You cannot make the Ten Thousand Lakes asso- ciation a success until you can make the cities free from auto thievery.” This attitude was reflected in a number of questionnaires and it was' noticeable that the statement was| made by men living in all parts of the! state, in the cities, and in rural dist-| ricts. Judging from a few comments, bankers have closely been watching | the actions of service men after the Onlons, dry . latter received ‘their state bonuses. “As expected, a few proceeded to get drunk and toss away their allow- ance,” said one banker. ‘“But on the whole, the boys that have watched have done very well. I noticed also that- fellows who were hitting the high spots before they went to war (they were single then) have settled down. Possibly their experiences on the other side, prohibition, and their present marrled state, brought this about.

One banker suggested that the state legislature reduce the number of state bureaus and commissions, and establich a ‘budget system. A sug- gesticn was made that the legislature determine whether it is possible to] tuzx mail order concerns. Improved laws for the filing of chattel mort- gages in registers of deeds offices were suggested. Other laws urged follow: Improved primary election measure; making two districts out of each present representative dist- rict; broader authority for state se- curities commission and vigorous pro- secution of “Blue Sky" promot laws to insure proper care for good roads, particularly the Babcock sys- tem and interstate highways, and ier punishment for automobile ders_and automobile thieves. aral delayed reports were re- ceived from cities which did not file immediate replies to the question- arding municipal Dudgets ities for 1921.

RAILROADS TO LOWER FARM WEEK RATES University Farm, St. Paul.—The railroads have agreed to lower their irates in order to make it easier for | farmers and home-makers in Min- nesota to attend Farmers’ and Home- makers’ week at University farm, St. Paul, Jan. 3-8. The rate will be one | fare and a half for the round trip. This Yate is not guaranteed but de- |pends on an attendance of at least 1250 persons from points in Minne- sota only, from which the one-way | fare to St. Paul or Minneapolis is $1 jor_more. B | It depends also on whether the person seeking 10 avail himself or her- self of the reduced rate brings to | University farm a certificate from the local ticket agent at place of start- {ing, to show that he or she pur- { chased one full fare ticket from such Ypoints to St. Paul or Minneapolis, | between the dates Jan. 1 and Jan. 7. | This certificate must be signed by the | purchaser at the time of the pur- chase. On purchaser’s arrival at Uni- versity farm, it must be presented at dorsement. When it has been en- dorsed by the secretary, also by a! special agent of the railroads, it will be good for the purchase of a ticket home by the same route at half-fare ' rates between Jan. 3 and 12. If a certificate cannot be obtained from a’ local ticket agent, a receipt—also to be signed by the purchaser in the’ presence of the ticket agent—may be taken from the agent instead of a certificate.

T TR MILK FKOM UNTESTED COWS Qrphan Asylum at New Haven, Conn,, Provided With Product of Tuber~ cular Animals. ¥ A glaring Instance of the dangers of marketing mlik from untested tubercu- fous cows was recently reported to the United States Department of Agrleuls ture by one of its field men engaged In tuberculosis-oradication work. At the request of the meat !nspee- tor of New Haven, Conn., the federal expert exumined the carcass of a cow recently killed at & local slaughter- house. The animal showed extensive iesions of tuberculosig in' the lungs, liver, and other parts pf the body. In- vestigation revealed that the cow had heen sent to the city by a dalryman who was.delivering the milk from his herd to an orphan asylum of the city, and. aiso that the milk was not pas- tearizdd. 4 Upon further Investigation, in which the state authorities at Hartford co- operated, a test of the entire herd was made. Of a total of 25 cattle, 23 re- tcted to the tuberculin test. B -4 o~ Tribute to the Clematis No clematis is like another clematis.
