Farmers Should Guard Artillery

The federal food administrator for
Minnesota has appealed to the farm
ers to take greater care than ever in
protecting their ARTILLERY of agri-
culture" form the weather. He says:
with food the tremendous fac
tor in the present crisis, the farmer
with his fields and his field "artil-
lery' hold the balance of power. The
outcome of the war depends largely
upon the coming Spring drive" on
the farms of America. The lack of
food had more to do with the weak
ening of the morale of Russia than
politics and America cannot afford
to let another of it's associates in the
conflict weaken because it faces star
walton. Owing to extremely high
prices of farm machinery we recon-
mend unusual care and effort in re-
pairing for use all machines where
ever this can be done without seri-
ously reducing the producing power
of man labor on the farm. Good
machines and large machines are alb
solutely essential to the economical
use of the limited supply of labor we
now have. Protect the machinery
from inclement weather; keep it we'll
oiled while in use; turn useless
machinery back into the channels of
trade by disposing of it for junk for
the conservation of machinery just
now is an important thing"
The following six points are being
urged as ways in which this part OF
the nations defense can be con-
served.
/. Orders for new equipment and
repair parts should be placed as soon
as possible.
2. To produce maximum results
with minimum of labor, new and
modern machinery in large sizes
should be used whenever possible.
8. Serviceable equipment, not
needed, should be sold or made avail
able to others.
4. Useless machinery should be
returned to the channels Of trade
as junk.
s. Thoro fabrication and proper
care when In use will materially

ALBERTA SCHOOL NOTES

The school committee, consisting
of Fred Grafelman, Mrs. Bagstad
Miss Bertha Hack and Miss Helen
Hale have brought about the or
ganization of the Junior Red Cross
Auxiliary of the Alberta High
School and grades to work in con-
junction with the Red Cross branch
at this place. The committee with
the assistance of the entire school
force were unusually successful in
getting a complete membership roll
of every pupil in the building.
Each teacher is taking up some
special line of work with the pupils
in her room. Miss Wetzel's primary
department is making a woven af-
CHAN; the Intermediate Department
a knitted afghan the Grammar De-
partment is continuing knitted work
previously started; the High School
Department will work on the larger
pieces in knitting and sewing.
Both boys and girls are actively
engaged in club work for the coming
season, one of the important phases
of Junior Red Cross work Up to
date there is not Stacker" at
school. Every Junior Red Cross
member is busy.
A great increase in the number of
War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps sold during the past month
has been noted.
Every one especially invited to
attend the literary meeting and also

co Whereas, the working of the
Federal Grain Grades is causing a
financial loss to the wheat growers;
it is resolved that unless the Mime

to correct the injustices that now
prevail, we will be compelled to de-

Farmers Condemn Federal Grain
Grades

recommendations made by the
conference of delegates from the
wheat growing districts of Mime
sofa, held at the office of FARM,
STOCK & HOME, Wednesday eve
ming, December 9Th to the Federal
Grain Grades Fixing Committee.
CD Resolved that it is the sense
of this meeting that wheat be not
graded down on account of excessive
moisture, unless the excess is more
than Is per cent, and when it is
graded down on account of moisture,
the inspector shall note on the in
spection ticket what grade the wheat
note the quantity of moisture in the
wheat inspected.
(2) Moved and seconded that we
request the Federal grade fixing
board to modify the ruling regarding
cookie, vetch and wild rose seeds and
consider them separable seeds and
not inseparable foreign matter.
(3) Moved and seconded that the
Federal grading authorities instruct
the inspectors to state on the inspec-
ton certificate the percentage of
valuable dockage in each car Of grain
inspected.
(4) Whereas, it is a recognized
fact that the milling value of North
western wheat is superior to South
ern wheat, and that an obvious in
iI1ctico 10 dono to tho former hv Of
tempting to standardize grades
throughout the entire nation, we
petition your board to appoint a
committee, familiar with the quail
ty Of our wheat, to fix the grades
for this section in conformity with
the milling value Of the various
kinds and classes Of wheat.

Farmers Can Grow Their Own Suga,

Minnesota farmers should grow at
least a part of the sugar they con-
sumo, says DR.. r. A. Gortner Of the
Minnesota College of Agriculture.
They can do this by making either
maple, sorghum, or sugar-beet syrup.
The growing of sorghum would prob
ably be preferable in the southern

rRIRuTE TO I'LL FLAG

AS the funeral procession Of Rollie
v. Duty passed through the square
Monday only one man in a arge
group removed his hat when the flag
PASSED. He was an elderly mar and it
was evident from the manner in which
he held his hat he had seen service
under the flag. In the days after
the war such an incident will be too
common to comment upon. II is I'M
fortunate that today there arc so
many Americans who do not pay the
flag the tribute it deserves.
Men who have been in the army or
Natic1aI Guard understand the flag
and what it stands for and almost un-
consciously uncover their heads
Every day the flag is becoming more
and more worthy of the ideals it rep.
resents and deserving more courtes!
than it is shown. 1t represents tn
willing and devoted sacrifice of on,
forefathers, the glorious deaths o
many of cur young men of today an,
those who are going cover there" t
give their lives that all which
stands for may Be free from the mer
acc of the hun. Uncover when tn
flag passes; it means more than
pretty piece of bunting waving in ii
breeze, especially when it is drape
with crepe.

