Duluth Men Visit Fair.

For several years past Duluth husi-
ness men have had representatives
attend our county fair. There was a
smaller delegation than usual this
year, only three, but the genial sales
manager for the Stone Ordean ellis
Company, Frank x. Gravel, was one
of the trio and he is a host in him
self. The other two Duluth men who
accompanied Mr.. Gravel were E. A
Risdon, traffic manager for F.. A
Patrick & Co., and C. f. Rowe of the
Marshall-W ellis Hardware Company
The Duluth men came by auto and hac
hard time negotiating the roads ir
Wednesdays downpour and they left
today before the fair really opened
but their visit was appreciated all thu
same.

st. Louis County Goes Dry

The county option elections in St.
Louis county on Monday placed the
territory covered in the dry category
by majority 0; 5000 votes.
Duluth gave the drys FOL majority,
as against 1878 at the last municipal
election when the option question was
voted upon locally. This shows which
way the wind blows so far as Duluth
is concerned. .

majority although the city is dry I'M

Camp Cody, Deming, N. M.-The
last section of the Third regiment, in
Guiding Company G, arrived here at
4:30 p. M, August 81, and stepped out
into sandstone that was more than
fierce. Alkali dust and sand filled the
air, and some of the men feared that
the kaiser's god had gained control of
the elements. The camp looked far
from inviting, but during the night the
wind went down and in the morning
this part of the world seemed brighter.
Camp Cody is on large sandy plain
just at the outskirts of Deming.
Mountains form majestic background
in every direction. All in all it is a
desirable camp location. There are no
mosquitoes here, and as yet no scorp
ions or rattlesnakes have camped in
the mems clothing.
The camp is not ready yet and
large crew is at work laying water
pipes, building hospitals, mess halls,
etc. When everything is in readiness
there will be accommodations for 3d.
900 soldiers. About 5000 soldiers are
here now.
Moral conditions are excellent. All
the saloons within five miles of camp
have been closed, as have resorts of
ill repute. Uncle Sans prohibition
appears to be very effective, too. There
is no doubt but what banishing booze
from the army is good thing. All
the officers and men know it, though
so1ne-especially the latter-will not
admit it. We have been here just a
week now, and I have yet to see a
soldier even slightly under the infu-
ence of liquor. This means greatly
increased efficiency, and efficiency is
needed if the armed forces of autoc-
racy are to be put down.
Deming citizens are resorting to
various methods to provide entertain
ment for the soldiers, and incidentally
to gather in some, of the nickels and
dimes that Uncle Sam pays his fight
ing men. There are movies" and ice
cream parlors too numerous to men
ton, as we'll as boxing promoter
who staged glove contest on Labor
day. Then there is "Outlaw Park,
where wild west shows are given every
Sunday. The movies" are good, but
I am not in position to pass judg.
ment on the other features, as I have
< not taken them in, or, perhaps l should
say, been taken in by them.
1t is practically certain that each
: company will be reorganized on the
French army plan, with ESQ men II
each company. This means that there
. will be two captains, four lieutenants
and several more non-commissioneC
officers.
Company G now has an additional
captain and two lieutenants. Captain
M. C. Whitehurst and Lieutenant
Carl Ref and A. M. Watkins, of tn
Fort Riley, Kansas, officers training
camp, have been assigned to Compan.
~ G. It is not known whether they will
be with US permanently or not, as i
is possible that the assignments wer
made in order to give them experienc
in handling men.

The Fighting Race.

A good old Irishman in Minneapolis
in a personal letter e to the editor
writes: "The Union, as usual, is on
the right side. It seems to size things
up correctly. But sometimes, think,
you are rather severe in your. con-
demnation Of the Irish, and know
you are Irish yourself through and
through. Those misguided Sim Fem
Irish are to be pitied-they know not
what they do. But you and I both
know that the great majority of the
Irish, Catholic and Protestant @alike,
are loyal to the United States as
against the world. In proportion to
tlsair, numbers I feel certain that the
Irish and their sons will show up with
the best Of them in both the army and
the navy, and they will fight like ter
riers. In today's (Sept. 81 Journal,
I find mention of several irish names
mixed up in the war news. On the
first page there is an account Of the
bombing of an American hospital in
France by the German flying devils,
and among those killed was VIM. T.
Fitzsimmons-he was head man at the
hospital-and his name indicates his
nationality. God rest his brave soul,
and may He comfort his poor mother.
On another page find that the two
Mcintyre boys Of this city, Is and 20
years of age, are with the first Min
nesota artillery. And their mother
says: "Their father and I both came
from Ireland. We're proud Of our
boys and glad they have this oppor-
tunity to fight to keep the country free.
They mean everything to us, but
neither of US would raise a hand to
keep them home and away from duty
to country"
I, too, am proud Of the boys, but
am prouder Of their Spartan Irish
mother. 49,,
On still another page I find that
four Of the Coleman boys, all, there
was IN the family, are volunteers IN
the service of Uncle SAM I am also
proud of the Coleman boys who were
born and raised in this city,
Bless your soul, Rodger, never for
a moment have we doubted the loyalty
of the sons of old Erin to the Stars
and Stripes. Ninety-nine and nine
tenths of them are heart and soul fol-
America. But there is an infnitesima
minority Of Irish in this country, anc
more of them in Ireland, who cherish
an unreasonable prejudice agains1

States because we are allies Of Eng

This means that the first Liberty

BOY-ED, KAISER'S
ARCHPLOTTER, is
NOWNAWOFF|CER

Capt. Karl Boyd, former naval
attache OF the German embassy in
Washington and most active OF the
German pIotters on American soil be-
fore the United States entered the
war, has left the diplomatic corps to
join the German navy. according to
news dispatches reaching Washing
ton.
Boyd was the first of the Ger
man officials sent home by the Unit
ed States Government before the
break in relations. with him went
Captain Won Papen, the then military
attache.
Since his return to Germany, little
has been heard OF Captain Boyd.
There were reports following the sew
erance Of relations that Boyd had
returned to the United States incog-
nito on a new plotting mission, but
this was never verified.
Boyd was Count Won Bernstorff's
riEht-hand man in most Of the in
trigues that preceded the entrance of
the United Sites into the war. 1t
was he who backed Huerta with Ger
man gold in the abortive attempt OF
the exiled chieftain to launch q new
revolution in Mexico.
Working with DR.. Dumba, the then
Austrian ambassador, Boyd helped
engineer the plots in American NUM-
tions works holding contracts with
tho allies, and It was he who was
given responsibility for engineering
the plot to blow up the Welland
canal.
1t is assumed Boyd will be given
command of one OF the vessels of the
German feet.
