Townsend Clubs
Meet Monday At
Hinckley Rally
Editor of National Organ
Addresses Gathering at
Royal Neighbors Hall.

The establishment of a free Amer
lean system with secure economic
structure as the result of an abund-
ance of purchasing power and the
employment of all available workers
below the retirement age were listed
as vital points in the Townsend Re-
covery plan by Sherman j. Balm
bridge, speaking before a county
wide rally at Hinckley Monday aft
ernoon.
Mr.. cambridge, editor of the Town
send National Weekly and general
manager of the Townsend plan, ad-
dressed the gathering following a noon
luncheon at the Royal Neighbors hall
Most Powerful County.
Mrs. A. Steinborn of Cloverdale,
county organizer, opened the meet
ing and introduced John Johnson,
state manager, who has been accom-
panying Mr.. cambridge on his trip
through Minnesota. Mr. Johnson
stated that they started the present
series of rallies at Alexandria last
Friday and were conducting three a
day. He credited Pine county with
being the most powerful Townsend
district in the state, having the most
clubs per capita.
In launching his address, Mr.. Balm
bridge dwelt briefly on the pension
for Congressman bill that was re-
pealed several weeks ago following
cfc oil fh4
He. pointed out that the first inkling
of the bill was not given through the
columns of the daily press but through
the Townsend National Weekly.
Ear From Dead"
He went on to discuss the work
being done to supply the wants of
the poor and needy in western states,
citing California and Washington as
examples. Speaking of insidious
campaigns against the Townsend
movement Mr.. cambridge told of the
work of Pearson and Allen, news
paper columnists, who stated that
the movement was dying; and of an
article appearing in recent issue
of a national daily which accused
the Townsendites of "subversive ac-
tivities"
The speaker said that the move
ment was far from dead and that
the Townsend group is very patriotic.
DR.. Townsend, he said, is veteran
of the first World war and now has
a son serving in the armed forces
in World War II.
Bolstering Weak Districts.
Reporting on the progress of the
Townsend bill in Congress, Mr.. Balm
bridge said they now have 1859 sigma
lures to bring the bill to the floor,
Is more are willing to sign, and an
other 25 is needed. The Townsend
groups are working hard in some
of the Congressional districts to boil
ster the weak territories, especially
in 70 districts where the Congress
men were elected by small majorities.
In his closing remarks Mr.. Balm
bridge urged his listeners to keep up
the fight as it was up to each one
individually to lend strength to the
Townsend movement and that it was
only through the united efforts of
groups all over the nation that the
Townsend bill could be made a law

Slaughter Cattle
On Steady Level
Increased r e c e ipts in
Swine C. uses Price
Downturn This Week.

South st. Paul, Mimi, March 81,
1912: Prices on slaughter steers and
yearlings so far this week have main
tanned generally steady levels al
though trading has been slow. Ac-
cording to the Federal-State Market
News Service, very few steers grad
ing better than good were offered.
On Monday package of choice medi-
um weights brought $3.50, but as
a general rule the bulk of the crop
consisted of mediufns kinds selling
from $1,000 to SLIPS, with good steers
from $11.50 to $3.50. Heifers were
scarce and about steady, while cows
and bulls were firm. Most common
and medium heifers sold from $3.50
to $10.5O. Gamer and cutter cows
ranged from $3.50 to $500, with
weighty cutters up to $8.25 freely.
Common and medium beef cows
bulked at $8.25 to 5000. Medium and
good sausage bulls brought $8.75 to
S9.75 and strictly good beef bulls
ranged up to $1,000. Vealers were
steady to soc lower, common and
medium grades being under pressure
to show the most loss. Good and
choice vealers bulked at $1,000 to
$3.50, while strictly choice kinds
made $14O0 to $15.00 on Kosher
orders. A bulk spread of $3.50 to
$11.50 took in most common and
medium vealers. Stockers and feed
ers were fully steady.
Swine Receipts Up.
In the two day turnover of mar
ketable swine, initial sales were on
firm price basis, but later activity
developed Csc to 30c lower money.
Increased receipts were partly re-
sponsible for the downturn, although
the trade is pretty much in a top
heavy position. However, locally the
price spread for good to choice butch
ers remains comparatively narrow,
difference of mostly 15c. Process
sors have suggested a widening Of
such figures, stating that the trade
does not warrant returns to producers
of that nature. Feeder pigs shared
sympathetic downturn, being quoted
as much as Csc lower. Peak prices
for the week were $13.65 on Monday
with sows sparingly at $13.45. Late
sales were $13.35 and $13.15 respec-
lively.
Slaughter lamb quotations moved
upward early with fed lambs SELL
ing on a strong to 15c higher basis
as compared with last Friday.

