went to France with the first expedi-
tionary force in August.
Announcement of the awarding of
the medal was contained in a London
paper of Nov. s, as follows:
"The war office states that the
president of the French republic has
bestowed the decoration 'Medaillo Mil

Agent, Believes in Northern Min

county has the school boys as well as
the soil to produce bumper potatoes
Clarence Rueberg, IA years of age, OF
Birchdale, obtained an average yield
this year of 493 bushels an acre. His
brother, Ernest, grew 487 bushels to
the acre.
The brothers won first and second
prizes in a potato contest organized
agent One hundred and thirty-two
boys took part Seven harvested over
400 bushels to the acre. The plots not
drowned out by heavy rains in the
early part of the growing season av.
eraged 251 bushels an acre.
The seed potatoes for the contest
were of the Carman type and were OBJ.
tanned through the Grand Rapids ex-
pertinent station. Each contestant had
peck of the seed stock. Another
contest of the same kind will be held
the coming season, the seed to be
taken from this years stock.
Mr.. Jewell has mans job. He
goes from farm to farm and from
schoolhouse to schoolhouse in an
automobile over hard, smooth roads,
but on foot through neaI.wilderness
with a pack on his back which con-
tains dry clothing, little cook stove
and food. A 30-mile hike day, along
blazed trails in the woods and through
the muskeg where the water stands
nearly knee deep, is common with
him. OFTEN he must build raft to
cross an intervening stream. The
lonesome settler who needs his help
does not call in vain. Jewell has been
on the job nearly year, but he has
made it count and everybody is en-
thusiastic over the results.
Needless to say, Mr.. Jewell believes
in northern Minnesota and it's re-
sources. The rural school, he says,
is the best agency at hand by which
to develop a permanent agriculture
and build up a community spirit. He
believes in organizing farmers clubs
and developing the cooperative idea
His message to the settlers is more

of the lack of good roads, can be more

CONFESSION FREES TWO MEN
c. D. Van der Steenstraten Admits
That He Robbed Store,
Not Others.

Minneapolis, Mimi, December o.
J. B. Johnson bought a plate of
beans for a man who was broke, and
he and Joseph Smith were arrested,
charged with robbery, and held to the
grand jury. Such at least, is the story
Smith told after he had been released,
following c. D. Van der Ste$hstraten's
confession of the crime for which the
two were held.
Johnson and Smith were identified
by Thomas Benson and two others as
the men who robbed his store. Ben
son was not asked to pick the robbers
out of number of men, the only form
of Identification which has any degree
of accuracy. He was shown the two
and asked whether they were the rob-
bers.
