Sunday afternoon at one o'clock, Mrs.
Margaretha Wiedermann, another one
Of New Ulm's pioneer woman passed
away at her Lcme On North Washington
street. Death IVES due to cid age and
the ccmplicatie MS usually incident there
to. She was i'll fer merry months, having
been confined to her led almost cen
tinuously ever since March.
The deceased, whose maiden me was
sMargaretha Ste1nlein was bern at Spell
|tach, Obersmt Kreisl elm, Wuerte mberg,
Germany, April Z, 1887 and lad therefore
passed the seth milestone when DEATHS
summons came. In 1868 she migrated
to America with Ter parents who settled
at Prairie du Chen, Wis. Here they
stayed about year, coming to New
Ulm in the spring Of 1859. The same
year she was married to John Wieden-
mann who preceded her in death s
years ago September z. Shortly after
their marriage they moved onto farm
in the town OF Milford where they con-
tinued to reside until 10 years ago when
the deceased came to New Ulm to re-
|side. Mrs. WiedeImsnn had her share
Eof the trials and fluctuations that were
melted out to the early settlers, but
she bore them bravely ard unfalteringly.
Eleven children were bern to them of
whom three preceded her in DEATH.
The surviving children are Lena, Otto
and Katie Of New Ulm; George of Man
kato; Mrs. Albert Knees and Mrs.
Herman Pfaender of Milford; Paul Of
Sleepy Eye and Mrs. Fred Carols of
Pcmcria, California. The funeral was
held from her late home yesterday after
noon and inte1ment was made in the city
cemetery. Capt. Albert Steinnauser de-
livered the funeral address.

turned 1t to Dr.. Henderson for con-
sideraton.
DR.. Henderson has already begun the
improvements planned to make the five
acres the show place of the city. Mod
ern appointments will feature both the
grounds and the buildings, paved drive
ways will be installed and the park
iugs set with ornamental trees, shrubs
and flowers concrete watering places,
a swimming pool and fountain will be
appropriately situated. and as far as
possible the entire scheme will be In
invitation, or, rather, an inspiration
to the builders Of homes in Colville to
make them the abiding places ideallzed
in song and story Of the pastoral ages.

bilities in this idea. The boys
may be brought to feel that they
are serving their country as truly
as their elder brothers who enlist
in army and navy; and the girls
should have chance as well.
They should have a medal to
keep as liflong evidence Of their
service in the last great war-let
us hope-of the worlds history.
Some of our correspondent
banks are arranging for garden
plots for all their clerks. Indus
trial employers are doing likewise,
and will provide seeds and in
struction. Organized work of
this kind with suitable supervision
will be most effective. Every
employer in your locality should
be waited upon by committee,
and invited to cooperate in this
manner.
Although it is of course desir-
able to increase the farm crops,
and especially the spring wheat
crop, it may be that the best
chance to increase the food sup
ply is by the intensive cultivation
Of garden tracts in and adjacent
to towns, where labor additional
to the regular farm supply can be
secured for growing potatoes,
beans, onions, etc. Each COM
munity is able to go ahead upon
this work without help from out
side. The aggregate result will
depend upon the efficiency Of the
local organizations.
Earle Y. Gates, county auditor
and eX-officio secretary of the Ste
vcns county industrial prepared
ness commission, reports a fine
response from the people on the
agricultural and livestock survey
of the county which was started
two weeks ago. There are many
who want to rent farms and 9th
sers who have farms to rent who
are willing to throw their for
tunes into the enterprise of lift
ing the supply of food and reliev
ing the burden Of high prices this
year. The new bureau is proving
more than it's projectors anticipat-
ed for it. Persons wishing land
to cultivate, or to have land cul~
tivated, might find it to their ad-
vantage to consult this bureau.
1t is proposed soon to take up
the labor problem, too, and place
medium of exchange between
the farmer and the worker.
The banks of the county are
ready to finance operations Of
farmers who are entitled to credit.
Seed may be purchased, or help
hired, or clearing done. Failure
of crop is not known in this coun-
try, hence the honesty of the indi-
vidual and the value of his land
are the main considerations to be
looked after. Men who are en-
titled to borrow money need have
no hesitancy in borrowing for
their full needs.
The compilation of most of the
reports being received by the
auditor will be largely looked af-
ter by the ladies of the Red Cross
of Colville. The information re-
ceived, although confidential in
some cases, is largely of a public
nature-present and proposed
acreage, and numbers of the vari-
Gus classes of livestock.
The general belief is that while
wheat will be the most profitable
and most needed crop, potatoes
will not be worth less than ST
per hundred, and all grains will
bring high prices. Town lots are
being utilized for potatoes and
vegetables to a greater degree
than ever before.
Colville's plan to use the first
two weeks of May as a cleanup
period is a good one. j. NJ.

