
a large mass Of earth and be care
full not to break it away from the
bulb.-L. E. Longley, division of
horticulture.
A salesman offered to sell me
some new wonderful hybrid" oats
for seed. Do you advise planting
them?
Do not be misled by extravagant
claims for so-called hybrid" oats.
The oat plant s self-pollinated and
therefore enc variety does not cas-
lily cross with another. We will
never have oat hybrids in the same
way that we now have corn n.y.

to be adapted for Minnesota, we
will be glad to recommend them /;

In a stormy session Wednesday
afternoon the board discussed a
resolution drawn up by Anton
Traut, county commissioner, but
failed to take any definite action.
The resolution did not appear on
the minutes of the meeting.
Situation is Outlined
The resolution stated that, "this
county is now very much over
drawn in the several funds, includ-
ing the welfare fund, and 1t is
the intention of this board that the
overdraft in the welfare fund could
be avoided through adjustment of
grants and rules and regulations
of the state department.
The Traut resolution stated that
relatives of applicants still able to
give support, should aid applicants;
valuations were lowered by state
representatives in order to make
applicants eligible for aid; grants
were raised in nearly every instance
where a state hearing was asked
and this then set the amount for
the local board to follow. It is his
belief that this is too high an av-
erage.
It also stated that changing rules
and regulations are unfair to the
taxpayers, especially the regulation
making it compulsory for the coun-
ty to pay for hospital and medical
aid for those in need. It continued
by stating that this board feels
that a large percentage could be
supported by relatives who received
the property and resources Of ap-
plicants and a cut of Is percent
be provided for the remaining
clients, and that a 'lien law" be
provided for property in the event
of the death of the recipient. 1t

Stearns county commissioners to.
day were faced with the acute
problem of obtaining $4,000 to con-
tinue the welfare fund until the
end of the fiscal year, in July, fol-
lowing a stormy session late Wed
nesday afternoon in which a resolu-
ton by Anton Traut was discussed
asking that further payments be
stopped until financial aid or an
agreement is reached for a more
economical program.
Frank Bemis, executive secretary
of the welfare board, said the well
fare department faces a suspension
of the program unless some meas
ure is taken to obtain funds before
next Tuesday.
Unless funds for the continuance
of the welfare program are obtain
ed 1,409 old age assistance clients
as we'll as 226 mothers receiving
aid for 657 dependent children and
400 direct relief cases involving an
additional 100 persons will be cut
Off from aid.
At the present time the fund is
overdrawn approximately $4,000,
approximately the amount slashed
when the relief budget calling for
a $246, 900 levy was presented to the
county board last June. The board
eventually approved a levy of
$1S5,OOO for Stearns county welfare
purposes.
Warrants Held Up
Frank RAINIER, county auditor,
said that at the present time the
county is unable to authorize any
more warrants until provision for
continuance of the program is
made.
Appearing before the county
board this morning Bemis told the
county commissioners that If the
board fails to raise $4,000 before
Monday he will be forced to notify
the state that Stearns county must
suspend payment. He warned the
members of the county board that
federal aid for the welfare program
might be taken from the 81 coun-
ties of the state if Stearns county
fails to furnish funds for the pro-
gram. Members of the board who
opposed continuance of the pro-
gram could be removed from office
by the governor, he said.
Bemis quoted state law as fol-
lows: 1.-The board of commissioners

ceived up to and including April 5,
Commissioner M. j. Hoffman an
nounced.
On December 81, the department
had a cash balance of 1898, 80
but owed current accounts payable
totalling $2,024,796.31.
All bills on which payments can
be made have been paid, Commits
sioner Hoffman announced, and
sufficient funds are on hand to
meet certain remaining amounts on
which payments must be withheld
until they have been passed upon
by the courts or other authorities
as it is expected will be determined
by the state legislature.

Ask Retention of Relief
Fund For Dependents
Three Commissioners Are
Charged With Hating
Welfare Program

members OF the county DOarQ or
commissioners drew the fire of the
Stearns county Workers Alliance
when a resolution was mailed to
Governor Harold Stassen asking
that the county board provide funds
for the continuance of the welfare
program or be removed from office
by the governor.
In st. Paul Monday to secure $50
600 from the investment board for
continuing the welfare program
were members of the county board
and Frank Rainier, Stearns coun-
ty auditor. Until some provision
for continuance of the program Is
made no warrants can be author
lied by the county.
Ed Lawler, head of the Workers
Alliance, said Monday morning a
statement charging Lawrence Her
zog, Joseph Weber and Anton
Traut, members of the county
board, with attempting to block the
welfare program would also be sent
to Governor Stassen. Leo Gam
brine and Charles Weber, also
board members, would not be in
cluded in the statement, he said.
Under a state law members of
the county board can be removed
from office by the governor for
failing to provide funds for full
payment of old age assistance and
aid to dependents programs. Pre-
sented to the county board last
June was a budget of $4,000 es-
timated to carry out the welfare
program for the fiscal year. At the
present time the $185, 1000 fund ap-
proved by the county board is over
drawn and $4,000 is needed to
carry on the program until July.
Failure to obtain the funds need
ed for continuance of the program
would automatically halt all federal
funds for the 81 counties in the
state, Frank Bemis, executive Sec
rotary of the welfare board, pointed
out to the commissioners last week.
Under a resolution presented by
Traut, but which did not appear on
the minutes of the meeting, fur
Their payments for the welfare pro-
gram would be held up until finan-
cial aid is obtained or until an
agreement for a more economical
program is reached.
Facing possibility of being cut off
from all assistance until some pro-
vision for the continuance of the
program is reached are approx
mately 1900 persons in Stearns
county.
The Traut resolution started a
heated argument which continued
for over an hour and which ended
with no formal vote being taken on
the resolution by the board.
Postponed until Thursday was the
scheduled meeting Tuesday of the
Stearns county welfare board. Be-
mis- pointed out that there was no
reason for the welfare board to
meet until funds for the payment
of welfare warrants are available
The resolution of the Workers AL,
lance marked the first definite ster
by an organization demanding that
the full welfare program be con
tinued.-St. Cloud Times.
