MUNITIONS PEOPLE STRIKE
REVOLT AND TAKE POSSESSION
OF PETRo0RAD.
Members Of National Committee Plead
With Agltators for Restora-
tlon Of Order.

Petrograd. Russia.-The Schlissel-
berg munitions district has reyolted.
Workmen and citizens of the district
announced their intention of organic
ing a separate republic.
Twelve members of the Workmen's
and Soldiers committee were named
to plead with the revolving forces for
restoration of order.
In addition Tcheidse, leader OF the
Social Democrats in Russia, person
ally hurried over to the munitions
district to aid. Schlisselberg is a dis
trict of Petrograd short distance
down the river. 1t corresponds to
New York's East Side.
The provisional president of the
munitions district was arrested by
the rebels.
Just how serious the revolt is was
not made clear in dispatches re-
ceived here. Apparently, however.
there was no violence.
Another instance OF friction be-
tween the Duma provisional govern
ment on Russia's plans for the future
was evident when It was announced
the executive council of workmen and
soldiers are planning worlds inter-
national conference.
The project embraces a meeting of
all varieties of Socialists in some neu-
trail nation to discuss world problems.
Those behind the plan insisted the
conference was not identified In the
slightest degre with the June meet
ing of Socialists at Stockholm.

STUDENTS GOING TO WAR

University City.-The university fac.
uity have unanimously voted to dis
pense with the formal commencement
exercises With the largest class In
the history OF the institution-140-it
had planned some time ago to have a
great homecoming of the alumni to
celebrate with the class the great
prosperity attending the university
When war was declared all these
plans were changed More than $50
students, including a number of SEN
iors, are now In training camps or on
the farms preparing to do their part
1t is the opinion of the faculty and
the student-body that the young men
who are ready to make the supreme
sacrifice for their country can best be
honored by foregoing the festivities
attendant upon a commencement oc-
casion. The diplomas will be mailed
to the members of the senior class i'm
mediately after examinations.
If the war is over at next commence
ment time the present class will be
invited to return and participate in
the commencement exercises. It is
felt by all that commencement occa-
sion this year, if held, would be one of
pathos rather than joyous one.

state Highway Commission.

State Highway Commission.
The state highway commission met
at the capitol. The resolution as to
good roads introduced before the rail-
road commission by Commissioner
Wilson was heartily indorsed. and the
hope expressed that some way would
be found to get cars to haul road-build-
ing material. The sentiment Of the
commission was that In these war
times the construction of good roads
is OF more importance than ever and
the help OF the president of the Unit
ed States is invoked. Thousands of
carloads OF gravel and other road
building materials are wanted and
needed right now. but the cars cannot
be obtained, as the counties need
them, and road work is badly re-
tarded.

SIZE TOCuT POTATOES
FOR PLANTING

The largest yields are as a rule Sc
cured by planting large pieces. Dur
ing years 1909, 10 II and IL trials
were made at the Edgeley North Da-
kota Sub-station with different sized
seed pieces. The average for the four
years was: large potatoes, planted
whole 161 1-2 bushels; cut in two, III
bushels; cut to 2 eyes, 107 1-2 bushels;
cut to 1 eye, IS 1-2 bushels; small po-
tatoes planted whole, 100 ga bushels.
Trials were also made in planting
Feelings two eyes to each piece. These
gave a yield Of "a 1-2 bushels, not as
big yield as when the potato was cut
to 1 eye, and the potatoes cut to 1 eye
would plant twice as much as if the
Feelings with two eyes each were
planted. The Feelings furnish but lit
tie nourishment for the young plant.
So, unless the seed bed is ideal and
the moisture conditions just right the
eye on the potato peeling may not
start or if it does the plant is feeble
SO that it can not weather adverse
conditions as can q vigorous plant
with with a food supply to fall back
upon.-Agr. Elk. Dep.

Dwarf wax and green pod beans are
goou for using green, while the navy
bean is the best for use as shell beans.
The season is too short for pole and
lima beans. These do best in a loan
or clay soil. Plant one to two inches
deep in rows two to three feet aport
and two 70 three inches apart in the
row.: May 18th is a good planting
date ?Aa5later seeding can be made

TURN GRASS INFO pnRK

IURN GRASS INTO PORK,
Grass is one Of the best pork pro-
ducers. The growing pig should. be
given plenty Of green food. II helps
build bone and ruscle-a good frame
for filling out with corn. Alfalfa is
the best green food, sweet clover has
given good results. Bronze grass is
relished by pigs, winter rye is also
good. When none of these are avail
able oats, barley or rape may be sown.
The pigs on pasture should be fed
some grain. Two and one-half lbs.
daily per 100 lbs. of live weight has
been found to be a good amount The
pasture will reduce the amount Of
grain needed from 1-3 to 1-2. Trials
at the North Dakota Experiment Sta
ton in %pasturing pigs gave returns Of
$10sto $35 per acre for the pasture
when pigs sold from seven cents a
pound.

this whole system Of uinlchristian ideas
