Land Here Sells For
$3.50 Per Acre

At last Marshall county real estate
has reached selling figure which is
nearly equal to its actual worth when
compared with the selling prices of land
in Iowa and Illinois. Last week Chas
Franks, -of this city. sold tract OF
land to W.. Z. Glow, of Humboldt
Mimi, at a price OF 1888 per acre. The
landf involved in the transaction con
sists of three acres, adjoining the city
on the east, the purchase price of which
was $1,000.
There are no buildings on the pro
perty, but Mr.. Glow intends to erect a
residence this spring and will move
here as soon as he has disposed of his
interests at Humboldt.
While this may be an unusual case. we
predict that it will be but a few years
until the average price at which land
will be sold for, in the county will be
over $500. The productive value of
Marshall county land is fully as great
il not greater, than that of Illinois or
Iowa. and when rything is consider
ed our lands are being sold at ridicu-
lousy low prices

Thief River Falls
Defeats Local Five.


About eighty Of Warren's basketball
enthusiasts accompanied the local high
school five to Thief River Falls last
wednesday evening to see the two
teams battle for second place in the
district championship, Stephen holding
first place.
The Warren boys were somewhat lost
on the large floor for some time and
before they knew it Thief River Falls
had gained comfortable lead Warren
began some real basket ball playin and
were Tor a time running neck and neck
with their opponents The first half
ended Thief River Falls q, Warren Is.
On returning in the second half the
locals were again lost for a time. Dur
ing the last quarter the Warren boys
had everything for themselves but could
not overcome the lead of Thief River
Falls. The locals played in hard luck
during the entire game and If portion
OF the baskets they missed had been
made, would have easily won the game.
The game ended, Thief River Falls SO.
Warren %.
Thief River Falls will meet Warren
at the high school gym on Saturday
evening at p. m. The locals can be
depended upon to put up the best game
OF the season A preliminary game will
be held before the big contest between
Thief River Falls 9Th grade and War
| rem 8th grade.
Thief River Falls is coming to War
| rem on a special train and will carry
about 200 r0oters who will give their
team good support. In order that War
rem is not out-yeIled a good crowd must
be present to give the boys the support
they deserve. This will be the biggest
game Of the season and most likely the
last game played on the local floor.
! The Stephen high school boys passed
through this city on their way home
4 from Thief River Falls where the two
tquints had contest last evening. The
/ Stephen boys are the district champions
/ but we're badly beaten by Thief River
Falls, the score being 56 to 6.

Home Canning Just AS
Necessary AS Ever

Home. canning-of utmost im-
portance during the war-will be
just as important this year, accord
ing to present indications as they
are viewed by the United States
Department of Agriculture. The
shortage of labor on the farms
makes it necessary for the can
neries to pay high prices for the
commodities that will be canned
later in the season. Labor in the
canning factories is expensive and
difficult to obtain. Everything,
from cans to carriage costs, has in
creased in price, and transporta-
tion is slow and more expensive
than in war times. All this in
crease must be paid by the ulti-
mate consumer; and there is not
even assurance that there will be
enough canned products to go
around. The solution is home can
ming.
That sugar is higher in price
than it has been hitherto is cad
vanced by some as a reason for
canning either less fruit or nothing
but vegetables; but unless one in
tends to give up sweets altogether
there seems no good reason for not
using canned fruit on account Of
high-priced sugar. There are few
desserts that do not take from one
half to one cup of sugar, and no
dessert is more healthful than
fruit. 1t is not necessary to use
such thick syrup as was used in the
days of plenty. A 10 per cent
syrup made of | part sugar and 9
parts water will make palatable
any of the acid fruits. Such fruits
as apples, pineapples, and the like
can be canned without sugar. In
fact, ordinary glucose or corn
syrup may be substituted for sugar
in making the syrup. A palatable
syrup is made by mixing 70 cup
sugar, l cup glucose, and 8 cups of
water.
1t requires about 7 ounces OF
sugar for a pint jar. One cup OF
sugar will make 10 cups of syrup
i A pound Of sugar will make &c
cups. This last amount will be
sufficient for 20 pints of canned
fruit. Where the 10 per cent syrup
| is used the cost of the sugar to car
pint jar is 11a cents with sugar
at 80 cents pound. 1t is not Sc
expensive after all.
