the handling of food necessities
thus making it possible for the
consumer to obtain them at a
reasonable price and at the same
time give fair margin Of profit
to the producer or retailer. All
of these matters have entailed a
vast amount of work. Practical
results have been accomplished
in many instances as can be noted
in wheat and flour, coal, market
ing Of perishable products, milk
Investigations, etc. Then there
has been the adjustment of diff
culties between labor and the en-
ployers, liquor problems, liberty

patriotism through the medium Of
it's loyalty meetings, publicity,
etc. All of these things have
been organized and set in motion
in less than five months time.
Many mistakes have been made
and will be made, but there has
been but one motive, one object,
one patriotic idea back of the
whole work Of the Commission.

with but few exceptions Of the
newspapers Of the state and a
splendidly organized group of
county units. Nothing has been
undertaken CT carried out unless
it was first determined that it
was necessary as practical war

Extra Dividend

Notwithstanding "a decrease Of
more than $20,OOO,OO0 in the total
earnings Of United States Steel
corporation for the quarter end
ing on September 80, the corpor-
alton Monday again declared an
extra 3 per cent dividend on the
common stock, together with the
regular quarterly disbursements
OF IA per cent ON the common
and Ia per cent on the preferred
issues. These earnings totaled
$6S, 243,7S4, as compared with
500, 479,2O4 in the previous quar-
ter.
Net income of $50, 245,377 re-
presents a decrease Of slightly
more than $19,OOO,OOO and the
surplus Of $21,S24,554 is less by
almost half of that shown three
months ago, namely $4O,965,7 61.
The falling off in business is at
tributed largely to the lower
prices paid by the government
for it's supplies.

Artificial Light.

1t is quite possible to do success

fact many professional photographers

An outstanding feature of the
second Liberty Loan campaign,
aside from the amount of bonds
sold, is the fact that it has III
dicated beyond doubt that peo-
pie of German descent have come
to the conclusion that the part
ing of the ways has come for
them, between the "love of the
Fatherland" and the duty that
they owe to this land Of freedom
which has done so much for
them; the land where they and
their children will continue to
live and make their home after
the war is over, and a worldwide
everlasting peace has been estab-
liShed.
In many German communities
the subscription to the bonds was
very generous and was seized
upon as an opportunity for prov
ing their loyalty, to indicate that
they felt a real interest in the
war, the future welfare of our
country and to indicate that they
feel personal pride and interest
as part and parcel of our great
nation. Many are also realizing
that in buying bonds they are
doing something to free their
own beloved "Fatherland" from

Road Work

The bad weather and the early
coming Of what was supposed to
be winter somewhat disrupted the
roadbuilding program OF County
Commissioner McMahan. Road
crews dissolved themselves when
the first snow and bad weather
came and since then ut has been
a hard matter to again collect
them.
Foreman Quigley still has a
crew on the BURNSIDE road extern
sion north of Long Lake and is
now clearing the right of way and
grubbing a considerable stretch.
1t is thought that a year or so
from now this road will be In ele-
CANT shape for travel.
Foreman Nickson has a crew
on the highway known as the
Nickson road south OF the city
to Embarrass. This has been cut
and ditched to Bear Island Lake
and only about three miles re-
main to be finished to connect
with the Embarrass end and upon
which the crew is working. 1t
was expected to complete the cut
ting and ditching Of this portion
this fall, but the bad weather IN
terfered with the plans.
Road work has been handicapped
this year to a large extent by the
inability of the foremen to retain
crews for any length of time and
the bad weather late in the spring
and early in the fall. Commls-
sioner McMahan has made the
most of his allotment of time and
money and has much to show for
it. He knows the game OF road
building and is second to no man
in the state in getting every nick
ell out of his appropriation

Must Have Food

Failure to give practically uni
versal support to the food card
campaign may lead to tragic con-
sequences. To neglect it or be
Indifferent to is to betray the ar
mics we have created and in a
measure render futile the splen-
did show of patriotism that went
into the Liberty loan drives. The
present drive for signatures to
the food pledge cards is next in
Importance in the present crisis
to the creation Of the army and
to financing it.
To fail to share our meats,
wheat, fats, and sugar with our
allies is to weaken their powers.
They have practiced to the limit
substitutions of a kind we on this
side have not dreamed Of as yet.
If they are compelled to do more,
the people will begin to, falter in
their support of their armies, and
as a result, the fighting powers Of
their armies will begin to decline.
This will mean a prolongation of
the war, and every day the war
is prolonged will mean the need
less loss of hundreds, thousands,
of American young men.
That is why failure to support
the food conservation movement
by the signing of pledge cards
and by sticking to the pledges
means the betrayal Of our armies.
Every pledge card, therefore,
is a shield for an American
soldier.

STORE WINTER SUPPLIES

A family of five, including two
adults and three children under II
years of age, under ordinary living
conditions, should have stored for
each month of the winter season the
following food supplies: l bushel OF
Irish potatoes; y bushel of other root
vegetables such as carrots, turnips,
and parsnips; % quart cans of other
vegetables! and 20 quarts of canned
fruit and preserves. These figures are
based on estimates by the United
States department of agriculture,
which adds that most of this should
come from the perishable products OF
the many home gardens of this year.
With these figures as a basis, it is
thought that almost any family may
calculate its requirements, taking into
consideration the length of the win
ter season in any given locality. Thus,
in the south, where food crops may
be grown in the fall, the winter allow
ance may be less than for the far
north, where one must count on sup
plies for several months longer.
There is still time, says the depart
ment, for a final drive in canning,
preserving, and dry1hg. In using
dried vegetables, it may be assumed
that a given quantity of dried vege-

CAREFUL SOIL PREPARATION
HELPS WHEAT AND RYE YIELD

Special care to place the soil in good
condition in preparation for planting
wheat and rye will go a long way, says
the United States department of ag-
riculture, toward assuring the produc-
ton of the bumper crops of those
grains which the department hopes to
see harvested next year.
If winter grains are to be grown on
land devoted to similar grains during
the preceding season, the land should
be plowed as soon as the old crops are
removed, and occasionally surface cul-
tivated to kill weeds until planting
time. The blowing should be to a
depth of about Z inches. Just before
planting time the land should be har-
rowed if fairly moist and free from
weeds; otherwise it should be disked
and narrowed.
Wheat and rye may follow practi-
cally any crop which may be got out
of the way in time. Where a choice
is possible, however, it is better to
have these grains follow a cultivated
crop, preferably a leguminous crop
such as soy or other beans, or cow
peas. To have them follow corn is a
common practice in parts Of the corn
belt. In the south they may follow
cotton and in the southern Great
Plains region, the sorghum. In some
sections farmers find it a good plan
to follow potatoes with wheat or rye.
If the wheat and rye follow a Guilt
waited crop which has been kept free
from weeds, it is best not to pillow the
land. The land may simply be disked
and narrowed, narrowing to be per-
formed again just before seeding.
Under all conditions drilling is pre-
ferable to broadcasting as a method
of planting, and if the farmer has no
drill of his own, it will be worth while
for him, in most cases, to rent one.
When a drill is used less seed is re-
quired, the seed are covered better
and may be planted in contact with
moist soil, and a more even stand is
obtained.
Fertilizer is used on many wheat
farms east of central Kansas and Ne
braska, but is used less frequently in
the region to the west. Fertilizer is
not generally used in growing rye. In
growing wheat where fertilizer is
used acid phosphate is considered OF
