inclinations.

people of the Northwest because
think all of them are patriots, or are
anywhere near perfect
Il do know, however, that large
majority of the men in these North
west states understand what this war
means, what part the United States
Government must take in this war If
It is to be brought to successful
conclusion.
They know that the people Of the
United States, individually and collec-

ment If it Is to accomplish it's great
ambition and bring harmonious peace
to the world.
"They know that America must
finance her Allies and that If America
furnishes the money it means victory.
Every American must do his full
share. know that the men and
women of the Northwest appreciate
their duty to their Government and
will perform it at whatever cost to
themselves. They have learned that
everyone in America must get under
the load which America is carrying

county has to do is to subscribe the
amount allotted to 1t and to secure
1t properly and without resort to any

In the 100000 bushel seed corn
drive to be carried on in Minnesota
during Seed Corn Time, September
1920, the farm bureaus of Minnesota
in cooperation with the Agricultural
Extension Division of the University
of Minnesota and the Federal Food
Administration, are putting great EN-
phasis on three things:
Method Of selection.
Curing.
Storing.
In selecting seed corn, corn growers
are urged to choose, from standing
stalks in the field, medium-sized well
shaped ears of a variety that has been
grown in the locality for some time;
ears nearly as large at the tip as at
the butt, with straight rows Of uni.
form well-shaped kernels and not
more than 16 or Is rows of kernels
to the ear; ears with kernels that
fill all the space on the cob.
In curing farmers are. urged to put
their seed corn in warm dry place
each day as it is picked, in order to
avoid danger of exposure to freezing
weather. For curing, it is also urged
that the corn be placed upon racks
or hangers of some kind so that the
air may circulate freely about each
ear, and thus enable it to dry thor
oughly before freezing weather can
injure it.
Seed corn should be stored in the
attic, in some unused second story
room which is we'll ventilated, or in
cellar in which there is heating
plant.
Both for curing and storing sim
pie wooden rack has been devised by
Knute Bjorka, county agricultural
agent of Isanti county. Drawings Civ

across at the base, and calls for the
following material: two, inch x 4

They are simply and easily put to-

BEEF ONCE A DAY IN PUBLIC
EATING PLACES UNDER
NEW RULE.

Favorable developments in the beef
situation have made it possible for
the food administration to ease up
somewhat on the rather complicated
and stringent rule regarding the use
of beef in public eating places and
these are now permitted to use beef
for the midday meal every day in the
week. The midday meal hours are
set at from IL O'Clock a. m. to $3.50
p. m.
Householders are permitted to pur-
chase no more than IN pounds OF
clear beef, or liz pounds including
bone per, week per person.

USED TO TAKE II MONTHS

Washington, June 2.-Establish-
ment by American shipbuilders Of a
new worlds record in war ship con-
struction was announced today by
Secretary Daniels. The feat was
performed in the launching yester-
day at the, Mare Island navy yard,
San Francisco, of the torpedo boat
destroyer Ward, seventeen and one
half days after the keel was laid.
The record for merchant ship con-
struction is held by the United
States, the collier Tuckahoe having
been launched recently by the New
York Shipbuilding Company in tWen-
ty-seven days after the first keel
plate was put down.
The Tuckahoe was practically
ready for service when put over
board, while the Ward was "a per
cent. complete with the engines and
boilers yet to be installed.
Before the United States went to
war, Secretary Daniels said, the av-
erage time for a destroyer on the
ways was eleven months, but with
the destroyer program rushed dur
ing the past year this time has been
reduced to five months.
AS much structural work as pos
sible for the Ward was prepared be-
fore the. keel was laid.
Naval constructor H. M. Gleason,
planned and had immediate charge of
building the Ward.
