 Hogs do not like to eat corn alone any more than people would like to eat bread alone. Why not give the hogs some vegetables (forage) with their bread (corn)? They will not only grow faster and larger, but will yield a greater profit.
 These hogs were litter mates, but one was fed on corn alone and the other on corn and forage. Which kind do you prefer to raise!
 Produce more forage and more hogs and help Arkansas increase her num- Der of "porkers" 100000 head this year. Ask your county agent for in formation and bulletins.

Sawyer Ladies Working Red Cross
Quilt

A beautiful Red Cross quilt is being
worked at Sawyer by Mrs. ]. L. Nc
Kinnon and Miss Jessie Cox, two of
the most prominent Red Cross work
ers of that little city. Mrs. McKin-
non was in Minot yesterday securing
names to be worked on the quilt. An
effort is being made to secure a thous-
and names which Mrs. McKinnon
alone will work on the quilt. Miss
Cox is sewing the crosses on the
back of the quilt. This is big
undertaking for these ladies but they
are faithful and eventually will have
the work completed. 1t costs 25
cents to get ones name embroidered
on the large center cross and 10 cents
for each name on the small squares.
1t is hoped that $100 will be realized
from the names and after the quilt is
completed, it will be sold at auction
1t is estimated that the quilt will
bring at least S10O, thus the quilt is
apt TO net the Red Cross fully 5000.

N. A. N0RTHRUP
ACCEPTED IN THE
. AVIATION CORPS
Minot Young Man, After Being Turn
! ed Down Five Times, is Finally
Rewarded.

After being rejected five times in
the Aviation Corps of the U. S. army,
M. A. Northrup, of this city, has by
his pluck at last been accepted. Last
August Mr. Northrup made an at
tempt to get into the aviation service
but was rejected. After being turned
down, he got an authorization from
the Surgeon General to be re-exam-
ined, and he passed this examination
Dec. II, 1917, after having his tonsils
removed. After being turned down in
the aviation corps, Mr.. Northrup was
taken into the select draft army and
has been working for his appointment
thru military channels since. No
young man has ever tried harder to
get into this service and his many Mi
not friends know that he will make
good.
He will now take the same course
of training that Chester Jacobson,
Charles Palda and Art Solberg of this
city are receiving. Mr.. Northrup is
a grandson of Mrs. Markham of this
city. He is at present at Camp
Dodge, awaiting orders.

view Tribune has been refused per-
mission to be distributed through the

farmer LOST
HOME BY FIRE
Arlie Irwin, Wife and Babe Walk
Thru Bitter Cold to Neighbor's
Clad Only in Night Clothing

The farm home of Arlie Irwin burn
ed to the ground completely a week
ago Tuesday morning at three o'clock
at the Irwin farm eighteen miles
south of Minot. Mr.. Irwin was
awakened by the smoke and managed
to get his wife and four-rnonths old
babe out in time, but the family es-
capped with only the night clothing
which they wore. Mr.. Irwin grabbed
bed quilt and pair of shoes as he
rushed out of doors. The shoes hap
pened to have rubbers over them, and
he wore the rubbers, putting the shoes
on his wife. The quilt was wrapped
about the babe. The morning was
bitter cold, the thermometer register
ing 80 degrees below zero. They
made their way quarter of mile
to the home Of neighbor. Mr..
Irwin's ears were badly frozen.
It is believed that the fire was
started by mice gnawing matches in a
cupboard, for Mr.. Irwin noticed that
the blaze started at considerable dis
tance from the stove.
Mr.. Irwin lost all of his household
effects and he had just returned from
Minot where he stocked up on gro
ceries, enough to last until spring.
Neighbors have come to the assistance
of the unfortunate family nobly and
the Hilton township Red Cross So
ciety is doing much to get them es-
tablished again. Frank Long came
to Minot Tuesday, and visited the Cox
Emmerson, Rogers, Great Northern
and Piper Howe lumber yards, and
each yard has contributed $25 worth
of lumber for new home. The
Jacobson & Fugelso, Minot Hardware
and New York stores have contribut-
ed toward the building which will be
started at an early date.

