(Established 1878) ES SPEEDING UP. Before the war fatigue and its relation to health was the subject of many investigations through- out the country. It was found that an individual could not work long hours and maintain his max- imum efficiency and that in the long run the practice was unfavorable to both employe and employer. Methods devised in many places to speed up the output of industries are bound to have a re- action not only on the output but on the individ-|dramatization of the Bible story of the prodigal ual.

Factory output must be maintained but so must bodily upkeep. Some things that aid the latter are avoidance of overeating or drinking; do not keep late hours, get plenty of sleep; eat the right kind of food—only a little meat in hot weather. Learn to relax, avoid needless worry and undue excite- ment, wear proper clothing, bathe often. Esthonia, a republic, protests against German occupation. Occupation seems to be a favorite occupation with the HUNS. . THE CZECHO-SLOVAKS. The hopes of the Czecho-Slovaks are gradually being realized. ; Great Britain -has formally recognized the Czecho-Slovaks as an allied nation and their three armies as part of the great allied fighting force. France and Italy have already officially recog- nized the aspirations of these people, and the United States has unofficially through its sec- retary of state expressed the sympathy of this country for their cause. The recognition of these people by the allied powers is but the carrying out of one of the prin- ciples for which we are fighting—the freeing of the smaller nations from any despotic control. The allies have much to be grateful for in the struggle of the Czecho-Slovaks for political free- dom. They have kept alive the flame of revolt in the Austrian empire. ‘ They have deserted to the cause of the allies whenever and wherever pos- sible, fighting under their banners when capture meant death as deserters. They kept on fighting the advancing armies of the Germans into Russia, even though the Russians had fled. And now they are also fighting shoulder to shoulder with the French, British and Americans on the west- ern front driving the HUN back to his liar. Political freedom as a separate nation will mean the end of the sufferings and privations of these people. King of Bulgaria is suffering from mental STrAIN. The third letter in that word is super- fluous, in_R opinion! CONSCRIPTING WAR PROFITS their marbles and then take the marbles away from them. That seems to be the policy Secretary McAdoo is pursuing. It also seems to be about the only sure way to overcome profiteering. EQUALITY. New York hotels have announced a cut in rates to army and navy officers. This is mighty fine, good, and patriotic. If anyone should be shown the greatest considera- tion it is the man who is giving his all to down the HUN. BUT— ‘ Why not include the private soldier? Let’s not have ANY class distinction in this case—let’s give ’em all the same reduction. HUN “shock” troops are getting the shock of their Hunnish lives. In voting against anti-American congressmen, don’t overlook those who line up with the profiteers. Much has been said concerning “A Man With- out a Country” but if Germany fights long enough she’ll know what it is to be “A Country Without ia a Man wil ta “Yanks hold positions despite terrific blows.” That the HUNS are still able to deal “terrific blows” should be sufficient to strifle any pacifist inclination to peace-talk. , | WITH THE EDITORS “THE WANDERER.” Seattle is distinctly favored: and enriched’ by the current presentation of “The Wanderer,” a Such a production glorifies the stage, as Servant in the House” and “The ‘Passing of the Third Floor Back” glorified it in the past. Asa spectacle it excels these and in its portrayal of secred figures and pictures of Biblical times pleasing entertainment of a passing hour. Such hands of real artists. Stagecraft alone would: not suffice. Actors who live and feel the parts port- rayed are required necessarily.. That so elaborate a play with the original cast and-scenic accessories should be seen outside the large’ Eastern cities is NEARING THE RHINE q we \ MW y vi sareesevet = a matter. of wonderment. That it should reach this distant point attests its inherent and sur- passing merit. And-in its presentation -here as already said, Seattle, is peculiarly - and -richly favored. \ Not to see “The Wanderer” is .to allow op- portunity to knock at the door in vain and to miss a dramatic feast offered once in a generation.— Seattle Post Intelligencer. NORTH DAKOTA COMMUNITY SPIRIT. | Community spirit is being fostered and en- coruaged in North Dakota. The movement is po- tential in possibilities along social, fraternal, ed- ucational, civic and commercial lines: and, is being supported by leading citizens, who regard the plan as a happy solution of many rural and small town problems. The chief object of the Community movement is to secure a closer’ relationship ‘be- tween the residents of rural communitites ‘and those of the towns and the villages, eon Realizing the. necessity for some action men of far-seeing vision in North Dakota have placed themselves behind the movement and are agitating it in all sections. Their efforts will bé closely watched by the rest of the country, as there are other places in the United States where organiza- tions of this character might render efficient service. It is especially interesting that the promoters of the Community movement has beer quick to grasp to possibilities resulting from. the harvest labor famine. Residents of the towns and vil- lages have volunteered in large numbers to as- sist the farmers in shocking grain: In’ many in- stances these services have, been most. helpful. ; Many townspeople entirely abandoned their own duties that they might devote their entire ener- gies to assisting the farmers; others have given half their time, while hundreds, whose, presence was absolutely required at their routine work dur- ing a greater part of the day, have hurriedly eaten their evening meals and rushed to the grain fields in autos to help collect the bundles as long as In fixing coal prices the price had to be high there was sufficient daylight. _ < enough to stimulate production by allowing a profit to the least efficient mines. \ This meant an abnormally high war profit to the most efficient mines. In fixing meat prices the same policy had to be pursued. The stock raiser had to get a price that would stimulate production, and the least efficient packer had to have a price that would give him a profit and keep him busy. That meant abnormal war profit for the highly efficient packing trust. There seerfied'to be no way to curb profiteering by}price fixing. The only way left to prevent pr@iteering was for the government to recover ex- cess war profit by ‘taxation. * That is, Uncle Sam had to let the efficient win!—Pioneer Press, : That this movement is proving. successful. is amply demonstrated by the numerous expressions of appreciation by the farmers to whose assistance these volunteers have gone. The harvest help has proved the opening wedge to the Community movement and has placed the plan on a thoroughly practical basis. ; While the Community movement, is a worthy one at any time and in any locality, it is especially opportune just now in North Dakota.” It. may prove of genuine service in allaying suspicion and removing bitterness engendered by the Townley league socialistic emissaries, who have endeavored to capitalize discontent and to foment strife and ' \ , Everything, except to be , Tightwads on the family tree!

