R0UGHAGES OF FARM

The chief advantage that would re-
suit from the Keeping of live stock on
the majority of farms Is that to a
large extent the returns would be ad-
ditIonal to those realized when live
stock was not kept. These returns
would be additional because live stock
would turn the roughages of the farm,
that are now going to waste, into
money. More than one-half the fod-
der in this state goes TO waste every
year. For every head of cattle in the
state there are produced three acres
of corn, which will average one ton
of stover per acre. One and one-half
tons of stover Is more than is needed
to winter one head OF cattle. There is
going TO waste, then, every year in
this state, 5,700OO0 tons OF corn stover

RUSTY STRAW GOOD
FOR FARM ANIMALS
On General Principles 1t Is Not
Considered Advisable to
Feed II to Females.

Is rusty straw safe or desirable
stock food? The general teaching for
many years has been that blights,
rusts, smuts, etc, are all harmful and
likely to produce abortions and other
troubles. Actual experience and some
research work, however, show that
this statement Is far too general.
There can be no question concern
ing the undesirability of moldy hay,
straw, grain, or ensilage, on account
Of the well-known forage poisoning Of
horses and cattle, but quantities Of
corn smut have been fed in expert
mental work, without evident harm,
though this does not prove that under
other circumstances smut may not be
Injurious. Stock seems sometimes &C.
tually to prefer straw In the black
rust stage and eat 1t readily, yet the
same stock may appear to dislike
straw In the red-rust stage, possibly
because more dusty.
We think that the farmer would be
quite justified In the cautious feeding
OF rusty straw. On general principles
and In view Of some uncertainty, 1t
would be better not to use rusty straw
for a female heavy with young, though
even In such case 1t might do no
harm. There is little positive informa-
ton available. The writer would
greatly appreciate reports Of actual
experience.

the home builder desires a beautiful

house be beautiful. The home builder
wants every possible Item which will

ways been an ardent suffragist but
not until the last few years, when
the call for leaders became so urgent
did she devote her entire time to the
suffrage cause. Having been elected
Dean of Women at Lombard College,
Galesburg, ILL.,, she was just about
to take up her duties when she was
prevailed upon to take the platform
in the interest of suffrage.
DR.. Jones has filled many positions
of honor and trust, among them the
very responsible position Of trustee
of Lombard college. This institu-
tion conferred upon her the honorary
degree of D. D. She is one of less
than half a dozen women in the
country to be so honored. Vice
president of the Associated Charities

SIMENSON BETTER:
HOSPITAL REPORT OF
BEMIDJl NAVAL BOYS
Philadelphia, Pa,
May 18, 1917.

Bemidji Pioneer:
Dear Sirs: In q copy of the Pio-
neer received here today, I see that
the report was that Leo Simenson
was dead, and wish to inform you
that such is not right, and am very
sorry that such report should be put
out, as such report had never been
sent from here, and is just the imag-
ination of some people that know
nothing about it. I am in the hos
pital corps of the U. S. S. Kansas
and know exactly the condition of
the Bemidji boys at all times as
visit those at the naval hospital on
shore at least twice week. Will
try to make a report to the Pioneer
at least once week so that people
may not hear false reports Of the
boys.
For today's report will state that
Leo Simenson is greatly improved
and is able to be up and around.
70, Thomas Coe. who has also been
confined to the naval hospital. is
much improved.
Clinton Crosby, who went to the
hospital few days ago with measles
is much better and enjoying a few
days lay-off at the hospital.
George Morrison was sent to the
hospital this morning, also a measles
suspect. He will undoubtedly appre-
ciate q few days lay-off as he is not
seriously sick.
Will try to make report of the
Bemidji sick list again soon.
Anyone wishing to get more defin-
ite details may get same by writing
or wiring me or Mr.. Laliberte.
Will be glad to answer any In
quiry at any time.
Yours truly,

