Preus Insists on Harmony.

"Co-operation," J. A. O. Preus, the
republican candidate for governor,
says, is going to be the 1920 campaign
keynote, while c. r. Adams, the new
chairman of the republican state cen
trail committee adds, "and no factions"
eve have a winning ticket in Mr..
Harding, the presidential candidate,
and Jake Preus, our choice for COVER
nor, and this is no time for personal
differences" says he. "Burying the
Ratchet" has been Mr.. Preus' chief
line of activity ever since being de-
clared the gubernatorial nominee, and
he has an active aid in Chairman
Adams. His first act was to take
over the warning factions that have
made the state capitol their head
quarters for the past four years, and
the advantage gained here in politi-
cal way has been further augmented
by general get together on the part
of republican factions in other parts of
the state. There is no denying the
fact that there has been much republi-
Gan dissension in the past and that
party decentralization has been threat
ened as result. Candidate Preus in
sists on harmony and it looks as if he
were going to get it.

Women Need Coaching in Politics

b a
Mrs. James Paige, national director
for the fifth region of the league OF
women voters, who attended both the
republican and democratic national
conventions, says that making women
efficient politicians and getting them
into the national parties at once is the
aim of the league.
Judging from her observations al
the two conventions, where she met
several women who already are re.
ferred to as politicians, Mrs. Paige be.
lieves women are not yet efficient in
politics.
"Sob Stuff term which Mrs
Paige says has been an obstacle and
an unfair one, has no place in women's
political activities.
Women will be intelligent and eff.
flclent voters, but they must also be
efficient politicians in the truest sense
of the term. Some women are efficien,
now, but most Of them are not vet
versed in politics."
The plan Of the league will be tc
begin at once a campaign to get
women to vote in the general election

Knife Only Cure for Apple BLIGHT


Heroic treatment is needed for the
apple blight, which, according to hor-
tlculturists at university farm, has APP
peared in orchards of the state again
this year. The knife, and not the
spray, must be used to stop the
blight. The apple blight, says R. S.
Macintosh of the agricultural extern
sion division, works in the inner bark
OF the tree and soon destroys manv
tWlgs and branches. When the dis
ease gets into the trunk and large
limbs it often causes the death of the
tree. Spraying is. not effective. s.The
best we can d." adds Mr.. Macintosh.
rs to cut off the blighted twigs six or
more inches below the spots where the
disease shows. The knife, pruning
shears or saw should be sterilized in a
solution of bichloride of mercury.
Cankers which appear later should be
cut out and the wounds sterilized."

MAKE 1T A WINNER.
Put Your Shoulder to the Wheel and
Assist in Making the County
Fair the Best Ever.
No Reason Apparent Why the Dis.

1t has been deemed advisable by
the Mile Laos County Agricultural
association to hold it's annual exposi-

every effort to make the 1920 fair bet

attractiveness than that Of any previ-
GUS year. In addition to the increase
in premiums the amusement features
will comprise the very best obtainable

There is no apparent reason why the
fair of 1920 should not be the banner

state.
Farmers have the products in great
abundance and all that remains is to
place them on exhibition when the
time arrives. An endeavor to outclass
other county fairs should be the aim of
every farmer in this territory.

in the fall. The campaign will not
favor either party and both republican
and democratic women will take part.
eff it is true that the balance of
power is in the women's vote, then we
must see that that vote is cast in the
election" said Mrs. Paige.
"There are thousands of women who
do not now contemplate entering into
politics this year. They should do so.
It is important to women and to the
country. We are going to get them
into the parties if possible.
TT may take period of years to
make women as efficient in politics as
they should be. It is-new to them and
many of them have taken no interest

Work of Boys and Girls Clubs.

The bows and girls of west district 4
have been active club workers during
the last five months and have taken
up two projects. Sixteen boys and
girls enrolled in the bread club, and
five in the pig club.
The members Of the bread club have
finished their bakings and sent their
reports and stories in to the state de-
partment at the university farm for
examination. A few days ago word
was received from there stating that
Ida Mae Jones had taken first place in
her club and won free trip to the
state fair this fall. This club is the
only country bread club in the county
but it is to be hoped there will be
much more club work in the Mile Laos
county schools next year. The men,
bers have monthly meetings and pro-
grams and last week held bread con-
test. Robert Gennow scored the high
est on his loaf of bread, receiving 941a
points.
The pig club members are raising
their pigs to be judged for the St.
Paul stock show in October, and they
are each working for a prize. They
are raising full-blooded. stock and in a
few years farmers will find that it is
much more profitable keeping full
blooded pigs in preference to scrubs.
Boys and girls will be more willing
to stay on the farm if they are en-
rolled in some definite project such as
canning, gardening, corn and potato
raising, calf raising, etc, and the coun-
ty and state fair associations are Civ
ing ample prizes to winners to show
that these things are all worth work
ing for.

Mile Laos Lake Level Proposition.


