g. The last financial statement
of the Association shows that big
balance is communicating. Soon
as they have built an adequate re-

ENOUGH TO LIVE
BY Banning
ella and Vincent were married
on love and forty dollars a week
which, properly budgeted, ella ar
gued was enough to live on" So
it might have been but for a bit
of luxury here, a frivolous moment
there, and a baby, which added to-
gether, played ducks and brakes
with their neat rows Of figures.
They were to discover later more
over, that marriage presents GER
tain difficulties that defy budgeting,
such as pride and the demanding
affection of parents. Happiness isn't
a design on paper, but a product,
hard-earned, of sacrifice and COM
promise and unremitting love.
In ella and Vincent untold num-
bers of young Americans can recog-
niZe themselves - their emotions
and doubts and persistent search
for satisfactions that constantly
elude the grasp. 1t is this under
standing of the universal factors
in our modern life that gives Mrs.
Banning's Stories and characters
their heart-warming appeal.

Excerpts From The Herald of

Items Of Twenty Years Ago

Under the federal census for
1920, the returns give Sank Centre
a population of 2699, making this
city the second largest in the
county, with an increase over ten
years of 545.
The city's tax budget completed
this week shows an increase of
$3.50 over last years assessment.
The increase is in the budget for
water maintenance and in the gem
eral fund.
Four boys Of Stearns County
were made happy, because four
very fine gifts were purchased by
the Stearns County Agricultural
Society for the boys pig project.
One o. /. C. and three Durocs were
purchased. The boys who received

Dear Sir:
Doctor Hospital-Big Bills-the
bane of Rural Life!
Now, your Community is con-
templating a Community hospital
A few years ago that would have
been bad. Community hospitals
never could make ends meet. Every
year there was deficit. But, since
the Minnesota Hospital Association
came into existence-even that pos
sibility is eliminated.
am a member of the Minnesota
Hospital Association. I pay 75c a
month dues. An entire family can
join for $1.00 per month for the
whole family. But then they get
" of what the 75c per person, per
month, receives. If I get sick I can
go to the hospital and the associa-
ton will pay to the hospital for
me the following: This. is from
my policy.
L. Board and room to the
amount of $3.50 day-for 81 days.
b. Operating room services in
Guiding anaesthesia.
CO. All drugs and $500 for SER
ums and other such extras.
d. All surgical dressings.
e.) Laboratory tests-not to ex-
coed $500.
f. X-ray pictures not to exceed
$500.
g. Other extras like theraphy,
carbon dioxide ct al, not to ex-
coed $500.
And all this I would get for 75c
a month.
If I did not use or need this
service the first year by the second
year my allowance for room and
board is doubled. That is I would
be allowed AZ days and not only
81 days.
When the baby is expected the
family need not dig so deep either.
Since mother can go to the hos
pital (after she is a member 10
months) and have her baby at one
half the usual cost in that district.
Do you realize what this means?
~ Now, we need not dread go
ing to the ospital-because we
have not got the cash-or, where
could we get the required money?
2) So, when grave illness or opera
ton is necessary we will go sooner
and quicker to the hospital.
81 Therefore, the hospital will be
more in demand all the time. Ex-
perience has shown that in the
communities where most of the
people now belong to this associa-
ton the hospitals are busy most
Of the time. In fact some, since
this, are full all the time.
A. Even as the people need not
worry about paying the hospital
costs-so, the hospital does not
have to worry either. AS soon as
the patient leaves they forward the
bill to the Association-and get
their check.
81 These points show then, that
a Community Hospital can now
serve its purpose to the full-be

Incomprehensible Says Witness

"A monumental specimen of statutory incom-
prehensibilty' is what witness testifying be-
fore the Senate Finance Committee, said Of the
excess-profits bill.
A sample paragraph from the bill will give some
idea of what the gentleman in question referring
to when he made that statement. 1t is as follows
"(g) Depreciation Deduction-If the adjusted
basis of the emergency facility computed without
regard to subsection CD of this section is in
of the adjusted basis computed under such sub
section, the deduction provided by section % a.
SHALL despite the provisions of subsection (a) of this
section, be allowed with respect to such emergency
facility as if it's adjusted basis amount equal
to the amount of such excess"
1t seems to us that those who draft some of
these bills gifted with a positive genius for
making laws complicated in their language to
be almost impossible to understand.
The paragraph referred to above is only one
little section of very long bill which is full of
similarly involved language. 1t will be the law
der which manufacturers engaged in producing
equipment and supplies for national defense must
operate.
We hope that they won't have to stop to figure
it all out before they get started in the building
of new emergency facilities" there may be
another emergency" to overcome before work on
the present can be gotten underway.

A few weeks ago we published an item that had
been rumored about the city. We published it with
out confirmation, gave it to you for what it was
worth. 1t had to do with a certain yarn of
British children of sister of DIR. T. E. Walsh of
ST. Louis-Mrs Walsh is the former Octavia McNam-

children would be sent to the Walsh home here for
safety. We checked with Mrs. William Otto

WHY STAY ON THE SAME
HORSE, AND GET NO Place.

AS to swapping horses In mid
stream, there is much to be said
on each side of the question. Mid
stream is not good spot for a
horse trade. There are too few
horses to choose from. But if the
horse I was riding had been seven
years on the way and was still
in the middle and the current was
getting deeper and if a better and
fresher horse waded alongside, I
believe I would take a chance. AZ
ter all, there Is no sense in staying
on a horse that does not get any
where in nearly eight years.-Los

A New Crop Record Heralded-

Increase in the production of soybeans has been
phenomenal and most notable development in
agriculture. For the first time this year the soy
bean acreage exceeds 10 million acres, which is an
increase of IA percent that of 1889.
Nearly 80 percent of the soybeans crushed now
go into stock feeds in the form Of soybean oil meal
the demand for which has kept pace with increased
production. This demand is due to it's superior
qualities a protein ingredient for feeds for all
livestock. well poultry, according to longtime
experiment station tests.
Soybean acreage in this community also has
been greatly increased because of the realization
its food value. One leading expert recently said
"Soybean oil meal is the most highly digestble
protein supplement obtainable it is more palatable
and produces faster gains than Others and is general
ly more economical"
1t is estimated that production of soybeans this
year will exceed 80 million bushels.
