But be very careful that the teeth
do not go deep enough to hurt the
sprouting beans.
DON'T WORK WET
Another point to remember about
growing beans is not to work in
them when they are wet with dew
or rain. Spreading the water from
one plant to another has tenden-
cy to spread the diseases to which
beans are subject.
If you grow more beans than you
can use for the table, the young
tender ones can be canned for WIN
ter if you have the use of the steam
pressure equipment recommended
for safe canning OF this non-acid
vegetable.
Beans that become too old for ia
BILE use should not go to waste. AL
low them to ripen to gather and
store for use as dry beans during

By Veterans HOSPITAL

Complete plans for the evacuation
OF patients and employees of Vet
Grams Administration hospitals in
the event of air raids or other
emergencies have been worked out,
the local Office of Civilian Defense
disclosed yesterday in a report from
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, veterans
administrator.
Plans are detailed down to the
point of railroads to be used in the

other employees, the OCD said.
AS a result of surveys, Gen. Hines
informed local officials, plans were
developed for the rapid evacuation
of patients from any hospital that
might be subject to attack to a suit

The Veterans Administration,

new shaft FOR
PIONEER MINE
Preliminary Work Started on
Inclined Shaft to Intercept
Vertical Opening.

The Oliver Iron Mining company
has begun preliminary work of sinking
an inclined shaft to intercept the YER
tical "a" shaft at the Pioneer mine
here.
The E. j. Longyear company of Min
neapolis has been given the contract
to sink the shaft.
The new shaft will start $50 feet
north of the collar of the present "A'
shaft and will intercept the vertical
opening at a depth of approximately
75O feet from the collar The new
shaft viii be sunk all the way in rock
at an angle of 10 degrees.
The arrangement of compartments
will be the same in the new as IN the
present shaft There will be two skips,
a cage and pipe and ladder compart-
ments.
Several years ago mining in the
vicinity of "a" shaft produced surface
subsistence which caused the upper
part of the shaft to settle and move
out of line with the lower part. This
slip occurred about 130 feet below the
collar and was Of such magnitude that
mining in the upper levels in the vi
cinity of the shaft was stopped. The
demand for iron ore growing from the
national emergency now makes it
necessary to mine ore IN this area.

In the interests of economy and to
make it less unwieldy, there is a bin
before the Minnesota legislature to
cut down the size of both houses;
the senate from its present 81 to A
members and the house from 131 TO
88. Attorney General Burnquist has.
ruled that the move is legal, the rul-
ing having been made on request of
one Of the sponsors of the bill. That
the sponsors are very optimistic is
granted, but how they expect the house
or senate TO vote themselves out Of
office, is somewhat Of a connundrum
although the Constitution says there
shall be a reapportionment after each
census. The census of 1910 would gov
ern reapportionment at this time.
Directly the present members of the
lower and upper houses would not be
affected as the move would call for
constitutional amendment to be
voted on by the people. Judging by
past elections on constitutional amend
ments and the apathy of voters on
them, it would take some time to work
up enough enthusiasm to pass the
amendment. This probably would be
the only way it could be brought to
pass as it is not expected the legisla-
ture would pass a reapportionment
