DON'T RELAX.

The phenomenal success that
the campaign for the war suffer-
ers' relief fund has so far met in
the Twin Cities may, we fear, re-
suit in relaxation of effort to
reach the final goal we have set
for ourselves. Not that the man.
ayers and chief workers will not
continue as active, Industrious and
jealous as they have been since the
enterprise was launched. But we
fear that the public at large may
become Indifferent and apathetic.
The success so far has in a large
measure been due to the general
enthusiasm aroused in the COM
munities. It was the interest and
zeal displayed by the rank and file
that have made it possible.
To continue such interest and
enthusiasm it may be necessary
to have another mass meeting in
the near future. Our aim should
be to allow no self-supporting
member of the community to fail
to make contribution to the fund
according to his capacity. In every
such communal endeavor there are
always some who are overlooked,
and who don't seem to be sorry
for being overlooked. That should
not happen in our present under
taking. Don't relax!

FLOWER DAY.

A day of special significance to
Zionists is the annual Flower Day
which this year has been set for
Sunday, the goth of this month.
Young ladies are generally the
flower-vendors who meet the pas
serby on the street with pleasant
smile and a little flower for his
button hole, for which the one so
favored gives a coin in return. The
money thus collected goes to the
National Fund, the fund used for
the redemption of Palestine's soil
as collective possession of the
Jewish people. The little flower is
thus reminder to the Jew of our
desire, to cultivate the soil of Pa
lestine and to make the land of
Israel, land flowing again with
milk and honey.

MANS TRUE RELIGION

MAN . 1nOL
If you wish to know mans
true religion, don't ask him about
his creed, his church utilization, or
his theological ideas. These are
largely matters of chance, habit,
early training, bent of mind, and
intellectual force and grasp. Some
people cannot help being more
credulous than others, or more
sceptical than others. Always
judge man by his actions as
test of his real faith, the faith he
lives by.
To what church does the Min
neapolis Christian gentleman, Mr..
Clemmings, belong, who unsolic-
tied contributed $500 to the fund
for the Jewish war sufferers re-
lief? We do not know. But we
do know what his religion is. 1t
is the religion of old Abou Ben
Adhem, the religion of those who
love their fellowmen.
A similar instance is recorded
in a letter sent out by the Amer
lean Jewish Relief Committee. For
the benefit of our readers we repro
duce the letter:

ZIONISM'S PROGRESS.

An ancient bard of Israel sings:
"When the Lord restored lions
captivity we were like dreamers."
The restoration was like sweet
dream. They could hardly believe
the testimony of their senses. 1t
was almost too good to be true.
We have the same feeling in re-
gard to the Zionist movement at
the present time. The wonderful
progress it has made in the last
few months all over the world over
whelms with joy it's most ardent
adherents. In Russia it is now one
of the matters that are receiving
the most careful and kindly at
tention and consideration on the
part of Jews and non-Jews alike.
The Provisional Government is
giving it the recognition to which
it's Importance entities it. The
Jews are everywhere organizing
for more efficient activity and in
preparation for the great day when
our hopes shall be realized. The
other allies, and especially Eng
land, the advance of whose armies
in Palestine and Mesopotamia is
creating panic among the Turks,
are talking seriously about Jewish
republic in Palestine under English
or United States protection. Here
the movement is gaining new
friends and followers among our
leaders every day, and our gov
eminent is willing and ready to
give our effort to all possible as
sistance when the time for the
presentation Of our claims comes.
History is making big forward
strides nowadays, and Zionism is
making them faster than any 9TH
err movement or enterprise.

THE ZIONIST CONVENTION.

The Zionist Convention, which
is to take place next month in
Baltimore will far surpass in i'm
portance all the preceding conven-
tions of American Zionists. For
the first time in the history of the
movement, the representatives of
Zionist organizations will be able
to look forward to something
tangible, and if not certain, at
least, highly probable in the way
of establishing a Jewish state in
the land of their fathers. It is
not at all improbable that the en-
tire movement will experience a

HIGH COST OF LIVING
No CAUSE To FEAR SHORTAGE
FOOD PLENTN-pEOPIE
CAUSE SHORTAGE.

According to letters sent out by
prominent wholesalers. the present
high price Of foodstuffs is not caused
by the boarding by the great ware
houses and wholesalers. nor Yet the
manufacturers, but by the buyers
themselves. The rush by the con
sumner to get in supplies against the
time when prices will become pro
hibitive. or such time as the supplies
may not be available at all. is the
cause. il is said. The consumer is
the hoarder. and il is the rush and
congestion Of traffic caused by his
wide buying that is knocking the
prices higher and higher with every
passing day.
This wild and hysterical buying of
supplies has caused the apparent
shortage. according 10 u inform
ant. and the high prices now preya-
lent are the direct results. When
the private boards Of goods have
been acquired. and the manufactur-
ers cease having calls for the great
orders there will be a period of re
action, and not only prices viii SUI
fer. but labor will also be without
work The wholesalers counsel
moderation in the buying of supplies,
as well as economy in their use, ar
guing that the country needs the
st%eadiness of business during the
stress OF war quite as much as at any
other time. And unless the boarding
and wild buying ceases. that period
of %stagnation will surely follow.
The old crop is not wholly X
hausted. The new crop is good, in
the latitude where it is not too early
to make a forecast. There is abso-
lutely nothing to cause the public
10 rush wildly into a panic of buy
ing, and the extreme will end only
in a reaction and disaster. There is
not the shortage Of food proclaimed,
and the soil will produce again-a
thing which the buying public seems
to have lost sight of.

