Potato Meetings for Princeton.

Plans have been formulated for
some time for a three-day meeting for
the potato growers Of Princeton and
vicinity whether from Isanti, Sher-
burne or Mile Laos counties, the series
Of meetings to be held in the form of
an institute or agricultural short
course and to cover the many inn
portant. phases Of the potato industry.
Specialists have been secured for the
work. Potato variety specialists will
discuss the merits and dement's Of the
different varieties and the need for a
standardizing of varieties. A potato
disease expert will discuss in full
local potato diseases and suggest the
most practical means Of combating
these diseases. Expert potato growers
will give their experiences in the pro-
duction Of the crop from the stand
point of methods of cultivation, varie-
ties, yields, profits to be expected, etc.
"A specialist will also be on hand to
go over the marketing Of potatoes
from every phase and standpoint. The
program cannot be definitely given as
yet. The meetings will be held during
the latter part of November providing
the danger from the influenza epidemic
has cleared away by that time. It is
requested that the farmers Of the re-
gion be ready at short notice to avail
themselves to the fullest Of the ad-
vantages of these meetings. Sugges-
tions from farmers, buyers or others
will be welcomed. The object is not to
give a series Of talks on the raising
Of potatoes only, but to go to the very
! heart Of the potato business.

To the Voters Of the 18th Legislative
District, Comprising Kanabec,
Mile Laos and Sherburne Coun-
ties:
Gentlemen: In announcing my cam
didacy for State Representative I de-
sire to call your attention to the fol-
lowing:
In the first place realize that agri-
culture is the leading industry in this
district and that the success and pros
perity Of our citizens depend almost
wholly upon the success which comes
from the production and economical
distribution Of farm products.
! am now, and for six years have
been, the secretary Of the Kanabec
County Agricultural society and, af-
ter serving as treasurer Of the Mime.
sofa Federation Of County fairs, was
reelected to that position.
I grew up on farm in Grass Lake
township, this county, and during an
active life have been closely and init
mately identified and associated with.
the farmers and farming conditions,
not only in my own section Of the state
but throughout the northwest, and be-
cause Of this fact ] feel that am
competent to act and speak for the.
best interests Of all farmers in this.

Many Ask State
To Find Farmers

Bismarck, N D., May 29.-North
Dakota resident landowners who are
not in position to cultivate their hold
ings are calling upon the North Da-
kota Council Of Defense to find some
one to break this land and put it into
flax. Scores Of letters have reached
the office of Secretary Box from people
who are perfectly willing to accept
10 per cent of the profits as their
share if their lands can be put into
flax, Of which Uncle Sam asks an alb
normally large crop from North Da-
kota this year. Secretary Box urges
that anyone anywhere who has a
tractor outfit and equipment suitable
for the breaking of raw land and
seeding Of flax at once communicate
with his office, as he now has more
available land to distribute than he
has farmers to farm it. Flax promises
to pay big returns this year, and vol
unteer farmers may kill two birds
with one stone-nake a nice piece of
money and demonstrate their patriot
ism at the same time.

BIG CAMP Align IN
STATEFOR ". 5. 5.
STARTS JUNE e
North Dakota Must Buy
100000 In War
Saving Stamps
THIRTEEN COUNTY
LEADERS IN CITY
One Dollar Saved Now Is
Worth Two After War,
Says HOLSTER

Thirteen counties in the southeast
ern district of North Dakota were
represented at a meeting held this
morning at the Fargo auditorium for
the purpose Of planning the War Saw
ing Stamp campaign. The object OF
the government, as explained by
George H. HOLSTER, Fargo, chair
man OF this district, is to get the peo-
pie to save and to invest their saw
ings in War Saving Stamps during
the remainder Of 1913.
During the past two weeks Mr..
HOLSTER has conducted meetings at
Grand Forks, Mtnot Bismarck and
Fargo, instructing the county minis
tiers in each county as to the govern
ment's plans for the coming stamp
drive. Mr.. Hollister said this morn
ing that the workers all over the dis
trict are enthusiastic and expect very
good results during the balance Of
the year.
In accordance with the proclama-
ton of President Wilson designating
June %, as National Thrift day,
meetings will be held all over North
Dakota on that day, or during the
week previous to June %, at which
the people will be urged to save their
earnings for War Saving Stamp
purchases.
AloRg with this plan the monitor IN
each county has been advised to send
ont pledge cards to every adult per
son in the county. The people will
be notified of tho date and place Of
the meetings in their respective COM
nunities and will be asked to pledge
a certain amount for War Saving
Stamps.
All pledge cards will be handled
under the direction of the county
monitors and it will be their duty to
see that everyone is supplied with
card and that the pledges are paid.
North Dakota's quota in the War
Saving Stamp campaign is $1S,00O,-
600, or $40 per capita. At present
the amount per capita in stamps in
North Dakota is about 81. Every
state in the Union is starting rigid
stamp campaign and North Dakota
win be expected to do its share. At
present Nebraska leads the nation
with about $14 per capita
In speaking Of the Importance or
the War Saving Stamp campaign this
morning, Mr.. HOLSTER said that every
dollar saved now will be worth two
dollars when the war is over, and
that If the war lasts very long, 1t
will be still higher. These facts. and
others, said Mr.. Hollister, must be
brought before the people Of the state
at the school house meetings held
during the week ending June q.

MONTANA is AROUSED.
Reports of German Plot in New York
Recalls Searehers.
tBy Associated Press,)

(By Associated Press.l
Helena, Mont, May 29.-DiscIos-
ures in New York Of a plot to take
up arms against the United States
by Germans in that city has caused
much interest throughout this state
because the details coincide to a
striking degree with stories which
were in circulation here during the
early days of February, 1915.
Reports, which were founded on
truth, that secret service men were
searching Helena and other Montana
cities for arms which have been
buried for German revolutionists
caused unusual excitement Secret
service men declared they had found
a cache of guns and were watching
it that they might locate the men
who planted the rifles. Re they did
the fact was never made known. The
story died down so quickly that there
is q suspicion that an unofficial
censor squashed it.
Although much of the activities Of
the secret service men in this state
are such that publicity Is impossible,
1T has been known for many months
that the department is interested in
the possibility Of q German airship
base somewhere in western Montana,
and OF German wireless plant amid
the almost innpenetra.ole forests in the
western part of the state.
