MONEY IN RAISING
DUCKS FOR MARKET

In the last twenty years duck breed
ers have awakened to the necessity OF
improving the flavor Of the flesh by
feeding grain almost exclusively,
whereupon their efforts have been re-
warded by a steadily increasing de-
mand until today duck raising has de-
veloped into Il %flourishing industry, and
on some of the we'll known plants, es-
pecially those on Long Island, New
York, a single farm will market 10000
ducks a year.
There are numerous standard varie-
ties Of ducks, among which are the fol-
lowing: Picking. Muscovy. Indian Run
ner, Aylesbury, Rouen, Cayuga, Call
and Swedish. OF these the Peking, Mus
covy and Indian Runner are the most
widely bred and probably the best suit
ed to farm purposes. None stands
higher in popular esteem than the
white Picking. which was imported from
China In the early seventies. 1t is val
liable for raising on a large scale, and,
while naturally a very timid bird, it
may he raised more easily perhaps
than any other. 1t has q distinct type

Epigrams of Success

Let me, says B. G. Forbes in Leslie's.
give a few of the business epigrams
and notices Of a prominent st. Louis
merchant, since they throw light on
his successful methods:
The difference between failure and
success is doing a thing nearly right
and doing it exactly right.
Concentration means strength. Scat
teratiOn mean weakness. Having chO.
sen n line Of work or business, stick
to it.
Spend fifteen minutes every night re-
counting your days doings and plan
ming to do better next morning.
Always put yourself in your custo-
mer's place.
Character is the decisive force in
business.

The Year Without q Summer.

The year 1916 was known throughout
the United States as the year without
a summer. January Of that year was
20 mild that most people would have
let their furnaces 60 out had they had
any. and February was only occasion
ally colder. March and April coaxed
the buds and flowers out, and May was

By the end Of May everything perish
able had been killed by the cold, and
the young leaves had been stripped
from the trees. June was as cold as
May. Both snow and ice were coin.

MUST TURN IN FINISHED
ARTICLES TO RED CROSS
Several Inquiries Have Been Directed
to MOOrhead Chapter With Re-
spect to Use of Materials.

Several inquiries have been received
at the Red Cross headquarters con-
corning the use of materials provided
by the local chapter for persons who
desire to make articles for frienSs or
acquaintances or for young men who
have gone from certain communities
In a communication dated Nov. Ia and
written by ~Coler Campbell, director
of the bureau of military relief, to
Pres. j. A. Aasgaard, IL is given as
necessary rule, to avoid duplication
and confusion, that finished articles
made from Red Cross materials,
whether. the materials are purchased
or donated by the Red Cross, must be
turned into the Red Cross chapter and
handled through the Red Cross .regu-
lar channels.
1T is very natural that our good
knitters would prefer that their arti-
Giles go direct to soldiers at our camps
and cantonments, but 1t must not be
forgotten that one of our most urgent
needs is to supply our troops in
France, and also to assist the French
troops who are now holding up the
western front to give US time to pre-
pare. A large number of our soldiers
in France are regular army troops
who have no friends or relatives to
knit for them.
Every soldier leaving this country
for France is now provided with a
full set of knitted articles at the port
of embarkation. Besides, there are
large quantities of sweaters and knit
ted articles that are being sent to
Camp Dodge, Camp Deming, and
American Lake, Wash, where troops
from this division are now stationed.
1T is also impossible for the Red
for individual organizations or per-
SONS, consequently people wishing to
send such articles, must do so by mail
or American express"

MORE MUST RESPOND IF
STANDARD Is MAINTAINED
Call On Moorhead Red Cross For
Full Allotment Requires Every
Workers Aid.

If Moorhead chapter Of the Red
Cross is to measure up to what is
expected OF ii. 1t will be necessary
for more people to feel the call to
service and to respond to that call.
Forty pairs of socks and thirty
sweaters every week. This is orr
allotment" said Mrs. A H Costain
in her urgent appeal for more help.
We need many new workers. Those
who are now knitting are doing all
they can. But some are doing moth
Ing and they are the ones we want
TO join our ranks today.
PeFsons having any warm gar
ments made Of washable wool which
can be used for knitting purposes,
are asked to donate them to the Red
cross. Such yarn of any color is ac-
ceptable as its use makes possible a
great saving in the material that n
regularly used for socks.
The following letter received from
the Northern Division Supply SER
vice, Is an evidence of the splendid
work that is being done in this coun-
ty.
Your recent shipment of six boxes
of knitted articles has been received
and marked Grade A, which is the
very best mark we can give Moor
head is certainly doing splendid work
and we hope that the good work will
continue. The need is so great that
We wish every chapter we had, were

BODY FINDERS
SECRET Barred

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Nov 23.-The
secret of John Jeremy's success in
locating bodies of persons who have
been drowned is believed to have
been discovered, although he refuses
to comment on the theory advanced
by persons living in the neighbour
hood of Carlisle lake, near the city,
where he located a body recently
after dozens Of persons who knew
the lake well had worked for weeks
without SUCCESS.
Those who have watched him work
always wondered what certain boxes
which he carried with him, contain
ed. The finder Of bodies refuses to
work by day, but at nightfall, when
assured that no one is in the vicin-
ity, he loads his boat with gCappling
hooks, the mysterious boxes and
pushes out to the place where the
body is supposed to be. Usually,
within sh@rt time, his boat is heard
to push its nose against the beach
and he has returned with the body.
When he worked at Carlisle lake,
several persons secreted themselves
near where he found the body and
watched him. They are convinced
that he releases muskrats fastened
to strings. The animals soon find
the body and then he lowers his
graphing hooks.
The success Of his methods cannot
be doubted, for he has recovered
scores of bodies where all others had
failed.
