DISLOYAL RICH MAN
REFUSES TO GIVE RED CROSS so.
LICITOR "A DAMN CENT" 1T
is ALLEGED.

Aberdeen, Janu 2S.-Disloyal ut
terances last month during the
Christmas drive of the Red Cross
have brought a wealthy Mcpherson
county farmer face to face with the
federal government in war time.
Jacob j. Huber, a farmer reputed
to be worth 100000, was arrested
and brought to Aberdeen yesterday
by Deputy Marshal A. w. Claussen.
Last evening he was bound over
to the next term of the federal court
in May at a hearing before United
States Commissioner William Wal
lace. His bail was fixed at $1,000 and
a sufficient bond was submitted SO
that he has not been locked up.
According TO the story which at
tended the case, Huber is accused OF
having refused to give anything fol-
the Red Cross when a solicitor visited
him at his home in Weber township
Instead, this is what he is accused OF
having said:
II won't give you a damn cent
III those s. Of want to &C
over there and get killed let them
go.
And IL they ever get me over
there. I'll drop my gun and go owe
and help the Germans"
Now he will be given an opportu.
nifty to explain his language before g
federal jury.

SEED CORN SCARCITY
SCARCITY EXTENDS OVER A
WIDE AREA-TEST ALL
CORN.

Minneapolis, Jan. 28.-That saving
of all possible seed corn by the farm
ers of the country is an absolute ne
cessity IL there Is to be a crop next
year, Is the assertion of Northrup,
King & Company. of Minneapolis, n
of the largest seed firms in the west.
They make the assertion that only
20 per CEN of the normal supply OF
SEED corr is available for planting
through the northwest and hat not
an ear can be wasted. They issue the
following warning to farmers:
There are very few in the north
west who realize the actual condi-
tions regarding the extreme shortage
of corn which Is suitable for seeding
purposes during the coming spring.
Practically all of the 1917 crop was
frosted in September and further
affected by cold weather in October.
1t did not mature to the point where
il made suitable seed corn and there
is but a small fraction of the 1917
crop which will make seed, and that
is in widely scattered communities
where conditions were unusually ia
vorable. Not only are the states of
wisconsin, Minnesota, North and
South Dakota affected, but this con-
dltion is general for all Nebraska,
Iowa, northern Illinois. northern In
diana, and to some extent into Mis-
souri, and Kansas.
so far as possible. 1916 crop corn
should be used for seed purposes, but
unfortunately most of that has been
disposed Of, because of the high val
ues which have prevailed for corn
during the last year.
"At our suggestion, the United
States government, through the me-
dunn of the federal reserve banks, bu.
reau of markets and experiment sta
tons, have urged every farmer to test
any corn he might have which coul
possibly be used for seed. Farmers
have been requested to cure in q dry
place such corn, and to saw for their
neighbors or others not so fortunate
ly fixed such seed as they might have
In excess OF their own requirements
We have furnished many articles fol
newspapers, banks and farm papers
calling attention to the seriousness oil
the present shortage.
"Seedsmen this year are unable tc
supply but a very small percentage OF
the demand, In fact, 1t has been esti'
mated that not to exceed 20 per cent
OF the required quantity OF seed corr
is available for planting in the terri
tory named above this year. 1t Ii
therefore essential that every single
ear of corn which is fit for seed pur
poses should be used In that way.
What good seed corn is worth is &
question hard to answer 1t has beer
reported that farmers In southern
Minnesota and southeastern South
Dakota are trading corn back ant
forth at from SIS to $40 per bushel
From the standpoint of cost per acre
seed corn at SIS per bushel Is les'
expensive than any other grain, cost
ing less than oats, wheat, barley, flal
or rye.
Corn is n of our most vital crops
and every effort should be exerted t.
plant as large an acreage as possible.

