FAVORABLY IMPRESSED
WITH WARREN

Editor H. r. Mussey, Of the Grygla
Eagle, tells of his recent visit to War
rem i'll his last weeks paper, as fol-
lows:
On Tuesday we enjoyed pleasure
trip with Geo. Johnson and 4. J. An
derson to Warren. the first visit in
seven year. Being our first residence
in this part of the state 80 years ago
we have homelike interest in the
place We found everything showing
prosperity on every hand. Many new
dwellings, new and enlarged business
houses, fine streets and everything
cleaned up in excellent shape Warren
has always been fortunate in electing
progressive, boosting business men t,
the public offices and the result is very
manifest Both papers, the Sheaf and
Register were business places, we'll
equipped. The Sheaf has just INSTALL
ed new $500 linotype machine
which handles four different sized type
in the same machine. 1t is a marvel.
A large new brick hotel, Hotel Warren,
has taken the place Of the old Hotel
Windsor and is certainly a credit to
the place. A new Great Northern
depot is also a great improvement. 1t
was short but pleasant visit.

Canning for the Cow.

The All Minnesota Development AS
ISOLATION will send two hundred speak
ers through The state with messages OF
loyalty andS efficiency. Among the
messages they will take to the people
will be one urging the canning Of food
products as an effective means of in
creasing the available food supply.
There is on sort Of canning that
should not be overlooked in this con
nection- canning for the COW. 1t is
good to put up corn and tomatoes and
string beams and other garden truck
for human use. But it is equally i'm
portant to put up nice green fodder
for the cattle to live on through the
winter.
''This is the year of all years for
silos", says Chairman A. D. Wilson of
the State Food Production and Con
servation Committee. ''America's re-
sources depend on conservation of the
crops this year more than on increased
production, because of having started
so late"
The silo is nothing more nor less
than a great receptacle in which corn
fodder is canned for the COW, after
having been cut up into. bits. The
process is a scientific one in which the
results are certain. That toothsome
ensilage causes the heart of the COW
to leap for joy every day of the winter,
when otherwise she would be con-
demned to dry hay and grain. And
when COW is c0ntented with her
meals, she gives milk bountifully. Or,
in the case of meat animals, content
ment with diet means speedy fatten-
ing.
This preservation Of cattle feed in
the green state means the saving of
just so much corn and oats and hay,
to be sold by the farmer at profit,
and to help maintain food supplies.
Thus the silo is good thing from any
point Of view.
Advice to the farmer folk: In all
your canning and preserving, don't
neglect to grow plenty of green fodder
and to can some nice ensilage for the
Minneapolis Journal.

Red River Valley Kernels

tanned fractured rib and quite severe
" bruised about the face when Ford
car he driving turned turtle one
day last. week. The reverend gentle
man was laid up for several days.
ThesArgyle high school building mar

at noon on Monday last week. A blaze
had started in the manual training
room, but fortunately four girls from
the country who eat their dinner in
the building, discovered the fire and
gave the alarm. The fire was put out
with buckets Of water. 1t is thought
to have originated from sparks from
the forge lodging in the apron that had
been worn by one Of the boys, as the
fire had started in the cabinet where
the aprons hung.

Free Speech.

Among the things for which Ameri-
ca stands is the principle Of civil and
religious liberty. Nothing can be more
un-American than to deny man the
right to do his own thinking and to utter
his own conviction when that convic-
ton is born out Of the deepest rever-
ence he has for truth and duty.
We find it difficult to repress our in
dignation at the absurd charges
brought against citizens of the United
States, who, differing from the major
ity of their fellows on the question of
war or peace, are denounced as traitors
to their country, burnt in effigy, and
virtually ostracized.
We can understand a church SO
largely convinced that war is the only
resort left the nation that it might de-
sire the resignation of minister who
conscientiously believed he could not
be true to the teaching Of Christianity
and uphold war. We cannot conceive
of a church accepting such resigna-
ton in any other spirit than that OF
good will and regret.
We can conceive OF nelSnDOiS uAAeA
ing widely upon this same question OF
war or peace, but to charge man with
being false to his flag because he hon
.estly believes he has no moral right to
shoulder gun and go forth to kill
4 some one under that flag, is to show
how little one understands the signiti-
canoe and meaning Of American his
tory.
Personally we believe there is moth
ing left for us as nation to but to
protect ourselves against the forces
that have declared war upon the sacred
liberties Of mankind, and would sup
plant democracy by autocracy. For
all that, we reverence the sincere con
yiction OF the man who differs from
us. we hold his right as divine as
ours. Our Dumb Animals.

The railroads of the country have
asked for fifteen per cent increase in
order to be able to meet increased oper-
ating expenditures forced on them by
the Adamson law and other govern
mental regulations as well as by the
increased cost Of cars, steel rails and
every other item that enters railroad
construction and maintenance. 1t is
claimed that many roads are now being
asked to give our editorial opinion as
to the merits of this increase. AS this
is very important question, affecting
the public at large and the owners and
employees of the railways, millions of
dollars being involved in the issue, one
should not give an off-hand opinion.
1t seems to us this is a highly technical
question that should be decided by only
those who have given it thorough and
expert consideration and study. The
national and state railway commissions
are the ones who are supposed to delve
is done to the shippers and railroads
both. Very few country editors nave
the time or the data at hand to enable
them to Investigate thoroughly these
matters. On general principles the
public always believes that the rail
roads are charging too much for theil
services. They have had reason to be-
lieve these things in the past, wher
they have read of watered stock, fabu
lous salaries, lavish expenditures an(
other mismanagement, of some rail
ways. But if railway managers viii
condescend to take the public into
their confidence and prove conclusively
that they need higher rates in order
to render efficient service then the
public no doubt will be willing to gram
the request. The railroads as we'll a:
all business Enterprises are entitled t.
just and fair treatment.

