Langdon, N. Oak,

Henry Ohlheiser was a Wales CAL
Ter Thursday, spending the afternoon
attending to business affairs. His
farm suffered only a slight amount
of damage in the hail storm that re-
Gently left the crop of Dresden and
Mimic townships in bad shape-the
damage varying from a total to a
fifty per cent loss.
Fred Baldwin is again making
Langdon his headquarters since re.
turning within the past week from
Imperial, Sask., where he has been
helping Alex. Roney line up his
farming outfit since removing to Sas-
katchewan from this county last
spring. Fred intends making a stay
here through the harvesting and
threshing season.
F. B. Smith since fair week has
closed up his restaurant and lunch
counter business at the old stand of
theNew England cafe The family are
intending to leave Langdon shortly,
but in the meantime "Major' Smith
is now chef in charge of the three
squares a day that the Co. E. boys
are enjoying at their camp on the
fair grounds.
E. D. Stewart and family num-
bered among those from Langdon who
left the end of the week for a short
stay in camp on the shores of Fish
Lake. Others from Langdon who are
enjoying an outing there are Rev.
Hubbard and c. E. Johnston, both be.
ing accompanied by their wives and
families. Mr.. Stewart returned Mon.
day as the work at the experimental
farm demands a large share of his
time and attention at this season.
VIM. Wiltsie learned through let.
tiers that have reached him during
the week from Rainton, Sask., that
a windstorm which assumed the pro.
portions of a tornado had swept the
buildings away and destroyed the croF
growing On his farm. Rainton is ir
the Regina section of Saskatchewan
and it is only a few year since it was
the scene of a disastrous windstorm,
at that time resulting in the loss Of
many lives.
The city council is to hold an ad.
journed meeting Monday evening
when the matter of a city system OF
~waterworks and drainage will be the
main topic under consideration. CT.
vii Engineer Arnold. who has beer
conducting an analysis of Langdon's

Women Offer Services


From nine leading womens colleges
has come d united pledge OF public ser
vice. The National Woman Suffrage
Association is organizing clubs to train
women IN agricultural work. to provide
employment and teach loyalty to immi-
grants.
Women who can take the places OF
mon an factories and other industries
are being enrolled by the National
League Tor Woman's Service and the
National Council Of Women. which cm
brace IN their membership the National
Association Opposed to Woman sui
fragc. the Woman's Christian Temper
auce Union. the General Federation oil
Womer's Clubs, the Congress Of Moth
crs and many other similar societies.
Both the League TO Enforce Peace
and the American Peace Society have
lined up behind the President. In every
state an active campaign TO aid recruit
ing is being carried on by the National
Committee OF Patriotic Societies, whose
membership includes the Daughters Of
the American Revolution, the National
Civic Association. the Boy Scouts Of
America. the Army League and the
Navy League.
Governors Pledge Aid
From the Governors of most Of the
states have come fullest assurances OF
state aid. New York and other states
are conducting definite state moblliza-
tion operations. Massachusetts IS
among the states which have made
large individual defence appropriations.
Al mass meetings everywhere the
large and small communities have pre-
pared to do their bit and have pledged
what they have to the President. The
patriotic awakening has swept every
corner of the nation, stirring alike the
patriarchal redman, who has sent his
terse assurance of allegiance, and the
alien immigrant, who has besieged the
naturalization Office with a new eager
ness TO become an American.
II is this awakening of Americanism
which the President has told his friends
and advisers he prizes above all the
many other assets of national defence.

My coming into the bitches of the
Irrigation District, together with the
assertions of the engineers that there
are no prospects of water short
age this summer, should be sufficient
evidence to those whose fears have
ceused them to circulate rumors o.
approaching drought of much sever
ity to cause them to ponder over the
advisability of Withholding their
bowls until they are hurt.

oring to sell the bonds which the pe0-
pie of the county voted in the spring.

When the rancher cannot get W.

but with reasonable assurance tina
the maximum demand upon the sys-
tenn can and will be furnished
throughout the summer, there Is
no cause for complaint-no evidence
that the present system is grossly In
adequate
Engineer Anderson shows that to-
day IA per cent Of the maximum de-
mand is being supplied to the sys-
tenn. This percentage Is increasing
daily, with the Weir only one-quarta-
constructed. The increase is due
partially to the portion of the weir
already constructed, partially to
a slight increase in the volume Of
the Colorado river, but more to the
work of the new dredge, which, with
the weir across the liver, viii give
the valley plenty of water.
With the fact in mind that one o.

Hog Cholera in Renville County

Hector Mirror:-Hog cholera has
again broken out in Renville county
and at present there are several cases
in Melville and Palmyra townships.
Two cases have also been reported
four miles north of Bird Island in
Kingman township. In all eighteen
herds have been found to be infected
to date.
This outbreak gained a little head
way on the start due to the fact that
some who had infection in their herds
did not realize that it was cholera
and did not report the outbreak and
hence it gave chance for the spread
ing of the disease. This shows every
one the necessity of reporting all out
breaks at once in order to save as
much of the herd as is not infected
and also to prevent the spreading of
the disease to neighboring farms.
Hog cholera is more severe in hot
weather and farm work also favors
the spread of the disease. Exchange
of work is common among the farm
ers and threshing crews go from one
place to another, thus infection is
liable to be carried.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1917-08-31

Then, with a yield of 10 bushels,
it was pointed out that the actual
cost was $2.01 a bushel and that
1921 a bushel would yield 3 per cent
profit; $2.51 per cent; 1921 an 8
per cent, and 1901 a 10 per cent
profit.
Dean Thatcher was also authority
for the statement that SO wheat
means SIS -four. He said also that
the state estimate is for an average
crop of IA bushels to the acre in
Minnesota.
Mr.. Simonson blamed prohibition
of futures trading and demoraliza-
ton of the wheat market in the alb
sence of government control for
heavy losses to farmers and local
grain dealers. Investigation by the
South Dakota department of market
ing, he said, showed these losses were
from 80 to IS cents a busheI to the
farmers and from 20 to SO cents a
bushel to the local dealers.
The South Dakota wheat crop this
year, Mr.. SimonsOn estimated. will
yield averages of II bushels in north
ern and rs bushels in southern coun-
ties.
Warden Talcott said that North
Dakota will produce six bushels of
wheat on the average on something
over 100000 acres. Sixteen coun-
ties have fair crop, he said, but II
others have neither food nor feed"
Governor Burnquist was thanked
for his interest in the welfare of the

luton presented by Mr.. Rehnke.

convinced are disposed to be reason
able. Inasmuch as 1t is determined
to fix the price of wheat and not reg
alate the price of many other prod
ucts, farmers are bound to feel, and
justly so, that they are being dis
eliminated against unless fair price
is named. Have travelled over a large
portion of the wheat producing dis
