In the course of his appeal to the citizens of the United States, the president quoted from the laws of the land, one of which was Section 4067 of the revised statutes as follows: ““Whenever there is declared a war between the United States and any foreign nation or government or any invasion or predatory incursion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, at- tempted or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government, and the President makes public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens or subjects of a hostile nation or government being male, of the age of 14 years and upwards who shall be within the United States and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured and removed as alien enemies. “ ‘The President is authorized in any such event by his proc- lamation thereof or other public acts, to direct the conduct to be observed on the part of the United States toward the aliens who become so liable; the manner and degrees of restraint to which they shall be subject and in what cases and upon what security their residence shall be permitted, and to provide for the removal of those who not being permitted to reside within the United States refuse or neglect to depart therefrom; and to establish any such regulations which are foun¢ necessary in the premises and for the public safety.’” BAUDETTE WANTS COUNTY DIVISION In order to come from Bemidji IN A HURRY the other day, Sheriff Andy Johnson took a train for Grand Rapids in Itasca county, then over to Virginia in Itasca county, then to Ranier in Koochiching county, then forty miles through Canada before he reached Baudette.

Vegetables ordinarily make up about one-third of the diet of the average individual and’ contribute more to his good lealth than any other one class of food. Why not raise these at home instead of paying the groceryman, fancy prices or going without? The drain on the family pocketbook may be materially lessened by the gardening operations Wherever the seed is purchased its germinative power should Le tested In order to avoid possible disappointinent and failure later in the scason. Stable manure is the best kind of fertilizer for gardening, and a liberal amount should always be applied be- fore spading or plowing. It adds plant food and bumus to the soil. both ‘of which are highly beneficial to plant growth. It is best to thoroughly pulverize the soil and make a deep seed bed in tke beginning. Then after the plants are established cuitivate frequently and regularly, but to no great depth. His Little Task. “Very suspicious man, they say.” “Very.

Here's What's Happening Already : (Real News Items) = C. F. Mahnke, editor of the Moose Lake Star Gazette, bought two lots in Wa Ville, near the Pioneer Cottage and intends to bring his friends here to help produce fish, fruit-and comfort on his garden ranch. A. L. Carlson of Lemon, S. D., bought a half mile of lake frontage on Idle Wilde Lake on the new county road a fourth mile east of Adolph Kline’s Moval Lake farm. The Carlsons are here and expect to improve the place at once, bringing more of their friends along. Mr. Carlson’s specialty will be high grade cream and potatoes. Coleman Love of Turtle River, formerly of Crookston, who purchased an 80 acre farmstead on Fox Lake last fall, came in today and signed up a contract as a volunteer in Giles’ land clearing and crop army. A. P. Reeves and Mr. Fisk applied for contracts by mail. Andy McMullen of Madelia, Minn., came up the first of the week and has a crew of men busy clearing his 160 acres Bass Lake farmstead. Andy says he will do his duty here, or at the front. ! J. L. Dean, J. Ebben and F.

He is preparing a tabular statement which will be inserted in the book which will be off the press in June. This ~ book will contain over 100 pages of maps, tables, cuts of scenery, and reading matter. Replies to Mr. Koll's request started to come in within twenty-four hours after he sent them and he is much pleased at the ready responses. Mr. Koll re- ceived one ietter from Donaldson, Minnesota, (if you do mnot Kknow where that is you will know when you have read the letter) which he thinks is too good to keep till the book comes off the press, so he has . handed it to us for publication. It follows: Donaldson, Minn.,’ March 27, 1917. Dere Friend— Yure letter came today but pa aint home so I opened it becaus it was not ceiled. I don’t know if pa is village clerk but I have looked at the gestions and I can anser them all so I gess I will do it an not keep you waiting. I know how becaus it is just like the examinashuns we have ~at school. 1. Our town is named Donaldson. I think it is a purdy name but not very many people can spell it. 2. Population is 150 encluding woman and children. 3.- It is Kittson county. Some peeple say Kitchen county but that is not right. —. 4. There are two hotels here in town. One is painted yellow. The other one has not got much paint around here, exept a gas mine, I al- most forgot. Mr. Hesse was drilling a well an he struck gas. It come out of the hole an made an awful noise an it thru up dirt. He closed it up on account of the dirt but I think he might open it again if he new it would help the seenery. 6. The principal industries are farming In the summertime and go- ing to the woods in the winter time. 7.. We havent got anny lakes nere here. We have only got a big pond here in town where they can water there horses. 8. You couldn’t catch many fishes here in town. But their is one fish in the pond. I know it because we put him there. It was once a fish pedlar came to town and we bouhgt some fish an one was a little bit alive so we put him in our roaster. It was a bullhead. We dident like to kill him then so we took him and put him in the pond. He must be their yet for he couldnt get out on acount of the ate foot fense all around it to :(eep the small children from falling n. 9. There is a Garage here but it has been sold this winter. I think they are going to make it bigger on acount of the Scenic Highway. 10. We have got 2 churches here in town.

Miles of Laporte and a friend joined the colors Wed- nesday by securing an extra 80 acre tract at Kabekona lake for potato and clover culture. Raymond Hayden of Florence, S. D., bought the Moval Lake eighty acre farmstead today, and is one of the many farm factory volunteers in Gile’s army to make war on the high cost of living by growing potatoes. Edward Luadtke, Jr., joined Gile’s army yesterday by purchasing a forty acre potato farmstead in Grant Valley and will start improvements at once. Paul Haluptzok, who lives near Spur postoffice, is willing to join the army of crop producers and wants to rent 50 acres of land in that vicinity and get his friends to join in potato rais- ing. He has the proper spirit. Get busy, fall in line. This record we feel is very encouraging for the first seven days since we issued the call for 1000 volunteers in B. M. Gile’s army. CAPT. J.
