about all of his available cash
in the purchase and drainage of
a swamp near Brainerd. His
drainage was carried on the same
plan now being carried out by
our state and counties on hun
dreds of thousands Of acres, and
when the first drought came, Mr..
Russell's swamp burned to the
white sand and he was left
broke to start anew in the news
paper business. The impractical
operation of his was the subject
of some humorous notes in his
newspaper.
I believe these swamps and
boys now being drained carry
an average Of better than 1 per
cent of nitrogen and it is a
crime to destroy this valuable
soil as we are doing. If the peat
is drained and the land farmed,
all danger of fire would disap-
pear, but to successfully farm
these peat beds, it must be done
scientifically.
The roads that we pretend to
make on the banks of our
bitches are of no practical value
and they are liable to burn up in
ordinary season.
Yours truly,
G. G. HARTLEY.

state and there are many mil
lions of acres of them.
None of these swamps should
be drained without being care
fully surveyed and all these
drains should be damned at the
right locations in order to hold
the water in them until settlers
are found to utilize them and
while they are farmed, these
dams must still be maintained
to hold the water in times of
drought.
The drainage of these swamps
should not be simple matter of
letting contracts, carelessly cut
ting bitches and collecting and
paying out a large amount of
money for their cost but in every
case the plan should be worked
out carefully with as much at
tention to irrigation and hold
ing the water as disposing of it.
AS we are now conducting this
drainage, tremendous incumb-
rance is being placed on the
swamps and surrounding lands
and in that part of the state that
l am familiar with, I do not be-
lieve we have so far secured an
average of one bona fide settler
for each $4,000 acres of land
that we have paid for draining,
nor do I see any immediate pros
pect for better results in this
respect.
During the first real drought
season the dried peat will burn
in all of these swamps where
the drainage is at all effective
and after these fires are once
started, they will burn summer
and winter and it will cost more
than the land is worth to extin-
guish them. This peat will burn
to the water line, which in most
cases would be it's bottom.

dents of Northern Minnesota
will recollect the time that M.
c. Russell, the humorous editor
of the Brainerd Tribune, spent

The liuuor question is now certain
M be an issue in the August primaries
in Michigan. as the result of the reso-
lption passed by the national house Oh
representatives asking vote by states
On an amendment making the nation
bone dry.
A meeting of the Anti-Saloon leasue
nj the state will be held soon. A plan
of campaign will be mapped out aiming
AT the election of at least two'thlrds
dry majority in both the house anu
senate of the state legislature.
While the plans have not been draft
ed in a general way, II was said al
state headquarters OF the league that
the temperance forces in every district
will get behind the dry candidate
should he be opposed by man who
Is believed or known to be wet.
The greatest fight probably will be
made in the senate. because III men
there would be able to nullify the
wishes of every other member OF the
legislature, since a two-thirds MAORI
ty would be required in each house to
ratify the proposed amendment

ratified by the states" declared Rich.
ard Scott, president OF the Michigan
Anti-Saloon league. But we don't want

THE fact that the state has been
voted dry should make II easier for US.

Foreigners Seek Discharge.

Every man in the 85th division has
been given final opportunity to make
a claim for exemption. And almost
every foreign. born recruit has asked to
be relieved from service.
The new rules of the selective con.
scription national board permit re-
cruits who feel they did not receive a
full hearing before local boards, to
take their case up with their command
ing general on arrival at the conccn
tration camp. 1t was felt at Camp
Custer. however, that 1t would be un-
fair to afford this privilege only to
the men OF the late contingents and
the order was interpreted so that ev.
cry recruit. both new and old, was Civ.
en- chance to present a claim
The proportion of American born re-
cruits who asked for another hearing
was very small, and in almost every
instance the man recited the fact that
newly arisen cases of dependency
prompted him. The birth of children
was one Of the common reasons given.
The foreign-born soldiers, however,
came forward almost in a body to ask
exemption. They filed a widely vary.
ing but generally insufficient list Of
pleas.
This problem of the unwillingness OF
the foreign born to serve is the cause
OF constant worry to the commanding
officers.

Try to Save Soldiers Property.

An attempt to save the property Of
Michigan soldiers from being sold for
taxes is being made for the boys at
Camp Macarthur, Waco, Texas. Lieut..
William Harcourt, Detroit attorney
and member of the Goth machine gun
battalion, has been assured by De-
troit's corporation counsel that action
will be taken to relieve soldiers of spe-
cial taxes until after the war.
A soldier at Waco who owns prop.
erty in Detroit received a notice that
unless a sidewalk assessment was paid
his property would be sold for taxes.
His entire savings were invested and
he had no means of raising sufficient
money to make the payment. Other
cases of like nature were discovered.
and Lieut.. Harcourt took the matter
up with Detroit.
Soldiers have been receiving no.
tees from holders of land contracts
also, that unless they paid up arrears
and kept their payments going regu.
larly they would lose their invest.
ments.
Several men who own homes have
been driven so desperate by the notices
that they have made every sacrifice
TO Keep up their payments, fearing
their families would be evicted.
1t is understood that the Michigan
law protects a soldier, but the holders
OF these contracts do not know this
law, or, knowing it. will endeavor to
make regular collections; at any rate.
there Is a general lack OF understand.
ing among soldiers. Some sold their
Liberty bonds to meet payments; one
soid lot he had inherited. Lieut..
Harcourt will compile the law on this
subject and publish 1t in all the the
Michigan units.

CLOTHING Shortage Serious. :

Following the announcement OF thu
Acknowledgment department Of
a delinquency in delivery OF clothing
shoes and blanket contracts OF from
6 to 48 per cent, army authorities OF
Camp Custer have admitted that the
protracted delay In the arrival OF
proper clothing is causing serious dit
ficulties.
The root of the trouble seems to
be that Michigan and Wisconsin men
are too big for army clothing.
The matter, which has dragged on
for some weeks, came to head when
a shipment Of clothing rushed to the
cantonment by express to equip men
of the last contingent who have not
been uniformed. was found to consist
largely OF small sizes. or 1856
blouses, 1884 are too small to use;
of 1894 wooden breeches 2.70s are
too small to be issued.
The great difficulty seems to be in
procuring suitable sizes. Enough
garments have been received to clothe
the present division and all the men
II has transferred to other points, but
there has been such an overwhelming
preponderance of small sizes that
hundreds of men are still wearing the
civilian colthes in which they came
to camp.
One Of the most pressing needs Is
shoes. Thousands upon thousands OF
shoes have been received, but the
sizes run small. For instance, out OF
the last $4,000 pairs received 40 per
cent were below size 8, and few men
can wear a size army shoe, II their
feet are properly fitted.
Another vital need Is socks. The
men must have plenty OF them. and
they are skimping along on the min.
imum number. with the supply
dwindling daily. Men in some organi-
zations are being sent out to drill or
to work on the rife range in the
morning and then called In at noon
and asked to turn their shoes over TO
other recruits who in turn 60 out for
training.
