til the finish. 1t got for him what
he wanted, the best of help and CO.
operation, and st. Louis Club as well
as the Range Agricultural Associ-
alton may well be proud of the re-
suits obtained.
And in conclusion it may be said
that there is more than enough glory
and credit for all who helped, es-
pecially the superintendent of our
Range Schools, from Hibbing clear
through to Ely, as we'll as their re-
spective Roard of Directors, who
made it possible for exhibits with
men in charge to go from practically
every school and see to it that things
were handled properly and installed
correctly; and if we could be per-
mitted to offer suggestion at this
time along with our expression of
appreciation to the Superintendent
and Board of Education of the en-
tire Range schools, it would be this:
Kindly take up at one of your
meetings in the near future the prop
osition to have someone who knows
how to select and put up for exhi-
bition purposes next summer good
collection of grains and grasses,
typical to this section, show them
at your local fairs, lend them to
your State Fair manager, let them
find their way eventually into your
High School class room for, in my
humble opinion, boy or girl grow
ing up nowadays without knowing
the grains from which their bread
is made or the grass from which it is
produced the meat and milk that is
making them what they are is a
long ways from getting what they
are entitled to. And you may ed
ucate them from top to bottom for 40
years if you will, but without 5
square meals day, what would
you have? The moral of this is,
more and better fairs, local, county,
and State, and keep close in touch
with the base of supplies, if pos
sible. That means agriculture. If
your supply is down in Texas or
Florida, you may go hungry some
day, while if you grow it in your
own backyard or on your farm,
you'll know and appreciate the
value.
st. Louis County has reputation
all it's own for good schools, good
roads, and lots of other good things.
Surprising with your help and CO.
operation in the future, we should
succeed in making reputation for
good farming.

County Agent.

THE STATE FAIR
By H. c. LARSON. County Agent.

The Minnesota State Fair recen-
thy closed, a success as much, per-
haps in some respects more so than
ever. The part which st. Louis
County played in making it a sue
cess may be attributed to good man.
agement, loyal cooperation, and a
willingness on the part of all con-
nected with the exhibit to leave
nothing undone that would in any
way help.
A triple alliance in the fullest
sense of the word; the farm the
schools, and the mines, with a re-
minder that deer and moose still in
habit our forests. Some splendid
specimens of mounted deer and
moose heads furnished by the Ely
Commercial Club, and installed by
Mr.. Fred James of Ely.
Fairs, both local, County, and
State, are educational institutions
in the proper sense of the word, and
our great systems of schools on the
specimens of their manual training
arts. Those exhibits attracted their
share of attention when people re-
allied that it was the handiwork of
boys in the manual training depart
ment of the Range schools that pro-
duced all the things made of wood
on exhibition there.
The big, unique exhibit put up by
the Oliver Iron Mining Company
was very appropriate in these times
when steel and iron are destined to
decide the issue between liberty and
freedom or German barbarism.
Plants of every variety were grown
in small pots containing solid iron
ore. Samples and specimens of the
ore itself, besides scores of big
portraits showing the various OPP
erations of the mining industry
were exhibited. Mr.. o. Geo. Stevens,
representing the Oliver Mining Com
pany, put up this exhibit; and it oc-
cupied very commanding position
right at the very entrance and cen
ter of the County display.
Agriculture, the foundation of
everything else, was there in abun-
dance, from grains and grasses
from the Northern Minnesota Farm
to the market gardeners exhibit
from Duluth. Potatoes in plenty,
some good enough to score among
the winners in the special classes.
All the way through, the exhibit
was a credit to the County and State
and the men whose untiring efforts
and energy made it so. Mr.. M. B
Elson smiled when he began his
task and kept right on smiling un.

RED CROSS NOTES


All Red Cross Chapters in the
Northern Division will soon begin a
great recruiting campaign for nurses
if instructions issued today by Mr..
F. T. Hefflefnger, Division Manager
are carried out to the letter. The
instructions were embodied in a
general letter to the Chapters, and
which follows:
"Some months ago the American
Red Cross was asked by the War
Department to enroll $4,000 nurses
for army and navy service. These
nurses were to be enrolled by Oct
ober 1. 1t has now become apparent
that this enrolment will not be COM
pleted by the date set, and the de-
mand for nurses is still growing
daily.
''To meet this demand the War
Department has taken matters into
it's own hands and has ordered a reg
istration of nurses similar to that
used preliminary to drafting men
for service. In order that this may
be accomplished with all possible
speed, the War Department has re-
quested use of the organized Red
Cross machinery. Questionaires have
been prepared and will be mailed to
you under separate cover to be filled
out by all women in your jurisdiction
who are graduate nurses, ungrad-
uated nurses (women who started
but did not complete a nursing
course), trained attendants (such as
assistants in insane or tubercularcu-
losis hospitals), practical nurses,
midwives and women who have ia
ken part or all of any Red Cross
nursing course.
SIT is your duty to see that these
questionaires are filled out promptly
by every moman who comes under
any of the classifcations mentioned.
1t is demanded by the War Depart
ment that you do not rely on mail
service with regard to the question
aires, but make personal visit to
every woman who should be reg
istrant and see that her QUESTIONABLE
is filled out Immediately and cor
rectly.
"This is hurry-up job. The COM
pleted questionaires must be in
Washington not later than October
l5. If the work can be completed
earlier, so much the better. These
questionaires, when filled out will
contain biographical details of the
signer, with statement of the
amount of training she has received
and her general qualification for
service. 1t is necessary that each
registrant state whether or not she
is wiling to undertake war service
and If not, upon what grounds she
bases her claim for exemption. These
completed questionaires should be
forwarded at once to the Division
office from whence they will be sent
Immediately to Washington, while
the Chapter will retain a card re-
citing the main facts stated in the

WHY BUILDING is STOPPED.
Nation Needs all its Capital, Labor,
Materials and Transportation.

