RIFLE STRENGTH
 AND RATION STRENGTH

One effect of Winston Churchill's criticism Of the waste of men in the British army has been lively dis cussion of officers servants, of whom there are estimated to be some 20O,- 900 in France. A number of officers. have written to correct the popular assumption that these are merely ministers of comfort. spending their time at a gafe distance from the front, ties. It is pointed out that the servants go into the trenches with the officers and are equally exposed to danger. But this is not quite the point at which Colonel Churchill was driving. While incidentally he undertook to show that about a quarter of the army suffered the grea:1r part of the losses and risks, his main concern was to show that the rifle strength of the army was not in proportion to it's ration strength. Nor was he for malk- ing the officers black their own boots. for it was part of his argument that to a considerable extent the work of the servants might be done by natives. On the whole the effect of his search ing but temperateIy expressed crtti- cism has been wholesome. That in some measure it is justified may be taken for granted, for the evils which he attacked are precisely those which are most difficult to avoid or to eradi- cate. Rifle strength" is an index which canot be too focibly insisted upon.-Springheld Republican.

Buff Papers to be Fashionable

The first local indication Of the
color shortage will be noticed this
week by readers Of the Sheaf in the
shade of the paper used. This is a
natural or yellowish tint which shows
the absence of the blues necessary to
Ngive the sheet the white color with
which the reader is so familiar. This
action on the part of the Sheaf is not
one of choice, the fact being that the
mill the Sheaf gets it's paper from
is out Of coloring matter or is saw
ing whatever they may have.
Now that necessity has again given
us what resembles the straw paper
of other days, the public had better
pretend that it likes the change, as
it will do no good to protest. Soon,
we fear, all the newspapers and
magazines will have to follow suit
and become in fact yellow journals.

PREPARE EXHIBITS FOR
FARM CROPS SHOW

Will Marshall County farmers get
their full share of the $5,OOO.OO
worth of premiums that are to be
offered at the Fifth Annual Farm
Crops Show to be held at Crookston
the week Of Feb. 7th to 18th in
elusive? This depends solely on
whether the farmers of this county
get busy right now with their ex-
.hibits. Remember that it will not
take as good corn exhibits this year
to walk off with the bacon as it did
last year. Every county failed to
make the corn showing made last,
year, and if you have some fairly
good corn, select the best carefully
and enter it. With the grain there
should be a wonderful showing this
year, and there will be some splen-
did prizes offered. See to 1T that
Marshall County gets it's full quota
of blue ribbons, and the only way to
do this is for every farmer to get
into the game. If the farmers are
not interested, let them suggest it
to their sons, and help them to
make the selections of wheat, oats,
corn, barley, rye, flax, ETC., and get
into the game as progressive farm
ers. It will make better farmers
Of them and spur them on to great
er efforts next year. They have not
only the big association premiums to
strive for, but the county prizes as
well.
Another thing, plan on coming for
the entire week, or if that is i'm
possible, let some Of the family at
tend each day. The Farm Crops
Show is the great annual Clearing
House for the best farmers in the
Great Minnesota Red River Valley
Leading farmers will be heard, and
Stock y Raisers, Poultrymen, and
farmers who diversity will be pres
ent, as well as many Of the leading
speakers of the country, who will
not only give you food for thought
after you go home, but entertain
you. Attend this big annual event
and add your influence toward max
ing the. Minnesota Red River Valley
the most prosperous and most pro-
gressive agriculture empire in the
world.

Suddenly Summoned By Death.

Charles Russell Wood died sudden
" at his home in town of Bristlet,
at 6 o'clock on Saturday morning,
Jan. 8, 1916, the cause Of death being
apoplexy.
Deceased had been in his usual

ed the fatal stroke. On the evening
before he had brought his daughter,
Ruth, home from Warren, where she
lis attending school, and appeared to
be in a happy, jovial frame of mind
just as he always was. But He who
holds the lives Of all humans in the
hollow of his hand had in his wisdom
decreed to call this servant from the
toll and cares of this world to His
eternal rest.
Deceased was born at Wai3ror.
Ill.,, on April 9, 1860, hence his age
was IS years and some months at
the time of death. In the state of
Illinois he grew up, married, reared
a family and followed the occupation
Of farming until in the spring Of
1906, when he and family moved TO
Minnesota, settling on a farm that
had been purchased few miles
south of Warren Since com 'ng here,
deceased has become known as a
successful and progressive farmer,
and a good neighbor and citizen, who
was alweys willing to do his share,
and more than his share, for the up
building Of the new community. He
was genial and cheerful and always
ready to lend helping hand to those
needing assistance in one way or
another.
Decesed is mourned Immediately

the following children: Fred H.
Wood, Of Herscher, Ill; Arthur L.
Wood, who lives on a farm of his

ed the remains to Greenwood ceme-
terry, where they will rest until the
morn Of resurrection. Peace to the

munity extends its most heartfelt