JAIL AWAITS MAN
WHO IS DELINQUENT
REGISTRATION DAY;
AGERULEESPECIFIC

will be spared to those who are regis
tered If they will keep these GER
tificates always in their possession" "
No man who has registered knows
when he will be approached by po-
lice officer and asked to show his
card. The police will play an active
part in the registration. It is their
duty, says the circular on rules, to
examine the registration lists and
make sure that all persons liable to
registration have registered them
selves.
Up to Individual.
Registration is put squarely on the
shoulders of the men subject to draft,
by orders of the War department. It
is up to the individual to know where
he must register and to see that his
registration card is sent to his pre-
cinct registrar. Students in schools,
colleges and other institutions must
register as absentees. Provision has
been made for aiding students to
register.
1T must be borne in mind" the
rules say, ''that such registration
must be made a sufficient length of
time before registration day (June
s., to enable such student to mail the
card; that the burden of registration
in his own domiciliary precinct is on
every man; and that persons in this
class must see to it at their peril
that their registration cards are in
the hands of the registrar of their
domiciliary precinct on registration
day."
Prisoners to REGISTER.
The men of draft age detained by
Sheriff johnson at the county Jail
will not escape registering. Felons
will not be drafted, though they will
be registered. Persons awaiting trial
and those guilty of misdemeanors
now sojourning at the county jail,
who are not felons, will be given alb
sent treatment. The sheriff will see
that they get registration cards and
will then forward the cards to the
proper registrars.
It will not do bit of good to be
sick on registration day as you must
register by agent if you come within
the draft age limits. The rules pro-
vide that a sick person shall send his
agent to the city clerk and there reg
lister. The registration card must be
sent to the precinct registrar by the
sick person with a self-addressed anC
stamped envelope for registration
| certificate.
Registration booths will be open
from a. m. until 9 p. M. June 5.

hall at 2 o'clock and Secretary Petrie
urges that a large number of mem
bers be present. He also says he has
a new stunt to be introduced but re-
fuses to state what it is, bue it is
said to be something on the order OF
a submarine in action.
On Monday night the lodge will
give dance in its hall, when the new
members will be introduced to the

All male persons over 21 and un-
der 81 years must register in the
precincts where they live.
Failure to register makes such
persons liable to Imprisonment with
out the option of fine.
Persons who will be absent from
the city on registration day should
20 at once to the office of City Clerk
Stein and register before leaving
city.
Persons unable to register by rea-
son of illness should have some
friend notify the city clerk who will
arrange for securing such persons
registration.
Registration day is Tuesday, June
Registration booths will be open
from z q. m. to 9 p. m.
All persons between the ages des-
ignated for the draft except those
in the military or naval service must
register.
Registration certificates will be
furnished certifying that registra-
tion has been made.
The men at Washington who out
lined the procedure to be followed
apparently have made their stories
SO plain that none should fail OF
registration on the day set through
Of their duties. .~- -.
Age Rule Specific.
For the information of those sub
iect to draft the rules say:
'All males who shall have attain
ed their 21st birthday and who shall
not have attained their 31st birthday
on or before the day set for regis
tration must register"
This is the rule. It is simply q
case of knowing when your nearest
birthday is and figuring out whether
Won are within the age limits speci-
fed.
II you are q male between the des-
ignated ages and are not in military
or naval service of the United States
YOU are subject to registration. The
War department insists that you
present yourself on June at your
precinct polling place and that you
give correct information in answer
to the REGISTRARS questions. BY way
of being emphatic the instructions
say:
IF you fail to present yourself, OF
presenting yourself you give false
misleading or incorrect answers, you
are a misdemeanant.'
Jail Awaits Delinauents.
Punishment for infraction of this
rule of honesty or neglect in regis
tering is Imprisonment in Jail. An6
Jail means Jail to the government In
war time. There is no alternative
of a fine.
Every man that registers on June
5 will be given a registration GER
tifcate. It's small blue card about
the size of the ordinary business
mans card and can be conveniently
carried. This card will be handy
thing to have about you following
registration day. though the War de-
partment doesn't put it just tina
way. 1t says: much Inconvenience
