SPANISH influenza
IN Pine COUNTY
Several Cases ut Cloverton and
Deli Grove Township. One
Resulted in Death.

The Spanish influenza which
has been raging in many of the
army camps of the country. has
now reached this county.
There are several cases at Clo-
verton. mostly among children.
and two in Dell Grove township.
One woman died from the dis
ease at Cloverton. Sunday. How
ever. according to DR.. Dredge of
Sandstone. who is in charge of
these. they are nearly all in mild
form and there are no signs of
an epidemic.
The disease is also reported to
have taken hold in the villages
Of Pine City and Hinckley.
All necessary precaution should
be taken to prevent the spread Of
the disease, which is a result Of
the world war.
Red Cross workers have been
busy looking up trained and prac-
tical nurses in the different COM
munities. These will most likely
be called upon to assist should
the disease break out in their
community.

Land Clearing.

AT present when labor is scarce
and when materials and machin-
cry are high, the clearing should
be limited mainly to brushing
with the AK. Seed this for pas
ture. and by the time the stumps
are in better shape to remove
labor and materials will be more
accessible. In the meantime
stock will be harvesting crop
from between the stupps and all
your cleared land can he utilized
with other crops. This plan will
keep your farm as near up to full
capacity as your labor supply
will permit.

750 Farm Bureau organizations
with a membership Of 287.808 of
the most practical farmers in
the counties, are now organized
in the 33 northern and western
states to help direct County
Agent work and to develop the
war program. The marked ex-
pansion of 500 additional coun-
ties, with an increased member
ship of 1850, is representative
of the work accomplished during
the year ending June 30th. 1918.
The farmers themselves are now
planning a large part of the war
work conducted by the county
agents of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
The program of work of the
Farm Bureau is the nations war
program of work in agriculture

Wise Dairymen Feed Cows
Literally Now.
Cows which are not we'll fed
Mt this time of the year go into
winter with a handicap, thin in
flesh and with a reduced milk
flow. For this reason authori-
ties at University Farm say that
wise dairymen should feed their
cows literally during the fall
months. 1t is not only expen-
sive but useless to attempt to
bring cows back to normal flow
after they go on winter rations.
II pays to begin feeding liberal
ly early.
1t pays also to provide cows
with ample protection from fall
rains. Comfortable cows give
more milk.

owner is said to have violated
the regulations governing the
sale of wheat flour. Mr.. Torkel-
son is a Swede who has been in
business in Wright county for a
good many years.
Organized p Years Ago.
The Danish singing society,
Dana, in Brooklyn, N. Y, will
celebrate it's twenty-ffth ami
versary on October 10. For a
number of years the conductor
was the we'll known Victor Ban
cke, but after period of stagna-
tion the society was re-organized
few years ago under the baton
of Ole Windingstad, a Norwegian
orchestra leader and music
teacher.
Wants More Capital.
DIR. Eiliv Janson, son of the
late Rev. Kristoffer Janson, is
visiting Norway at the present
time for the purpose of inviting
the investment of more Norwe-
gian capital in two companies Of
which he is a director, the Nor
way Pacific and Construction Co.,
and the American Nitrogen Pro-
ducts Co., both of Seattle, Wash.
Gone to France.
Educators are wanted among
the American soldiers in France,
according to several announce
ments recently made. Professor
w. B. Thornburg, a Swedish sa-
want, who formerly was school
superintendent at St. Peter, Min
nesota, has left for France on a
combined scientific and educa-
tional mission the nature of
which has not been disclosed at
this writing.
Wants to be Private.
Most clergymen when regis
tering claim exemption on the
ground of being divines-or they
make application for appoint
ment as chaplain. Rev. p. j.
Madsen, pastor of the Danish
Lutheran church at Larimore, N.
D., however, deviates from the
rule, for the other day when he
appeared at the office of his To-
cal board for physical examina-
tion, he said he wanted to go to
war as a private, and that he
thought his congregation would
be able to get along without him
for a year or two.
Conference in Norway.
Among the numerous peace ru-
mors emanating from various
European capitals last Saturday
and Monday, one insisted that
the proposed peace conference
be held at Christiania, Norway
Stockholm, Madrid, Berne and
Copenhagen have been similarly
mentioned but it seems that
| the first thing to decide is
whether or not a conference will
be held, at all. When these lines
are being written, there is still
a tendency to consider the latest
offer of the central powers mere
| ly a new link in the chain forged
by German peace propaganda
since the reverses on the western
front have set in decisively.
Disastrous Accident.
At what is said to be the great
est disaster Of it's kind in Europe
three hundred and fifty persons
are reported to have been killed
in a railway accident near
Malme, Sweden, last week. Fiji
ty children who were returning
to Stockholm from the country
are among the dead. A later re-
port says that the number Of VIC
Tins had not been definitely as
certained, but that the fatalities
were estimated at ninety.
