Good Posture to be
Stressed by Physicians.

Standing on your own feet is always
advisable, according to the Minnesota
State Medical association, but some
times it is very painful and the doctors
accordingly announce feet and posture
as the subject for their May campaign
Of public education in Minnesota.
Recognizing the Importance to gen.
eral health of good feet and proper
body balance, the doctors will devote
an entire month, it was announced, to
dissemination of information about care
of the feet and also about proper shoes
and how to stand in them.
Special radio talks, special bulletins
to newspapers will be issued on the sub
ject and speakers will be available at
association headquarters, 493 Lowry
Medical Arts, st. Paul, for any organi-
zation or club who request them, it was
announced today.
Good feet and good posture are
essential to enjoying life and they are
also essential to health" the doctors
point out in this announcement
People whose feet trouble them are
not likely to get the physical exercise
they need to keep up muscle tone and
keep down excess weight. Neither are
they likely to stand and walk with the
proper balance that keeps internal or

BOY SCOUT
Organization Explained

CThis is the last in series of articles
on the Boy Scout organization.
For the promotion of the BY Scout
movement for communities in the
Headwaters Area council, the annual
finance campaigns will be held in most
of the districts during the month of
May. In this joint effort staged by the
13 districts Of the council each dis
trict will endeavor to raise 4 pro-
portionate share Of the council budget
depending on its population.
The campaign in each district will
be under the leadership Of a local
chairman or committee assisted by
public spirited citizens representing
various organizations in the community
Experience has shown during the past
that this plan of operation under colu-
Gil organization is the cheapest way
of promoting Scouting. Communities
formerly having a council Of their own
are now cntributing great deal less
for Scouting operations and yet have
just as much Scouting as they had III
the earlier days on the range.
1t is the principle of Scouting that
the Scouts earn their own way toward
their Scouting expenses, and that
troops also support themselves through
various efforts. The affliation with the
local and national organizations and
the support of the program to main
tain the organization which provides
many necessary services to the troops
is financed through public support
voluntarily given. During the month
of May most of the districts in the
council will stage their annual appeals.
Owing to the fact that surveys have
shown that from go to 90 per cent of
the boys not Scouts want to be, there
is a definite need for increase in the
size of individual contributions in order
that the troop leaders and district COM
mittees may not be handicapped in
their work.
Local citizens are being called upon
by B. o. Strachan, district chairman,
to share in the good work being done
by many volunteers who are willing to
devote their time and effort to the
youth of their communities, and who
are now calling upon the general public
to make it possible for them to con-
tinue their work on behalf Of boys.

Artificial Propagation
of Grouse is Conducted.

Experimental work with the artificial
propagation of native Minnesota up
land game intensified this week when
"a pairs of sharp-tailed and pinnated
grouse were received at the Madelia
game farm as the result of trade with
the Province of Manitoba.
In exchange the game farm will
send $4,000 Chukar partridge eggs to
Manitoba.
1t is the hope of Frank Blair, super
intendent of game propagation and re-
fuges, that eggs Matched at the farm
will supplement natural production.
'The entire object of artificial pro-
pagation is to increase egg production, -
said Blair He said that in wild state
quail produce IA to 16 eggs per female
bird, while artificial production is
stepped up to 145 eggs per season.
Sharp-tailed grouse is a species OF
prairie chicken that lived more in
wooded sections than meadow lands
They made good hunting and news OF
their propagation will he of interest tc

the village were called together al
the town hall for the purpose of or

was well attended and the effort tx
secure protection to the property
owners of the village met with en-
couraging results. At the time, forest
fires consumed many buildings on the
outskirts and jeopardized the safety o.
the whole village, and no action wa
needed by the fire department to gel
men to fight the fires. Since then tht
village has suffered very little from
fires and the handful Of men, thai
spoil their clothing and endure dis
comfort, besides laboring for the bene'
fit of those who desire protection bu
who lend no assistance, have decided tC
shift the burden and if the property
owners want protection, let them either
volunteer their services at every firt
