Are You Awake

It is daily becoming more and
more apparent that this War is to
be won or lost in the solution of
the food problem. With six lead
ing nations of the world-our allies
non productive-it means that
the United States must send them
food. 1t will be sent, of course,
but no one knows better than the
food administrator that it can only
be done by wise and loyal economy
on the part of every citizen. The
production has been tremendous
but so is the demand. Production
must be still further stimulated +,
organized handling, waste
eliminated and all possible substi-
tutes used for wheat, beef, pork,

MAKE PROOF
Final Homestead Proofs Reuuir.
ed Within Five Years From
Date Of Filing.

Under a circular issued by the
general land office, it is provided
that where any entry of home
steadS in Minnesota has been
made since June 9th, 1912, that
final proof must be offered on the
entries within five years from
date of filing, and it must be
shown that three years actual res
idence has been completed by the
settlers and that at least one-six-
teenth of the land covered by his
filing must be under cultivation
beginning with the third year of
entry.
If any person fails to offer f.
nal proof within. five years from
date of filing, their entry may be
cancelled. If. it is impossible
through sickness or rough condi-
ton of the land to cultivate the
required amount on proper
showing, the land office may re-
duce the amount required to be
cultivated.
Previously proof could be
made within seven years from
date of filing, but this is now only
allowed on entries made prior to
June 9th, 1912.
1t is therefore advisable for all
settlers who have homesteads and
who have not yet proved up to
make application for final proofs,
so that proofs may be submitted
within five years from date of
entry.

Two Fires

The fire department was called
out Monday morning to the St.
Croix Lumber company warehouse
where a fire had started in the floor
under the kitchen range. The
damage was slight.
Wednesday evening the depart
ment was called to a shed on the
alley between Harvey and Conan
streets where fire had started in
some stored .fnatrasses. The fire
had gained considerable Roadway
but the department soon had the
same under control. The new
truck made the first run to the fire
and clearly demonstrated that it
could get there. The shed was
partly destroyed. It was owned by
August Tuomala.

operation he pulled the gun
towards him, muzzle first, when
the weapon was discharged. The
location of the body and the gun
indicated such as did also the
wound which caused death.
He was As years of age and has
been employed in this vicinity for
several years. The funeral took
place Monday morning from the
residence of his brother, James Nc

to the Catholic church where Rev.
Father Buh conducted the services.
A large concourse of friends escort

FUND NEEDED
Boys at Camp Dodge are In
Need Of a ReglmentaI Fund.

The 352nd Infantry of tn.
National Army at Camp Dodge, is
made up entirely of men called tc
the colors from Northern Mime.
sofa and Eastern North Dakota.
This regiment is uniformly
chosen from the population Of that
area. Although many other men
from this section are serving their
country they are scattered in the
several branches of the service.
This regiment is more localized and
representative of the section.
The regiment is badly in need of
a company fund and asks the peo-
pie of the section affected to lend
their assistance towards the
establishment of fund. This the
boys ask with full appreciation of
the many calls already met in con-
nection with the preparation of the
nstion for war.
While the government furnishes
everything a soldier actually needs
for his welfare, it does not furnish
certain articles about the barracks
which make him more comfortable,
nor such things as magazines,
papers, monographs, athletic goods
and games. Good, wholesome
food is furnished but such little
knick-nacks, dear to the palate of
the young man must be provided
by himself or the regimental fund.
In the established regiments,
such things are bought from
Company Fund. The company
build up snch a fund from the
operations of a barber shop, from
its share in the profits of the
canteen or receipts of the regi-
mental band and other sources.
This regiment however, has just
been organized and lacks the be-
ginning and also the sources of
income.
The regiment feels that it will
have to look to the people to get
the start. Later the regular chan
nels will supply the funds. The
care and use of these funds are
provided for-by the Army regula-

State as Landlord.

Sacramento, March 9.-The propo-
sition of the state buying the vast
acreage of lands to be directly bene-
fitted by the Sacramento river flood
control and reclamation project is
drive in Rumania.
the most important issues before the
legislature. The idea originated with
Senator William Kehoe of Eureka,
who sees a chance for the state to
secure a substantial annual income
through this investment. Under the
present arrangement, through which
the state is to give S5,60O,OO0, the
government 100000 and property
owners in the Sacramento-San Joaquin
drainage district about $30,00O,OOO,
the lands of private property owners
would be reclaimed and greatly en-
hanced in value.
Kehoe believes it would be of great
interest to the whole state if the
state should buy these unreclaimed
lands at their present low value and
get the benefit of the increased value
through the flood control and recla-
nation features of the project. he
believes the lands could be leased out
by the state for thousands of dollars
annually, the rental money to be Civ
en- toward the support of schools
throughout the state, thus relieving
the general property tax for this pur-
poss. e.
Senators Jones, Benson and lnman
are among the legislators who have
voiced their interest in the proposal,
and Jones is preparing resolution
to have Kehoe's idea fully investigat-
led.
