THREE MILLION
BRITAINS NOW
ON WAR FRONTS
Arthur Bonar Law Makes
Address Before Great
War Aims Meeting.

| Manchester Eng, Nov 19.-The
| British chancellor of the excheouer.
Andrew Bonar Law. at q great war
aims meeting here recently reclared
that Great Britain could look to the
| future not only with hope. but with
absolute confidence. He said that
Great Britain's overseas force is more
than three million. adding: "a
| n1ightier force never existed
Great Britain had trebled the air
plane engine production since Octo-
iber. 1916.
| ''As for the submarine campaign, %
continued the chancellor. st can say
with certainty that it is not going to
bring us to our knees
Referring to the Italian situation,
Mr.. Bonar Law said:
I'VE are watching with the deepest
| anxiety what is happening in Italy
with deep anxiety. but not without
hope"
He believed the Italian army would
be able to stop the German advance
until aid had come from Great Brit
/ ain and France.
| He further said: U
| IA determined effort is being made
by a small section to frighten depos-
| itors. particularly small investors,
from lending money to the state by
saving that it is unsafe Nothing
could be more absurd. 1t IS also non
sense to say that the debt would be
might be. No investment in this
kingdom would be safe If that hap
pened. It would not be the loss of
our money we would think about
then"
| The meeting itself. said Mr. Bonar
Law. WAS proof that whatever the
cost. the nation did not intend that
that should be the end. He asserted
that the war loan launched early this
year was better than the governm emit
had expected. The government had
thought OF raising another loan this
autumn. but there were reasons which
made it desirable to try other meth
DDS He had. therefore, tried the ex-
pertinent of getting weekly the money
needed. and the bankers were eager
that this plan should be adopted.
/ London. Nov 19.-Field Marshal
Viscount French. commander of the
home forces. in speech declared
that Great Britain must be prepared
for any and every eventuality.
| For all we know he said, ''the
next surprise may be an invasion of
this country. Be ready, then, for any
| thing"
| Major General Sir F. N Macready,
Adiutant General of the Army, in a
statement asserted that Great Britain
still needs men. He could not give
exact figures. but declared: every
man that can be spared from indus
tries is intellectually needed. Every
woman that comes forward helps her
country by releasing man. We APP

/ George III. Roberts. minister Of Ia
Dor. also made a statement in which
he declared that the war will be won
by the allies. whatever setbacks the
allies may suffer.

be made to acknowledge mis- guilt
and shame. His crimes are crimes
against civilization. We cannot have
an inconclusive peace"

Mrs St Brain

Miss Eugenla Roy was called
to the bedside Of her Grandmoth-
er, Mrs. st Brain, at Springer,
last Friday. She returned Mon
day for a few hours to arrange
for the care Of the Roy home and
returned the same day to be with
the old lady in what is believed
to be her last days on earth.
Mrs. st Brain is well known
here and held in highest esteem
by her many friends. :.
Later Mrs. St Brain died Mon
day night and the body was TAX
en- to Mora for interment. Miss
Roy has been absent all the week
in attendance at her deathbed
and funeral obsequies.

Sunday morning the thermora-

was a mighty cold morning. 1t
moderated in the afternoon to
the extent that we accepted an
invitation to go riding with Car
los Branch and Miss Worley. IL
was a fine ride and we have pro-
missed not to tell about getting
hung up on a High Center" but
anyway it was cold enough to
make the fire a positive luxury
when we returned at the end of
thirty miles, ~
Carlos has a fine Studebaker

hardly to be expected of him
that he would fail to entertain a
lady merely to keep the car out

No New County

Alvarado County, the county
we all wanted and ought to have
had, died the usual natural death
in the Legislature last week.
1t was lickedinto shape by our
Representative, Frank Roy, as
sisted by parties from here in
whom we had confidence and who
knew what ought to be. 1t was
presented on its merits and not
being a political scheme and only
asking for mere justice, it found
scant sympathy in the legislative
mill.
The measure passed the lower
house by a vote of 22-23, the
Speaker casting the deciding
vote for it.
This however was after its
death sentence had been pro-
nounced in the Senate by the
passing of a resolution that no
more County Bills would be con-
sidered this session.
1t is well understood who
"Spragged'! the Senate and why
and it will likely be remembered
when the time comes that the
majority can and willrule. It's a
long lane that has no turn and
those who selfishly believe their
Vested Rights" are imperish-
able will have another guess a.
long with an object lesson in
civilization.
The history of other states
shows that the range interests
have had to go before the farmer
just as the indian had to go be-
fore the cattle and sheep man
and it will be SO here and by the
same token the sooner it comes
the better for all as history has
also proven many a time.

