PATRIOTIC HUNTER GIVES
MOUNTED BUCKS HEAD
TO RED CROSS CHAPTER

Nels Sjoberg, who has been en-
ployed on the farm of III. w. Alsop
nine miles south Of Blackduck, has
shown his patriotism and interest," in
the Red Cross by donating a hand
some buck deer head, mounted, to the
Red Cross to be sold and the money
devoted to the war work.
The head is beautiful and the ami
NAL was shot some time ago by Mr.
Sjoberg, who brought the head tC

EFFORTS TO AMEND
WERE ALL DEFEATED
Attempts to Have Government
Pay for Unsold Liquor
Promptly Squelched

Washington, Sept 24,-National
prohibition, effective next July !, for
the period Of the war, was approved
last night by the house, which adopt
ed I'll to "a, the senate prohibition
rider to the $12 100000 emergency
agriculture appropriation bill. The
measure now will be sent to confer
ence for adjustment of difference be-
tween the two ho' ses on appropria-
tion items. q - % "@ n
The house adopted, 1903 to 81, an
amenument permitting the importa-
ton Of wine until next May /. which
was inserted by the house committee
to meet objections Of the Italian,
French, Spanish and Portuguese gov
ernments. AS 0rininally drawn the
measure would have prohibited the
importation of wines Immediately
after it's approval by the president.
4. Amendments Defeated
All efforts otherwise to amend the
legislation were defeated. A proposal
by Representative Kahn of Califor-
MIA, Republican, to extend the effec-
tive date for prohibiting the sale Of
wine and beer to December 81 y 1919,
was defeated, 112, to 81, as was one
by Representative Breshlin Of Penn
sylvania, Democra J, to change the
date for stopping the manufacturing
Of beer and wine from next May Ito
.December1, 1919.
Decision Reversed. S&
After voting in the committee Of
the whole to accept an amendment
permitting the importation Of wine
until May J., the house later reversed
IT'S decision and by vote of 121 to
50 retained the original senate pro-
vision that Importation of wine must
cease when the measure becomes eff
fective upon its signature by the pres
ident. The amendment was approved
by the house agriculture committee
to meet an objection by the govern
ments of France, Italy, Spain and
Portugal. r's
-Four other amendments. two Of
which sought to have the government
pay for the liquor unsold when prohi-
bition becomes effective, also were
rejected
~ Won't PAY for Unsold. yo@
Representative Gordon of Ohio,
proposed that the internal revenue
bureau be authorized to make the
payment, but was ruled out of order
as was subsequent proposal by Rep
resentative SABBATH of Illinois, to pro-
vide fund Of $250,000,000 for the
same purpose. -
z The other amendments voted down
were by Representative Igoe Of Mis-.
souri,, who sought to-limit prohibition
to the declaration Of peace instead Of
the rehabilitation OF the army and
by Representative Cannon Of Illinois,
who tried to have stricken out the
provision recently enacted into law.

and similar questions flooded the fire
department last night when the big
whistle at the box factory started go

500 calls rung in and all he had time
to do was answer telephone calls,
The cause of the general disturb

the United States Food administrator and the Federal Food administrators of the different states?
 They receive~no salaries; they give their services to the government
 16. Why does the Food administra- ton seem to change it's policy in many of it's rulings?
 Because, although the purpose re- mains the same, new factors con- stantly arise in our present disturbed condition which make necessary a re- adjustment of method and policy to that purpose.
 17. Why is beef one of the meats We are asked to save for the Allies?
 Because it is a concentrated food and keeps well.
 IS. Is there "a shortage of beef in Europe?
 Yes; there has been 8 large decrease of cattle in Europe since the war be- gan.
 19. Why is it difficult to raise cat tie there?
 Because of lack of men to tend cat tie, insufficient fodder, and no means of growing enough fodder because much land has to be plowed up for grain and other human food.
 20. Why is cattle shortage partic- ularly serious?
 Because it means not only less meat but also less milk.

The month of June. which is gen. erally the month of roses and brides, has been far behind it's usual aver age this year and records in the city clerks office show that only 50 we'd dings have taken place in the city since the first of the month.
 In previous years the month of June has been the banner month for weddings and usually the total has reached well up toward 100. This year, however. owing to the war and the uncertainty of conditions, the marriage market has suffered a se- we're slump.
