very close rub. Most of the other
six prizes were won by club members
from Alberta, retaining for her the
reputation of being the corn center
of the county. What the boys can
and are doing is reflection of what
the fathers can do.
Henry Busch of this school won
the blue ribbon in the Duroc-Jersey

bers should be congratulated upon
this victory. They fell proud of
showing that they did something
better than anyone else could do it,
besides helping their country to vic
tory in raising the most valuable kind
of food stuff. George Stein of Chokio
won over all pig contestants with
his pig that won fourth prize at the
state fair. She is Chester White,
and was produced very cheaply by
George. George wins a handsome
cash prize and registered Chester
White pig to start him well in the

Perennial Sow Thistle

We are all familiar with the de-
destruction wrought by Canada this
les and quack grass but great many
are not familiar with the perennial
SOW thistle which was recently dis
covered in one section of Stevens
county. This weed is equally as de-
structive and undesirable as the 9TH
ers and everything possible should
be done to prevent it's spreading
through the county. 1t is perennial
and can be distinguished from the
annual SOW thistle by the long under
ground jointed stems from which new
plants start. 1t also has a larger
blossom than the annual species. It
may be told from the other kinds of
thistle by the tall slender stems and
fiat yellow blossoms about an inch
and one-ha1f in diameter 1t spreads
both by roots and seeds. The seed
can be carried by the wind as readily
as that of the dandelion or other
thistles.
Everyone should try to become
familiar with this weed and If found
on his premises should at least keep
it from going to seed. If possible,
the patches should be destroyed.
This can be done by the methods
used for destroying quack grass and
Canada thistle.

Help Finance Texas Revolution

About two weeks ago suave, slick
sort of fellow, with a very limited
command of English but quite pro-
ficient in the use of German, appeared
at Waconia and quietly went about
calling on some of the residents of
the village and the surrounding coun-
try. Strange as it may seem, it hap
pened that he called on people who
through some freak of fortune had
found it impossible to acquire Liberty
Bonds in the recent drive. Strange as
it seems now, his call on these par
ticular persons may have been-un-
derstand, may have been-prompted
by knowledge gained through persual
of an index system containing stack
or blue cards. Everyone has heard
more or less of blue cards, so why
mention them.
At any rate the mission of the gen.
tleman was conducted with as much
promises from 10 to Is men to lend
financial support to a little project
which he had in mind.
The project was the starting of a
revolution in Texas.
After having secured financial
backing ranging in amount from $50
to $3.50, he took his departure after
remarking in perfectly plain Eng
lish that he'd hate like the very
dickens to be in the boots of the men
he had signed up. There is now a
lurking suspicion in the minds of the
dupes that the supposed German gov
eminent agent is none other than a
secret serice operative who Endorses
his monthly pay check issued by some
official other than the German Chan
cellor of the exchequer Some of the
packers are suffering from loss of
sleep. Others gaze longingly at the
big railroad maps. In the words of

The purpose in the appointing of
advisers is to place men where they
can do most to help win the war.
These advisers will be able to help
greatly the district boards to keep
in agriculture the necessary workers
These workers, whatever may be
their inclination to enter military
service. should stand ready to serve
in any capacity in which they can
contribute most toward a speedy
ending of the war. In order that
this may be done frank statement
should. in each case, be made to the
boards. 1t is believed that it will
frequently require as much courage
on the part of many men to remain
in their civilian occupation as to
waive deferment.
This effort to keep men in indus
try, rather than to send them to the
camps and the trenches, should not be
abused so as to permit the Stacker to
escape military duty. The neces-
sites Tor raising an army are para
mount. Every man that can be
spared will be needed and needed
badly to bring the enemy to his
senses. The adviser should be as
sisted in every possible way by every
legitimate agricultural interest to
find the men that can be spared for
military duty, but also to keep those
that are essential to the mainten-
ance of proper food supply"
