The annual picnic of the Holstein
Breeders association of Kandiyohi
county was held at the beautiful farm
home of Roy Bingham at Diamond
Lake yesterday in spite of the rainy
weather. There were from forty to
fifty people present, who were such
enthusiastic Holstein breeders that
they cared not for rain. A. J. Mcguire
Of the State University iExtenston
Department was present and spoke
on the benefits of the cooperative
creameries and kindred subjects
Those present had a good time, and
there was lots of ice cream and good
eats. Had the weather been fine there
would have been a record crowd.

Was in Thick of Battle.

Emil Rannestad, son of P. o. Ran
nestad, arrived home from France last
Friday evening. He is one of the
Willmar boys who certainly has been
in the thick of battle. In the Argonne
he had twenty-four days of continuous
open fighting. With but meager sup
ply of food they lay in the open snatch
ing such bits Of sleep they could mid
the hell fire going on continuously
about them. Never did he expect to
see his country or his loved ones
again, he says. He considers it no.
thing short of a miracle that he came
thru it all without scratch. Emil
was a member of the 328th Infantry.

YOEMANETTES GET ORDERS
FOR NEW SPRING STYLES

by International News Service)
San FRANCISCO, Cal, April 21-Spring
styles are the order of the day for
Milady Yoemanette.
Effective recently, the young women
assistants of Uncle Sans naval forces
have been ordered to put away the
dark blue waists which they have
worn for winter and don white.
The order also calls for spring haas
but little variations from the winter
variety.
A cry of joy went up from the yoe-
manettes stationed at local posts
when the order was issued. The dark
blue waists never did find much favor
among the navy girls, and it is with
sense of relief that they will fling
away the "winter garments of re
pentance" and go back to the colors
of spring.

Victory Bond Sale Starts Off Well
in This City; Committees Are Busy
SEVERAL BONDS HAVE BEEN SUBSCRIBED FOR; LIST
VOLUNTEERS UP TO O'CLOCK; $sOOOOO AT THIS HOUR

The sale of Victory bonds started
off quietly this morning. Interest is
centering in this matter and other
matters of business are quiet in conse-
quence. It was impossible to get a
full list of names at the time of GO
ing to press, and the total amount
subscribed was, of course, unavailable.
We give the names of the volunteers
up to the hour of closing the forms
for the days publication. 1t is safe to
say that considerable increase over
these figures will be shown by the
time the books close for the night.
There is no excitement over the sale,
but quiet, determined effort is being
made to bring out the full quota of
S79,5OO set for this city, and we have
no doubt that this amount will be sub
scribed. This bond issue is far the
best that the government has made so
far the best that the government has
made so far as investment is concern

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. No. 81
Peace Treaty May Not Be Presented to
Hun Representatives Early as Expected
Thought To Be Impossible To Get Ready Four Days.
Hun Delegates Must Be Empowered to Negotiate Peace

Paris, April 21.-Doubts were ex-
pressed here today as to whether the
perfected peace treaty would be pre-
sented to the German representatives
on next Friday. While the treaty will
be communicated to them in sub
stance, it was said today in well-in-
formed quarters, it is regarded as
physically impossible to prepare the
document in its complete and final
form in the four days remaining.
Premiers Lloyd George, Clemenceau
and Orlando met again this morning
and resumed consideration of the Ad-
Ratio question. President Wilson
again aosented himself from the con-
ference. The council of four will meet
this afternoon, with President Wilson
and Premiers Lloyd George, Clemen-
ceau and Orlando attending.
Germany's reply to the ultimatum of
the council of four that the council
will not receive any German delega-
ton which is not fully empowered to
conduct and negotiate peace is await
ed anxiously in peace conference cir
cles. The next steps towards peace
depend on the German reply.
Fears are felt that this unexpected
development may affect the program
for the meeting Friday at Versailles.
If the German government, in its re-
ply to the councils ultimatum, raises
a controversy regarding the status of
its delegates and the procedure to be
followed, it is conceivable that the ar
rival of the German delegates at YER
sailles may be postponed.

go WEST, YOUNG MANI
IF YOU WANT A DRINK

Ell Paso, Texas, April 21.-Jaurez,
the Mexican metropolis of border
towns, has become the oasis in the
great American prohibition desert.
On Gale Commerce., the number of
saloons has increased since the opera
tion of the Texas ten-mile military
zone law until every other door opens
into barroom. Barrels of American
made whiskey and wine are offered to
persons permitted to cross the bor-
der under prevailing passport regula-
tons.
Many of the old time Ell Paso saloon
keepers who were familiar figures at
famous and notorious places here have
.donner white aprons in Jaurez. Bars
and fixtures from Ell Paso have been
set up in Jaurez, slot machines have
been installed and, exception the pre-
ponderance of Mexican idlers, WISH
tor would think he was in an Ell Paso
bar of former years.
Bootlegging, the hand maiden of the
border saloon, is becoming an import
ant industry. American authorities
have discovered that Mexican serv-
ants, wash women and street laborers
who cross to Ell Paso each morning
carry contraband liquor in quantities
and are making more money through
its disposal than they are from their
labors.
The prosperous Mexican saloon
keepers say that a return to normal
passport regulations will make Jaurez
the mecca of sporting men from the
United States.

HELPFUL TO THOSE WHO
WANT TO MAKE THEIR
HOMES IN FLORIDA
STATISTICS OF COST OF ALL
SORTS OF LAND AND OPER-
ALTON OF FARMS

Gainesville, Fla, April ia re-
cent survey made by the Florida field
agent, bureau of crop estimates, dis
closes some interesting facts.
This survey divides the state into
four divisions northwest, northeast,
central and southern.
The average value of all pillow lands
in the state is given at $33 per acre.
The northwest division shows this val
ue at $25 per acre, the northeast sS23,
the central $43 and the southern S82.
In the northwest and northeast divis-
ions of the state, general farm crops
and livestock are principal products.
In the southern division winter vege-
tables and citrus fruits are prominent,
while in the central division all these
products combine to mako up the ag-
ricultural industry. The portions of
the state where general farm crops
and livestock are being produced offer
good opportunities for further devel-
opment and as previously shown land
values are comparatively low. There
are many old plantations which have
had but few inches of the top soil
worked that are now being offered at
less price than one can clear and put
new land under cultivation, and is ca
pable of being made to produce the
first year much better crops than can
be expected from new land.
There is very little demand for for
eign trained help. This condition is
caused by diversities of crops, soils.
and climatic conditions, and the alb
sence of the usual colored help.
The average rate of wages paid per
month, with board, for male help in
the northwest division is $22; north
east $24; central $33, and southern
$43. To this amount my be added
from $12 to S13 per month for help
without board. The average rate Of
wages paid for male help, with board,
per day for regular farm help is Civ
en- in northwest division as $3.50,
northeast S1.35, central $142, and
southern $1.79. Without board, north
west $1.85, northeast $1.85, central
S210, and southern $195.

MARKET SHOWS
NO LIKING FOR HORSE MEAT

Pierre, S. D., April PA corpora
ton to dispose of light animals to Eu-
ropean dealers in horse meat has been
formed by South Dakota horse dealers.
For many years light horses have
been of little value to South Dakota
ranchers. The plan is said to have
been discussed at Washington as one
means of providing the poorer classes
in continental Europe with meat.
Those behind the corporation say the
American market has shown little in
terest in the horse meat industry.