1t will be necessary hereafter for
any one to secure a permit, who de-
sires to erect any sort of new build
ing or do any sort of construction
work, except in five specified classes.
This permit must be obtained from
the War Industries Board and appl-
cations may be made to D. R. Cotton,
Regional Adviser, Pioneer Press
Building, St. Paul, who has been
placed in direct charge of the work
by the Public Safety Commission,
and who will pass upon the essential
quality of all applications for such
work.
The effect of this order is to dis
courage construction work which
does not contribute directly or indi-
rectly towards winning the war. This
was the main purpose of the War
Industries Board, and d. McLennan,
Chief of the New War Construction
Section, Priorities Division Of the
War Industries Board, states as fol-
lows in his letter to the Public Safety
Commission:
"It is, feel sure, unnecessary to
remind you, and through you all of
the people of your respective states,
that this Nations business
business and my BUSINESS WAR,
nndsall other considerations must be
subordinated to the paramount pur-
pose of winning the war. Anything
that interferes directly or indirectly
with this purpose impairs the eff
cheney of the war machine, and, to
the extent of such impairment, tends
to prolong the war.
''No loyal American can with any
patience contemplate giving to our
military authorities less than ALL of
their requirements to enable them in
the shortest possible time to mobilize
and bring to bear against the enemy
the concentrated force of splendidly
equipped armies. This can only be
accomplished through the strictest
economies in war materials, labor,
fuel and transportation
among other economies which
the Government has been compelled
to inaugurate is the deferring of all
construction of a non-war character,
save such as in the public interest
cannot be deferred, in order that la
Dor and material needed in war work
may be released, and fuel and trans
portation conserved.
obviously it does not follow, be-
cause there happens to be an ample
supply of building materials or local
labor in particular community, that
building projects not contributing di-
rectly or indirectly to the winning of
the war should be curtailed, for
the labor required for such construc-
ton is urgently needed elsewhere in
war work, and in many cases the de-
mand is imperative that the fuel re-
quired in producing such building
and the transportation ser
vice to deliver them, should be con-
served.

ing publicity to the campaign.
Housewives putting up fruit for the
winter should lay aside their fruit
stones for collection by the Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts or other organ
izations that are enlisted for the
campaign, Boys and girls are asked
to scour the woods for hickory nuts,
walnuts and butternuts. 1t is urged
by theFood Administration that their
meats be extracted for use as food
before they are turned in. No at
tempt need be made to extract the
kernels of fruit pits.
Red Cross Chapters throughout
the country are designating central
depositaries for pits and shells, an
nouncing their location through the
papers and making shipments
These go by parcel post from out
lying territory to large centers in
each state, inboxes or cartons of
not more than 70 pounds in weight.
Later carload shipments of 20 tons
each will be made to centers of
utilization.

points. These may be schools, church
es, banks or department stores, as
well as in places where food is sold.

QUESTIONABLE.

I H0CoIloliStlLS
"This survey of the nursing re
sourses of the country must be thor
ough. 1t is suggested by Washing
ton that each Chapter appoint q. com.
mittee to have charge of this work
with an executive secretary, acting
head of the committee, who is able
to give his entire time to the work
1t is preferable that this secretary
have had draft board experience
Other suggested members of the
committee are: A representative
Red Cross nurse; hospital officer;
a member of the board of health; a
representative pharmacist and rep
resentative of the Chamber of Com
merce or other civic organization.
The name of the committee chair
man chosen should be Immediately
reported to Mrs. M. B. Thompson,
division supervisor of the nursing
survey, that all correspondence may
be sent such chairman direct.
Remember this nursing survey
has been undertaken by the Red
Cross at the direct request of the
War Department. Pfomptness and
efficiency in it's execution are vital.
Get your committee to work at once
and seethat everyone who has ever
had any nursing experience what
ever, fills out her QUESTIONABLE. {"
AS counterblast against German
poison gas attacks on the fields of
France, the Food Administration is
issuing call to housewives, grocers,
Gamers and proprietors of hotels
and restaurants to aid in the collect
ion of fruit pits and nut shells from
which to make carbon for the mill
lens of gas masks needed by the
American Army.
Investigations by chemists has shown
that pits of apricots, peaches, prunes
olives and dates, cherries and
plums and the shells of Brazil nuts
hickory nuts, walnuts and butter
nuts make the best carbon masks.
There is a double incentive to save
these. Not only will their carbon
save many human lives at, the front,
but consumption of fruit from which
they come will result in utilization
of perishable foods, while collection
of nuts for their shells will also make
possible the use of other meats as
food.
All pits and shells saved should be
dried and turned into the nearest
Red Cross organization or to such re-
ceiving stations as may be desig-
mated. The Red Cross will arrange
for their shipment to central points.
Grocers have been asked by the Food
Administration to provide the re-
ceptacles in their stores, into which
pits and shells can be dropped, and
to urge that their patrons save every
seed faithfully. Gamers have been
requested, through the Federal Food
Administration of the states to save
all pits.
Pits, seeds and shells should be
thoroughly cleaned and dried in the
sun or in ovens before being turned
in. Only those named are used; no
others should be put in the recep-
tacles, because time and labor must
not be wasted in sorting.
Hotels and restaurants have been
asked to save pits and to aid in Civ
