DIES IN FRI NCE
Message is Received Announcing Death
/ of Edward Rud From Bronchial
s. Pneumonia.

a message was received from the war
department. on Dec. 10, announcing the
death of Edward Rud in France on
Dec. 8, 1918, of bronchial pneumonia.
This sad announcement brought the
deepest sorrow to a young and devoted
wife to whom the deceased soldier was
married but a few short months before
he Joined the colors, and also brought
grief to his parents, brothers and sis
tiers and host of friends. They were
all looking forward to the joyful day
when he should return, now that the
war is over, but their fond hopes were
not to be realized. Edward Rud en-
countered an enemy more deadly than
German shells and shrapnel and was
laid low. He died no less a hero than
those who give up their8lives in the
trenches or when going over the 'top'
His strong and noble young life has
been offered up as sacrifice on the

ut will be seen that potatoes, alone,
showed a decrease in production over
the previous year, but that is not as
serious as it looks if we stop to remem-
Der that the crop of 1917 was record
breaker, that the average for the five
years previous had been something over
2S,000,000 bushels and that the one mil
lion decrease of this year in production
was an increase of four million over the
normal production.

WILLIAM KLOPP TELLS
OF EXPERIENCE AT FRONT
November "a, 1913.
Dear Father:

Dear Father:
AS this is the day all soldiers should
write to their fathers back home, I will
write and tell you where and what I
have done over here. First, must tell
you I am well and feeling like going
back to the front.

yet, only when coming here / came
through on the train.
Well, / was going to tell you what
and where I have been and done. The
first thing did when came to France
was to drill every day, rain or shine,
until. I went in the trenches on Aug
30 and have been there until I got
gassed. The first trenches was in was
near Metz, only eight miles they said,
to the city. I was on that front until
Oct %, and all the while I was there
the enemy threw big and little shells at
us. They came so close I was pretty
scared sometimes, but always trusted
in God to take me safely through.
It was funny to see those six inch
shells burst down in valley when we
were on hill. They would come
whistling through the air, then a puff
of black or white smoke, and loud ex-
plOsion and pieces of iron would fly in
all directions. When they came within
80 yards, I did not feel very good, but
those that came that near were mostly
three inch and Of the same stuff.
have seen shells nearly as tall as / am
and about IA inches through.
/ Then when came off that front, /
went to the Verdun front, or the west
ern front, and was there until l came
to the hospital. On that front, all /
did was to dig place for the gun, so
the gunner could have protection, and
dug trench to the reloading station
under shell fire two nights straight
We had to do everything in the night,
because in the daytime the enemy could
see us, as they were only little ways
from us. They could hear us and
would throw up flares that would hight
up everything for a long way. But
when they did this we would stand
perfectly still and they could not see
us because we were just in the, edge Of
the woods. This was inthe Argonne
Forest where I was. It was a nice
timber once, but not any more It was
not nice to be on guard at night in the
timber only little way from the Ger
man lines and all the rest OF the guys
way back, that is the infantry. It was
always two on guard at night; we al
ways had the guns loaded, and pistols
loaded and ready to shoot but they.

az cooperative concern, that is incor-
sporated for $1,00O0OO. A large num-
,ber of the prominent business men and
farmers of Grand Forks and other
towns in the Northwest are stock
holders in the company. Quite few
of the leading stockmen Of Warren and
vicinity, as we'll as elsewhere in the
county are interested in the undertake
ing. But it is largely owing to the
enterprise and foresight of the pro-
gressive business men of Grand Forks
that the packing plant has been estab-
ished. s,Sss Il HIS,
The erection Of this great plant in
Grand Forks means much for the de-
vaopment Of the live stock industry
all over the Northwest. A market is
now provided close at hand for every
thing in the way of livestock, and
farmers and stock raisers will not now
be entirely at the mercy Of the big
packing plants in Chicago and other
terminal points.

Maybe you would like to know how
we get our eats. Well, in the Company
we all had to line up one behind the
other, then go by the cans and the
cooks dish it out. Here in the hospital
we have to have tickets and line up
same as in the field, only that there are
about one. thousand men in the line. If
you do not wait to get ticket or go to
the wrong kitchen, you are out of luck
until you get the right ticket.

w eek's Food Fact

The Federal Food Administration
now is history. With war restrictions
lifted it's activities now cease Accord
ing to legal record it lives as an admin
istration until the peace proclamation
is signed but its clerical force has been
greatly reduced and it's chief aim from
now until it passes out of existence en-
tirely is to see that proiteering and
the way Of the profteer are made diff
cult.
No state administrator in the coun-
try will be able to send in his final re-
ports with greater pride than the adj
ministrator for Minnesota, says A. D..
Wilson, who has directed the affairs of
the food administration for this state
Minnesota has responded to every call
with goodwill and promptness that
are worthy big place in the war his
tory. It is not an easy matter to so
use words that they may convey the
full appreciation of a deed we'll done,
but I would like to say to the people of
Minnesota that they have put, over one
VI lAC D1SSCSC IOOu pIOSIdluS Ol the
country. No accurate figures are avail
able as to the amount of wheat saved
in response to the food administrators
appeal, but it is believed that from one
bushel to one and one-quarter bushels
per capita is a reasonable estimate. AS
nearly as can be determined, 100000
pounds of sugar was saved =. reports
from about half Of the public eating
houses in the state show meat saving
of 2,S13,O00 lbs. of beef; $4,000 pounds
of mutton; 1,413,00O pounds of pork,
and $4,000 pounds of lamb and veal.
The same reports show that one million
more pounds of fish was used In the
matter of greater production the states
response was splendid. Thousands of
war gardens were grown and thousands
of cans of food preserved from these
gardens. Minnesota farmers produced
more food in 1918 than any year in the
history Of the state. In addition to
holding a normal production of dairy
products and beef and making a Is per
cent increase in pork the following crop
record was made:

WINTER RYE FOR
NORTHERN MINNESOTA

Forty plots Of winter rye were sown
this fall at the Northwest Experiment
Station. Not only are many varieties
being tried out to determine which is
best adapted to our climate, but also
rate of seeding and date Of seeding
tests are being made. Previous expert
ments with rye have been conducted
during the past few years blu this years
seeding is more extensive than any of
the previous ones.
Several plots of winter wheat were
sown for comparison with the winter
rye, but from earlier trials winter rye
is surer crop for this section of Min
nesota. Last year all except two of the
winter wheat plots We're winter killed
and only about % per cent of each of
these survived. while all Of the winter
rye plots wintered very satisfactorily.
Earlier results have shown that some
method of winter protection is neces-
'sary for winter wheat in this section.
Growing winter wheat in certain sec
lions of northwestern Minnesota, where
the soil is somewhat sandy and where
some protection is offered, has met with
fair success, but winter rye has repeat
edly given excellent returns and a
harder plant by nature
With this extensive series of plots at
this Station, farmers in this section Of
the state may gain considerable in
formation next year by visiting the
fields personally or by inquiry at
threshing time

The joy of living is best found IN
the real success of life. Take away
success and there's no joy in life to
one alive to opportunities and respons
sibiilties. No live man is satisfied with
mere existence, for he wants to con-
tribute something to the worlds prog
ress, the worlds good. And II is in such
contribution that real joy is found, the
satisfaction that comes from full reali-
zatlon that one has done what he
could in the year given him. So this Is
the joy this Journal wishes every read
