American Expenditionary Forces
July 13, 1918.
Dear Folks All:
Very quiet last evening. Especial
ly noticeable to one just back from
the front. Beautiful evening and as
looked over the great valley to the
hills beyond l thought as pretty
picture as anywhere. One would nev-
er imagine that this side Of those
hills were mills of trenches and wire
and thousands of men and many bat
teries. This is full of little plots and
villages and all cut up by trees. It
is this that makes it look more pic
turesque than the same sort of val
ley in America. This village is pro-
fusely decorated near the school and
,cEurch with. pine trees and festoons
and banners with "Vive La France"
give l. Amerique," and "Vive l.
Alsace." for the celebration for the
14th, the French Fourth.
The French 4th-Last night we en-
joyed a rare treat; the priests home
next to our headquarters has pia-
no, and we arranged to enter and
play. After his Saturday night con-
fessions the priest came in to greet
us. He was a great old boy. Seeing
violins we invited him to play. He
had French and German violin. He
played fairly we'll. Then a soldier
came to see him; he was introduced
to us as an artist The violin he had
was dream; it was Italian and al
most talked. He had arranged to
play a tour in the U. S. when the
war broke out. always go to sleep
after Is minutes of violin, but not
for this boy. He played Operas with
and without music for an hour and
half. Playing in city like Rockford
he would be lion and you would
not regret 50 or So to hear him. And
she is soldier in the French Army.
M the U. S. he would have played
and donated the money to the Red
Cross or bought War Bonds as his
"bit". Or if he had wished to join
he would have had himself appoint
ed Captain or Major. Here is a
common soldier. Thousands must
have acclaimed him for playing and
yet he is not like the American idea
salute and stand for an Officer, but
he is the same as any other soldier
in the presence of an officer.

Help Save Carbon
For GaSSed Soldiers
GOVERNMENT ASKS THAT ALL
NUT SHELLS AND FRUIT PITS
BE SAVED FOR WAR PUR-
POSES.

1t has been found that the best
carbon or charcoal for neutralizing
| the effect of the poisonous gases used
, in the war, is made from nut shells
and fruit pits. Therefore one of the
most recent requests from the Di-
vision of Education of the National
War Savings Committee is that all
loyal Americans gather stogether all
the fruit stones, nut shells ETC. and
that these be collected for sending to
the Chemical Warfare Service Bur-
eau at Washington.
This is work which the boys and
girls of the country can do especially
well and they are being asked to do
it. They are asked to gather as many
as possible of peach pits, apricot pits
plum pits, cherry pits and prune pits
hickory nuts, walnuts, butternuts and
the shells of these nuts. Later they
will be told where these are to be
disposed of but for the present all
they need to do is to save them, ask
ing all their friends and especially
the housewives to save as many of
each as possible.
Two hundred peach pits, or sew
en- pounds of nuts, produce enough
gas for one gas respirator. This may
be the means of saving the life Of one
Of our American boys or of the AL
lied soldiers, and this makes the task
of saving these greatly worth while
1t is requested that this work be
taken up by the local Junior Red
Cross as part of their fall work
These things can be saved in the
homes and sent to the school room
by the children. There the teachers
will place them in a receptacle which
will be provided. The need that this
work be done must be apparent to

Seed Corn Week
Has Now Begun
ONLY SAFE AND SANE MEAS
URES is TO SANE SEED
CORN.

September 10th to Goth is the time
|set by the state for the picking Of
seed corn. During this time the gov
Eernment has requested that 1000, 900
bushels of seed corn be picked Of
this 100000 bushels the Redwood
county proportion is $4,000 bushels,
which on the basis of six acres per
bushel will be sufficient seed corn to
plant the acreage of Redwood Coun-
ty for 1919 and 1920. This means
that every farmer will be expected to
pick one bushel for each three acres
which he is expecting to plant in
1919. This will leave enough in re-
serve to plant his acreage in 1920.
From last springs experience l am
sure we all realize the Importance of
a statewide seed corn campaign. The
Farm Bureau last spring, through
the various seed corn testing stations
organized over the country, ear test
ed over TOO bushels of corn. Of this
amount an average of over SO per
cent was not fit for seed. Also in
many cases large amounts of corn
that were brought in to be tested
were so low in termination percent
age that no ear test was made Of it at
all. Owing to the shortage Of seed
corn in this county it was necessary
to ship in over 500 bushels of seed
corn which cost on an average around
$500 bushel.
Last year large portion of the
seed corn which would not make good
seed was killed for lack of proper
storage. This year it is not only
necessary that every one pick his re-
quired amount of seed corn but in
addition he must see that this corn
is properly stored that is, that it is
put some place where it can be pro-
perly dried All ears should be placed
so that they do not touch one anoth-
er.
This is war measure of the ut
most Importance. 1t assures US of a
larger food supply which means hast
ening the end of the war. Are you
making preparations for picking
your corn during this time? If not,
make such arrangements at once At
ter the seed corn season is over a
Government survey will be made of
the county and it will be expected
that every farmer will have the re-
quired quantity. F. L. French,
County Agent of Redwood County.

