New Jail After State Is Dry.

Princeton, W. Va, April 13.-The
County Commissioners are planning
to erect a new jail, which, they state,
will be needed when the State goes
dry" July 1, because of the great in
crease in moonshiners and boUrleg-
gers. More than 40 indictments have
been returned by the present grand
jury for this offense.
An alleged loop hole in the dry"
laws conceived by Pittsburgh men,
who had planned to reap a harvest
when the State goes dry" has been
plugged by the State Supreme Court,
which gives West Virginia license
Jurisdiction over all boats on the
river, even when they are moored to
the Ohio shore. The Pittsburgh men
planned to operate small steamboats,.
stocked with liquors, which would
have a United States Government
license, take purchasers abroad, sell
them liquors and then land them at
another port. If that scheme failed,
1t IL said, they planned to operate
slowly down the river and have those
who wanted to make purchases ride
out to the boat, get supply and re-
turn

For Mothers ON the Jury.

Oh, Mary, call the children home and
make the shutters fast,
Put out the cat and fill the furnace
full enough to last;
The key beneath the doormat place,
turn out the front hall light,
For Mothers on the jury, and won't
be home tonight.
There was a time, long years ago,
when Mother stayed at home,
And tended to her household tasks,
with no desire to roam;
She made the beds and swept the
hearth and kept the children down,
Until one day a Woman's Club was
started i'm our town.
Soon mother was member. and all
her leisure time
Was spent in writing papers on THE
Decadence of Rhyme"
THE Celtic Note in Bernard Shaw,
or 'Tennyson-the Man."
But even then she got home ere the
evening meal began.
Then came the bridge whist era, when
Mother played ali day,
Topped Off with tea and sandwiches
and bore the prize away;
OF all the village card sharks our
Mother was the best,
But even then she reached home ere
the sun had gone to rest.
From bridge to Civic Betterment the
ladies next did leap,
And Mother muttered health laws and
statistics in her sleep;
For lectures and fresh air funds she
let herself be bled
But she got home from committees
ere the family went to bed.
Now Mother has the ballot, and at
last has found her niche
I'm tuning up the Commonwealth to
just the proper pitch;
Against corruption, greed and graft
the women have to fight,
30 Mothers on the jury and she wont

PAPER RAILROAD"
Contract for SS-Mile System from
Brentwood, Md, to Gettysburg. Pm.


From the Gettysburg Times The
Washington, Westminster and Gettys-
burg Railway Company has awarded
the contract for the construction of
an eighty-three mile railway system
from Brentwood, Md, to Gettysburg,
Pa So reports the Engineering
News" which states that the Columbia
Construction company, of Washing
ton, has, secured the contract.
For years this has been one OF the
numerous paper roads" to enter
Gettysburg, though it was the only
one of the proposed lines that was
booked to operate as a steam road.
Some difficulties were experienced in
Maryland concerning right OF way,
it IL said, but all of these were settled
several weeks ago when the company
received the necessary papers. Just
now, it is declared on good authority,
the only thing that il holding up
actual operations IL permission Nto
cross another railroad in Carroll
county, and once that is secured the
way to build will be clear.
The road as planned would run
from Brentwood by way OF Sandy
Springs and Westminster to Titles
town; and from the latter town
would complete the last lap OF the
journey to Gettysburg.
The route lies through fine terri
tory, the entire way. and would con
meet Gettysburg with Washington
and intermediate points by a more
direct line than is now afforded. Just
how long the line will continue to
remain only on paper, however, r.
mains to be seen. There are plenty
OF Gettysburgians who will believe no
new railroad stories until the whistle
of the first locomotive is heard or
until the first trolley car enters Centre
Square.

Attention is called to the special
election to be held September IA, the
purpose of which is to vote on city
bonds to be issued on the state to the
amount of $4,000 bearing interest at
the rate of four per cent. The coun-
Gil has acted very wisely in placing
such a proposition before the people
and we believe that it ought to meet
favorable attention by all voters of
the city.
1t is money saving proposition.
The proposed bonds are to bear
four per cent interest which is one
and one-half per cent below the maxi
mum rate stipulated in the city char
ter The council has decided to use
two-thirds of the amount for the sew
er extension and the remaining one
third to pay an old outstanding bond
which is at present bearing five and
one-half per cent interest and if car
ried longer would become a burden to
the city.
1t is up to the voters to decide the
question, and the best and most eco
nomical way will be by voting in fav-
or of this bond issue.

