For when God made promise TO

dured, he obtained the promise.

Wherein God, willing more abun-
dainty to shew unto the heirs Of pro-

confirmed it by an oath:
That BY two immutabie things, IN
which IL was impossible for God to
lie, we might have a strong consola-

Which hope We have as an anchor

WHERE ARE STEVENS
COUNTY BOYS LOCATED?
Correct Address Wanted Of Every
Man From This County in Army
or Navy

This Office is very anxious to re-
wise its honor rolf and wants the
correct address of every man from
Stevens county now serying his
country in any branch Of the army
or navy Parents and friends Of the
soldiers and sailors will do us q fav-
or by sending or phoning their ad-
dresses by the first of next week.
BY doing this little service, you
will not only do us a favor but will
also render a service to the boys
themselves, as people in this locality
are anxious to keep track Of the
boys so they can write to them and
send them letters of cheer.
Attend to this at once and don't
wait for someone else to do 1t.
Besides The Tribune, the Christ
mas box committee are anxious to
learn the addresses of all the soldier
and sailor boys In order that they
may know where to send the boxes
they are preparing. Those having
the information are asked to write or
phone to Mrs. G.. w. Geenty, chair
man.

One Way to Save

The railroads find themselves very
short Of cars at the present time and
the Hutchinson Leader suggests that
ony way to eliminate lot Of seem-
ingly unnecessary freight business is
for them to decline to haul -four in
to a town in which there is good
mill. At Hutchinson and the nearby
towns they have modern -four mills
making high-grade -four and yet
these towns are constantly shipping
-four back and forth, taxing the
transportation system when it is not
necessary. People can and should
use -four from their home mill and
help the car situation besides pat
ronizing home industry.
No doubt the same thing is hap
pening 1T Morris and the nearby
towns. Morris has one Of the best
-four mills in the state, and by using
their product can make 1t unneces-
sary to ship -four in from outside
places.

COMPANY "a CALLED
TO CITIES TUESDAY
Eleven Companies Of Home Guards
in State Called to Help Prs-
serve Peace

At four o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
Company "a. Morris Home Guards.
received orders to report at st. Paul
as soon as possible and Immediately
the members began to make arrange
ments for their departure. Captain
p. L. Spooner called his men togeth-
er before supper and they received
their instructions and were ready to
take the train for the cities at mid
night.
When the Morris men organized
the Home Guards they did not dream
that they would go into actual SER
vice, but when the time came for
leaving every man was ready to go
and very few asked to be excused.
even tho their going meant a great
inconvience to their business. The
following morning some business
places were short as much as four
men and nearly every business home
furnished from one to two men. The
city seemed rather empty with so
many of its men and young men
gone.
As soon as it was known that the.
men had to go, several women Of
fered to taketheir places in the btlsi-
ness section If 1t was necessary.
Wells Bros. Hanson Co. were SO
short that they called on Miss Minnie
Hanson to assist them, but as far
as we have learned this was the only
place that has not tried to get along
with the forces left.
In all eleven companies of Home
Guards were called to the cities from
the outside by Gov. Burnquist to as
sfst the special deputy sheriffs and
special police Of st. Paul in the pre-
sewation Of peace in connection
with the street car strike in the
Twin Cities. This strike was first
caused by the union carmen refusing
to take off their union buttons, as orr
dered by the Public Safety Commits
sion, and 1t has grown worse since
other unions have taken up the fight

the battle fields Of Europe and tell
ing of the horrors Of war. Some of
the things he said were: These
men are doing their duty as citizens.
This Is not q war Of men so much as
it is a war Of things. There Is more
shot, shell and powder used in three
days In the present war than was
used in the entire Civil war. The
government Is at present building
SO, 900 airplanes to preserve our ma
tion- and 1t is time for us all to take
our place in this great conflict. The
world is playing for big stakes and
1t is a privilege for these young men
to go out and play such big part
in the present conflict. Our boys
are in the trenches now and millions
more are going. We at home must
do our "bit" in the way Of support
ing the Red Cross and the Y. M. G.
A. These institutions are doing un-
told good for the boys at the front. !"
Mr.. Murphy closed by saying, "The
principle of right and the principle
of might cannot both live at the
same time in this world"
James B. Ormond closed the eve
ning's program. He said, ut is with
a mingled feeling of pleasure and re-
gret that we say goodbye to these
young men, but we know they are
doing their duty and we honor them
for the stand they have taken. Our
cause is just and many will lose
their lives in order to preserve this
nation, but they will not have died
in vain. When the day comes that
war is over, some will return and
some not, but the dead will be hon
ored with the living"
After the program in the dining
room was over those present took
the opportunity of shaking hands
with Mr.. Stone and Mr.. Berkin and
wishing them goodbye and good
luck

cessary to procure Red Cross nurse
for one week. The seals are now on
sale at various stores and will also
be placed in the hands Of school child
dren for sale and the more seals that
are sold the longer the Red Cross
nurse will stay.
The visiting Red Cross nurse
who will work here for a week or
more, will carry on careful exam
ination of each child in the schools.
She will examine their general
health, their eyes, nose, throat and
teeth. Each child will be registered
and a full report will be found on
his registry card after the nurse gets
through with him. If she finds the
child affected by adenoids, the par
ents will be notified or If in any
other particular he is not normal
the parents will be told Of his condi-
tion. The nurse will give public lee
lures. If the public wishes them and,
no doubt, arrangements will be made
for at least one public lecture. She
can do a great good here.
The services Of a Red Cross nurse
are given as prize to the communi-
ties purchasing a certain number Of
Red Cross Christmas seals. The
money raised from the sale Of seals
is used to defray this expense, and
also to carry on the general fight on
tuberculosis in the state at large.
The greater part Of the funds with
which to make war on tuberculosis
has been obtained for decade by
the sale of Red Cross seals. This Is
an annual pref Christmas enterprise
and war conditions have made II
necessary that more money than ever
before be raised in this way.
tuberculosis claims an annual
economic loss Of wages alone, in the
United States or almost $500,000,-
900, much Of which is entirely pre-
ventable. There could be no COM
mon effort more worth while.

FISHING PERMITTED
IN SHALLOW LAKES
Game Warden Goodell viii Inspect
Lakes Where Fish May Die
During the Winter

On account Of the danger Of fish
freezing out Of shallow lakes during
the winter and especially in order
to increase the available food supply
and stop waste, the game and fish
commission is permitting promiscu-
ous fishing in certain shallow lakes
about the state.
Game Warden Goodell, Of this dis
trict, has already opened for promis-
cuous fishing the lake a mile west of
Donnelly, and also few sloughs
around Donnelly. The full list has
been posted in the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank at Donnelly. Mr..
Goodell has recently been in North
ern Minnesota, but a letter from him
states that he will return next week
and as soon as he gets back he will
investigate conditions in Stevens
county, and If there are any more
places where fish are In danger Of
dying thru the winter, he will get
permit for the same and let the
people go. ahead and get the fish in
any way they can. If any person
knows of any such slough or lake in
which the water is SO low that the
fish will probably die. during the
winter, he is invited to communicate
either with this Office or with Mr..
Goodell.
Mr.. Goodell is efficiency itself

game. In personal letter, he writes
of his work in Northern Minnesota,
and tho the letter was not written
for publication, we feel sure that his
friends here will be interested in the
following extract !.

to do, and am doing it. I made three