Sure They'll Vote
Says Sec. SChmahI
INSISTS MINNESOTA SOLDIERS
MUST NOT BE DEPRIVED OF
FRANCHISE

Secretary of State julius A.
Schmahi wants every Minnesota sol
dier "over there" and in this coun-
try to have the opportunity to vote.
He was stcadfast in this position
when the subject came before state
officials, and as result every effort
will be made to have the soldiers
vote" considerable one.
The secretary does not intend to
let any Liberty fighter be disfranch-
ised if there is any human way to
reach him with a ballot. He wants
every Minnesota soldier in camp and
cantonment on this side of the At
lantic to have the opportunity to
mark ballot; likewise, North Star
state troopers wherever they can be
located in other parts Of the globe.
Many man is seeking state SEN
ate or house membership who would
not feel quite satisfied if soldiers vot-
es he would otherwise get were de-
MED him through any specious ale
cation that the expense" is not just
flied. From the first, the complain
ing of some county auditors that the
primary vote of the soldiers was
negligible" and hence hardly worth
troubling about in November did not
find Mr.. Schmahl with very sympa-
thetic ear. He took the ground that
it was in the public interest to let
every. soldier vote who wanted to
and that no barrier should be raised.
The election machinery of this
state is largely in his hands and he
intends to do everything within his
power to get it started at once as
related to the soldier.-Duluth Tri-
bune.

THE NAVY IL AGAIN
OPEN FOR ENLISTMENT

To the young man who is ambi-
tious to see the world, to whom the
the adventure of travelling, the OPP
portunity to learn a trade, appeals,
here is a wondelfur chance to do all
and be paid for it. The Navy has
again opened all of its branches for
four years enlistment as was an
nounced by the main Recruiting Sta
tion for Kentucky at Az South
Fourth Street, Louisville, yesterday.
The official dispatch from Wash

ed in the Navy regardless of the fact
that they are registered with a local
draft board as no draft board will
have anything more to do with man
who desires TO enlist in the navy.

Colony Houses For Hogs.

Nearly every farmer producing
swine can profitably use one or more
movable hoghouses. On many farms,
especially where the winters are mild,
movable hog houses will meet all the
needs of the swine for shelter both
from the hot sun of summer and the
dampness of winter.
The movable or colony hog houses
are especially suited for the needs of
the farmer just starting in the hog
business, and also for the pig-club
members. These houses can be NOV
ed from field to field as the pigs are
changed from one grazing crop to an
other. Their use makes 1t easier to
keep the hogs healthy, as the house
may be moved as soon as one place
becomes unsanitary or unclean. The
movable houses can be built more
cheaply than the larger ones; they
can be increased in number as the
herd gets larger; and If the farmer Is
a renter they can be taken with him
If he should move.

Proper Housing Helps Hogs.

Serious decrease in hog market
ings during 1917 has brought forth a
demand that farmers and pig club
members materially increase their
swine production to meet the needs of
our soldiers and our allies for pork
and pork products. Proper housing
will be an important factor in such
increased production as it will re-
duce the amount of feed consumed
and will prevent losses from exposure
especially with the early spring lit
tiers. In some sections Of the county

Combination hay and grain racks
are probably the most convenient for
feeding small lots of sheep. The
open-end rack is suitable for use in
barns where feeding can be done by
passing directly from the feed alley
TO the rack, thus obviating the diff
culties which follow from entering
pens filled with sheep. Some shep-
herds prefer a rack with closed sides
instead of stats; such rack requires
that the hay be eaten through an
opening at the bottom.

STRIKE Is OVER;

all-day conference, 2,4OO striking
motormen and conductors of the
Cleveland Railway Company, who
quit work Tuesday morning, voted
late to-day to accept the proposition
of President John H. Stanley, of the
company that he would dismiss $50
woman conductors by March 1. This
removes the cause of the strike and
the men will resume work for the
first day tomorrow.
The company officials and repre-

ended the strike. The women con-

manner. The dairy COW will utilize
materials, inedible by humans, such

Mellow Loan Rest For Soy Beans.

Although the soy bean will succeed
on nearly all types of soil, the best
results are obtained on mellow, fer
tile sandy loans or clay loans. In
general the soil requirements OF the
soy bean may be said e. be about the
same as those of corn. although soy
beans will make more satisfactory
growth on poorer soil than corn, pro
vided incubation is present, but they
will not make nearly as good growth
on poor soil as cowpeas. Practical
experience indicates that the ccwpca
succeeds better than the soy bean OF
the heavier clays and on the lighter
sandy soils.
