Ex-Soldiers VS..
|. W.. w. Menace

Boise, Idaho.-Thirty-0ne I. w.
w., the first to be caught in the ten
tacles of the strong police organiza-
ton effected by the state constabu-
larry and northern Idaho sheriffs
since Saturday night under orders of
Robert o. Jones, state law enforce
ment commissioner, have been ar
rested in the lumber districts about
Standpoint and Priest river.
This information was conveyed to
Commissioner Jones at noon today
in brief telegram from Jack Foster
northern Idaho constabulary super
intendent.
Foster did not elaborate on the
circumstances of the arrests, but
Commissioner Jones has ordered him
and the sheriffs of that part of the
state to apply the law to its fullest
extent, invoking the vagrancy law
where it was apparent the states
stringent criminal syndicalism law
would not apply.
Foster wired for official shields
and for blanks in order to swear in
additional deputies. He announced
that he had deputized member Of
the American Legion from each of
the posts at Standpoint, Occur d.
Alene, Wallace and St. Maries.
These deputies can, within few
hours, summon a large force of men
and citizens if necessary.
Sheriff Mitchell of Lewis county
notified Commissioner Jones that he
had arrested an 1. w. w. picket at
Winchester, and that the man is be-
ing held under the criminal syndi-
calism law, which makes it felony
for anyone to be member Of an Or
ganization teaching sabotage or de-
struction s3 q means of accomplish
ing political or social reform.

Why They Did 1t

The five million uniformed young
men who served the United States
under the colors during the war rep
resented democracy militant.
That ordeal has passed, but de-
mocracy still needs stout champions
and where can it find better ones?
Last week the American Legion
conducted a drive to enroll as many
as possible of these five million
young veterans as members. 1t en-
rolled a tenth. The membership
campaign Is continuing.
In the army and the navy, Ameri-
cas- heroic five million accepted the
leadership it found and obeyed Or
ders. IN the American Legion they
will give the orders and choose their
own leaders.
This means that they can make
their Legion a powerful force for the
lettering of political, industrial and
social conditions, and the safe way
to do it is for all to join and then let
the majority rule.
Representing, as they do, every oc-
cupation, race, creed and locality, it
will require only the sacertainment
Of the will of their majority to re-
fleet accurately the will Of the whole
people Of the United States.
General Pershing gave sound ad-
vice when he urged the Legion to
beware of partisanship.
Undoubtedly there are designing
men who would like to capitalize it
for personal or party ends.
The broader the base Of member
ship, the more inclusive the enroll
ment, the less will be the danger
from this source.
The war taught discipline, but in
peace a different kind of discipline
is required.
The discipline of war requires in
slant and unfaltering obedience.
Theirs not to reason why;
Theirs but to do or die"
The discipline of peace is exactly
reversed To reason why becomes
the only honorable basis of action.
Cohesion, courage, strategy and tao
tics have their due place in the bat
ties Of peace, but each citizen has
freedom of mind; each citizen is ex-
pected to do his own thinking. .
From what we know of the newest
war veterans we do not believe that
they are likely to surrender this free
dom of personal judgment.
Therefore we do not fear that the
American Legion can be delivered"
1t cannot If its membership is in
elusive.
On the contrary, a complete en-
rOllment Of the men whoSfought for
their country in war, will make an ir-
resistible assurance of that country's
protection and honorable advance
ment in peace.
So we gladly join in the new men,
bership drive and wish the American
Legion unbounded success

Fitting the Land


When the land is plowed in the
autumn, it should be left as plowed,
but as soon as it is dry enough to
work in the spring it should be gone
over with a disc or spring-tooth har-
row in order to conserve as much
as possible Of the winters supply of
moisture for the potato crop which is
to follow.
When the land is plowed in the
spring it is very desirable to disk
or harrow it as soon as plowed, in
order to prevent the loss of moisture
as well as the baking Of the newly
turned soil and the consequent diff
Guilty involved in putting it into con-
dition at planting time.
A good general rule to follow in.
fitting land for potatoes is to lose
no opportunity in the spring to keep
the surface soil broken up so as to
prevent baking and the loss of mois-
ture, which later on may be badly
needed by the plants. When giving
it the final preparation before plant
ing the crop, no reasonable effort
should be spared to put the soil in
the very best mechanical condition
possible. To accomplish this may
require the use of cutaway or disk
harrow; also a spring-tooth and a
smoothing harrow. The character
of the soil determines to large ex-
tent the amount of horse or tractor
labor necessary to put it in an ideal
condition for planting. For ex-
ample, gravelly or sandy loan soil
can be fitted with much less effort
than a clayey loan soil, which has
strong tendency to run together after
heavy rains and then to bake as 1t
dries out.
Well prepared land is claimed by
some growers to constitute so per
cent of the problem Of producing a
large yield of potatoes. This is
probably an overestimate of its value
but it must be evident that it is a
great asset in the production Of a
profitable crop.
ITO be continued.)

