GENEROUS GIVING
DURING HOLIDAYS
War Savings Christmas Is Plan
to Make Coming Yuletide a
Memorable One.

A large number OF employers
throughout Minnesota and many in
tviduals who are not employers are
ogaged in a common effort to make
Dhristmas. 1918, memorable % . War
hvings Christmas.
A leading employer expressed his
thought on the subject as follows:
Fighting has ceased, but we shall
aot be through with the war until
peace 10 permanently established, our
army 10 brought back and demo bilized,
all war bills have been paid and nor
nal industrial conditions have been
re-established. Therefore 1t IL just as
imperative that we sacrifice and save
today as when hostilitiss were in
progress.
Nevertheless there is abundant
cause for national and individual re-
joicing. This feeling of thankfulness
and Joy should be expressed in gen.
erous giving during the holiday sea-
son. We are not, however far enough
removed from the seriousness and the
sacrifices OF the great world war to be
frivolous in our thanks or the material

General Villa Is Framing

ATTACK ALONG BORDER
Assault on Some Large Town May ee
Undertaken With View to Ascer
tanning Attitude Of the United
States.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Ameri
can government has received informa-
ton that Pancho villa, the Mexican
rebel, is planning a demonstration in
northern Mexico with view to ascer-
tanning what will be the attitude of
the American government toward a
renewal Of his operations.
Officials OF the State department
would not say whether there was in
formation of the nature OF the pro-
posed demonstration"
Attack on City Planned.
1t was said Villa plans to attack
chihuahua City or some other impor-
tant town near the American border.
Government officials have informa-
ton that Villa already has collected
a large part of the following which he
headed before General Pershings ex-
peditionary force went into Mexico
In 1915 after Villas attack on Column
bus. n M.
Information here is that the gather
ing OF the Villa forces already has
caused much apprehension among the
inhabitants of towns and ranches in
northern Mexico and the Ameri-
can government IS keeping close
watch on the situation. There was
no indication, however. as to what
the attitude OF the government would
be should Villa renew his operations
in Mexico.
No Alarm Over Monterey Incident.
No great importance Is attached by
officials here to the diplomatic ex-
changes resulting from the clash at
Tampico Nov. 27 in which members
of the armed Naval guard of the
American steamer Monterey killed the
captain Of the Mexican customs guard
and MORALLY wounded another Next
can soldier
Reports of the incident are held to
show conc,usively that the Americans
acted in self-defense. and Il il ex-
pected that this will be conceded.

carrying out the idea of War Savings

that they will be freely used. We feel
very sure the giving OF stamps az

had to stand in the way of lower

system of grading will not last

1t is time the potato growers
take advantage Of the situation
and help work out some sound
and reasonable scheme for grad

handled on their merits. Pine
County can deliver the goods
when it comes to potatoes, but
now is our opportunity to throw
our weight into the balance and
help establish a satisfactory
grading system.
A delegation of potato growers
should be present from this
county. If you cannot go, fill
out the following and mail to
your Farm Bureau at Hinckley.
We will see that the opinion of
Pine County growers is properly

Mr.. Culver in a statement issued by
the Treasury Department. When the
people have lived up to their 1918
pledges for the purchase Of stamps
as they undoubtedly will live up to
them-and have purchased stamps
literally during the holiday campaign.
Minnesota should go over the top with
flying colors. In order for the state to
take it's proper place in the financing
campaign. however. it will be neces-
sary for everyone to do his or her part
not only in fulfilling the pledge he or
she has made, but in assisting the
local organization in selling all the
stamps as promised and few more

of their promise to their Government.
Our work will be greatly simplified,
however, if each individual will think
back to June and recall what amount
of stamps he promised to buy. If he
has bought them, he should buy few
more If he has not bought them, he
should fulfill his pledge at once
In this greatest hour of the worlds
history, there is one question that is
staring every one Of you in the face
1T must be answered and answered
satisfactorily before you have right
to take your part in the great and

Feed Well.
The business of the coopera-
tive crcameries in che state
shows that dairy cows may be
made more profitable than ever.
While most grain feed is high
priced, there has never been a
time when it would pay better
to feed we'll. The market for
butter and cheese is very steady
and the present price will prob
ably continue thruout the win
ter.
For the month Of September,
butterfat reached the highest
price in the history Of dairying
in Minnesota. Reports from 253
cooperative creameries show one
that paid " cents: & that paid
20 cents; III between SIS and 70
cents; So between 60 and IS
cents; 80 between so and IS
cents; and one doing a small
business AZ cents. The average
of the 253 was 63.7 cents.
Cooperative cheese factories
in Minnesota paid from 20 to 80
cents a pound for buttcrfat.
With the world calling for but
ter and cheese and these prices
prevailing, no COW should be al
lowed to go dry thru poor feed
ing and care. Cows may now be
fed a liberal ration of grain and
where there is poor hay and 9TH
er roughage. grain should be fed.
II will not only pay we'll, but the
world needs dairy products.
