rifle, produced In large quantities for the German government and others. Is not made with the mechanical &C., curacy demanded in the manufac- ture of the chamber and bore of the U. $. rifles. One of our rife experts, who recently fired a captured German rifle, states that the bore was not as accurately finished as in the Spring field rifle, nor was the rife ammuni- tion as accurate.
 To form some idea of their stand ing, the records of the Springfield rife and it's cartridges in information al competitive tests with the military rifles and cartridges of other countries may be considered:
 In the International (Oiyrnpic) Shoot of 1908, held at Btsfey. Eng land, the United States, United King dom, Canada, France, Sweden, Nor way, Greece and Denmark participat ing and scoring in the order just named, our rife team won first place with the Springfield rife.
 In the International (Olympic) Shoot of 1912, held in connection with the Olympic Games at Stock holm, Sweden. national teams all us- ing their military service rifles from the United States, Great Britain, Swe- den, South Africa. France. Norway, Greece, Denmark. Russia, and Hun gary scored in the order just named.
 Tn 1912 at Ottawa, Canada, the American team firing Springfield ri- fles put on the targets the worlds record for any military rifle at 800, 800, and 1000 yards. This record still stands.
 ry, Do ,4~Sy fNro o1t Match. held at Buenos Aires in 1912, in which the United States, Argentine Chile, Peru, Brazil and Uruguay scored in the order named Springfield rifles and cartridges won first place.
 Tn the Palma Trophy Match held at Camp Perry, Ohio, in 1913, the United States with the Springfield (U. S. rif1e) model of 1903, Caliber .30; Argentina with the Mauser, caliber 7.65 m-m: Canada with the Ross ri fle, caliber .303; Sweden with the Mauser, caliber .256, and Peru with the Mauser, caliber 7.65 m-r1, scored in the order named.
 Teams armed with the Mauser were defeated at these matches, whenever used. In winning all these victories for the Springfield rife. and the Am erican cartridge, great credit is given the man behind the gun-the Ameri- can marksman. In all, the present Springfield rife was used in the de- feat of the military rifles of fifteen nations.
 The modified Enfield rife has been received with satisfaction in the Na- tional Army Camps and some re- markable scores for men untrained in military rifle shooting have been made.

Paul. Three children were born to
Rev. and Mrs. Pilgrim, two sons,
Walter and Paulus, and one daugh-
ter, Gertrude.
Mrs. Pilgrim was never very
strong and for number of years
has been somewhat ailing. In the
early part of February she was taken
seriously i'll with appendicitis from
which she recovered but she did not
regain her former health. An opera
tion seemed the only remedy to re-
store her to health and this was per-
formed on Saturday, April Is, in the
Eitel hospital in Minneapolis by DR..
Eitel himself. Altho a serious oper-
alton was anticipated, yet it proved
to be much more serious and compli-
Gated than was expected and she
passed away Sunday afternoon, con-
fident that she would meet her Savior
above to enjoy a better life.
Her body was laid to rest Wednes-
day afternoon in Crystal Lake ceme-
terry, Minneapolis, on a lot which
Rev. Pilgrim had purchased for a
resting place a number of years ago.
The services wer held in the church
of Rev. Hartig, 18th and Dupont
Ave. North, the church in which
Mrs. Pilgrim was married. Rev.
Hartig officiated, assisted by Prof. J.
Cormils of Phalen Luther Seminary
and Rev. p. Rick of st. Paul.
Mrs. Pilgrim, was 48 years and
nearly months Of age at the time
of her death. She was a loving and
kind mother and a model of true
Christian piety. She is mourned by
a large circle of friends.

Attention to this matter on the part
of the folks at home" will greatly
facilitate the work of the county
auditor and insure the proper cast
ing and counting of the absent voters

LOTS may be had without charge by
applying to the county auditor or the
secretary of the Minnesota Commis-
sion of Public Safety. 1t is also in
tended to supply them to the banks
and newspapers of the state for free
distribution.
1t is also important that these
blank applications should be gotten
into the hands of the absent voters
at once. The county auditors will
be very busy in getting out election
supplies during the twenty days i'm
mediately preceding June II ,and so
far as the matters above referred to

to that extent efficient attention to
his duties under the order will be in

EVERY HOUSEHOLDER IS
REQUIRED TO REPORT
Must Make Report On Wheat Flour
Whether Excess On Hand or
Not Any

Mr.. r. M. Adams, Food Admins
traitor for Stevens county, calls at
tention to new ruling made by the
Food Administration which requires
every householder to make a report
on wheat flour, even tho they may
not have any on hand. It is very
essential that the exact amount of
wheat -four in the country be known
SO that Uncle Sam will know how
much to ship to the soldiers in Eur
ope and how much to keep at home.
This report is to be made to the
county food administrator at once
and if an excess is reported he will
advise what. disposition is to be made
of it.
The government needs the flour
and an attempt will be made to dis
tribute if fairly and where there is
an excess amount on hand it will be
put back into the channels of trade.
Every householder who secured more
than their share of flour after Janu-
ary 1st, 1918, can require the dealer
pay the same price as paid by the
consumer, as the dealer had no right
to sell over thirty-days supply and
must take it back at >the price paid.
If secured before January 1st, 1918,
the dealer should take it back at mar
ket value if he can handle it. If the
dealer cannot handle it the house
holder will be permitted to hold it
subject to the order of the county
food administrator, and use out OF
it at the rate of 6 pounds per capita
per month, but no more.
Anyone who refuses to give UP
flour when so requested or who trys
to conceal the amount on hand will
be reported to the Federal Food Ad-
ministrator and dealt with accord
ingly
Farmers should also remember that
all wheat must be marketed by the
18th of May except what is to be
used for seed this year.
