COMPANY 4, G BOYS.

Cead mile failthe, which is Irish for
a; hundred thousand welcomes, to. the
boys Of Company G, Third MINI. Inf.
We are. proud Of you one and all.
Last June, In response; to your coun-
try's call, as voiced by our president,
you left your homes and avocations,
bid adieu to your loved ones, and with
your comrades proudly marched to the
Southland. ! *c7 - RI. " =: &
Fortunately you were not called
upon to meet an enemy on the field of
battle, and your ranks have not been
decimated by death. But you were
there ready and willing to perform I'M
complainingly any duty that might
devolve upon you. ,t-.
For six months you have had your
share Of trials and tribulations, and
suffered many of the privations that
fall to the lot Of soldier.
Had you been put to the test on the
battlefield we are confident you
would have acquitted yourselves as
Minnesotans always have in the past
when called upon to uphold the honor
and dignity of their country. a|"
Your conduct on the border has
been exemplary. Not a single demerit
mark is recorded against a member Of
the company. 1t is record of which
you may we'll feel proud, and it is
a record highly gratifying to your
friends in Mile Laos county.
During your absence our thoughts
were continually with you. We. are
glad and thankful that you are home
with us again with health and strength
unimpaired, and with grateful hearts
we welcome you back.
God bless and prosper each and
every one Of you.

AS far as active fighting is con-
cerned in the European war the
French and Germans seem to be do
ing the major share Of it. Occasion
ally the British do little skirmishing,
once in while the Russians stop long
enough to let the Germans get within
gunshot of them, and as for the Ital-
ians they are apparently negligible

The Federal INVESTIGATION of the
rise in newsprint paper prices has
brought to the light Of day the fact
that it cost no more to manufacture
paper in the first half of 1916 than in
1915. And selling expenses were low
er in 1916. The paper barons have
continued to boost prices, however,
and are exacting profits beyond all
reason. Their greed may yet cause
them to stumble.

The Federal department Of agricul-

to the problem Of the proper market
ing of farm products, and a bureau of
markets has been established. This
is move in the right direction. If
there is one thing that the average
farmer is interested in more than any
thing else it is the question of how he
can market his products at a fair
profit,

The Florida Times Union scores a
bullseye in discussing an embargo on

A German officer, writing in the
Berliner Tageblett, holds America re-

make submarine warfare dangerous to
travellers at sea. German officers are
usually possessed of average intelli-

lieves the perverted views he paraded
before his countrymen.

EXERCISE AND
CRECIAN BEAUTY
WHAT IT MEANS.

Many thousands of women are now
a-days paying attention to physical cul-
tiirc and the proper exercise of their
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no thought
expended on this science which is
quite necessary to physical beauty. The
reason the Greeks, both men and
women, excelled in beautiful and SYM
metrical forms was because of the at
else. Then, too, they were untrari-
meled by corsets, shoes and the in
conveniences of clothing. To the minds
of some women the idea of physical
exercise conveys only the idea of hard
fatig,iing work. Mild exercise con-
tinued day after day is best for the
body and spirits and health. With
out proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty
