FARMERS OF RED RIVER
ANSWER C0UNTRY'S CALL
veritabIe Army at Work in Valley
Counties-Increases in Acreage
and in Herds Seen.

Crookston. = A veritable army is at
work in Red river valley counties in
response to the call sent out by the
Minnesota Red River Valley Crop and
Public Welfare association. Results
more far reaching than were anticipat-
ed by the leaders of this movement
are beginning to appear. While the
urgent need of seed in various parts
of this section and the necessity of
having the largest possible acreage
placed under cultivation were impell-
ing motives a month ago, it is seen
every day that the results will include
hundreds of additional acres seeded to
clover and alfalfa, a large increase in
the corn. and, best of all, increased
holdings of livestock.

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No fooIishness! Lift your corns
and caIIuses off with fingers
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn a few drops of
freezone, says Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle Of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

To Put State on War Basis.


Steps to put Minnesota Immediately
on war basis have been taken by the
state public safety commissioned
100000 Minnesota war board. Meas
ures asked by the national council of
defense have been taken up. Final
plans for organization of the Mime
sofa Home Guard also were presented
to the commission. Immediately after
formal approval is given by the COM
mission, actual forming of the guard
units will begin throughout the state.
Meetings at the armories in st. Paul,
Duluth, and Minneapolis are proposed
to form battalions in each of those
cities, under the direction of expert
enced military men. In smaller cities
and towns local leaders will be author
lied to begin organizing smaller units
until the guard system is extended to
every locality.
Delayed return of the Washington
delegates may result in confirmation
of the Home Guard plan by quorum
composed of Governor J. A. A. Burn
quist, Attorney General L. A. Smith,
former Governor John Lind, and A. G..
Weiss of Duluth.

New Guard Units Not Wanted.

While Minnesota has legal authority
to raise additional regiments of the
national guard, announcement by the
war department was that this action
would be deprecated, and that addi-

not be recognized at this time. New
units will not be accepted unless there
is assurance they will have armory
and other facilities after the war If
the government decides to recruit new
guard regiments, the states would
have nothing to do with naming the
officers.

THINNING GARDEN PLANTS.

Commence to thin just as soon as
the size of the plants and the ravages
of insects will permit. Bear in mind
that thinning should be process of
selection, that is, all weak plants
should be discarded, leaving only the
most vigorous to mature.
The following are the distances to
which some of the most common vege-
tables should be thinned: Beets, car
rots, turnips, parsnips and satisfy
four to six inches, depending on the
soil and variety; rutabagas, eight
inches; wax or string beans, four
inches; lima beans, twelve inches
onions, two inches; parsley, six inches
cucumbers, four plants to each hill,
or if in rows, allow two feet between
the plants in the row; melons and
squashes, two strong plants to each
hill.

HAIL TO THE p. M. r. r.

This is just a little, humble tribute,
but it's honest. Those of our sub
scribers who have had business to
transact with the P. M. R. R. during
the past two years have, we venture,
noticed constant improvement in
the service. There has been, more
over, continual evidence of desire
on the part of the management to CO.
operate with the public in practical,
common-sense way. This has been
good for the public and, judging from
the reports showing increased earn
ings, it has been good for the railroad
company, giving evidence that honest
and capable men are steering the af
fairs of the big transportation cor
poration as they ought to go. And
lastly, we salute the P. M. because
President Frank H. Alfred bought
$3.50, 100000 of Liberty Loan bonds
which were parceled out on an equit-
able basis among the employees of the
road. We might say, also, that Re-
ceiver Paul H. King has been a
mighty efficient force in the State in
gathering funds for the American
Red Cross, showing that he finds time
to be good citizen as well as good
railroad man.
