of Unexplained Guard Muddle—to
Make Effort to Save $22,000 Al­
lotment for Militia.

The Minnesota home guard is denied
permission to wear the regulation
army uniform, under a new ruling bj
the War department, Adjutant Gener
al H. T. McCain, Washington, has ad
vised Major Oscar Seebach, home
guard organizer of the State Public
Safety Commission.
Major Seebach said the order prob
ably will compel members of the cit
teens' auxiliary companies to discon
tinue wearing the uniforms they have
purchased at individual expense.
The military commissioner of tht
state war board is in Washington anr
he may be requested to attempt tc
prevail on the War department to mod
ify its order, the major said.
Rhinow Goes to Capitol.
In an effort to save for the Minne
sota National guard the $22,000 allot
ted by the federal government whicl
is being held up because of unex
plained shortages here, Capt. W.
Rhinow, acting adjutant general, has
been sent to Washington.
Captain Rhinow will place befor
Brig. Gen. W. M. Mann, chief of tht
militia bureau, the exact situatior
here, presenting his reports showing
shortages in equipment amounting tc
more than $38,000 and unpaid bills
amounting to $48,000.
Nothing further will be done in re
quiring an accounting from Adjt. Gen
Fred B. Wood until Captain Rhinow
returns, according to Governor Burn
quist. The War department officials
will be asked to advise the state au­
thorities as to the steps to be taken.
Crowded Asylums to Have More Room.
Planning to relieve overcrowded
conditions in state insane hospitals
and asylums, the State Board of Con­
trol has opened bids to finish third
floor dormitory space in four cottages
at the Hastings asylum. The room
is expected to accommodate 80 pa­
tients. The proposal received from
P. O. Nasvik was the lowest and the
contract probably will be awarded. Be
cause of condition in the hospitals,
numbers of patients are forced to sleep
in corridors.
Field Artillery in U. S. Service.
Immediate mustering into federal
service of the First Minnesota Field
artillery has been confirmed in ad­
vices received from Washington by
military officers at the state capitol.
Because of the large number of men
in the batteries hard training will be
instituted at once. Approximately 250
gunners have just had their first ex
perience in drill work and camp life.
County School Head Is Suspended.
Suspension of Victor S. Knutson,
Todd county superintendent of schools,
has been ordered by Governor Burn
quist, pending investigation of charges
of nonfeasance and malfeasance on
which members of the board of coun­
ty commissioners are demanding the
superintendent's permanent removal
from office.
Action to Test Power of Commission.
An action which will indirectly test
the power of the Minnesota Public
Safety commission and will directly
determine property rights valued at
several hundred thousand dollars in­
volved by acts of the commission has
been filed in Minneapolis.
Men Needed by Thir*d Regiment.
The Third Minnesota regiment is
700 men short of full war strength.
Full war strength is 2,002. Colonel
Eva of Duluth says recruits are com­
ing fast and he is confident the regi­
ment will be up to its full war strength
when the call comes.
Regiment in Good Condition.
The Second Minnesota infantry is
in better condition than it has been
for years, according to Colonel W. T.
Mollison of Faribault. There are now
more than 1,200 accepted and ready
for service, with 317 recruits not ex
amined.
Farm Census Returns Favorable.
Farm census returns to the Minne­
sota Public Safety commission are en­
couraging, Secretary John Pardee
says. Increased acreages as well as
prospective big yields are shown. The
crop estimates are to be made public
soon.
Guards Nip Dynamiters' Plot.
Ninety sticks of dynamite packed in
a beer case have been found half
buried 300 yards east of the camp of
the First Minnesota infantry at Fort
Snelling by two guards. The discpv
ery was made after Sergeant Clyde M.
Waterman of the First infantry and
Private Joe -Derington, headquarters'
company of the Thirty-sixth infantry^
saw a suspicious looking man crawl­
ing on hands and knees in the, grass
near where the explosive afterward
iwas found.
OF WEALTH
Careful Ullage, Good Manage­
ment and a Beneficent Soil.
Reading the reports of the managers
of the chartered banks in Canada, one
struck by the wonderful showing
that they, have made dtiring the past
two or three years. They are. careful
In their statements, and while they
attribute the success that they ha^e
met with, together with tha£ which
followed other, lines of business, they
are careful to emphasize the fact that
the condition of big business may not
continue. On the otner hand, they
point out that the material and funda­
mental source of wealth is the farm.
While other lines of business may have
their setbacks, and while care and
scrupulous care, will have to be exer­
cised to keep an even balance, there
is but littlei risk to the farmer who on
economic and studied lines will cary
on his branch of industry and endeavor
to produce what the world wants not
only today, but for along distance Into
the future, with a greater demand than
ever in the past.
Speaking recently before a Canadian
bank board at its annual meeting, the
vice president, once a farmer himself,
said:
"The farm is the chief source of
wealth. We have now three transcon­
tinental railways with branches run­
ning through thousands of miles of
the very best undeveloped agricultural
land in the world. In the natural
course of things, these must attract
immigration. The products of the farm
are now commanding the highest
prices ever known, and in my opinion
even after the end of the war, high
prices for foodstuffs must continue to
prevail. With the mechanical appli­
ances now available for farm work, the
farmer needs no considerable supply
of extra capital, but should be helped
to the extent needed upon good secur­
ity. The food supply of the world is
short, the demand is likely to increase
rather than decrease. Development
of mines, extension of factories and
the reconstruction of devastated Eu­
rope must all call for supplies for the
workers. On the whole, the farmer
has been helped rather than hurt by
the war, and will continue to be, at
least for a long time to come."
Many men of authority and intelli­
gence support what the vice president
has said, and their statements are
borne out by the facts that readily pre
sent themselves. The different grain-!
producing countries of Europe have!
been robbed of the matta power that de-'
veloped their agriculture, the farms
have been devastated and laid waste,
Full and complete reliance will have to
be placed on the United States and
Canada, and from what we see today,
it will take the combined forces of
these two countries to come anywhere
near meeting the cry that will go out
for food. The warnings and appals
sent out by the heads of these two
countries are none too soon nor too
urgent. Therefore, it becomes nec­
essary for those who can produce to
exert themselves. Secure land, rent it,
buy it. Get it somewhere, some way,
and have it operated. The Canadian
Government, sending out its appeal, is
•ot selfish in this matter. Thousands
of acres in the United States await
bhe tiller's efforts, and none of it
should be idle. Canada, too, offers
wonderful advantages, with its free
lands and its low-priced lands, to those
Jesirous of helping the nation, and im­
proving their own condition at the
same time. Many are taking advan­
tage of this wonderful opportunity.—

Convincing Proof of This Fact
Ridgway, Penn. "I suffered from femalo
trouble with backache and pain in my side for over
seven months so I could not do any of my work. I
was treated by three different doctors and was
getting discouraged when my sister-in-law told me
how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had
helped her. I decided to try it, and it restored my
health, so I now do all of my housework which is
not light as I have a little boy three years old.1*

by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. About eight years ago I
got in such a low state of healthl was unable to keep house for three in
the family. I had dull, tired, dizzy feelings, cold feet and hands nearly

severe case of ulceration and without an operation I wouid always
be an invalid, but I told him I wanted to wait awhile. Our druggist
advised my husband to get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and it has entirely cured me. Now I keep house for seven and work