MADISON BUNCH.
According TO latest adyices from

According TO latest advices from
Washington the bill authorizing the
army and navy departments to make
selective drafts to fill the ranks Of
their men will pass. and probably by
Monday it viii be a law. As all
know, the assessors throughout the
country are prepared with lists of
men qualified for service. And from
these lists the officers can select ac-
tual names or men and compel them
to join the ranks. The matter is not
one to be considered i'm the thought
that the government does not know
your name, age, size and availability
for they do. and Will call on YOU now
within a short time.
1t is purposed to make Sunday a
Loyalty day for Madison. a meet
ing was held last night i'm the fire
mems hall. and it was decided to call
on all civic and mercantile organiza-
tions for a demonstration of their
loyalty There are TO be speakers,
band, flags and a good parade. In
view of the fact that the full number
of men have not yet been raised for
the troop of cavalry forming here, il
is accounted 10 be "A good time to
show something of the kind. Mad
ison should take hold of the thing
and push it with yigor, for il mea

This troop is to be a permanent
institution for the city. If the war
closes within the period of enlist
ment. the troop will be kept i'm train
ing here. The city must do it's part
for it. though. 1t is proposed that
the BAN park be given over TO the
use of the troop as a training ground.
and a stable built for the 80 horses
which will be maintained for the
training Of the men. For the feed
and care of the horses $240 per
month are paid by the government,
and the whole troop is kept i'm equip
ment and paid a quarter of their reg
ular army pay.
City officers have expressed their
willingness TO help i'm obtaining suf-
ficient stabling and barracks quar-
ters for the post. The horses must
have stables and feed. and the five
men i'm attendance on the animals
must also have quarters. The troop
of cavalry would be something out of
the ordinary as a good thing for
Madison. both as a feature of curios-
ity and of financial return.
The success of the last effort at
enlisting the rest of the fun quota
Sunday marks the success or defeat
of the enterprise. Col. BOYD Wales
and Adjt. Gen. w. A. Morris will be
here for taking names and making
examinations. Monday these Off

ment to come for you and send YOU

OVERPLUS OF FISH
DEPUTY STATE GAME WARDEN
HAWLEN GIAE~ His SIDE
OF CONTROVERSY.

To the Editor viii YOU please
give me space i'm your paper for the
following explanation in regard TO
the fish controversy. the facts OF
which are as follows
For a number of wears the people
of Madison and vicinity have been
asking us if we could take part OF
the suckers out Of Lake Madison.
Last spring We made arrangements
with a man who lives I'm Madison To
do the work and | came here TO help
him. but upon my arrival | was dis
appointed as he had changed his
mind and did not care to attempt the
Job. This year we sent for a man
who was familiar with the business
and had the equipment for doing the
work. After a trap had been install
ed | found that the people wanted
more or less of these suckers. ! gave
instructions that anyone coming to
the trap when the boys were work
ing were to be given a reasonable
amount of fish for their own private
use. The result is that We have Civ
en- away over 1900 pounds Of suck
ers at present.
NUN J AlNi ~ 81 +AAA AAN O.
appearing i'm yesterdays local papers
We're misleading namely, the state
ment as to Mr.. Keller taking either
Mr.. H%ayighorst or myself to the Of
flee of the deputy states attorney is
false. These are the facts: Mr..
Keller called Mr.. Havighorst and my
self over the phone Wednesday even
ing and asked if we would come TO
his office the following morning at =
o'clock. | asked him If he would not
come to the hotel. He said he was
going TO Flandreau at 8 o'clock and
he would appreciate ii if we would
come to his office. We called the
next morning at s o'clock and met
the deputy states attorney, Mr..
Farmer. and Mr.. Keller. After talk
ing the matter over ! told Mr.. Farm
er ! was working under the super
vision Of the state fish and game
commission and still intended 10 do
as instructed, but that | wanted to be
fair and although the mesh of the
trap was large enough to give free
passageway to all fish except suckers
| consented to remove enough of the
trap to permit a part of the suckers
to run past. Mr.. Farmer thought
such was more than satisfactory.
In conclusion / desire to state
that we have shipped 1900 pounds
of suckers out of the state. In addi-
ton we have sold 400 pounds of bull
heads in the state and none going
outside.
These are the facts as nea as !
can give them, and | hope that the
good people of Madison will realize
that we are here in the interest of
the lake and not for personal gain.

Deputy State Game Warden.

The O'Neill company has sources
of information of every element en-
tering into the contracting game. BY
bulletins and messages the company
had at their finger ends even the

From this source he told Mr.. Blagen
