Patriotic Economy

Can you imagine what would hap
pen if money stopped circulating ?
Stores and factories would have to
close, everyone would be out Of
work and the farmer would have to
quit for lack of food. It's a horri-
bic thought, but true, unless You
help to- defeat it.
Let's not have any false economy
but plenty Of sensible economy.
Keep business going as usual.
Spend your money as economically
as you can but Don't Hoard i'll The
more money you put into proper cir
cuation, the greater will be the buy
ing power of your money. SURELY
YOU CAN SEE THIS POINT.
Money Has No Real Value Until It's
Buying Power is Established
by Use.

MAY DRAFT ALIENS.

II is quite probable that an amend
ment to the new army bill will be
made providing for the drafting OF
aliens into the American army. As
the laws now stand aliens are ex-
empt from service in the armies OF
this country.
Congressman James who was In
Crystal Falls Sunday told Diamond
Drill reporter that when he left
Washington opinion was crystalizing
about a provision to provide for the
enlistment OF the allied aliens or the
deportation OF them 10 their own land.
II was pointed out that American
boys were being drafted while these
aliens escaping service in the arm
les Of their own countries. were al

trict of Michigan, which includes Iron

Saturday, Sunday and Monday. He
came here to attend the annual meet

BACK TO STANDARD TIME.
Crystal Falls Business Houses and
Mines VIII Resume Old Time.

Crystal Falls didn't move the clock
ahead, but many Of our business plac-
es and mines acceded to the request
OF their men that the work be started
one hour earlier and stop one hour
later. The move took effect May
when there was considerable OF an
agitation around the peninsula about
going onto potato time" as the fast

at all OF the grocery stores OF the city.
The notice was handed us by Chas.
Neugebauer OF Osterberg G. Co. and

OF the employees that the scheme ia OF
no real profit to them.
AT the mines the same tendency TO
return to standard time is apparent
and the Carpenter mine resumed stan
dard time last Tuesday. The miners
complain that they must get up at
an unearthly hour and that they get

ties OF the state went away well

which came from all sides as the Wis

WHY THERE is OBJECTION

A message from Detroit, signed by
John Panceur who styles himself
chairman OF the executive committee
OF the |. w w. organizations in that
city, threatens Governor Sleeper with
strike in Detroit If any violence 8
used against the workmen on the Go
gebic range.
Governor Sleeper evidently was not
much alarmed at the threat as he went
right along with his preparations
and has secured from the adjutant
general the right to keep the militia
men in Michigan until such time as
il is needed This assures the state
ample protection from these trouble
makers.

WHY THERE IS OBJECTION.

Many people wonder why there is
objection to Joint committee OF con-
gross on the conduct Of the war such
as sat during the war between the
states
Congressman James OF this district
explains the opposition to be not In
opposition to such a committee but
because OF the very probable make
up of the committee.
Such a committee would undoubted-
ly contain in the house, the speaker,
the leader OF the democrats, and the
leader OF the republicans. making az
the first shot, three out OF FIVE on the
house membership men who are eth
or opposed to war or are pro-German
In sentiment
The same condition reigns in the
senate where the so-called leaders
are secretly, II not openly. opposed to
the war and the loyal members OF
both bodies who are in a big majority
figure that II is better to get along
without any committee than TO have
a committee opposed to the very
object for which it Is appointed.

The selection OF Walter S. Prick.
ette Of Sidaw to a position on the dis
trict board OF this district to consid
er appeals Of men drafted into the
nations service is gratifying to his
many friends in this section, and he
has lots Of them
Mr. Prickett's selection is the more
acceptable because It is known to be
one without any political complexion
whatever as Mr. Prickett is In no way
interested in politics or Office hold
ing. His services will be valuable to
his country for that reason and with
his other eminently qualified associ-
ates. will set an example OF disinter-
ested loyalty that will be pattern for
local boards and individuals to fol-
low.

GOOD ADVICE To WOMEN.

Rev. Caroline Bartlett Crane. Mich
igan division Of national defense, has
issued a very sensible and patriotic
appeal 10 women in which she ad-
monishes them to forego cards and
bend their energies towards some
thing Of value during the contlnu-
ance Of the war. Says Mrs. Crane:
I'VE must abolish all superhuities.
We must give OF ourselves and OF
our means. We must realize that
'this war is our war, that we are no
longer going TO France to aid the Al
lies. that We are going there to fight
our battle. II Is a delusion that Ger
many is near the end OF her resources.
We must bend every effort to fight
this battle in Europe n II Is not to
he fought here II we lose there all
the trocities which have some to Pol
and to Belgium and France will be
ours. Not until we get the lists Of
our own killed and wounded will ew
fully realize that this Is a terrible
war"

