COUNTE AWD OITY PROCEDINGS MORE THAN INTERESTED US. We learned with more than passing interest that “Jack” Herbert had come through the officers school at Camp Zach- ary Taylor, Louisville, Ky., a first lieutenant. -It was with more than passing interest to us for the reason there was a human interest phase to it all, having to do with the outset of the world conflict and one.of the: most likeable and at the same time the most pestiferous and: persistent -individual - that answered the call in Beltrami county. We say, who “answered the call.” No, Hesbert didn’t. “answer’-it, he just naturally shoved himself into it—kicked his-way into it. would, perhaps, be more proper. And that same persisnency has taken him upward and through to his newly received commission, from the lowly position of a buck private in less than a year. 'When the drafts were first called from the registry, Her- bert’s name was not among those on-the list. He had a good position with the Crookston company in its office department, married. and: the home: was gfaced-by a young miss of tender age. The job didn’t matter, and- the good wife was willing that her hushand go, and so was the babe. But the quota was filled on that call. Then entered the persistent Mr Herbert. He consulted the draft Board. Nothing doing. He consulted everybody he met. He even went to the Twin Cities. He bothered Sheriff Johnson to death. . He pestered the life out of the draft board ‘members. - He: haunted:the Pioneer office to ascertain what was known there. - He divided his time between the draft office and the Pioneer editor, seeking some solution. He just naturally had to go and that was all there was to it. He dogged ‘the: footsteps of the head of the draft board at all hours and didn’t receive the. slightest.ray of hope. It was about as discouraging a proposition as a housewife has in canning a winter’s supply with two pounds of sugar for a bushel of peaches. Just as the candle of hope has commenced. to sputter, a few. of the draftees failed to arrive on time and at the last and on top. of that came the announcement that he placed in,charge of the-squad enroute for Camp Dodge: Mercy! )y ; ! 33 The day of departure dawned. The band blared-martial music. The squad marched: under escort to the depot. - There was Herbert in & kahki suit, the only- one in captivity of the entire bunch. A big crowd was at the train. The farewells were said and with. a shriek of the whistle the engine snorted out with the big quota and Herbert and his suit of yellow was happier than a clam in a slack tide. ; And when this. bundle ‘of ; persistence reached Camp Dodge and had gone.through the ropes of initial drudgery he applied for a transfer to the field artillery- and received it. Then he hooked onto a sergeancy and kept.it up until it is now First Lieut. Herbert. : —_—0 - YES, AMERICANIZE STATE’S SCHOOLS . State Superintendent Schultz, head of Minnesota’s education, specially to 400 pl.'ivate schools with 40,000: enrolments." That is as it should be. Hundreds of cities. and towns throughout the nation have done just that. States are doing so. Minnesota should follow this example, as have scores of cities gmd towns in the state. - When-it came to.examining the spell- 1ng'b_ooks and readers in use in the Chicago schools, they contained the most laudatory accounts of the kaiser, the boss butcher of women and children. Other text books throughout the country were found to be similar in character. man pgopaganda was being spread to juvenile America under the guise of education, slowly poisoning the mind of the child- ren to believe in the hallowed character of the world’s arch assassin. 5 ¢ : It is time the German stain was wiped out from the educa- tion of thp young of Minnesota. It is time they were given an opportunity to banish from their mind the fancied picture of the self arrogated partnership -of God Almighty. America is not glorified in the books of the children of Germany, nor the study of the English language is not being ,taugh_t her children. Why shouldn’t American schools be ‘Americanized in this instance. = : b el SN WHAT’S IN A RIVER. If a New York woman moves across North River into New Jersey, or 1f a Kansas woman moves across the Missouri, both lose their right to vote. But a New York man can move to El Paso and a Kansas man can move to Michigan or Maine and their voting rights will still be protected. : Is there' any real reason why the women on one side of a river should'be’ entitled to a voice in the laws under which they.hve and work when the women on the other side are depnvgd of_lt? Is it common sense? The congress is the only power in this country which can take the first step in removing the artificial boundaries’ which now oppress half of the coun- try’s citizens. Let democracy be as genuine on one side of our rivers as on the other—on one side of our country as on the other. In congress, and congress alone, is vested the power to accomplish this. ‘ —_0 _Among the members of the board that had to do with p}acmg the contracts for building several hundred worthless airplanes at a cost of millions, resided in Dayton, Ohio. And the senate committee noticed that many millions in contracts were placed in Dayton plants. Simple! Very simple! Why even one of the cabinet’s family members was interested in an airplane plant with a million dollar contract, and it was dis- covered by a former probe. moment Herbert was notified he could be one to fill the quota,] | ~would be| ‘Americanization of all Minnesota schools is sought by ‘ The Ger-| &his | BUSHEL SEED ~ CORN DRWE Minnesota Farmers Organize for a Regular Win-the-War Seed Corn:Campaign, Sept 10-20. BUSHEL FOR EVERY [ONE _ ’ - THREE ACRES'IS QUOTA Ll Each County's Alfotment 1s Fixed on Basis of One-Third of Its Corn Acreage. (Published by the Federal Food Ad- U'ministration for Minnesota. Prepared in the Office of Publications, Univer- sity Farm.) - ¥ Minnesota’s farmers will be in tl;é'ff cornflelds- next month in a drive, for | 1,000,000 bughels of seed corn-as & means of helping. Minnesota’s and the nation’s soldier boys on the battle. flelds of France.in their drive for Ber- lin. : i The: time for the seed corn drive will be during the annual Seed Corn Time, September. 10-20, before which every corn-growing county in'‘the state. will be systematically organized ag ifi for a Liberty Loan drive. .The organizing force will be the county farm bureaus. Each of these bureaus; of which there is now one. in every, county in the state, will see to it that its county is apportioned by schogl, districts, or by some other system, so that not a- corn-grower shall miss a call for his quota of seed corn—not to be given to the -bureau or any ome- || ife but to be stored away carefully or the corn-grower’s use on his.own farm next year, and the year after. One Bushel for Every Three Acres. Minnesota grows 3,000,000 acres of corn. It takes 500,000 bushels of seed gorn to seed 8,000,000 acres. Conse- quently 1,000,000 bushels of seed corm will seed 3,000,000 acres for two years. And that is just what the farm bu- . reaus have in“mind. Through the ex- treme shortage of seed corn last spring every bit. of surplus seed corn such as is usually held over from one year to ancther was used, and wisdom dictates the accumulation of a surplus large enough to prevent the possibility of another such shortage as existed last spring. Such a sur- _plus. can be accumulated if every corn- grower: will select during Seed Corn Time one bushel for every three acres he plants to corn, Food Administration Approves. A, D. Wilson, federal food adminis- trator. for Minnesota, because of his interest in large production and. the use. of every possible means of assur- g a bountiful supply of food; through Fi E. Balmer, state leader of county agents, has sent special ap- peals to all farm bureaus to c8-operate in the drive. He has supplemented this with letters to commercial .clubs, farmers’ clubs, county agents, high Bchool agriculturists, county —school superintendents, and many others, asking for their win-the-war support of the project. These appeals and letters give the corn acreage for each county which grows corn and the num- ber of bushels which each county’s tarmers should select and store in or- der to do their part in this novel cam- ‘paign.