Dear Sir: % fi In a last week s issue of your paper I noticed a very lengthy letter written by one “Rev.” Finwall and it seems to me that papers of your reputation should be more careful how you “slan- der” such noble men. ‘I had the pleas- ure of hearing the “Rev.” speak at this place some time ago and ‘because I offered him, or at his order, the Red Cross $50.00 if he would prove some of his wild statements I was promised with arrest within a week. In fact he did think he arrested me Iam very glad to know that some of Mr. Fin- wall's fam"y are patriots. Seems kind of good to know that they don’t all take’ after “Dad.” 1 wonder ‘if the “Rey.” is ever going to comé back after me as he promised. I leave for the army in a short time and would like to meet him before I go. .Maybe he would, be glad to know that the man that he slandered ¥o while here is, now doing his bit in a southern camp. Volunteered, by gosh! Come egain Finwall! We would like to know who that blind pigger wag that you chased out of town. Wher® did you get those twenty-seven barrels of liquor that you seized “south of town” and what did you do with it: Did you sell it or did you just tell a nice little lie about it and never find it? Who are those stockmen that you claim are bringing liquor into our town and why don’t you arrest them? Where is the town located in which you found such disgraceful conditions at a Red Cross dance? You, Finwall, who tried to insult me in public by saying ‘that “it would be a fine thing if men of my type would do something for the Red Cross.” I want to ask you how much you have done for your country and don’t you think you can do a little ‘better than go about obtaining . money “on the pre- Could you explain to the public how; if you were absent from home during the time your over-ration of sugar was obtained for your use, how was it that you. were counted in as a mem- jer of the family all that time and why don't your damily explain why they still were overdrawn. We sure are against tar and) feathers and must confess that k get somewhat excited when condemning such prctices but a thought of men of your type ought: to| bring me back to normal. You are some talker, Finwall, and perhaps you can ‘explain why you shouldn’t be placed out of harm's way. until after the war. I assure you you are a liar if you don't prove some of the assor- tions you made in your @#lk at Dris- coll. Explain any of them or not but come and get me as you promised. Be- lieving that 1 food s\acker and a pro- hun are equally useful to our coun- try, I beg to remain Respectfully, - L. H. LANGLEY.

The desperate malevolence of a Ger- man airman, who, falling to his death, tried to’“go west in style” by taking with him as many women and children as he could is graphically described by Mrs. Laura Forest of the American fund for French wounded in a letter from Epernay, where she had taken part in the evacuation of. a ‘hospital before the German advance and wit- nessed the fall.of the.Hun plane, The letter tells how the Boche even after he had fallen ‘deliberately -continued to fire upon noncombatant spectators, Mrs, Forest's letter follows: “It was just after breakfast on Sun- day when the guns announced the ap- Proach of an enemy plane and we crowded around the doors of. our ho- tel and watched what we’ thought was the successful carrying out of a dan- gerous move,.the sudden dropping down of the plane through the area of bursting shells and put of the reach of the guns. Right over the building he came, raking the street with ma- chine-gun fire—and’ then came such. a burst of joy from the throats of the people as is seldom heard: ‘Il est tombe! Il est tombe!’ (He has fallen.) “When I found myself I was run- ning with the men and women and children of Epernay, and with them I kept on running till the fallen plane was in sight. Wounded as the avia- tor was, he turned his machine gun on the crowd and. fired, killing a woman and a child. And still we ran on and found him and onty the arrival be a motor with the police let him live as long fis he did. He died within a few hours. The second man was buried under the machine and the crowd was well dispersed before he was brought out, badly wounded,:and carried away. I never heard whether he’ lived or died.” GIVES UP DESERTER SON Alabama Father Turns Him Over to Military Authorities, =‘ Starling Hicks, Jr., ‘alleged to have deserted his command at Camp Wheeler, Macon, Ga., two months ago, 1s back in the hands of military au- thorities, through the instrumentality of his father. The young man, who Is said to have hid in the woods near his home, at Jasper, Ala. after leaving camp,-was turned over to the authori- ties by his father, who had spent sev- eral nights in the woods before finding his son. 5 “It nearly broke my heart to have to arrest my own son and turn him over to. the authorities on so serious a charge,” the father told federal of- ficials; “but even if he is my;son I cannot harbor him‘as a deserter or countenance his action.” —_____ TAKES UP HUSBAND'S WOR! ‘Woman.
