much the same material to work on. OF

Y. M. c. A. Doing
Splendid Work manner
icanizing u. S. Fighters

The Americanization Of the United
States Army is one of the big jobs in
which the Y. M. G. A. is lending eff
ficient aid. Few people realize how
many foreign born men there are who,
while technically citizens of the United
States, understand and speak practi-
cally no English. In the first draft
alone there were 10000 foreigners of
many nationalities.
After Uncle Sam had called these
men, the next problem was what to do
with them, and it remained for the
Y. M. c. A. to help find the answer.
In the sixteen cantonments and Ma
tional Guard camps there are humid
reds of secretaries trained for this
and other great jobs. In every hut
there are numerous classes in English,
reading, writing, grammar, history,
geography, American government,
civics and citizenship.
Privates and noncommissioned Of
ficers Of experience and education are
called to the aid of the educational
secretaries, trained in association me-
thods and the work of Americaniza-
ton begins.
This work often proves so effective
that the men become fairly greedy for
more knowledge and ask for q con-
tinuation Of the educational advant-
ages when they are sent overseas.
Ten years of intensive effort in
teaching English to foreigners in
every association in the United States

has shown the secretaries the trem-
endous effectiveness of simple and
efficient method devised by one of
their brother secretaries, DR.. Peter
Roberts.
The Roberts method, takes group
of foreigners of many nationalities
and teaches them together and all
equally well, to speak and understand
English. Think what this means to
Russians, Mexicans, Turks, Swedes,
Norwegians, Portuguese, japanese,
Chinese, Dutch, Belgians, Rumanians,
Serbians, Swiss and Bulgarians who
are suddenly uprooted from theirsnew
found American homes, and thrust
suddenly in the perplexing problems

ing.

y. S. FOOD FACTS

AS our army increases, more and
more men will be drawn from the
farms; perhaps we have now passed
the peak of production. Harvests are
bound to vary with seasonal changes.
Our only safe course is to provide
enormous reserve stores of staple
foods both here and in Europe to meet
any emergency. In a later period of
the war, in some critical phase, to
have to stop in order to devote our
energies to farming might be fatal to
our final success. There must be no
let down in the program of conserva-
ton with, the new harvest.
Heartsned by our success we must
go ahead realizing more than ever our
responsibility to those who fight with
us and who look to us as the only
source Of food supply to save them
from destruction.
We must see that the morale of our
men and those who fight with them is
kept at high tide. We can do so if
they feel our support all the time. By
the food saving program the American
people are to keep them all in health
and comfort and courage until the
final victoryl DIR. Ray Lyman Wilbur.
Five pounds of sugar per capita will
be released for canning purposes in
Minnesota for September, making a
total for the season to October of Is
pounds per capita.
September regulations on sugar for
canning will operate along the same
lines as those in effect during August.
Those who secured sugar in excess of
Is pounds per capita before the per
capita basis was made effective will be
permitted no sugar; those who on
August 81 have secured the limit to
that time of 10 pounds per person will
be allowed pounds for each person in
the household during September and
those who have not yet secured any
sugar for canning purposes may have
during this month the full Is pounds
for each person.
"Sugar regulations have been made
in the main for the purpose of provid-
ing adequate sugar for all legitimate
canning needs" says A. d. Wilson,
federal food administrator for Mime
sofa, "and rigid adherence to the reg
ulations has made it possible to pro-

of fruit with it.
For regular household purposes the
two pounds per person per month rule
is still in effect; candy manufacturers
continue on a basis of so per cent of
their normal supply of sugar and bak-
ers are permitted 20 per cent, just as
before.
The elimination of candy from the
diet by consumers is suggested by the
food administration as means by
which additional sugar will be saved
for soldiers and for canning.
Osakis is the fourth town in Mime

Outside Talent Carries
OFF the Prizes in the
Bdit Casting Contest

The bait casting contest from the
City Park into Sank Lake Saturday
morning attracted considerable inter
est. Bait casting contests are a new
thing for the people of this vicinity
and but few local casters had work
ed up sufficient nerve to enter.
The mems accuracy contest created
the most interest as there were 16 en-
tries. Every contestant made five casts
at the target set 80 feet distant from
the starting point. The best possible
score would be 100. Roy Raymond Of
Ward Springs, well known in Sank
Centre, was one of the entries in this
event, and carried off second prize. DE-.
Goehrs and M. Borgerding of Melrose
were entries; most Of the balance
hailed from Glenwood.
In the mems distance contest M. O..
Clements, prize winner made one cast
of 200 feet. A back lash on his fourth
throw reduced his average to 160 feet
for the five throws.
A number of ladies were entered in
the events set aside for them and
showed marked dexterity with the rod
and reel. The bait casting contest will
undoubtedly become an annual event
in Sank Centre hereafter. The follow
ing were the prize winners in the
various events.
