RECORD ATTENDANCE
EXPECTED AT SCHOOL
Glass Room and Shop Capacity Will
BE Overtaxed-Twenty-five Still
to Find Rooms

The West Central School of Agri-
culture will open Monday, Jan. 5th.
The first day will be occupied with
the registration of the new students.
Practically all of the old students
were registered before they left for
the holiday vacation.
To the former enrolment of 172
will be added about 80 new students.
This will register the school to capa-
city as not more than $50 students
can be handled to advantage in the
class rooms, shops and laboratories.
Sixty-fve of these have already been
registered by mail, and about twice
this number are expected by the
registrar to make application on
Registration Day.
The problem of the school is no
longer how to get students, but what
to do with them when they come.
Rooms for about 25 students are still
needed for those who will be accept
ed by the school.

HUNTERS MUST REPORT
NUMBER BIRDS KILLED
Postal Card Blank Attached to Ii
cense-Failing to Report Means
No License Next Year

Hutchinson Leader.-An inquisi-
tive sort of person is Carlos Avery.
He wants to know how many wild
ducks every hunter in Minnesota
bagged during the 1919 season, and
is so anxious for details that he has
to be told whether they were teal,
mallards, canvas-backs,- blue-bill,
shoveler Or one of the other. 81 varie-
ties. The sanes applies to any Kind
of game that can be taken under state
licenses.
Mr.. Avery not only wants the in
formation but is in position to get ii
in his capacity as state game and fish
commissioner. Hunters who do not
give Mr.. Avery's Office the informa-
tion asked for, will not be issued
hunting. licenses next year. So saith
the law. -
The law provides that Every per
son to whom license to take birds ,ol
quadrupeds is issued shall, on or be-
fore 80 days after the expiration Of
his license, make a written report tt
the commissioner on a form prepared
and furnished by him, stating the
kind and number Of each bird ol
quadruped taken under such license
A licensee who wilfully fails or neg
lects to make such report shall not b.
granted a license to take birds Of
quadrupeds for one year thereafter
The form referred to in the Law
was part of the. license. In case Ii
cense holders have lost it they cal
get their license, number from the
county auditor and make an informa
report.

A Taste of War at Willmar

Willmar Republican GaZette.-Em-
ployees and some of the patrons Of
the bank Of Willmar thought the war
had broken out afresh yesterday af-
ternoon, and uncomfortably near
home at that. Some time ago Gov.
A. E. Rice received from his son, Col.
Cushman A. Rice, among other SOU
venirs of the late. unpleasantness,
German "Granatenwerfer" or gren-
ade thrower. It has been on exhibit
tion at the bank for quite awhile and
apparently seemed harmless sort Of
plaything. Many persons inter-
ested examined it and passed judg-
ment upon it's probable ability as
weapon of death and destruction.
Yesterday afternoon about one
thirty Ben Hedlund and Pete Meyers
were examining the instrument, NOV
ing the various levers, when blooie;
there was a terrific report and Mr..
Meyers felt something whiz by his
face. He was standing little to the
side and in front of the weapon. The
grenade struck the wall, tearing
hole in the solid brick, glanced off
and tore it's way. thru the steel cell
ing. 1t then fell to the desk used by
patrons of the bank, shattering the
glass plate. is
Those in the immediate vicinity Of
the thing are to be congratulated
that it did not strike them; those who
work in the bank and who were in
the building at the time are to be
congratulated that it was not the
grenade itself that exploded, orathere
would have been more than otone
Christmas far from merry, today. 81 In
some manner the fact that there was
cartridge in the machine slipped
by those who examined it when it
was sent to this country, and it was
not until yesterday afternoon that
the right combination" for dis
charging the weapon was hit upon.
The grenade itself was about three
inches in diameter, six inches in
length and had wings" If.sthere
are those who have doubted the in
genuity of the hun, and his deter
mination to work havoc in this
world, this little incident should go
a long way toward removing that
doubt"

INCOME TAX PAYERS
OF MORRIS VICINITY
Complete List Displayed at POstofice
of Those Who Made Returns
Last Year

