ligious groups, and among agricul-
ture, labor and capital. Clyde P.

Grant Electric
Line Extension

Short line extensions to provide
electricity to a substantial number
of farmers who have previously been
unable to obtain service connections
have been authorized through an
amendment governing utility opera
tions, officials of the War Produc-
ton board announced this week.
New lines heretofore have not been
available to persons living outside
critical housing areas except when
built as a part of a war housing pro-
ject The amendment removes the
restriction which limited utility con-
struction of this type except in crit
ical housing areas.
Changes in other orders made con-
currently with the amendment make
available for use by electric utilities
many types and sizes of wire which
were previously frozen. Steel wire
primaries are no longer required in
rural construction. In addition, con-
struction standards for all types of
utility construction have been al
tered to permit more extensive use
of now idle material of other kinds.

BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Soviet Russia, often far in ad-
vance of the rest of mankind, has
once more proved to be real pio-
neer, for the Moscow government
has begun criminal proceedings
against Nazi war criminals and their
Russian henchmen while the war is
still going on. Some of the revelations
coming out of the court room are so
horrifying that they are hard to be-
lieve, but the evidence seems to be
as overwhelming as convincing.
Under orders of high German
officers thousands of civilians in
Kharkov, Zhitomir, and other
Russian cities were shot, hanged,
or slowly tortured to death-for
the officially stated reason that
the Russians as an inferior"
people ought to be destroyed.
Confessions and all the hideous
details brought into pitiless daylight,
it will be much more difficult this
time than during the first world
war for the Germans to deny accu-
sations for atrocity. Formerly, there
were only hear-say, unsubstantiated
stories, many of them manufactured
for propaganda purposes. But this
time the Germans convict themselves
with their own words, although the
men on trial are careful to point out
that all orders came from one man,
Adolf Hitler. The fact that they, as
they claim, merely obeyed his or
ders, will, of course, not save them.
War in Russia.
Along the entire Russian front the
war against the Nazis goes on as
furiously as ever, but recently not
bringing about any very important

Fourth WarLoan
Drive Is Set; To

National Goal of Fourteen
Billion Dollars Set By
Treasury.

A national goal of 100000 900
has been set by the United States
Treasury department for the Fourth
War Loan drive which is being
launched nationally starting January
l8 and ending February Is. This
amount is one billion less than the
Third War Loan.
Over $4,000 volunteers are being
groomed for the big job of house.
toulouse and farm to farm solicita-
ton. Of the sum asked, $500, ,000, 900
will be raised directly from indi-
viduals and the balance from CORP
orations
State Share $500, 900, 900.
Minnesota's share in the drive is
5000, 100000. The sub-quotas are:
"E" bonds S64 100000, individual
purchases which include "E" bonds
$104, 900, 900, and corporate purchases
$96,000,0OO. For the first time indi-
viduals of Minnesota are being
asked to buy more than corporations.
While the overall state quota is
actually S16,O00,000 less than that of
the Third War Loan, the states in
dividual quota is up S8,000,000. The
job of raising this sum is considered
more difficult than any previous
drive because of the increased pur-
chases which must be made by in
dividuals. A more thorough house.
toulouse and farm-to-farm solicita-
ton must be made if the increase is
to be met. Throughout the drive pur-
chase of bonds by individuals will
be stressed, particularly "E" bonds,
the bond familiar in every American
household.
"E" Bonds Popular.
The ''E" bonds are the most pop
ular government bond. They yield
29 per cent if held for 10 years.
They are guaranteed to be redeem
able at full value any time go days
after purchase. Individual purchases
of "E" bonds cannot exceed S375O
per year.
'F" and &c" bonds are designed
for purchase by organizations, clubs
and other groups as well as individ-
uals. They can be bought to limit
of 100000 in one year. Series &c"
savings notes are for payment of
taxes, and in effect the government
receives its tax money ahead of
time.
In the Third War Loan, total pur-
chase of bonds in Minnesota was
$278, ,640,478, of which "E" bond pur-
chases were $64 ,583, 1923 and individ-
ual sales $1O2, 100000. Final national
figures showed the state ranked 18th
among the 48 states in percentage of
overall quota, and 5th in the sale
of "E" bonds.

Good for all pork items including

To Remain at Sandstone.

the office should remain at its pres
