what is known as the franl1ing privilege, or
the right of public men to send an unlimited

intended originally to cover official communi-

monstrosty which tolerates the carriage, free

who has been taken into a family
owes more love and devotion to his
kind foster parents than one born

zen who as been taken in and Civ

and devotion to the country Of his

the following resolution which was
adopted by rising vote:
Whereas, our country has become
involved in the World struggle be-

Whereas, our people and Govern
ment have ever been the champions
of Democracy;
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved
by the people of Warren, in mass

hereby earnestly and heartily COM
mend our Congressman, Halvor
Steenerson, and our Senators Knute
Nelson and Frank B. Kellogg, for
the stand taken by them in uphold
ing the position Of our Government
as proclaimed by our Chief Magis
trate, President Woodrow Wilson.
Be it further resolved, that we
and each Of us de hereby, as
Americans, faithful to American
ideals Of justice, liberty and hu-
manity, and confident that the Gov
ernment has excerted it's most earn
est efforts to keep us at peace with
the world, declare our absolute and
unconditional loyalty to the Gov
ernment Of the United States, and
pledge our support in protecting
American rights against unlawful
violence upon land and sea, in
guarding the nation against hostile
attacks, and in upholding interna-
tional right. And for the support
of this resolution with firm re-
lance on the protection Of Divine
Providence, we mutually pledge to
each other, and to the President
: these United States "our Lives,

taken the steps that makes this

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE
1917 POTATO CROP

There has not been a time in
great number Of years when good
judgement is needed in potato grow
ing more than is needed this spring.
With. an abnormal seed price, a
grower is not justified in planting
any more acres than can be insuf-
ed to produce a crop. It would be
folly indeed for a farmer to plant
twenty or thirty dollars worth of
seed potatoes On land subject to
overflow. It would be folly for a
farmer to plant high priced seed po-
tatoes on poor land or land that
would produce only a fair crop at
best. A potato grower in 1917
should plant his potatoes On the
best land on his farm, land that
will give the highest possible yield,
land which is or can be fertflizedi
with well rotted barnyard manure.
In fact every means such as the
use of clean, sound seed, seed trea'-
ment, good cultivation, timely
spraying. etc, should be employed to
secure maximum crop from the
acres planted. Economical prodnc-
tion will come only with high yields
on small acreages, rather than low
yields On large acreages.
There will be tendency this wear
for growers to economize on seed
and use inferior seed stock. The
grower should not yield to this
temptation for good sound seed wilt
bring in greater net returns in pro-
portion when seed is high than
when seed is low in price. The
grower instead of using the best po-
tatoes for the table should pick out
and use the extra large, the small
and misshapen potatoes for the
table and save the uniform medium
sized tubers Of good type for seed.
A grower may sort out the unde-
sirable, sound potatoes and sell
them for good price and save
only the best for planting. It has
been found at the Crookston Sta
tion that the yield of potatoes could
practically be doubled by careful
selection Of the seed potatoes in
the bin.
A good yield can be insured also
by treating the seed potatoes for
diseases such as scab and black
speck or little potato disease. If
the potatoes are diseased the yield
can sometimes be doubled by care
full seed treatment. Seedt9treatment
pays even though diseases may not
be apparent. Corrosive sublimate
when put in solution at the rate of
IL OF. to Is gallons of water makes
the best dipping solution. It is
poisonous and should be handled
with care and should be put in
wooden vessels only. The seed
should be soaked II or hours, then
drained, cut and planted. The
cost Of treating can be reduced by
making these operations continuous.
With corrosive sublimate at four
dollars per pound, the cost of treat
ing sould not exceed twenty-five or
thirty cents per acre
