NEWS NOTES ABOUT OUR BOYS IN SERVICE .Jalmar Sather has safely arrived "over there." according to a message which his father received. Lon Bradley, who has been home on a furlough to see his sick father, left last Thursday for Ft. Casswell. S. C. Harold Swanson. son of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Swanson. of this city, has safely gotten across the Atlantic, so a card received last week states. Ed. Nelson, who has been home on a furlough all spring to help his parents put in the crop, left for San Francisco last Friday to resume his army life. Arthur Golden received Monday of this- week a postal from his brother Albert, now with the national army, with the brief but welcome message: "Have arrived safely overseas." Hilmer Erickson and Arvid Bloom quist have been transferred from Pittsburgh, Pa., to Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, Si C. They state that so far army life has been very interesting to them and think they will like it first rate after getting better acquaint ed with the work. Judge Grindeland received a letter this week from son Ingolf, who is in France. He was well at the time of writing and says that most every day battles in the air may be seen at a distance. On clear days he also often sees the infantry in action on the firing line. CROPS AND THE WEATHER. Generous showers fell in this locality last Sunday and Sunday night. The ram appeared to be general. Supplied with plenty of moisture the crops await warmer weather to produce rapid growth. The cool- weather, nevertheless, has the advantage of causing the wheat to root firmly, thus insuring a strong and vigorous plant. Never since farming began in the Red River Valley have crops looked better at this time of the season. THREE STATES TO VOTE ON DRY AMENDMENT Prohibition Leaders Say Only Four More Wet States Needed to Exile King Alcohol From L. S. Washington, May 18.The next state vote on the federal prohibition amendment will be Louisiana, where the legislature meets this month. This is one of the 15 "wet" states which have yet to vote. Prohibition workers here say that only four more "wet" states are need ed. Already five wet states have voted for the amendment, with six dry states, making 11 states on record for nation wide prohibition. In all there are 27 states which have passed state pro hibition laws: 21 of them still have to vote on the amendment. Dry leaders believe these 21 will vote "yes." which added to the 11 leaves the amendment four states short of adoption. These* four must be gain ed from the so-called "wet" column. Anti-amendment workers claim that some of the dry states will vote against national prohibition and already in one. Alabama, a warm anti-amendment fight is being led by Senator Under wood. The Georgia legislature meets in June. The state now is dry. Indiana, which recently went dry. is expected to call a special session of the legisla ture to vote on the ratification. New York is the only state which has voted to refer the amendment to a popular referendum. Florida and Tennessee may be the last states to vote as they have con-1 stitutional provisions prohibiting the ratification of an amendment by a legislature elected before the amend ment was submitted. Thirty-five state legislatures will meet next January, and until then the fate of the federal amend men will -not be settled The dry states which have voted for ratification are: Mississippi.

Red Cross Drive Going "Over Top9 GOOD WORK DONE BY DEMONSTRATION NURSE Marshall county has had a Demon stration Nurse since March 12th. altho a part of the time has been given to Pennington county and Roseau county. Up to April loth, she worked on time given by the Minnesota Public Health Association for the sale of Christmas, seals. The County Board has appro I priated four hundred dollars toward the work. And at a meeting of the Marshall County Public Health Asso ciation on March 20th. it was voted to use this money in the continuation of the work begun. Miss Hanson, the nurse, some time ago made the following report of her work in our county: CHEERFUL REPORTS ARE COMING IN FROM WORKERS ALL OVER THE COUNTY. WARREN'S $4,800.00 HAS BEEN RAISED IN FULL The Red Cross campaign in Marshall county is now on in real earnest and present indications are that the full quota will be reached by every municipality. Eagle Point, in the extreme northwestern corner of the county, was the first township to report having oversubscribed its allot- ment of $180. The amount raised at the time report was sent was $220.50. The committee that has charge of the drive in Warren met last night and we here are able to announce that Warren's quota of $4,800 has been raised in full. However, as the need is great, the committee desires to do better than that. Those who may not yet have had a chance to give'are requested to see the committee at once and make their contribution. In Newfolden an auction sale was held jfor the benefit of the Red Cross on Friday of last week at which Julius J. Olson, of War- ren, was present and gave a fine talk that helped greatly in getting things started right. The sale brought about $940, which is $100 more than required to pay up the apportionment of Newfolden village and township, and also of the townships of New Maine and Marsh Grove. Well done, to be sure! When it comes to giving to the Red Cross everybody should come forward and contribute according to his means. No one should base his subscription on what somebody else gives, but give every dollar he can spare. It is all for the boys over there. When all the reports are in, it is to be hoped that the great county of Marshall, which now rejoices over the prospects of a big crop, will be found way over the top.

Owing to an error in reporting to the undersigned, Oak Park was listed as subscribing $14,250 Liberty Bonds, while their actual subscription was $16,050.

PLAN TO ERECT EXHIBIT BUILDING AT CROOKSTON During the past few week* there has been inaugurated in this section of the *tate a big movement which will do much toward stimulating greater pro duction of livestock in the Red River Valley. Representatives of the Red River Valley Livestock Breeders' As sociation. Northern Minnesota Poultry Association. Red River Valley Develop ment Association, and County Farm Bureaus, held a meeting last week, to discuss plans for the erection of a per manent livestock exhibit building in Crookston and for holding a big winter livestock sale during the Farm Crops Show Week. Such a building will do much to de velop in this section an added interest in livestock production as the Red Ri ver Valley is destined to be a great livestock section. It is expected the movement for the erection of this building will meet with the support of all the organizations in the Valley. The committee which is to secure plans and to ascertain the cost of land, etc., will report at the summer meet ing of the Livestock Breeders* and Development Associations to be held in Warren, June 20 and 21.
