Henceforth, under a proclamation
issued by Governor Edge, every able
bodied man in New Jersey must be
regularly engaged in some recognized
business, profession, trade or employ
+emnt until the end of the war. Fur
thermore, the governor invokes the en-
tire law enforcing machinery of the
state against idlers, whether they be
of the society" or "hobo" type.
The purpose of the proclamation is
to give full effect to the new law,
sponsored by Speaker Wolverton, Of
Camden, designated to compel every
man to do his bit toward winning the
war. The governor served notice that
the law is not intended as a mere
passing sensation" but it is designed
ito supplement the selective service.
The governor accompanied his pro
lclamation with notices to the state
commissioner of labor, to the mayor
or executive Of every municipality and
to every police department and sheriff
in the state, calling upon them to see
that the law is strictly enforced.

'BUGLES||SS|'''
POTATOES ,

During the last few seasons so call
ed "Bugless" potatoes have been ad-
vertised or an extensive scale in some
of the farm papers circulating in this
state. Mn. H. o. Werner, horticul-
turist of the North Dakota Expert
ment station reports on them as fol-
lows:
The chief claims made for this va
riety are that while the plants are not
absolutely free from bugs, they are to
such an extent that customary spray
ing against the bugs becomes practi-
cally unnecessary. Seed stock of this
potato variety are advertised for sale,
fancy prices are demanded for it and
evidently obtained as is shown by nu-
merous inquiries received by this sta
ton.
In connection with this matter, it
may be well to point out that there is
some slight difference in potato varie-
ties with regard to their resistance to
attacks from potato bugs, chiefly on
account of variations in vigor and
thickness and the amount of foliage.
This difference, however, is too slight
to be of commercial value.
So far as our experience goes, none
of our present day commercial potato
varieties can be relied upon to produce
economical yields when not sprayed,
if potato bugs r prevalent in the Vi
cinity. On account of climatic condi-
tions during certain years, potato
bugs may not yield in great numbers
in some sections. Consequently, So
called "Bugless" potatoes may live up
to the claims made for them in some
localities each year. and in all locali-
ties some years, if bugs are scarce or
absent. If, on the other hand, bugs
are present, no practical immunity can
be expected.
During the spring Of 1917, the De-
partment of Horticulture purchased
samples of these "Bugless" potatoes.
AS illustrated in the advertisement,
tht potatoes resembled the Burbank
type; long large, white tubers, while
those received by the Experiment Sta
ton were medium sized, rounded and
slightly flat, like the Pearl type. This
lie dus to suspect that either the "Bug-
less" variety is not very true to type
or that more than n variety Of po-
tatoes might have had the "Bugless"
degree conferred upon them for COM
mercial reasons.
Whatever this may indicate, the po-
tatoes as received were planted in our
variety trial plots. We intended not

II WAR SAVINGS SOCIETY
ORGANIZED IN VILLAGE
Meeting Held List Monday. Many
Join and Sign Pledge for sys-
Ks tsmatic Savings. &. {.

A meeting was held in the village
hall the evening Of the 25th instant
to consider the organizing Of War
Savings Society for the Village of
Grand Marais. After a discussion Of
the purposes of such organizations,
it was resolved that society be or
ganized. The following named Off
GERS were elected for the ensuing
year: President, VIM. Cinch; Secre-
tary, H. E. Qualheim; program com
mittee for the next meeting: Mrs.
L. H. Lien and Mr.. H. E. Qualheim.
It was decided to hold regular meet
ings Of the society on the first Mon
day Of each month and special meet
ings during the tourist season, when
it is expected that speakers familiar
with war savings work in other sec
tions of the state will be available.
On completion of the organization,
the meeting had the pleasure Of lis
tening to MIR. Wildes, of the state
mineral leasing department, account
Of war savings activities in Hibbing,
remarks by DR.. Hicks, S. C. Murphy
and H. E: Qualheim.
There is no membership fee. The
members pledge themselves to sys-
tematic savings, TO refrain from un-
necessary expenditures and the pur-
chase of non-essentials, in order that
labor and material now employed in
the production of articles not neces-
sary to health and efficiency may be
released for, the prodcuiton- of those
articles and supplies which the
United States needs for the support
of it's Army and Navy, to lend earn
est efforts to encourage thrift and
economy in the community and to
secure other members for the society
and to invest savings in United
States War-Savings Stamps and
Thrift Stamps, and to encourage
others so to do.
The Society pledge embodies the
very sanest form of patriotism. No
individual, community or nation has
ever been ultimately benefited by
extravaganza or waste.-And The. wis
lom of extending ones uttermost
financial aid to the National Govern
ment is apparent to all but those
blinded by shorsighted selfishness,
ingratitude for benefits received, or
reasonable inclination.

