WPA rolls on April 10 were $500 in
the northern district comprising st
Louis, Cook, Carlton, Pine, Itasca
Kanabec, Aitkin and Mile Laos
counties, according to A. T. Gilbertson
Duluth, district manager. This is the
lowest it has ever been and represents
a drop from 5000 in February, &C
complished largely according to the
manager through private reemploy-
ment, compensation benefits and the
18-month layoff rule. He predicted a
II per cent reduction in the May

Conservation Dept. Says That
Animals are Doing Great
Damage to Crops.

A new deer problem" in central
and southern Minnesota counties came
before the department of conservation
this week amid mounting crop damage
claims by farmers.
Typical of complaints coming into
the department every day was that OF
a farmer near Glenwood, Pope county
an area without deer as recently as
10 years ago.
THE deer have eaten up big share
of the is acres of corn had to leave
in the field after the storm last fall, !"
the farmer wrote. Il had to feed my
oats to my pigs and planned to use
this corn to buy seed this spring and
now I am up against it."
It wonder if the conservation depart
ment can't make some adjustment
can't see why I should have to keep
these deer. I should have at least
500 for the damage. I am just a
poor tenant farmer and can't afford
to feed deer"
To all complaints the department.
has replied that no funds for damage
claims are available. The deer COM
plants, many from farmers who are
indignant over the damage, have formed
a bullying file in department offices.
Solution proposed by department Of
ficials is some form Of hunting control
over the animals. Little hope Is held
for an immediate remedy, however
since the next open season year is
1912. BY that time the deer will have
twice had their young-aggrevating the
problem, officials said.
Deer herds of up to 40 animal:
have been noted in Pope county. The
game warden at Big Lake (Sherburne
county, reported 81 deer in one groul
and has 20 farmers damage com.

and smooth lead-gray berries. Poi
son sumac can be told from the in

MORRIS, LECRAND
STUDY PAY PLAN
Proposal Would Permit
County Commission To
Fix Salaries

RALEIGH, Feb. 13.-John Nor
rix and Jack LeGrand are study
ing a proposal made by the NE"
Hanover county board OF county
commissioners that it be given the
mower to fix the salaries OF all
county officials.
The New Hanover commlssoh-
ers. of course, were seeking that
authority only for themselves and
neither Mr.. Morris nor MI. Le-
Grand has determined what his
attitude toward it will be; but both
were sufficiently impressed with
its POSSIBILITIES to be giving it con-
sideration not solely as a local
bill. bbut as possible statewide
measure.
So many different factors enter
into the equation that neither IS
ready to announce unequivocally
his support for the plan, even as
a local law for his county; but
Mr.. LeGrand, in particular, was
impressed by the reasons ad-
vanced by the board in its request
for the bill.
Briefly the commissioners point
out in a resolution unanimously
adopted that the county board is
charged with the full and complete
responsibility of raising revenue to
meet all the expenses of their unit.
From this they argue that the
same board ought, of right, to
have the power to say what shall
be the obligations to be met. The
right to say what the expenditures
shall be, they believe, should flow
from the duty to provide money
to meet these expenditures.
Immediate reason for the
boards action was the fact that
certain New Hanover officers are
seeking salary increases, which at
present can be accomplished only
through legislative action. 3

The Rreost Stroke

Next is the breast stroke, which is
direct frontal attack that gives you
full view of the water, but keeps your
face out of it. For an exercise to de-
velop or firm the large muscles under
lying the breasts, or to dissolve fatty
deposits on the upper part of the
body, there is none better than this
forward-thrusting, downward-pulling,
and elbow-bending OF your arms. For
slmming down hips and legs, also,
you have here an ideal exercise in the
quick, vigorous kicks that are re-
quired. The combined arm and leg
movements give stretch and move
ment to the entire body, and leave
little to be desired in the way of
midriff flattener.
The last, the speediest, the most
popular, and the most desirable
stroke, from the standpoint of all
around beauty benefits, is the crawl.
This stroke is also a frontal attack on
the water, but in this case your face is
submerged part of the time That calls
for good breath control and good
body-timing - both real assets in the
beauty count. Moreover, as you come
up for air, you turn your head to the
side, an exercise that does nice things
for either a scrawny or a too-plump
neck. The speedy, well-synchronized
movements of arms and legs stretch
and pull the musculature of the body
with well-organlzed vigor, giving you
an all-over workout, which makes for
long, 1.-THE lines and puts curves in the
proper places.
Evening star., 1941-06-01
For BEAUTY Swim!

First, there is the back stroke,
which, because it allows you partially
to float and partially to swim on your
back. with your face. averted from the
water. is good choice for the ner-
vous or timid. 1t will give you both
recreation and exercise until fear is
overcome, and it will show benefits in
chest development. In this stroke,
your arms reach above the head level
and move pectoral muscles with
steady pull and tug.
Next is the side stroke, with its
full, free-swinging arm movements
and the advantage of letting you keep
your face above water. The stroke it
self has special value for toning and
developing the shoulder muscles. 1t
brings improvement in the upper part
of the body. for either the angular or
the over-developed figure At the same
time your legs are doing scissors
movement - the same exercise that
you take on mat to slim down hips
and thighs. But if you elect this side
stroke, remember that you must swim
as often on one side as you do the
other. Otherwise, you get one sided
benefits.
