EVENING SEWING
CLASS ANNOUNCED
Open To Those Between
Ages of 16 and 81, Said
Miss Carey, Of Local School

An evening class in sewing spon-
sored by the home economics de-
partment was announced for those
between the ages Of 16 and Fl by
Miss Bernice Carey, head of the de-
partment.
All those between those ages are
cordially invited to come, Miss Car.
ey announced after a first meeting
had been held Tuesday evening. The
class will meet twice a week in the
new home economics department in
the senior high building. The room
number is 302.
Miss Carey has chosen this age
group because there has been more
interest shown in that age bracket
for sewing classes. It's possible,
she believes, that other classes
might be arranged for older groups

shod down field, and Sank Centre
hit in the clinches when it hurt the
most.
Playing against time in this Sec
ond quarter, Sank Centre was push
ed back and back but they held to
q defensive thread that saved them.
On an early exchange of punts,
Cooper gained yardage. On the
Melrose punt down to twenty Rattle
handled it nicely for an eight yard
run back. Then moving in they
shunted Melrose way back to it's
own 38 yard line. With ends Arne-
son and Reinardy stopping two
plays without gain, Eichers COM
pleted a long pass to Schurmann
who moved to the Sank Centre %.
Veneer and Berggreen moved into
to stop the play for loss, but God
frey made it a first with a ten yard
gain. Schanhaar got five yards to
the ten yard line where a passing
attack folded as the half ended.
Two men for Sank Centre went
out in that first half with injured
legs. End Hoot Reinardy and full
back Eddie Kurrell both came back
to play some good ball. Notables
on defensive work for Sank Centre
were center Berggreen, captain and
tackle Ray Moore, ends Reinardy
and Arneson, guard Botz, and the
entire line. The whole club battled
for this game but with only a de-
fensive strain running strong, it
couldn't-or didn't-last.

Tuesday evenings meeting was
well attended, she said. If there are
others interested in joining the

group, there is still room for a few
more. No enrolment is necessary
to participate in the program, she
announced.
The class will meet again this

stated that so points are allowed
for actual judging and so points
are for reasons given in placing
various dairy cows.
Winner of two state champion
ships with his All AYRSHIRE dairy
calves, 1888 and 1889, Conrad told
of his interest in All. He had been
a member of the All since he was
eleven years old, and has won many

IS TRAFFIC DEATHS
In OCTOBER

Sixty-five deaths en- Minnesota
steets and highways in October,
five more than were killed in the
same month of 1888, delivered a
disappointing blow to Minnesota's
steadily advancing traffic safety
program.
October deaths showed an in
crease of $3.50 over the correspcn-
ding month Of last year, w. F. Ros-
enwald, head of the Highway De-
partment Safety division, reported
this week to M. J. Hoffman,, state
highway commissioner.
Despite this one-mcnth increase
in fatalities, however, the Highway
department has recorded a de-
crease of 1870 for the first ten
months of this year as compared to
last, and a resultant saving of SO
lives. Taffic deaths for the ten
months were 433 as compared to
492 fer the same period in 1888
Only one other month this year,
the month of May when 81 persons
were killed as compared to Al dur
ing May of 1888, failed to show a
decrease in traffic fatalities.
Experts of the traffic accident
reporting bureau of the Safety
division received consolation, how
ever, from the fact that although
October deaths exceeded those Of a
year ago, they still represent a
decided decrease from the average
for the previous three years.
Deaths during this month for the
three priors prior to 1888 were: "a in
1885, and 80 for each year CT 1886
and 1897. Therefore, October's
death rate on a basis of motor veh-
icle miles travelled is 1871 this year
as compared to 1853 for the three
years prior to 1888.
Traffic deaths for the first ten
months Of the year were at the rate
of 90 per 100000 gallons of gas
oline consumed as compared to a
rate Of 11.3 for the first ten months
of 1888 and 1913 average for the
previous three years.

