Very truly yours.

P. M. REA, --
After reading these letters it is
not so difficult to understand why
it is that professors Of 20 or 30
years standing are suddenly accused
of "lack of cooperation" See if the
following passages from letters,
written from years ago, have not
come true:
"Alibi Simmons" is living up to
his past record. "He has the ability
to spend large amounts of money
with which he gets small results. ="
He asked the last Legislature for
$135,000 increase in appropriation
(none of which he goD. He has
spent hundreds of thousands of dol
lars for new buildings-but no pro
fessor dare speak his mind in them.
"Alibi Simmons" "has a quick i'm
agination in conceiving grandilo-
quent schemes" but His insincerity,
however, loses friends. ="
"Alibi Simmons" "has left every
previous position under accusations
of intrigue and disloyalty. Mon

3 American Girls Enjoy
Visit In Europe-Local
People Heard Broadcast

From Berlin, Germany, early one
morning last week st, Paul school
teacher a former member Of the
Sank Centre faculty broadcast as
one of a tour group over short
wave radio.

it was 1915 p. m. last Thursday.
There were a group of American
girls on tour who talked, greeted
families at home, and after
dancing all night the broadcast was
terminating the fun, It'll be home
when my money and my feet give
out" Miss Miller said. Before they
talked the group sang my Bonnie
Lies Over the Ocean"
"It was exciting and a real
thrill" Mrs. Meigs said this week.
Her voice seemed natural. 1t

In Recent Report

In a recent article pertaining to

Will Have
Good Small
Grain Yield
Not Bumper Crop But
Better Than Average
Quality, Say Producers
CORN LOOKS GOOD
Highest Precipitation
Of Six Years Is
Record For 1889

Termed one of the best growing
years in several, this season was
hastening small grains and corn
stands into the harvest swing as
July brought scattered rains taper
ing off from the high precipitation
six-year record set during June.
Recent rains in this city over
Sunday and Monday brought 81
inches according to measure
ments of Henry Rydholm,
brought July total to date to
a scant LA inches as compar-
ed with the peak 1928 inches in
June. In West Union, where
June rains Jagged by nearly
three inches of the Sank Cen
tire total, FIR. Henry Reflex
measured 40 inches for Sun
day and Monday, and rs inch
es for July to date.

Reports from rural sections in
dictate the crop will not hit bump
err" proportions, but definite indica-
tons point to a good yield in small
grains with quality better than
average.
With the harvest of some small
grains already underway, rye and
barley were being cut. Second crop
of alfalfa is being cut in this Sec
ton. Corn stands already shoulder
high in many fields, it was reported.
Some indications are that the
quality may not be up to the par
set a year ago, it was reported.
But persistent cool weather was
ascribed to keeping spread of rust
down to a minimum.
Corn will probably remain good
If no extreme parching winds OF
storms deter its favorable progress
Generally, rains are described as
being well-distributed. Carry over
of moistures from the heavy rains
Of June has been adequately cared
for with small showers this month,
the charts showed.
Most backward influence on this
years crop was the early cold that
first delayed crop planting, and the
later cold and rain that gave weeds
tremendous start. That weed
start impaired early growth and at
the same time somewhat thinned
the stands, it was believed.
Early this week, by Tuesday, the
barometer was on the rise indicat-
ing a return in a few days to fair
weather, though skies remained
overcast. Temperatures were work
ing adversely with the lowest this
month at IS degrees on Sunday and
the highest last Wednesday when
the mercury rocketed to more than
ninety degrees.
Outlook for the latter half of
this month and August is a grad
ual tapering of the rain season,
with the prospect that August will
be drier than in July.

Closing of FTP Has
Affected Local Boys
Temporarily Halted Stage
Careers-BOth Successful
In Chosen Fields

