BEMIDJI NAVAL BOY
WRITES OF "Y" WORK

In letter home, Vernon Lamson,
of the Fifth division, Minnesota ma
val militia, writes as follows regard
ing the "Y" hut at League Island
navy yard in Philadelphia:
"What we call the hut is a large
U-shaped building, erected inside the
yard for the soldiers and sailors and,
believe me, dad, It. 1s the best sub
stitute for home have seen in seven
months.
"A place to read and write, smoke,
talk and sing. The boys as rule
prefer it to any other place open
to us in Philadelphia. Edward Box,
Of the Curtis Publish Co., was large
ly responsible for this 'Y' and it is
said to be an exact duplicate Of those
erected in France.
"Tll bet 1t is great treat to the
boys in the trenches in France to
spend a few hours in one of these
huts. We get the very best of NOV
ing pictures and vaudeville enter
tainment. We are made welcome at
the ~ much more than anywhere
else I have been. l hope the full
$35, 100000 fund is fully raised. 1t
is the greatest service the folks at
home can do for u.s.

TAKING LIQUOR TO INDIANS
MEANS SIX-MONTH TERM

Fergus Falls, Minn., Nov. 21.-
Peter Ertz was brought before Judge
Morris in the United States court
yesterday and sentenced to six
months in the county Jail for in
Producing liquor into Indian coun-
try.
Ertz already is serving three
months sentence in Jail here for SELL
ing liquor in Wadena and his term
does not expire until February Is.
His six months term will then be-
gin, and when he gets through serv-
ing the first it is probable that he
will then be given another, as there
have been numerous charges against
him. He was released on bail at Wa
dena several months ago, and imme-
diately began business in Bluffton,
this county, whereupon the Federal
agents took him in charge.

partment, especially in the railway
construction battalions
The call is for experienced trades
men such as timber men, bridge car
penters, masons, steam filters, hoist
ing enginemen, firemen, teamsters,
track layers, construction foremen,
concrete foremen, telegraph linemen,
blacksmiths, craftsmen, surveyors,
painters, electricians, oilers, signal

RAISE POULTRYAND
EAT EGGS, URGES
CHAPMAN,P0UL1RY
B00S1ERATU.0F N,
Tells School Pupils to Have Small
Flocks to- Help Food
Conservation.
NEW MOVEMENT IS STARTED
TO HELP PEOPLE CONSERVE
Bulletins On Feed to Be Issued to
Aid Project; Figures On
Beltrami County.

"Chapman, the chicken man, OF
the University of Minnesota, who was
in Bemidji last week, addressing the
school pupils on the value OF raising
poultry as an aid in reducing the
cost Of Living, has sent the Pioneer
an article bn the subject OF eggs,
with reference to Bemidji and Bel
trami county, the figures being the
result of a survey, the same having
been made of every county in the
state. Prof. Chapman is an enthu-
siastic booster for poultry raising
and a movement has been started by
the University whereby The problems
of feeds for chickens to insure a
profit will be issued in bulletin form.
Prof. Chapman says "Bemidu hens
must help Hoover" and under that
caption he writes:
Bemidii EGG Eaters.
Bemidji consumes annually 22O
tons of eggs and 200 .'ns of poul-
try. This amount must be greatly
increased so as to help Herbert Hoo
yer in conserving the "red meat y
With it's present population Of 5000
people it has about 1000 families,
each family consuming aboYt five
cases annually or $50 dozen, and
the aggregate consumption requires
20 carloads of 400 cases each.
Most people like fresh eggs. Their
peculiar charm of "new-laidness" de-
pends much upon time, distance and
temperature. Hens that cackle In
Bemidji and on the surrounding
farms produce the freshest fruit. It
requires $4,000 ordinary farm hens
to supply the city of Bemidji. The
farm f1ocks of Beltrami county av'
erage only 40 birds today, and about
one-half of the production is used by
the farmers; the city requires the
surplus from 1000 Beltrami county
farms. This would take the surplus
of nearly all the farms in the county
and then some.
In Steele County.
'> One town In Steele county, a1tel
supplying the needs of country and
town, shipped out $3.50 cases OF
eggs, or enough to give Bemidji hel
annual supply. The town also had
surplus of 400 tons of poultry, OF
about double the amount that Be-
midi consumes. The 400 farms
around the town have about four
times as many chickens per farm az
are owned in Beltrami countq. The
price per dozen is about ten cents
higher here than in Steele county
When will Be1trami farmers give the
hen chance to prove her patriot
ism by helping Hoover?
In the meantime 1000 families
in the city should keep family flock
of from 10 to 20 birds, according tc
size of family, or property. This
must be done as war measure and
you cannot show your patriotism In
a more practical way. Liberty Bonds
and Red Cross work are in class
by themselves, but food production
and food conservation are the sin.
ews of war Keep chickens Eat
eggs Eat poultry-but poultry Is
another story.

Italians Are Stubborn.

Rome, Nov. 2l.-Un accOunC OF
the disadvantageous battle ground
offered along the Piave river, further
strategic retirement of the Italian
forces will probably be necessary, re-
liable information today states. None
of the British or French forces have
gone into action yet. :, ~ -
- The Italians are alone bearing the
full abrunt of the Teutonic-Austro as
sault. They are holding firm and in
flicting terrible casualties upon the
invaders. Their morale is the best
ever, and their spirit is good on the
front and back home. The people
are heartily supporting the war.
Germany has been playing to cause
a revolution in Italy like Russia but
will never attain that hope.

TEQI0NSARE USING

MASSING ATTACKS
(By United Press)


With the Italian armies, Nov. FL.
ALI preconceived ideas that the
Italians are husbanding their resour-

river are refuted. Germany is seek
ing some other objective in the flow
of humanity. The same tactics the
Germans used earlier in the war are
being used.
The attacks are not made except
with tremendous masses of troops.
These are specially picked and train
