RESPECTS 10 SOLDIER BOYS

Friday has been set apart as pat.
riotic day" when the people OF Ida
Grove, Odebolt and Dcnison and other
localities in the neighborhood are to
pay their respects to the soldier boys
now in training at Ida Grove and who
are soon to be transferred to per-
manent training camp where they will
receive the necessary training before
being transported to the war zone in
Europe. We understand a full and
complete program has been arranged
for the day and that a supreme effort
will be made to impress upon the sol
diers the deep and abiding affections
;of the people of this part of Iowa. Den
iison will probably send d much larger
crowd than on the occasion lew
weeks ago when the Denison soldiers
were called to Ida Grove for temper
AIRY training. We are pleased to know
that such a unanimous sentiment or
loyalty and good will is shown upon
the part of all the people toward the
soldier boys. Everyone realizes that
this perhaps will be the last public
demonstration in the nature of re-
ception to the boys before they will

We all realize the dangers to
which they will be exposed after they
leave for Europe We sincerely hope
that our people will rise to the occa-
sion and make such a demonstration
as will convince those who believe
the country is taking no interest in
the war, that there is a deep and pro-
found interest in the war and In those
who are sent to fight the battles OF the
country Every person who has an
automobile fit for use should devote
it to taking relatives and friends of the
soldiers who are not able to provide
means Of conveyance. On the former
occasion when number of our people
went to Ida Grove, with the soldiers,
complaint was made because a num-

a large number as a matter, of display
and for the sake of a joy ride, made
the trip. This is entirely wrong and
does not show the proper spirit. We
urge upon every individual owning
car to see to it that not relative or
friend of the soldiers shall remain be-
hind at home because Of the want of
means of transportation. The fam
lilies of those who own cars were in
evidence on the former occasion and
they should consider it a privilege
to stand aside in favor of those who
are interested but not able to secure
means of transportation. II it turns
out that a large number Of cars go

NO "sAcRIFIcEs" YET.

Have you heard one of the men
home from Fort Smelling talk about
the sacrifice he is making for his
country?
Have you ever heard a man wear
ing the uniform of Company B men
ton the word?
Their example should make us a
little less SNUG in our talk of "sacri-
fees" being made for the war.
Few who are not wearing the uni
form of Uncle Sam. have made sacri-
fees worthy of the name. 1t was no
sacrifice to buy Liberty bonds, no
matter what the amount. 1t was an
investment.
Few have given to the Red Cross
until it involved any real sacrifice.
We have doled out a few dollars to
the Y. NJ. C. A. and a few dollars to
the Home Defense league.
We haven't reached the point of
making sacrifices yet-except those
who have made the decision to go,
and those dear ones who have seen
them leave. The rest of us might
call the little we have done "privi-
lepes"

the stocks of poultry, eggs. and
cheese in the various storage plants
on the same date.
By carefully burrowing into these
statistics, one can emerge triumph
atty holding aloft the facts that the
total holdings OF creamery butter
as compared with a year ago, de-
creased 90 per cent; stocks Of frozen
and cured meats increased per cent;
stocks of lard increased 4 per cent:
stocks of cheese increased 80 per
cent; stocks of eggs increased 7 per
cent; stocks of frozen eggs increased
100 per cent; stocks of frozen poultry
increased 366 per cent.
Those tables of cold storage hold
ings are bewildering. Chat with the
corner grocer some evening, and he
will tell you it is almost impossible
to get good cheese. He couldn't have
read those statistics. If he had, he
would have seen that cheese is 80
per cent more plentiful than it was
year agdS Perhaps nobody reads
statistics in these busy days. But at
least it is gratifying to know, as we
pay 35 cents a pound for common
cheese and feel that we are getting
one of the few last pounds left in the
world. that the cold storage stocks
have increased 80 per cent in a year.

War Offers Opportunity to Bring

Harmony-one Englishman's

Among the British officers who
have been over here on duties con-
nected with the war is Captain H.
LEROY, now First Assistant Superin-
tendent Royal Arsenal, Woolwich,
where he is in charge of the she'll

ter from his pen in The London
Times of April "a seemed to indicate
that the captain thought enough of
his experiences in the "U. S. A." to
feel impelled to talk about them to
his countrymen:

Captain LEROY is like a good many
other Englishmen who have been
over here and who have gone back
with a heart full of love for this
country. There never was q time

HARDLY KNOW THEIR CHILD.

This little parade in honor of Com
pany B which began in a humble way
as an effort to raise some money for
the company fund, promises to carry
the original hackers off their feet.
The Rotary club, which fathered
the parade, is getting so many offers
of assistance and so many common
dations for the plan. that they hardly
know their child.
The members of Company B, of
course, will be the guests Of honor.
The original purpose of the parade
has not changed. But the drafted
men are also to be in line. They will
probably be given badges to disting-
uish them. The candidates for the
second training camp are wanted, and
all the members of the first camp
who are in the city. The members of
the G. A. r. will have a place of
honor and probably the Spanish war
veterans also. The members Of the
Home Guard will try to make them

The city officials have declared

The Rotary club has only one
answer to all offers of aid: ''the more

There is no monopoly on patriotism
in Fargo; and no monopoly of a de-
sire to give Company B the proper
kind of farewell. Everybody can
cheer, and everybody can get out to
watch the parade, and everybody can
spare at least two bits" to throw in
to the flag.
Only one factor is holding it up.
Nobody knows the exact date of the
departure. The parade is to be made

ON STATISTICS AND CHEESE.

Hidden in government statistics
are some wonderfully interesting
facts for those with the time and the
disposition to study them.
Almost every mail brings to The
Forum office typewriter sheets of
statistics from the department of
agriculture, or the department of
commerce, or from some one Of the
countless government departments.
1t would occupy the entire time of
an expert librarian to catalogue
them, and probably nobody would
read them If it were done.
A haphazard collection from to-
days mail contained the following:
A table showing the exports and
imports of the United States for the
month of June and the twelve months
ending with June. They were classi-
fed by countries. Both exports and
imports showed a big gain compared
with year ago. For example our
much talked OF trade with South
America is a very healthy infant in
dustry. Our imports increased from
1891. 900, 900 to $542,OO0,ooO for the
fiscal year and our exports from
$3.50 900, 900 to s259, 900. 900.
In June 1917 we imported goods to
the value Of ss.2O6 from Germany,
and the same amount approximately
exported. That $4,000 item worries
us. Who is trading with the enemy
