DUST FROM CAMP CODY
Fairmont Man Brings Quantity of 1t
Back With Him.

Fairmont, December 18.-John Boyce
came home from visit to Deming
today with a little can full of the
famous dust that has made the boys
so much trouble when the wind blows
The dust is the color of sand, but is
almost as fine as flour and there are
three or four inches of it all over the
place, Mr.. Boyce said. He gathered the
sample in one of the tents.

said Mr.. Boyce. eff man cuts his
hand and gets little of that into it, it

blame for most of the sickness at
Camp Cody
The camp is not such warm place
as reports have told, according to Mr..
Boyce, who said the nights and morn
ings are cold and that sometimes the
men drill with coats on. This is be-
cause of the elevation, 4,30P Feet.
Mr.. Boyce said the officers are quite
comfortable in Deming, where scores
of them have built boxcar like homes
for their families. The town has
grown to three or four times its form
er size. Camp Cody is three miles from
Deming. No civilians are allowed in
the camp after duska

st. Paul, Mimi, December 19.-Just
what an Indian will endure despite
handicaps of age and ini1rmities was
illustrated by letter received by
The Associated Press here from Fred
A. King, Indian agent at Cass Lake,
MINI. Mr.. King had been asked to
report on the condition of Ga :
gewn- wonce, 127 years old, and he
replied as follows:
81 am in receipt of yours relating
to the aged Indian known as Gable
nah gewn- wonce, also known as John
Smith by those who are unable to
ronounce his Indian name.
mo events have transpired in his
life during the past two years worthy
of being added to the sketch written
for The Associated Press, except
perhaps the fact that shortly after
the sketch was prepared he was run
over by switch engine in the Great
Northern railroad yards here. He was
badly shaken and was picked up and
taken to our local hospital for treat
ment. He refused to occupy bed
while in the hospital, and rolling him:
self up in a blanket he laid on the
floor during all the two weeks he
was confined to the hospital.
'4Ie has not as yet married again
but is still hoping to meet an Indian
maiden who is willing to become Mrs.

to telegraph you in the event of his
death. l will do so providing he dies
before l do. He is residing in Cass
Lake with his Indian son-in-law at
present is still active, and frequently
goes by train to Bena to visit his In
dian friends in that vicinity. He went
there today in fact.

CLERK-CARRIER EXAMINATION
Tests Will Be Held at Mankato Post
office On January 12

office On January IL.
A lerk-carrier examination will be
given on January II, 1918, to supply
eligibles for the pOstoffice and car
rier service at the Mankato postoffice.
This examination is open to both
men and women between the ages OF
eighteen and forty-five years. Women
are eligible for clerks positions and
it would be very desirable to have
a good list of names of women from
which selections can be made if
necessary. The greatest demand is
for men not registered for the draft,
or men failing TO pass the draft ex-
aminatiols or otherwise exempt from
military duty, but could still pass the
physical examination for clerk and
carrier.
It is quite possible that during the
coming year men will be needed to
fill carrier or clerks positions in the
Mankato postoffice and it is desired
that as large list as possible be Sc
cured in order to supply this demand
when it comes. 1t is also desirable
that as many as possible be local
residents, though a residence else
where is not a bar TO any one taking
the examination

OBJECTED TO ASSESSMENT
Seventeen Property Owners in Steele
County Oppose 100000 Ditch.

Appeals against property assess
ments for the construction of a $50 900
county ditch in Steele county were
made by seventeen property owners,
and the case was tried before Judge
Childress of Owatonna this week, be-
ing one of the most stubbornly fought
cases on the calendar, and continuing
for six days.
After being out ten hours, from 300
p. M, until 1 a. M, the jury returned
a verdict, confirming the assessments
made by the viewers to the exact sum
in each and every one of the assess
mentS.
E. W. Goldenstar, civil engineer of
this city, who designed the district for
the irrigation ditch about a year ago,
Moonan & Moonan of Waseca, and
Fred Alexander, county attorney of
Steele county, were defendants in the
case. The ditch in question covers
about fourteen square miles and is
now under construction.

and adjusting what they considered
after careful calculation to be fair

WIFE Of HOTEL MAN
D|EO THIS MORNING
Mrs. E. ]. Zimmerman Passed
Away After An Illness of
Two Weeks

Mrs Margaret Zimmerman. wife
of E. ]. Zimmerman of the Heinrich
Hotel. prominent and popular res
ident of Mankato, passed away this
morning after a lingering illness of
two years duration. She had been
ailing during that period of time but
it was only during the past two
weeks that she became seriously i'll,
her death being caused by pneumon-
ia and complications.
Her maiden name was Margaret
Leader, and she was the daughter of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Leader,
born in Milwaukee, Wis, on March
IS, 1867. She came to Minnesota with
her parents about 1870, and the fam
lily settled on a farm in Nicollet
county. On October 5, 1887, she was
married in this city to Mr. e. j.
Zimmerman. Shortly after their mar
riage they moved to st. Paul, where
they spent two years, after which
they went to Sioux City, Ia, where
they lived for fourteen years Mr..
Zimmerman was engaged in the mat
tress manufacturing business, at ST.
Paul and Sioux City In 1903 the
family moved to Mankato, where Mr..
Zimmerman engaged in the hotel
business, and this city has been the
family home since then. Mr.. and Mrs.
Zimmerman made their home in the
hotel, and their place became we'll
known as favorite stopping place
with travellers.
The surviving relatives are the
widower, two sons; Troy Zimmerman
of Fairmont, and Fred Zimmerman
of this city; two sisters, Mrs. Eliza
beth Warren, and Mrs. Emily Smith,
both of Mankato. Funeral announce
ments will be made later.