Rum River Outlet, Mile Laos Lake
June 81, 1920.
A party consisting of about 100 peo-
pie from different points on the lake
met at the outlet to discuss the. mat
ter of establishing water level in
Mile Laos lake. Crow Wing county
was represented by Commissioners
Edward Crust, ]. A. Erickson, Edw.
Bopple, John Diving and County En-
gineer C. L. Mott. Engineer A. w.
Leonard, who has charge Of the work
on the Scenic highway was also pres
ent. Fred and Charley Burman and
Fred Newman of Malmo, Aitkin coun-
ty, attended the meeting and urged
that the present stage of water be
maintained. H. F. Mann of Wahkon
and Oscar Anderson of Vineland gave
some valuable information as to the
benefits that would be derived from
the establishment of water level.
The delegates from Isle, headed by
John Carlson, Carl Anderson, Alfred
Johnson, C. G. Boeck, A. D. Smith and
r. C. Boeck all strongly favored the
present project.
The water going over the planking
at the outlet was measured by En-
gineers Mott and Leonard and it was
found that just two feet was running
out.
Engineer Leonard pointed out the
location Of the new bridge, and also
agreed to furnish the water board
with map of the outlet.
No overflow YVES reported at the
meeting, but it was decided that any
one having land around the lake or
near the lake that was overlooked on
June 81, 1920, report the same to E.
c. Boeck, Isle, giving him the legal
description of the land damaged or
overfowed, so it could be taken in con-
sideration at the next meeting of the
water board, which will be held at The
Aitkin county court house, Aitkin, at
the call Of the chairman.

Won der Weyer of St. Paul. A declara-
ton Of principles along sound Ameri-
can lines was adopted.
The conference was the outgrowth
of en- informal meeting in Rochester
some two weeks before. The dele
gates who attended the organization
conference in Minneapolis included
both republicans and democrats from
at least 60 counties.
Chairman Putnam introduced Harry
Curran Wilbur as the principal speak
er of the conference, announcing that
Mr.. Wilbur had spent more than seven
years in the investigation of radical
ism in various parts of the United
States from coast to coast and had
given particularly close attention to
the development Of the socialist non
partisan league regime in North Da-
kota.
With the aid Of chart which he pre-
pared step by step as he proceeded
with his address, Mr.. Wilbur graph
ically demonstrated the connecting
links between the various elements of
radicalism throughout the world, in
the United States and in the state of
North Dakota. Mr.. Wilbur made it
clear that the bolshevists of Russia
the radical labor groups throughout
the world, the I. w. WIS, the commun-
list party and the nonpartisan league
all are simply socialism as developed
from the philosophy of Karl Marx and
his followers.
Mr.. Wilbur said, "A famous patriot
has said Who saves his country saves
ALL I am on this platform today as
a plain American citizen, inspired with
a desire to do what l can to save my
country; to save it for real American.

port had been very pleasant and that
they were really flour brothers,.
Mrs. Katherine S. Westfall OF Chi
cago, followed MI. Coontz with a
fine talk on Missions, Near and Far
She emphasized the peace and har-
mony that prevailed at this conVen-
ton in comparison to the confusion
that was evident at the Northern
Baptist Convention in Buffalo. She
said she appreciated the harmony
that had characterized all of the ses-
sions.
Dr.. Hugh A. Heath of New York
was, the next speaker and gave a
splendid talk on "The State Conven-
ton, Its Work and its Relation to
the Northern Baptist Convention"
DR.. Heath declared that two things
have been accomplished in the past
II years which he wished to empha-
size. First, the organization of the
Northern Baptist Convention and
second, the Vermont Baptist State
Convention. Before the organization
of these two conventions, all socie-
ties carried out their respective pro-
grams but their purposes crossed in
much of their work and plans. AS
the State Convention is interested in
all missionary work of the state so
the Northern Baptist Convention is
interested in the work of the whole
Kingdom. The answer to his topic
is that the relation of the two could
be described as partnership.
mo matter from what angle you
look, it is a great undertaking, the
work before u.s., DR.. Heath continu-
ed, "and the greatest proposition we
have to solve is the fact that the
people have forgotten God.
Education and trainin0 is useless
unless the redemptive work of Christ
is applied and that redemptive task
is oul big problem. And this task
is not finished"
The interesting feature of the ev-
ening session was the singing by the
male quartet, which had been
drafted" and gotten into training
between the afternoon and evening
meetings. 1t consisted of Rev. J. T.
Sharman, 1st tenor; Rev. j. Allen
Spidell, End tenor; Rev. Mr.. Fisher,
1st bass and Rev. A. N. Pierce, End
bass. Three selections were render
ed. By special request the quartet
sang very beautifully "The Way
side Cross"
The first speaker of the evening
was DR.. E. M. Poteat of New York
who spoke on stewardship of Life,
Service ond Property" DR.. Poteat
gave very original presentation. He
read from the 18th chapter of the
Gospel of st. Luke beginning with
the 18th verse.
"You many not care so much what
| say myself" he said, "but peopl.
always care WI at the scriptures say.
We must carry all of our promotion
al activities Lack to their scripture
foundations,
Speaking about the covetousness
of man, Dr. Heath said:
"A silver dollar was not so blunt
but what it would split families up
into many divisions as there were
members in the family Did Won
ever hear anyone getting into
trouble over a will?

The report of the treasurer, Ho-
ward Crane of Burlington, was pre-
scented in printed form together with
that of the auditor, Arthur Maynard
OF Brattleboro and both were unani-
mously adopted Dr.. Davison's re-
port was also unanimously adopted.
An interesting address was deliv-
cred by Rev w. F. Sturtevant on
his work as director of the drive
among the churches in relation to the
new world movement.
The Wednesday afternoon service
was opened by Rev. B. j. Lehigh of
Barre, who conducted the devotional
exercises. He read his scripture pas
sage from "The Two on the Way to
Emmaus," and the point he emphasiz-
ed was that some churches have
not Jesus because they talk about
everything but Jesus.
The next thing on the program
was greetings from other organiza-
tons. Rev. Herbert T. Coontz, for
the Methodists, responded. The one
thing he wished to emphasize was
that the great necessity of our day
was emphasizing the fundamentals
of our common faith, rather than the
differences He declared his affilia-
tons with the other pastors in New
