his widow. three sons. John R., Erick
r. and Edward r. johnson, and Mrs.
Maria M. Brimman who resides at
Rinistind. Canada, and also sister
and brother at Brooten, Mimi. and
sister In Norway.
Mrs. Ingeborg Sather, a sister of
Rasmus johnson and her grandson,
Oluf. came up from Brooten, Minn., to
be present at the funeral Of r. John
son the 21st.

that success will follow his wide

THE COUNTY FAIR

During the past three1aonths have
devoted almost my entire enereies to
two jobs. The first of these Jobs
was the supplying of men to our farm
ers. I am much pleased to report
that up to date my Office has secured
NS30 men from various sources and
landed them on farms. Without these
men. our splendid crop, most Of
which is now safely stored away,
could not have been harvested and
threshed.
The other job consisted Of boosting
for our County Fair. The results %.
cured By this work are not 20 Erati-
tying - those above mentioned.
However. there is no questioning
the fact that the labor situation was
the biggest factor influencing our
fair. During the middle Of August
we believed that our crop would be
threshed by Fair time. A week be-
fore the Fair we were certain that
considerable threshing would be done
during and after the Fair. At that
time we realized that every farmer
needed to utilize every ounce of man
and horse power in order to make
sure of this years crop, and to pre-
pare the ground for next years crop.
In the present war crisis that was far
more important than to prepare ex-
hibits. 1t was far more important
than to attend the Fair. In spite of
these conditions we had good agri-
cultural exhibits. We had good
stock exhibit even though the cattle
were not fitted as we'll as usual. We
also had fair attendance
Some men and women spent con-
siderable time in getting up exhibits
when it actually meant loss in mon
ey to them. The Fair Association
owes them a good deal in the way Of
appreciation for seeing to it that the
Fair came through in fine shape dur
ing the present crisis.
From my point of view, I am espe-
cially pleased with the educational
value of our present Fair. The
judges were instructed in each case
and were very willing to explain the
merit of exhibits placed first or Sc
cond. In each case they were men
and women able to instruct anyone.
The Federal Grain Grades exhibit
enabled farmers to find out some-
thing among the grading of their
wheat. The potato exhibit gave con-
elusive proof of the value of treating
potatoes. The food demonstrations
made it possible to gather new ideas
covering the use of substitutes as
now required. 1t seems to me the ed
ucational end ought always to be one
of the big purposes of any Fair. No
doubt we want good deal in the line
of amusement, but besides that every
one ought to get something of definite
and lasfng value. In conclusion.
might state. the time to begin for
next year is now. What are you go
ing to bring?

Reduced Mileage Book
Rates to Be Stopped

Washington, April 20. - Mileage
books, as sold by the railroad com
panies at rate below that charged
for single fares ARE to be abolished
by the Railroad Administration
No formal action has been taken
but it is recognized that the Govern
ment in its operation of railroads can
not discriminate in favor of those
who purchase transportation by
wholesale and against the man who
buys single-trip tickets.
The effect will be an increase OF
rates to those who have heretofore
Travelled on mileage books
Railroad operators, it is known,
have been directed to issue no more
books when those outstanding are ex-
haused and pending that time, the
Railroad Administration is figuring
upon what action can be taken to
meet the needs and demands of trav-
elers who prefer purchasing at whole
sale, even if there is no reduction in
rates.

heard footsteps, but thinking that
it was next door, paid little attention
but when she saw things in the down
stairs all pulled out and $3S and
gold watch missing, she started up
stairs. On reaching the top of the

WAR NOTES

Now that George Sylvester Viereck
Is coming into his own, has been
turned out Of the Authors League,
and is receiving his proper and long
overdue attention from the Depart
ment of Justice, 1t may not be out OF
place to point out that in October last
the Vigilantes called attention to his
activities in connection with the Agri-
cultural Labor Relief. AT that time
we made no specific charge against
Viereck, but merely pointed out Ia
several reputable American firms who
seemed to have been taken in by the
specious appeal of the Agricultural
Labor Relief that 1t was being backed
Iby Viereck's American Weekly. Such
an organization, OF course, gave this
industrious tool of the German pro.
lpaganda in America a fine opportun.
lily for placing alien enemies in posi-
lions throughout the country where
they could do the most harm. It now
appears upon investigation that the
Agricultural Labor Relief also fur
nished substantial financial relief to
| its ingenious originator. The mills
Of Uncle Sam grind slowly, but some
times they grind exceedingly small.
Even a Viereck cannot get by, Our
only regret is that he should have
been allowed to carry on his noxious
propaganda so much longer than
really seems to have been necessary
Perhaps we are impatient.
