WINNIPEG, Manitoba, March a.
The big penny Of Canada. for years
the subject of mild controversy in the

what of compromise. as enemies of
the giant penny wanted it melted out
Of existence. One of their chief ar

DUEL WITH BIRDMAN

How Aviator Gave Joe Frederickson
the Scare Of His Life.
Lyle Thro, the Mankato airman,
passed over in his biplane last Sat
urday noon, going east toward Nor
ristown, says The Madison Lake
Times. He returned about 6:15 the
same evening, flying slowly, and a
short distance west of town, dipped
close to the ground and passed over
the Joe Frederick place, where Joe
was busy stacking hay. Joe was busy
with the fork on top of the stack and
when the birdman passed waved to
him. By way of reply young Thro
circled and swooped down close to
the stack. which was something Joe
had not counted on, and having read
a heap about bombs and things in the
war articles, he turned flip flap off
that stack p. d. q. Not hearing any
explosion, he picked himself up and
shook his fist at the airman, who
gave him the laugh and beat it to-
ward Mankato. He gave Joe the
scare of his young life, and the lat
ter is drawing up plans and specifi-
cations for dugout, with an eye to
future raids.

ORDER YOUR SEED CORN
Minnesota Farmers Should obtain

Minnesota Farmers Should obtain
100000 Bushels This Fall.
Minnesota farmers should obtain
100000 bushels of seed corn this fall
to insure the quality and quantity ne
cessary for next springs planting, ac-
cording to announcement by the Uni
versity of Minnesota's agricultural di-
vision. To that end county farm bur-
eaus of the state will cooperate with
the division in seed corn campaign
in the period from September 10 to
90
About 100000 acres in the state
are to be sown to corn, and the need
I is for one bushel to every six acres.
The selection of seed corn by farm
ers next month will insure against
such shortage as was experienced in
, the spring of 1918.
OF the 100000 bushels said to be
needed, Blue Earth county is called
on to set aside 100000 as it's estimated
acreage which will require 1888 bu-
shells of seed. Martin, Jackson,
Mobiles and Blue Earth counties need
the most.
Farmers will be urged in "Seed Corn
Time" to select liberal margin over
one bushel to the acre to give a chance
for termination before planting.

Jobs FOR UNskILLED MEN
They Can Find Openings In ths
Ship Building Industry.


Splendid opportunities are now
open to disabled service men to OBJ
tain vocational training in the ship
building industry at the same time
that they are earning excellent in
comes. it is announced today by Col
onel Arthur Woods. assistant to the
secretary of war, who is in charge Of
the re- employment of lex service
men.
Men who are interested in these
opportunities should communicate
with the office of the assistant to
the secretary of war, which will pro-
vide them with further information
on this point. The chief opportunity
is with the Submarine Boat Corpor-
alton in Newark, N j., which offers
from forty six cents to fifty six cents
per hour to men who are learning the
trade at the same time that it teaches
them any of the following trades in
its schols: riveters, holders on
heaters, clippers and caulkers, ream-
ers and drillers, boilers, regulators,
painters, shipfitters, pipefitting, mar
inc plumbers, pipe coverers, pipe
hangers, erection machinists and
electric welders.
A man can become a proficient
ship worker within six weeks to two
months, depending upon the trade
and his personal application, when
he is put on production. He is taught
right on the job and is producing at
the same time that he is learning.
The records of this school show that
many graduates are earning SIS to
500 week as riveters, and very
substantial wages in other related
occupations.
This is typical Of the manner in
which large industrial concerns are
responding to the request of the war
department for the training Of un-
skilled discharged service men who
are ambitious to become skilled
workers but must at the same time
be earning enough to support them
selves,

FIRES KEEP RATES HIGH
Minnesota PoIicyhoIders Must Pay
Million For the Forest Flames.

d ~ ~ tssS StSch fotst~cs
Minnesota policyholders must pay
nearly $1,000, 900 additional insurance
Rrerptuns this year that insurance
companies may recoup on Moose Lake
forest fire losses, according to a for
NAL statement by John B. Sanborn,
state insurance commissioner, in a
department bulletin.
Fire insurance companies in order
to collect the additional revenue, the
commissioner indicates, may be al
lowed TO continue until next year the
soealled surcharge equal to ten per
cent Of regular rates effective during
tina war period. A statewide investi-
cation and readjustment of fire insur-
ance rates may be expected, the COM
missioner adds.
The statement followed numerous
complaints to the department tending
to show that the surcharge is becom-
ing unpopular with policy buyers, now
that the war is generally considered
ended.
