MORE. 300 HITTERS
Is Cry OF Major League Owners and
Players.

Unless the crop OF 800 hitters in
creases this season, it is more than
likely that the powers that be in
baseball will get down to the serious
business CT devising ways and means
to increase batting. The problem
was discussed at some length during
the winter, but no move was made
TO help the batters out.
Many baseball men are strongly
against the idea of placing more re-
strictions on the pitchers. but they
believe batting should be increased
and they want to bring this about by
some other means
The baseball squirrels" can now
get busy.

FARMER MUST SOLVE
FOOD SHORTAGE
Banker Says There Are $4,000, 900
OF Unused Acres in the N. W.
Advocates the Planting of This
Land to Potatoes and Corn and
Raising More Pigs and Sheep.

t1.sf.4
An extra acre of potatoes
planted on one farm will mean
a winter supply Of potatoes for
20 families.
An extra acre, Of corn on each
Minnesota farm will mean
gain of $5,50O,0 in total
profits.
Ten additional hogs on each
northwest farm will mean
gain of $60,000,000 in total farm
profits.
A few additional sheep on
each northwest farm wilp mean
corresponding gain.
These figures are from state
ment issued by John II. Rich, chair
man of the ninth district federal re-
serve bank, Minneapolis, urging
farmers of the reserve district,
which includes virtually the entire
northwest, to take full advantage of
the opportunity now given them to
go to the rescue of famine threat
ened humanity and at the same time
add to their own profits.
"Plant more potatoes and corn,
raise more hogs and more Sheep" is
the keynote Of the statement.
Salient points emphasized by Mr..
Rich are:
Of 96,000,0OO acres of farms in
Minnesota and North and South Da-
kota, 36,000,00O acres. is unimproved
and unused.
These figures and other data in
dicate conclusively that part of the
present high cost of living is charg-
ed directly to a shortage of staple
and essential articles of food.
World conditions offer the north
west farmer guarantees that there
will be substantial reward for
everything he can add to his nor
NAL production this year.
Bankers and business men who
help farmers provide themselves
with young stock and tested seed
and give them other assistance will
be performing a genuine public SER
vice.
The farseeing banker will not
hesitate to extend credit to any
farmer qualified to add to his acre
age or increase his livestock pro-
duction.
Because of the worldwide food
shortage and the many millions OF
men withdrawn from European agri-
culture to fill the armies, Mr.. Rich
finds that ''it appears safe to- as
sumo that price levels will be very
favorable" even with greatly in
creased crops harvested in the
northwest this wear.

Argyle have definite plans for her

Because of the condition of the

Tom Lohner returned last week
from Minneapolis, where he has
spent some time perfecting his pa
tent on sleeve for gasoline engines.
By means Of this invention the
necessity Of reboring cylinders will
be entirely done away with. Mr..
Lohner will remain here until June,
when he will leave for Detroit,
Mich. and other cities prominent in
the manufacture Of automobiles and
gasoline engines, with a view Of
placing his patent on the market.
His many Warren friends hope that
he may reap a big fortune from
his invention, which undoubtedly
possesses great merit, as prominent
financiers are giving him all the
assistance he needs in developing
the new improvement.

SEEDING HAS COMMENCED

The snow disappeared quickly
from the fields this year without
making a great deal Of water and
the soil in most fields is already in
good condition for working. That
brings the seeding season about two
weeks earlier than last year and
gives farmers good chance to put
every available acre into crop. The
Spaulding Farm started seeding oper-
ations on their big farm yesterday
Most farmers have started dragging
the fields and will be busy putting
the seed in the ground this week
if weather continues favorable.

PIONEER WOMAN OF
CITY PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Anna Christina Swandby,
one Of the good pioneer women of
this city, passed away on Tuesday
morning, April 2, 1917, at 1:30 a.
M, at the ripe old age Of nearly
80 years.
Deceased was born in Fering, Nor
way, June 20, 1887, and in that
country she grew to womanhood and
was married. With her husband and
children she emigrated to America
in 1882, arriving at Warren, then a
small new village, on July 18th of
that year. In the fall Of that year
the father died, leaving the support
of the family to the mother and the
older children. By dint Of hard
work and courage that is char
acteristic/ Of the noble women of
her native land, she managed to
keep her family together and give
them a good bringing up, until they
could care for themselves.
Eight living children now mourn
the good, kind mothers death, they
being as follows: Daughter Assora,
who lives in Norway; Mrs. Agnes
Blawd, Of this city; Mrs. John B.
Nelson, Of town of Bristlet; Miss
Laura Swandby, who lives in Mon
tana; Mrs. M. O. Sortedahl, of Red
Lake Falls; Alfred C. Swandby, Clerk
of Court Of Marshall county; Mrs.
C. e. Grinder, wife of the Register
of Deeds of Marshall county; and
H. A. Swandby, of Fosston, MINI.
Besides these children, many grand
children and a large circle of friends
also mourn her demise.
Mrs. Swandby was a faithful
member of the United Norwegian
Lutheran church in this city and as
long as her health permitted was a
constant attendant and an active
worker in the church and in the
Ladies Aid. During the past six
years she has been confined to her
bed almost continually by rheuma-
tism. She was woman whose de-
light was to serve others and she
will be remembered by many for he1
kind and generous deeds.
The funeral will be held from the
United Lutheran church on Thurs
day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and
from the home at o'clock, Rev. N
G. w. Knudsen officiating.

WARREN HIGH SCHOOL
WINS TWO DEBATES
One at Stephen and the other al
Warren.

The question debated was that Of
the advisability Of requiring the il
literacy test of immigrants to this
country.
Sinclair Macarthur, Geo. Copp and
Florence Hanson, upheld the afirma-
tive of the question at Warren,
while at the same time in the high
school auditorium at Stephen, Roger
Sandberg, Raymond Westman and
Clifford Nelson, debated the negative
side of the same question.
Both the Stephen teams fought
hard to win, putting up much splen-
did argument; but the Warren de-
baters won out in each case.
Warren may we'll feel proud of
her representation in debate this
year.
Stephen has won from us in bas-
ket ball but we have turned the
tables upon them in debate.
At Stephen, by granting the need
for restriction Of immigration, the
Warren team was able to spend
their entire time in proving the
weakness of the illiteracy test as a
means to that end and by showing
the superiority Of the Binet-Simon
tests. The Stephen debaters were
unable to overcome the handicap,
having spent most Of their time pre-
pairing to prove that restriction is
necessary.
The Stephen debaters were all
girls. while those Of Warren were
all boys with the exception Of one.
We believe that the greatest bene
fit that will come from these de-
bates this year will be very
marked interest in work of this
kind next year.
There is nothing more valuable in
preparing young people for the
duties of intelligent citizenship than
the thoro study of current topics
that such work requires.
For renewal Of the interest in
debating this year, Miss Ringheim
and Mr.. Selleck deserve special
credit for the hard work they have
Gene.
H. L. Wood Gives s25.OO for Debate.
In this connection, we are pleased
to announce that one Of our most
public spirited citizens, H. l.. Wood,
has given $25.00 to be used to ad-
vance debating in the public schools
during the coming year.
He also agrees to give like sum
for the two years afterwards pro-
viding the school will merit such
gift by the interest shown in such
work.
When O. H. Taralseth instituted
the Declamatory contest, we believe
he little realized the benefit that
would be derived from his action.
In the same way, we are sure,
will the generous gift of Mr.. Wood,
be used to benefit scores Of deserv-
ing young people in the future.
