ONLY THIRTY SALOONS
MOOrhead City Council Adopts Resolu-
tion to Grant only Tkirty LII
lenses Beginning July j.

As f~orecasted in The Forum, last
night, the city council of Moorhead
adopted a resolution, in harmony with
q communication from the loyal Lib
erty Protective league, an organiza-
ton representing the liquor interests
of the city, to the effect that not more
than thirty saloon licenses be issued
for the new license period beginning
July /. Also, that the minimum reve-
nue. from saloon licenses should amount
to $4,000. The amount of the license
fee will be fixed at some future meet
ing of the council, before the time for
the advertising of applications for Ii
censes for the new year.. No inttma-
ton has been given as to what process
will be used in the elimination of ten
saloons which will be required to bring
the number within the terms of the
resolution unanimously adopted by
the council, last night.
1t is proper to state that the action
of the Loyal Liberty Protective league
is in Difference to the people of Moor
head who desire a reduction in the
number of saloons N which feeling
was freely expressed during the re-
cent municipal election and which was
brought about by repeated conferences
between the league and the commercial
club of Moorhead. a.

Alexandra Post News: An attempt
was made on Monday evening to burn
the Presbyterian church at Forado, and
it's failure was due to the timely ar
rival of Rev. Nathaniel Leavitt and his
wife,, who occupy a portion of the
church as a residence. The outrage is
believed to have been the outcome Of
the local fight over the saloon ques-
ton. At the election al year g the
vote for and against saloons was a tie.

ton for a new trial in the Trochmann

PREVENT POTATO DISEASE.
Minnesota University Plant PathoIo'
gist's Advice on Seed Potatoes.

sists Advice on Seed Potatoes.
e. Q. Stakman, assistant plant path
ologist, university farm, st. Paul, says
in a recent issue of University Farm
Press News:
Farmers should do two things in
connection with raising potatoes this
year. They should plan to plant pota-
toes on land which has grown none
for V or six years. Then they
should plant absolutely clean seed on
this land. This is essential because
last year a number of potato diseases,
which live in the soil and on the tu-
bers, were very commonly found al
most throughout the state. This
means that there is q large amount
of potato-sick soil and a large num-
Der of diseased tubers. TO plant
these tubers on infected soil would
almost surely result in poor crops and
unhealthy tubers this year.
After having selected a piece of
land, known not to have raised dis
eased potatoes, the seed tubers should
be carefully selected and treated.
Brown rot can be excluded In only one
way; by rejecting infected tubers.
Scab and r~hizoctonia germs can be
killed by the ordinary formaldehyde
treatment. The cost of the treatment
is very low, and there is no question
about the increased returns. A care
full look through some Minnesota po-
tato fields would convince anyone
exclude brown rot, and it must be
remembered that selection, in the
case of brown rot, Is the only means
of control. and, further, that It must
be combined with proper handling
of the soil"

WAS WARMLY GREETED
Big Houses Greeted Miss VicTet Mac

Several Performances.


There were big houses at the Or
.pheum last night to see Miss Violet
Macmillan, the clever little comedi-
enne who is the head liner at the
house the first three days Of this
week. She rendered some beautiful
songs and was warmly encored after
each one The costumes worn by the
dainty little lady were greatly admir-
ed and of course everybody had to
have a look at her tiny feet. Miss
Macmillan has certainly scored a big
hit in the city and there is every rea-
son for believing that the houses will
be filled during the entire engage
ment. Several ladies have made the
attempt to put on of her slippers
which is being exhibited at the deLen-
drecte store, but so far it is said that
no one over the age of Is years has
been able to wear it. She is a yerit-
able Cinderella.

sion, spent the day in the city for the
purpose of comforting with potato
shippers and growers in regard to the
minimum weight of a car of potatoes.
The present minimum is 10000 pounds.

perhaps by 1900 pounds. Mr.. Mills ex-
planned the different points which
have arisen as to the effect of the in
crease. The committee from the Clay
county Potato Growers association
indicated that they were not opposed
to the proposed increase of the mini
mum of weights. There are objections
in some sections and 1T is possible there