Minot Folks Enjoy Life in California


L. D. McGahan, publisher of the
Messenger, has returned from Califor-
MIA, where he spent. several weeks
with his wife, who is spending the
winter there for her health. Mrs. Nc
Gahan is gaining in flesh and is feel
ing much better and it is believed that
she will fully recover in time.
Mr.. McGahan toured southern Cali
fornia by auto and managed to get an
opportunity to visit several Mexican
points. He says it is about as hard
to get permission to cross the Mexican
border as it is to get into Heaven.
At Los Angeles he sat in the lobby
of a hotel one morning. Soon Knute
Hagen and wife walked in, then Mr..
and Mrs. Ellison and daughter, Ruth;
l.. M. Due came along, and finally E.
A. Shirley, wife and children. There
were in all 23 Minot folks at the place
finally. One sees North Dakotans
wherever he goes. w. 2. Mansfield
is there enjoying life but he looked in
vain for Gov. Bond.
Mr.. McGahan's brother is the owner
of string of hat stores in Los An
geles.
AT San Diego he was entertained
at the F. E. Graves ranch. Mr.. Graves
was once engaged in the real estate
business in Minot. He owns a nine
acre ranch, which a Jap works on
shares. Last year Mr.. Graves share
from the ranch amounted to $1,000,
and he didn't have to do any work. He
looks after flock Of 1000 hens, how
ever, which netted him $500. A man
with say $4,000 can go there, invest
in a ten-acre ranch and live like
prince.
Warren Davis and wife, of Great
Falls, Mont, formerly of Minot, are
spending the winter in California.
Mrs. Davis health is improving rap
idly. Mr.. Davis made the trip there
in his big Chalmers car.
Mr.. McGahan investigated business
conditions quite thoroly in the west.
He says that business in about every
line is overdone. So many people go
there for their health and wishing
something to do, start up some small
business, not caring whether they
make more than living or not.
Mr.. McGahan visited logging
camp in Washington, where his SON.
in-law, Capt. Sorenson, is in charge.
The camp is getting out spruce tim
ber to be used in making airplanes for
the u. S. Aviation Corps. Capt. Sor-
enson, it will be remembered, married
Miss Aileen McGahan in Minot.

MAN HOTEL MAN A KNOCKOUT

Golden Valley, N. D., Feb. 5.-Ed-
gar l.. Richter, former president of
the North Dakota Press association,
and who has just disposed of the Lari-
more Pioneer after 80 years. in the
harness, is as pro-American as his
name is pro-German. He also chances
to be a field worker for the "Four
Minute Men" He dropped into the
Kaiserhof here on wheatless day and
called for brown bread. Mine Host
Henry Hessing is said to have inform
ed him that, as a good Dutchman,
he should eat white bread on wheat
less days. A few moments later a
much subdued Mr.. Hessing picked
himself up from the floor and agreed
that an apology was due. Richter is
small in stature and well-advanced in
years, but he carries a mule-power
wallop in each fist.

UNCLE SAM ABOUT TO MAKE
DEBUT AS GREATEST OF ALL
MOVING PICTURE MAKERS
Wonderful Films Produced by Govern
ment Suggested by President Will
son, Directed by David Griffith
to be Seen in Orpheum Theatre.

The first of the great war films, for
which the North Dakota Defense
Council has contracted with the Unit
ed States Bureau of Public Informa-
tion, at a cost of $4,000, will be
shown in Minot at the Orpheum Thea
ire, Sunday afternoon and evening,
February 10th.
Backed by Defense Council.
The North Dakota Defense Council,
a million dollar patriotic corporation,
back of which is the faith and credit
Of the State of North Dakota, pledg-
ed by Governor Lynn j. Frazier,
stands sponsor for these films, pro-
nounced by those who have seen ad-
vance showings, to be the most Won
derful military productions extant.
The defense council has contracted
for 14O reels, to be shown at the rate
Of Is reels weekly, in three shows Of
five reels each, in every town in North
Dakota which can support high
class picture house. The cost of these
official films is roughly reckoned at
$2O,OOO,000, based upon what any
standard motion picture producer
would have been compelled to pay to
procure these effects. Using it's own
soldiers and sailors and battleships,
and forts and training camps, the cost
to the United States government was,
Of course, far less.
Movie People Enlist.
The greatest director the moving
picture industry has brought forth.
David w. Griffith to di-
rect the making of these great NOV
les. The foremost stars in filmdom
demonstrated their patriotism by en-
listing their services free Of charge to
play lead roles in the dramas built
around the great military evolutions
now in progress. There is action and
thrill in every foot Of film, and, now
that our boys are actually in France,
perhaps going through the very same
things portrayed on these films, there
probably is not .ed-blooded man,
woman or child in North Dakota who
will want to miss these pictures.
The first three pictures to be pre-
sented here will be 'The 1917 Re-
cruit," showing the twentieth century
American soldier in the making; "Sol-
diers of the Sea-" depicting life and
drill in the greatest navy the waters
Of the western hemisphere ever float
ed; and "With Gas and Flame" show
ing modern methods of trench war
fare.
