Two /. w. w, agitators. one an
Italian named Giovanni Baldargi, and
the other Finn named Frank West
ina, were taken i'm hand by the coun-
" authorities this week and yester-
day they left the county rather than
face the results that might come TO
them from the people at large. who
object to their propaganda
The two men came TO Crystal
Falls last Tuesday Baldargi gath
cred a number OF his countrymen and
began to expound his doctrine, but
met with a decidedly chilly response.
One listener took violent exception
TO his talk and informed him that his
countrymen wouldn't stand for the
agitation. They at once reported 20
the officials and no further attempt
was made to start anything In this
city.
The following day they went 70
Iron River and were followed there
by Sheriff Wilson and his deputies
who, late in the day gathered the two
fellows in and placed them i'm the
county Jail

Committee on Change in Poor Sys-
TEN Given Plenty of Time to
Canvass the Question

The county board OF supervisors
met in the court house last Saturday.
Most OF the time OF the members was
taken up with matters relative TO the
increase OF the food situation in Iron
county.
County Agent Hoopingarner was
given the floor early i'm the day and
he outlined "A number Of plans for in
creasing the food supply, among them
being the securing OF seed for pros
pective planters and the increasing
OF acreage available for cultivation
purposes
Mr. Hoopingarner's principal effort
was spent in advising the board TO
enter upon a program OF land clearing
promotion. He even went so far az
to propose the establishment OF re.
volving fund to be placed at the dis
posal of the agricultural committee to
be used in assisting the farmer tc
get busy and clear his land OF stumps
Guarantee Seed supply.
The supervisors evinced disposi-
tion to 90 as far as good business
judgment would dictate in an effort
to expand agriculture in the county
but didn't sanction the establishment
OF the revolving fund
As the first specific move toward
assisting the farmer and small
planter this year, action was taken tc
put the county's Q. X. back of an ar
rangcment which Mr. Hoopingarner
made with the banks Of tile county tc
finance the purchase Of some pota
toes for seed purposes.
This arrangement is more of a ben
eft to the east side than to the west
side, although the arrangement was
made so as to cover both sides. The
reason FOR the west side having more
seed is that the Patriotic League Of
Iron River some few weeks ago made
an independent arrangement with the
banks 10 finance most of the seed.
was thought that some more may bc
needed, especially in Bates township
and IL so il can be had from the cars
that Mr.. Hoopingarner will secure.

ly CanNasses for Six Months.

When this county went dry two
years ago The Diamond Drill made a
survey each month OF the situation
as viewed by the merchants, mining
men and citizens in general. We
compiled a record OF the receipts OF

Now that wet" regime has been
entered upon and there is a fair op-
portunity TO Judge between the two
periods, this paper will take up the
making Of monthly survey again
so that faithful comparison OF con
ditions may be had.
Al the time the county went dry"
Jobs were at premium, and much
dissatisfaction was expressed by To-
cal merchants over business condi-
tions. The receipts of booze were
pointed to as evidence that there was
no elimination in its consumption.
For the last one and one-half years
workmen have been at a premium,
and as conditions will probably be
similar during the next six months
at least there will be ample oppor-

Gust Godumonsk is the name of a
Russian Pole who has worked about
the mines OF Iron county for several
years. Gust has been insistent upon
getting into the army. When the last
bunch OF recruits went out Gust was
to have been one OF them. but as he
was unable to write his name he
couldn't get his first papers and could
not go.
But, Gust had another notion. He
went to Iron River and got into Co

next TO the fact that Gust hadn't his

tai Falls to get the papers which are
necessary TO admission TO the army.
County Clerk Wall was puzzled
He had orders not TO issue papers to
any man who couldn't write his own
name. but as Gust had been so per
sistent and appeared 10 be such ex-
cellent timber for soldier, Mr. Wall
decided 70 take the matter up with
the federal authorities, so he wired
asking II he might issue the papers
under the circumstances. He receiv-
ed wire soon afterwards to issue
them.
While awaiting reply Gust stayed
about the court house where lie was
found by a reporter for The Diamond
Drill to whom he said that he wanted
TO be a soldier and wants to be sent
right to France
When asked why he wanted to be
so sent he replied, "The Germans
kill my two brothers l want to get
back at them.
Gust had two brothers in the Rus
sian army and both OF them were
killed in the battles on the eastern
front. He was fired with hatred
against the Germans and intends II
