A Pigweed Story.

Our worthy mayor, H. A. Humphrey,
wholly the way, is a scientific gar
dener, went forth the other day to
transplant number Of tomato plants
from his hotbed. AS it happened there
was number of pigweeds of a healthy
growth intermixed with the tomato
plants-the pigweeds and tomato
plants were about the. same size.
Humming the "Old Hundred" or some
other hymn, Mr.. Humphrey proceeded
with his transplanting, setting out
the rows in perfectly straight lines.
Satisfied with his work he started for
the house, but voice from outside the
fence attracted his attention. eli,
there, Humphrey" yelled a neighbor,
you've planted more pigweeds than
tomatoes, ha, ha, ha! And, reviewing
the rows, the scientific gardener re-
marked with surprise, "Begad, / guess
you're right, but, for goodness sake,
keep it quiet" The neighbor then
went up town on purpose to circulate
the story.

The Red Cross Drive.

According to Attorney S. P. Skahen,
chairman Of the county Red Cross
drive, the amount subscribed has fall
len considerably short of the sum an
ticipated. It was confidently expected
that the county would go over the
top, but from incomplete returns it
would appear that not more than SO
per cent of the allotment of 1000
has been contributed.
The villages of the county, so far
as we can ascertain, have oversub-
scribed their allotments-at least the
villages of Princeton and Milaca.
The "fall down" appears to be in
some of the townships, but, as we said
before, the returns received by Chair.
man Skahen are at this time incom-
plete, and therefore it is impossible ia
give details.
| Mr.. Skahen has been applying him
self assiduously to this task, and to
many other patriotic matters, such as
delivering loyalty addresses, ETC., and
his good work should certainly be ap-
preciated by every person in the
county. s. P. Skahen has, if any
thing, gone over the top in one hun
.dred per cent Americanism.

Memorial Sunday.

The customary annual memorial SER
vices in honor of departed war veter-
ans were held at the Methodist church
on Sunday morning and large num-
Der Of people assembled to pay tribute
to the heroes memory. However, for

other members Of the assemblage. Sc
lections by the choir and q vocal SOLO
by Mr.. Garrison added to the impress

$4,000 Paid Out for Potatoes.

Mr.. Sampson, manager of the
Princeton Starch factory, informs us
that $4,000 has so far been paid out
by his firm to the farmers for potatoes
at prices of from 60 to Is cents per
cwt.
Potatoes still continue to roll into
the factory Notwithstanding the fact
that the plant has been running day
and night since March e. A number
of carloads of potatoes have been re-
ceived from Mora, Isanti, Milaca,
Braham and Wisconsin, but temper
ary halt has been called on shipments
as the plants capacity is unequal to
the task Of keeping up with the re-
ceipts. About 700 tons Of potatoes are
now on hand besides a large quantity
of starch and flour. Two hundred tons
of potato flour have SO far been
shipped out and SO tons of starch. At
this time all starch made has been con-
verified into flour. The flour mill runs
10 hours a day and turns out from
eight to ten tons in that time.

Wheat Mill Feed Prices Cut.

Decided reduction in prices for
wheat mill feeds has been ordered by
the United States food administration.
Under the new schedule prices are
still based on the price of wheat. The
maximum bulk price of bran bears:
the same relation to wheat as former
ly-38 per cent of the average cost to
the mill. The price of flour middlings,
which was 50 per ton above the price
Of bran, has been reduced to differ
entail of 50. Red dog, which bore
differential Of SIS, has also been re-
duced So. :;
Mixed wheat feed prices, which were
81 per ton above bran, must now be
no more than $1.25 higher. Shorts,
standard middlings, gray shorts, and
gray middlings now bear bulk price
that must not exceed bran by more:
than 81 per ton.
These new price margins are the.
outcome Of an investigation into pres
tent milling methods. With the larger
percentage Of flour now being milled
from wheat the quantity of middlings
and red dog has declined materially.
These prices are for bulk carloads at
the mill. Those buying in small guam
titles at retail should consider freight.
dealers profit, and cost of sacks. The
sacks alone now cost between SIS and
Sc ton. Jobbing and retail profits,
however, have been limited to a
reasonable maximum.

to swelling the fund for the Red Cross,
locally. The minimum amount that
must be realized has been fixed at the
modest sum of $4,000. If that amount
is not Forthcoming through regular

tribution will be levied to make up the
deficit.

deliver ringing patriotic address,
such as he is capable of delivering he
will talk patriotism and not politics.

him.

at auction, useful and Ornamental, for
it is expected that the contributions
will be liberal. Every one who can
afford it is expected to contribute.
