The Mahua Tree of India Produces
Blossoms of Extreme Sweetness.

The Mahua Tree of India Produces
Blossoms Of Extreme Sweetness.
The mahua. malwa, mowha, nova or
moWra tree of India is large decidu-
DuS tree throughout the forests of Dek-
kan. Karnatik. west coast. and central
India, and Gujrat. stretching north as
far as Oudh and Kumaun and eastward
across to Orissa. Though found in a
purely wild state i'll many parts Of In
lia. the vaIne of the flowers and fruit
has caused it to be brought under more
Or less cultivation. The economic value
OF the tree lies In it's edible flowers and
oil yielding seeds, although the gum or
gutta that flows from incisions or abra-
sions on the stems shows an average
Of 1873 per cent gutta 1888 per cent
resin and 1913 per cent ash. The bark
also is used as dye while all the
properties of the tree are used to some
extent incidentally.
The mahua puts forth its leaves from
February to April. Cream colored
flowers appear in great clusters Of thir-
ty to fifty near the ends of the branches
from March to April About the end
of March the flowers begin to arrive at
maturity, and every morning about sun
rise the succulent corOlla tubes fall in
great showers to the ground, which has
been cleared Of grass and underbrush
and prepared for the harvest This
continues to the end of April, but usual
~ the fall from single tree is com
plete in seven to ten days The flow
ers are then spread out and left to dry
in the sun. In a few days they shrink
in size. change in color to reddish
brown. and their peculiar sweet odol
becomes more apparent.
These flowers are eaten extensively
while fresh, but. generally speaking,
they are dried thoroughly and cooked
with rice and other grains. Sometimes
they are completely dried and reduced
to a powder and in this condition are
cooked in round cakes and mixed with
a variety of fOOdStuffs Nahua is ex-
tremely sweet, and the ability to eat
and digest it must be acquired. Few
Europeans are able to eat more than
one flower on single occasion without
having disagreeable after effects. Sugar
and molasses Of good quality are also
made Of mahua. 1t is estimated that
in the central provinces alone 100000
Of the native people use mahua as a
regular article of foOd.-Consular Re

duty above personal gain, are the

The United States can make prac-
tically everything it consumes. If we
get our citizens accustomed to asking
for and using American made goods
this country will soon be virtually in
dependent of the foreign markets.
This will mean that millions Of dol
lars that formerly went abroad each
year will be spent at home. The work
shops will be kept busy, and the en-
tire country will share in the pros
perity resultant from this movement.

The Newfolden Review last week
contains an editorial telling the vot-
ers to "swat" c. L. Stevens, candi-
date for representative, at the polls
next Tuesday because, it is alleged,
he as a printer has charged the
county too high a price for certain
kinds of printing. Being in the
printing business ourself, we happen
to know something about what are
fair prices for printing and in our
judgment, the prices charged are not
unreasonable for the kind of work
done, provided the printer is to have
a fair profit On his work. The fact
that some other printer in some 9th
err county has chosen to turn out
work for a less figure, at loss per-
haps, does not prove the unreason-
ableness of Mr.. Stevens charges.
Furthermore, printers bills, same
as everybody else's bills for work
done for the county, have to pass the
scrutiny Of the county board, and if
there be anything wrong about the
charges, it will be detected. The
attack on Mr.. Stevens on this ground
is wholly unwarranted and will not
have the effect desired. The voters
of the county favor fair play and
will not be prejudiced against Mr..
Stevens on account of the "roorback' y
emitted by the Newfolden paper.

That the Red River Valley farmer
is getting more and more into the
habit of divecsifying his products, is
a very apparent fact. Corn and al
falfa are nov grown on many farms
the dairy industry is increasing at !
rapid rate and cattle, sheep, hogs
and chickens are more numerous
than ever. Silos are being built and
will soon ne found on every farm.
Many farmers have made good at
raising potatoes and once in a while
we hear of a farmer who has made
a bunch of money growing some spe-
cial crop. This year a Moorhead
man, for instance, has raised 5000
bushels of onions which he expects
to sell for $3.50 per bushel.

