Reports from camp owners in this
section Indicate that there will be an
unusually heavy crop of maple sugar
and syrup this season, and from offers
already made by buyers the price
promises to be high. This is very
fortunate, flor the sugar industry here
is Of considerable Importance, and for
the past several seasons the crops have
been so light that manysugar makers
were becoming discouraged.
Jasper Fike, Of our public school,

HONOR FOR THOSE WHO
I. GO FORTH TO FIGHT
September l Is Named as Dedication
Day" and Many Counties Will
Have Exercises

Dedication Day, September 1st, or
some nearby convenient day, will be
new experience in the history of
Minnesota.
The first contingent of Minnesota's S
noble young manhood will on that
day dedicate their services to the
honor of the State and nation. Their
neighbors, friends, as we'll as parents,
in every county of the State are to
unite and with exercises Of such a
character as will meet the views of
the people in every county, will hold
ceremonies expressive of the general
recognition and appreciation by those
left at home, of the services Mime
sota's heroes prepare themselves to
perform. The names of the young
men will constitute a roll of honor
Their dedication of themselves to the
service of their country is to be &C
cepted in the same noble spirit as it
is made.
Those remaining at home are pre-
pared to dedicate themselves to their
country's service, the first element
of which<is to see to it that there is to
be no stabbing from the rear in any
county in Minnesota.
Advance reports from practically
every county in the State made to the
State Safety Commission, indicate the
general patriotic sentiment that pre-
walls. 1t seems that large majority
of the people are preparing to express
their condemnation and horror of the
propaganda detrimental to the best
interests of the country, which found
| it's expression at the now Infamous
New Ulm meeting and at similar
meetings held, or attempted to be
held, in other parts of the State.
In solemn appreciation of the sac
nation as a result of the war forced
upon it, the people are grimly de-
termined to maintain at all costs
those high ideals of liberty and
democracy which have made the
United States a,beacon light in the
worlds struggle for liberty.
Sympathetic patience with certain
inhabitants Of Minnesota who regret
ted the existence of the war no more
than did patriotic citizens, is begin
ming to be replaced by feelings of re-
sentiment. Nobody wished war forced
upon the country and patriotic citi-
zens realize that now the only way
to regain the peace all so fervently
wish is to fight the enemy with a
united front. Words and actions
which result in making Minnesota g
drag on the nations efforts instead ot
the help the State should give, are
being recognized as expression of {
disaffection which almost amounts tt
disloyalty and treason. 1t is con
fidently predicted that after these
dedication ceremonies no intelligen
and patriotic citizen will countenanc,
any local dissension whose entire eff
feet would be to the injury of ''ou,
boys" who go to the front.
The programs already arranged b!
the voluntary committees in the sew
eral counties vary largely in detail

WHEAT PRICE TO BE

The price-f1xing committee which

ports received by S. Stewart yester-

tions announced for the handling of

Radical changes in previous orders
for mobilization of the national army
recruits at the cantonment camps
were announced by the provost mar
shall generals Office Saturday.
The text of the order sent to the
governors is as follows:
"The congestion of traffic that will
be entailed in the early part of Sep
tember by the movement of the ma
tional guard into training camps
make it -inadvisable to move any
large percentage of the national army
on Sept. 5. For this reason, the war
department has communicated the
following schedule of movements of
the national army to the provost mar
shall general:
Five per cent of the quota of each
state, beginning Sept. 5; 40 per cent
beginning Sept. 10; 40 per cent be-
ginning Oct. 8, and the remaining Is
per cent as soon thereafter as practic-
able. Our telegram No. 1866 and mo-
bilization regulations detail the
methods for sending large contin-
gents, but are not altogether applic-
able to the call and movement of the
first five per cent.
SKELETON ORGANIZATION WILL
PREPARE CAMPS
"The object for calling five per
cent is to place in the camps enough
to form skeleton organization to as
sist in receiving and assimi1ating the
large contingents. For this reason
it is required that local boards send
only white men and so far as prac-
ticable that they send men with some
military experience or cooks. In
making this selection order numbers
are not controlling, but great care
must be taken not to send men whose
order of call is so late that they will
not be within the quota of the boards.
The careful selection of these men
will be of great assistance to the
orderly organization of the national
army and it is hoped that local boards
will act with this end in view.
''In order that it may not be neces-
sary to make any special railway ar
rangements and to prevent a conges-
tion of normal railway traffic local
boards should be instructed to send
approximately one per cent of their
quotas on each of five successive days
beginning September period. 1t is
thought that every board in the coun-
try will have available at least 5 per
cent of it's quota by September 5 and
therefore that it will not be neces-
