SEALS HELP TO GET
COMMUNITY NURSES.


"a tuberculosis week program, a
baby week program, an epidemic or the
annual Red Cross seal campaign, may
serve as an entering wedge for a per-
.manent community nurse" says Miss
G. Frances Cameron, head nurse of the
Minnesota Public Health association.
s'In most communities Of this state 2
adds Miss Cameron, tuberculosis,
school health and baby welfare work
have begun through the sale Of Red
Cross seals.
'.As the result of the 1916 seal sale,
f1fty-nine Minnesota villages won q
prize nurse for from one to seven
weeks. Whenever the ndrsing service
authorized as result Of the seal sale
was not sufficient to make an adequate
survey almost without exception asso.
citation nurses have been employed an
additional length Of time at public OF
private expense. At present many OF
these towns are hiring permanent
nurses by grouping with other small
towns or having one nurse cover the
entire county"

WHEN WILL THE
NEXT DRAFTED MEN
LEAVE FOR DODGE?

The local exemption board is in re-
ceipt of many letters from drafted men
asking when the next quota will leave.
The local exemption board does not
know when the men are to leave for
Camp Dodge, as the government has
not as yet notified the local board when
the call will come. All that the local
board asks Of the men who are to leave
next is that they keep the board in

that there will be no trouble in locat-
ing them when the summons come.

Made = Rig Haul.

w. f. Powell and D. Farrell of this
city and Walter Stone Of Crookston, re
turned last Friday from a duck hunt
in the Lake Traverse country in the
vicinity Of White Rock, s. D. The
partly frozen lakes and marshes made
the ducks scarce and hunting difficult
and they came very near having to re
turn home empty handed. As luck
would have it they learned Of farm
in the neighborhood where ducks were
in the habit of feeding, as the farmer
never hunted or allowed anyone else to
hunt on his premises. Immediately
they betook themselves to this game
preserve which was owned by man
named Nils ]. Isakson, but to all their
entreaties for permission to hunt he
turned deaf ear, until in their con
versation they happened to mention
that they were from Warren. Hearing
that they were from Warren, Mr..
Isakson enquired about North Star
College and it soon developed that he
was friend Of that institution. The
ice was now broken, thanks to North
Star College, and Mr.. Isakson, who by
the way they found to be a genial, well
informed man, readily gave the per-
mission to hunt. And such hunting,
Mr.. Powell said, surpassed anything he
had ever seen, and he is an old sports
man. Ducks by the hundreds focked
there to feed and the Warren hunters
soon bagged the limit.

FOR EVERY COUNTY.

George J. Baker, in charge of the
demonstration farms, supervised by the
agricultural extension division of the
University of Minnesota, announces
that the division is expecting to add
several farms to the 1S already on its
list.
These demonstration farms are not
owned by the division, but are operated
by the owner under the direction Of
OF the division; and the
desire is to have one such farm in
every county in the state The re-
qufrements are that the owner shall be
progressive, yet conservative, in his
business dealings; that he shall make
the farm his home; shall be married
man, his wife being in sympathy with
the plan of cooperation with the
Fdivision and the family in the right
attitude toward the community and

rest under a considerable Indebtedness,
be in need Of draining or infested with,
|quack grass, wild mustard, Canadian
thistle or other noxious weeds.
The object of establishing such
demonstration farms is to bring to the
attention of farmers in surrounding
territory the methods and practices
worked out by the department of agri-
culture of the university, and inthe
operation Of the farms the extension
division is reasonable and practical in
| its requirements as to equipment.

alton Of commercial clubs, farmers
clubs and other groups in establishing
such farms.
Persons interested should address

YOUNG MAN STOLE
DIAMOND BROOCH
Joseph N. Gibbs Captured On Train At
st. Louis, Mo-, With Stolen
Property.

Z Joseph n. Gibbs, a young man who
has been assisting Walter Melgard al
I the Melgard elevator in this city and al
the Melgard farm, and staying at the
Melgard heme, left on Monday last
week for Minneapolis. With him dis:
appeared also a beautiful diamond
tbr0och belonging to Mrs. Melgard
valued at about 500. AS soon as the
FLOSS was discovered suspicion fell on
Gibbs. Walter Melgard left for Mime;
apolis Tuesday evening of last week to
trace the movements of Gibbs and
found that he had checked his trunk
| to st. Louis. These facts were com.
imunicated to Sheriff Hanson at Warren
and he Immediately telegraphed des-
Icription Of the young man to the police
iat st. Louis and gave the train on which
The would arrive. Before the train en-.
I tered the city detectives got on board
land easily spotted their man, with the
fproperty HI his possession SheRia
Hanson left For ST. Louis on Wedpes
day evening and returned with Gibbs
in custody on Sunday morning last.
II
Young Gibbs had his hearing Mon.
day and plead guilty to the theft. He
may receive his sentence on Thursday
This is probably the first criminal act
| OF the young man and he is said to feel
his disgrace keenly. The factethat be
Imposed on people who had befriended
him and tried to help him along in the
world makes his crime look the more
lreprehensible. He worked in the same
bank with Walter Melgard in Spokane
Wash, and when Walter came home
Gibbs followed shortly after. The two
young men were we're :Warm i q friends IS.
The parents~of young Gibbs are said
to be very respectable people and it is
sad to think that he has, brought sor
row over their heads by his wayward
ness. It is reported also that he has 6
young wife living in Minneapolis, whom
evidently, he is not supporting. It i.
well for him, though, that justice go
hold of him so early in his career ant
that he has time to turn over a new
leaf and live an honorable life when b.
again becomes free man.
