A lady friend who had been a
guest of Miss Mile Groskruetz the

A large number of friends helped

Cow Prices to be Much Higher

Cow Prices to be Much Higher
A. J. Mcclure of the extension
division of the Minnesota College of
Agriculture looks for the prices of
COWS to be much higher next spring
than they were last spring, if the
war continues. He, therefore, urges
farmers to keep their COWS, especial
ly in northeastern Minnesota Mr..
Mcclure says:
Last spring farmers in north
eastern Minnesota bought common
COWS at from SIS to SIPS, and grade
COWS for as much as $175. Now,
with a shortage Of feed, COWS are
being sold from the same section of
the state and many are going to the
stOckyards to be slaughtered.
ITO sell a COW that you will need
again next spring, or that will be
needed in your neighbOrhOOd, will
surely prove a loss. If the war con-
tinues, it is possible that the price
of COWS next spring will be double
that Of last spring. If you need all
the COWS and heifers you have, it is
a public duty to keep them. A small
farm in the timbered section of
northern Minnesota without COWS is
almost without means Of living for
the owner, and surely without suffi-
cient means of helping the country in
the present emergency.
''You can buy hay this fall much
more easily than you will be able to
buy COWS next spring. We believe
it good business to mortgage cows
if necessary, to buy feed. A warm
barn will save feed. Fix your barn
so that the temperature will not get
below freezing in the coolest wealth

This girl thousands of feet up in
the air, few from Buffalo to WASH
ington, distributing Red Cross liter
ature on the way. SHE COULD
JUST AS WELL HAVE DIS
TRIBUTED DYNAMITE.
A nice, modest little face it is,
greeting Major Howard Of the United
States army. But back of the quiet
face there is a determined, active,
fearless female brain.
As you look at this picture you
realize that conditions are changing
in the world. What was formerly
looked upon as unimportant-es-
pecially in war-becomes now ex-
tremely important.
This girl, from her flying ma.
chine, with good aim, might sink q

Kaiser and his general staff were
planning trouble, she could wipe
them all out with one dynamite mes
senger, dropped from the air.
Miss Stinson weighs about one
hundred pounds less than the aver
age powerful sOldier-and therefore
is one hundred pounds BETTER as
an air fighter, for in the same
machine she could carry one hundred
pounds more dynamite than the
heavier man could carry, and a
hundred pounds of dynamite makes
. difference if it explodes near you.

You ask, perhaps, whether women
could do as well in flying machines

TOO MANY OPERATIONS.

It seems to us that doctors in all sections of the
country are getting entirely too liberal in the use
of the knife. A man sends for his physician and
the next thing he is landed in a hospital attended
by two or three trained nurses dressed in white
imitation of what he may hope to witness in
the great beyond. Chloriform is administered,
and a wonderful operation is performed. This
operation may be a grand success and still the
patient may not live to tell the tale. A financial
success from the doctors standpoint at any rate.
Operations have become so frequent in some Sec
tons that law has been passed in some western
states requiring the surgeon on performing an
operation for appendicitis to send the removed up
pendix to the state laboratory to determine wheth-
er or not patient really needed the operation

Newspaper reports sent broadcast over the
country from Washington tell us that there are
q hundred thousand spies Of. foreign governments
in the United States, and that these people are
daily collecting information Of our defensive
measures and forwarding that information to
their home governments. If there are that num-
Der of spies in this country our own government
officials must be aware Of the identity OF at least
4 portion of them. And if their identities are
known why is it that they are still at large and
pursuing their despicable calling to the detriment
Of the United States? Why are they not behind
bars, where they should be, and where they would
be if it were any other country but ours? We DO
not need traitors or spies in this country, and the
sooner they are kicked out or jailed or hung the
better it will be for our welfare. The man
who can not respect and protect our flag and our
country has no legitimate place in our midst, and
we do not want him. Get out!

SAVING DAYLIGHT.

In the stress of the European war many in
Inovations have been born, and among them the
familiar daylight saving" plan, which consists
of deliberately setting all clocks an hour or more
ahead at a certain time in the spring, in order to
gain more of the suns rays, thereby preventing
the consumption of coal to make artificial light.
Later in the fall, the clock is pushed back an
hour, and the correct time regained.
Take this locality, for example. In the spring
and summer most of us continue to sleep at least
an hour or so after the sun has brought complete
daylight. Likewise, most of us continue to stay
awake an hour or so after the withdrawal of the
same rays has left US in the dark. If we had got
ten up one hour earlier we would have had an
hour more of daylight, but we could not have
completed our day, dependent as it is on others,
any quicker. But if we push our clock ahead one
hour, and everybody in the community gets up at
the same clock-time (but an hour earlier by sun
time) we would finish our usual day when the sun
was one hour higher than otherwise. In other
words, we would have bad an hour of daylight.
The idea has much to commend it. Germany
was the first to adopt it, and twelve other nations
followed her example. Now, the Borland bill be-
fore Congress provides that at two am. on the
last Sunday in April all clocks be pushed one hour
ahead, and on the first Sunday in September be
pushed one hour back-that is, to their rightful
place. This gives clerks, and others working in
stores a longer afternoon. It should help the
baseball season, it should give more recreative
enjoyment to thousands.

Speaking Of road building, the Plano, ILL.,, News
is correct in the following: when a permanent
road is constructed, the present generation builds
for the future. Its children and it's grand-chil-
dren will have the use and benefit of the road.
Generations to come will enjoy it. For that rea-
son, the cost Of the roads construction should not
fall wholly on the present generation. Those who
are to make use of it after the builders have
passed on should be required to pay something
for the privilege and the benefit. Everyone wants
permanent roads and wants them now. To build
3 complete system at once and pay for it out OF
current revenues would, however, be too great a
burden"

know how to rid his orchard of grasshoppers. The
