The reduction is-neces- sary the food administration states if the shipments of wheat to our Soldiers and the allies are to be at all adequate and the people at home are to have even this limited quantity of wheat for their own use during the period from now until the present year’s crop is harvested. ¥ : “From now until-harvest no effort must be spared that will result in the saving of wheat,” says A. D. Wilson, federal food administrator for Minnesota, “and fortunately there is every indication that there will be an abundance of substitutes, as mills are changing constantly to milling either barley, corn or rice. ‘The 50-50 rule must be rigidly observed and everyone, should ‘cut down his consumption of wheat flour to the limit. The meat situation is considerably relieved and we can use meat, except beef and pork on Tuesday, whenever it will re- sult in the saving of wheat. Generous use of ~potatoes and avy will undoubtedly reduce the consumption of bread. This gth‘e'b’est time of the year for a shortage of bread supplied be- cause it is the season when eggs and dairy products are abund- ant and fresh vegetables will soon be plentiful. RN -0, YOU NEED THE LIBERTY LOAN Workers for the Third Liberty Loan should not take up their task with the idea that because this is the third drive for billions, therefore it will be three times as difficult to solicit the loan. Raising money- for victory is largely an adventure in psychology. If the need of the third loan is three times more vividly impressed on the citizen’s mind than that for the first loan, the canvass for this will be as swift and successful as was the drive for that. Just now is an impressive moment for democracy. Hell is headed this way, and nothing this side of heaven but men and munitions will stop. it. Men are going to the front as fast as they can get there. The men who are there are giving their lives as freely as we would give a drink of cold water to a thirsty child. We are not asked to die. All that is asked of us is, not that we lift a finger, nor spend a penny, but that we loan money for the fight. If this fact does not appeal with a thrill te a property owner or a wage earner in America, that man-is-unfit to live in America and unsafe to live anywhere. necscees e 2 Now that Lenine and Trotsky have succeeded in demob- ilizing and demoralizing the Russian armies, they are wildly calling upon the Russian people to “defend the revolution.” Seems to'us we recall reports of a'people who were forced to “make ‘bricks without straw.” The meat packers are'urging Mr. Hoover to abolish the meatless'days because the supplies are piling up. We would gecond their motion if the prices showed any inclination to “pile” down. o e gt : If all American pacifists were as practical in their pacifism as Henry Ford, we would soon have peace, but it would be peace through victory. ————ie Your money can’t be America? neutral—Is it for or .against ICTURES of home folks P carry warmth and com- tort to the heart of a soldier.

Notice how they seize things with their fists. They do not use thelr finger-ends as we do. While ‘the higher monkeys, such as gorillas and chimpanzees, may be taught:to use. their fingers, they never learn’to use them as easily as The ‘monkey {8 primarily a tree- dweller. Tt lives in forests and swings from tree to tree, using its hands as hooks ~ with which 1t grasps the branches. The thumb is not brought into play. Some South erican mon- keys have lost the thumb through dis- use; all that 1s left of it is indicated by a little lump under the skin, In the higher monkeys the wrist is built like yours. It has the same num- ber of bones. But the monkey has never used his wrist, and so 1t has'lost the flexibility. The monkey can use his fist to better advantage than his hands. A Man, on the other hand, has used his feet so long simply for the purpose of walking, that he would experience con- siderable difficulty -in using ‘them as he uses his hands. Yet, it is amazing how quickly a man can learn to use his toes as he does his fingers. If you don’t believe this, just try to write with your toes. At first the letters will be very large and awkward. ‘But with a very little practice you will find that you can write with ‘your foot inore easily than with your left hand, if you are naturally right-handed. It is an attractive exercise with which to while away an hour. We know you will try the experiment. - g7 BEMIDJ DAILY PIONFER LESSON WAS TOO REALISTIC/ Class in. First-Ald Work Promptly . Proved That “Nerve” Was a Thing i They Lacked. * & i A doctor of a small town, of central Missouri was instructing a class of 80 enthusiastic young ald work. The lesson for the evening was on nerve, and he was endeavoring to en- lighten them as' to just what was meant by “nerve,” and how. it was es- peclally necessary in the case of acci- dents. 3 The instructor continued by saying a distinguished physician had said that “Nerve means you must be cool, you must be very cool, you musi be — €oo0l.” ) + Just as he finished this explanation, a scream was heard outside, followed by several pistol shots. The outer door into the basement of the town library, | y'vl\ere the class was being held, was flung open. Two men, struggling to- gether, their clothes drenched in blood, rolled down the steps into the reom. There were moans from the writhing forms on the floor, but the class did not hear them. They had flown, not only to the outer door, but to a friend- 1y shelter across the street. Nor, when the doctor went across to them, and explained that the shooting affray was only a sham one between two college boys, which he was using to illustrate his lecture, would they re- turn. They had completely lost their “nerve,” they explained, and their nerves were so shaken they must go }}ome at once, and go they did. ———— Training Little Children. Children are so open-hearted and ready and respond so sweetly and quickly to faith and trust that we often miss great happiness by not sharing our hopes and joys more freely with them. If We keep the bond very clgse, our home will become the great meeting place of all children, and this love and companionship between parents ana children” will be like a powerful mag- net whose attraction the children can- not. resist. So, from these beginnings the home tle will be so strengthened that we need -never fear that the allurements of the world can draw our children from us, but can rest assured that they will' always return to the “center of deep repose.” Worms That Thrive on lce. F. BE. Matthes of the United States geologlcal ‘survey described ~ some strange worms that abound on the low- er parts of the Mount Rainier glaciers. They are dark brown, slender and about an inch in Ieagth. On favorable days In July and August millions and millions of them may be found writh- ing on the surface of the ice, evidently breeding there and feeding on organic matter blown upon the glacler i the form of dust. “So. essential to thelr existence,” says Mr. Matthes, “is the chill of the ice that they enter several Inches, and sometimes many feet; be- low the surface on days when the sun 8 particularly hot, reappearing late in the afternoon.” Real Purpose of the State. The ultimate purpose ‘of the state is not to rule men, to keep them in fear, to subject them to the will of others, but, on the contrary, to allow éach as far as possible to live in se- curity, that is, to preserve for each his natural right to live without harm to himself or to his neighbor. No, I re- peat, the object of the state is not to ;rnnsfcrm reasonable beings into ani- mals or automata; its object is to en- able the citizens to develop in security their bodies and their minds, freely to employ their reason. The true end of the state, therefore, is liberty.— Spinoza. women _ in ‘first- | 0y ¢ DANGERS OF A COLD Bemidji People Will Do Well to Heed Them.
