CAR SHORTAGE INFLUENCES
POTATO MARKET IN N. w,

The serious car shortage In the
northwest territory has had disap-
pointing influence upon the potato sit
uation. Frost damage is admittedly SER
ious in many sections and shippers at
points where there are no storage fa-
cilities for the protection Of stock, have
been caught disastrously. These con-
ditions force values higher at receiy-
ing points. The government regula-
tions as to handling potatoes by the
hundred weight are being adhered to as
closely as possible by buyers, and Twin
City territories are selling potatoes in
car lots today, October 20, on the
basis Of the following figures: white
stock, sacked, per cwt. $2.42 to $3.50 !;
red eatings, sacked, per cwt, $3.50 to
$2.4O. Liberal receipts of far western
stock are in market.
Cabbage is higher and buyers are
paying $40 perston freely for car ship
ments. The heavy demand would in
dicate a higher range Of values after
the first freeze up

LIBERTY BOND

SATISFACTORILY
Gratifying Reports Are Coming in
From Nearly All Towns in Marshall
County.-About $124,OOO Still Need
ed to Fill County's Allotment.
MARSHALL co. PATRIOTIC
Warren's Subscription Today is $4,000
and Still Growing. -Sinnot is the
Banner Township With Over $4,000
Subscribed.

The campaign for Libery Bonds will
close with a grand final round up on
Saturday next. By that time it is con-
fdently believed that Marshall county
will have succeeded in raising and even
over subscribing it's allotment of
$355,OOO. The committees in the vari-
GUS towns are hard at work, and many
encouraging reports have been received
Of the loyalty and willingness of the
people of this county to aid the govern
ment in this crisis. But $685., 200 is a
large amount to raise and as far as can
be ascertained now about $124,OOO is
still lacking. 1t is believed, though,
that by a hard, strong and united pull
during the remaining days Of the week,
that the full quota will be reached.
And it is absolutely necessary that the
entire amount be raised. Chairman H.
L. Wood Of this city, received a tele-
gram from Mr.. Rogers, the state chair
man, stating that Marshall county must
take it's full allotment. And Marshall
county can do so. If everybody does

to be oversubscribed.
Here is fine example Of the patri-
otism of a Warren soldier boy. To a
friend in this city he writes thus: "Am
only getting $40 per month now, as /
have bought 5000 Liberty Bond.
They take $40 per month from our
wages until the bond is paid. Our
regiment bought 100000 worth Of
bonds. ds.Theodore Hilleboe.''
When regiment of 1900 men, who
have placed their lives on the altar of
their country, will, in addition, also
buy $40, nan zsesth Bonds,
then, surely, a whole county Of more
than $4,000 inhabitants, who are
privileged to stay at home, should be
able to raise the lesser amount of
$685., 900 without any difficulty. And it
will be done. 4El
Warren has already subscribed $685.
90 and the list is growing.
The township Of Sinnott has raised
over $4,000 and is the banner town

Public School Notes

At a special meeting Tuesday fore
high school, voted unanimously to pur-
chase a $4,000 Liberty Bond as the
class's gift to the school.
We know of no way in which the
class could have done more patriotic
act than in thus showing their loyalty
to the government and their willingness
to help, not only the grandest country
on earth but we believe also one Of the
most righteous causes that has ever
caused nations to face each other in
battle.
When this bond reaches maturity,
those composing the Senior class will
be scattered far and wide but they will.
never regret this act Of patriotic
service to their country and to their
school.
Some Of the pupils Of the high school
have purchased Liberty Bonds and
seem proud Of the fact that they are
thus able to help. The class in civics
was much interested in one Of the first
issue, which William Dixon possesses,
but loaned to the class for observation
and study.
Due to the very unexpected winter
we have been experiencing, the foot
ball season will probably be cut short,
If not discontinued entirely.
We have recently received very In
teresting letter from Theodore Hilleboe
in which he gives an interesting account
Of his duties at Camp Cody. We shall
answer the letter. soon and try to tell
him all about the school and It's doings.
All the teachers Of our schools are
teaching patriotism by song, poems and
the flag salute.
The stage in the auditorium Of the
school has been extended and the over
sIhead lights placed as foot lights. This
needed improvement has largely been
accomplished by Mr.. johnson, our eff
lcient manual training Instructor, and
lby Messrs. Erickson and Barlow, who
at In wherever help Is needed.

Uncle Dan arrived in due time and
Billie watched for an opportunity. 1t
came that evening after dinner when

Grandma Jones said: They amt no

Well, we put the training in just the

ever she wants to; that she could make
us pay all the cost of the war; the
kaiser could tax us as he pleased and
that we couldn't help ourselves. He
could make every one pay over part
of what he earns; that he could make
the farmers pay rent for their own
farms, etc. Now, Uncle, what do you
think of that?"

beat the submarines, they may pre-
vent us from getting enough food to

case Germany would win. As matters
stand today, our greatest need is
trained men. If we had had several
millions of men with military training
in our industries and on our farms
when the war came, who could
have been called at once for service,
do not believe the kaiser would have

never again must we be caught SO