mittee.

MARCH BANNER MONTH
-:- IN ARMY RECRUITING
An Especial Appeal is Being Made
!! to Woodsmen in Northern Part
of This State.

The U. S. Army recruiting forces
in the Minnesota District are bend
ing every effort to increase Uncle
Sans fighting forces by at least 900
men this month. Present indications
.are that success will crown their ef-
!! forts, as~over 700 applicants had ap-
piled for enlistment up to and in
cluding March %. The 900 figure as
fixed by Major John D. Yost, Recruit
ing Officer of the District, if attain
ed will make March the banner
month in the history of Army re-
cruiting in this state
A new high, record mark has been
made each month for the past three
successive months. During February,
regardless of the fact that it was a
short month, IT'S men were enlisted.
Civilian Recruiting Committees, and
army recruiting officers are more
than busy rounding up prospective
recruits and getting them into the
service. The advent of spring has
been boon to the recruiters, and
they are taking full advantage of it
to canvas the territory surrounding
their districts.
An especial appeal is being made
to woodmen in the northern part of
the state, and a great many "lumber-
jacks" have answered the call. They
will be largely assigned to Forestry
regiments, armed with double-bit
axes and turned loose among the big
timber, where they will be right at
home, doing the work they have al
ways done, at equally good wages,
while serving their country.
The demand for mechanics, chauf
fuers and gas engine men is still ur-
gent. Training schools are being
opened for them in all parts of the
country, and the men are being as
signed to the schools as rapidly as
possible. The: school recently opened
at the Overland building, midway be-
tween St. Paul and Minneapolis, will
soon be training 5000 mechanics for
the Aviation Section, Signal Corps. !:
Over SO percent of the men being
enlisted are between the ages Of 18
and 21: The younger generation
seems imbued with war fervor, and
enlistments during the next few
months, especially after the school
year closes, are expected to be very
heavy. S=>ss zs< .:=- y .> >a

SCHOOL CARNIVAL A
GREAT SUCCESS
Many Interesting and Unique Stunts
Performed by School
Children.

The carnival given by tie school
last Friday evening was success
from every point Of view. There was
large attendance and every per-
formance was a treat. -: -
In farce entitled ''The Village
Caucus in 1923" the teachers gave
an exhibition. of how the village
would be run when the women got
into politics. From Hand to Mouth
was sausage factory where they
fed the machine live chickens, dogs
and cats and turned out the finished
products in an instant. ''The Kaiser
and His Majesty" showed how the
devil got the Kaiser into a lot of
trouble. The little piccaninnies in
Miss Liens room gave an exhibition
of real coon songs and dancing. ''The
Wild West Show" the yankee Kit
chen" and the "Folk Dance" were all
good and caused much merriment.
The high school girls in "The Span
ish Singers" sang some very pretty
songs and were dressed in Spanish
costumes. 80 =.
Miss Elizabeth Hicks favored the
audience with a song which was so
we'll taken that she had to respond
to an encore.
The whole was we'll arranged and
nicely performed and gave the peo-
pie an entertainment out of the or
dinary class.
