Billy Mink was living high. Yes,
sir, Billy Mink was living high.
For the first time in his life he
didn't have to hunt for his meals.
Whenever he became hungry all he
had to do was to slip out from
under the wood pile, and there was
a meal waiting for him. OF course,
1t hadn't taken Billy long to find
out where those meals came from.
After the first day Billy had
watched. Peeping out from his
hiding place under the wood, he
had seen the farmer come from

TIME NOW TO FEED
GRAIN TO LIVESTOCK

If Minnesota farmers want their
livestock to continue to do well
through the remainder Of the win
ter, now is the time to begin feed
ing some grain.
w. H. Peters, chief Of the div
ision of animal husbandry at Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul, says that
"the fall of 1888 was an unusually
economical one for the feeding Of
all farm livestock. Warm, open
weather made it possible to give
animals the run of the farm, and
they have been able to salvage
about everything that resembled
feed. This was good for the live
stock, for the farm and the farm
err"
Roughage alone was sufficient
to keep animals in good shape thru
the fall months, but all young,
growing animals and animals that
are thin in flesh will suffer severe
setback if they must depend on hay
or cornstalks during the cold win
ter months. A little good ear corn
or grain Of some kind fed to prac-
tically all kinds of livestock thru
January and February will prove
profitable, especially this year with
grain prices low and livestock on a
somewhat higher price level. The
grain will supply the added heat
necessary to keep the bodies of the
animals warm and to keep them
doing well during this period.

RETURN FROM
FLORIDA HOLIDAY

The colorful pageantry of the
Epiphany celebration as observed
by the Greek Orthodox Church was
one of the many interesting things
witnessed by Mrs. Mae Fiesler and
Miss Nell Hansen, who returned
this week after a mid-winter holi-
day vacation in Florida. They had
visited in Tarpon Springs, with Mr..
and Mrs. r. N. Hoople. Miss Han
sen returned to her home here Mon
day evening; while Mrs. Fiesler re-
manned in Minneapolis a day to
visit with her daughters. Tarpon
Springs, Miss Hansen said, is on
the Gulf side of the Peninsular
state, is near the old st. Peters
burg, and the town where Ring
ling's circus winters. The Epiphany
observance, that in Christian cal
endar ends the Christmas cycle,
draws Greeks from all over the
United States to Tarpon Springs,
Miss Hansen said. A colorful pro-
cession winds to the bayou into
which a gold cross is thrown. Boy
divers literally swarm the bayou
and Immediately dive for the cross.
The belief is, she said, that the boy
who retrieves it is Blessed for the
coming year. Miss Hansen and
Mrs. Fiesler had left this state the
Monday after Christmas Day. Mrs.
Fiesler and Mrs. Hoople are sisters.

Observations
from Washington
President In Belligerent Mood
Blu CONGRESSMAN knUtSOn

President Roosevelt delivered his
annual message to Congress in
person and as I sat and listened to
its reading my mind went back ~
wears to a similar occasion when
President Wilson appeared in per-
SON before Congress to ask that
a state of war be declared against
the central powers of Europe.
Like the Wilson message, the
one delivered by Mr.. Roosevelt al
so sent a chill down the backs OF
the American people. He was
most unsparing in his castigation
of relationships and while ne
mentioned no names all knew that
he had particular reference to
Hitler. Mr.. Roosevelt's message
consumed forty minutes and in all
that time we heard not one sug-
gestion for putting the 10 million
unemployed back to work, neither
did he mention the need for giving
the American farmer prices for
his products that will give him q
fair profit. Rather, his message
may be regarded as a cleverly con-
trived smoke screen designed to
take our minds off these very SER
ious problems at home. Indeed,
there are those, Democrats among
them, who say his message was an
out-and-out bid for a third term.
The President processes to see
a real danger to this country and
in order to prepare for that i'm

for Sank Centre people when their
car skidded to the ditch and turned
over twice. Mr.. and Mrs. George
Steiner, and the latter's mother,
Mrs. p. Kramer, were the occu-
pants of the Inflated automobile.
Mrs. Steiner suffered two fractured
ribs and Mrs. Kramer was shaken
up and bruised. Mr.. Steiner stat
ed that it was raining when they
left Minneapolis and this had form
ed into slush, although it did not
cause the pavement to become slip
perry generally. They had just driv-
en- over the top of hill and sud
denly were confronted with ice

it was obscured from the suns

who were confined to a hospital in
st. Cloud, returned home Sunday,
and are recuperating satisfactorily.
