Junior Women >
Have Lovely Porty

AS the holiday season approaches
each year members of the Junior
Woman's Club eagerly anticipate
their Christmas meeting and party
which is always one of the hiph
spots of the Club year. Last Tues
day night they met in the Com
munity Room to conduct the small
amount of business necessary. Do
nations to the Montana Children's
Home and tuberculosis Seal Sale
were voted. For monev-raisinp
purposes the Club membership was
divided into groups of eight and
each group is to use its ingenuity
between now and the big annual
dinner in February, to help the sad
ly depleted budget.
For the program and party Mrs.
W. E. Dexter Rraciously offered
her home and upon arrival, after
the business meeting, the club mem
bers found the spacious roonas beau
tifully decorated in Christmas
greens, lights, and a profusion of
candles. Everyone Immediately felt
Christmasy and quite in the mood
to enjoy the evening.
Mrs. Lee Harmon was chairman
of the evening with Mrs. Arley

Miss Mary Lennon, and Mrs. Will

No Conservation
Checks Paid Yet

The Pine county AGA office has
received several inquiries from farm
ers who wonder why they have not
been notified to sign their applica-
tons for 1941 AAA checks.
The office reports that to date nc
conservation checks have been re-
ceived by any farmer in Pine coun-
ty. About 80 per cent of the farm
ers have signed their applications
for payment, these being sent to the
county office from the state AAA
office
Immediately upon arrival, the
county office notifies those farmers
whose applications have been re-
ceived and meetings are held at
places wherever the number makes
it practicable. If the farmer has not
been instructed to attend sign-up
meeting it indicates that his appli-
cation has not as yet been received
from the state office.

Sandstone Or Moose
Lake To Get Plant

The site for the location of the new
central milk drying plant for the
north half of District 2, Land o.
Lakes, is expected to be made known
this week, according to word from
Lynn L. Getten of Minneapolis, pro-
duction manager of Land OLakes
Creameries, Inc. The two villages
being considered are Sandstone and
Moose Lake. Other villages in this
territory were eliminated as they
do not have ample and sufficient
waterworks or sewage disposal.
At meeting in Sandstone last
week Of creamery operators from the
north half of the district the ques-
ton of location of the milk diversion
plant was brought to vote with the
majority favoring Sandstone. The
final decision is being left to Land
OLakes.
Construction work is to be started
as soon as possible this winter so
that the plant will be ready to begin
operations in the spring. Financing
the project will be done through the
Bank for Cooperatives, using lend
lease funds.

Great music and song is not for the

demonstrated beyond doubt by the
crowds which attended the symphony
Friday and Saturday evenings of last
week. Not only bare-shouldered de-
butantes were there with top-hat es-
corts, but sales girls from city shops
and villages with their beaux; men
and women from factories and farms;
students from all over the state; ar
lists, writers and musicians, as well
as prominents from the professions
and diamond-tiarad society.
All gathered again for another in
comparable evening in music at
Northrop Auditorium on the campus
of the University of Minnesota.
To hear the worlds "voice of a
century,, Marian Anderson; Dimitri
Metropoulos, genius in music, and
the hundred artists of the symphony

sic, was an event such as elevates one
to the peaks of ecstacy.

Selling Permits
Will Take Over After Jan.
uary /; Fee Not to Ex-
coed $l2 Annually.

Cigarette dealers in Minnesota will
obtain their licenses at home after
January l, 1912, when authority for
issuing such licenses is to be trans
ferred from the department of taxa
ton to the governing bodies of cities
and villages in the state and to coun-
ty boards for townships and unor-
ganized villages. After that date Ii
censes for the sale of cigarettes are
to be obtained in the city or village
where the dealer conducts his busi-
ness; in townships and unorganized
villages, licenses may be issued by
the county board
May Prescribe Regulations.
City and village councils may liz
cense and prescribe regulations for
the sale of cigarettes and provide
punishment for violations of such
regulations. County boards may make
similar provisions for licensing and
regulating the sale of cigarettes in
areas outside the limits of municipali-
ties, provided that no license shall be
issued for the conduct of such busi-
ness in any town unless the applica-
ton is approved by the governing
body of such town. License fees
shall not exceed SIP per annum and
will expire December 81 each year.
Licenses for the sale of cigarettes
by any railroad, dining car company
or sleeping car company or common
carrier will be issued by the dairy
and food commissioner. Blind per-
sons are not required to pay fee
for cigarette licenses.
Only One Fee.
The 1871 legislative act does not
repeal the law prohibiting the sale
of cigarettes to persons below 10
years of age, nor revoke the penalty
for smoking cigarettes by persons
of that age.
Inquiries received by G. Howard
Spaeth, commissioner of Taxation,
indicate there is general misunder-
standing as to the licensing of cigar
cite dealers under the new law, many
believing a double fee will be i'm
posed beginning January l, 1912. The
only license fee to be collected, how
ever, is that paid locally and at the
time and place the license is issued.
Dealers will avoid confusion and
delay by applying to their local gov
erning body for their 1912 licenses
and not send applications to the de-
partment of Taxation as formerly, as
applications so received must be re-
turned. During 1941 there have been
issued 1876 cigarette licenses to
dealers in Minnesota.

genius could instill her sure knowl.
edge of vocal power. In the singing
of her races songs, the spirituals
she quickened into a veritable god

deeps, with unearthly compassion
she sang the songs of her people,
songs forged in the inferno of slavery
songs that have contributed most
to Americas music.
Wonderful beyond words, and a
lifetime experience for the nearer
was her magnificent singing of the
aria, "Ariadne's Lament. In this
she had the inspired collaboration of
Dimitri Metropoulos. This blending
OF conductorial and soloistic genius
was an exaltation. This listener has
never heard it surpassed. The poig-
