FAVOR CONSUMPTION

All honor to President Wilson
for what he has done to preserve
peace in this country, likewise all
honor to him for the stand he has
taken to protect the United States
from the invasion of Il people who
have gone war mad and blood
thirsty.
But while the President and his
cabinet members and congress are
each and all doing their parts mob
ly and we'll, there are many things
that will be found waiting at the
last half hour-Which' is always
the busiest.
One of the many things and not
the least important, is that while
there are few of our boys who
respond willingly to their coun-
trys call. there are hundreds of
others who give one excuse or an
other for refusing to enlist.
AS his excuse one young man
said "Oh gee dad wont let me go
(he's twenty-one) he says there's
enough to do the lighting without
letting his, boys 60" In nearly
every neighborhood in this city
there are from two to ten or
more young men of military age,
who ignore the recruiting officers

emily a full company cannot be
obtained and the few brave lads.
who are members OF Company
"I'' will march away from Wahpe-
ton to fight for the protection of
the able bodied slackers who re-
main at home to hide behind the
boys with the American spirit.
who have gone to the front. Lord
speed the day when our military
laws will reach this class of AM
orleans (?) who bask under the
protection of the Stars and Stripes
but have not the manhood to step
up and defend il.An American.

CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN

10 the citizens OF WahpetOn
1t has been our custom annually
to unite in community effort TO
remove unsightly debris and to
put our city in presentable shape
for the beautiful out OF door life
which the sumner brings. The
passing Of cold weather makes
possible the breeding Of vrrmin
and of all kinds OF microbes in
accumulation which were harm
less while frost prevented gcrmin-
ations. but become dangerous as
warm weather approaches. The
laws of the state sensibly make it
the duty of citizens and officers
of the law to take sanitary meas :
ures for the public and private
welfare.
II goes without saying that
cleanliness is an absolutely essen
tial factor in prevention of dis
seasc and therefore tn" city coun
Gil has passed a resolution pro-
claiming the month of April a
CLEAN UP MONTH, and we call
upon all citizens to remove any
msightly accumulations of the
winter months, and all refuse and
debris. Haul Off the ashes, old
cans, rak" the yard, and let us
clean up i'm harmony with the
adoring which nature will put
ON, and clothe our city with the
beauty of cleanliness and thus pro
mote also the hygienic welfare of
WahpetM.
Don't wait for your ncishbor to
start things moving-bc The first
one yourself. Let us all coop
crate and give Wahpeton such a
clean up as it has never expert
encrd before.

Mayor

uses DOLLS MAKING
PLAIN SERMONETTE
TOTHELITTLEFOLkS

A dozen or more little girls. at
tending the morning service at the
Knox PRESBYTERIAN Church Sunday
morning, brought along their dolls
at the suggestion two weeks ago of
the pastor, Rev. l, f. Philips, and the
priced "babies" of the little members
of the congregation we're used in
pleasing manner, to both old and
young, in illustrating the point the
pastor wished to make.
Taking from the number of dolls
which had been deposited on the pull
pit platform a particularly attractive
one, Mr.. Philips appeared TO try and
make the doll talk, and when 1t could
not, appeared to regard it as strange
that such a well-dressed and pretty
Child" could not utter a sound. He
drove home this point in a sermonette
to the children, saying that was just
like some protesting Christians who
to all appearances looked like they
were all right, but when it came to
speaking out for and in the church
and Sunday Schools, they were just
like this pretty doll; good only to
look at, but dumb in the work of the
Master"
Another doll was pleaded to by the
pastor to walk. 1t could not, Of
course, and he said that this, was also
like a good many church people, who
refused to take the right step, and IN
the right paths.
When a third doll was cuddled up
in the preachers arms, it was meant
to express faith and trust, safe IN
the arms of Jesus"
Other illustrations were forcibly
drawn in the use of the dolls and
the children, as we'll as the old people
present, evidently carried off good
| impression.
Fifteen minutes at the opening of
the Sunday services each week, Rev
Mr.. Philips has been talking special

COMMISSIONERS TO
CONSIDER SEVERAL
ORDINANCES TODAY

At the meeting of the board of city
commissioners to be held at o'clock
this afternoon, there are several ordi-
nanoes to be considered. Three are
on final reading, and it is expected
they will be called up for final vote.
There are two or three special
franchise ordinances pending in which
the G. F. & A. asks special franchise
privileges, and at least two of these
are expected to be disposd of at to-
days meeting Citizens have pro-
tested against the closing of certain
streets in the western part of the
city and the location of the shops
out there, and this is question which
may be disposed of in some manner
at today's meeting of the commits
sioners.
Just whether there will be anything
further done on the ordinance grant
ing certain waterfront rights to Ar
ringdale ct al, remains to be seen.
Mr.. Arringdale, it is said, has not
communicated his intentions to the
commissioners since leaving on a trip
to new York several weeks since.

Sovereign Commander WOW
To Visit Here this Winter

P. L. Rollo, representative to the
Sovereign Camp, W. o. W., who
spent the past two weeks at Atlanta
attending the sessions of that august
body, returned to Pensacola Sunday
morning. Mrs. Rollo, who has been
spending two weeks with friends and
relatives in Nashville, also returned
with him.
Mr.. Rollo secured notable recog-
milton at the large gathering. He was
named one of ten members of what is
known as the law committee of the
Sovereign camp, this committee meet
ing about five days previous TO the
meeting of the Sovereign Camp, AMI
its authority covers a general revis-
ion of the laws of the order.
The promise of the sovereign COM
mander, W. A. Frazer, to visit Pensa-
cola this winter, was obtained by Mr.
Rollo. Sovereign Commander Fraser

Neb.

West Florida Enternrise.

"The West Florida Enterprise" is
the name borne by a magazine which
is being issued by Thos. T. Wentworth
Jr., the bicycle shop man, and the
first issue, good enough in itself, is
really remarkable when it is consid-
cred that young Wentworth did prac-
tically al the work himself, and has
hardly any knowledge of the print
ing business.
The first issue of the publication
consists of sixteen pages and about
one-fourth is taken up in advertising,
the balance being filled with interest
ing reading matter. DIR. Henry Borst
contributes readable and instructive
article on Home Gardening" while
the bicycle riding story, "by an old
timer" is real interesting. The mag
azine, it is expected, will be issued
monthly and Wentworth says he
hopes to have 1000 subscribers by
December of this year.

The sovereign physician of the or
der, DR.. Ira Porter, is expected to be
here during the week on an official
visit. DR.. Porter made a trip to
Bradentown, Fla, to look after some
of his interests there, and gave his
promise to Mr.. Rollo to stop in his
official capacity at this point on his
return trip.
At the Atlanta session, Mr.. Rollo
reports, it was decided to impose a
tax of ten cents month per mem
Der during the duration Of the war,
and in this manner it is expected to
raise about a million dollars annually,
which will be applied to the fund for
caring for those who go into the war.
Woodmen all over the coun~y will
contribute to this fund, and it is an
nounced that it will be applied at
once, effective with the August as
sessment. Such a fund, it is explain
ed, will build up q var measure fund
without impairing the resources OF
the order.

REVIEW
The Catapult.

Most naval publications are inter
esting to the men aboard-ship, but it
is rarely that one finds copy of
these unique publications which con-
tain anything of interest to the lay
man, or one unfamiliar with the men
who make up the crew.
The fact that The Catapult," the
semi-monthly publication from the
press of the U. S. S. Huntington, does
this is one of its chief characteristics
and is probably the reason for its
popularity.
The present number is no exception
to the rule for this magazine contains
much that gives an insight to /fe in
