Woodpeckers VIII Help You.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 49,
Tree owners should be interested to
know that the Zimmerman pine moth
in its caterpillar stage Is the cause OF
extensive damage to yellow pine in
the west and to other pine in the east
This damage can be greatly reduced
by care in selecting defective trees
for cutting
Spike-topped, lightning struck. snar-
ly-branched pines are most likely to
be infested Great numbers of cater
pillars hibernate in them. These
brood trees should be cut and burned
before spring, otherwise the moths,
Matching from the caterpillars, will
destroy younger and healthier trees.
If the brood trees are cut. the small
number of caterpillars probably viii
be destroyed by woodpeckers. AS an
instance of the value of this method:
A woodlot in Montana covered 40
acres and % per cent of the secon1
growth had been infested for several
seasons. After three overmature trees
had been cut further damage ceased
In another locality 5000 second growth
trees were infested each year. sur
Ivey showed that cutting "a brood trees
In a stand of 1000 would end the
trouble.
The Zimmerman caterpillar bores
under the bark OF the pine, Kills por
tions of the trees, and causes p1tch
deposits in the wood. These make the
lumber too pitchy for commercial use
The eggs are laid mostly during July
The proper time to destroy the insect
is in the winter

The government fleet is preparing

quarters. The following Is from a
Rock Island paper and tells of the &C.
tivities in this quarter:
THE cold weather is fast sending
the government dredge fleets into har-

river from Keokuk up to st. Paul, the
engineer work will soon be suspended
entirely because of the weather. Start

were sent to winter quarters from the
northern points south. as the weather
compelled them to cease the work. In

HAMMOND PRoCLAIMs PEACE
Minnesota's Chief Executive Says that
Peace Tops Gifts in His Thanks
giving Proclamation.

The greatest blessing for which the
people of Minnesota should give
thanks November 25 is that the ma
tion is at peace, Governor Hammond
says in his Thanksgiving proclama-
tion issued yesterday.
The proclamation follows in part:
"The people of Minnesota have es-
pecial reason to give thanks to God
for His blessings thorugh and by
which they have peace, contentment,
and the material things necessary for
their welfare and enjoyment.
Unfortunately some who possess
more of the worlds goods than they
need give too little to others who
through misfortune or other cause
have less than the actual necessities
demand, and so suffer. Will not the

who are in want, relieve the distress
ed, help the fallen to rise, and bring
hope and cheer to the disconsolate for
the sake of Him who has given us so
bountifully?
Gin the midst of the greatest war
the world has known, accompanied
with the most awful loss of life and
destruction of property and attended
by all the grief, misery, and woe that
so terrific struggle can develop,
America is at peace. Our hearts bleed
with sympathy for the stricken ones.
We pray that the terrible conflict may
end"
The Governor issued an earnest
call to all people to go to church

CORN SHOW WILL BE SUCCESS
LEGAL Farmers Invited to Enter "First
National" Corn Show Cotest-
st. Paul, Dec. 1-31.

Local bankers have received for
distribution supply of entry blanks
and circulars, containing full details
regarding the First National" Corn
Show to be held in the new Railroad
Building, ST.. Paul, Mimi, December
1st to 31st. under the auspices of the
First National Bank and Northwest
ern Trust Company of st. Paul and
Bankers of the Northwest. Farmers
and farmers sons in the states of
Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Washington,
Oregon and Idaho are invited to COM
pete for the beautiful silver and
"Goldyn Bronze" loving cups offered
as prizes which number 1876 and are
valued at $4,000.
The states in this contest have been
divided into districts so that compe-
tition among exhibitors is practically
local. The fact that a farmers corn
does not appear to him to be up to the
average this season, should not deter
him from competing for the prizes Of
fered, as all exhibitors will be handi-
capped to more or less extent in the
quality of their corn owing to the
weather conditions that have prevail
ed this year adverse to the successful
growing and maturing of standard
corn.
Ten ears of any variety of corn con-
stitute an exhibit. No entry fee is
charged. All exhibits will be return
ed to the contestants who request that
this be done at the time of making en-
try. A special feature of this corn
Show will be the "Boys' Corn Raising
Competition" open to entries by boy
corn growers throughout the North
west, eighteen years of age or under.
They will be awarded the same val
liable prizes as the adult exhibitor.
Many exhibits have already been
submitted by farmers in various Sec
tions of the contest territory. In or
der to prepare large and representa-
tive display for the Northwest, it is
the desire of the promoters of this
project to have all corn growers par
ticipate in the contest, sending in a
ten ear exhibit. Local bankers will
furnish pamphlets giving full details
and form of entry blank on request.
While entries will be received and
judged up to and including December
the 18th, the Management of the show
are anxious to have contestants make
entry at the earliest possible date pos
sible.

