THE VETERANSVILLE FARM ,..
PROJECT ATTRACTS ATTENTION


The success of the farm settlement
at Veteransville, Minnesota, is attract
ing favorable attention far beyond the
borders of District No. 10 Of the us.
Veterans Bureau. t sE3.s sf4-s !.
The fact that a group of Agriclll-
tural Trainees of the Veterans Bureau
had the courage to "diye off the Dock
and become farm proprietors instead
of farm employees is characteristic OF
the ex-service man. They prefer toll
with ownership and independence, to
mere employment. They are giving a
fresh demonstration Of the old Yankee
independence that, developed this coun-
try. nj. ": 81.
The making ola settlement, on I'M
cleared land, composed wholly of dis:
abled veterans, managed and financed
by themselves is, to say the least,
unique in the history of soldier re-
Mobilization. Recently an inquiry was
received from The Department Of Con
servation and Development Of the
State Of New Jersey as to the plans
and methods employed in making this
settlement In order that they might be
used in making a similar settlement
in the State of New Jersey.

HOLDS MEETING
Officers are Reelected and Interesting
Report of Years Work
Submitted

At meeting of the Warren Public
Library Association held last week.
Mrs. A. L. Robinson, Mr.. G. Holm
quist and Mrs. w. O. Braggans were
reelected to act as President, Vice
President and Secretary respectively
for the ensuing year. Mrs. r. B. Tar
alseth, Mrs. Chas. A. Tullar, and Mr..
J.. r. 'Naeseth, whose one year terms

pred, were reelected by the City
Council to serve for another year.
The report of the Warren Public
Library submitted shows that 1862
books have been read the past year
and that 161 cards were issued. The
appreciation shown by the public is
very gratifying to the Board.
The Board hopes that the demand
for non-fction books will increase, and
invites the public to look over those
now on the shelves. Attention is call
ed to the books available for the use
of business men, also to the fine line
of magazines and periodicals. So.
The gift of $500 from the Presby-
terrain Ladies Aid fund, was received
with the greatest satisfaction. This
money invested in books will be a
memorial to the work done by these
women in years past. s :
The Board asks the cooperation of
MI readers in caring for the books
while in use.
In correspondence with the Carnegie
Foundation, the Library Board were
informed that there were no available
funds at the present time for building
libraries and that it was not certain
when there would be. The Library
Board had strong hopes Of soon hav-
ing better place to house the growing

WEATHER
FOR THRESHlNG

The clear, dry weather we are hav-
ing is certainly a boon to the Red
River Valley farmer this year. Thresh-
ing is proceeding nicely and by the.
end Of next week, IL the weather re-
mains as II is, will be finished, prac
.tically, In this locality. Farther north,
however, very: little threshing has been
done as vet In some localities and.
may last two or three weeks longer.
Owing to scarcity OF help at harvest
time much grain was left in the fields
unshocked. Had the weather been
wet the bundles thus left on the
ground would have been damaged but
that IS not the case this year. Bundles
picked up from the field and hauled
to the machine are just as dry as
those standing in shocks. The quality
Of the wheat e uni ormly good grad

at that there Is very little in the

any hope Of better prices II the near

Carl Lindgren and A. A. Ecklund were
the first to respond. They report that
the trip was thrilling due to the high
wind during the day. They made the
trip in one hour and five minutes.

Is new ERA in FLYING
ABOUT TO BEGIN?
Aviation Authorities Intensely Inter
ested in MOtorless
Planes

The. world of aviation is all agog
over the latest news from Germany,
where it appears that German
aeronaut has succeeded in remaining
in the air more than two hours, in a
motorless plane, using only air cur
rents, and not riding them without
control of direction, but crossing ana
recrossing his starting point at various
elevations above it and returning to
his starting place when the time was
up. 80 80. = -, =
Almost unbelievable to those whose
only idea Of a flying machine is
whirling propeller and a heavy engine,
it is pointed out that here the Ger
man aeronaut has only done for a
short space Of time what the albatross
does for weeks, and has but initiated
all those birds of great wing spread
which soar, circle, rise and fall with
out any movement of their wings save
slight Textures for balancing purposes.
1t has long been known that the
power of the air currents was amply
sufficient to support a weight greater
than It's bulk of air, even in a man
made bird 9Lilienthal, the German
father of gliding, demonstrated that
years before he lost his life. But until
recently it was supposed that direction
controlled flight could not be, obtained
by man without source of power in
dependent of the supporting air. Now
these German trials and tests seem to
demonstrate that the art Of the birds
is not beyond the power of man to
master, and at least to make it posi-
bic, if not probable, that the age of
flight is not to be continuation of
planes, but story OF
bird-like structures which take their
power from the air which supports
them - s. sz .-eGz

