NOTICE..

1t has been reported that some
thoughtless young men in the city are
in the habit Of removing banners from
automobiles left standing on our
streets. The young men have probably
never considered the seriousness of
their acts and that the good name of
our city is injured thereby. The
practice must be discontinued and all
offenders in the future will be prose
cuted.

CAR SHORTAGE " f.-

Shippers Ought to Notify State Rail
49,. road Commission Promptly.

q Complaints Of car shortage are being
heard in various parts OF Minnesota,
not only in the grain belt, but in. the
Industrial centers. Ordinarily at this
time Of the year there is an increased
demand for box cars for the movement
of grain and other farm products and
the United States Railroad Admins
tration, through its Ger Service section,
has attempted to meet this demand by
allotting thousands Of additional cars
for this service. .-.--::s SO
It is Of course impossible to foresee
the exact spot which such cars will be
needed and some Inconvenience prob
ably is inevitable. Shippers, whether
Of grain, agricultural products or man
ufacturers, will do well to notify the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commission, st. Paul, whenever there
appears to be a shortage in the car sup
ply, as the Commission is in position to
render the shippers valuable assistance
in their transportation troubles. The
Commission, according to Judge Ira B.
Mills, its chairman, is particularly
anxious to be in touch with the box
car situation.

COUNTY AGENT ..>.s
VISITS EAST END

County Agent John HUSKY returned
home today from trip to the Middle
River country. He told the Sheaf that
all grain is turning out much better
than was expected in the eastern part
OF the county-the average for wheat
probably will be very close to 20
bushels per acre. In his report for
threshing to the government for August
the average for the whole county was
1917 bushels of wheat to the acre,
Said report included only 20 farms on
which threshing had been finished then.
about 900 acres, and these farms were
mostly in localities with a light yield.
The county will show much better
average than that when the complete
reports from all farms have been re-
ceiyed. On 81 Of the 70 farms report
ed for August the average for last year
was only Il bushels of wheat per acre.
Mr.. HUSKY has collected. some fine
samples Of seed corn. Much of the
corn though has been hit by the recent
frost and not great deal of seed can
be saved in this county.

TO PROVIDE MARKET FOR WOOD.

Active steps are being taken by the
Public Safety Commission to encourage
the use Of wood as fuel this winter and
to provide an easy market for it in
those sections Of the state where wood
is scarce article. The chief obstacle
has been freight rates and the Com
mission is seeking a reduction in this
respect as we'll as adequate shipping
facilities in order to- supply all de-
mands. 100000 acres of Northern
Minnesota lands are covered with
splendid timber for fuel and it will be
a great service in, the coal crisis il it
can be made conveniently available and
economical for fuel as well as prove a
desirable source of revenue to those In
the timbered sections who are engaged
in developing their farms. It is posi-
BILE that the state fuel administration
will take hand in the matter and adj
just matters so that all unnecessary
handling and expense will be elimin-
ated. The people will do their share
by adjusting their heating apparatus if
possible to permit the use Of wood to
the greatest possible extent.