Already Bearing Fruit

The new neutrality law had been
in effect less than a week when it
was announced that the United
States Lines had made application
to the Maritime Commission to
transfer nine of it's vessels to Pan
anna registry so they could continue
carrying war materials to Europe.
If the application is approved these
nine boats, which were built with
American money, will be manned
by Panamanians. Word comes from
New York that ten thousand sea-
men will march to Washington in
protest if aliens get their jobs on
the nine U. S. liners.
There are so many unforeseen an
giles to the entire neutrality ques-
ton that it may be expected that
a great many complication will
arise in the administration Of the
new law.
This government has spent hun
dreds of millions of dollars in fos-
tering an American merchant mar
inc, which was to be an adjunct
to our navy, and here we have an
instance where it Is proposed to
transfer rs or 100 thousand tons
to foreign flag. 1t is generally

WINTER TOUGH ON FRUIT
TREES-WHAT TO Do

Cold weather, hot sun, strong
winds are but some Of the difficult
ties that Minnesota's fruit trees
struggle against during the winter,
says Eldred M. Hunt, extension
horticulturist, University Farm, st.
Paul. In addition, there Is danger
of injury from rabbits and mice.
To guard against injury to roots
from too little snow covering, put
on q 6 or 8-inch straw mulch in a
broad circle underneath the tree,
but a foot or two away from the
trunk so that mice won't be at
tracted. Damage by mice can be
controlled, says Hunt, by carefully
fitting the tree trunk with wire
guards reaching up 8 toto inches
above the ground. Or, mound up
the soil around the trunk where 1t
will freeze and protect the tree
from injury.
For protection against rabbits as
we'll as small rodents, use wire
cylindrical guards of ordinary win
dow screening reaching from the
soil to the first branches, or a more
permanent guard made of one
fourth inch mesh galvanized screen
For large orchards, poison bait
made with arsenic is most prac-
teal, but it usually is necessary to
obtain a permit from the state con-
servation department. For informa-
ton and directions, write the en-
tomology division, University
Farm.
Sunscald, another winter hazard
is controlled best by wrapping the
trunks with burlap, heavy wrap
ping paper, or building paper in
November. Never use tarred paper
says Hunt. 1t may contain poison
Gus oils that will injure the trees,

REPORT SHOWS
WAGE SOURCES
In THIS COUNTY
Study Of State Records Dis
closes Size of PayrOlls and
Affords Index to Business

Comprehensive information has
Just been made public in a new
report by the Minnesota Resources
Commission showing the amount
of wages and salaries paid by en-
ployers in this county in 1888 as
measured by their reports to the
state under the Minnesota Unem-
ployment Compensation Law.
The report shows in detail. the
main sources from which these sal
aries and wages come and affords
a good indication of the wages paid
out by the various industries and
types of business, not only here,
but in all other counties of the
state. Agriculture, public and do
nestle service are not included in
the tabulations made, since these
groups are not covered by the
unemployment compensation law,
but the income from these services
show up to some extent in other
groups.
The total payroll reported by all
employers in this county for 1888
was $685., $40.
OF this payroll, the following
amounts came from five important
groups of business:
Manufacturing ......... 81 ,931.451
Mining and Quarrying :. 648,28o
Transportation ......... 65,785
Trade ................. l,ioo,oio
Services ................. 629,959
The rest came from utilities,
construction and other miscellean-
Gus types of business.
The study was made for the
Minnesota Resources Commission
by ROLAND F. Hatfield, assistant
professor Of st. Thomas College,
as part of the work of the comm
ission, prepared with assistance of
the WPA.
One of the interesting disclosures
from the study was the revelation
that manufacturing is the most
important industry in Sc many of
the rural counties of the state and
furnishes a big proportion of the
salaries and wages in many other
counties. In nineteen counties of
the state, the report shows, man.
ufacturing is the main source CT
wages and salaries and in some
twenty others it furnishes more
than a fifth of the income. OF the
total payroll of $514, 109,086 reported
by all employers covered by the
Minnesota unemployment compen.
sation act in 1898, manufacturing
contributed $152, 500, 757, of 1870.
The Minnesota Resources Comm
ission was appointed this year by
Governor Harold e. Stassen to take
ever the work of the old state plan
ming board and carry on an enlarg-
ed program designated to promote
the development of jobs and in
come thru development of new res
ources. Working with local groups
throughout the state, Herbert j.
Miller, executive Secretary Of the
Commission is now exploring poss.
Utilities for new enterprises that
will provide additional jobs tor
Minnesota workers. The report
just published will furnish a use
full background for these efforts.

since the origin of the Drivers Lii
cense bureau. Outright revelations

with 125 revocations in October OF

One hundred and eighty-five of
the revocations were for driving a

times and landed right side up.
Miraculously, the driver was UNI
injured, with not even a scratch to
show for his experience.