Birthday Party

Last Saturday was Miss Phoebe
Russels birthday and the girls Of
her Tequezquite Mesa Camp
Fire, planned and executed a
surprise for the occasion. They
secured the cooperation Of the
Boy Scouts and the two organi-
cations went together to her
home with and heedin,s for a
feast, a box of splendid Ameri-
can Beauty roses and an unlimit-
ed supply Of admiration and loy-
atty for their leader of the Camp
Fire.
1t was a very pleasant affair
all around and all,who took part
in it as well as the recipient Of
their offering are happy over it.

1t will not be necessary to date
events on the Mesa from the
storm nine years ago when Roy
Wood was blown away or the
Easter storm four year ago, or
the big snow storm 6 years ago.
The wind storm of Tuesday
with the accompanying dust is
bad enough to reckon from and
forget the others. 1t is remark
able that very little damage re-
suited from it but the dust is
swept clean from the streets and
the houses have been subjected
to busting since to make it hab-
liable. And then to have such an
ideal day following seems like
carrying contrasts to the extreme
even for the weather man.

Our eastern friends who are
worrying about our safety should
save up their worries until we
tell them it is time. Old Mexico
is about as likely to start serious
trouble with US as they are with
Texas and all know that is a joke
Better waste your sympathies on
poor benighted Old Mexico, the
Goat of the most heartless spoil
alton ever attempted by man
with a lust for the property Of
others. The spoilers of Old
Mexico are the men to be feared
not the so called Bandits.

Dear Sir We beg to acknow-
ledge receipt of your favor of the

Light VS. Power

A householder was dismayed
one night by the sudden extin-
guishment of the electric lights
in his house. Unable at that
hour to secure the services Of an
expert electrician the household
er hit upon the happy scheme Of
detaching the batteries from his
doorbells and connecting them
with his electric feed wires.
But no light resulted. Next day
the experts came to remedy the
trouble, and seeing the hapless
expedient of the owner; remark
ed:
Don't you know that it takes
500 times more power to produce
light than it takes to produce
noise?"
There is the whole situation in
a nut shell. We are troubled
with low-voltage statesmen, the
tiny dry cells of whose brains
are just powerful enough to make
unceasing racket while great
dynamic minds that might food
the world with legislative light
and wisdom are disconnected
from the machinery Of govern
ment. Ex.

In speaking of the proposed $4,000
bridge and dam to be built at the out
let of Lake Koronis in Meeker county,
the Litchfield Ledger has the follow
ing to say:
Hon. R. B. Brewer of St. Cloud. an.
peared before the Board of County
Commissioners of this county on
Thursday last, and submitted a profile
of the proposed improvement planned
at the outlet of Lake Koronis in case
Meeker county consented to the emp.
tying of the big Stearns county ditch
into and thru the lake into Crow riv.
er. The plan contemplates the build.
ing of a one hundred and twenty foot
concrete bridge and dam with a water
spillway that will take care of the ex.
ira water and at the same time hold
the waters of lake Koronis at their
natural height. The plan was approv:
ed by the board the proposition &C.
cepted by them. The cost of the i'm
prOvement is estimated to be in the
neighborhood of $4,000, the expense
to be borne by the ditch petitioners
who will be thus benefited, conse
quently all the Meeker county board
had to look out for was the preserva
ton Of the lake and that the value Of
property along Crow River was not
damaged. It is big project, drain
ing land as far northwest as Pope
county and costing over one hundred
thousand dollars.
