Fred D. McMillen
Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Republican Candidate for Represen-
tative in Congress. 10th District. Mr..
McMillen has resided in Minneapolis
over 20 years; he was born and raised
on a farm near Clinton Falls, Steele
County, Mimi, and was educated at
Pillsbury Academy, Owatonna, Mimi,
from which he was graduated in 1890.
After leaving school he spent two years
in Colorado and Utah and then entered
the law department of the University
OF Minnesota, from which he was grad
uated in 1894, and has practised law
in Minneapolis since that time.
Mr.. McMillen made the following
statement of his political principles:
Since our beloved country has be-
come involved in the world war it is
our duty to make whatever sacrifice
may be necessary for it's protection
and defense and to preserve and pro-
tect the liberty which our forefathers
have given us for the benefit of our
selves and posterity. Over and above
all else we must consider the welfare
of our nation, first last and all times.
Let us never forget the words of our
immortal republican leader, Abraham
Lincoln, when he said that the gov
ernment or the people, by the people
and for the people shall not perish
from the EARTH
"If should be elected shall co.
operate with, and support the presi-
dent of the United States in the dis
charge of his duty as commander-in-
chief of the army and navy, to the best
of my ability.
II believe that efficiency and econ.
omy are very important, if not abso-
lutely necessary elements in the sue
cessful prosecution of any undertaking.
II have great confidence in the 10y.
atty, ability and efficiency of the re-
publican party and if elected 1 shall
vote with it's members in organizing
the House of Representatives and be
guided by it's opinions and advice"

Novena Closes.

The National Novena for domestic
and general peace, recommended by
the Bishops, concluded on Saturday
evening, May 1S-except in few in
stances where special closing services
were, on the ground of conveniences,
held yesterday. The Dublin churches
were thronged to overfowing through
out the week, revealing in a remark
able way the spiritual unity and exul-
tation of the nation in the face of the
gravest crisis in it's history. The No
vena was followed Sunday morning
by General Communion of all the
participants and again impressive
scenes were witnessed at the early
Masses everywhere. The Confessional
duty on Saturday entailed heavy de-
mands on the priests, some of whom
were kept busy almost up to mid
night. 1t is believed that never before
were such throngs of people in the
city churches for this duty, and re-
ports from the provinces indicate a
like fervor in practically every city,
town and country district.

was Immediately raised. The wing is
connected with the main building by
short passage, and fear was enter
tanned that the fire, which rapidly
gained hold, would spread to this
part of the house.
The wing in which the outbreak oc-
Cured was an extensive building two
stories high at the front and three
at the back, and comprised eight bed
rooms, linen stores, etc., on the upper
floors and kitchen, laundry, pantries,
etc, on the ground floors.
The fire, it is conjectured, was
caused by defective flue.
The flames spread rapidly along the
floors and roof, and though assistance
was speedily procured, the location
OF the flames as we'll as the lack of
effective fire apparatus, made the ef-
forts to extinguish the outbreak prac.
tically useless.
The damage, which is extensive, is
covered by insurance.
It.was on the grounds of this estate
that O'Connell and D'Esterre fought
the famous duel in which the latter
was killed.

port of Sir Thos. Russell, Chair
man of the Council.

man Of the Council.
Dublin, June 1.-Sir Thos. Russell
presiding at the Council of Agriculture
meeting, said it was not an unreason
able estimate for the harvest of 1915
to say there will probably be 100000
extra acres ploughed as compared with
1916, when the ploughed area was 2,
400,332S acres. In future it would be a
question of calling for certain area
Of tillage, and, in event of non-com
pliance, either of taking possession OF
OF fixing a penalty of not more than
pound S per acre for every acre in
default
Farmers must get every possible
ounce Of food from the soil; let them
in return, get all they can. He hoped
willing cooperation of the landhold
ers would make it unnecessary for
the Department to use it's powers for
seizing untitled lands, as is done in
England. 1t was expected that before
the season closed 100000 tons of Irish
potatoes would be exported; the high
est was 23S,O00 tons in 1916. The
demand for prohibition this year of
exports of potatoes never deserved any
consideration, as Ireland itself could
only consume a certain proportion of
the crop.
For long the average value of the
Irish flax crop did not exceed pound
100000 a year. The total value of flax
bought in all Irish markets up to Mar.
81 last was 1884 tons at total value
of pound 2,717,9s1; average price per
ton being 2Ss. 3d., a phenomenal in
crease in quantity and value.
In 1917, according to official figures,
there were 1,546 cases of default in re-
gard to 20 counties; 14,9S4 acres in
default, and total area ploughed out
of old grass as result of correspon-
dence was 15,S27 acres. The number
of claims for exemption was 1872; the
number granted, 1853; number of entry
cases in which conacre lettings for
1918 crops were made in respect of
25 counties was 162, and total area
set 4,765 acres.
Replying to Mr.. Field, M. P, Sir
Thomas said the Department long ago
made up it's mind that beet is not a
crop it would be of advantage to
Irish farmers to cultivate in present
conditions, and it had not changed it's
mind
Mr.. O'Gorman, Cork, said the Presi-
dent told them it was their duty to
grow as much food as possible, but
omitted to say what the duty of the
Government to the farmer was or that
it was to give proper reward to them
for their toll. He was informed the
Government is selling wool at more
than 100 p. h. profit. They would come
to the conclusion in the country that
the President was. more concerned in
supporting the Government than in
the interests of the farmer.
Replying to Col. Sir Nugent Ever
ard, Prof Campbell said the Govern.
ment stated that if they fixed price
for certain potatoes it should not be
below certain figure. They had fix
ed a price for England and that af-
fected Irish early potatoes going
across.