One third of the world wool
supply is today used in uniforms
of men of the warning countries.
In England alone in the first sew
enteen months of the war 6S,0O0,-
600 pounds were used for this pllr-
pose which partly accounts for
the high price of wool in the
United States.

of us who followed them critically
from the date of their entrance into
the service until they came down the
avenue saw at a glance the change.
Where a month ago the lines bowed
and doubled, and the men crowded
toward their guide like so many
sheep, in their parade they swung
along in good alignment, every man
feeling his. way for himself, and
knowing i%nstinctively when he was
getting too close or too remote from
his guiding neighbor. The "feel" of
the job-that intangible, undefinable
thing that makes a mar do his task
in the right way without stopping to
think how it should be done-was ev-
erywhere apparent.
It was more noticeable among the
line officers than among the men.
They had used a month of constant
association to great profit, and they
went snappily through their work
just as though no other people were
in the world.
That is discipline.
That also is the fruit of individual
intelligence.
For SO many years makers Of plat.
tudes have said that the difference
between an army and a mob q dis.
cipline that it is bromide to repeat it
and yet the point is so strong that
one may not resist the temptation.
The point Of the thing is that the
individual action of the men that
came from thirty days Of association
with trained men, and thirty days o.
doing the right thing the right way
was made possible by the operation
of the mental development Of thu
single man. Such a result would MOI
have come from men who depended
upon what they saw and heard alon'
for guidance.
There wasn't a mar in that lin
who could not read and understan,
the drill regulations, the suggestion
as to sanitation, the laws governing
his service and the routine work o
his company, as well as his captain
This addition Of personal mental eff
fort to the instruction of the officer
had its effect.
It will have a vastly greater effec
as the days go by and the army i
augmented. There has been more lit
erature published in this country TO
the use of the enlisted men durinl
the last two years than any countr,
in the world has ever known. l
ranges from trench digging to tn
calculation of the ballistic propertie
Of a big gun, and the public has lit
!, orally consumed the output. The de
mand for elementary publications ha
been remarkable, and a number of of
, ficers who had the gift of writing

might understand, have added larg

NEWS FROM THE O Y

AND GIRLS CLUBS
During the first week of the fall
campaign to enroll girls in the bread
and garment making contests as d.
rected by the state college, Is county
superintendent requested all of their
teachers to organize clubs.
One club member, a 14-year-old boy,
reports on his potato crop that he
has eight acres and that the average
yield will be five hundred bushels per
acre.
County Emergency club leaders
have been appointed in the following
counties: Sanders, John Dexter at
Dixon; Flathead, H. N. Kaufman at
Kalispell; Yellowstone, J. E. Baltzell
at Worden; Lincoln, Carl w. Morgan
at Libby; Saltwater, w. H. Jones at
Columbus; Deer Lodge, Owen M.
Speer at Deer Lodge. These emer-
gency leaders have agreed to work
with county superintendent, county
agents, teachers and the state college
in %furthering work in agriculture and
home economics clubs with boys and
girls.
Mason Marcy, St. Ignatius, an H.
year-old boy. won a cream separator
at the state fair on his exhibit of II
potatoes and record book. The separ-
ator is valued at SS7.5O George Her.
son of Clumbus, Herbert Schroeder OF
York, Mabel Venahr of Belt, Robert
Aiken of Nelson and Antoine Majestic
Of Great Falls also won cash prizes
in potatoes.
John McFaul of Musselshell has the

needed to carry on the war. The diff
erence is only as to the n in
which the funds shall be obtained.
II the general public responds
promptly to the treasury departments
appeals for subscriptions to the war
issues, a minimum of new and extra
ordinary taxation will be imposed.
Congress indicated its intention in
MS respect when it declined to i'm
pose consumption taxes on such semi
Injuries as tea and coffee.
However, congress assumed this at
tltude in the belief that no difficulty
would be experienced in floating the
war loans. Should it find upon recon-
vening next December that the in
vesting public has failed to absorb
the issues in the necessary amount, it
will make good whatever deficit may
exist through taxation.
Under the war evenu bill an.
proved at the last session, the burden
OF the extraordinary imposts falls
most heavily upon wealth. If it il
! necessary, in the future, to raise more
money by this means, the salaried
man and the wage Garner will be the
hardest hit. either through a radical
reduction in the income tax exemption
or by extremely heavy duties laid or
all necessities consumed by the masses
Of the people.
When a citizen buys war securities
he receives something in returns
bond, upon which the government
pays interest and the principal Of
which ultimately will be returned tx
the purchaser. When he pays taxes
he gets nothing back.
The wage Garner who saves some
thing out of his income to buy {
Liberty bond is protecting his owl
pocketbook, for the more money tn
government is able to raised through
Liberty loans, the less will it have t.
raise through extraordinary taxation
