Recent Organization Strives to
Secure Cooperation of New
Membership.
TO TAKE UP FIGHT NEXT
LEGISLATIVE MEETING
Purpose to Secure Better Hunt
ing and Fishing Grounds
for the 95%c Class.

The conditions for campers, fisher
man and hunters of Minnesota are
getting more and more aggravated
each year. In fact it is getting so
the average person, meaning the 95
per cent class, have no place where
they can camp when out on an auto
trip. The so called tourist camps be-
ing more or less of joke as a rule.
(a.) This same argument applies
to fishing and hunting as well. 1t is
getting to the point where the aver
age person must either put up an
unreasonable amount for accomoda-
tions or else forego the pleasures OF
camping. fishing and hunting.
(b.) At the present time about all
the average hunter gets for his iic-
ense money is the privilege of hunt
ing for a place where he can hunt.
(c.) Is this fair? Why should
the State provide places where the
average man can camp, fish and hunt
at reasonable price, the same as
other states here provided, namely
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Louisiana, etc.
Cd The one answer to all this
is organization of the 95 per cent
class of campers, fishermen and hunt
ers. In organization ther is strength
and this strength properly applied
at the next session of our State Leg
islature will get the desired results.
(e.) Remember, what is worth
having, is worth lighting for. So let's
organize and go after what we are
entitled to, at the next session of our
State Legislature.
f.) Join our Association, The
Gopher Club, which stands for a
square deal for the average man who
camps, fishes and hunts.
(g.) We need your help, you need
ours. Our dues are only one dollar
per year. Won't you help us and
help yourself?
(h.) Remember you may miss the
dollar now, but you will miss the
game and fishes when they are gone
a whole lot more and you will also
miss the privileges of Public camp
ing, fishing and hunting place, which
you are entitled to.
a. Lets all get together and
work through our next State Legisla-
ture for Public Recreational Grounds,
which will provide Public camping,
fishing and hunting grounds. The
officers of our association are Pres,
Grant Bush, 622 Rondo street; Vice
Pres, S. b. Douglas, SAT w. Central

SECRE1l4RY WEEKS DENIES CHARGE
Fired Nurses to
Be Transferred

Washington, ID. C.--EyeIyn d.
Robinson, Della Woode. and Zelda H.
Peck, the three nurses of the vete-
rams Hospital, Tuskegee Institute,
Ala, summarily suspended by Col.
Stanley, since transferred from the
hospital to New Mexico, have been
vindicated.
Investigation by the Veterans
Bureau disclosed that Col. Stanley
had no Just cause for the suspension,
and therefore these nureses have
been ordered by the Government to
return to Tuskegee.
Friends of the nurses, who have
been interested in having the cases
adjusted fairly, are now urging the
government to pay the back salaries
of the nurses for the time of suspen-
sion, and for the extra expense they
have been placed to by returning to
their homes.
Col. Stanley's suspension order
came on the day the salary checks
arrived. and the nurses were given
only twenty-four hours to leave the
government reservation. In addition
to the time lost in suspension, there
are at least four days salary due
for actual service rendered.
The suspension of these nurses
was the climax of the bitter opposi-
tion of few white politicians of the
section and the Ku Klux, to intimi-
date.

Boston, Mass. Nov. 3.-In a per-
sonal letter to William Monroe Trot-
ter of this city, John w. Weeks, sec
retary OF war and former senator
from this state, refutes the allega-
ton that he acted out of revenge
when he recommended the appoint
ment of c. Bascom Slemp of vh-
ginia, a nationally known lilly

Coolidge. Mr.. Weeks letter came
after publication in the Chicago De-
fender of an article accusing him of
giving the President bad advice" be-
cause of his defeat at the hands of
voters of our race when he sought re-
election to the United States senate.
In refutation to this accusation, Mr..
Weeks says as follows:
Outlines Position.
"The article which you attach to
your letter of recent date has not
even the semblance of truth as a
foundation. / have no prejudice
against your race, as I have demon
strated many times. do not charge
against them the fact that was de-
feated for reelection to the United
States senate because I never had
responsibility as renger, in the adj

the case, would have good deal of
contempt for myself If thought 1t
would affect my actions as secretary
of war.

other parts of the article are with

Following the dinner dancing was
in order to the strains of Moore's

Those not desirous of dancing
were given the option of playing
whist. The success of the several
Style Shows given in the Mill City
has been largely due to the untiring
efforts of Mrs. Moore and the as
sistance given by the Askin and
Marine Company in supplying the
necessary wardrobe. So unique have
the displays been. especially the last
one, that several Of the larger stores
are not asking for the privilege Of

MAKING GOOD
PROGRESS NOW

Taking into consideration the i'm
mense grist of bills poured into the
senate hopper during the last two
days for their introduction the up
per house of the state Legislature is
making excellent progress in clean
ing them up in the opinion of Lieu
tenant Governor Frank Hyland.
Mr.. Hyland points out that up to
last Saturday night total of 335
bills had been introduced in the SEN
ate. OF these 1874 had been definitely
disposed Of, either passed or killed
and committee reports were avail
able on eight more. There still re-
manner 1872 bills before committees
on which no report had as yet been
made.
The committe which has the larg.
est number of bills still to be re-
ported on is that of state affairs IN
which 80 measures are still pendin.c
while the committee on judiciary
comes second with the total of q
There are % bills still pending be
fore the committee on taxes and taH
laws.
The committees have been to some
extent handicapped in their work By
delays in the printing of the bill:
which has made it impossible to ge'

ant measures now pending.