Charles Wittensten is a member of
the county board whose services
ought to be retained for another
term. He is man of fine executive
ability and can do things. His past
record on the county board is proof
Of this fact. When he undertakes
to do a thing he goes at it until he
succeeds. That is the kind of men
who are the most useful in COM
munity as we'll as on the county
board. He is greatly interested in
good roads and bridges and he has
been instrumental in securing many
of these valuable improvements for
his district and the county Any
one who travels about the county can
not fail to notice the marked i'm
provement of the roads in recent
years, and a great deal Of this is due
to the fact that we have good, ac-

The farmers and business men
from all over this legislative district
are rallying to the support of Sena-
tor Sundberg and will surely re-elect
him by large majority on Tuesday
next. They know that he has served
them faithfully and we'll and also
realize that because he has done so is
the reason why he is now fought so
bitterly by the very interests he has
antagonized as a legislator. The
people will not go back on a public
servant who has proved faithful and
trustworthy, and that is why they
will return Mr. Sundberg to the leg
is!ature.

Charley Adolphson, candidate for
county commissioner in the third dis
trict is another strong man on the
county board. During this, his first
term of service, he has shown that
he possesses masterful grasp Of
county affair. He is man Of good
judgment and favors strict economy
in the expenditure of county funds.
He is also much interested in good
roads and bridges and has done good
work in securing such improvements
for his district.

The interests opposed to Senator
Sundberg begin to see the "handwrit-
ing on the WALL" now that the people
of this legislative district are flock
ing almost unanimously to the old
senator's support. Realizing that
their game is lest the opponents of
Sundberg in their frantic efforts to
bolster up their losing cause have re-
sorted to the most disreputable cam
paign methods, personal SANDER and
abuse. To show how hard up they
are for campaign material against
Senator sundberg, the Hallock News
last week attempts to prejudice the
voters of kittson county against him
by saying that in the matter of APP
preparations for the district he al
ways provided for Marshall and Ro-
seau counties to the detriment Of
Kittson county. Furthermore the
paper states that he, (Sundberg), in
vited a delegation of Warren peo-
pie with another doctor to- assist
"him" DR.. Bosworth of ST. Paul, to
come to Hallock, their purpose un-
known to any one but themselves,
and used all the art at their COM
mand to induce our county board to
turn over to Marshall county the
$4,000 that is in it's hands and is
available for a hospital" The hos
pital here referred to is the hospital
for consumptives for which the doc
tors in Warren have interested them
selves and which they were anxious
to see built under the law which per-
mits two or more counties joining in
building and maintaining such an in
stitution. The ''him" in the quota
ton above :afers to an honored War
rem physician who has worked hard
and disinterestedly for the proven
ton and cure of tuberculosis. Mr..
sundberg was simply trying to assist
these workers in a good cause to Sc
cure a sanatorium for consumptives
upon the favorable terms given by
the state, and now his good inten-
tions are misconstrued and used
against him in the campaign. Kittson
county, Of course, had a perfect right
to refuse joining Marshall county in
such project, but because the plan
of the Warren doctors was not taken
up at that time, neither county has
yet a sanatorium for consumptives.
Who can tell how much human suf-
fering has been occasioned, and pre-
cious lives perhaps lost, by the de-
lay to establish such an institution,
but no blame can be laid at the door
of Senator Sundberg.
In such ways as these the well in
tentioned acts Of Senator Sundberg
are twisted and distorted by the
powerful interests and their hire
lings now trying to accomplish his
defeat. But the people of Kittson
county, we are firmly convinced have
too much intelligence, common sense
and fair-mindedEess to allow such
disreputable eanpaign methods to in
fuence their vote on election day. We
look for almost unanimous vote fol-

Judging from reports received,
County Attorney A. N. Eckstrom is
the favorite of the voters in all parts
of the county. He has "made good"

no doubt give him a handsome en-
dorsement on election day. Mr.. Eek
strom is a hard working man and he
has not found time to travel over the
county much for the purpose of see
