COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO THROTTLE PAN MOTOR. ‘According to a dispatch from Chicago, the federal grand jury hasindicted thirteen officials of the Pan Motor company of St. Cloud, alleging fraud and mistse of the mails. It would seem that the officials of the Pan company would stick up their backs and snort good and loud. They are of the best citizenship of St. Cloud, all prosperous in business and prominent in their community and state. We believe they have conducted affairs along proper channels, and we intend to hold that opinion until proven otherwise. It seems to have been a long campaign to cripple the Pan Motor company and also St. Cloud, on the part of certain interests who are determined to injure and damage this industry and its location. 0 ILLICIT BOOZE SELLERS ARE ALONE TO BLAME. One of the orders of the public safety commission of the state was No. 12, which was calculated to prohibit railroads and others from accepting liquor shipments into Beltrami county. The order was all right but the roads had a habit of delivering booze in trunks, suit casts, salt barrels, etc., as the order was not obeyed by a lot of corrupt henchmen of the liquor interests. No attempt was made by this tribe to obey the law and still they wonder why it is that the people rise and stamp out the v whole sordid business. v Orirmiveiis FARMING WOULD AFFORD OPPORTUNITY. It would be a good plan to let these soldiers returning from France without means of support after they land in this country, be advised to take to the soil. Farming is the most important factor of any country in the line of produce. Energetic men step into an age of wealth when they take the reins of a farm on a modern scientific scale and mean business. It would reduce poverty, fill the markets and generate now wasteful lands in some of the choicest parts of our country. o ¥ A new class starts tonight at the night course now being held in the high school, that of breeding and care of poultry. - This night school is merely a series of helpful lectures and in- struction in the “know how’’ of various topics and is free to all who care to attend. Harry Olin will give the instruction in poultry, himself having been a big winner. He is instructor in agriculture in the Bemidji schools and will give his time free to all who care to attend this class. It.would be of value to + - all who have chickens. L 0 We can’t for the life of us comprehend why Some legis- lators should in their frenzied manner attack the public safety commission. True, it might have made some errors of com- mission, but Christ was crucified. There is not the slightest doubt but that the commission was responsible for driving out disloyalty from the state of Minnesota, copied by various other states, and presenting what bid fair to bring about strife and bloodshed. _And we KNOW that is a fact. g O We believe James Vickers is entitled to much credit. En- gaging six years ago in a modest restaurant in a modest build- ing, which he rented, he became the owner. Now he has pur- chased the brick Gunsalus building at the southeast corner of Minnesota avenue and Third street for $22,000, making a sub- stantial payment to close the deal. There's some excellent judgment somewhere in that Vickers family. ! 0 The Hog Island ship yard, which will cost the government $66,000,000 when completed, ‘“was one of the greatest adver- tisements the United States ever had,” declared Matt C. Brush, president of the company opérating the plant, before the senate commerce commission Thursday. At that Mr. Brush wasn’t very far off on his belief. O . So Germany is going to get 6,000,000 bushels per month, mostly of grain from the United States, provided she can pay for it.. Now that’s real generous on the part of the government. Might also cut the cost in this country a little. The people could stand it. ) We all remember that the kaiser once remarked that he “would stand no nonsense from America after the war.” He does not yet know how much good hard American common sense it may be necessary for him to stand “after the war.” —_—0 The man who swore off smoking on New Years has by this time extricated his dear old pipe from the snowdrift to which in the first fine frenzy of resolution he consigned it. 0 We suspect that the formation of the League of Nations is still considerably more than “half a league onward.” But the allies will overtake it some day. ; et ST e S R Germany will be a wizard of finance if she can foot the bills for indemnity and reconstruction which will be brought vigorously to her attention. ) The kaiser and the crown prince now realize what it is to be “in Dutch.” s TR No one is recommending Berlin as a pleasure resort at present. i LTI TR DL O TR L B L T LT T TR The Pioneer Want Ads Bring Resuits llllllllll[llllllIllllllllllllII!IIIIIIIIIllllllllllllllIllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllll PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BEST Timely Measures Properly Applied Of. fer Surest Means of Controt—Kill . ing Often Advisabie, {Prepared by the United States Depart- taent of Agriculture.) Poulfry ralzers who walt until dis- ease appears in the flock and then prepare ‘to make a defensive nttaclk are likely to be successful only in rare cases, By far the best plan is to care for the flock in such a way that disease will mot appear. The aim in controlling the diseases of poultry is, they add, to learn how to-prevent them rather than how fo cure. X To enlighten poultry owners as to the characteristics of the more fmpor- tant diseases in order that they may Intelligently use the most fmproved methods of combating them Farmers' Bulletin 957, “Important Poultry Dis« eases,” has recently been published by the department. The causes, symp-i toms, from aspergillosis (brooder pneu= monia) to worms, are given in.thiy publication. i S As all poultry 18 susceptible to many diseases, some of which are highly in~ fectious and resist. all efforts of treats ment; the bulletin suggests that when birds become sick it is often the best plan to kill them. The greater the number of birds kept upon any farm or plot of ground, and the more they ! are crowded together, the more fmpor-i tant are the measures for excluding, erndlcating, end preventing the devel- opment of the causes of disea: i When disease appears among poul: the poultry yard -and a good .coatlng! ‘of freshly slaked lime should be ap-| pliéd to the entire surface of the| ground, according to the bulletin, Af-] ter a few days it should be plowéd and then cultivated three or four times at| intervals of a week and fing"t>gsowed | with oats, rye or other grain.

(Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Market ‘white-shelled and brown- shelled eggs in separate packages. When selling eggs to the country merchant or cash buyer insist that the trapnsaction be on the guality basis. Ship or deliver eggs at least twice or three times weekly. ’ Small or dirty eggs should be used at home. § When taking eggs to market they should be protected from the sun's rays. Infertile eggs will withstand mar- keting conditions much better than fertile eggs. METHODS FOR FEEDING CORN|. Hens Get Considerable Exercise wmn' Fed on Cob—Supply in Dry Litter Satisfactory.
