h % \ * school. FRIDAY. MAY 18. 1917 ¥¥¢¥¥ii{fli4¥4#: * A w**;;*ifl«;«#;a The program and exhibit was a decided success. The day was fine “ and the crowd large. The school ex- nwibit was surprisingly complete, every line of work being represent_edA The manual training and sewing displays were upstairs, while the teachers in the lower grades ar- ranged their work tastily in their own rooms, called rgspectively the “Butterfly room” and‘the Red, White and Blue” room. Mr. Swain was present - as Consolidated school com- missioner, and a great many ques- tions were settled by him, at the re- quest of interested patrons of the Y Mr. Swain ruled that the district must own their own busses next year and furnish fuel for heat- ing the same, also that a new route must be established to accommodate pils living in the northeastern rt of the district. The route to be used was selected by those inter- "« .ested, and all were satisfied with « the improved transporting facilities in sight. Mr. Swain also ruled that the longest trip should be made in at least 90 minutes or at the rate of a mile in 15 minutes. A ball game between Saum and Foy resulted in a victory for Saum. The May pole dance was very pretty and the address by the State inspect- or was an inspiration to those who heard it. On Friday, May 11, the Saum and the Foy girls played the first game of the season for the girls team, with a score decidedly in favor of Saum. Another game will be played on Friday, June 1, the last day of school. It is expected that the Saum boys will play with Kelliher also on that day. School will close on Friday, June 1 with a short program. A lunch will be served by the Saum Ladies’ Aid after the program and ball game. ‘On Saturday night, the high school will give a play, entitled “Engaged by Wednesday”. The cast of char- acters is as follows: Martin Henry, the laziest man in town. Reuben Carlson. Arthur Watson, to be ‘Walter Johnson. Jack, a friend of Arthur, Arthur Kroogseng.

This is one of the “back to the farm” plays, where the farm boy and v the farm girl have not forgotten the early days at home. fl{##iik{li*ii#: * RESPONDENCE "**‘CQB**P“O***“** Mr. and Mrs. Frank Patterson and daughter, Arvilla, and Frank Guis- ness spent Sunday at the Bowers home. George Brennan returned to his home Saturday from Nebish where he has been working. Mr. and Mrs. Barney Gibney spent Sunday with the latter’s mother, Mrs. Lars Emberland.

A bunch of young men of this town went fishing Saturday night and caught a lot of suckers. I E e R E R R R R * SMITHPORT * o H KK KKK KKK KX The residents’ appeal for increased farm produce is being responded to in a very vigorous manner here. In previous years very little effort had been made to raise crops, but now most of the settlers are doing their level best. Wilhelm Kues has in about five acres of oats, an acre of potatoes and a fine large garden; he also has six acres sown to alsike. Mr. Kues is one of our best hustlers and altho a German, is heart and soul with America. In answer to a question concerning the Kaiser, he said,” T* hell mit de Kaiser and all dat fight, I belong to de Unided Shtates now, undt if I fight, it will be for Uncle Sam.” We have other Germans not so patriotic, however. BE. B. Jones is breaking a lot of new land, as is Mr. S. Castile, W. L. Jennings and Albert Smith. Our greatest drawback is want of seed. Seed houses are so slow in filling orders that a great many articles will have to be left out. What we need worst of all in this neighborhood is a store. Waskish is so far away that it takes too much time from our spring work to go there often, and the little the store at Anderson kept, is long since sold out. A good country store here would be a paying business. The high cost of living is getting in some deadly blows here and if it keeps up we will have to violate the game laws. The scarcity of ducks and geese this spring seems to indi- cate that they helped to solve the H. C. L, in the south during the ‘winter. e e e e e e e e e e e e e i et s i et S s i = 6 i i 0 0 W R 0 S HE KKK KKK KKK KK * NORTHERN * KKK KK KKK KKK KX (Too late last week) Mr. and Mrs. Albert Worth of Bemidji have moved into our mids for the summer. - Miss Nellie Wilson of Bemidji was the guest of relatives and friends in this place the first of the week.