AUTO POLO AND RACES
DRAW LARGE CROWDS
Local American Legion Post Enter
tainment Proves to Be
Interesting

Last Sunday the Flying Circus, Auto
Races and Polo, which was put on by
the local American Legion Post, drew
large crowds to Warren. Automo-
biles came from all parts of the dis
trict to witness the entertainment. The
auto polo cars were driven by Tex
Dodge Of the Texas polo club, and
the other by Wild Bill Kribbs, of, the
MinnesOta-Dakota club. Herbert Pear
son, Of this city, was mallet man for
Dodge and Nicholson, of Argyle, acted
in the same position for Kribbs The
game was very interesting, several
wheels being broken and tires worn
out. Tex Dodge won the game by one
set. George Henning acted as me-
chanic for the cars, having to fix them
up sevreal times during the game.
The next number was the flying cir
Gus by Lieut.. VI. Roberts. Some of
the neatest loop-the-loops and nose
dives this town has ever seen were
shown by him. The parachute drops
by the merchandise, monkey and dunn
mic all drew attention. The Warren
Juvenile band furnished music for the
occasion in their usual high class man
ner, +

COAL SITUATION - az 7ss. :.

With cold weather coming on soon
and very little coal in town and very
little at the docks or in sight, the
people here as well as all over the
Northwest are facing a serious situa-
ton. The city light plant has coal on
hand to run only about ten days. It
has a standing order for 20 cars, a
Acton car to be shipped every Is days,
but thus far the coal company is two
car loads behind in shipping. AS coal
prices have been squeezed up the
company is not. very anxious to ship
coal at the lower prices. it had con-
tracted to deliver: The hospital and
the schools have no coal on hand and
prices have increased one-third or
more since early in the summer. Only
one small car Of hard nut coal has
been received in Warren this summer,
and we are told that it very likely
will be impossible to procure hard coal
of any kind or at any price for the
coming winter. If that will be the
case, those who have hard coal heat
sers will be at a great disadvantage.
The anthracite miners and operators
have not yet come to an agreement,
it seems Even if anthracite mining
be resumed now it will be impossible
to supply the entire country all at
once. Dealers here tell us that so
far they have had little trouble to
procure smokeless and briquettes, and
as long as that supply holds out we
need not suffer. It is. to be hoped
that operators and miners may come
to their senses soon and get out the
coal. What consumers object to- most
strenuously, however, is the unjust
and excessive increase in price in the
face Of the public need. i

ROADS SHORTEN
DISTANCE TO MARKET
Many Minnesota Farmers Finding Buy
e: ers for Produce Pass their
Gates Every Day

Increase in farm gate market stands
as better roads are extended in Mime
sofa is noted in the current issue Of
the state highway bulletin. Also, it
adds, shortening the road to market
is one of the big services the better
highway program is performing. In
scores Of places it already has brought
producer and consumer closer together,
to their mutual advantage. Automo-
biles and better roads are building up
farm gate markets, moving country
stores to town and the city market to
the farmers home. - r.
Roadside markets are fast becoming
common in many parts Of Minnesota,
and those along the paved highways
are regarded as a permanent addition
to general marketing facilities. Fresh
vegetables, ripe fruits, eggs and poul-
try are some of the articles most fire.
quently offered for sale, but many
other things are to be had as the au-
tomobile party drives along. Chicken
dinners, light lunches and soft drinks
are found in another much exploited
field. .sss ~ - ~. T.
Farmers maintaining roadside mar
kets find that products sold direct to
consumers without the Intervention Of
middlemen yield much more satisfac-
tory returns. City residents, out on
business or pleasure, are glad to buy
produce they know is fresh and good
Many plan their trips into the country
to buy food supplies fresh from the
farm, and many are coming to know
the advantages from the practice. y
