Lloyd George, the British premier,
holds that the war cannot be ended
without military decision. He is not
a hater of Germany, but believes that
the country cannot be starved. into
submission despite the embargo. The
embargo will, however, he says, great
ly assist the progress of the war and
be one of the factors in bringing the
kaiser to his knees. There is another
factor, says the premier, which will
help end the war-a revolution, which
is sure to come. Then let our armies
push ahead without cessation in their
drives until they make triumphal en-
try into Berlin.

Chicago packers have millions of

have the brazen effrontery to ask the
government to purchase them for the

are holding these enormous quanti-
ties Of eggs in violation of law, that
they we're holding them for higher
prices, and now that they have dis
covered that there is an oversupply
they ask the government to help them
out of the dilemma and pay them a
10 per cent profit on their investment.
Eggs for the soldiers! This idea is
all right, but if the government de-
cides to furnish the boys with this
luxury let it be fresh eggs, not de-

Vance Chapman, the County Chair
man. is Of the opinion that an extra
session Of the state legislature will
be convened this winter and mentions
a raft Of legislation that may be taken
up and considered. IF an extra session
is held the only matter that should be
considered would be measure that
would permit Minnesotans in the
army Of the United States, at home or
abroad, to vote and have their votes
counted and recorded in the precincts
to which they rightfully belong. But
we doubt the practicability Of such a
law if our boys should be scattered all
over Europe. at the next general cleo
ton. Then the length Of time that
would of necessity elapse in getting
ballots to and from the boys in the
field would, to say the least, necessi-
tate many changes in our existing
election laws and cause delay and in
convenience. Much >as we would like
to have the Minnesota soldier boys
exercise the right Of suffrage, we are
afraid that right would have to be
confined to those Of them who are in
this country on the day of election.

''The papers that are promoting the

Two Kinds of Appendix.

The appendix is the last thing to
be added to book and the first thing
to be subtracted from a human being.
In a book the appendix is rarely con-
suited; in a person it is the cause of
many a consultation. A book with a
good appendix is usually pretty
swell book, while a person with bad
appendix is merely swelled up. The
Important matter in book is never in
the appendix; in a person it is. You
can take an appendix out of book
without hurting the body. You have
to give man chloroform. If a mis-
take is made putting an appendix into
a book no harm is done. If there is
any mistake about taking out your ap-
pendix or mine somebody will be
us few hours later for a
suit Of wooden pajamas.- Ginger.