With the death Of Pinocchio in
New York, June 30th, the Federal
Theatre Project-the WPA for
actors and stage workers-folded,
and with it temporarily the stage
craft careers Of two young men who
originated from this section.
The one is dark-haired Carleton
College graduate, Harold Rogers,
actor-son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Rogers, of this city; the other is
artistic Jim Caughren, son of Harry
Caughren, of Osakis, well-known in
this city. Jim was a set designer
in New York, friend of Katherine
Cornell, noted actress; Harold was
working with the project in Chi
cago.
Jim was oddly tangled in the
Pinocchio show. Three weeks be-
fore it's opening he was called in
to do the sets. Jim set to work
with the energy that is his, finish
ed the job, was taken to the hos
pital for a rest.
Harold is the Sank Centre boy
who first went into the FTP In
Chicago playing role, coincident-
ally, in local authors Sinclair Lew
is ut Can't Happen Here" He
studied dramatics in Carleton.
June Both ended three years of
the Federal theatre project. 1t
produced nearly 1000 shows-some
hits, some flops-that played to
more than 80 millions of people.
Dramatically the scene Of Pinoc-
chic, the hayward marionette, in
his death rang curtain finals on
FTP.
Jim, who has been going places
in New York, will probably pursue
his program Of stagecraft. Har-
ODDS parents, who hadn't heard
from him since the close Of the
project, couldn't tell of his future
moves.

the next room we wanted to talk
back to her."
Details that brought about the
broadcast could not be learned,
Mrs. Meigs said. A cablegram from
Berlin had informed the st. Paul
people; a long distance call from
that point relayed the schedule to
this city. st. Paul police aided in
locating the Berlin stations call
letters.
Fer time they thought they had
missed the broadcast. Mrs. Meigs
said. Scheduled for 9:45 here, they
listened to recordings and to news
bulletins broadcast in German be-
fore the awaited program arrived.
Strangely two other girls who were
in the broadcast party were at the
University at the same time Mrs.
Meigs attended.
This week Mrs. Meigs received a
letter from her sister, posted in
England.
England is like opening a must
ly history book" she wrote. Farms
instead Of being marked off with
fences, are inclosed with hedges.
Those small English trains are d.
vided into compartments accomc-
dating six passengers, her letter
said.
Despite reports to the contrary,
England Is seething with talk of
war, she said. An uncertainty pre-
walls, though because they are tour
lists and not in close contact With
affairs, they GO their way and pay
little attention to 1t.

Rev. Exemption
Spoke Before
Rotary Tues.
His Talk Was Conferred
Around Mental, Moral,
Spiritual Growth
SPLENDID OFFERING
Stressed Moral Laws
of God That Are
Without Change

tits time people today had some
thing back of their faces" the Rev.
L. E. Kempton, rector of Trinity
Episcopal Church in Portland, Ore
gon, told Rotary Club Tuesday noon
when he pointed to new-found
freedoms, the greater need for in
ner control, and the yardstick by
which to measure life in the three
phases of growth-mental, moral,
and spiritual.
I'm not a businessman as most
of you fellows are" the 36-year-old
former rector of the local Episco-
pal Church said, $50 I'm going to
be presumptuous enough to talk to
you in my own field-the field Of
ethics, morals, religion"
II think the best way to measure
life," he said as he pointed to the
muddled pattern of so many lives,
"is growth-mental, moral, and spir-
itual growth"
It isn't longevity nor success, for
success is futility on the upgrade"
in the worldly sense of its applica-
ton, he said, that is the measure.
Launching into the mental side
Of the growth, he said, Growing old
isn't a matter of years; it's a mat
ter Of freshness of outlook. We
need outlets to push forward the
frontiers of our minds" He point
ed to variety Of interests in books,
in art, in hobbies, and music to get
us out Of the humdrum Of a rout-
inc existence.
Those who stagnate in the pro-
cess of mental growth he categor-
led in two general classes. The
one, interpretive, selfish, he label
ed "tear-bottlers" who, like the an
cient Hebrews bottle their tears"
and in moments of extreme grief
can, before this tangible evidence
of their sorrow, have blame good
cry" The other, termed those
"who never mentally move out of
the basement Of their lives" he
said are blind to opportunity. I'VE
don't know what we can do because
we never try" was his terse car
ricature of those in this mental
stagnation.
There are moral laws Of God
that are without change-we break
them at our peril" he explained
his views Of moral growth. 1.-THE
trouble is in this twentieth century
we identify freedom and victory as
one and the same thing" We have
the freedom to jump from a six
teen story window, he illustrated,
but that freedom is scant victory
in it's consequence.
Youth today interprets it's new
found freedom for victory, he said,
and flaunts as conquered the free
dom from their parents beliefs and
ideals. Their greatest mistake is
that they forget those beliefs made
their parents what they are"
I'VE have freedom only in the
law-not without it. No one is free
from the real law Of life. The law
breaks us. Freedom comes through
fidelity to the highest law" he told