GOVERNOR EBERHART
ISSUES PROCLAMATION
FOR SEED CORN WEEK
STATE OF MINNESOTA
Executive Department

Minnesota is now producing nearly
100000 acres of corn annually. Last
year its corn product was worth near
ly $51,Q00,000. The yield of corn Sc
cured by Minnesota farmers last year
was surpassed by that of only one
other state. 1t went ahead of all the
old "Corn Belt" states.
This distinction was won in part
through the influence of Seed Corn
Week observed for the last four
years.
Good seed corn is important in
every state, but, according to the Col
lege of Agriculture, it is especially
important in Minnesota, because var
ieties of corn must be planted that
will mature in from one hundred to
one hundred twenty days. Minneso-
ia cannot SUCCESSFULLY depend upon
importing corn. The best seed corn
for Minnesota farmers is carefully
selected seed corn that has been pro-
duced on their own farms. In the five
years from 1904 to 1908 the average
yield of corn in Minnesota was 1913
bushels. In the succeeding five years
it was 35.1 bushels. Good seed corn
in Minnesota may easily mean an
other five bushels added to the aver
age yield. s10,0O0,OOO annually, or
more than $50 to the farm.
| therefore heartily endorse the
campaign for the careful selection of
seed corn being made by the Minneso-
ia College of Agriculture, and hereby
appoint the week of September 14-19,
1914. inclusive as
SEED CORN WEEK.
l earnestly join the college in urg-
ing that every corn-grower in Mime
sofa shall on at least one day of the
week designated make it his special
duty to go through his corn field and
select for seed the best ears from his
sturdiest stalks, selecting and stor-
ing them after the plan outlined in
Extension Bulletin No. 9, which may
be had by writing the Agricultural
Extension Division, University Farm,
St. Paul.
Given under my hand and the great
seal Of the State Of Minnesota this
LIST day of September, 1914.

Seed Corn Week which has been an
annual affair for the past three or
four years will soon be here. Govern
or Eberhart has made a proclama
ton, designating the week 14-19 of
this month as the time when all farm
ers should make their selections for
seed corn. The move is a good one
and a great deal of interest has been
shown in all parts of the state. But
the week set aside would apply more
to the southern part of the state
where there is no danger of frosts
for some time. Here in the northern
sections conditions demand an earlier
date and it would be advisable to adj
vance this seed corn week a few days,
say the week of Sept. 7 IL. Certain
it is that such a week can be made
an important one, but in order to be
so. it must come at the right time.

In the various. attacks made again
st Senator Sundberg by the Kennedy
Star is one last week trying to create
the belief among voters that it is his
hobby to secure mortgages against
farmers and then putting the
screws" to them by foreclosure. Of
course this is done only to injure the
senator's chances of reelection, but
the charge can have no weight
among right thinking people. We all
know of Mr.. Sundberg's extensive
business interests in this county, and
a man having the interests that he
has at stake cannot afford to resort
to such business methods as the Star
would have you believe. Of course,
it would be natural for Mr. Sund-
berg, or anyone else, holding an over
due mortgage against anyone to
foreclose. This is business, and is
the outcome naturally expected by
the mortgagor in his failure to make
good. 1t is the only way one can
protect his own interests, and they
all do It. But the real fact in the
matter is, that in all the financial
help Mr.. Sundberg has rendered his
friends, he has never found it neces-
sary to foreclose more than three
mortgages either chattel or real es-
tate. in all the "a years he has resid-
ed in Kittson county, and in these
cases it was absolutely necessary
in order to protect his own interests.
Can any fair minded person blame or
find fault with Mr.. Sundberg for do
ing this? If anyone can prove any,
thing in contradiction to this state
ment, Mr.. Sundberg stands ready to
pay him, or donate $1,000 in cash to
any charitable institution in the
state. -Kittson County Enterprise.

The committee on ways and means
in Congress is considering plans for
war tax to make up for the loss in
customs incurred by the cessation of
imports. Some members contend
that tax on beer and increased
taxes on domestic wines and patent
medicines, with an increase of one
per cent in the income tax, and a
permanent inheritance tax would
meet all exigences caused by the war
without being seriously felt by in
dividuals. Others hold that, a tax
on liquors and patent medicines
would arouse contrary feeling and
propose instead five or ten per cent
stamp tax on all railroad passenger
tickets, theater tickets, baseball tick
cts and the like. No formal action
has been taken.

Some weeks ago we published a
petition signed by number of local
sportsmen the purpose Of which was
to put an end to preseason hunting
which has been prevalent in former
years among city hunters. We under
stand that some farmers took it
amiss and construed it as directed
against them. Such, however, was
not the intent. 1t was merely to re-
strain local boys who have been hab-
itual "sooners" to desist from that
practice. No attention was made to
anyone outside of town and we hope
no one will see any offense in what
was said.
