LIEUT.. LEIBSLE PAYS
BEMIDU BRIEF VISIT:
CAPT. GEIB In FRANCE

Lieutenant Roy Leibsle, in station
at Camp Humphreys, Virginia, about
2S miles from Washington, arrived
in Bemidji this morning and will
return to camp tomorrow, his brief
leave being taken up mostly with
travelling on his visit to Bemidji. He
is looking fine, says he feels that
way and since graduating from Off
GERS camp has been doing splen-
didly.
h, Lieut.. Leibsle was one of the ar
chitectural and engineering firm of
Geib & Leibsle, Bemidji, when the
war broke out. Their residence in
Bemidji had not been of long dura-
tion but both young men were warm
ly received by the business and So
cial circles of Bemidji. Both were
graduates Of the engineering school
of the University Of Illinois, and
where Geib was captain Of the crack
company Of the big cadet regiment,
the largest cadet unit in the United
States, and at graduation received a
brevet captains commission from
Governor Dunno in the Illinois guard.
Leibsle was lieutenant in this big
reg llucuC.
Geib entered the officers training
camp and came out first lieuten-
ant, his age barring him from cap
taincy, but it was but a few weeks
when he went to captaincy with an
important post at Camp Dodge. He
is now in command Of a company Of
colored engineers and lover there" "
Lieut. Leibsle is in a replacement
camp and expects to soon be sent
over seas. Bemidji looks good to
him and he hopes when the war is
over he and his soldier partner will
again locate in Bemidj and resume
where they left off.
Leibsle also brings another inter
esting story. A close pal of himself
and Captain Geib was Secretary P.
e. Geir of the Commercial club. He,
too, enlisted and today is f1ier in
the United States aviation corps and
the trio keep close tab on each
other, though widely separated;

Most Drastic
Order Issued
AffeCtsSugaT
(By United Press)

Washington, June 21.-One of the
most drastic food orders ever issued
in the United States was that today
by the food administration affecting
generally all states, whereby deal
ers will be allowed to sell only two
pounds Of sugar in town and five
pounds in the country to one GUS
toner at time.
For every sale, record must be
made and the name Of the custom er
taken, the records to be sent to the
county food administrator for check
ing.
The food administration has writ
ten the millers that technically no
farmers were legally holding wheat
and that the time limit for selling
had expired. If farmers attempt to
exchange wheat for -four, as former
ly,-the millars are ordered to notify
the federal authorities, as only cash
flour sales are allowed.

EAT PORK. NOT BEEF.
URGES FOOD DIRECTOR

Herbert Hoover sends out the fol-
lowing to the people of the country:
''The demands for, beef for our
army and the allied armies and their
civil populations for this summer are
beyond our present surplus, On the
other hand, we have enough in
creased supply of pork this summer
to permit economical expanse in its
use. It will therefore be direct
service to our armies and the allies
if our people would in some degree
substitute fresh pork, bacon, ham
and sausage for beef products.
1--WE request all hotels and res
taurants not to place on their menus
or serve boiled beef more than two
meals weekly, beef steak more than
one. e.naeal .weeklyand roast: beef more
than one meal weekly. We ask
householders not, under any circum'
stances, to. buy more than ~
pounds of clear beef weekly, or u
pounds, including the bones, per
person in the household.
''The public will realize that the
changing conditions Of production
from season to season, the changing
situation in shipping and therefore
of the markets available to the al
lies, and the increasing demands for
our growing army with the f1uctu-
ating supply of local beef in France
all make it impossible to determine
policies for long periods in advance
eve have recently asked for
economy in all meat consumption
We wish now to emphasize further
reduction of beef by the substitution
of pork. It is anticipated that it
will hold good until September 15
and the cooperation of the public is
most earnestly requested"

With the British afield, June 21.
Although now three months since
Won Hindenburg began his colossal
offense, his promised speedy victory
is not achieved. Henceforth, the
strength Of his army must decrease.
If the allies fight during the next
three months as they have in the
past the beginning of the end is
sighted. That will not mean peace
but the road to victory ought to be
stretched ahead then.
The west front is seething, rumb-
ling and smoking like a chain of
volcanoes between eruptions. One
thing is certain, the Germans are
weaker numerically and morally
than at the beginning Of the often
sive. Prisoners say fewer German
divisions are on the front now and
that not over five German divisions
remain unused
Thirty divisions have been resting
for a new drive, however, and alto
gether TIindenburg has so divisions
available for immediate use. He had
81 at the start in March.

CLEAN from reports now available
whether the movement there is a

Bolsheviki, are likely to combine and
fight German penetrations. He also

MAKING CORN YIELD MORE

The matter of side dressing corn
should be mentioned before the sub
ject of fertilization is left. There are
many men who have received mighty
good pay for little time and thought
used in side-dressing corn at the prop
er time. Nitrate of soda alone is us
ually used for this side dressing and
should be applied when the corn is
from two to four feet high. If used
earlier, much of it will be lost by leach
ing, while if used later the corn will
mature before it is all used up.
Sometimes it will pay to side dress
corn with the fertilizer that was used
or should have been used at planting
time. This is true when the corn
planter fertilizer distributor will not
put out as much as is necessary or
when it was impossible to obtain
enough fertilizer at planting time.
When this complete fertilizer is used
as a side dressing, it should be applied
soon as possible after the corn comes
up.
And now we come to the subject OF
cultivation-which begins with the use
Of the turning pillow and which should
in large measure be completed before
the corn is planted. When corn Isl
planted in a well-prepared seed bed
and the spike harrow used freely dur
ing its infancy, it will get up and get
such a start of the weeds and grass
that they will never catch it.
The modern farmer gives his corn
frequent rapid and shallow cultivation
and this is the secret Of keeping any
titled crop free from weeds and grass
and at the same time allowing the
roots and feeders to remain undisturb-
ed.-P. t. H., in the Progressive Far
mer.
