Chevrons Of Honor.

The French are quick to bestow SYM
boIs Of honor on soldiers who perform
deeds Of self-sacrif1ce or daring. More
than any other of the allies, perhaps,
they recognize the value Of emblems
Of service.
Among the many neat little marks
upon the French uniforms that indl-
cate the rank and the department of
the wearer, says Sir A. Conan Doyle
in "A Visit to Three Fronts" there
was one that puzzled me. It was to
be found on the left sleeve Of men Of
all ranks, from generals to privates,
and it consisted of small gold chew
rens, one, two, or more. No rule SEEM
ed to regulate them, for the general
might have none, and have heard Of
a private who wore ten.
Suddenly solved the mystery. The
marks are the record Of wounds re-
ceived! By that admirable little de-
vice the French allay the smart Of a
wound and make it bring lasting honor
to the man among his fellows.

C0LLlDED- WITH A BUMBLEBEE
Aviator Finds There Are Other Things
Besides Airplanes That 1t Is NOT
Safe TO Encounter In the Air.

Birds and airplanes are not the only
fiying things with which 1t is possible
for an aviator to have serious col"
lision. The author Of "Tales Of the
Flying Service gives as an instance
a strange accident that occurred in
France.
Not long ago, he says, ran across
an aviator I know, looking very much
annoyed and with one eye seriously
obstructed by a large confused swell
ing on his cheekbone. Thinking that
he had had smash of some kind,
probably a bad landing in which ne
had been pitched against the front OF
his machine, I asked him what had
happened.
He explained that about six hours
earlier he was starting out on fast
biplane, and was going full speed
on the ground in order to get good
lump into the air, when he met large
sized bumblebee going ia hurry In
the opposite direction.
"You see," he explained, 81 was do
ing about sixty knots due east, and
he was doing between thirty-aVe and
forty knots due west, and he was a
large bee, and the impact was some
thing terrific. And" he added vim
dietively, IT hope he has spilled all
his honey and that he's still uncen-
scious !''-Youth's Companion.

He then goes on to speak about the

PROTEST AGAINST DISLOYALTY
Minnesota Citizens in Large Numbers
Appeal to Safety Commission to
Squelch Movement.

The office of the Safety Commits
sion for the past week or more is in
receipt of very large number of let
tiers from loyal people living in all
parts Of the state, protesting against
disloyalty preached at the recent
meeting in New Ulm and at other
meetings in several pro-German 10
calities in Minnesota. Most of these
letters contain some one of the many
obvious ana So nd answers to the
theories advanced by the New Ulm
s. eakerS.
"Anoka's reply to New Uln" in the
meeting held there Sunday, August
18th, was organized on the initiative
of some citizens Of that county vino
felt thta they were more the citizens
Of America than of Germany.
1t is apparent to anyone who re-
members the Spanish-American War
that New Ulm urged no constitutional!
reason against sending the Thin
teenth Minnesota to the Philippines.
On the contrary, the members # that
Regiment were properly applauded
for meeting their country's enemies
where such enemis were to be ';ound.
The deduction is plain that the real
objection to the present intention ot
sending American troops to meet
Americas foes, emanates largely in
the minds of certain naturalized citi-
zens, or citizens of foreign descent,
whose sympathy in the present war is
not given in America.
1t has been said in number of
meetings held in the State since the
New Ulm meeting, that a man too
cowardly to fight his enemy who is
to be found many miles from home,
would be too cowardly to defend
himself if assailed in his own door
yard. Most of the people of Mime
sofa would rather have fight take
place out in the street than in their
living room.
The national government sue
ceeded in putting down formidable
rebellion in 1861 to 1865, and it is
not likely to have any serious trouble
in enforcing it's laws in any county
in Minnesota.
Loyal citizens in the central
western counties of the state, Off
Gals and county members of the Pub
lie Safety Commission are arranging
meeting to be held at Morris, Min
nesota, in the near future to tell what
they think of the dislcyal doctrines
given publicity through a pro-Ger-
man propaganda. It is not the in.
tention of the loyal citizens of Min
nesota to have the states reputation
besmirched before the rest of the ma
ton, by seditious and infammatory
speeches, mainly inspired by cheap
politicians. The, nation had expert

Upon the determination of this fail

do so only at his own cost OF storage
and interest, and if it is necessary TO,
the government to buy the entire
wheat harvest in order to maintain
this fair price in protection of the
producer, we intend to do so.
Furthermore, the holding of wheat
or -four contracts by persons not en-.
gagged in the trade, and even when in
trade in larger quantities than is nee.
cessary for the ordinary course 81

act, and such cases will be prosecuted
with vigor. And we would advise
such holders to iquidate their con.
tracts at once.
"By the above arrangement, we be-
lieve that we shall stabilize the price
of wheat throughout the year, that the
hazards of operations due to fluctuat
ing prices which are imposed upon oul
milling and distributing community
will be eliminated and therefore thei'
business can return to the normal lines
and the normal margins of profit, ant
that we shall not only have stabilized
the price of wheat, but stabilized tn
price of flour, and that it should en-
able us to arrive at stabilized price
of bread.

the patriotic cooperation of the lead
ing millers Of the country and the
nillers have organized, at the request
of the food administration, commit.
tee to represent the entire trade. De-
tailed proposals for an agreed differ
entail of profit and expenses per
barrel of flour and per ton of feed, are
under discussion. Under this arrange
ment the public will be assured an
equitable and stabilized price of flour
based upon the cost of raw material
and we confidently expect the .volun-
teer arrangement with the mills which
will give satisfaction to the public.
"The universal endeavor over the
country to reduce consumption OF
wheat breadstuffs in order that W
may have the requisite exports with
which to carry the Allies over the
Forthcoming winter, will result in a
largely increased amount of whea'
available for export. If it were ex-
ported as wheat, it would result IN
diminution of employment in our mille
and of equal Importance, curtailment
of supply of mill feed for our dair
cattle. Therefore the food admins
tration will stipulate for a large pro-
portion of export -four instead of
wheat, and as the export orders for
flour will be given subject to the ap-
proval of the food administration,
those mills who cooperate with the
administration will be given the bene-
fit of the exports employment. By
thus encouraging the home production
of flour the manufacturing cost will b.
reduced and therefore the American
public will receive indirect benefit il
lowering margins of cost in distribu-
ton.
