NESOTA FAIR TAX ASSOCIATION WILL FIGHT TONNAGE TAX LR Northern Minnesota to Begin Campaign of Informa- tion in May Hibbing, April 28.—The - Minne- sota. Fair Tax association was fosm- ed at a mass meeting attended by over 500 people of 66 different towns in northern Minnesota on Jan. 12 of this year. It is claimed to be a peo- ple’s organization with which the mining companies have nothing to do, and its aim is to fight the ton- nage tax, not in the legislature as the mining. companies have always done, but by taking the facts con- cerning iron ore and its taxation di- -rectly to the people of the state. The organization plans to circulate literature, publish advertisements in papers, send speakers throughout the state and in every way possible ac- quaint the people of the state with all the facts .concerning. a tonnage tax. This work will be begun the first week in May when canvassers, prominent business men of northern Minnesota. who have volunteered their services will invade all parts of the state with propaganda directed against the tonnage tax. Funds for carrying on this cam- paign were secured by selling over 30,000 mémberships at $1 each, and by contributions from commercial clubs and business men in northern Minnesota. . The work of the Minnesota Fair Tax association is being carried on by an executive committee consist- ing of the following northern Minne- sota business men: . R. W. Hitch- ck, Hibbing, chairman; N. M. Koll, Cass Lake; R. R. Wise, Brainerd; W. G. Brown, Chisholm; E. C. Kiley, Grand Rapids; W. Archer, Vir- ginia; #. J. Darcy, Duluth; G. H. Lommen, Biwabik; J. A. Thomas, Ely; F. E.

A. Shan- non, A. E. Rako, Mayor Johnson, and most everybody that wears or ever did wear a mustache, but A. P. Ritchie and Andy McNabb have re- ceived a free ticket to the American Legion boxing exhibition to be held on May 3 at the Grand theatre under the auspices of the Ralph Gracie post for correctly guessing the owner of the’ half “map” and accosting the present wearer of a somewhat changed “map’’ with the information that he was the person represented in the picture which was shown is The Pioneer last week. - But 'who except an old-timer around Bemidji would recognize the “map” as at one time belonging to George Walker, Sr., our worthy freight agent for the “Mike & Ike” railway.

Gracie post of the American Legion, in the match against Archie Reed. He has been substituted by Thomas Tibbetts of the K-L Pleasure club, who promises to give Reed a merry run for the money. These men are both of the same weight, tipping the scales at 135 pounds when prepared for ac- tion. Tibbetts has a bunch of staunch supporters from the box factory who are ready to back him to the limit against Reed’s followers, who feel confident that their favorite is the better fistic artist of the two.

The “potato seed . plot” is the foundation and breeding plot that the grower wants in order to keep the strains up to their maximum produc- tion and eliminate the diseases as far as possible. The seed plot is to re- ceive special care and should be large enough to supply the general field of the next year, for example, if a grow- er has ten acres of field potatoes each year, he should have a one-acre seed plot. From this one-acre seed plot the grower should select fifteen bushels of the best potatoes for the next years seed plot. The balance of the po- tatoes from the seed plot should be used in planting the general field. The potatoes from the general field should not be used for seed, but sold either as table stock or certified seed. ‘The following steps are recom- mended for use, and should be fol- JAPANORDERS RUSSIANTROOPS IN SIBERIA | NITHDRAWN Drastic Regulations of Japan- ese Require Armed Russians to Vacate Siberia WARSHIPS AND ARMS ; MUST BE TURNED OVER Russian Provisional Govern- ment Notified by Ultima- tum From Japan o, (By United Press) Tokio, April 23.—(By.

MINNESOTA BAPTISTS RAISING DRIVE OUOTA Minnesota Baptists-- are marshail- ing their full'strength to raise $2,- 540,000, the state's ¢uota .of “the $100,000,000 fund Northern Baptists seek to secure between April 26 and May 2 for ‘“enlarged Christianity.” Rev. E. R. Pope, D. D., for the past 26 years superinténdent of missione and secretary of the Minnesota Bap- tist State Convention, is heading the campaign organization within the state. The machine he is forming will extend into each local church, where teams will be organized along the lines of the community teams in the war work drives. Christian Americanization among the foreign-born in the United States, expansion of religious and general educational institutions supported by the denomination, increased salaries and pensions for ministers and mis- ;siongries and greatly emlarged for- eign mission work are among the an- nounced aims of the New World Movement of Northern Baptists, and will be furthered by the fund. Dr. John Y. Aitchison, who heads the entire movement, with headquar- ters in New York, holds that “Chris- tianity faces as great a crisis today as the United States did in April, 1917.” “We are going forward,” Dr. Afit chison said in a recent interview, “on the theory that the denomination or the church or the man who hangs back in these days of reconstruction or destruction is what President Roosevelt would have called ‘ a pus- syfooter of the deepest dye.” There is no solution for the world’s ills ex- cept straight-from-the-shoulder, un- modified Christianity.” > lowed as closely as possible during’ the various seasons. Spring Management. 1. Select (for a one-acre plot, fif- teen bushels) potatoes of good .uni- form size, true to type, and as free from diseases as possible. 2. Cut off from one-fourth to three-fourths inches of the stem end of every potato and throw away. Also discard all potatoes showing brown streaks or brown ring dis- coloration, saving only the potatoes of clear colored flesh. The cutting off of the stem end removes the fusarium wilt and other diseases which may be present. 3. Treat the potatoes in corrosive sublimate as soon as possible after the stem ends have been cut off. Summer Management. 1. Rogue out’all diseased plants or place stakes so as to mark the best plants for hill selection. 2. Rogue out all mixtures. Fall Management. 1. It pobsible, dig with a fork and select the very best hills which are true to type and free from diseases. 2. If mass selection must be prac- tised, be careful to select the best type possible for the various varieties grown. 3. About fifteen bushels should be saved for the one-acre plot of the next year. e Winter Management. 1. Store under the best conditions possible. Remember this is your best seed stock for the next year and the years to come, so give it all the at- tention possible. b | | | 18 WORLD NEWS (By United Press) REBELS CLAIM CHIHUAHUA El Paso, April 28.—Representa- tives of Obregon revolutionists today claimed Chihuahua City has been captured by their forces without bloodshed.