Income tax paying is a pleasant
annual diversion nowadays, and as
the new tax year approaches every
body is developing renewed interest
in the subject. Those who made re-
turns last year from the city of
Morris and from the rural routes
that extend from this Office are given
below, with their addresses. Those
whose names fail to appear in it,
who sent in their annual statements
last winter, should at once notify
the collector of internal revenue at
St. Paul so that their names may be
added. Those who did not report
but should have done so-but this
is painful subject. If there are any
such, the government will doubtless
reach them in due time. The follow

IN MEMoRIAM

In sad, but loving remembrance of
our dear mother, ISABELLA Dyson,
who entered into rest two years ago to-
day, March 8, 1918.
We miss her and mourn her in silence
unseen,
And dwell on the memory of joys that
have been,
Unknown and forgotten by some she
may be,
But the grave that contains her is sa-
cred to me.
Lovingly and tenderly we laid her to
rest.
Away from earth's sorrows and care;
And now she is waiting to welcome us
home,
With the blessing of Heaven to share.
We often sit and think Of her,
When we are all alone;
For memory is the only friend
That grief can call its own.

Since the defeat of suffrage in Mary
land. changes are being planned in the
work of the Equal Suffrage League of
Maryland, which will include careful
study of methods to defeat the Demo-
cratic party in the next election. The
work has been to advocate suffrage in
Maryland, but since that bill has been
defeated, the work will have an en-
larged scope, and the Maryland Suf-
frage News, the official organ of the
suilragists, will be changed in the
near future, and there will also be
changes in the constitution. These
changes were discussed at an executive
meeting held yesterday afternoon at SIT
North Charles Street. Among the
things which the suffragists expect to
do is to look into the needs of the
Maryland schools, and also into the
conditions OF the public institutions,
such as the Jail and the House of Cor
rection. BALTIC. American, March 3.

shssp erowers % P00I Wool.

Az McDonough Institute Saturday
afternoon, the list ulto.. the Febru-
airy meeting OF the Charles County
5 lecp Growers A. ISOLATION was held.
An entertaining and interesting pro-
gram was rendered Miss NJ. Damn
sang two delightful songs In a delight
ful manner; Misses Neale Wills and
Mildred Townsend contributed a piano
duet and Miss Hazel Boggs amused
the audience with her recitation.
A three-reel moving picture hlm, fur
nished by the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, entitled -From Wool 10 Cloth,
was shown. This depicted the travels
of a bag OF wool from the time IL
reaches warehouse, through the va
riOus sortings, weighings and sam
plings; through the textile mills where
il is sorted and secured; washed and
carded, separated into different kinds
and these kinds ell united into vans;
over and through the many machines
whore it is dyed and finally woven and
comes forth into finished cloth. The
film proved highly instructive as we'll
as entertaining.
DIR f. b. Bomberger. Of the State
Extension Service, gave a brief, but
iorceiul address on The Benefits Of
cooperative Wool Marketing, and
said in part that for successful coop
Grafton two things were absolutely es-
sentiai. namely, the desire to cooper
ate and a volume of produce.
AT the conclusion OF the public meet
ing an executive session OF the Asso-
citation was held and Mr. Potts, of the
Bureau OF Animal Industry. dcmoni
stated the correct method OF docking
and castrating lambs.
Some twenty representative sheep
raisers voted to try the cooperative
method of marketing their wool this
year, and at the next meeting of the
Association TO be held March 70, with
the assistance of the Federal and State
Departments, plan will have been
worked out that will meet the local sit
ution.
For success it is necessary to have a
volume OF wool and il is suggested
that those who desire to Join this CO.
operative movement be present at that
meeting If unable to attend, write
the Secretary, County Agent Burdette,
signifying your willingness to join,
and also advising him about how many
sheep you will shear and how much
wool you will have 10 ship.
Remember that while this project can
be put across with those who have al
ready voted for it, greater success
and therefore greater possible saving
can be made by having larger mum
