Session Here Are Told

The teaching Of patriotism in the
schools was the note that was
oftenest heard at the Clay county
teachers institute that began a
five-day session at the Moorhead
normal school on Monday.
At the close of the afternoon ses-
sion County Chairman A. II. Co.'S
tain gave a talk on the Liberty Loan
calling attention to the patriotic duty
of all to do their share by purChaS-
ing some Of the bonds. Mr.. Costain
gave a very clear explanation of the
necessity for the loan and explained
the difference between coupon and
registered bonds and told of the sew
eral plans under which they may be
purchased.
Miss Kelley, of the normal school
faculty, gave a demonstration lesson
in penmanship drilling the teachers
as in a first lesson of primary pupils
in muscular position and movement.
She also advised them as to the
selection and care of materials.
Miss Conant. in an excellent intro
ductory talk on language, urged the
teachers to have a definite aim in
language teaching and condemned

person has mastered English when
dramatically, and when he can
write a letter in correct form, using
good diction.'

OCT. Is Will BE day
OF PRAYER FOR ARMY
President Wilson Acts in Accord
anes With Resolution OF
Congress.

Washington, Oct. 20. - President
Wilson by proclamation Saturday
declared Sunday. Oct. %, as a day
of prayer for the success of the
American arms in the war, in ac-
cordance with the recent resolution
Of congress.
The Presidents proclamation fol-
lows:
Whereas, the congress of the
United States. by a concurrent reso-
luton adopted Oct. 4. in view of the
entrance of our nation into the vast
and awful war which now afflicts the
greater part of the world. has re-
quested me to set apart by official
proclamation a day upon which our
people should be called upon to offer
concerted prayer to Almighty God
for His divine aid in the successes of
our arms;
And, whereas. il behooves a great,
free people, nurturned as we have
been in the eternal principles of
justice and of right, nation which
has sought from the earliest days of
it's existence to be obedient to the di-
vine teachings which have inspired
it in the exercise of its liberties, to
turn always to the supreme master
and cast themselves in faith at His
feet, praying for His aid and succor
in every hour Of trial. to the end that
the great aims to which our fathers
dedicated our power as a people may
not perish among men, but be always
asserted and defended with fresh
ardor and devotion and, through the
divine blessing, set at last upon en-
during foundations for the benefit for
all the free people Of the earth;
Now. therefore, !, Woodrow Will
son, President Of the United States,
gladly responing to the wish express
ed by the congress, do appoint Oct.
%, being the last Sunday of the pres
ent month, as q day of supplication
and prayer for all the people OF the
nation, honestly exhorting all my
countrymen to observe the appointed
day, according to their several faiths
in solemn prayer that Gods bless-
ings may rest upon the high task
which Is laid upon us. to the end that
the cause for which we give our lives
and treasure may triumph and our
efforts be blessed with high achieve
ment''.

The conscripts are still pouring in

Forty Live thousand men are here
now and they take up every bit OF
the II square miles the camp con-
tains. I'm certainly watching history
in the making.
Our work S very light and we have
but one military stand" to do which
is muster, the first OF every month.
Our job is to see that the other Amer

as an officer and frequently they
speak to us as if we were human.
have found them very democratic and
as easy to approach as an ordinary
private. One officer told me that
when a man failed to salute he took
1t for granted that he was a Quar-
termaster Man without investigat-
ing any further. If anything Of that
sort occurred in the ranks an awful
mess would be made. Am pretty
well satisfied that my choice was

GOODS CANNED AT HOME
Government Never Contemplated
Such q Move ls Food Administra-
tons Announcement.
AZ Assooiareh 49,. )

Washington, Oct. ADMINISTRATION
by the department Of justice has
convinced officials that the campaign
of Misrepresentation. which has been
advising housholders not to can sur
plus foods on the ground that the
government will seize them, is part
of German propaganda.
Not only does the government lack
authority to commander household
canned goods and supplies, but 1t
never has entertained any idea Of
doing so.
The food administration is doing
everything possible to encourage the
canning of food on the ground that
IL would lessen the drain on the
commercial supply OF foodstuffs.

Using Ferns as Preservative.

1t was discovered some years ago
that the leaves Of the fern plant,
which grows almost everywhere, are
excellent preservatives for packing
food, fruit and even meat In the Isle
of Man fresh behring's are packed in
ferns and arrive on the market In as
fresh condition as when they were
shipped. A number of experiments
have demonstrated that potatoes
packed in ferns keep many months
longer than those packed in straw. In
fact, potatoes packed in fern leaves
are as fresh in the springtime as when
they were first dug in the winter.

as we'll as it is the farmers. Let S

Among the Farmers

"A successful, industrious farm
err who is up against the many
difficulties now confronting the
farmers of this and other sec
tons, handed me this article 10
print, which was written by a
real farmer of Kentucky. | re-
produce it for it hits the spot and
may cause some one to THINK. Il
is as follows:
Much is being said and writ
ten about the country's food
supply, and many very silly sug-
gestions are being made by men
who ought to know better. The
Kentucky Commissioner of Agri-
culture declared that if he were
governor Of Kentucky he would
call an extra session Of the Leg
iSlature to enact a law prohibit
ing the sale Of heifer calves for
veal, and 2 number OF other fool
things. Farmers and dalrymen
sell calves because they think
! it pays them better to sell them
than it does to keep them. If
they can t sell the calves they
will just sell the cows and then
where are you?
The fact is the present crisis
was sure to come sooner or later
and has only come more sudden
ly and appallingly because of the
abnormal conditions and the
short crop of 1916.
For fifty years consumption
in this country has been gaining
on production until it has finally
caught up with it, and the rea-
sons for this condition are so
numerous and elusive that it
would tale a book to accurately
diagnose the economic changes
and conditions that have brought
this about.
The fact is that we now find
ourselves at war with short
food supply staring US in the
face For this emergency what
the farmers of this country need
is not education, county agents
or advisors, but strong, able
bodied, willing, efficient farm
labor, at a price they can afford
to pay. They wanted this labor
badly the last two or three weeks
and they want it worse now; ard
nothing else can save the situa-
ton 1t is now or never so far
as the crop of the present year
is concerned. | learn from the
papers that my own state agri-
cultural college, and some others,
are graduating the 1916 class of
agriculture students in advance,
to send them out to tell the farm
ers how to farm. These boys
are fine young fellows, but not
many of them will be willing to
go to work at Sis a month and
their board (the pay of a soldier
helping out the labor problem,
For this emergency they had as
we'll stay in school as to go out
for any other purpose. The i'm
mediate future is sure to see a
tremendous readjustment of our
agricultural conditions.

farmers of that wonderfully fer
tile country southeast of Brinkley

notice in the ARGUS. Young
