BELIEVE IN EDUCATION.

frank TOmnlOnns, n son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Tomalonns, of FoidahJ
township, enrolled In the Warren
high school Monday.
There is nothing strange or won
derful about this little item, but
from the following lines the read
.er will be able to understand why
we have seen fit to publish 1t I'm
the Sheaf.
Mrs. TOmalOnas came to the city
Monday and made arrangements 40
that her son would be able to se-
cure an education. While I'm the
Office Of superintendent Mitchell,
she explained the reason why her
tsFrankie' should learn something.
She stated that she and her hus-
band were Russians and since their
coming to this country, they have
had to work hard to make a living
and found little or mo- time to pick
up an education. This handicap
made them realize what a serious
thing 1t is to be uneducated. In
her own words she said, sIe and
my husband dunno nOthin but our
frankie we want him to learn
sOmethin."- When poor, -unedu-
Gated Russian farmers look upon
education In this light. surely there
is no reason why any youth I'm the
valley should be without a high
school educatiOn.

OLD WHEAT GRADES
TO BE RESTORED.

st. Paul, Sept. 1S.-The Minnesota
railroad and warehouse commission
recommended suspension of the feder-
al inspection rules as to wheat grades
today in reply to an inquiry from
Food Administrator Hoover of Wash
Mgton, and added its opinion that the
federal rules are unfair to the farm
ers.
81 The commission in its reply, said:
The Minnesota commission heartily
approves suspension of federal grade
rules on wheat.
These rules resulted in the farmer
getting less for his wheat than it is
worth. They cannot be fairly applied
by the local buyer and causing serious
among grain inspectors,
receivers and producers.
1The suspension in all probability
will result in wheat moving more free
" to market and better prices to the
farmers. I,
I'VE Will restore substantially the
old inspection system, which was fair
to all interested. The change Of grad
ing rules, will not injuriously affect
the public because only a small per-
centage Of the crop has been moved
and that has been bought by millers."

music, farm and garden sub
jecrs, household economies and current
topics; where they may browse IN
fiction, drama and poetry; or where
they may obtain ideas for entertain
ments, or material for oratory, declam-
Eatory, and debate work The librarian
viii be present to help find the book or
topic wanted. However, as yet. no
books can be taken from the library by
people out of school, as the pupils
make so much use Of them in English
classes. The library is provided with
tables and chairs for the accommoda
tion of outsiders.

KEROSENE STOVE
STARTS BAD BLAZE
Damage to Znerold Residence, Friday
Afternoon Amounts to About
$500.

What might have been very des-
tructive blaze, broke out in the Mrs.
Ella Znerold's residence in Lundgren's
addition on Friday afternoon, but the
effective work of crew of carpenters,
who were at work on a new residence
near there, prevented the fire from des-
troying the house. The fire depart
ment responded to the call in their US
ually prompt manner, but by the time
they were on the scene the blaze had
been brought under control by the car
penters.
The fire originated from a kerosene
stove, which was burning in the kit
chen. while Mrs. Znerold was out of
the house. By the time the blaze was
noticed it had badly scorched the in
terror Of the kitchen and had worked
its way up to the second story along
the stairway. The amount OF damage
will total about $500.

HUNTING SEASON
ss OPENED SUNDAY.

The hunting season for prairie
chickens and ducks opened Sunday and
a large number of local nimrOds took
advantage of the day to go in quest of
the elusive prairie fowl They were
not as successful this season as in the
past years, owing to the scarcity of
game The game limit of prairie
chickens was only five birds and there
were very few sportsmen, who return
ed with this number Some parties of
three and four hunters did not succeed
in getting any birds and some returned
with only three or four. All the re-
ports are very discouraging to local
hunters and they are beginning to urge
a closed season for several years. One
of the chief causes for the scarcity of
birds is the dry season.
County Auditor Lundgren issued 103
licenses to hunt, while in former years
nearly twice that number have been
issued.

STATE WILL ADD TO
WINTER WHEAT AREA,

Minnesota has been asked by the
federal government to increase its win
ter wheat and rye area, making the
1918 crop acreage larger than that for
1917, and g. p. Bull, secretary of the
State Committee OF Food Production
and Conservation, says that in all pro-
liability the state will do even more
than add ten per cent to this years
acreage. The acreage this year was
Il 900 for winter wheat and 412, GOO for
rye, and the demands for seed point to
an interest on the part Of many farm
ers in both grains.
Rye, says Mr.. Bull, is perfectly
hardy throughout the state and is a
good cash crop. Therefore farmers in
every part Of the state are asked to
plant rye as part Of his grain for
1918.

WITH COMPANY .1'
AT CAMP CODY
Camp Cody, Sept. s, 1917.

s-4l
Received the Sheaf last Monday
morning. The paper was more well
come than ever, because we have very
few papers to read. The Y. NJ. G.. A. i
keep nearly all the papers which are of
interest to the companies in the third
regiment. They also keep numerous
magazines which are on hand for the
boys to read.
Our life in camp is very much differ
ent than what it was at Crookston.
Many people may think that we are
being worked harder, but we are not.
Instead Of seven hours Of drill we are
given four. We have school from one
thirty in the afternoon until about
three o'clock. Sometimes we have only
half an hour of school. In school we
are instructed along the line of salut-
ing and also the proper method of car
ing for our rifles. We are also given
instruction as to our duties while on
guard.
The camp is being built up rapidly
so in short while we will be perfectly
at home. We nave not as yet been is
sued our tents, but when they come we
will fssf sn more hanaa- Thes

stalled now so we will have lots of
light, too. We don't need a great deal
of light because the moon comes up at
about eight p. m. and the evenings
are very beautiful.
! Nearly every night we see clouds
coming up. They remind me of the
fall rains in Minnesota. Here we get
no rain. If anything we get little
wind. When the wind is very strong
we have dust storms that resemble a
| genuine Northern blizzard as far as
seeing ahead is concerned. Last even
ing we had dandy sand storm. That
is what we thot but old timers here
said that was only a mild one against
what we will see. ----s---------.s