The fact that a British expedition
a few days ago went across the Eng
lish Channel to st. Nazaire in north
western France to destroy ships and
docks may be one of the indications
that the United Nations really are
planning that much-talked-a about in
vasion of nazi-held European contin-
ent which has been expected for quite
while. Coupled with that report
were stories that the Royal Air Force
had gone far afield to bomb cities
in Germany itself, in Holland, in
Belgium.
And there is also the still sig
nificant rumor that large part
of the German navy is cruising
up and down the coast of Norway
in a probable attempt to stave off
British invasion of the con-
tinent through that country.
The British are, of course, too wise
to say anything about any possible
invasion plans in advance, but it is
quite likely that the Germans have
an inkling of what may be coming,
and that, too, explains their desperate
attempt to cut off Murmansk in Arctic
Russia from overseas commerce and
from connection with interior Rus
sian cities. Soviet armies put a stop
to that move.
Possible Complications.
While some of the Moscow bulle-
tins of victories may be exaggerated,
there is no doubt that the German
invaders of Russia are in most des-
perate situation. 1t is said that Hitler
has sent 100000 additional soldiers
to this front, and that he is looking
around for some outside assistance,
During the last few days he has had
conferences with King Boris of Bull
garia and with Franz Won Papen, his
ambassador at Ankara.
It is thought that he insisted
on both Bulgaria and Turkey
joining his war against the Sow
lets, and that King Boris assured

expected to find a perfect marriage
and who throw up their hands and
quit when they find that they have
missed it, do not understand is that
the happiest marriages are not
greenhouse flowers, they are the
sturdy plants that have struck their
roots down in rocky soil and defied
the wind and weather to kill them
For husbands and wives are not
bound together by ease and luxury.
but by the hardships they endure
together, by the battles they have
fought out shoulder to shoulder, by
the weaknesses they have condoned
in each other.
And the saddest part of the whole
tragedy of these boys and girls who
expect too much OF marriage Is that
they could still find so much that
is worth having in it II only they
would make the best of what they
have. instead Of throwing the whole
thing in the scrap heap; because
many a marriage could be salvaged
by little patience and forbearance
and common sense.
For, while no husband or wife can
ever come up to the romantic ex-
pectations Of those seeking q perfect
mate, they can develop into good
providers and superexcellent cooks.
And that is something.
Furthermore, divorce doesn't help
to solve the problem OF how to make
a perfect marriage. For all. mar
riages are cut off of the same bolt
of cloth and have flaws in them.

By Josephine Lowman
Since the United States Of Amer
lea has become engaged In war, I
have heard many American wom-
en- say things similar to the fol-
lowing:
Believe me, I'm going to put my
whole family on health routine
and no procrastinating this time!
We may have to pull our belts in
before this Is over"
Another, I'm going to get Is fit
as . flddle-build up more stamina!
I may not be able to afford help
with the children and house later
on"
Still another. I'm going to have
my tonsils taken out. I've been
told many times that they are
poisoning me and I want to get
myself into fine physical condition. |"
Here you have the reaction Of the
average woman in the average
home. Nobody knows Just what
sacrifices lie ahead. It certainly Is
true that women on this side Of
the water may have to give up
many Of the luxuries to which they
have become accustomed. This will
be true because prices are rising,
taxes will mount and the desire to
buy Defense savings bonds grows
with the emergency.
This is q time when physical
stamina of the entire continent,
from children to soldiers, is vitally
important. Horrible though war Is,
it has this one happy by-product.
It tends to level life to essentials,
to simplify 1t, and to spotlight the
old and tried rules Of honor and
mental and physical stamina which
we find in the constitutions Of the
democracies and in all good books
on health.

Shake Bath Towels
To Restore Fluff

Big cuddly bath towels are the
housewives pride Soft and absorb
ent, they give the f1nal touch Of
luxury to the bath or shower. They
come in many sizes, colors and
weights to accommodate all tastes.
These are important factors but It
Is equally important that there be
enough towels in the linen closet so
that clean ones can be hung In the
bathroom as needed. and so that
each member of the family may have
his own.
Good housekeepers know how to
restore the fleeciness Of the toweling
after laundering. Much Of the
beauty is lost If the nap is crushed
down in hard wads. and some of
the absorbency as well. The trick
lies in one little gesture. After the
towels have been washed and rinsed
and hung on the line, take hold OF
the two free corners. Shake each
towel with a right good will. The
thread loops will spring away from
the towel body and will dry soft
instead Of matted. Do not iron,
as this presses the loops back
down again. The hens may be
pressed lightly II desired.

muCn III COIllIllOIl Will odlllto.
So it is pathetic to think of this
terrifying quest of the starry-eyed
youngsters for the perfect marriage
and their belief that out of all the
millions of men and women who
have gone before them who have
also hunted for the end of the rain
bow, that they will find it. They
look about them and see so many
stolid, middle-aged couples whose
romance has so long been dead that
they have nothing left even to say
to each other; they have heard
their own parents Quarreling every
day of their lives, and they say:
This mustn't happen to us. We
must 60 through life trailing clouds
Of glory. Our marriage must be
perfect"
And their vision of a perfect mar
riage Is as artlesS as a child's idea
of q party-all ice cream and cake.
They are to think alike on every sub
ject, to have the same tastes, ambi-
tions and desires. There are to be
no arguments, no differences of opin-
ion. No sickness. No hard times.
No pinching economies. No frayed
nerves and rasped tempers from
being bawled out by the boss, or hav-
ing done hard days washing.
Always the wife will keep her
youth and beauty and meet her hus-
band of an evening with a glad,
sweet smile, with her hair immacu-
lately coiffed and wearing pink chif-
fon. Always the husband will re-
main a great lover. And even the
children will be miraculously born
past the teething age, with curly
hair and angelic dispositions.
But life is not like that. And
marriage is not like that by a long
shot. Even the luckiest of marriages
are full of the clashes of tempera-
ment between differing personalities.
Of inevitable disagreements and op-
posite points of view, of work and
worry and trials and tribulations, of
sickness and bills and strain and
stress that tries the souls of both
husbands and wives and makes them
wonder at times why they did it.

Is to 60 slow on foods that supply
