profitable campaigns this live wire
organization ever undertook cam
paign no less important than it's first
great campaign for reapportionment.
For at this meeting plans will be
made for the first to put over Amend
ment No. 1.-THE reclamation amend
ment, which was "Amendment No. g.
last year. r
In this fight is bound up the I.fu-
ture of state development, the future
of Northern Minnesota and of every
county, township, city village, ham
let and. settlement in 1t.
The reclamation amendment, as put
through the last legislature by such
hustlers for Northern Minnesota as
Senators McGarry, Nord and Vibert,
and Representatives Miner, Searls,
Bessette and Peterson of Coleraine,
is a a vastly more important proposal
than it was as it came before the
people last year.
| This time, besides providing for
setting aside reclamation revolving
fund for making tirebreaks and roads
in and around state land, the amend
ment provides also for CLEARING
state lands. Under it is will be pos
Isible for the state to begin an intel
|ligent policy of development by clear
ling a part of each tract offered for
sale, adding the cost to the price OF
the land, and thus enormously hast
ering thejsale of lands and the settle
ment and development of the north
country.
No more vital, no more important,
no more profitable an opportunity
ever confronted Northern Minnesota,
and the N. M. D. A. never had q
greater chance to be of high service
to the state than it has in this cam
paign for Amendment No. 1.
| The N. M. D. A. should begin this
lcampaign with every ounce of energy
behind it that Northern Minnesota
possesses.
TO that end, the Bemidji meeting
should be attended by the best hust-
lers in every Northern Minnesota
county and every Northern Minne-
sofa community.
The job before the N. M. D. A. is
a big job, and it needs every hand
and brain that can be mustered into
the service To succeed in it means
to put ahead the development OF
Northern Minnesota twenty years
To fail in it means to delay that de.
velopment perhaps twenty years. TIC
win the fight for Amendment No.
means to begin new epoch in the
fight for settlement and development
an epoch that will enormously profit
the state and every man, woman and
child in it.
Every county, every community
in Northern Minnesota should begi1
NOW to see to it that the bigges
and most earnest meeting the N. M
D. A. ever had is held in Bemidji De
cember 9 and 10.

LA F0LLETTES SEAMENS LAW.

One Of the most discussed laws dur
ing the past six months has been the
LaFollette seamen's law. Senator
Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin is
the author of the law which provides
for owners, sailors and public.
Much opposition has arisen by the
steamship companies who claim that
they are unable to operate under this
law. They have discharged crews
and have cancelled scheduled steam
ship lines, alleging that under the
law they have been made to operate
the lines at loss.
That the law will be one of the
main topics of the next session of
congress is almost certain.
Here is just what the act provides
for the owners, sailors and public,
with the United States Department
of Commences rulings on certain Sec
tions of the law incorporated:
Section compels a ship captain,
short-handed during a voyage to fill
vacancies with men of the same or
higher rating before proceeding. Sec
ton 2 makes nine hours days work
in port. Section provides that for
every days delay in collecting his
wages, man gets double pay.
Section 4 provides that in any port
sailor on any ship may collect half
his pay or complain to U. S. officers
and: get full pay and the right to
quit. T.
Section 5 rules that a majority of
examined for seaworthiness, or it's
supplies for quality, by U. S. agents.
Section 6 bids goodby to the fore
castle of fiction. There must be a
berth for each man in a clean room
drained and ventilated and with
shower bath. There must be ship S
hospital
When a sailor quits, says Section
7, he cannot be imprisoned or forced
to work. For INSTRUMENTATION lie
may be placed in irons and for as
saulting an officer, imprisoned for two
days.
Section prohibits fogging sail
ors. If the master of vessel fails
to deliver such an offender, he and
the vessel owners are liable for dam
ages. Section 10 gives two ounces
of butter and five quarts of water to
each sailor daily.
Section II prohibits sailors as
signing wages to employment offices
or saloons. Wages can be assigned
only to near relatives. Section u
prohibits garnishment of wages ex-
cept by courts acting for near rela-
tives
Section Is requires rs per cent of
each crew to understand officers Or
ders; but orders is all they need I'M
derstand. Forty per cent Of the
crew must be able seamen. This
will gradually rise to IS per cent and
had three years. service on the seas
or Great Lakes.
Each lifeboat shall be in charge of
an. able seaman. Ships more than
20*miles from shore must have life
boats and life RATS for all, except
from May Is to Sept. Is, when there
must be boats and RATS for 70 per
cent:-~-0n the Great Lakes, boats for
20 per cent and RATS for 80 per cent
are required Section Is requires
any barge losing passenger or sailor
to report it.
Section 16 and II give foreign
sailors the right to quit foreign ships
in,SU. S. harbors. All treaties re-
curing U. S. officers to hunt such
deserters are abrogated by Section s.
Section 10 provides that sailor i'll
away from home, is to be cared for
by u. S.,consul.

