Why the stampede for farm land

Why the stampede for farm land
in" Northern Minnesota
From the states of Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana, Nebraska, Wisconsin and
southern Minnesota, as we'll as from
North Dakota and Montana, come the
tidings that farmers have sold their
farms with view to taking up homes
in northern Minnesota.
Why? That's the question. 1t is
easily answered.
i Because:
y sl.--You can raise as much on an
acre of land in >Beltrami county as
you can in any county in the above
mentioned states. \
T. 2.-You can secure a quarter Sec
ton or more here for about one
eighth of what they are selling land
for in the above mentioned states.

schools, social centers and markets,
second to none in the northwest.

this wool could be pooled and sold
it is practically certain that the farm
ers would realize from 8 to Is cents

by marketing it alone"
Two methods Of selling have been
used successfully in Minnesota and
neighboring states. First, collection
of wool at convenient shipping point
and it's sale for cash on designated
day either by private bargain or a
public auction. Second, consignment
Of wool on commissions This plan
was used by many Minnesota counties
in. 1918 and by Iowa and Illinois in
1919 and usually results in a better
price for the seller.

THE RUSSIAN NOTE TO GREAT BRITAIN

HE Russian government is conscious of its great
 armies it's victorious drive against the Poles, and conscious of the difficulty under which the other governments of Europe because of working class sentiment if they should desire to actively to the aid of Poland
 Indeed the note asserts that Lloyd George, is moved to offer ah amstice in behalf of Poland by the pressure of the working class of the United Kingdom
 The supposition undoubtedly rests upon valid grounds The socialist propaganda has been widely ceived in the Allied countries whose worke far they socialists look with sympathetic mind toward what they regard working class government in Rus sia.
 The manner in which working class sentiment may express itself is we'll understood in this country By the pressure of ballots which may be cast in succeeding election by the suspension of work for the ducions of munitions and their transport and by other means, such as the general strike.
 It is doubtful if either Britain France could march armies into with the Sovets in the presence of sucI opposition.
 Lloyd George accepts the Russian note, which Mil lerand has termed mpertinent, and apparently will in struct the Polish to make overtues direct Russia.
 There is fair chance that peace will be made an6 that Europe settle down to and business whcl will be excellent thing for this country well fol the folks there.
