Woman, in this war, has exploded many man- made theories about her; among others, the false premise that she cannot be self-contained. Had we been ready to recognize her ability to be reticent, we could have done so, years ago. To divide and confide knowledge with and in others, is natural. Man lives on the group-plan. He demands association and communication with other men, With women it-is likewise, perhaps more so. © 5 ite ee And. when, among the commonplaces of inter- course, we find some choice, unusual, rare morsel to impart, a certain per cent of egotism elation attaches itself to the relation. We watch with triumph the magical effect of our surprise announcement. We enjoy our “scoop.” The amazement, incredulity and as- tounded expressions of inquiry on..the features of our hearers, tickle our vulnerable vanity. ‘Betrayal of a confidence, except when malic- ious or deliberately done for gain, is’ usually an unconscious pandering to our inherent weakness— vanity. © f é Skt One of McAdoo’s most vital posts of railroad supervision: has’ for its incumbent a’ young wom- an.’ The Secret ‘Service uses women ‘operatives. The War’ Department. entrusts . some ‘extremely delicate matters, the transcription of internation- ally important documents, to women. b A Woman CAN keep a secret. If you don’t be- ; lieve it, ask one her age! ‘The Hog Island ship “Quistconck” will soon be helping: in’ the “Conckquist” of the HUN! ‘ ICE Does ice convey infectious diseases? This question is of high importance in the summer- time when practically every household uses ice to keep foods fresh'and when it comes in contact with many of our foods before we serve them. While heat will kill such water borne germs’ as those of typhoid and cholera it hasbeen found that they resist cold for a long time. Scientists have frozen large numbers of typhoid germs in water under laboratory conditions and have found some few of the germs alive after several weeks, : In addition to such experiments sanitariums have found. that feces from typhoid patients when thrown on ;the grounds during the snow and ice periods of winter, remained dangerous © until spring. \ Ice, made from pure water in factories which are kept clean ahd in a sanitary condition and ice which has been cut from’ reasonably deep ponds, lakes or streams after natural freezing conditions and stored under ‘sanitary ‘conditions are, about equally safe. : Ice made from ‘polluted water,.in dirty, in- sanitary factories and ice that is cut from shallow, polluted ponds, or froth grossly polluted’ rivers will contain intestinal organisms and. disease germs and are not safe, experts say. ‘ Be on the safe side and do not let ice come’ in, contact with your food or water. Yanks are to have plenty of soap Over There —they are not forgetting to clean up themselves ewhile they “clean up” the HUNS. A GREAT DAY Since we got into this war our president hasn’t been able to get far from his White House desk. He hasn’t allowed anything to interfere with his war work, the heaviest in all America. He has stuck right to a task so big that few of us can realize its dimensions. But now it is re- ported from Washington that the president may leave Washington long enough to attend the na- tional conyention of War Mothers of America, at Evansville, Ind., next month. He has been asked by the War Mothers to talk to them about their}, sons and the war their sons are going to win. It is hoped that the president can tear himself away from his duties in Washington this long.: Better than any other mortal being can the pres- ident of the United States sympathize with the mothers of our soldiers and sailors and strengthen ‘them in this hour of their_greatest sacrifice....He. the commander-in-chief of their sons “over there” and those in training over, here, can inspire the publication of special dispatches herein, ifor the Mennonite is fond of the dollar in war or .|{minimum of 15,000 tons. - This coal will. be sold mothers with the brand of super-patriotism which drives their boys to victory against the forces of the foe. ‘ A most wonderful: day it will be for the middle west when the war president comies to meet with the War Mothers, such a day as few are given to see. Thereafter the whole west will hum with busier war work than ever and the last atom of Germanism in the middle west will be drowned forever in the ocean of cheers which will greet !Woodrow Wilson, commander-in-chief over here and “over there”. : Besides which, we -beligve Woodrow Wilson himself will be made’stronger in mind, body and soul by meeting face to face with these women who have given their sons into his keeping. No one can come near any War Mother without being inspired, without being a more loyal. American and a more ambitious war worker. i Mothers of America. It will benefit them, him and the nation. d The HUNS are now having