A very pleasing patriotic enter
tainment was given at the Judson hall
Friday evening by the pupils of Dis
trict No. 6, under the direction of
Miss Riley. A fine program was car
cied out consisting of various little
speeches given by the pupils encour-
aging the buying of Liberty bonds,
also the reciting of the American
Greed by the pupils in unison, flag
salute and number of songs. The
assembly was also favored with an
address by Magnus Larson and a
vocal duet by Dorothy Larson and
Alice Gustafson. The program ended
with the singing of America by all.
Lunch was then served, the proceeds
amounting to $31.50 which will go
towards the purchase of a Liberty
bond for the school.

Special Course to be Given at the
University of Minnesota.


| A special course on public health
nursing will be given at the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota. Final arrange
ments have just been completed to
have four months course COM
mence on Monday, October IA. Quite
likely nurses may be admitted as
late as October 25, or possibly later.
The University Medical school has
secured the services of a public
health nurse to supervise this
course. 1t will be given in CO. opera
i ton with other divisions of the
university, such as the sociological,
the extension, ETC., as well as with
the co operation of the social or
ganizations in the two cities.
The need for Public health nurses
hardly needs to be called to your
attention again. In fact, it appar-
emily will not be long until all the
nurses left in this country will be
doing either public health or insti-
tutional work. So important is the
work of the public health nurse that
the American Red Cross has re-
fused to accept public health nur-
ses who wish to enlist from the staff
of public health organizations until
they have received permission from
the heads of the organizations. They
also enroll public health nurses and
give them a special service chevron
indicating they are in what is re-
garded as military work.
Seniors froN accredited schools,
as well as graduate nurses, will be
admitted to this course. Application
should be made directly to DR.. f. O..
Beard, Assistant Dean, Medical
School, University of Minnesota,

The Government Has Issued Some
Timely Instructions.

In connection with the government
poultry campaign that is being car
ried on by the United States depart
ment of agriculture in CO. cooperation
with the state agricultural college, w.
A. Weber of Mankato, who is the
authorized local representative for
the advancement of the poultry in
terests in this vicinity has been re-
quested to issue timely and season
able suggestions.
At this season of the year, in Octo-
Der, the main and fundamental point
is to have all strong, vigorous, we'll
matured pullets housed in their win
ter quarters. The reason for this is
SO that they may become accustomed
to their new quarters and to each
other before they start laying Nov
ing birds from one place to another
has tendency to stop or retard the
egg yield. Early housing means
early laying.
Early laying means more profits
and early fall laying means early
spring Matching. 1t is the early
hatched pullet that pays; it is the
early hatched broiler that pays. 1t is
the early>housed pullet that lays In
placing those pullets in their winter
quarters the last general culling
should be done for the winter. IN
following the general idea or this ar
ticle for a period of years will in
crease the profits very materially.
Hatch early, house early, lay early
are the key notes of success.
Any further information can be
had by calling On R. S. Neubert Co..
of which Mr.. Weber is manager of
the poultry department.

Those Who Contributed to the Fund
Raised by Paul Dehnel.

Raised by Paul Dehnel.
Conspiracy charges may be laid by
United States government officials
against several hundred men who
helped support The st. Paul and
Minneapolis American. The pub
Usher of the paper was Paul F. Deb
mel, who was tried in the federal
court in Minneapolis for violating
the espionage law in connection
with his paper, says The st. Paul
Dispatch.
Special Agent T. E. Campbell of
the Department Of Justice has
brought to light the fact that part of
the money which was collected by
Dehnel for subscriptions for the pa
per was for propaganda. Mr.. Camp
bell has found on stubs of receipts
in DehnePs office that it was stated
that Sc of the money was for sub
scription and the balance for propa-
ganda.
Mr.. Campbell said that all of the
facts in the Dehnel case are being
assembled with the view of accusing
several hundred men in the north
west of conspiracy against the
United States government.
Several men who have contributed
to Dehnel have been examined by
Agent Campbell, and he said today
that they do not tell straight stories,
nor is it true that the money was
paid Dehnel before the United States
entered the war, as they contend.
Failing in the conspiracy charge,

may lose them by revocation and
may be interned as alien enemies.
Many contributors were made to
Dehnel from New Ulm and other
notoriously disloyal sections.

Notorious Newspaper Man Cannot
Prove He's American Citizen
Paul F. Dehnel was placed in the
Hennepin county Jail and charged
with being an enemy alien Saturday
night Immediately after jury which
tried him on a charge of violating
the espionage act had been discharged
for failure to agree on a verdict.
The jury deliberated for twenty
eight hours. While it was rumored
that the vote was nine to three for
conviction, jurors would say nothing.
Agents of the department of justice
decided on Dehnel's arrest Wednes-
day, when he was unable in his trial
to prove that he was born in Germany
in 1884 and said he always supposed
his father was naturalized, because
he voted in Minnesota elections. The
department investigated, but could
find no record of the fathers natural
ization. The burden of proof Of
citizenship will now be on Dehnel.
Articles written by James A. Peter
son for The Minneapolis and ST..
Paul American, DehnePs paper, re-
suited in DehnePs arrest.
Peterson was convicted of violat-
ing the espionage act in April and
sentenced to four years in the fed
eral penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth. Dehnel was indicted at the
time the charge was made against
Peterson, but the trial was postponed.
Americas entrance into the war was
critized in the Peterson articles.
DehnePs defense to the charge of
publishing articles was that he did
not pass on the matter that was pub
lished. He said that work was done
by the managing, editor, Rev. Gates

er or the Nonpartisan league.
