The following is worth the con-
sideration of some of our town
folks:
Editor Star: l clipped this
piece out of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. Will you please print it in
the Star? 1t gives my views ex-
actly. If the ladies in town
would do more of their own work
we could have more help on the
farm. With most of our boys
gone and most of the negroes
working in town it makes it hard
for the farmers wife and daug
ter.

A Farmers Wife Speaks Her,
Mind
Mr.. Editor: If you will allow
me space | will drop in a few
words on how we Americans can
win the war.
We want to win and must win,
but it can't all be done by econo-
my of the farmers and farmers
wives. There has been lot of
talking, speaking and writing on
the subject of economy, all of
which has been addressed to the
wives of farmers. There are not
many farmers wives who have
not done their part and have been
all the while.
1t is springtime and there is a
great demand for farm hands,
and we, the farmers wives, can
take our babies to the field and
set them down under bush in
cracker box and hoe back and
forth while two or three little
ones play around the box. This
is often seen on the farm.
And there is another scene, Of
ten witnessed in the cities, and
that is nurse in the back yard
with the children while the moth
ers are at card parties and recep-
tions, or some other social func-
tion. do not know anything a.
bout those societies, but | read a.
bout them. They do a lot to win
the war, they say; but they could
do more; they could send their
colored nurses out in the country
and help us farmers wives work
on the farms, and attend to their
own children like | have to do.
They could do their own cooking
and send their cooks to the farms
where they are much needed to

GOVERNMENT POWDER PLANTS
PLANNED IN JANUARY
NOW IN OPERATION.

Operation has begun in two Govern
ment powder plants two months ahead
of schedule. When the task Of build
ing the plants was considered by the
War Department in January it was
predicted that the production of
powder might begin in August, barring
unforeseen delays.
The $120,000,OOO allotted for the
plants is expected to give the Govern
ment smokeless powder production
capacity equal to all other American
plants combined In construction of
the plants it was found necessary to
build new town on each site to house
the employees, and approximately g.
900 buildings we're erected. Streets
were put down and severed, power
plants constructed, and stores and hos
pitfalls built Approximately $4,000
men worked on construction and about
10000 will eventually be engaged in
the actual production of powder.

Some Social Doings in FOldahl.

A pleasant surprise was given. last
Friday evening to- the newly married
couple, Theodore Lofgren and wife, at
their home in section two, by large
number of friends, who arrived in
thirty automobiles. The newlyweds
were presented with a dining room
table, and chairs and some money, the
presentation being made by Ole ].
Westman. Refreshments were served
and good time enjoyed by all. Mrs.
Melin, the mother Of the bride, gave a
we'll attended reception to the happy
couple on Thursday evening.
On Saturday night last large num-
Der of neighbors and friends surprised
Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Svean on the oc-
casion of their silver wedding. The
affair was also in the nature of a house
warming, the family having just moved
into their fine new home. It was also
a farewell to son Carl, who was one of
the Marshall county boys who left for
Camp Grant on Monday. Rev. Gilseth,
of Newfolden, spoke appropriate words
for the occasion.

the man, who is worth calling man,
who does not put forth his best efforts

And the severest criticism that can
come to any man is not to find fault

that he has not gained the approval of
his fellows, but when he is approved
he gives his best effort,

The Small College.

However much the State may pro-
vide large and we'll equipped establish
ments for higher education, there will
always be place for the smaller col
lege supported by private contributions.
At the time State universities and high
schools had a new birth, thirty or
forty years ago, many of the smaller
colleges were languishing for lack of
support. 1t seemed then that the end
of the local college was at hand. But
today this class of schools is better
supported and better appreciated than
ever before.
Even if the influence of these schools
was merely local, their work would
justify their being. The town that has
grown up about a college, each grow
ing with equal pace, the town in which
the college has been both municipal
child and municipal mentor, takes on
a high moral and intellectual character
such as can come to it in almost no
other way. "a college town" expresses
a type of municipal character we'll I'M
derstood among us and always respect
fully understood.
Higher education will always be had
by those who are untiringly determined
to get it. But more will get it, if the
hindrances to it's acquisition are fewer.
Consequently there are usually more
college graduates in and about college
town than though the college we're a
little farther removed. A citizen of a
Minnesota college town, speaking re-
Gently of the effect of the college on the
town, said: my parents came to this
town from Norway in 1880 and raised
a family of eleven children-and all Of
us were graduated from the college,"
In this case the proximity of the col
lege and the fact that the family were
members of the religious denomination
supporting the college, probably ac-
counted for the higher education of at
least portion Of the family. And the
chances that the immediate descend
ants of these children will receive a
higher education are heightened, be-
cause the school was close to their par
ents' door.
CAAN
children who happen to be born near it.
It draws to the town and vicinity as
permanent residents, people whose
chief ambition is a higher education
for their children, and whose choice is
to live in community that favors
higher morals and higher education.
SO the town grows by natural selec-
ton of population of choice quality.
There is much to be said in favor OF
the college whose student population is
not too large to shut out personal touch
with the choice spirits among the
faculty. The small college. we'll sup
ported cannot be spared. It is still
