new CITIZENS OF
UNITED STATES
Over a Score of Foreigners Take
Oath of Allegiance i'll District
Court Before Judge Grindeland. :
Each Presented With Fine U. S
Silk Flag By Alfred C. Swand-
by, Clerk of Court.

Twenty-Five persons of foreign
birth appeared in Judge Grindeland's
court on Tuesday to pass the re-
quired examination for admission to
full citizenship Of the United States.
R. K. Doe, of Duluth, U. S. natural
ization examiner, was present to
examine the applicants as to their
knowledge of the elementary prin-
cipls and form of our government
and their fitness for citizenship.
Each applicant was vouched for by
two witnesses who had known him
for five years or more. Many stu
dents of the high school and their
teachers were among the spectators
which filled the court room. The
questions asked by Mr.. Roe were
simple, yet searching and quickly
revealed how well or i'll posted the
applicant was on matters connected
with local, county, state and nation
al governmental affairs. A question
that the examiner asked nearly
every applicant was whether he
read any English papers, local or
otherwise, and in many instances

COMMUNITY DAY
AT NEWFOLDEN

Last Saturday was the warmest
day of the year, and incidentally
Community Day at Newfolden. The
business men Of Newfolden were
hosts to about two hundred farm
ers and their families, and no doubt
but what the. feeling of good fellow
ship was mutual. The program for
the day was very informal; much
of the time was given to discussion
and conferences which proved to be
very profitable.
The Northwest Farm and Station
at Crookston sent two speakers for
the day, Mr.. "A. R.. Knutson, a prac-
tical farmer, and formerly County
Agent Of Polk county, and Prof.
VIM. Dietrich, man known
throughout the United States and
recognized as an authority on live
stock and farm problems. Mr.. Scott
Hildreth, of Newfolden Township,
gave very good talk on live stock
and soil improvement, and Mr.. Lars
Bjorsness gave fine talk on corn
culture and the preservation of corn
fodder. Prof. Dietrich talked on
the value Of sheep on the farm, and
from his own experiences as well
as that Of others, he declared that
sheep were the most profitable ami
mails on the farm, for several rea-
sons, but chiefly because sheep are
the best weed eradicators on the
earth; they will do we'll on hay alone,
without any grain, need less shelter
and less care in winter, than other
stock, and raise two crops annually
lambs and WOOL He also gave some
fine illustrations on the feeding of
cows. Mr.. Knutson spoke on. ensil-
age for the stock, and other feeds,
and gave good talk on preparation
of potato seed. Samples of potatoes
gathered in the neighborhood show
ed clearly the presence of diseases
and unless treated before planting
seed Of this kind would yield only
a small crop Of inferior quality.
Prof. Dietrich made the statement
that the Newfolden Community
Day MEETING was one of the best
that he had ever attended, and
spoke in highest terms of praise
Of the local farmers who took part
in the program and the discussions
He suggested that with the loca'
talent among the farmers we coulo
have a fine Farmers Club, where
local problems and conditions coulo
be discussed to good advantage
This we hope will materialize il
the near future.
Free lunch was served at noon
and the Scrub Committee" fed the
big crowd in record time. The mer
chants had some very attractive
bargain sales for the day, and not
withstanding bad roads, IN some
places almost impossible, the Com
rhunity Day proved to be a yer!
happy one.

WHY NOT HAVE A
FLYLESS STATE.

If every one would pitch in and
help with a thorough cleanup
throughout the state this spring
when the snow goes out, Minnesota
could be made very nearly flyless,
says c. w. Howard Of the Mime
sofa experiment station. The thing
to do is to get after the fly before
the fly has a chance to get after
men, women, children and babies.
That is what the fly does; it goes
after persons of all ages with dead
ly germs.
A cleanup should, therefore, be
the first thing on the program this
spring. Flies breed in manure and
in other animal and vegetable
waste. Remove such waste or treat
repositories of it with substances
that will kill fly larvae, and you
will be astonished at the difference
there will be in the number Of flies
/ For particulars communities and
individuals should write to c. w

OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC

wv dIIcIl, MlAll., Adfcu ~, lSlI.
We wish to take you into our
confidence and give you plain
statement Of fact as to the prospect
and the. difficulty of getting sufficient
Ford cars to supply the demand for
them that is pouring in upon us
from all sides. In the first place
we wish to state that the Ford con-
sract year. commences on Aug. 1st,
md that, on Aug. 1st, 1916, we
made contract with the Ford Motor
Co., for six hundred Ford cars, to
be taken between Aug. 1st, 1916 and
July. 31st, 1917. We had vision
of the wonderful demand that was
sure to come for the handsome new
Ford car, coupled with the big drop
in price, and we made our contract
accordingly. We all have our
troubles, 4ssand We are surely having
ours5share in getting shipment of
Ford carsas per schedule of ship
ping instructions in our contract.
Sinee Aag. 1st to date, we have
received only little over one hun
ord ears Let us make clear to
you why this is so, First: the Ford
factory was shut down several
weeks from Aug 1st on account, so
we understand, of shortage of raw
material. Second: A ruling of the
Ford Motor Co. that no cars would
be shipped to any agent who did
not have signed orders for them,
specifying immediate delivery as
soon as car was received. Third
The shortage Of railroad cars, re-
sulting in slow shipment. Of these
causes we suffered heavily last fall
from the. First and Third causes,
and all this winter we have been
unable to get. any cars, on account
Of the ruling as stated in cause
number Two. You can readily see
that it has been impossible to make
deliveries of cars in this. territory
since the first of last December
Now in addition to what we have
already said, let us give you few
further interesting facts. The Ford
Motor Co., since Aug. LIST, 1916
has built and sold to actual users
over Four Hundred Thousand Cars
They are now running on a schedule
Of an output of Three Thousand
Cars daily. They are still behinc
on orders over one hunderd thousand
cars.
Now as to ourselves, we have
over one hundred and fifty orders
for Ford cars, to be delivered as
soon as the roads open up. W.
have on hand one Ford Runabout
and that is all. We have the
promise of a shipment Of Fiftee1
Carloads Of Ford cars to us JUS
as soon as the railroads can fur
nish the transportation.
We ask you in all candor, do 70,
not think, that, if you intend to bu.
car this season, that you shoult
!, place your order with us at once fo
Ford. A great wave of enthusiasm
is over the country, that the For
| is the s'best buy" there is in tn
automobile world.
Very truly yours,
