by Mr.. Chas. H. Christilaw, of Glen
wood, as chief, started to make a de-
tailed inventory of all the property
OF the Tri-State Telephone & Tele-
graph Company devoted. to the long
distance or toll service. The task of
appraising the value of the toll lines
In Minnesota was imposed upon the
State Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission by the last legislature, and
the Commission entrusted the actual
work to Mr., D. F. Jurgensen, it's Chief
Engineer. -~
He has about 10000 miles of toll
pole lines extending to every corner
of the state to enter upon his reports,

that the outside work will be finished

The notes now being taken will not

The Minnesota Recruiting District
is somewhat elated over the fact that
in April, 1,103 recruits were secured
in the state, which is believed to be
the highest record In the country.
When the final count was made for
May, however, it was found that 1,240
recruits had entered the service. A
rush of men during the last few days
OF the month Melted It's May 81, which
was the banner day for the month.

est In the big swine show at the
Minnesota State Fair, September
to Z.
Farmers are being urged to raise
more hogs not only because OF the
scarcity Of fats but on account of
the scarcity of meat. Hogs multi
ply five or six times as rapidly as
any other meat animal. A SOW will
produce two filters of pigs in one
year, or three filters In two years,
each litter averaging from five to
six pigs. The hog has no rival as
a consumer Of garbage, damaged
grains, and other unmarketable
foods which generally go to waste.
They thrive on forage crops and
pasturage.
Fatty Meats Needed.
1t Is because pork is a fatty
meat, though, that it has become
so essential. The human body must
have fatty food in certain quantity,
or health is certain to be impaired.
Fatty foods have become so scarce
In other parts of the world that
The condition is getting serious.

America simply must increase its
production of hogs, or the loss OF
hundreds of thousands of lives else
where is certain to result.
In. the face OF this unusual de-
mand for pork the production Of
hogs in America has decreased rap
Idly In the last few years. From
1913 to 1916 there was an increase
of about 6,25o,000 hogs In the Unit
ed States, but since then there has
been such a rapid decrease that
we have fallen far behind in our
Efforts to meet the greater Europe

was exported before the Great War

WAS PUT OUT OF BUSINESS
Restaurant Keeper Finds It Impossible
to Defy the Food Administration.

Joseph Woods, a restaurant keeper
Of 513 Main street, Little Falls, n. T.,
has gone out of business because he
refused to square himself with the
United States food administration. He
will not be permitted to open another
place until he meets his obligations to
the food administration and gives as
surances that he will obey its laws.
Woods was found guilty of violating
the food rules, and after hearing he
requested that he be permitted to con-
tribute S25 to the Red Cross rather
than have his place closed for one
week This was accepted. After pay
ing So he declined to make further
payment and assumed a very hostile
attitude toward the food administra-
ton officials who had his case in
charge. An unfair order was then Is
sued against him. preventing him from
buying any more supplies. He then
closed his place and left Little Falls.
An order has been issued from
Washington that no license be issued
to Woods nor VIII he be able to buy
food supplies until he makes amends.

PLEDGE CARDS ARE
REVIVED FOR IOWA
EVERY WOMAN HAS A CHANCE
TO ENROLL WITH THE ARMY
FOR FOOD CONSERVATION
IN THIS STATE.

Although more than 100000 women
signed food pledge cards when the
United States food administration put
on a campaign to that end in this
state last fall, reports to United States
Food Administrator J. f. Deems at
Burlington are to the effect that Iowa
women are eager to renew their al
legiance to the cause Of food conser-
vation, and many who were not reached
In the former campaign are anxious
for chance to Join the army of food
pledgers and to display in their win
dows the golden emblem Of the food
administration which signing the
pledge to conserve food gains for
them.
Administrator Deems has sent out a
letter to the chairmen of the women's
committee of his organization in which
he outlines plan to give every wonl-
an chance to sign the pledge cards.
He says:
I'VE are interested in having each
Iowa housewife sign the food pledge
and get into the game of conservation.
1t is one Of the principal duties which
housewives have to perform during the
war. 1t has been suggested by one of
the county chairmen of the women's
committee that these pledge cards
might be deposited at certain central
points and all persons who failed to
sign before be given the opportunity
of signing now if they so desire.
Conservation Is still one of the
vital points of our national war pro-
gam. This is especially SO at this
time in view of the sugar situation. We
urge, therefore, that you undertake to
handle the pledge cards in the manner
described above in order to give all
those who failed TO sign before an op-
portunity to obtain them now.
The food administration window
cards are available in quantities and
should you desire to further distribute
these emblems OF service among the
housewives in your county we will be
glad indeed to forward you such guam
tity as you deem desirable or neces-
sary. A food administration emblem
card should appear in the window OF
every housewife who Is giving volun'
tary service to the food administration
and through II to the nation in the
conservation OF sugar and wheat"

bedside when he died, and was with
him for several weeks of his illness.
Z

AS soon as the United States enter
ed the war, James Neill desired to
get into the fighting for his country.
His mother objected at first, and sew
eral times he yielded to her objections
during the year previous to his en-
listment Finally. last July, she con-
sented to his enlistment in the navy.
for which he desired to relinquish his
schooling.
Not long after he joined the colors
at Great Lakes, he was taken sick.
His last illness created no great alarm,
and he seemed to be getting along
well all last week. But Sunday his
heart failed and he died rather sud
denly.

Keokuk High school and very popular
there z.nong his fellow pupils.
He was member OF the United
