GROW STAPLE FOODS
SAYS A. D. WILSON
Scarcity of Grains Will Make High
Prices for Peas, Beans and
Winter Vegetables

Produce the largest possible
amount of grains and corn, and such
root crops as may be stored without
danger of serious damage, including
foodstuffs which may be canned, pre-
served or dried, such as peas, beans,
corn and all sorts Of fruits. That is
the special message sent out this
week by A. D. Wilson, chairman of
the state committee on food produc-
ton and conservation, to Minnesota S
crop producers and gardeners. To
grow grains, corn and the other crops
mentioned, is the first patriotic duty
of the people on the land. To do so
may be to save the nation in the
most perilous crisis of its history.
PRICES WILL BE HIGH
That prices for all fOodstuffs will
continue high is the conviction of
the state subcommittee on markets.
This conviction is based on the fact
that not less than 40,OOO,OO0 men
have been withdrawn from prOduc-
tive labor in the world to carry on
the war, and that the crops in parts

Hearings on Flood Damage

general of Minnesota, was agreed up

1t is already we'll known that the

States will be far below normal. The
grain supply is, Therefore, sure not to
be sufficient to meet the worlds

high and drive people to other food

such foodstuffs also at an abnormal

The federal farm loan system eX-

to the farmers and the Federal Land

Economy of operation and the assurance of lowest
possible upkeep cost make the GRANT SIX the logical
car to buy. With the GRANT you get twenty miles
to gallon of gasoline and 900 miles to gallon of
oil. No other car will cost you less to run.
1t is every citizens duty to help conserve such
important resources as gasoline and oil, and in
buying the GRANT SIX you are doing this.
In the GRANT SIX you have full-sized, full
powered fve-passenger touring car (or three pas
senger roadster) without extravaganza. 1t is car
that any man may be proud to On this
point we are emphatic No other car within

denced the knowledge of this noted
mans attractive power as a lectur-
er. But the delight Of the listeners as
shown in their attention and appre-
citation of his address was even
greater evidence of his magnetic in
fiuence. His subject, "Shylock and
David showed literary knowledge
and intensive research, as he said he
derived his information from the
book. In his early life he was too
poor to attend the theater and later
in life his piety kept him away, SO
between poverty and piety he had
never seen an actor enact a drama.
But his portrayal of the characters
of Shakespeare and Browning were
worthy Of the fame of our greatest
actors, and his people were most
life-like before his hearers. He pic
tured Shylock as standing above all
Others yet falling because of the
fact that ''He had a grievance" a
hurt too deep to talk about. This
grievance drove him afar from sue
cess. Then, turning to Browning's
story of Saul, he portrayed David,
who, having done all for the king
and receiving no recompense, went
out Ringing to continue to help 9TH
ers who needed his help and con-
Guided with description of David's
song of the twenty-third Psalm
which his hearers will not soon for

and highest expressions of appracia-

many old friends from various parts
of the country greeted him person

new friends were glad for the oppor-
tunity to meet him.
His visit to Lakeland will be long
remembered by those who were for