TO MAKE choice

governors principal adviser Sam
comes pretty near being the "King
Bee" in the state game, to all of which
the numerous daily delegations at his
office in the marble pile on Capitol
Hill will attest. Democratic Washing
ton is overlooking bet if they fail to
consider him.
- In commenting on the Republic an
presidential invasion of Minnesota l
forgot to mention Senator Cummins
of Iowa, who, by the way, is going to
give the choice of the "big boys" a
run for his money. AS the dopesters
put it, the fight in Minnesota is be-
tween Root and the Iowa man, those
outside the breastworks backing Cum
minis. He is the one disturbing fac
tor in the Root program as outlined,
but who will handle his fight in Min
ffesota is not yet known. While his
name is being extensively used no one
of prominence in the game has yet
hoisted his banner.
Another possible aspirant for Re-
publican gubernatorial honors has ap-
peared on the scene in the person of
Elias Steenerson of Crookston. How

ficiary of the unusual scramble to lead
the Republican hosts, view his report
ed entrance leave you to guess. Mr..
Steenerson, who, byt the way, is a
brother of Congressman Halvor Steen-
erson of the Ninth district, will be
remembered as a candidate for lieu
tenant governor year ago. He then
gave Minneapolis as his residence and
in the voting pulled down 77,S73 to
1896 for his rival, J. A. A. Burn
quist. Steenersons entrance would add
another Scandinavian to the list.
William E. Lee of Long Prairie, Re-
publican candidate for governor last
year, says he will not enter the field
again if some other candidate takes
a satisfactory stand on state issues.
The issues, he says, will be economy
and efficiency in state government in
order to reduce excessive taxation,
and driving the liquor power out Of
politics. He declares he will support
any good man for governor who
stands for these things, but will not
support him unless he does.

to that held other state and county

general of logs and lumber for the
Saltwater district is to be accepted
the holders of that particular state
job have no concern with the present
task of tn new efficiency and econ

anything to his support and that his
only concern are the lumbermen who
pay him fees. H is willing to furnish
any information wanted, though.
Once upon time the job of surveyor
general of logs and lumber was ca
gerly sought. Fabulous earnings were
credited to it and the holder took the
office with the, understanding that
portion of the proceeds went to the
campaign fund. What the three sur
veyors earn now is a mystery, as
there is nothing on file to show.
Albert F. Pratte, of Anoka, at pres
ent state representative from that dis
trict, is being spoken of in connec-
tion with the congressional job from
the Tenth district. Friends have
picked him to make the race against
the preesnt incumbent, Thomas D.
Schall, who is blind. In the last house
Pratt was known as "Fire Alarm"
Pratt. For new member his inquis-
itiveness got him the usual little, but
he demonstrated that he had ability.
Representative Pratt was county at

has large following in that district.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

Because of the war in Europe, there
is a scarcity of vessels to carry on the
trade of the United States. Ocean
freight rates are climbing. When the
war is over and the foreign ships,
which formerly carried our trade, are
back in the business, shipping rates
will fall
Why, then, should the United States
invest millions of dollars in ships to
alleviate a shortage for few months? :?
After the German and British carriers
get back in the business, freight rates
will fall again. There will be surplus
of carriers and the business will suf-
fer
American shipping interests need
the right to buy or build ocean freight
ers wherever they may be bought or
built at least cost, and the additional
privilege of free admission to Amer
ican registry.

THE HIGHER MISSION.

The Pure Advertising Bill, recently
introduced in the Missouri State Leg
islature, hits directly at the advertiser
who cheats, defrauds and plays the
game dishonesty; but it strikes indi-
rectly at the newspapers of the state,
depriving them of some of their most
profitable patrons.
The stand of newspapers on this bill
ought to show pretty well where their
conscience lies. They may, of course,
oppose it for other reasons than the
mere desire of receiving dishonest
gain. But the newspapers that sup
port the bill can be labeled pretty GER
tainly. They are newspapers that
realize their duty to the people OF
Missouri, believing that they have
higher mission than merely to make
money.