Sugar Beet Valuable Stock Feed

of them are and eventually all will
be. At the factories where the pulp
is now being prepared for the mar
ket, the saving in the economical
management of the business is fig
ured as an important factor in the
success of the business.
But dairymen and stockmen should
know of the value of the sugar beet
to their business. The feeding of the
wet pulp as it is rejected at the fac
tory has produced such good results
where dairy cows are concerned that
there should be no waste of this by
product. 1t is we'll worth the time
and trouble Of hauling from the fac
tory. 1t will cost but little else. AL
though raw sugar beets may be fed
to stock, allowing them to bite and
chew the roots, such practice is un-
safe on account of the disposition Of
stock to swallow chunks of the roots
and choking on them. If fed raw the
beets should be sliced fine enough to
prevent choking. Sheep and hogs
may be fattened on the loose leaves
and roots left in the fields after har-
vesting the crop. They will eat the
last bite that Is left. Many herds of
sheep are prepared for the market in
this manner in the Rocky Mountain
country and the Pacific Coast.

War and Mutton.

Just what immediate effect the
European war will have on the meat
situation in this country is problem
atical but the general opinion pre-
walls in packing circles that if the
"scrap" becomes general, as it prom
ises to do, there will be an unprece-
dented demand on Uncle Sam for pro-
visions. War means waste, and also
in the case of Europe, the diversion
OF thousands from the ranks of agri-
culture to the ranks of the soldier.
We will be expected to fill the de-
mand for foodstuffs, as there is no
other cupboard to go to that is quite
so handy. Everybody recognizes that
there will be tremendous call for
salt and picked meats and probably
more than the country can supply
providing there are means of getting
it over to them.
American mutton, of course, is not
an exportable article and there is no
chance to send 1t to feed any Of
Europe's contending armies unless
we freeze it la Australia. But it
40 NV nCSCooaIy W SAPOiI AhuNtoh Ill
times like these to have the market
boosted.
The fact that much of the pork and
beef can be sent abroad will make a
bigger hole for the mutton to fill
domestically, and the price of NUT
ton will surely seek its natural level.
II the big powers decide to fight to
the survival of the strongest it is
morally certain that meat values will
reach level in this country never
before attained. The producers will
benefit by this condition and sheep
raisers with both wool and mutton to
sell will be doubly blessed. A big
war will spread a famine over Europe
such as was never known before and
America will have to furnish the bill
Of fare for long time to come.

Live Stock Profitable.

Livestock raising in connection
with general farming conserves fer
tility elements and makes it possible
to produce more food on a given area
of land. Growing crops and breed
ing animals should be practiced on
every farm of any considerable size
II possible, as this kind of farming is
surer as a general plan and 1t saves
the farm for future crops.

BRITISH STEAMER
 BRINGS $2OO,OOO
 ABOVE FIRST COST
Shipping Boom Showed By Great Price Paid In Auc-
 ton Sale of Prize.

London, Oct. The steam CT Maritime, 5,5S6, tons, which was the North German Lloyd steamer Schlie- sien before she was captured as a British prize, recently brought at auc- tion the price of $600,0OO, an increase of $275,000 over her price of six months ago.
 A profit of $275, 900 on ship cost ing $325,O0O indicates the extent of the present shipping boom. Even a half year ago vessels were selling at a premium. But the present boom breaks all records in the history of shipping.
 There have been. other sales as re- narkable of lat7 One steamer, which was bought Xor $225,OOo at the beginning of the war,-ehanged hands at $59O,O0O. A Copenhagen owner who last January bought a 4,234 ton steamer for $41.5OZ resold her this month for $20O,O0O.
 These vessels are treighters and not passenger vessels. Except when let to the government on charters as transports, passenger ships are not particularly profitable. But the ex- Iaggerated price for freighters, often far exceeding the cost price of super annuated ships, is due to the expec- tation of huge profits.
 The clean sweep from the seas of German and Austrian vessels aggre- gating over four million tons left an unprecedented chance to rivals. Neu- tral countries, especially the ,Scandi- navian countries, have had the a.dvan- tage over England and France owing to the comparative immunity from subnserir.e attacks.

WOUNDED GERMAN
 OFFICERS MAY
 STUDY THEOLOGY
Many Teuton Clergymen Seek Other CaIlings and Churches
 Have No Pastors.

Berlin, Oct. 1-The perennial subject of the scarcity of clergyInen has. recently been enlivened by some body's suggestion that wounded off, cers who are no longer able to serve at the front take up the study of the ology. To this proposal, however, the objection is raised that 'fthe office of a clergyman requires spiritual en- dowments seldom to be found in of f1cers, else they would never have yielded to their desire to become of ficers."
 Meanwhile the scarcity of clergy men is growing greater and is expect ed to become still more pronounced. It is mentioned that the sons of cIergymen no <longer choose the min istry as their calling to the same ex- tent as some years ago. Fifteen years ago there were still 344 cIergymeen's s sons studying theology at the univer- sites to every 100000 clerygmen; but by 1912 the number had already dropped to 283. It is said that, oW- ing to the lack of clergymen, many churches in villages are being attach ed to others in larger towns, after which they have occasional services held by the clergymen from those more important churches. Not only is the tendency of young men to choose other caIlings than the min istry, but even those who choose it show a marked inclination later on to that nearly one-third of the regular school inspectors in Prussia are former clergymen; and not a few ministers also have abandoned their calling to take positions in teachers seuinaries.