SELECTED YOUNG MEN
MUST ANSWER QUERIES
Questionnaires Sent to Them
BY the Board Require
Correct Replies

QueStionaires to young men of
draft age in Blue Earth county have
been mailed from the office of the
county auditor up to and including
number SAT. If anybody whose draft
number (not the serial number) has
not received his QUESTIONABLE up to
and including SAT, he should make
inquiry for it. About 140 per day
will be sent out hereafter until the
full 1927 have been mailed. Great
care should be exercised by the
young men in filling out the question
aire, as so far not one QUESTIONABLE
has been returned properly filled out.
1t would be a great favor to the
local exemption board members, if
any persons making inquiry would
call up the advisory board, instead of
any members of the exemption board,
as these are already very busy. The
advisory board is holding it's meet
ings in the grand jury room of the
court house. 1t is expected that a
special telephone will be installed
there shortly. .....
The board consists entirely of at
torneys. The permanent members
are Miles Porter, William F. Hughes
and Thomas Hughes. The associate
members are A. C. Edwards, S. B.
Wilson, G. ]. Laurisch, G.. o. Daley,
Harry Johnson. John Temple, C. E.
Gilmore and A. R. Pfau, Jr. All are
appointed by the provost marshal
general on the governors recommen-
dation. The board is continually re-
ceiving fresh instructions from Adj
jutant General Rhinow in regard to
filling out the QUESTIONABLE.

CENSOR IS AT WORK
Too Much Publicity Was Given To
Camp Dodge, Iowa.
UNITED Press Dispatch.]

lUnlIeQ fTeSS DlSpdCCn.J
Camp Dodge, Ia, December 1S.-The
small town newspapers in Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota,
that have been getting most of their
training camp news from boys from
the home town who have been writing
home to their parents will be without
this news source from now on.
A recent order by Major H. H. Polk,
chief intelligence officer of the eighty
eighth division said that henceforth
the newspapers would not be permit
ted to print the letters sent home by
drafted men at the camp here. This
applies particularly to the letters which
refer to the movement of troops from
one interior post to another.
Too much publicity was given the
recent transfer of men from Camp
Dodge to other environments and
camps according to the censor. So
from now on the letters the proud
parents bring around to the editor
telling of how the son is progressing
in his military art and how he expects
soon to be sent to some other camp
to drill men there, will be taboo as
far as is concerned.

WHAT PIE FOR 80
CHRISTMAS?

Who ever heard of real Christmas dinner
without minee pie!
It can't be done.
There may be cakes and cookies and pud-
dings and all kinds of sweet things but unless
there is minoe pie there just isn't any res.
Christmas dinner.
And since it takes mince pie TO top off
the feast dinners, wouldn't it be good idea
to have mince pie to top off many of the
other good meals? Wouldn't it just make
the meal on many occasions!
Asyouprobably know, NoNESUCH MINcE
MEAT comes in an up-to date pa kage
form - secure from handling; is moderate
in price and becomes three times the pack
age weight when you add the necessar
moisture.
1t is the economical way to buy n.u
meat because it prevents waste.
The package recipes are good for p
cakes, buildings, and cookies.
Try NONE SUCH War Pie-no top;
Saves -four, shortening, labor, money

CUT CORD WOOD IS APPEAL
Word Sent Out to Farmers BY Com
missioner j. F. MCGEE

John 2. MCGEE, federal fuel admin
istrator for Minnesota, in letter to
s. L. Prentiss, fuel administrator for
Winona county, emphasizes the neces-
sity of farmers and all others owning
wood lands to cut all the wood pos
sible during the coming winter, to
provide against coal shortage, which
will probably result next winter to a
greater extent than this winter
"AS the war goes on the amount of
coal required will increase and will,
in turn, decrease the amount available
for domestic use. This idea cannot be
impressed too strongly on the minds
of every person having wood that
can be converted into cord wood for
fuel" said Mr.. MCGEE

Hogs should not be fed velvet
bean meal-that is the whole pods
ground. The hulls contain a large
amount of fiber, and for that reason
are not relished by hogs, and is not a
good hog feed. Hogs should either
be fed the shelled beans, OF fed the
whole pod without grinding. If the
whole pod is fed the hog will shell
out the beans, which will be eaten
and the bulls will be left on the
ground. A common custom is to
soak the pods before feeding to hogs.
When beans are threshed feed the
bulls to cattle, as it is a rich feed.
