BIG PICNIC next WEDNESDAY
AT COUNTY FAIR GROUNDS PUB
Lie INVITED GOOD PRO-
GRAM PROMISED

Next Wednesday is going to be a big
holiday for town and country folks
hereabouts as they are all coming to
Little Falls to attend the first annual
Community Picnic, to be held at the
fair grounds. Morrison county folks
are going to get together for one big
time, such as will be remembered for
many day. While the picnic is being
arranged by the Farmers clubs of the
surrounding territory, in conjunction
with the local Commercial club, it will

The picnic will begin at about 10 a.
1n., and from then on there will be
something doing all the time. Two
speakers have been secured, L. Il. Bug

president of the Minnesota Federation
of Farmers clubs and is we'll known
throughout the state. The sports,
which will begin at 1880 p. m, include
tug-of war in which three or mora
community clubs will take part, a
baseball game between Vawter and
Green Prairie, foot races, jumping, po-
tato races, hitching contests, etc.
Prizes will be offered for all the
events.
People who come to the picnic should
bring along basket lunch. There will
be refreshment stand on the grounds
and those who cannot bring lunch
along will likely be able to buy a lunch
there. The dinner will begin at about
- noon.
Again let it be said that this picnic
is for the public, community get-to-
gether picnic, and all are invited to
be on hand and enjoy themselves.
Be there with your basket lunrh.

ANDERSON MILL CLOSED DOWN

Anderson Bros, who have been vp-
Grating a saw mill at Topeka this sea-
son, shut down their plant last Satur-
day. They were saving "dead-head'
logs for the Parker-Kellogg Lumber
company Of Minneapolis, and expected
to run all season, but found it impos-
sible to retain a crew in competition
with harvest demands and the draft.
Messrs. Anderson will start at once at
threshing, of which they have a great
deal in sight. It is possible that Mayo
& Joncas may take over the Anderson
mill, but that is as yet undecided.

FACTS ABOUT THE STABBING
OF MIR. FRANK FOREMAN

In a letter to Mr.. and Mrs. L. p
Foreman the facts of the stabbina
of their son, Frank, near Pineville
were fully explained.
A drunken miner came into the
office curslng and insisting on get
ting money that was not due him,
and Mr.. Foreman took him by the
arm and led him out. The miner,
it. seems, was as meek as a lamb
while being led to the door, but no
sooner had Mr.. Foreman turned to
go back into the office when tho
miner wheeled and struck him in
the back with a pocket knife.
The wound is not serious, so the
doctors say, and Mr.. Foreman will
soon be out again. ....
The miners thronged to the Fore
man residence after the stabbing to
inquire as to his welfare, and the
act Of the drunken miner was a sur
prise to everyone. as Mr.. Foreman
is one Of the most popular office
men they have ever had in the en-
ploy of the coal company.

"INCIDENTALS"

Speaking of ''incidentals" reminds
us that among the little accessories
bought by our clever Republican
Fiscal Court, out of the pocket
change" of the Taxpayers, are two
Book Typewriters for County Clerk S
office at $500 and one Fireproof
Safe for the Sheriff's office at SIS.
You see if they ever find out what
the county owes by the use of the
adding machine, then by using these
two book typewriters they can put
1t on record in print instead of hav-
ing II published as required by law.
AS to the use OF the safe we are
not so sure, but suppose it is to pre-
serve the delinquent list, as that is
about the only paper belonging to
the county that could be put into
the safe in that office.
or course a great many other
things can be classed under the head
of "incidentals." but in the absence
of an order of court for publication,
We will have to give them to our
readers in broken doses.

THE U-BOAT MENACE,

That the ruthless submarine war
fare is not only a menace to the
allies but a question of very grave
concern to America Is now conceded
on all hands. Censored reports from
Great Britain and France have min.
imized the effect of the German de.
stroyers to which the Kaiser looks
as his only hope of ultimate victory
II appears now that on February
the first the total tonnage of ocean
going steam vessels, allied, neutral
and American, available for carry
ing cargoes to England, France and
Italy, was eleven million, at most.
1t has been claimed, and is doubt
less true, that at seven million tons,
the shipping facilities would reach
the danger point, and that If reduc-
ed to five million tonnage, the allies
would be forced to seek peace, be-
cause less than that is insufficient
to supply food and other necessary
supplies. The German submarines
destroyed one million, six hundred
thousand tons of allied and neutral
shipping in February and March,
and over one million in April.
From these figures it will be seen
that unless some effective defense
against these U-boats is found be-
fsre the Germans can destroy three
million tons more, all the help
America can render will not save
the allies. Should the rate set in
April be kept up, it would take only
about thirteen weeks to place the
tonnage below the fighting limit.
This indicates that We need hasty
any systematic mobilization of our
own resources, as il seems to us it
is enough to create real anxiety
about America. Naturally, we like
to encourage, and we have been slow
to treat the situation with the Sc
robustness it demands; but victories .
in war, like those in political cam
paigns are not won claiming every
thing. Upon their recent visit, the
French and British Commissions no
doubt related the true state of af-
fairs, which, according to dispatches
from Washington, shocked the Pres
ident and his Cabinet. 1t is no
longer a question of aiding the al
lies, but the trouble is whether our
aid can be great enough to save
hem and at the same time protect
ourselves. American genius invent
I'd the submarine which has been
adopted and so successfully operat-
d bv the Germans, and We sincerely
rust that the same ingenuity may
ievise something to overcome its eff
ectiveness.

Somebody lied! A representative
of Louisville newspaper interview
ed a coal dealer of that city as to
why coal was selling at exhorbitant
prices, and the dealer said II was
because OF the car shortage, and il a
ear was allowed TO stand over night
he would hear from the railroad
early the. next morning. The next
day the newspaper man took his
camera, went over to Howard Park.
in Indiana. and photographed forty
seven empty coal cars that had been
standing there, so residents say,
quite awhile. So perhaps this ac-
counts for the present high price OF
coal-the fact that there are hun
dreds and hundreds of ears all over
tho country standing Idle on side
tracks. and the coal dealers every
where claiming car shortage. In
scme. II is plain case of robbing
tho people, ard laying ii 10 the rail-
roads.

STRAWBERRY CROP !
J. IN WARREN COUNTY
To Break Records Ready In q
Week, and Will Take
1900 Pickers.

Bowling Green, KY, May a.
Manager H. d. Graham, of the War
rem County Strawberry Association
is busy getting ready to handle the
largest strawberry patch in the
world. Warren county has an acre-
age this year of 1000 acres, and
between 900, and 700 cars are ex-
pected to be shipped from this point.
1t will take from $4,000 to $4,000
pickers to handle this crop. Because
of the cold weather the berries will
be a few days late, but they are ex-
pected to begin shipping by the 18th
or goth of this month. {,
The Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road Company at this point has Just
completed a new receiving shed and
has extended its track facilities in
order to handle promptly the crop
At Oakland, in the northern part of
the county, another loading depot
has been established, which will be
of great benefit to the growers in
that section as 1t will avoid the long
haul to Bowling Green. The depot
has just been completed and a guar
antee has been obtained that the ex-
ira cost of the depot will not be to
exceed five cents per crate. It is ex-
pected that Oakland will ship this
year between forty and fifty cars of
berries.
