The potato crop of the United
States averages about " bushels
per acre: that of European Rus
sia. 100 bushels; France, l35; Aus
tria. 80 bushels; United Kingdom,
ia bushels and Germany 200 bush
els and upward per acre.
The latest bulletin issued by the
bureau of agriculture says the win
ter wheat production will reach ST.
$4,000 bushels. 1t also says that
the rye acreage will yield 100000
bushels. and that the hay produc-
tion will reach l07 10000 tons. of
which l5.o26,0O is wild growth. The
largest crop OF winter wheat ever
known was 6S4.o9O.0O0 bushels, in
1914. In 1910 4S0.553.000 bushels
were harvested.
There has been no recent legis-
laiion on immigration in the United
States. In 1894 and again in 1918
and 1916 congress passed bills re-
stricting immigration to those able
to read some language, but in each
instance the bill was vetoed by the
president, and the majority for re-
striction was not large enough to
override him until early in l97.
when congress passed such a bill
over the presidents veto.

Council OF National Defense Is COM
posed Of the following men:
Sec. of War Newton ID. Baker.
Secretary OF the Navy Josephus

ton.

mans Committee is DR.. Anna Howard

Twenty-three states have already

ty-fourth The chairmen of registra-
ton are Mrs. Charles Peterson, Crys-
tai Fails; Mrs. VIM. Uren, Alpha;

work Of the east side of Iron county
was under the general direction of
Mrs. f. Scadden, chairman of Crystal
Falls unit Mrs Beulah Robinson

side. TO date the registration has
been as follows, according to rough
estimate: Crystal Falls, 900; Alpha,
225; Amasa, 235; Tobin, 100; West
ern, 20. The main facts disclosed by
registration are: The Finnish people
came the first two days in great num-
bers and registered willingly. There
were few exceptions to this, but
so as TO be unnoticed. There were
great numbers Of women wholly Hit
crate or being only able TO read and
write in foreign tongue. The most
surprising fact brought was the num-
Der OF English speaking American
| citizens who had hitherto done no
war work. They all pledged, and IL Is
! hoped will be encouraged to fulfill
/ their pledge. There are some few wo-
men who have not registered. They
will not be urged TO do so. The Coun-
! ell Of Defense in its orders TO the
workers stated. "Disloyal and unpa-
triotic women will not be asked &c

ARRESTED FOR BRIBERY.

Sheriff Wilson received a telegram
from Milwaukee last Monday asking
him TO locate Andy Morgan who was
supposed To be some where in Iron
county, and arrest him.
Mr.. Wilson got busy at once and To-
Gated his man at Kelso, where he was
working for construction company.
He was placed under arrest and later

The following account. regarding

kee Sentinel:

him immunity from police interfer-
! ence, II he operated gambling house.

mer that he intended TO open a new
gambling house and is alleged to have
offered the bribe, provided, che, the
said Bruno Zellmer. and all other DO
lice officials OF the said city OF Mil
waukee, would refrain from molesting
arresting and apprehending. or inter
fering with the said Andy Morgan"
Andy Morgan" is said TO be the
alias OF Greek. who goes under that

ABOUT THOSE ROADS.

60 our editorial friend OF Iron
piver calls the road from the flor-
once line 10 ALPHABETICALLY 10 DC
extended 10 the copper country
"branch road" Now, il he'd Just stop
IN think over the proceedings he mas
nrhlished he would recollect-that ~,
provided he cares TO recollect any
thing that doesn't ft in with his dis
tortions OF the truth-that tne loau
mentioned Is trunk line highway
upon which the county Is drawing a
trunk line reward; that the state -
building q concrete bridge across the
Paint river on this trunk line hlgn-
way and that IN order to get TINS
bridge the county must CONSTRUCT
three miles OF macadam ROAD.
There il no money being spent by
Tho commission on branch roads TINS
wear excepting small amount 10
keen the road 10 Gibbs city passaDle'
We understand that IL is the inten-
zion OF the commission 10 construct a
s.branch road" through Iron RIVER
and Stambaugh townships Just as
soon as this Paint river bridge por-
fion is finished; one that Will not on
" connect with Forest county nut
will also connect with Villas county
as well. The commission is now in
vestigating a route by which the
larger portion OF the road TO the two
places may be combined into one
road, the diverting roads branching
from the main trunk as far out to-
wards the line as possible.
By this arrangement the commission
may be able TO get most OF this road
trunk line because Of its connectloh
with the Wisconsin trunk line. By
this arrangement the bridges will be
state bridges and the county relieved
of a large expenditure and at the
same time crossing of the Brule by
a concrete bridge be assured. All OF
these things the Reporter editor could
have known and, doubtless does
know, but the admission of it doesn'
fit In with his TRADE against Crystal
Falls, so he prefers TO either ignore
them or 10 dIstort the facts.
