Pardon Our Mistakes.

1t has been said that There
are mistakes in the best of well
regulated families, and The
True Northerner and its family
do not claim to be exceptions to
this rule. We have made mis-
takes and we know it. There
fore we claim some credit for this
admission.
For several weeks we have
been handicapped for help in the
composing room, and much OF
our copy has been sent to a limo
type machine, which accounts
for some of the errors.
In last weeks issue. the item
announcing the arrival of twin
boys at the home of Chas. Waters
of Wyanet, Ill.,, son of Mrs, II.
p. Waters Of this place, was
made to read Mrs. H. p. Peters.
Another error, which was due to
the writer being misinformed,
was an item stating that Mr.. and
Mrs. George Tyler had gone to
the Sunny South. 1t should
have read California. These are
the errors that have been called
to our attention. There are
probably others, for which we
are sorry, and for which we ask
the indulgence Of our readers.
We are doing the best we can
and hope to become more prof
cient as we have more experience.

walton and at proper times in order to
secure desired results.
Mr.. Hale Tenant was detained with
Committee work on legislation, hence
could not fill the appointment How
ever the subject was lightly touched
by G.. E. Prater Jr and a thorough ex-
planation of the effects of existing laws
and proposed legislation on the Grape
Industry given.
He very forcibly called the attention
of the growers to the fact that while
some of the laws might cause a little
extra trouble that in each and every
case they would result in greater con-
fidence in the goods from this section
and materially increase consumption
of the fruit to far greater degree than
the little trouble it took to let the con-
package, who packed it and whether
the grower was using a full standard
eight pound basket or was trying to
palm off something that contained a
little less fruit at a little less price.
The matter of printing recipes of
various good things that can be made
from grapes and inserting them in the
baskets to increase the use of Grapes
and let the City Consumer have the
good things which many of them do
not know how to make was discussed
and voted to be tested out which was
the only business transacted as the
meeting was purely for educational
purposes.

INTERESTING WAR STORY
Continued from page l

should materialize Weighs is about
half hour ride on the boat from Luz
cerne and l was obliged to make the
trip every day if possible to learn the
news and seize the first opportunity 10
attract our party to any others which
might find a way out.
After Swiss mobilization the boats
which during the tourist season touch
Weighs every half hour on their usual
trips, were cut down to winter sched-
ule, about four day, two coming from
and two going to Lucerne, so it meant
that must leave early and make either
hurried tour of the Consuls office,
Cooks, the Holland American Steam
ship Co. Office, and the American Elk
IL a. m. and to A p, M, or else miss
the first boat and have to loaf an hour
or two waiting for the second. Twice
when papa felt that he must go to Lu-
cerne to arrange for passports he hired
a motorboat rather than wait. 1t was
beautiful ride but an expensive lux
ury just then when we did not know
how long we might have to stay there
nor how long our funds would hold out.
We had American Express CO. checks,
which, at one time were the only ones
being honored, at a discount however,
but for the first few days even these
were refused. People stood in crowds
outside of the Office waiting to draw
money, exactly like run on bank,
and when they finally began to cash
checks only few people were allowed
to enter at a time and these were let
out of rear door and every one re-
quested not to draw more than was alb
solutely necessary for the expenses Of
the day. In some banks a limit was
fixed as to the amount.
Then the Consul's Office was moved
from their small quarters to a restau-
rant nearby and the first morning ii
evergreen screens so commonly used
throughout Germany and Switzerland
had not yet been removed nor the
signs and pictures on the walls. But
the bare tables were crowded about
with people all Americans, filling out
passport applications. In a few days
temporary partitions and little Offices
had been arranged and each committee
was hard at work at their various du-
ties. Outside the Counsul's office the
sidewalk was blocked by people read
ing the bulletins posted in the windows
We had secured sailings on the Rot
terdam" before we left Bad-Nauheim IN
early July, so we were more fortunate
than the thousands of others who held
worthless tickets for the German
lines and yet we were uncertain wheth-
er or not the Holland-American line
would continue its service. We could
get no satisfaction from the agent
there at Lucerne nor from the telegram
sent to the main Office at Rotterdam.
Then, too, our tickets called for en-
barkation at Bologne, France, as we
had intended to go to that port by way
of Paris, which after war broke out
was, of course, impossible. So we
knew that if We were to sail on the
Rotterdam" we must get to that port
either through France or Germany,
and that seemed almost impossible, as
we did not think that papa would be
able to stand the long and tiresome, not
to say dangerous journey.