Walter Ortman at Fort Riley

Thru the courtesy of Mrs. George
Beise, we are permitted to print ex-
tracts from an interesting letter
from her brother, Walter E. Ortman,
who enlisted in the medical service
at Seattle and is now at Fort Riley,
Kansas. Mr.. Ortman says
1T is Friday night and all is we'll
at Ft. Riley. We have been assigned
to the first Evacuation Hospital ever
started in the U. S. We might take
it as an honor. In this hospital, we
have 16 medical officers, sgts. LIST
class, 20 sgts, 141 privates, 10 cooks.
Of course you understand we are
still under instruction, but we are
living in hopes of making good and
going across. I will try to tell you
little about the way the different
organizations are, or will be located
on the battle field. With the fighting
men on the line, you find the First
Aid Stations, then back a little ways
you find the field dressing stations,
back little farther you find the
field hospital. Next comes the Eva
cuation hospital, so you see it is
back quite ways from the line.
That is why it looks so good to us
all. We are not what you could
call towards, but I cannot think of
thing l have lost on the firing line,
so am not at all anxious to get
there.

boys I lived with in Seattle, is still

FEW PRICES ONLY CAN
BE FIXED UNDER LAW
But Profits in Other Lines are Regu
lated More Price Fixing Re-
quires Action by Congress

There has been much discussion
about what prices the Food Admin
istration can fix. Prices have been
fixed on coal and wheat by author
ity conferred by the Food Control
legislation. Prices have also been
fixed on iron and it's products but
not under the Food Control law
This was done by agreement with
the iron and steal industries and is
voluntary on their part.
The Food Control legislation con-
fers power on the president to fix
prices on coal and if necessary to
buy and sell it. 1t also confers auth
GRITTY to buy and sell, and therefore
to fix prices on, wheat, flour, meal
beans and potatoes. These are the
only articles over which the presi-
dent is given the price fixing power
The president is given power to
license any business of the country
where the business transacted an
nually exceeds 100000. The pow
er under such license is conferred to
regulate profits in any line of bust
ness but not to fix prices. Author
ity is given over fertilizer and agri-
cultural implements under the Ii
cense provision but the power to fix
the prices is not conferred only the
power to regulate profits.
The question is often raised in re-
gard to the price of live stock, meats,
corn etc. The Food Administration
acting for the president can not un-
der the present law fix prices on
these things because the authority
to do that is not conferred. What
the next Congress might do in that
line is not known, but until Congress
does act no one has the power to fix
prices on any commodity except as
stated above.
The regulation of profits, which
may be done now in any line OF
business, is an entirely different
thing from the fixing of positive
prices. 1t will eliminate speculation
but it will not prevent high prices
if they are due to causes other thar
speculation.

than similar groups of trees pruned
during May and June. Fall and
winter pruning is done in other ap-
pie growing regions and there ap-
pears to be no reason why Minnesota
apple growers should not follow this
example. If the work is done now,
or on mild days in the winter so that
the workman may prune in comfort,
it will be possible to do all the neces-
sary pruning in an orchard when
other farm work is not pressing. In
this way the pruning will be done
regularly and will not be omitted in
the rush of spring work. An annual
moderate pruning will keep the trees
in the best of condition and will
tend to promote the greatest decree
of fruitfulness.-W. G. Brierley, AS

Start with Eve Lambs

For inexperienced sheep raisers
there are several important adVant-
ages in purchasing eve lambs in
stead of mature breeding ewes. In
the first place, says the United
State Department of Agriculture,
the ewes of breeding age that are
offered for sale are mostly western
ewes with a lOng-WOOl cross, while
the eve lambs coming from the West
are mostly black-faced lambs, thus
showing a cross of some of the Down
breeds, which is the kind of blood
most farmers wish to have in their
flocks. By buying such eve lambs
one gets the advantage of starting
with the first cross of the type to be
used in grading up a flock to the
mutton type.
Moreover, good breeding ewes are
selling high. Lower prices are I'm
likely, as the demand is strong and
the available supply is small. With
probable high prices for mutton and
wool in the future the farmer who
understands sheep and will properly
care for them from the start has
good prospects of success.
While breeding stock is selling
high, the eve lambs can be bought
at about SIS head less than breed
ing ewes. This is an important
point in starting a flock, although
until the lambs come to a breeding
age no returns from the flock will
be forthcoming except the wool clip
However, for the beginner in sheer
husbandry, no better plan Of obtain
! ing experience could be adopted thar
in caring for a flock of eve lambs
! for a year. The experience gained
in wintering eve lambs and manag
ing the flock throughout the summer
season would be invaluable.
Investment in a flock of eve lambs
will give the advantage Of the frs
cross of blood of the Down breeds
lower price, and necessary expert
ence. The wool clip will at least off
set the first years keep and the year
ling ewes will be benefit to weed,
pastures next spring if moved fire
quently and not stocked so heavil!
as to eat the grass into the ground

Prune Apple Trees Right Now

Apple trees may be pruned with
safety at any time after the leaves
begin to fall. When the leaves drop
the shoots. are generally mature.
Many apple growers hesitate to
prune before spring, thinking that
the trees will be injured if pruned
in the fall or winter. Experiments
carried on at University Farm for
the last four years show that there
are no injuries caused specifically by
fall or winter pruning and that in
the following season the growth is
at least normal. Several groups of
trees pruned in the months of Nov
ember to February respectively have
made practically as vigorous growth
as groups of trees pruned respective
ly in March and April. All these
groups from November to April have
uniformly grown more vigorously
