RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Whereas our Heavenly Father has
called to higher service" Mrs.
Lottie B. Foster, loyal and great
ly loved member OF the L. c. u. d.
c., be il resolved,
That we, as a chapter, bow low
in humble submission TO His right
eous will, and thank our Heavenly
Father that we had the high privi-
lege of working with her in a cause
she held so dear to her heart. Her
information on all Confederate re-
cords was very thorough and her pa
triotism had not diminished, for
when the present war was begun she
again threw herself into the work as
she did in days OF old. Her fingers
were busily engaged in supplying
knitted goods for our soldier boys as
long as she was able to work. She
also taught the little children to knit.
2. That faithful in life, and in
death triumphant, she has left TO
loved ones and friends sweet mem
ories.
3. That our deepest sympathy Is
rendered to the children and rela-
tives in their sore bereavement.
4. That blank page in our min
ute book be inscribed to her memory,
and that the secretary be instructed
to send a copy OF these resolutions to
the family.

CANADA RESTRICTS
SALES OF SUGAR

Reports that the Canadian govern
ment is placing no restrictions on the
use Of sugar and that citizens of this
country, merely by crossing the bor-
der. may purchase in large amounts,
are emphatically denied by the United
States Food Administration.
The Canada food board recently is
sued a statement calling for a reduc-
tion of Canadian sugar consumption
to one and one-half pounds per person
per month-half a pound below the
honor ration" requested in this
country by the United States Food
Administration.
Citizens OF this country would be
running q serious risk II they at
tempted to purchase sugar in Canada.
Although restrictions there are placed
upon the purchaser rather than upon
the retail dealer, severe penalties are
provided for attempted expectation to
the United States without an individ-
ual export license from the Canadian
War Trade Board

GERMAN MORALE
FAST DECLINING

LONDON, Aug. 12.-People knowing
Germany say that unless a leader

morale will sink to the lowest depths
OF defeatism with lightning spsed.
The Cologne Gazette shows clearly
the extent of the losses and that the
morale Is gone.
Explaining the reason why Premier
Lloyd Georges recent speech in the
house OF commons was not published,
the Cologne Gazette said IT would be
putting its columns. at the disposal of
enemy propaganda" The paper won
ders why such speeches are not deIiv-
cred by German statesmen"

LAT|NS WOULDUSE
IDLE BOCHE SHIPS

Latin-America Is looking with ever
growing intolerance upon the great
numbers of idle German ships in
termed in South American ports, ac-
cording to . authoritative diplomatic
disclosures here today.
Representative diplomats who. are
in close touch with internal conditions
In the various republics admit that
the ipterned ship problem Is vital
one IN practically every one of the
countries that have not already en-
tered the war and turned the much
needed tonnage into entente trade
channels.
Demand for Seizure Strong.
Late reports from Argentina lndi-
cate that the popular demand there
has become SO strong that seizure OF
the Teuton mercantile feet on the
River Plata may be forced on the

the.money being held at Buenos Aires
until the close Of the war. 1t was
rumored at the time Of the sale that
the ship was turned over to the Ar
Kentines without cost In payment for
The torpedoed steamers. Toro ana
Monte Protegido, which the German
government agreed to replace.
The United Press is able to state
that the question has been raised oy
maritime interests in both Chile ana
Argentina as to whether the protec-
tIon which international law Anoros
to Interned vessels is not linnitable as
n duration. Both republics are very
much in need of additional shipping
facilities, and influential forces are
known to be urging that the hospi-
tality that has been accorded the Ger
mans for nearly four years be re-
Voked without further delay upon
grounds Of national necessity.
Industry COmDlains.
A recent arrival from Chile asserts
that the idle bottoms are having mucn
to do in overcoming the pro-German
sentiment in the west coast republic
He pointed out that the Industrial and
financial interests are complaining
that they could have more than
trebled Eie expansion Of .chile's MI
.trate production since the beginning
Of the war II sufficient tonnage had
been available.
Approximately 400, 900 tons Of Ger
man shipping of the 100000 in west
coast ports are under Chilean protec-
ton. 1t has been confidently expected
here that Peru would put the German
ships in her ports in service, follow
ing her seizure OF them some time
ago as q precautionary measure
against their destruction by German
crews. Similar action is expected on
the part of Uruguay, since her seizure
of interned ships at MonteVideo.
It Is the diplomatic belief that con-
tinued allied military successes in
France will have much weight in
settling the question OF the use of
these bottoms.

Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1918-08-09

To produce more food with less
help-this is what the farmers of
America are up against. 1t is a
serious problem, ana calls for new
methods of increasing production per
man and enabling the remaining men
on the farms to produce more than
was ever produced before even with
plenty of help. 1t doesn't mean
longer hours, because the limit has
been reached in this direction; but
more power and speed at the COM
mand of the men at home will pro-
duce the food necessary for winning
1.-THE war. The modern farm tractor
is the answer to this problem.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
says: '"The tractor industry, which
particularly lends itself to relieving
labor conditions, has developed rap
idly. Every possible use should be
made of these labor saving devices. +"
"It is important that our farmers,

CITY MEN DEMONSTRATE
ABILITY AS FARMERS
Organized As Twilight Squads
They Assist Farmers With
Harvesting

The business men of Morris are do
ing everything possible to help the
farmers harvest the crops and many
of them are spending their vacations
working on the farms in the county
where they are most needed. Those
that cannot get away during the day
are organized into twilight squads"
and each evening for the past two
weeks they have been leaving town in
automobiles about six o'clock and
then put in several hours in the fields
before dark. These squads are be-
ing used for shocking the cut grain,
the farmers getting the grain har-
vested during the day ready for the
men in the evening.
This work on the part of the bust
ness men is appreciated by the farm
ers and is great help to them. Just
to show what they are doing, on
Monday night of this week forty men
from Morris shocked LAS acres of
grain in about three hours. These
men were divided into several squads,
the largest squad containing Is men,
and these twenty-five men shocked
80 acres in less than three hours.
The work of organizing these
squads has been done by County
Agent Nash and at first the farm
ers were skeptical of the ability of
the city men to do the work, but the

Seed More Rye

An increased acreage of rye is re-
quested by the u. S. Department OF
Agriculture Now that rye -four is
one of our best substitutes for wheat
-four. this crop has received an ad-
ded Importance. AS a food 1T is al
most equal pound for pound with
wheat. Then it has the advantage of
giving higher average yield than
wheat On ten year average in
Minnesota wheat gave $40 pounds
per acre while rye gave Loaf pounds
per acre. 1t is more certain crop
than wheat and adapted to a poorer
quality of soil. All farms that are
uncertain in the production of wheat,
and if capable of producing rye, will
produce an important crop for the
country's food supply.
Rye may be seeded on early plowed
land following a grain crop, or up
on blowing following silo corn. The
earlier ground is plowed the better
seed bed it will make.
Seed early. Much damage of whit
er freezing comes from late seeding;
the plants being too weak to with
stand the winter. Seed the first part
of September, If possible UP to
September 20 ordinarily gives good
results. The early seeding has the
advantage of producing large strong
plants that will give winter protec
ton to the roots.
Small grain is still large part of
usually, a rush season. BY seeding
rye, the harvest will be extended and
labor will be better distributed. Rye
seeded in the fall means less grain
to seed in the spring, and more uni
form distribution of labor is thus OBJ
tanned.