From present indications there will
be all kinds OF work for the clock
tinkerers at Iron River soon. Bust
ness men from that place, when they
learned OF the action OF Crystal Falls
business men returning to standard
time, declared themselves in favor OF
bringing Iron River back to its senses,
so We shall not be at all surprised
IL very soon some friend from Iron
River shall drop into our office and
say: "Now, I'll tell you a good one
on Pat 0'Brien II you won't give me
away" And, upon being assured
that his identity will be kept secret
he will say, Pat slipped up to the
office after dark last night and turned
back his clock one hour All the 9TH
er places about town went back some
time ago. but Pat hated to acknowl-
edge defeat and thought by juggling
the clock the boys in the office would
not notice the change and he would
thus escape the laugh that we have
all been storing up for him" Hap

clocks alone so that the machinery

The members OF the local exemp-
tion boards have an unpleasant duty
TO perform, and we would in all kind
ness suggest to our people that II be
made no more unpleasant than pos
sible.
Some thoughtless but lily inform
ed people are passing around a lot
OF idle talk about who is or who is
not exempt, and as TO the powers
possessed by the local boards.
Their duties are laid down in sim
pie and plain language by the au-
thorities OF the United States and
there is no deviation from the rules.
not single deviation. They will not,
nor can II they wished to do so play
any favorites. Blood Is no thicker
than water In such matters.
When you hear someone say that
favors will be shown to anyone, put
II down as idle gossip or downright
falsehood. for there can be no devia-
tion from the rules laid down. rules
from the Provost Marshals office and
which can be obtained from the To-
cal board
Incidentally in passing we would
say that II you hear anyone say that
IL he was on the board he could do
something for any particular regis
trant put that down as buncombe or
absolute falsehood.
The local boards have practically
but two causes for exemption: One
being that a registrant is physically
unable to pass the required examina
ton, and the other is that he has a
wife or children or others dependent
wholly upon him for support The
district board has the settling OF
OF practically all matters, as they are
naturally more free from local as
sociations than are the members OF
the local boards.-Keweena Miner

GETTING CLOSER TO CANADA.

The great war has brought the
United States and Canada closer to-
gether than any other agency that
can be imagined Following the de-
feat OF the reciprocity treaty by voters
OF Canada some few years ago there
was manifest in our neighbors to the
north distrust for the United States.
Canada seemed to be pulling away
from us
Then came the great war and the
enlistment OF thousands OF United
States citizens in the armies OF the
Dominion. The necessity for sup
plies TO outfit the Canadians during
the first years OF the war brought the
two countries into closer commercial
touch. Then came the entry OF the
United States and general snuggl-
ing up OF the two countries as may
be evidenced in the changes In the
navigation laws giving the vessels OF
each country free access to the ports
OF the other.
AS time drags on and the two coun-
tries become more united in their
stand against the common enemy Il
Is expected that this feeling of friend
ship will increase and that the diff
ferences that formerly marked off
the two nations will be almost oblit-
Grated when the war is over with.

To the Members of the Red Gross:
Upon being appointed by the other
fellows from Crystal Falls who are
here in Fort Oglethorpe, to thank
you for the box that you sent to US.
take this means OF doing ii. We
all appreciate your kindness very
much. The comfort kits were Just
what we needed as we have to do our
own sewing. The other articles also
add great deal to our line OF neces
stiles.
The things were divided to the en-
tire satisfaction OF all. The eats
that were sent was sure a treat to Us
all and we certainly did our fill. The
comments that were made when wC
opered the box and saw what yoI
mac sent. were too many to repeat
hut | cen assure you that they were
expressions of appreciation,
To receive such box from hore
makes us all the more contented be-
cause we know that you are all with
US iE spirit If not in person.
As we are all in the same branch
of the service. the infantry, brief
outline will servie to give you some
idea of our daily work.
At $50 we must all be outside for
reyeille, the time when the flag is
raised each day. We then return TO
our quarters to police duty or clean
our quarters. We then go to break
fast. At 6:55 there Is a call, the
stable call, followed by drill call We
all file out with rifles and belts and
march to the parade grounds. The
first thing we have there Is physical
exercise Then after or ten min
utes rest we fall in again with rifles
and belts for drill in the close, and
extended order Then after ten min
ues more rest we fell in and have
company drill.
AT ten o'clock recall is blown and
we return TO quarters. Some OF the
fellows are then placed on fatigue,
and work until dinner time Those
that are not on fatigue may do as
/ they wish. IL Is during this time
that most OF the washing and sew
ing is done.
At 1l:00 we have mail call when
the mail IS given out. That Is one
| call at which nearly everyone is on
time with promptness. Mess call Is
another that the men respond to with
readiness. At :00 the sick call l.
blown and those who need medical
attention must report to the hospital.
At 1880 drill call Is blown again
and out to the parade ground we go
again. This time we practice signal
ing and hrst-aid work, We return
again at 500 o'clock. At $3.50 we
stand retreat. at which time the aag
Is lowered for the night.
Following retreat we have supper.
We are then free until 1900 o'clock,
unless We have a pass which permits
US to stay later At 9 O'Clock all
lights must be put out AZ eleven
every one must be in bed
There Is quite few calls that / did
not mention. but the ones above are
the most important to us We have all
found this life very interesting, and
are getting along quite well OF course
we all miss the familiar faces at
home, but as Il Is sildier's duty to
become accustomed to his surround
ings. we have decided to make the
best OF t.
Again thanking you for your kind
ness, will close with love and best
wishes 10 you all