Depth to PIow

In some respects the question of
depth to pillow is a difficult one to
answer because the depth of the sur,
face soil and the character of the
subsoil are in a large measure the
determining factors. II the surface
soil is deep and fertile 1t may be
plowed to a depth of 10 inches or
more, but if shallow it is not advis-
able to pillow more than half an inch
or an inch deeper than the surface
soil. For example, If the surface
soil is but 6 inches deep, it is best
to pillow to a depth of 61s or z inches.

Preparation Of the Land

- Preparation of the Land
Where the land is not subject to
washing during the winter, 1t Is usu-
ally preferable to plow clover or
alfalfa sod in late summer or early
autumn. A few successful potato
growers prefer to plow their clover
or alfalfa. sod in the late spring,
claiming that the new growth thus
secured when turned under. deeply
soon decays and becomes available
to the growing plants. However
this may be, it is believed that fall
blowing is generally the more desir-
able practice, because it insures
more complete decay of the sod and
in addition exposes the upturned soil
to the sweetening and disintegrat-
ing Influences of sun and wind,
freezing and thawing, and rain and
snow during the winter months.
In handling an alfalfa sod 1t is
customary to.crown the land in early
autumn. Growing consists in plow-
ing the land 3 or 4 inches deep, using
broad and sharp-edged point in
order to cut off the alfalfa crowns
below the surface of the ground.
An occasional discing or narrowing
of the newly crowned land in the
autumn greatly facilitates the drying
out of the alfalfa crowns and their
consequent destruction, thereby ma
terially lessening the cultural care
Of the potato crop during the ensu-
ing season, at least in so far as it
pertains to the eradication Of the old
alfalfa plants:

SlBLEY PARK PICNIC WAS
HELD IN MIST AND RAIN
Fifteen Hundred People From Far
and Near See Beauties Of i Il
New State Park. =:

In spite of the threatening weather
which developed into fall rain be-
fore evening, hundreds Of autos from
many places of this part of the state
brought visitors to the Indian Summer
picnic at Mount Tom last Sunday af-
ternoon. The crowd that lined the
east side of the hill during the speak
ing numbered fully 1900. Had fair
weather prevailed doubtless there
would have been thousands of visitors.
Instrumental music was lacking, as
none of the bands that had expected
to come ventured out in the threat
tening weather. m.
The program began by the singing
of America. Rev. Swan w. Mattson
of Willmar had charge of the meeting
Speeches were made by V. E. Lawson,
Peter BrOberg, Senator P. A. Gandrud,
and Representative John Wicklund in
the order named. The first speaker
made some historical comments re-
gard1ng the park movement. The rea-
the park was because the neighbor-
hunting ground of the first governor
Of the State, and because he had al
ways been particularly partial to the
Kandiyohi region. and as governor
tried to have the State Capitol locat-
ed in this region of the state.
Peter Broberg was introduced as the
president of the Monongalia Club and
man who had done much for the
park movement.
Senator Gandrud congratulated the
people on having acquired this fine
public park and spoke of work done
in the legislature.

Another change in the pharmacist
circles of Willmar took place last
week when Ed. Mossberg, the well

years association with his brother, G..
B. Carlson, been in the employer G.. F..
Clark, the first druggist of Willmar,
in. all nearly thirty-eight years. AS
sociated with him in the store will be
his son Arthur and the new firm will
be known as S. B. Carlson & Son.
With the transfer of the stock Mr..
Mossberg also assigned his newly ac-
quired lease to the quarters in the
Metropolitan Building on Litchfield
avenue, now occupied by Henry Nor
rell, to which location he had planned
to move his store in the near future
and to which place Mr.. Carlson will
go as soon as it is vacated by Mr..
Morrel.
We understand Mr.. Mossberg ex-
poets to move soon with his family for
southern California.