NO. 31 Bemidji, Minn., May 10 Issued Weekly Gan We Flooe the Potato Market? It is no longer the question of feeding 102,000,000 people. It has become the question of feeding, and helping to feed, 231,000,000 people. Moreover, we .shall be called upon at the cessation of hostilities to pro- vide some food for all the peoples of Europe. At this writing there .is raging around the work of putting in the 1917 potato crop a fierce con- troversy over the subject of acreage. The real experts of conditions, the arm chair experts and the ‘‘inter- ested” business men are engaged in this battle. Already it is being in- sinuated, or suggested, there will be a considerable increase in the potato acreage this year; that the produc- tion of potatoes is likely to reach 500,000,000 bushels; (Germany alone has produced as high as 1,- 579,000,000 bushels in one year and has made good use of them). DO THE MEN ABOVE REFERRED TO REALIZE THAT 500,000,000 BUSH- ELS ARE ONLY A DROP IN THE BUCKET. 1t is not too late now— it won’t be too late in twenty or #%| thirty days—to greatly increase the acreage of potatoes planted in the principal potato growing districts of the United States in 1917. Evinrude Motors Just think of the pleasure and satisfaction you can get out of an Evinrude. You can go up the shal- lowest streams or on the deep waters and are assured that you will get there, without breaking your back on a pair of oars. They are also convenient to carry from place to place. See the Evinrude in our dis- play window. One-cylinder two H. P. Evinrude—$90.00.

Minnesota Paint goes farther and you will save money in calling in and letting us figure with you on that paint job. Potato Machinery Mr. Farmer: Have you ever watched the HOOVER one-man Po- tato Planter work? If not and you are in the market for a potato plant- er, it will be to your advantage to see this machine, which.has proven to he from 97 to 100 per cent ac- curate. This is not hearsay, but has been proven from actual experi- ence, and we have a number of own- ers who we would like to have you talk to before you purchase a ma- chine. When you are putting $70.00 into a potato planter that requires two men to handle, remember that in getting a planter you are trying to get away from hired help and that is the point that we offer you in the HOOVER. Mr. Skrivseth of Turtle River pur- chased a Hoover planter two weeks ago, and Saturday he was in and stated that he had planted fourteen acres of potatoes, that he had figured same up and that he had an abso- lute saving of $20.00 on h.s own patch without figuring what he will receive in planting for other parties. Just think of an investment of $85.00 paying a yearly dividend on his own crop of 231, per cent. Who wouldn’t buy a Hoover? Frank Pierson, on the edge of town, took out a Hoover Saturday morning. Frank is a hustler when it comes to clearing up his farm and in getting up-to-date machinery. He claims his planter is ABSOLUTELY accurate and that he is there to show anyone who doubts it, as he had a man follow it and he knows what he is talking about. He also says that with his planter and a sprayer and digger he can raise 10 acres easier than he could three-fourths of an acre the old way. Call in and inspect the Hoover Planter, Sprayer and Digger. It will pay you to place your order early for that Digger you are going to need this fall. Ask your neighbor about the Hoover Digger. Fishing Tackle Oh, gee, did you see that big one that got away on me; broke my line on me? No, you won't have to say that, and will also have the satis- faction of landing your fish if you buy your fishing tackle here. We have been very particular indeed in our selection of tackle and can as- sure you that you will get tackle here that you will appreciate. Our stock of Lines, Hooks, Gaffs, Poles, etc., is very extensive. Ask your neighbor about the De Laval and be convinced that there i3 just one g ‘d buy in the Cream Separator line. Free Sewing Machines Do you want to get a sewing ma- chine FREE? 1If so call in at our store and get a card to fill out and deposit it in the churn we will have ready for that purpose. On JUNB 16 at 3 o’clock we are going to give away a machine like the above cut absolutely without cost to you. No purchase required for a ticket. Do you remember the one we gave away three years ago? This one will be the same way. REMEMBER THB DATE. Do Laval Gream Separators The ONLY highest award (Grand Prize) at the Panama-Pacific Inter- national exposition. Some of our competitors are advertising that their machine received the only ‘“Medal of Honor” at the above fair. They are quite correct, but the Medal of Honor was the second prize as you will find in writing to the head sec- retary. Below is listed the prizes as given at the above fair: 1st Prize—The DeLaval Separator Co.—Grand Prize. 2nd Prize—The Iowa Dairy Sep- arator Co.—Medal of Honor. 3rd Prize — International vester Co.—Silver Medal. 4th Prize—D. H. Burrell & Co.— Silver Medal. True there was only one Medal of Honor but in giving out these prizes the judges certainly consider- ed every angle in awarding the FIRST PRIZE to the DE LAVAL SEPARATOR. We are headquarters for the De Laval and would appreciate the priv- ilege of putting one in your house for trial. We sell them on easy monthly payments. Har- Personal Notes You should have seen Frank Pier- son smile when he started planting his potatoes with that new Hoover Planter. Ask “Butch” Daniels how his John Deere Manure Spreader paid for it- self on his last year’s crop. Among our out-of-town _callers last week were M. Rygg, Wilton; J. C.