AT TIE MOVIES
CAPITOL THEATRE

Aristocratic blood is pretty likely
to be hot blood. And hot blood is
frequently as apparent in son as
in the father.
A clever Characterization of y
Kentucky mint Julep Colonel and his
"chip- off -old-block" son may be
seen in "The Kentucky Derby" the
Universal-Jewcl all star feature
showing at the Capitol theatre.
But bigger than that from the
standpoint of popular interest is the
staging of mammoth scenes in Ken
lucky, the home of the Derby. The
actual Derby classic was filmed for
the major scenes in the story. The
entire Universal unit under King
Baggot's direction went to Louisville
and Lexington, where estates of the
famous Kentcuky racing world were
turned over to the film unit for use
in the picture.
King Bagot directed "The Ken
lucky Derby" from George Hull's
adaptation of story by Charles T.
Darcy, seen several years 40 upon the
stage as "The Suburban." one of the
most successful melodramas of all
time.

MITCHELL
FIGHT CASE
Man Charged with Selling
Fake Stock Files Demurrer

Fargo, Feb. 13.-Demurrers to each
count in the indictment against H. D.
Mitchell, Of Oklahoma City, charging
him with using the mails to defraud
farmers Of the Devils Lake region,
were filed with United States District
Judge Andrew Miller, when M. A.
Hildreth, district attorney, moved his
case for trial.
Aubrey Lawrence of counsel for
the defendant filed general de-
murrer to- the entire indictment and
a specific demurrer for each of the
six counts.
The demurrers are alike in de-
claring that 1.-The complaint does not
charge nor state facts sufficient to
charge the defendant with any pub
lie ofcnse against the United States
or with the violation of any law of
the United States and does not SUI
1icently inform the defendant Of the
nature Of the charge against him to
enable him to prepare his defense
thereto or to plead conviction or
acquittal thereof as bar for d
further prosecution therefor"
The demurrers also declare that
"the indictment does not charge the
defendant with any public offense
committed or triable within the dis;
trict of North Dakota, that the facts
stated in said indictment do not con-
stitute public offense against the
laws of the United"
In arguments in chambers, Mr..
Lawrence declared that only two Of
the four allegations are negatived in
the Indictment. The charges are:
that Mitchell, in selling stock te
farmers in Ramsey county and else
where in that. section, represented
himself as the owner of a certain
tract of land in Oklahoma, that the
land was oil bearing and that certain
prommissory notes given for STOCK
would be paid out Of the dividends Il

HOME GARDEN
The Why and Where of
Gardening

Few are so favored Of fortune that
they have the ideal soil or situation
for a garden. BNt such talk is no
particular cause for worry. If the
soil is not clear sand or gravel, and
is not located in deep, impenetrable
shale it can be made to grow and
yield crop of vegetables.
The one absolute essential is sun.
A vegetable garden to be a success
must have sun for at least part of
the day. There are a few vegetables
which will survive shade, but none
flourishes as vigorously or crops as
reliably as in the Sun.
Also, it is not necessary to worry
over securing supply of barnyard
manure, which is becoming more and
more matter of difficulty and ex-
pense, unless the soil is very ligh,
and sandy. In the ordinary run of
soil, a very successful vegetable gar
den may be grown with the use of
commercial fertilizers easily procur
able Of any seed dealer.
There will always be a supply "
autumn leaves, grass clippings, and
dried weeds to be had, and these
may be utilized for the most valu
able function of barnyard manure
supplying humus to the soil. Up-to
date gardeners are making more and
more use of these materials and s.
called "green manures" to replace
the decreasing supply of animal ma
nures-and with excellent results
"Gren manure" is crop of clover
or some other leguminous plant
plowed under to improve the soil.
If you have n patch land which
is sunny for most of the day, do not
hesitate to start your garden. 1t will
be a good investment, provide health
full exercise, and furnish new inter
est.
The home garden offers the only
means hv which some of our favorte
vegetables can be placed at their best
on your table.
Sweet corn is striking example.
within half an hour after an ear
picked the loss of sugar content be-
gins, through chemical action. The
better varieties of sweet corn contain
from per cent up of sugar, which
gives them their delicious flavor.
Only the home gardener, who learns
to tell when the corn has arrived a
that stage of development which is
t."just right and who picks it at that
stage, cooks it briefly in boiling
water-again "just right" and sinks
his teeth into its well-buttered ten
derness half an hour after it has
left the stalk-only he knows what
SWEET corn really is. Others may think
they know, but for all who have not
experienced the treat described, there
is Joy remaining which they should
not miss before they die.
Resolve to know it this year, and
plan your garden now.