STARTLING RESULTS IN MADISON

People report Incredible results
from pure Lavoptik eye wash. A girl
with weak, strained eyes was helped
by one application. Her mother
could not sew or read because of eye
pains. In one week her trouble was
gone. A small bottle OF Lavoptik is
guaranteed to help every case of
weak, strained or inflamed eyes. One
wash startles with its incredible re-
suits. Pure aluminium eye cup free.

Must Keep Level Heads

The. American people have need of level heads in consider ing the exposures and criticisms made by Senator Chamberlain, Theodore Roosevelt and others, What there is of fair criticism in these should be given fair consideration and the mistakes should and will be corrected. But for these gentlemen to make the sweeping assertion that the American military ma chine has broken down, be- cause of the surprisingly small number of cases of lack of SUD- plies, medical aid and hospital care, is extremely unfair, un- wise and even unpatriotic. In the Los Angeles Examiner of January 28, appears an editor ial in which are made a num- Der of statements of fact which the American people should keep constantly . in mind in judging the work of President Wilson and the war depart ment. A few of these state ments are quoted below:
 '1t is obvious to any impar- tial mind that the greater part of the mistakes which have been made were made in the hurried and wholly patriotic effort to provide an enormous number of soldiers with an enormous amount of equipment in an impossibly short space of | time.
 Those errors, as we have said can be corrected. They are not fatal. They do not affect | the morale of the nation; they depress no American spirits they weaken no American reso- Iution to go through the fight to the finish"
 We know very we'll that the

administration has made mis- takes. Everybody else knows it. And everybody who has any sense at all knows that at such time as this and under such conditions MISTAKES ARE BOUND TO BE MADE. The only wonder is that ten times as many were not made" '"
 Starting from condition of deplorable unpreparedness
 the President has in eight short months put the country on stronger and bet ter military footing than any other unprepared nation ever arrived at in three times eight months"
 The faults found with the War Department, and the mis- takes which it has made, while regrettable, are small when compared with the gigantic ac- complishments already effect ed in the way of military pre- paredness. It should be borne in mind that Secretary Baker has been in his present official position but a comparatively short time and that he has been confronted with an undertak- ing many times greater than was ever put up to any former secretary of war. Secretary Baker has made a good show ing and if he accomplishes as much, comparatively, during the next eight months as he has in the past, our Allies will have absolutely no ground for com plaint in regard to the part we shall then have taken in the war.

RED LAKE VALLEY

A bit of excitement was cre- ated in Red Lake when it was discovered that Mrs. Bud" Hardesty who had been expos ed to the small pox while in Williams was down with the disease. The Frank Bou1in ranch which the Hardestyss are occupying this year being three miles from the nearest ranch, is an ideal isolation hospital. Dr.
 Jefries came out and took all necessary measures: vaccinat- ed the school children whose parents would consent thereto, so that there is no danger of the disease spreading. MT. Kin cannon who had been exposed, was also vaccinated. His vac cination has not taken and there are no symptoms of the di- sease. At Dr. Jeffries' second visit, he found Mrs. Hardesty up and around doing the work, MT. Hardesty having developed symptoms of the disease.
 The meeting of the Re dLake Woman's Club at the home of M. D. Boyett was very we'll at tended. Many of the girls of the valley had accepted the Boyett hospitality so that it seemed as if there were a meeting of the Junior Red Cross as we'll. The work is hand was knitting and the top ic of conversation, vaccination and smallpox, prejudice against vaccination seeming to prevail. : The points were made that though vaccination might cause some discomfort, it did not cause death, while the ravages of smallpox were fear full, that vaccination did pre- vent the disease as we'll as pro- tect other members of the com 
 Knitting turned in was a sweater by Mrs. A. w. Strange, sweater by Mrs. c. B. Hume, socks by Mrs. Mary Jane Dan cer. New knitters are Miss Tess Thomasson, Mrs. Ernest Kincannon, Mrs. Cebe Boyett, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. c. c. Carpen- ter.
