TOYS FOR CHILDREN
FOUND TO Be LIQUOR
Federal Authorities Throw New
Light on Arrest Of Ole kraVik
at LidaerNood, ". ..

Further Investigations made by
federal authorities in connection with
the arrest Of Ole Kravik Of Lidger-
wood, disclose that the suitcases
which he said contained Christmas
toys for his children were filled with
intoxicating liquors.
When Kravik was arrested shortly
after stepping from the train which
arrived at Lidgerwood about $3.50
o'clock in the morning, he was ap-
preached by the constable OF the viii
lage, who insisted on searching the
suitcases despite protests from Kra-
vik, who claimed they held gifts for
the children.
Kravik was arrested and taken to
the Lidgerwood Jail. Enough intoxi-
cants were found to last at least a
dozen families during the Yuletide
Kravik was brought to Fargo re-
Gently and was bound over to the fed
eral term Of court, bonds being plac-
ed at $4,000, which he furnished.

PRAY FOR DAY OF
AMERICAS STRENGTH

England is so bitter against the
Germans she will never give up, but
she is hoping and praying for the
day when America will make her full
force felt"
That is the war situation in Great
Britain, as seen by @. u. Churchill
OF Casselton, who, is in Fargo for a
day or two. Mr.. Churchill was en-
ployed by the Wallis Tractor COM
pany at Racine, and went abroad as
their representative. He spent six
months in England, Scotland, Ire
land and France, returning but re-
Gently, and is now visiting his par
ents at Casseltou, preparatory to go
ing to Omaha to enlist in the avia-
ton department OF the United
States army,
Mr.. Churchill had an unusual OPP
portunity to study conditions in
Great Britain, as he went abroad to
sell tractors to the British, French
and Italian governments. He sue
ceeded in placing the entire output
OF hts factory and his sales were
limited only by the number of trac-
tors his firm could deliver.
Agriculture Radical.
England has tackled the big
problem OF increasing farm produc-
ton in q most radical way" he said.
Every available foot of land is be-
ing put under cultivation. Golf
courses are being plowed up, and
even old hedges torn out. The gov
eminent passed q law compelling
owners OF land to put a certain per-
centage under cultivation. The own
ers promptly came back with the
complaint that they couldn't get the
necessary labor and equipment. The
government then organized it's food
production department. 1t is buying
tractors in large numbers, and
whenever q farmer is short of help,
1t sends q tractor to plow his land
and charges him the cost Of 1t. There
is also a big demand for American
tractors from private owners.
Women have gone into farm la
Dor very extensively, and this move
ment has been augmented by the in
PRODUCTION Of scientific farming and
the use OF machinery. should say
that from one-Quarter to one-third
OF the farm work OF England is done
by women.
Decrease Shipping Burden.
England can never be self-sup-
porting. She will always have to inn
port such things as wheat and meat,
but she can raise enough garden
produce to fiil her needs, and come
much nearer to being self sufficient
than she is today. That is the aim
OF the government, for everything
raised there decreases the burden on
shipping.
