NO MORE WORDS.

No more words;
Try it with your swords!
Try it with the arms of your bravest and
your best!
You are proud of your manhood, now put
it to the test;
Not another word;
Try it by the swordl
No more notes;
Try it by the threats
Of the cannon that will roar Till the earth
and air be shaken;
For they speak what they mean, and they
cannot be mistaken;
No more doubt;
Come-fght it out!
No child's play!
Waste not day;
Serve out the deadiest weapons that you
know;
Let them pitilessly hail on the faces OF
the foe;
No blind strife;
Waste not one life.
You that in the front
Bear the battles brunt-
When the sun CLEANS at dawn on the bay
onets abreast,
Remember tbs for government and coun-
try you contest,
For love of all you guard,
Stand, and strike hard!
You at home that stay
From danger far away,
Leave not jot to chance, while you rest
in quiet ease;
Quick forge the bolts of death; quick!
ship them DER the seas;
If Wars feet are lame
Yours will be the blame.
You, my lads, abroad,
STEADY" be your word;
You, at home, be the anchor of your SOL
diers young and brave;
Spare no cost, none is lost, that may
strengthen or may save;
Sloth were sin and shame,
Now play out the game!

Sleepy Eye Happenings Always Inter
est Our Readers.

After reading Of so many people
in our town who have been cured by
Doan's Kidney Pills, the question nat
urally arises: "Is this medicine equal
ly successful in our neighboring
towns?" The generous statement OF
this Sleepy Eye resident leaves no
room for doubt on this point.
Mrs. J. G. Pelzl, 3O7 Maple St.,
Sleepy Eye, Mimi, says: 'Doan's Kid
ney Pills did me a great deal of good,
curing me of backache and kidney
trouble I gave this remedy my en-
dorsement at the time it helped me
SO much and I am glad to again rec
ommend it to people troubled with
backache or other kidney ailments"

To the many prayers for many things
which are being asked today, we would
add our humble supplication for more OF
sanity in our conceptions, more of charity
in our judging Of those who do not agree
with us and cessation Of useless agita-
ton Nothing is gained by constant
stirring up of troublesome disagreements
less is gained by paying attention to mat
tiers of small Importance. To err is very
human especially in war times Let us
be as charitable to the other fellow as we
are to ourselves.

For the sake of common civic pride let's
have the weeds on vacant lots and along
boulevards cut before any more people

have particularly in our minds eye right

tigated to find out who is responsible for
this particular bit of objectionable care

disgrace to that section of the town and
next week we'll rise to state some more
places just like it if they still exist at that
time.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
under the caption ''The Duty of German
Freemen" an extract from speech made
by Otto H. Kahn before the Merchants
Association of New York, June l, 1917.
Mr.. Kahn's speech is marked throughout
by the Americanism to which we all of
us aspire and few great souls achieve.
Later on in the same address he shapes a
great-and unlearned truth thus: 4 need
hardly emphasize that the first and fore
most duty of business men, beyond and
above every other interest, is to do every
thing in their power-I mean literally ev-
erything, without any limitation whatso-
ever-to help the President to win this
most just and righteous war, into which,
God knows, we have not lightly entered"
