however, most of them can be used
to good advantage under different
conditions The drags which have
proved most satisfactory are the
homemade Minnesota road planer
and the King drag. The consistent
use of these drags will insure good

State will Give Instruction on

The various FIRE departments of this
section of the state hold their annual

June 9th. This will bring together a
large number of fremen from sur
rounding towns and an interesting pro-
gram of athletic contests between the
different fire companies and the in

contests are always very interesting
and attract large number of spect-
ators.

and some of the best informed men on
hog cholera will be here to explain

is that the counties of Southern and
Central Minnesota have received the
largest number of immigrants. This
clearly indicates that the "Step sy-
stem is taking place in Minnesota.
In other words, the Iowa and Illinois
farmers are selling their 5000 and
$500 lands and buying the 500 lands
OF the farmers in Southern Minnesota,
end the Southern Minnesota farmers are
moving farther north and buying the
cheaper lands of Northern Minnesota.
No attempt was made to gather data
as to sales made to Minnesota men,

Northern Minnesota land delaers in.
form Mr.. Sherman that thev have sold
but very few tracts to people living
outside of the state and have dealt
almost entirely with men from South.
ern and Central Minnesota.
These figures do not take into con-
sideration the state lands sold to nom
residents. The State Auditors re-
port for the year of 1913 shows that
state lands were sold to 100 parties
living outside of Minnesota. Neither
does it take into consideration the
men who have filed on Minnesota
hoS esteads. Reports from the three
Government Land Offices show that
during the past year 2, 3O4 people have
fled On Minnesota homestead lands.
and as replies are coming in slowly
every day from these letters, it is
very conservative estimate to place
the total of new residents in this
state at 5, 900.

Farm Home Destroyed

Herman Review - Friday after
noon the farm home of j. Siebrands.
in Eldorado Township about 8 miles
south of Herman was destroyed by
fire.
At the time of the fire there was
no one at home but small girl and
the boy who was working in the fields
some distance from the house, Mr..
and Mrs. Siebrands being away at
tending a funeral. The fire gained
such rapid headway, before aid ar
rived that the destruction of the house
and contents was complete.
The loss on dwelling and contents
is about $4,000, partially covered by
an insurance of $500 on the building
and $4OO on the household goods.
The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr..
Siebrands already has plans underway
to rebuild at an early date.

R0BbER SENT LOOT
BY PARCEL POST
Cincinnati Police Believe They Have
Traced Stolen Money to
Louisville.

Cincinnati, O., Dec. 19.-The
$13,1OO obtained by Frank G. Hohl
the automobile robber, who Thurs
day took money from two banks AND
was later killed after fatally wound
ing a policeman, or at least part
of it, was shipped by parcel post te
Louisville, KY, by the robber.
This information was ascertained
by the police late yesterday wher
John o. Keller, a grocer, identified
the dead robber as the man who hat
come to his store shortly after moor
Thursday and obtained box il
which he placed several bundles ant
then securely wrapped the package
1t was also ascertained that Hob
was in station of the postottict
about 1890 p. m. Thursday.
1t is known that he sent a box de-
cidedly similar to the one he wrap
ped up in the grocery store to P. Z

army OF 4,0oQ,;
600 IN SPRING
Allies Preparing for Tremendous As
sault Upon Germans in France
and Belgium.

Belgium, Dec. 19.-Just now SOL
diers Of both the allied armies and
the German army in Flanders and
France are alternating along the
200-mile battle front. There is
skirmishing and an occasionally
bloody engagement, when one side
or the other attempts ground gain
ing movement, but the real business
of fighting has been deferred until
spring.
At that time the British, French
and Belgian governments will be in
la position to place in the field
against the Germans at least 4,OOO,-
900 troops. That is the strategy Of
Kitchener, French and Joffre. All
is being conserved for great blow
at the army of invasion when the
weather again becomes mild enough
for field operations.
The picked men OF each side, who
for four long months held the
trenches at the front, have been re-
lieved by less valuable fighting units
and are being held in reserve.
Except for the sporadic artillery
duels that go on night and day there
is little fighting. And in all proba-
bility even the shell fire will dimin-
ish gradually as the Information
grows more complete, for it costs
money to hurl great shells in the
general direction Of dug in
army, when the chance of intiicting
extensive injury is slight. The win
ter campaign is on and these men
are resting on their arms. In the
spring then this great, new allied
army of 100000 will hurl itself on
the Germans in the hope of winning
a decisive victory.
The French troops make an army
of nearly 100000 picked men as
they now stand, and to them $780,
600 are being added. Kitcheners
policy has not been quite clear in
the past. The comparatively few
men who have stood the brunt OF SO
much heavy fighting have not been
sacrificed in vain. At home there is
being recruited an army that will
certainly exceed 100000.
They are being withheld from the
front until thorough, vigorous train
ing may have seasoned them for act
ual warfare.

"The enemy yesterday was driven
from his positions north of the Car
pathians between Krosno and Zahli-
'czyn. On the lower Donajec river
we and our allies are doing battle
with the enemy's rear guard.
"Ln south Poland our advance so
far has been made without import
ant fighting. Piotrkow, day before
yesterday, and Przedborz, yesterday,
were stormed.
"The heroic garrison at Przemysl
has continued fighting in front Of
the fortress with success.

stroyed. The entire north side Of
Main street, with the exception of
the bank and drug store, was de-
stroyed The damage is estimated
at between $4,000 and $4,000.
The flames were first discovered
in a pool hall and barber shop.
spreading from there to the grocery
of r. M. Teydel. This building also
includes the postottice. Snavely's

The fire department from Brook
Ign and Marengo were called to sub
due the flames, the latter taking
some of their equipment on the ev-
ening passenger on the Rock Island.
The tiremen were hampered in
their fight on the flames by the lack
of an up to date fire fighting appar-
atus. The town has no water press
ure system, and the oldfashioned
hand pumps were used to put out
the blaze.
At late hour last night the
flames were extinguished, except in
the coal bins, where the tiremeu re-
ported they had the fire under con-
troll.

Holdings by October 10.

Cincinnati. May 13-An extension Of

Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company In
which 10 sell its holdings in the Kanawha

inal time set for disposing Of these hold

Of q part OF the order Of United States

court. recently ordered the dissolution OF
the alleged soft coal trust and directed the
Chesapeake & Ohio and the Lake Shore

The appeal applies only to that portion

railroads had sixty days in which TO dis
pose Of their holdings in the coal com
