 ROOSEVELT EXPLAINS
 You wouldn't think it, but ac- cording to the President he has had trouble getting personal pa tronage himself. In fact as he ex- plained it to Representative Tom Flaherty of Massachusetts the other day, he was flatly turned down on a post office building.
 Flaherty, an old friend and strong supporter, called on Roose- welt to discuss plans for a new veterans hospital near Boston Diff ficulty had arisen over the site because large naval hospital all ready existed at nearby Chelsea, and there was objection to placing two service hospitals 50 close to- gether.
 T can see that the site is of paramount importance" the Presi- dent agreed. Great care must be exercised to locate such institn- tions where there is definite need for them and where they will do the most public good z
 Then, leaning back in his char. he grinned and told Flaherty he could sympathize with him as he too had had patronage trouble. He had tried to get post office for Hyde Park, N. Y.. but with little success.

Diphtheria A Disgrace
Say Physicians.

If the grandmothers of this gener-
alton had been told on good authority
that an easy and safe method of
preventing one of the most dreadful
of all disease menaces would be avail
able to their grandchildren, they would
hardly understand how even one child
could have been allowed to die of
diphtheria in 1889.
The fact that there are still a few
cases and deaths each year is re-
garded by the Minnesota State Medical
associations committee on public health
education as a disgrace that could and
should be removed from Minnesota.
"Diphtheria is most dangerous and
most prevalent among young children
under five years DID," according to the
doctors. These children can be COM
pletely protected by immunization with
toxoid during the first year of life.
IF they have not been immunized as
babies, then most certainly they should
be immunized at whatever age they
may be even if the protection has been
neglected until late school years." the
doctors say
"Immunization with toxoid can be
done with complete safety and with a

minimum of discomfort before the
end of the first year of life The
danger of sudden death from suffoca-
ton following an acute sore throat
which was so common during mailig-
nant outbreaks of the disease 20 years
ago is then entirely eliminated. If the
child is checked again when he goes
to school and re-immunized in case he
has again become slightly susceptible,
he is protected for life.
On the basis of State Board Of
Health records, the physicians estimate
that only about 381 ,572 children have
so far been protected against diphtheria
in Minnesota. This limited protection
has served to cut the death rate from
"a per 100000 population in 1925 to
0.3 in 1889; but not enough have been
protected to eliminate diphtheria al
together or to insure Minnesota against
future malignant outbreaks of the dis
ease.

10 ACRES OF
RICE PLANTED

Nineteen acres of wild rice were
planted last fall by Ranger Jack VAL
entine of the La Croix district, as part
of the U. S. forest services conserva-
ton program.
Nine acres were put in at the south
end of Second lake and 10 acres in
Angleworm. In all about $50 pounds
of seed were used.
Fourteen hundred and twenty pounds
of seed were harvested in the La Croix
district, about half of which was sent
to other points for planting.
In outlining the method used in
planting the seed, Ranger Valentine
said that the wild rice is placed in
burlap sacks and thrust deep into the
muck at the bottom of the lake. Here
it will stay until it terminates in the
spring.
This method keeps ducks from getting
to it and from being carried off by the
current. Planting was done in October.
Valentine says that water of about
foot and half in depth, and a bottom
muck of several feet in thickness is
ideal for growing rice.

Cloquet Man Asks Enforcement
of Politics from Minnesota
Conservation Group.

The tie-up Of the state conservation
commission with political parties was
hit in a statement issued by Hanford
F. Cox, Cloquet, chairman of the con-
servation committee of the Minnesota
Arrowhead association.
NJ Cox, who is also vice president
of the association, reiterated the stand
taken by his committee that the state
organization be divorced from politics,
that the merit system be used in
selecting personnel, and that long
range program be adopted to assist
in the sterilization of industries, en-
couragement of new enterprises and
encouragement of employment.
Failure Of the conservation commits
sion to lay out longtime plan has
delayed any definite results from its
program, the Cloquet man said.
In reply to the governors request
for suggestions to be turned over to
the commission, the committee headed
by Mr.. Cox submitted the following
recommendations:
Divorce the state conservation de-
partment from the realm Of politics
and operate it on business basis.
Requirements CT the merit system
should be such as to insure continuity
of appointment necessary to attract
qualified and efficient personnel.
The commissioner be a business man
and a qualified executive with per-
spective and a sense of proportion
necessary to re-establish confidence
determine broad policies and select
and control personnel to the end that
the policies adopted will be carried out
effectively and economically
Divisional heads should be selected
on basis of technical experience and
ability and be career men rather than
politicians, able executives and eX-
perts in their respective fields.

Are rye and sOybeans as satisfactory
for feeding to horses as oats would be?
If SO, how should they be fed?
Rye is a little higher in feeding
value than oats, but it is not salts
factory for horses because it becomes
rather pasty. and is apt to cause
digestive disturbances. furthermore, it
is unpalatable.
Soybeans have a feeding value much
the same as linseed Oil meal, being
high in protein and also containing
a considerable amount of fat. ConSe-
quently, only about one to two pounds
of soybeans can be fed successfully
with other grains.
If your rye and soybeans are Of good
quality, suggest that you sell them
and purchase oats in their place. II
the rye is not marketable, then you
could grind it up and mix it with
oats or corn and feed it satisfactorily
that way. Rye should not make up
more than about one-third of the grain
ration fed to horSes-A. L. Harvey,
animal husbandry division.
Is it true that tractor fuel-Oil con-
tains more power than gasoline?
A pound of gasoline contains more
power than a pound of fuel-oil, but
due to it's greater weight, a gallon of
fuel-oil contains more energy than a
gallon of gasoline. Most tractors will
deliver more power at the drawbar
from gallon of gasoline. Because OF
this, the design of your tractor, the
comparative cost of the two fuels and
convenience in starting must be the
basis for deciding which one you use
