met informally with the city council
evening to discuss securing property
from the city for the construction of a
seaplane base on Shagawa lake.
Construction of the base for the plane
which serves the entire Superior Ma
tional Forest, would mean that it would
be permanently stationed at Ely. II
was first put into use here two years
ago this. fall, and is piloted by Merle
Moltrup, veteran airmail flyer, from

attention of the council when it wen

sidewalk and waterline construction
and extension of the whiteway were
considered. Hearings on the sidewalk
curb and gutter work, described in de-
tail elsewhere in this issue, will be con
Quoted at the next meeting.
George Holiday appeared in favor O
the waterline, which is contemplated
for Finn Hill. The project was peti
toned for at recent melting by {
group of property owners, who als'
asked for a fire hydrant in view of tn
close proximity of gasoline storag
tanks to their homes.
The council voted to include it il
next years WPA work for the sewe

Without doubt Hitler would like to
get between one and two billion dollars
worth of gold which was deposited by
France with our government for safe
keeping. He thinks the puppet French
government he recently set up is en-
titled to this money. "Well, he has
another guess coming" says Coughlin
in his Waseca Herald. "The govern
ment which turned this money over to
us, happens to owe us several billion
dollars, consequently We have the first
claim on it, and the only way Hitler
will ever get it will be over our dead
bodies"

1 have some flax that was damaged
by rains before threshing. Can I feed
it?
1t is best to use extreme caution in
feeding damaged flax. If the seed is
merely rough, but mature and dry, it
may be ground and fed with good re-
suits in amounts not to exceed per
cent of the grain ration. But if there
is much immature or sprouted seed, or
if there has been mold, better steer
clear of it because poison may be
present. If you are tempted to feed
the damaged flax, try it on test ami
NAL first rather than risk the whole
herd.-W H. Peters, animal husbandry
L would like information on using
bOric acid or regular canning powders
in canning corn and string beans. VIII
the acid prevent spoilage and is it safe
to use?
Neither boric acid nor canning
powder" is safe for use in canning.
First, they may be injurious to the
health. Secondly, they do not act as
preservatives as far as botulinus bac-
terra are concerned. Since they do not
destroy these bacteria, and the products
in which they are used may be under
cooked, there is danger of botulinus
poisoning from any non-acid vegetable
in which they are used. The only safe
method for canning non-acid vegetables
or meats is by steam pressure cooker or
pressure canner which gives a temper
ature high enough to destroy the bac-
terra without the use of harmful acids.
Eva Blair, nutrition specialist.
Do you make it practice to inspect
oil at University Farm?
| No, we do not make tests of COM
mercial petroleum oils. This work is
carried out by the oil inspection labor
atories in the State Office Building, St
Paul, MINI. Our latest information is
that they need at least pint of oil and
have their own system of fees for the
work.. B. Torrance, engineering.
When using the cooker well of a gas
or electric range, can the inset pan be
removed to make more room for
baking?
This question should be answered by
the manufacturer of your range. Most
manufacturers recommend that this
should not be done. In any case, if
the inset pan were not used, the well
would be extremely hard to clean.-Ina
B. Rowe, extension nutritionist.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

Hibbing Tribune-There is one after
math of the state Legion convention
that should make every serviceman feel
proud.
That was the behavior of the veter-
ans who came here from every part
of the state, enjoyed themselves thor
oughly but still displayel a respect for
their host city which won them the
admiration of even the few critics who
painted exaggerated pictures before the
convention opened.
Manager Roy Quigley of the An
droy hotel; Bruce MiddlemisS Of the
tourist court; Chief of Police Chester
Naeseth; Traffic Chief Fred Odegard;
Business Manager Louis HeaSley OF the
Elks lodge, and owners of rooms and
hotels were loud in their praises of
the behavior of the veterans.
The damage done was so small as
to be inconsequential and police rec
ords show few cases of violations. The
little trouble that occurred was due
to 'punks'' as Chief Chester Naeseth
put it, these penny ante local camp
followers" vino were making a show
! for themselves without using any great
amount of Judgment. Even their tao
tics did not mar the celebration be-
cause they were picked up as soon as
they became boisterous.
The Tribune was right when it pre-
dicted the veterans, older in years ano
maturity, would not do anything which
would be considered disrespectful to
a community which made so many sim
cere efforts to be courteous and hos
pitable.
The servicemen proved themselve:
gentlemen.

Predicted
High D e m o C r a tic
Circles Declare Roose-
welt Has Made Up His
Mind to Run for Third
Term and Wants Hull
as Running Mate.

Washington, july 4.-iAP)-A
ROOSEVELT Hull ticket was forecast
today in high Democratic circles
which have become cUnl lnccd that
the President would accept a third
term nomination.
Although Mr.. Roosevelt has gwen
no public hint of his intentions, us
ually authoritative sources declared
that he has made up his mind and
that he wants Secretary Of State
Hull as the vice presidential noml-
nee.
Hull has been spoken Of frequent
" for first place on the Democratic
slate il the Chief Executive should
not run, but only recently has MS
name come to the fore IN N'"r n"o%'-
dental talk. He personally has held
aloof from political discussions and
may even be cnroutc TO the Pam
American conference when the Dem
o.ratic national convention IS IN
session.
Those who believe Mr.. Roosevelt
will break precedent and agree TO
carry his party standard once more
contend that he will DC imDcllcd by
the European crisis and American
defense needs. For that reason, they
picture Hull as l""ical running
mate since he is the cabinet member
handling foreign relations.
One small group has expressed the
opinion that the President might ac-
ccpt the nomination " Y the under
standing that if elected he would
serve only while an emergency exist
ed. In such a case the vice president
would step into his office.
Senator Wagner Of No"' York. who
will head the convention resolutions
committee, said he would have a
rough draft of 4 platform to take to