In speaking of f. J. Deane, Of TINS

prison for attempted interference
with the draft, the st. Louis Post
Dispatch says:
an resisting the plea for clemency,
Assistant District Attorney Wood

not SO favorable to the defendant.
Some of these were from special IN
yestigators employed by Woodward
TO look into Dcane's past record in
Idaho and Washington.

Doauo was pastor Of a Methodist
Church there in 1905 and was forced
to resign after differences with his
congregation. After leaving the
ministry he operated a lively stable
for a short time and then disap-
peared, leaving behind him boxes and
packing cases in which his personal
effects were supposed to be stored.
These boxes, according to the letter.
were seized and opened and in them
were found many articles which nae

10000 MISSOURI
GERMAN VOTERS
HIT IN NEW BILL
Flood Measure Would Take Ballot
From Aliens Declaring Citizen
ship Intentions

WASHINGTON, D. G., March H.
Thousands of enemy aliens granted
suffrage in 10 states upon declaring
their intentions of becoming citizens
after six months to one years resi-
dence will be deprived of this privilege
if a bill introduced in the House by
Representative Henry B. Flood,
chairman of the Committee on For
eign Affairs, is enacted.
Missouri is one of the states where
aliens are allowed to vote on first pa
pcrs. Politicians here estimate that
a law along the lines advocated by
Representative Flood would disfran-
chise $4,000 voters in st. Louis and
particularly the Tenth Congressional
District.
About 100000 in Missouri are af-
fected.
Other states where aliens have the
right to vote for President and othel
offices are Alabama, Arkansas, lndi
ma, Kansas, Michigan, Nebraska
Oregon, South Dakota and Texas. Ii
all these states are thousands of Ger
mans and Austro-H ungarians.
Party Lines Forgotten
Politicians of both parties have liz
formed their Congressman that man
congressional elections in the state
may be decided by citizens of the kai
ser unless the measure proposed b
Flood is speedily enacted into law.
Flood is said to be proceeding witt
out considering what political parti'
would be affected by the ELIMINATE
of the enemy aliens and Republics
leaders, while %conceding that MAI
Republican districts might be turnt
over to the Democrats by thrown
out the alien vote, declared that tt
disloyalists should be eliminated fro
suffrage before next November.

REED STILL
MR.. HOOVER


IT is hard to understand some Of
the contentious by Missouri represen-
tatiyes at Washington, regarding the
Governments attitude toward the
war.
Along this line the St. Louis Star
editorially says:
senator Reed says the Hoover food
policy is idiotic, that the law of supply
and demand should not be interferred
with, and that CONSERVATION reigns
among the farmers. Senator Reed is
80 determined to make the people OF
the United States believe that he was
"a wise guy when he opposed the APP
pointmcnt Of Hoover, that he says
many foolish things. The farmers
are not in CONSERVATION, but are rest
ing comfortably under the assistance
of Il minimum price for wheat fa'
above any legitimate price the grain
even brought.
~ representative body of then
meeting in ST. Louis has just voted t
increase production as much as posi-
BILE. As for the law of supply and dc
mand, as it operates in this country
the consumers thank their star
nightly that they are not left in it
clutches. When the relations of tn
present Senators from Missouri wit
our war administration are consider
cd, there is brought forcibly to mir
that wise saying: "A mans foes al
they of his own household"

large bank in Raleigh ha da fine dairy
cow in their lobby one day and held a
public reception for her so that all
who desired could see what a fine COW
really was. His letter telling Of his
work follows:
Dear Mother and Father:
We have been having some fine
spring weather here and farmers sure
have been taking advantage Of it.
Have planted part Of our garden
redishes and lettuce are up.
There is a strong campaign on to
induce the farmers to grow more food
crops than ever this year. ! have
= been hard at work trying to induce
more farmers to keep a good family
cow and better cows in place of some
of the scrubs. There are plenty OF
10 farmers in the cotton and tobacco sec
tions of this state that do not even
have a milk COW. The average COW
re of this state produces only $50 lbs. oil
ru butter a year, so you can easily sec
that she would not be profitable from
a butter standpoint.
'es have gotten the cooperation OF
number Of banks in the proposition
They agree 30 loan reliable farmers
'p' who will agree to grow sufficien
OTIS good roughage and grain to keep
good milk cow, money at a low rat
inc of interest for the purchase of i'm
as' proved dairy cattle. By the 10th
lslV this month l hope to have orders fc
A or 5 car loads of cattle for variou
re- farmers, not more than two to on
ans party. I will then get a good DAN
+ section to select this stock accordir
t"o to individual orders.

us display a good Jersey COW we pu
penC chased in Ohio last fall in the lob
