She was firm in her conviction against armed
neutrality, and she believed Americans should
stay out of the war zone. What can't COM
prehend," she confded, 'is how some people
who call themselves Pacifsts seem to follow the
President, no matter what he does. They take
the attitude that Congress is more beIigerent
than the President, and that is not at all true"
"You lead me to believe" said, that there
is no peace in the Peace Party"
NV new friend was very peppery. why
shouldn't we disagreed" she cried. I'VE ar
rive at our conclusions by thinking. There is
no excuse for militarists to disagree; all they
want to do is to fight! You see, some of US
believe that the President is inclined toward
pacifsm, and that it is best for him TO have all
the power. But don't-Im a Socialist my

TOBOGGAN THRONGED;;
IDEAL C0ASTING DAY

Yesterday was ideal for toboggan-
ing and the slide was crowded to its
utmost capacity for several hours in
the afternoon.
The cold weather coated the tobog-
gan with a veneer of ice and the
snow on the runway on the lake was
packed hard and ice coated, enabling
the coasters to ride far out on the
lake.
To prevent any possible accidents
Chief Ripple was in personal charge
of the toboggan and saw to it that
toboggans we're not allowed to start
too closely together, and not mis-
hap occurred during the presence Of
the big crowd. For six hours Chief
Ripple stayed and supervised the to-
boggan and not only did he watch the
participants but started the tobog-
gans for the pleasure seekers.

but stated that if Americans are held

l}LNES ARE LOST
MINNEAPOLIS FIRE:
HOTEL IS SWEPT;
LADDERS LACKING
(By United Press)

w OAAAV~A = ASs~/
Minneapolis, Feb. 13.-Thirteen
lives are believed to have been lost
in a fire at midnight last night
which swept the Kenwood hotel, and
the bodies of twelve of the victims
are believed to be encased in the ice
coated ruins of the hostelry.
sixty.eight persons were living in
the hotel and the panic which en-
sued as smoke and flames burst forth
was terrible to behold.
One woman, Mrs. Lucille Squire,
jumped from an upper story to the
icy pavement and was instantly kill
ed. Her body is at the morgue.
The mercury was 16 below at the
time of the condagration and when
the fire department responded to the
alarm it was twenty minutes late and
then the company arrived without
ladders to reach the victims impris-
oned in the upper stories of the
hotel.
Spectators became infuriated at the
fire company and attacked Captain
Tim Sullivan, he receiving hard
blow over the head. A stream of wa
ter on the angry crowd and the cold
quelled the outburst.
The loss is estimated at $35, 900.

CORN GATHERING.

AS corn has been so badly
frost-bitten in this section, it re.
quires a great deai of care and at
lentiOn for this corn. In gather
ing, the corn should be seper
ated. Thoroughly MANFRED corn
should be placed in one crib and
sappy damaged corn in another.
1t will be better to leave this
corn in the field on the stalk
than to put it in the crib. If
will dry faster. and the moisture
will evaporate from the cob much
quicker if left in the field, espec-
tally on the standing stalks.
Corn has been damaged at
least thirty per cent. and much
care should be given to the saw
ing of the other seventy per
/ cent.

The Council of
NationalDefense

The whole nation is icing
affected by the present rapid
change in business and social
conditions, every locality being
affected most in lines where the
demand exceeds the local supply,
and while the Food and Fuel Ad-
miristrators are helping solve
these problems. they will never
be brought to normal during the
war, which is as likely to last ten
years as to end in one. So all
the business men, farmers and
laborers should unite In an effort
to make the sparsely populated
rural districts and small towns as
nearly independent of outside
supplies of food, clothing and
fuel as possible ard lessen the
shipping of raw material out and
finished products back, which
congests freight traffic and to
this extent interferes with the
shipment of munitions of war. 1t
is of great importance that wher-
ever possible food be conveyed
direct from the producer to the
Consumer.
The privilege of having an
abundance OF meat has been
abused by our people. Many
families think no meal is com
plete without one or more kind.
of meat, when in fact we are in
juring our health by excessive
use of meats and at the same
time helping the Kaiser.
1t means much to the caus,
of Liberty that we eat more corr
bread and thus enable this county
to ship more wheat to Europe
There is more nutrition In
pound of wheat than in pount

from shipping in bulk than will

know how to bake corn breat
