100000 MORE HOGS
is NATIONS NEED

The United States Department of
Agriculture is organizing national
campaign for 100000 more hogs or a
Is per cent increase in. hog production
next year The officials in charge say
the campaign will succeed if every state
will do it's share. From Missouri,
which is asked for so per cent more
hogs, to West Virginia, to which is
allotted only per cent increase the
state quotas have been carefully and
logically worked out according to the
corn and other feed supplies of the
states.
If the states do not reach the quotas
set for them, more acute shortage of
pork products than now prevails will
result, extremely high prices for hams,
bacon and lard will prevail consumers
will suffer- from the high prices and the
shortage of necessary animal fats, and
only a few will benefit. Prices to the
producer should be remunerative under
the assistance pledged by the. food ad-
ministration, and prices paid by con-
sumers should be reasonable.

FARMERS CREAMERIES

extension division, Minnesota College
Of Agriculture, says farmers III Mime
sofa make from 81 to $15 year more
per COW by selling their cream to a good
cooperative creamery, than by ship

CURE made a comparison of prices paid
to farmers for butterfat by the best CO.
operative creameries; the poorest CO.
operative credmeries, the individual
creameries, and the centralized cream
cries of the state from March 1916 to
March 1917. The average price paid by
the best cooperative creameries was
1000 cents a pound as against 1928
cents per pound paid by the centrali-

POOR SERVICE.

Sometime during the year Of 1917 a
farmer mailed his check to catalogue
house for the purchase Of a small kero-
sene engine because the engine was so
well advertised Thought he would
have no trouble, but he did have a lot
of it when he tried to burn kerosene.
After trying faithfully for several days
he gave it up and wrote the house for
more complete instructions than those
sent with the engine.
In reply to his letter came one which
told him to follow the instructions sent
with the engine, simply that and moth
ing more. OF course, the owner
stormed and kicked. But what good
did it do him? 81.
For 1918 buy your kerosene iengines
where you get good and reliable service,
namely, at the Warren Machine e Iron
Works Co., Inc.

NO MORE men TO Be
CALLED BEFORE FEB. IS

According to the following telegram
from Provost Marshal General Crowder
to Governor Burnquist, no more men
will be called for military service be-
fore Feb. 18th:
1T has been decided that there will
be no more formal calls for deferred
percentages Of the present quota before
February 18th. While boards should,
until they have enough men finally
classified in class 1,send forward
promptly men selected under the old
regulations to make up deficiencies in
calls already made, the result of this
decision will be that we shall be able to
give the benefit Of the new classification
system to: all men whose order numbers
are so late as. to place them within de-
ferred percentages of the present call.
"Calls will, however, be made very
shortly under the provisions Of Section
149 for the special class of men there
mentioned. For the sake of composing
the public mind and for the convenience
Of registrants this information ought to
be given wide dissemination
Questionaires, however, must be sent
in to the Local Board within the time
limit stated therein and Physical Ex-
aminations and Classifcations will go
forward as rapidly as possible.

i NO NEWS is GOOD NEWS.

Although the failure to receive letters
from\men in the service is not pleasant
to relatives and friends at home the
adage mo news is good news" never
was more true than at present The
report Of every casualty at home or
abroad is Immediately wired or cabled
to officials at Washington being relayed
from there without loss Of time to the
emergency address of the soldier or
sailor affected. It is also at once re-
leased for publication in the. news
papers, No news of casualties has or
will be held up. -. J.
i. No man in the service has received
orders not to write home; he has been
urged, on the contrary, to keep in touch
with relatives and friends. The forces
in France have at their disposal post
cards giving general informal ton in re-
gard to health and the receipt Of letters
and parcels, which may be dispatched
without payment Of postage.
Care lis, also taken to see that mail in
tended for soldiers and sailors reaches
them promptly. Where the regimenta]
and company designation of a soldier is
not known it may be secured by appli-
cation to The Adjutant Generals office
Washington, D. G. In one week 1864
letters with insufficient addresses were
received at this office. On 1882 the ad.
dresses were completed and they were
forwarded, 1913 were returned to send:
ers, So went to the dead-letter office
because senders' addresses. were not
given, and the balance were held with
the view that the addresses might be
completed later.

