frosts Of December and January have,
if the New York Times is correctly in
formed, reduced the surplus considera-
bly,. The February 9th issue Of the
Times contains the following: n
Reports from all parts Of New
York, New England, Pennsylvania,
and Ohio tell Of thousands Of bushels
of potatoes ruined by the desperately
cold weather Of the last ten weeks.
This applies not only to seed potatoes,
but to market stocks held in cellars
awaiting demand. Hundreds Of cell
lars and storage houses built to resist
zero weather had never been subjected
to such temperatures as those Of
December. The many days Of cold
preceding the two or three y record
breaking nights had chilled walls,
floors, and contents so that when the
mercury got down to Ii below even
hastily lighted stoves failed to keep
the cellars from freezing.
| Not few potato growers, foresee-
! ing that this winter was likely to
make seed scarce and dear, sent or
ders in Michigan, Dakota, Minnesota
and Wisconsin, where hard winters
are expected and prepared for, and
where reports say there was good
seed crop last year.

A Strenuous Life. B'Gosh,

Harry Frank, whose "Vagabonding
Down the Andes" is recent publica-
ton of the Century company, is now
with the American expeditionary force
somewhere in France and has been
assigned with the rank of lieutenant
to headquarters duty. He recently
wrote to friend in New York as fol-
lows: ".
"What Sherman said was no exag-
geration. The horrors of getting so
fat I do not know myself are upon me,
for / do not get more than nine hours
sleep night, the bed furnished by a
French family makes getting up in
the morning hardship, and the labor
of eating three endless French meals
a day and doing away with never
ending supply of wine sums up my
misfortunes. However, I have been
promised real job, with the privilege
of crawling by night over into the
German trenches when once we actu-
ally get started at them."- York

Giants of the Air.

The largest war planes are the
bomb dropping machines. They must
be capable of carrying heavy loads of
explosives. They are usually slow
machines, speed being sacrificed to
carrying capacity. The Italians have
specialized in big bomb machines. The
huge; Caproni airplanes carry three
men and three guns, besides 2,75O
pounds of explosives. That makes a
useful load Of 1000 pounds. The ma
chine is driven by three engines with
a total of 900 horsepower. Such enor-
nous machines are rather exceptional
however. Bombing machines are
usually conveyed by fast fighting
planes, and do not have to defend
themselves from attack in the air
Often bombing raids are made al
night, and the big Italian machines are
provided with "search1ight bombs" to
enable them to locate important spots
on the, ground beneath. These are
brilliant magnesia torches suspended
from parachutes, so that they fall
slowly and give a broad illumination
while the airplane itself is shielded
from the light by its parachute. st

Best Chance to Get to the Front.
Germany has advertised great
drive upon the allied defense in
France.
|! She is obviously gathering men, all
the men she can find and all the NUM-
tions, for tremendous offensive. She
has drawn upon the eastern front, no
longer battle ground. She has taken
a long time, and has prepared care
fully.
If Germany does not make it's big
drive soon, presently it will be too
late. If she does not hammer through
the allied line this spring, she never
will. IF the allies can withstand her
now, with America only partially pre-
pared, she cannot withstand the allies
when America in force is by their
side. -
Unless Germany is making prodig-
ious bluff, preparatory to another
peace drive, the bloodiest battles of
the war impend, and the crucial test
is at hand. The war may be won or
lost within ninety days.
Men are needed now as they never
were needed before, and as they prob
ably will not be needed again during
the war. Those who think of enlisting
of course want to have hand in the
big events. There is but one possible
way for them to get into the fight
quickly, and that is to enlist in the
regular army. Those who enlist in
the regular army may be at the front
before very long. They can get to
the front quickly in no other way.
The regular army can easily manage
one recruit to two veterans. The
period of training may be short-fa1
shorter than the national army. The
regular army very quickly gets it's
recruits ready for business.
I If you want to be on the ground fo1
the mighty test that is coming, en-
list in the regular army now. It needs
you, it calls for you, it is reaching out
for you.-Duluth Herald. 2:

Killing of Hens Prohibited.