hand-to-hand fight- ing and hand-to-mouth existence. GLAD THEY’RE GOING , The Mennonites, who. refused to fight for the country in which they lived, protected and pros- perous, are, going to emigrate to Canada. There they hope to live in safety, garnering’such dollars as they may and letting their neighbors do their fighting ‘for them when. the foe attacks their liberty. Mennonites not only refused to fight, but their leaders were rabid anti-war propagandists, thus helping the kaiser. They did, however, grow food on their fertile farms, selling it at war prices, peace. D It gains in patriotism by: their going. We are sorry, though, that our neighbor and ally in this war is tobe inflicted with this tribe of duty shirkers. The British government is.said to control hy- drogen. Must be an important place: like Fisnie or Soissons! MORE MEAT City folk seldom hear about a great network of boys’ and girls’ clubs which spreads over the whole of agricultural America. ‘These clubs will increase the food’ supply of this tountry something ‘like $10,000,000 this. year. That is largely pork .and poultry for the boys’ clubs run largely.to pig and the girls’ are strong on poultry, though there are boys’ corn’.clubs,. boys’ ‘calf, clubs, ‘girls’ canning clubs,’ and: both combine, in’ garden clubs... =... The original idea ‘of. this boys’ and girls’ club movement was to-interest the farm children’ in farming. It was to keep them onthe farm. The “key” was in giving them a chance to earn money of their own. The object: aimed at has been at- tained. Over 2,400,000 girls and boys are mem- bers. They will make better farmers and far- mers’ wives to feed future America. - Right now, they are increasing our war supply of ‘food, which in itself is reason enough for us city folk-to be concerned about this rural movement. ‘ Forty thousand HUNS migrated from U. S. to Tamale-land since war began. Villa will no doubt raid the border next: time as a German general. FILL THE,COAL BUCKET ' A coal shortage this winter is inevitable. , Already lightless nights have been put into force and there is no doubt. that other: restrictions may.follow. Factories and homes will be put on a limited basis of coal consumption. The public has beeh advised and urged by Fuel Administrator Garfield to “lay in your supply, of coal early.” Vent BUT— t BSS \ 'There are many who have not the money to ‘ay in a supply of coal to run them even half the winter. , These people must be supplied with coal from some source and that source seems to be from a municipal coal pile. pate is eK :Some small towns and large cities have already seen the need for isuch and it. behooves other cities to-follow their leaders. ‘ 7 Boston will establish a municipal coal pile of: a in 50 and 100 pound bags to: those unfortunate enough to be forced to this source of supply. Cleveland will ‘have a coal pile of 10,000 tons. Other cities are doing the same. - Man power and brains will win this war.and' a’ man cannot be efficient in his work if his home life is uncomfortable anda cause for worry. With it being a published and known fact that a coal shortage ig inevitable, every patriotic mayor, and city council should get together and ‘arrange for,a municipal coal pile for the protection of the . & poorer workergy ey Of Massachusetts’ population, 300,000 can neither read nor write English.

The story now going around in the state, seems to be based‘ upon a ma- licious: statement first printed by the Eismarck Tribune some eight weeks (ago. ‘ In that statement I was singled out by name, ,although two other clergy- men ands& number of others more or Jess prominent in Bismarck (as I have since found) were among the purported violators of the food administration regulations at that time.

[Rinne errata for this newspaper story seems to be & food administra- tion card purporting to show an order for tive pounds of sugar hought dun ing the month of May, in my name, — (when I was in the eastern section of the state), from’ the McConkey Com- mercial Co., Bismarck. This order ig of course not signed by me, nor is it signed by any member of my family. Lut I find that on that same ¢ard is another order for, two pounds of brown sugar, signed for in a regular way by lone of my daughters, who (it is vert- ified) endeavored’ to buy two pounls jof brown sugar from our family gro- cery firms in Bismarck, but he not having that commodity on hand, my jdaughter in good faith went to the McConkey Commercial Co. to buy the | said amount of brown sugar, so that ishe might make and send, to. her two |saldier brothers in the, U. $. service, some home made candy. I recognize my daughter's hand writing and sig- ‘Inature receipting for the two pounds, {but the five. poupnds found upon tie | same card ona separate line, 1s not signed for by, my daughter, or any Jone else connected with my family. i'The McConkey .
