Next to God is country, and religion and patriotism go hand in hand, stand as indisputable truths. Fidelity, therefore, to our glorious constitution that knows no equal, past or present, forms the prime duty of every true : American citizen. Absolute obedience to the country’s cause no loyal patriot will ever presume to disregard. “Our beloved nation is at war. Every noble effort was judiciously employed to avoid the terrible event, but the inevitable hour has cowme for strenuoue action. Heartrendering is it to witness men leave their peaceful home, their fertile flelds and their thriving business, many of ‘whom perhaps never to return, to bid farewell to dear and aged parents, cherished wives and loving children; but our country’s welfare is at stake and true patriots know no sacrifice. “The cause of the war is sufficient, just and unavoidable. Neutral- ity was the prudent and wise watchword while war was being waged in foreign countries, but since our noble Republic has been drawn into the awful conflict, continued neutrality would be vertable and ignominious treason. “The future welfare and the time-honored prestige of the nation demand our taking up arms. What reverence, what respect, or what re- gard, could American citizenship, American posterity and American blood hope to receive from the world, should the present generation of Americans fail in its duty at the present crisis? “This world-renowned republic must maintain its sublime traditions, our forefathers never hesitating to respond to its call and needs. The immortal Lincoln called for volunteers and off they went at the sound of the bugle and the tap of the drum, that American honor might be vindi- cated and the American flag float honorably to the breezes. Our own beloved Minnesota, the star state of the north, set a brilliant example, at the thought of which patriotic hearts ever thrill with overflowing joy and legitimate pride. The farmer quit his plow, the merchant left his desk, the student abandoned his books, and all loyal citizens declared them- selves ready to shed their blood upon the altar of the country. “A just, right, and honorable part must the republic assume in the council of the nations at the conclusion of this unique and fierce struggle. Therefore, must we Americans, nobly and unflinchingly, battle for the reign of righteousness, justice and abiding peace. Defence of our pristine honor, the vindication of precious and international rights, the glorifica- tion of our national inheritance, purchased at the cost of the wealth, the sacrifices and the blood of ever-memorable ancesters, such should be the burning desire of every human being, who possesses the inestimable privilege of breathing the air of American liberty and who enjoys the untold benefits of our land, the hospitable home of the down-trodden and the oppressed, and the nation of opportunities, so grand in its origin, so grand in its constitution and so grand in the spirit of its people. The inhabitants of our shores should indeed employ ever honest measure to gain the victory, which will redound to the cause of civilization and hu- manity. hladii “The supreme voice of the nation has spoken and patriots will un- doubtedly obey to a man. Submission to the legitimate dictates of the chief ruler of the country is a duty, just, right and honorable, for all lawful authority comes from the Eternal God, the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. “Our solemn obligation, as men and patriots, is to cooperate with the government wholeheartedly. The earnest efforts of all citizens should be to submit to its commands and even anticipate its wishes. Loyalty and allegiance, therefore, are the positive demands of the hour. “Our chief executive has sounded the alarm and all true Americans will thrill with the truest devotion, gladly offering their fortunes and themselves for the country’s service. No demand on our American citizen- ship will remain unanswered. In the present emergency we will uphold the arms of our worthy president. “True American sons, native or adopted, will cheerfully rally around the flag with the fullest devotion and love, our noble flag, the banner of our independence, power and glory, the recognized symbol of liberty, equality and fraternity, not mere monumental insecriptions, the hallowed emblem of grandeur and greatness, our unconquerable flag that has floated over many of our cradles, and may it float over all our graves. Acts, and not idle words, are needed. We all, therefore, pledge loyalty, love and support to our country with even the sacrifice of life. Inspired by patriotism, the love of home and the land of our forefathers, let us bear in mind the noble sentiment of our Divine Savior: ‘‘Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” H. A. Emerson, food investigator for New York, yesterday declared in Chicago, as noted in a dispatch in the Pioneer, that “food gambling is more rotten here than in New York” and declared that if justice were meted out “thirty butter and egg dealers would be in prison.” If Mr. Emerson will m2ke that last as a motion we'll second it. There iz cne patriotic thing we can all do. That is to buy at home and keen onr money in circulation at home as much as possible. And the local fenler can demonstrate his own patriotism by keeping his prices down as much as possible. Every little helps—both ways. Speculators in foodstuffs create high prices. High prices sap the vitality of the people through lack of sufficient nourishment. Vitality is essential to a successful prosecution of the war. Jail the speculators— or make them fight. At any rate, we are thankful for the shower, for it will have a tend- ency to hasten the growth of the grass and then we can get that handtul[ of salt and get out in the back yard. ‘We don’t mean any disrepect to that good American ship Vacuum, sunk by a German submarine, when we say we wished she’d cleaned that pesky sub.

The judges of the contest were Mesdames T. J. Burke, Quincy Brooks and E. R. Evans. One-half of the prize money was donated by .he Crookston Milling Co., of which John Falls is the local agent, and the other half by the Bel- trami Elevator & Milling company, of which Thomas Ervin is the head.

When Manager Harding of the Grand was offered the opportunity to add a musical act to his, moving pic- ture program last night he grabbed it and so highly was it recommended that he advertised it extensively. The theater was packed and the act went on. At about the first shot out of the box Manager Harding sneaked out of the theater and around to the alley and kicked himself around the block. “Worst I ever saw,” he snorted to- day. “For heaven’s sake help me out. Tell the people it is on me. Not on your life, they won’t be there again tonight. But say, honestly, it was so rotten it was good, wasn’t it?” It was.

D.) 7 The subject of drinking water with meals has been misunderstood for a hun- dred years. . In recent years investigation by means of X-rays, the observations of -scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov, Fow- ler, Hawk, prove that an abundance of water taken during digestion is nec in good bodily housekeeping. m plenty of water with each meal. Do not drink ice-water at any time. If your kidneys are sick, or you suffer with lumbago or rheumatism at_times, pain in the back or back of the neck, take a little Anuric before meals. This can be found at any good drug store. There- fore my advice to young or old is, always drink plenty of pure water. And for long life, occasionally take tablets of Anuric three or four. times a dar*y It is simply wonderful how quickly Anuric acts—much more potent than lithia. You will find it dissolves uric acid as water does sugar. - SUFFERED SEVERE PAINS. ago I e all run- down and weak thru hard work.
