veritable storm OF things that greeted
Easter Sunday and when little had been seen

Important Meeting

Plans for the Three-in-one con-
vention of the Northern Mime
sofa Development Association,
embodying in its annual meeting
that Of the Minnesota Potato
Growers Association and the
Northern Minnesota Sheep Grow
ers' Association, will be discussed
at an important conference to be
held at Grand Rapids August II.
Grand Rapids is to entertain
the convention this year and al
ready plans are being made by
the Commercial club and promi-
nent citizens of that city to make
this the biggest and best gather
ing in the history of the winter
meetings Of the N. M. D. A.
The potato will occupy the Gen.
ter of the stage and experts will
discuss the adaptability of wa
rious varieties, grading and mar
keting as was done at the meet
ing in Brainerd last winter, at
which time the largest exhibit of
potatoes ever held in the state was
made, in the opinion of the state
fair experts and others. The po-
tato show and the boys and girls
potato contest established by the
N. M. d. A. will be an important
and interesting feature.
Legislation calculated to make
possible the profitable shipment

lumber for boxes and other ar
ticles and the overflow of valu-
able hay lands in the Leech lake
territory, another important SUBJ
ject now being investigated by

discussed.
There is every indication that
he Grand Rapids meeting on No
vember 20-21 will be a most i'm
oortant one and that the re-

The draft board went to Vir-
ginia Tuesday afternoon where a
meeting Of the boards Of the
range towns was held and a flu
ture plan of action discussed.
Nothing has been made public
but it has been limited that every
man not registered will get his as
soon as possible. Slackers are to
be special work on the part of the
officials of the range cities and
Duluth.
The board of District No. 3
have posted notices asking all
men to call for their final CLASH
fication cards and have them with
them at all times. This will be
found necessary by the men as
they may be asked at any time
to show their cards. Trouble can
be avoided by carrying the card.
Since the above was put in type
all but two of the men have been
turned loose by reason of their be-
ing aliens.

DRAGNET GETS 1877
Deputy Sherlffs and Home
Guards Bring In DeIInquents.

simultaneously with Duluth
Home Guards and draft officials
and Home Guards Of all the range
towns, drive was conducted in
this city Saturday evening by
deputy sheriffs and four SQUADS
OF Co. ID. A total of 1913 delin.
quents were arrested and brought
before the board from here, Win
ton and Section 80.
The raid was unannounced and
notwithstanding this fact many
OF the young fellows had gone to
the woods for their Sunday fish
ing trips and not as many were
brought in as was expected. The
draft board was in session almost
all of Saturday night before the
men had been questioned. The
larger part were aliens without
classification cards and after be-
ing questioned and fitted out with
the necessary documents were
sent home.
Two were held having been
found genuine slackers. Mon
day morning twelve more were
placed in custody. According to
advices from the Adjutant Gen.
eral the men will be sent to Fort
Smelling where they will be taken
care of by the proper authorities.
1t is to be hoped by all fair
minded citizens that these men
will be used for some useful pur-
pose. The idea of placing them
in Jail to be fed up by the gov
eminent is just what they are
looking for. They should not get
1t. The man who does not work
should not eat. We need all our
eats for the real fighting men of
the country.
Strange conditions developed
nm the questioning Of the evaders.
The birth rate in certain coun-
tries, notably Finland, in 1885, |
must have been record breaking. |
Out of the men picked up, two
thirds were born in that year and |
after June. This makes them 80 |
years OF age at the present time.
Several of them also testified
that they threw their passports
into the ocean, also their birth
certificates. All the facts ascer-
tanned pointed to the 1. w. w. pro-
paganda of last year to evade

address to the confrmants ir
which he gave them much fooG
for thought. During his address,
he also took occasion to eulogize
Father Buh. He paid him MANY
deserved tributes for his faithful
work in the priesthood during
the 60 trying years of>his admin.
istration. He recounted the early
years on the frontier in company
with the aged prelate and told of
hardships and devotion to the In.
dams when the snowshoe and the
dog team were the prevailing
method of travel between the
widely scattered settlers and In
dian camps. The story was in
strange contrast with the present
conditions and while recounting
some Of the early sacrifices there
were tears in many eyes. He
made the statement that a year s
pay at that time for the priest
was considerable less than what
many of the miners were making
at this time in a week.
Despite the ages of both Father
Buh and Bishop Trobec, they are
hale, hearty and vigorous. The
writer has known Father Buh for
the past thirty years and we
must say that many a younger
man envies the aged prelate his
nervousness. His appearance has
not altered appreciably in the
past thirty years and his spirit
for the betterment of the world
is just as pronounced as at that
time. His friends are numbered
by the list of his acqaintances
and his enemies are nil.
Up to last winter when Rev.
Buh removed to Duluth to take
charge Of the diocese as acting
bishop, he was a resident of this
city and had charge of the church
here besides attending to the
wants of the Indian school at
Tower. At that time he received
assistance in the person of Rev.
Frank Mihelcic, a young man
with advanced and American
ideals which he impresses ON his
congregation atevery opportunity.
The larger part of the congrega-
ton are heart and soul in his
work. Some naturally resent the
up-to-date manner Of the young
priest and cannot content them
selves with anything but the old
country way Of seeking salvation.
His work is bearing fruit and his
influence is being felt. He had sole
charge of getting the large class
in shape for confirmation and was
warmly congratulated by Bishop
Trobec.

Major Yost attributes the
slump to the fact that urgent

sections of the country and the

sent thousands of men to the

All signs point to a change in
the draft age limits as soon a.

The concensus Of opinion is that
the ages will be lowered as we'll

bility require the registration OF

from 81 to 40 years Of age. Such
changes would prove a boon to

while earnest and enthusiastic enough
in their desire to further the cause of

from the wrong end.
Now and then speaker would
mount the platform to harangue his
audience in this fashion,:
mo farmer is playing the agricul-
tural game to win IL he does not make
use of commercial fertilizers. They
are indispensable in successfully main
tanning high production of crops
through n period of years. On my own
farm | have used mixed fertilizers for
twenty years and my crops are as
large today as they were when the soil
was virgin. PROFESSIONALLY fertilizers
are the secret of my success"
No attempt was made to bring out
the fact that while such practice
might have worked out well enough
on the particular farm of the particu-
lar lecturer, in the particular locality
in which he resided, it might not do at
all in another agricultural region
where the soil was of a radically diff
ferent type, or where others equally
variable factors entered in.
In the case of the one-day, two-day
and three-day schools, which will be
conducted by county agents and eX-
tension specialists, cooperating with
the local farm bureaus, all such topics
win be approached from the stand
al, fn1n
lying soil management, the rational
feeding of live stock, and so on, so
that hearers can apply the informa-
ton given to their own needs without
any fear that it will breed trouble for
them. The schools will be open TO all
who would attend. Institutes will,
however, be conducted i'm a few places,
though where they are arranged for
they will be patterned after the
schools.
