ENLISTMENTS ARE
BETTER EACH MONTH
Record Has Been Broken Each
Month for Five Months.

For the fifth successive month
the Minnesota Recruiting Dis
trict has bettered its record for the
previous month Gradually climbing
from an obscure position near the
bottom of the list of 81 recruiting
districts in the country; in April the
Minnesota District bettered the re-
cord of the San Francisco district,
which has been leading the country
for the past two years. In April 1903
recruits were secured in the state,
which is believed to be the highest
record in the country. When the final
count was made for May, however, it
was found that 1910 recruits had enter
erd the service. A rush of men during
the last few days of the month net
ted ITS men, May 81, which was the
banner day for the month. The rush
was largely Of men 81 years of age
who would be compelled to register
June 5th.
A recruiting and loyalty tour Of
the state conducted by Major John
D. Yost Recruiting Officer for the
Minnesota District, accompanied by
Corporal Harry A. Welcome, one OF
the fifty men recently returned to this
country by General Pershing and
A. A. harrington of Duluth a
speaker for the Bureau of Public
Information at Washington, D. G. was
productive of excellent results and
helped materially to swell the total
enlistment for the month of May. The
tour included all the range towns,
Virginia, Hibbing, Eveleth and CHS
holm. Enroute to Bemidji meetings
were held from the rear end of the
recruiting car "Soudan" at Deer River
and Grand Rapids. Bemidji, Fari-
bault and Mankato were visited
Final meetings were held at Winona
and Wabasha.
In commenting on his tour Major
Yost said, I'm all my experience l
have never seen such warm enthusi-
asm, the entire trip was triumphal
tour, with overflow meetings at all
places. Our reception throughout
the state, and the number of men get:
ting into the service from the state
is back of the boys at the
front, and can be counted on for
whole hearted support at all times"

The sky lights in Dorsey's, Olson 4

Anchor office were all smashed and
the buildings more or less flooded
by the rain.
There were about forty WindC VS.

The tar roof on Murphy's build

the livery barn were stripped by the
hail and badly damaged.
AS matter of great luck, of
course, glass had just advanced near

created such a demand for it. The

Tragedy at Dassel.

Word was brought up town Mon
day shortly after dinner that John
Sallberg, ST., had been found in the
loft of the barn on their place with
his throat cut. A razor still clutch
ed in his right hand told the story
he had committed suicide.
Mr.. Sallberg had been in poor
health for several years past and it
had undoubtedly unbalanced his mind.
He had also been worrying about his
son John being called to the army
Saturday evening he was out in the
great hail storm and became so be-
wildered that he could not tell where
he found shelter. His mind was fail

Mr.. Sallberg was native of
Sweden and was past II years CT

DASSEL HIT BY HAIL
Storm That Touched Our County
Struck Meeker County
Very Hard.

One of the most severe hail storms
of many years passed through sec
ton of Meeker county last Saturday
evening. hitting Dassel about 7:45.
The main part OF the storm seems
to have hit just west OF Kingston,
the west end of it reaching Darwin
and the east hitting Cokatc. Dassel
apparently was right in the center
of it's path and received the heavi-
est Of the storm.
1t had been quietly raining all
afternoon and while the clouds hung
heavy no one thought a bad storm
was brewing.
About 1880 the wind changed to
the north and it was but short
time afterwards that the storm
broke upon us in all its fury. The
worst of it had passed over inside
of twenty minutes but while it lasted
it proved active.
All the windows on the north side
Of the buildings in town, as we'll as
all sky lights, were broken, trees
were stripped of their foliage and
gardens pounded into the ground.
Many tar roofs were also torn off.
Automobiles that were standing on
the streets had large holes cut clear
through the tops and in some in
stances the hoods on one or two
Fords were badly denied by the
hail. Hail stones measuring two
and three inches in diameter were
picked up on the streets.
In the country districts through
which the storm passed rye was cut
to the ground and will have to be
plOwed under. Wheat, oats and corn
were not far enough advanced to be
damaged by hail but in many places,
particularly in the billy section
northwest of town, the grain was
valleys
stripped of their buds North and
northeast Of town some damage is
reported from the high winds, many
small buildings being turned over.
While Darwin had some hail no
serious damage was done there. In
COkatO we understand the storm was
real bad and many windows were
broken.
1t was without doubt the heavi-
est hail storm ever witnessed in
this section and one that will be re-
membered for some time
The telephone and electric wires
were badly damaged by the storm.
Live stock that were caught out
in the pastures without shelter were
badly pounded up but we have
heard no casualties among them
About midnight another severe
storm broke over the village but did
no further damage.
Notes of the Storm.
The rear end OF Louis Norgren s
shoe store is nearly all windows. The
hail took every pane out.

