In the past few weeks the Rus
sian nation has gone without dis
aster through a greater social and
political crisis than has been
threatened in a military way
through the rapid advance of the
Germans into Russian territory.
When II became generally known
throughout Russia that bad admin
istrauon and dishonesty on the
part OF government officials were
responsible for the greater part OF
n troubles of the Russian army
the people rose In anger at the
hideous destruction OF life and
property chargeable TO incompe-
nee and trickery and threatened
10 Sreak their vengence upon
those they held to be responsible.
This outburst is the strongest
evidence yet to hand that the
present war Is a war OF the
people OF Russia as n whole
rather than a political war OF
which only the rulers knew the
cause and from which they alone
were TO gain. The Russian peo-
pie are united In their desire ana
their effort TO carry this war
through TO a successful ending.
They will tolerate no leadership
which is not disinterested or
which does not promise to lead
them TO victory. for the Russia OF
today holds a rapidly awakening
nation, one In which more real

Minnesota Receives More New Citi-

Figures given out by the Minnesota
State Board of immigration show that
Minnesota again leads every state in
the Northwest in receiving cars of i'm
migrant movables for the month of
December. Figures procured from the
Minnesota Transfer Railway Company
show that during the month of De-
cember 21O cars were handled by that
Transfer, of which Minnesota received
lis cars, or more than half. Wisconsin
came next with 81, North Dakota 10,

slider this remarkable showing for
this time of the year," said Mr.. Sher-
man. "If we can pull lis cars into
Minnesota for the month of December
we can pull 200 for the month of
March. Everyone knows that the fall
and the spring are the active months
for immigration and but very little
is done during the winter months.
However, it appears that there is no
let up to the movement into Min
nesota."

ESTIMATING CROPS
Work of Bureau of Crop Estimates
Described in Annual Report Just
Published.

One hundred and forty-three thous-
and six hundred and twenty-one vol
unteer crop reporters and special cor
respondents are now assisting the Blu
reau of Crop estimates in it's work.
The annual report of this bureau, for
merly known as the Bureau of Sta
tistics, which has recently been pub
lished, speaks highly of the services
of these men, who receive no compen-
sation for their work. Their coopera-
the bureau to perform much more
work than otherwise would have been
possible.
In this connection the report con-
tains some interesting statements in
regard to the accuracy of the crop for
casts of the bureau, which were begun
in 1911. A review of these shows.
that those made in June were, on an
average, 1915 per cent from the final
estimates of the year; those in July
9 per cent; those in August, 6.3 per
cent; in September, 3.S per cent; and
in October 3.3 per cent. 1t is pointed
out moreover, that the differences be-
tween the earlier estimates and the
final ones do not necessarily indicate
inaccuracy in the calculations, but are
largely due to conditions which could
not possibly be foreseen. For example
the condition of the corn crop on Aug
ust 1 may indicate an average yield
of 35 bushels per acre. Ten days later
devasting hot wind may work such
havoc that the final yield may be only
two or three bushels. In fixing the
earlier estimates, therefore, calcula-
tions are made on basis which leaves
an even chance for the final yield to
be above or below the early forecasts.
The report also describes an impor-
tant change in the organizations bu-
reau field force. The place of State
statistical agent, of whom there were
formerly At, or one for each state, has
been abolished. Their work is to be
taken over by an efficient corps of
field agents, who will devote all of
their time to work of the bureau. The
State statistical agents devoted only
small part of their time to the work
of the bureau. Each of hese men will
be assigned to State or to a group
of small states. In addition, special
lists will be appointed for each one of
the more important crops. For exam
pie there is now a crop specialist on
tobacco, crop specialist on rice, and
crop specialist on cotton. These men
will devote their entire time to their
own particular crop production within
their own special territories.

Last Saturday shortly after the
noon hour, Albert was taken with an
attack of more than ordinary seasick-
ness and relieved his stomach of four
teen frogs, ten of which. were alive
and four dead.
Albert claims since the fall of 1918
ne has been ailing more or less and
has at various times been examined
by physicians entertaining the idea
that he was suffering with appended
tbs. But any ailnent of this character
was not disclosed.
ALTHOUGH weakened from his naus-
eating ordeal Friday he was able to-
drive to town and consulted with a.
physician and at this writing is very
much improved. Albert is a son of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Kruger of this
city.
"Dr. o. F. Johnson says that Mr..
krueger may have drunk some water
that contained frog eggs and advances
this as the only theory as to how the
frogs got into the patients system but
is at loss to know how they could
possibly live under such conditions. It
is phenomenal incident to say the
least. DR.. Johnson has two of the
frogs on exhibit in his office. The
frogs averaged about one inch in
length"

DIR. Lakey, the Boston scientist has
it doped out to his own satisfaction
that a man should reach his highest
efficiency on Jan. Is. Seems to work
out that way here all right, for on the

job of messing up any championship

bored in the hopeful breasts of the st.
Cloud contenders. The ALT score
Notwithstanding, it was one of the
best exhibitions of the game seen
here for a considerable space of per-
iods. The Sank Centre boys are not
more than ordinarily pulled over it,
however, for they went into the con-
test with everything they had, while
the representatives from the county
seat were playing their first match
game of the season and are used to
very much smaller floor. Besides,
they had not read DR.. Lakey.
The Saints displayed the prettiest
passing game that we have seen by
high schol team, but could not seem
to make their combinations effective
and relied too much on long shots
that usually failed to land. They
fought gamely to the finish of for
lorn hope and their cartel and def
ance is already in the hands of the
local Secretary of War.
In spite of the counter attractions
and the snow storm, the loyal sup
porters of the home team turned out
in sufficient numbers to relieve the
management of any financial difficult
ties.