The United States food administra-
ton has forbidden licensed trading in
live or freshly killed hens and pullets.
Licensed dealers have been notified
that fresh stock of this kind already
purchased must be disposed of by
February % and that additional stocks
may not be purchased. They may,
however, handle stored or frozen
stocks. The intent of the ruling, it
would seem, is to except roosters
from the provisions.
By restricting the killing of chick
ems which should soon be heavy layers
the food administration hopes to in
crease the production of eggs, adding
to the available market supply and at
the same time allowing them to go in
to storage during the season of high
production at a price which will not
necessitate unreasonable figures for
storage eggs next fall and winter.
Further slaughter would possibly re-
duce this years production to the
danger line.
Increased cost Of feeding, combined
with present attractive market prices,
has influenced many poultry raisers
to dispose of birds which should add
to the spring and summer egg produc-
ton. If the slaughter should con-
tinue at the rate which has ruled in
recent months there would be a very
real shortage Of eggs this spring,
withscorrespondingly high prices paid
for those placed in storage. Lazy
Both the food administration and
the department of agriculture have adj
vised saving of hens and pullets fol
egg production. The food administra.
ton some time ago requested dealers
to reduce the slaughter of possible
egg producers, urging them to pro.
cure wherever possible cocks anc
cockerels. It has now taken further
step and placed the full power of its
authority behind a definite prohibition
Failure to observe this ruling would
constitute a violation of the food con.
troll act. 1t would be followed by
revocation of license or could be pun.

Senator Nelson's Birthday.


Senator Nelson is rs years old to-
day. It is February the tabled day
on which the ground hog becomes 9
weather observer and prophet. The
story books tell us that if q shadow
fall athwart the path Of the little
animal he will go back to his winter
home for another six weeks.
let us hope fervently that Senator
Nelson will pause for a space in his
busy life at this latest milestone; that
he will cast the eyes Of his fancy to-.
ward Minnesota; that he will see here
all over the state-the sunshine Of
a peoples admiration for and trust in
him, and that he will highly resolve to
grant the wish of his neighbors, con-
senting to go back to Washington for
another six years.
What useful and inspiring life his
life has been! What stewardship Of
service gives it color and warmth and
strength. The little Norway boy COM
ing to strange country at six; the
barefoot helping proud mother; the
soldier bearing gun, enduring a
wound and accepting prison fate
stoically to help save the union; the
young lawyer battling against odds
of poverty and ill-health to make
Roadway; the pioneer Drawing the
winds and SHOWS Of sparsely settled
Minnesota in bit of cabin; the good
neighbor, the true man, the fearless
legislator, the efficient governor, the
lawmaker in the lower house, and the
United States senator for almost a
quarter Of century-that is the span,
and that, in brief, the story of this
honest man.
His country called in 81 and Knute
Nelson answered. His country calls
again. It wants him, it needs him, till
the guns are silent once more, and af-
ter. Yes, it will need him after to
help shape the world for the new day
that is to come. It will take brave
men, practical men, men with clear,
white records to meet and solve the
problems of that day. Senator Nelson
is brave, wise, practical, experienced.
What he has done is the earnest Of
what he can and will do if he but keep
the trust the people have reposed in
him. 49,. ..........
"America has done so much for me
that owe it everything" he said not
long ago. II mean to stand by it at
all hazards in time of war or peace"
How true it rings to what the peo-
pie of this whole country have come
to think of Knute Nelson! How we'll
it fits in with the recent words Of
President Wilson that if Senator Mel
son were sure he had but one more
year to live, he would owe that year
to his country because the nation needs
him!
What day for birthday cake and
candies! What day to shower the
veteran statesman with messages of
affectionate greeting and with wishes
that he will stay in the harness though
it chafe and fret!-Minneapol Trib-