stop and reflect just a moment. 1t
won't be long until we can see by the
names reported in the papers that
there will be many an empty chair in
the German homes in this state. Three
lieutenants from this city have already
passed away in France; they belonged

that have been so Woefully malinged.
These citizens have contributed their
sons, they pay their taxes, they buy
liberty bonds; they do all the things
that we do. and should we not share
the burden with them, should we not
sympathize with them in their sor-
row? Why abuse and make wholesale
charges against them, when we know
that the great majority of them are as
true and as loyal as we are?, Let us
greet them and treat them in the true
spirit of our common citizenship, and
let them help us blot out disloyalty
wherever it may exist in any pa'rticu-

that is the Democratic way Of treating

Food Facts of Week.
(BY State Food Administr

(By State Food Administrator
Our immediate pressing duty is
to see that the peoples and armies of
Great Britain, France and Italy are
fed, so that they will not collapse as
Russia and Finland have done because
OF the disorganization due to Ger
man propaganda, injustice and above
all, lack of food. 1t is imperative
that we save and send wheat and
other foods absolutely required in
Europe during the months before the
next harvest. We cannot do it un-
less we stop using them here. We
must realize that food is the weapon
with which America is going to be
able to maintain a position in this
war long enough to win it. The food
administration is not asking that food
be saved to save money, but to save
lives that will win the war.
The food administration is urg-
ing that the sugar regulations provid
Ing sugar for canning be taken ad-
vantage of now and the maximum If
all kinds of food preserved in every
household for future use. The pre-
seryation Of home grown perishables
is one of the greatest possible aids
to food conservation and the posi-
blllty of furnishing to the armies
their required amount of food, Food
grown and preserved at home guards
against a possible food shortage:
1000 grown and preserved at home
requires no railroad transportation to
bring it to the family table and it re-
leases for export shipping that rail
road transportation that would be ne
cessary to bring food in that it re-
places
These are the reasons why the food
administration has announced that 80
long as sugar is available it NAV be
purchased by householders in uuanti
ties for canning and preserving only
upon certificate signed at the store upon
purchase. Sugar distributors report
big supplies on hand now and the

Each day adds it's quota to the grow

being formed in some places by those
who are willing to pledge their entire
wheat ration to the Allies. In one
western state both merchants and
consumers are Offering stocks of -four
to the government, some cities re-
tanning two pounds of flour per month
per capita. A large proportion of the
parishes in Louisiana have agreed to
use no wheat until the new crop
comes In. One church CONGREGATION
has adopted resolutions pledging the
entire congregation to consume not
more than three pounds per person
per month. Prominent clubs through
out the country, both men and women's
clubs have held patriotic meetings
pledging themselves to abstain from
wheat until after the next harvest.
The state of Texas has gone on a
wheatless basis from April Is until

always simply cooked, stewed boiled or
baked, and served with a little butter

You waste valuable salts when you
throw away the water in which you
cook vegetables. Sometimes the flavor
is not desirable, but IL it is good, save
the water for soup or gravy. Even
better-cook them in as little water
as possible so there is none left to
drain off. Or bake or steam them.
