creeping jenny, leafy spurge, and
Canada thistles are taking heavy
toll on farm income and likewise
represent continual menace to
other farms reasonably free from
weeds at the present time. Weed
control now has come to be COM
munity action affair and unless al
most all farmers in given area
cooperate in weed control work, all
determination measures will be bad

The grasshopper control program
in Stearns county will get under
way with a meeting Of the town
ship officers and committeeman for
the various townships on Friday
evening, April IL, at Albany. AT
this time these various officers will
meet to lay the groundwork for
the program in 1910. T. L. Aamodt
Of the state office, will assist in
laying the plans for the work In
the area. The meeting has been
called by the county agricultural
agent and anyone interested in the
work may attend although town
ship officers and committeeman are
especially urged to be present. The
meeting will be held in the com

to groups in order to present their
plays in local communities. The
groups will be made up Of approx
mately three clubs apiece. The three
clubs will cooperate in putting on
the three one-act plays in each OF
the three local communities. It is
felt by the Stearns county leaders
council that this arrangement gives
the participating All members
more Of an opportunity to present
their plays and get practice and
experience from doing so. In addi-
ton to putting on the plays each
club is preparing an in-between
number to be presented between
the one-act plays. This in-between
number will be either dancing, sing.
ing, playing Of musical instruments
or whistling. In past years there
has been music contest but since
the one-act plays are on a non
competitive basis, the musical num-
bers will also be on that basis this
year. There will be further an
nouncements in local papers per-
tanning to the time and place for
the presentation Of these one-act
plays and extra novelty numbers.

AS q further precaution against
the possibility Of infection from
some source that may have escap-

advisable to use q good drinking
water medicine right from the first

that will inhibit the growth and

work in the digestive tract.
Excessive dryness is apt to pre-
vail, especially in a well built brood

Hopkins Aides
Name Sent to
Senate

President Roosevelt today sent to
the Senate the nomination Of AS
sistant Secretary OF Commerce J.
Monroe Johnson to be a member OF
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
A native of South Carolina and a
civil engineer by profession, Col
johnson has been Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce since 1895. In
that post he has had jurisdiction
over the Bureau of Standards, the
Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Bu-
reau Of Marine Inspection and Navi-
cation and the Inland Waterways
Corp.
On the I. G. c. he will fill the
unexpired term Of Marion M. Caskie
of Alabama, recently resigned. This
term expires on December 81, 194l.
Pressure From South.
COL Johnson's appointment to the
transport regulatory body follows
considerable pressure on the Presi-
dent to replace Mr.. Caskie with an
other Southerner. presumably one
who has a sympathetic understand
ing of the freight differential prom
lem against which Southern ship
pers have complained for many
years.
The nominee lunched with Mr.
Roosevelt at the White House or
Tuesday, at which time, it was
learned, the President was impressed
by Col. Johnsons familiarity with
the whole transportation picture.
The nomination was offered al
that time and Col. johnson tele.
phoned his acceptance yesterday.
Chance for Appeasement.
While there may be no immediate
connection, departure of Col. John
son from the Commerce Depart.
ment will leave vacant an assistant
secretaryship that might be filled
by an appointee favored by the
air transport industry. Such a de-
velopment, in turn, might serve to
temper some Of the bitter opposition
currently being directed at the Pres
ident's proposal to move the Civil
Aeronautics Authority into the ju-
risdiction Of the Commerce De-
partment.

that the Civil Aeronautics Authority

favored passage of the LOgan-Wal-

for appropriate tests of the exercise

Americas younger business and
professional men do not require a
blind optimism to have faith and
confidence" in the future Of the
United States, Philip c. Ebeling,
Dayton, Ohio, past president Of the
United States Junior Chamber of
Commerce, declared in another ad-
dress today.
The younger generation feels, he
said, there Is much on which to base
q sound, reasonable faith and con-
fidence.

tenders than at any time in recent

Mr.. Ebeling declared that because

go hand in hand with political
liberty" the Government sponsored
old age pensions, unemployment

relations, elimination of fraudulent

State Rights Defended.
State rights. The principle that
rights not specifically granted to the
Federal Government are reserved to
the States "has been increasingly
infringed by Federal encroachment
In almost every field" This is a
source of continually increasing
and wasteful Federal expenditure. ="
Reclamation. It approved projects
where the AREAS reclaimed can use
or dispose of their products in a de-
pendable way and where costs are
low enough that they can be repaid
by people directly benefited.
Forestry. THE undertaking by
the forest industries to establish
q system Of commercial forestry
on privately owned forest land
throughout the Nation should be
actively supported by Federal and
State governments in affording ade-
quate fire prevention equitable tax
systems ., protection against
forest diseases and pests, and en-
couragement to the development OF
sustained yield units"
Petroleum. GENERALIZATION in the
Federal Government of control over
petroleum production would inter-
fere with the development of State
measures. and with correlation of
State action through interstate COM
pacts to conserve" this natural re-
source. Slowness of some States to
cooperate in conserving petroleum
Should not be permitted to obscure
the accomplishments of the States
and their determination to solve
the problem through their own ef-
forts"
Public Health as Local Function.
Public health. Provision and
maintenance of facilities for i'm
provement of public health are local
functions and should be kept So
Grants in aid encourage extrava-
gance and Go not provide efficiency
and public service" In no event
should the grants be made without
the approval Of local agencies and
the local medical profession after
adequate surveys.
Housing. Publicly subsidized
housing has created many difncult
economic and social problems. Its
benefits have not justified its cost,
Public subsidies for housing impose
public burdens long after needs have
passed. Local subsidies that are
warranted should be provided for
families on the basis of other forms
OF relief, in order that they may
cease when assistance is no longer
required" The most urgent and
immediate opportunity to improve
housing for the lowest income fami-
lies is enforcement of local sanitary
and housing legislation in providing
adequate repairs and demolishing
houses beyond repair.