SUSPECT MOVIE SWlNDLE PLOT;
 GIRLS MISSING
Unscrupulous People Prey oh Parents Believed Girls With Prospective Wealth.

In the disappearance of Helen Root, aged 15, the beautiful adopted daugh- ter of MT and Mrs. William o. Root, from their home, 923 Broad street, the police of this city may find on e of the most mysterious eases of ah- duction that has presented itself to their attention in some time.
 Though Miss Root left her home ostensibly to go to work on Monday morning and was joined by at least one other girl. Miss IrTna -Hubben WaIther, whose disappearance was previously ysTeported and who has been located in this city, her absence has not been reported to the police.
 It is rumored that another girl, of John street, also is missing from her home and that the parents have plac- ed private detectives on her trail and that a distinct plot upon the part of moving picture promoters to get possession of considerable money to sbe inherited by some of the girls is at the bottom of the affair.
 Though not disclosed publicly it is known that since the mysterious Mrs. Harry c. Cornwall at several prom inent residences in this city, the police have had intimations of attempts on the part of at least one of the Wal ther girls to leave home. Mrs. Wall ther has repeatedly asked police as slStance and last week is said to have forcfbly prevented her daughter from taking train at the depot after ap- pealing to a policeman who could not interfere in the matter with out the aid of a warrant.
 At her newly furnished home on Broad street., Mrs. Root told Aof her ostughter's disappearance with tears >dimming her eyes. She ascribes the event to the girls natural beauty and -her great desire to become a moving picture actress. Mir Root is of the belief that his daughter has fallen prey to an interruptions gang who have spurposely worked upon the girls childish mind to get her into their clutches.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1915-10-01

We took the child when but eight years old" said Mrs. Root. We legally adopted her and have since pinched ourselves that the girl could have a good education and wear fine clothing. We wanted her to become a lady She recently has become ac- quainted with persons I have not lik- ed.
 One woman in particular has Tis- tied the house, upon the preteXt of working in the same store as my daughter. I have since traced this woman and find that she never has been employed in the store.
 My daughter left home Monday morning and has not been home since. She was to meet Irnna Walther, but the Walther girl previously elud- ed her parents and was found by her mother and taken before lawyers who attempted to force a, full confession from her.
 T am told that persons who are said to be-identihed with moving picture affairs have tried to get pos session of girls that have money or are soon about to fall heir to money in this city. How far the plot has been carried into effect l do not know
 It has been reported to the police that IrmaL Walther, though not at home, has been located at a State street residence in wholesome sur roundfngs Steps will soon be taken to return her to her parents. The police, cooperating with her moth CT, succeeded in keeping her out of harms way.
 The Root girls former name was Helen Messenger or Grace LeMessen- ger She is a. striking brunette of French descent and has worked in local depsar trn ent. stores.

GERMANS CHANGING OVER GOVERN MENT
 IN POLAND CITIES
ReOrganize Communities When They Succeed Retreating
 Russian Soldiers.

Lodz. Poland, Oct - Great changes in methods of municipal ad- ministration have been made here and generally in the occupied Polish cities by the German military adrninistra- tion- The occupation found the cities existing, so far as communal govern ment is concerned, under conditions much like those in France and Prus- sia. under the so-caIled ancient re- g1ne" of more than a, century ago.
 The so-called Citizens Committee, which were, in some cities, appointed by the retreating Russians to take the places of the Russian officials who had departed, and in other cities were appointed on the initiative of the in habitants, did good work, but were hampered by the lack of a. solid foun- dation which to build. The Ger mans, therefore, as soon as it be- came possible to do so, reorganized the whole system of municipal ad- n1infstration.
 This reorganization has been based on the municipal plan of Baron won Stein, which has for more than atcen- tury been the basis on which Prus4 sian municipalities have been admin tStered- The reorganizad of the finances has been based on the plans of Kon MiQuel, from 1890 to 19O1i Prussian Minister of Finance. Incl cities are governed by a mag1stracy and aldermen, appointed from thsi citizens by the German authorities. 1 The Poles, as; the most numerous racei occupy a, majority of these positions but Jews. so far as position and cal pacity permit, have also been ap-i pointed. German residents have ns.- turalIy also been given places in pFo- portion to their numbers and econo-i mic importance.
 The cities enjoy corporate rights which were denied to them under the Russian ruIe-and can issue loans, ac-
 
 brief, do all things necessary to tha4 proper development of a city.
