Shot August Peterson's Cow.

A COW owned by August Peterson,
farmer living north Of the city nine
miles, was shot by one of the neigh
bors. The cow had strayed into the
neighbours yard and the man becom-
ing angry, shot the critter in the
shoulders. The COW was later killed.
The man was arrested but he agreed
to pay for the COW and this proved
satisfactory to Peterson, so the case
has been dropped.

JUDGED BY WORDS AND ACTS

Again last week, President Wilson
in q public speech declared that the
people need fear no war, because
those who desire war will fail in
electing the president they want.
Could q more cowardly appeal for
votes be made than that? Could a
more cringing confession be made
by q president who in simulated rage
sent our whole Atlantic fleet to Vera
Cruz on the spoken assumption that
the flag had been dishonored?
What is it except a confession that
his whole performance then was but
a sorry, insincere bluff intended to
influence the then impending con-
g~ressional election? OF the same ma
ture and for the same purpose that
he a few months ago broke out In a
scream for preparedness, and later
rushed a bill thru congress to fix
the days labor of a certain class of
employees at eight hours without In
vestigating whether the demand was
just or not, tho $50 600, 600 of the
peoples money per annum was in
yolved in the transaction.
And that, too, under q threat Of
hose men that 1t must be done with
n five days. or they would smash
things? Who believes that Presiden'
Wilson would have done what he did
hen, had the proposition come three
years sooner or had been postponed
% four months later?
No American wants war until the
situation becomes such that not to
tight would be a disgrace. and no
seal American, for the sake of peace.
wants a compromise made at tn
sacrifice of justice and honor. and
which leaves Americans the prey Of
'ust and the desire of bandits for
flood and loot.-Goodwin's Weekly.

Well, hardly. A careful examination

1t is not an exaggeration to say that

as the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen is concerned. They have
been Instructed" how to vote this
year by W. @. Lee. president OF that
order. Some time ago Mr.. Lee sent
to every Trainmen's lodge in the
country a letter ''instructing" the
members who to vote for for presi-
dent. 1t was supposed that the mem
beers would obey this mandate with
out further word from Mr.. Lee. But
the democratic national COMMITTEES
last week again called upon Mr..
Lee to cline up his men" The call
was the result of the split in the
labor forces over the attempt OF
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, to
deliver the solid labor vote to Presi-
dent Wilson. Mr.. Lee promptly re-
sponded with a lengthy statement
attacking the Railway Workers Non
partisan association, which refused
to follow Mr.. Gompers into, the demo.
cratic camp.
MIR. Lee says in his second appea
that he desires the trainmen to re.
member the circular Of instruc
TONS which he sent out the frs
of October. 1t was this Circular o.
instructions" which had the approx
al of Mr.. Gompers, that called forti
the first split In labor forces on thu
part of the Carpenters and JoinerI
of America, who insisted that Mr.
Hughes record as governor Of New
York entitled him to a "~fairer" state
ment than he and Gompers hat
made.
In the past we have heard a grea
deal about church influence" beinl
used in politics In Utah and Idaho
but the leaders of the Mormon
church never attempted to exert sucl
influence over the members of tina
church as w. G. Lee is attempting
to exert over the members of hi
brotherhood in this campaign. Wha
is surprising, too, is that here in tn
west hundreds of the Railway Train
men who have bitterly denounce
the alleged church influence. i
politics In the past are now bowin
In submission to the orders OF Pres
dent Lee. 1t is a pitiful case of pol
tical servitude, such as we suppose
could not prevail in this free Ian
of ours.

after the Franco-Serbian forces had
wrested the naturally powerful posi-.
tions on the Cerna river from the Bull,
garians and Germans, at the same
time smashing the southern ap.
proaches.
Screening the gradual evacuation OF
the city, the~defenders battled stub,

The fall of Monastir to the allies is
regarded here as the greatest achieve

overshadowing in moral respects even
the success on the Somme. Military
experts concede that it is victory OF
moral rather than strategic import

that it would have had tremendous eff

Kidney Disorder
(By DIR. V. NJ. PIERCE.)

The most simple methods are usu-
ally the most effective ones when
treating any disorder of the human
system. The mere drinking a cup of
hot water each morning, plenty
of pure water all day, and a little
Anuric before every meal has been
found the most effective means Of
overcoming kidney trouble. Death
would occur if the kidneys did not
work day and night In separating
poisons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
depressions, pains, heaviness, drowsi-
ness, irritability, headaches, chilliness.
rheumatic twinges, swollen joints or

Since it is such a simple matter to
step into your favorite drug store and
obtain Anuric, anyone Who earnestly
desires to regain health and new life
VIII waste no time in beginning this
treatment.

extraordinary requirements of the
European armies. is urged by the In
ternational Institute of Agriculture,
which has made the most extensive
report it has issued since the war be-
gan. The institute says all nations are
confronted with grave situation.
1t is estimated that at least $780,
100000 bushels of wheat will be con-
sumed in the year ending July 81,
1917, and that at the end of this period
the worlds surplus supplies of wheat
will have decreased to 46,000,000 bu-
shells. The report says 1t is only on
account of the fact that last years
harvests were abundant, leaving a bal
ance Of 350,OO0,O0O bushels, that there
is available sufficient wheat for the
year ending with next July.
The worlds surplus of five cereals
wheat, rye, barley, oats and corn--is
placed at 533,000.000 bushels. This in
cludes the unexplorable Russian stocks
and also the stock of Roumania and
Bulgaria. The surplus of oats is placed
at 166,000,000 bushels. A general
scarcity of fodder is expected.
The total Russian stocks of wheat
now stored which, if military condi-
lions permitted would be available for
export at the next harvest, are esti-
mated at 300,000,000 bushels.