DUROC JERSEYS FROM

Prof. R. G. Ashby, specialist in charge
Of swine at University Farm, st. Paul,

LEGUME- HAYS AS g
~ OFFSET FOR GRAIN

One hundred and seventy-five pounds
of good alfalfa or clover hay is worth
as much as one hundred pounds Of the
ordinary grain feeds. With the present
prices for feeds ranging from $35 ton
for bran to $S5 per ton for corn, the
average cost for 100 pounds of grain is
about $2.75. The cost Of it's food equiv
alent in the form Of It's pounds. of
legume hay is $2.15. This much hay
will produce 200 pounds Of milk and
effect a saving in feed cost of 60 cents,
each hundred pounds.
The utilization Of such hay partly
solves the dairyman's problem in these
days of high feed cost and milk in
vestigations. - !

FIRE DESTROYS
OLD LANDMARK
Scandal Hotel Building on West Side,
Built in 1881, Quilted BY Fire and
Water Early Saturday Morning.

The old Scandal otel-building On the
west side was destroyed by fire on Sat
urday morning of . last week. The
building was occupied under lease as a
meat market by Oscar johnson, who
was at his place of business early in
the morning and started a wood fire in
the stove. He left to get a cup of
coffee at Henry Bengtsons place and
upon his return found the building in a
blaze, evidently caught from a chimney
fire. The fire alarm was turned in al
most Immediately after the seven
O'Clock whistle at the mill had blown
and Warren's volunteer fire department
turned out quickly to fight the fire fend
Notwithstanding that the temperature
was 80 below zero. Fortunately the air
was quite still and no difficulty was ex-
perienced in combining the flames to the
building, which of itself stood isolated
from other buildings. The interior of
the structure was sealed with lumber
and burned for an hour or two before
the flames were subdued. Now the
outer frame work only remains, badly
Scorched and covered with ice and
icicles both outside and inside, a VERT
able ice palace. Thus another old land
mark from the early days has passed
out of existence.
The building was erected in 1881 by
John Erickson, now resident of town
of Augsburg, who ran a hotel there for
short time. A few years later Otto
Edwardh bought the property, made ex-
tensiye improvements thereon and con-
.acted hotel there for a couple years
or more. Next Charles Woolery and
later Hugh McManus had the building
leased and conducted hotel business
there for several years. About 1885,
Peter Lindquist bought the property
and conducted hotel there as. long as
he lived, and after his death Mrs. Lind
Quist continued the business for a num-
Der of years. She sold the valuable
corner property to the Swedish Ameri-
can State Bank few years ago, and on
the site the bank intends to erect
handsome bank building in the near
future, perhaps next summer if@swars
conditions will permit. .-..@c- e.. u.
Oscar johnson was able to save only
a small part of his stock Of meats. His
loss is partly covered by Insurance.

COUNTY BOYS ARRIVE
SAFELY in CALIFORNIA
Edward Nelson Tells of Pleasant Trip
to Calif0rnia.-BOys Enjoy
Christmas Spread.


Editor of the Warren Sheaf: FL
It does not seem like Christmas to
the boys here, in California. All day
yesterday tried to realize it was
Xmas day but as the weather is so
nice and the trees and landscape so
green it was anything but Xmas to the
boys from Minnesota, who are used to
snow and cold weather. r.
At dinner we had real Christmas
spread, with turkey, apple sauce, pota-
toes, salad, green peas, corn and coffee
with cream, also butter. We sure can
eat when mess call comes, after drilling
a couple of hours. Nobody thinks about
table manners here It's pass or shoot
the cow for milk and shoot the Fido
for meat Nobody can complain about
food or anything here. ..<
Our, trip out here was certainly an
educating one North Dakota did not
appeal to me at all, as couldn't help
but compare the Red River Valley
around Warren with the sand hills and
rocks of that part Of Dakota and east
ern Montana thru which we passed.
We went thru the Glacier National
Park and that was great lesson in it.
self. Thru the Rocky mountains it was
one continual surprise after another.
As had never seen a mountain before,
you can imagine my interest in these
sights One Of the first things 1 reali-
zed was the stupendous task it must be
to build a railroad thru mountain
range; and also the immense amount Of
money required. I also have some idea
of what a great country our United
States is. Z };s,<.:s. -,
The Cascade mountains we're by far
the most beautiful, as far as scenery
goes. The Southern Pacific railroad
follows the Columbia river for miles
and miles and the road is all curves and
tunnels. b .,
We had fine service on the Great
Northern, but after we left Spokane, we
went over the Union Pacific and didn't
have any DINING cars, so our meals
were very irregular, and from Portland
to San Francisco we went over the
Southern Pacific and it got still worse.
