C. f. Barnes, who was some
years ago on the Herald Advance
force, is now publishing kind Of a
free lance paper called the Meddler
at Deerwood. Mimi. He recently
had some structures on Mr.. Town
ley and his methods in Minnesota.
and that gentleman has called up
on Mr.. Barnes to retract, but the
latter says the evidence of the
truth Of mis- assertions is too plain
for any retraction, and he calls on
Mr.. Townley to play ball. We can
imagine Charlie saving his income
to pay $50,0OO libel judgment.
Why it would take him two years
to do it, and he would have to
practice conservation all the time.

Mr.. H. C. Jewett of Aberdeen will
speak on Red Cross work at the

pie, both men and women, should
come ous to this mee ting, and learn
more alb out red cross work. We
cant all be soldiers and fight on the
battlefield for old glory and the
freedom Of the world from militar-
ism, but we can all help our
country and humanity by joining
the red cross army, and giving our
time and means to help clothe and
care for the soldiers who are doing
the active fighting and suffering
privations for our America. Come
to the meeting and become an in
telligent red cross worker.

The Way to Peace.

Any bcdy of free men that COM
pounds with the present German
Government is compounding for
its own destruction. Any man in
America or anywhere else that sup
poses that the free industry and
enterprise Of the world can con-
tinue If the Pan-German plan is
achieved and German power fast
ened upon the world is as fatuous
as the dreamers in Russia. What
| am opposed to is not the feeling
Of the pacifists but their stupid ity.
If we are truef friends of free
dom. Of our own or anybody else's,
we will see that the power of this
country and the productivity OF
this country are raised to their alb
solute maximum, and that absolute.
ly nobody is allowed to stand in
the way Of it.
"Our duty is to stand together
night and day until the work il
finished. From President Viii.

Messrs. Fairchild and Gist,
whose hogs have been affected with
hog cholera, think that they now
have the disease in check. They
have been treating their herd very
thoroughly with the anti-cholera
serum and the disease now seems
to be we'll under control in their
pens.
Mr.. Fairchild says he thinks the
worst is over, and that the disease
will not be liable to spread further.
They have lost something over one
hundred head, and at the present
price of pork this will amount to
quite sum for loss. We have not
heard of the disease prevailing on
other farms so far, but we under
stand that farmers are taking every
precaution to protect their herds.

In the item in regard to corn
meal published last week. typo
graphical error made US say 1.-TWO
pounds" when we had intended to
say ten pounds. As we surmis-
ed it has not been the local
merchant who was making an over
charge. An invoice Of the goods
shown US told the fact that the 10.
cal merchants had been charged
$6.85. which, with the freight and
drayage would have made the
wholesale cost, in Milbank $7.l5
per hundred. The jobbers seemed
to have taken undue advantage of
their outside customers in charg-
ing them more than retailers were
selling at in the cities.

tic and capitalistic autocracy of the
Hohenzollerns. Honest socialist re.
formers have left it. No patriotic
American ought longer to stay in it.
1t is purely an aid to the capitals
tic and militaristic Hohenzollerns
party of Germany.
1t is a bitter enemy Of the United
States and a traitor to the cause OF
liberty throughout the world. Its
leaders are the supporters of an
alien autocracy and are seeking to
secure a peace which would immense
ly benefit this Prussian autocracy.
They stand beside the Bolsheviki
whose antics have made Russia at
this moment byword, both Of deri
sion and hope to every believer in
despotism and every opponent Of lib
erty throughout the world.
Exactly as the re-actionary is in
the end. the worst foe of order; ex-
actly as the conscienceless and greed
man Of wealth is in the end. the
worst foe of property and of honest
and duty performing holders of
property, SO the anarchist and the
wild Socialist whose doctrines.
when applied. necessarily lead to
anarchy and the l. w. w. and the
crack-brained professional pacifist
inevitably, themselves, are the
worst enemies of freedom. of true
democracy and of righteousness.
1t is natural that in this terrible
and melancholy world crisis these
men should have struck hand with
the sordid tools of German intrigue
in this country. The master of
Germany find all these men, what
ever their nominal differences, un-
tied in the evil bond of a common
subserviency to German purposes.
The German rulers who at home
trample on the socialists and dra-
goon the labor organizations and
bully the leaders of democracy
throughout cynically profit by aid
ing in other countries the men who,
in the name Of social reform, seek
to overthrow orderly liberty and
thereby show themselves the sinis-
ter allies of tyranny and despotism.
