HELP WIN WAR BY MODERATE
EATING

Nothing edible should be wasted in
these days of war, says Dean A. F.
Woods Of the Minnesota College Of
Agriculture. Every particle of human
food should be saved. Food supplies
should be carefully guarded from flies
and dirt, and no food materials should
be allowed to spoil. They should be
canned or preserved in some way to
prevent this. Moderate eating should
be encouraged. By such means the sup
plies Of food for the armies which are
fighting the battles Of brotherhood and
peace may be more successfully sup
ported and an end Of the war be- has
tened.

Washington, May 24.-The war rev
.enue bill, framed to bring into thu
treasury $500, 10000 through new
taxation during the coming year, ha,
passed the House by a vote of 329 Il
rs in almost the same form that II
was presented by the Ways and Meani
committee two weeks ago.
All the opposing votes were cast BY
Republicans, although there are many
members on the Democratic side
strongly opposed to certain sections o.
the measure. Virtual redrafting of thu
bill in the Senate is regarded as Ger
tain.
Changes Contemplated In Senate.
Material changes already are con
templated by the Senate finance com
mittee as result of public hearings
held during the long debate on thu
bill.
Final passage of the bill probably
cannot be accomplished in less than 4
month.
Bills Outstanding Feature.
Outstanding features of the bill arr
the greatly increased income, inherit
ance, excess profits, liquor and ciga1
and tobacco taxes, virtual abolition Of
the present customs free list and q
10 per cent addition to existing tariffs
new taxes on manufactures, amuse
ments, clubs, public utilities and in
surance, far-reaching stamp tax and
a greatly increased second class mail
matter rate based on the parcel post
zone system.
Print Paper on Free List.
In only four particulars does the
measure now differ substantially from
the original draft. Surfaces on in.
comes above $4,000 have been in
creased about. one-foupth above the
committee schedule. Several articles,
Including print paper and pulp and
gold and silver, slated for a 10 per
cent duty, have been kept on the free
list. Slight reductions in the second
class mail matter rate have been
made. A proposed s per cent tax on
Ill advertising except newspaper and
periodical is eliminated.
Attacks on the bill in the Senate
will center around the excess profits,
income and manufactures tax and the
second-class mail rate increase sec.
tons. Business men generally are
protesting vigorously against the taxes
and virtually every publisher in the
country is opposing the drastically in.
creased mail rate.
Pleads for Measure.
In a final effort to summon all Of
his party votes to support of the meas.
ure, Democratic Leader Kitchin de-
clared he had been informed personal.
~ by President Wilson that he did not
desire changes in the bill in the Sen.
ate, as had been currently reported.
Mr.. Kitchin also appealed earnestly to
ELL members to supply the President
with money to carry on the war now

THE KID HAS GONE TO THE COL
0RQ

ORS
The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the flag today.
We thought him a child, a baby,
With never a care at all,
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered
''Come!''
The Kid, not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot Joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we re proud of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
It seems but little while
Since he drilled schoolboy army
In truly martial style.
But now he's a man, soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered
His MOTHERHOOD bless her! cried;
Yet, blest with a mother nature,
She wept with a mother pride.
But he whose shoulders Strengthened
Was grandad-for memory ran
To the years when he, too, a youngste1
Was changed by the flag to a man.

A justice court complaint picked up
on the streets one day this week re-
minded one of old times. The COM
plant which was dated in Nov. 1892,
charged one Of our citizens of that
time with being intoxicated and dis
turber of the peace. John Roy, chief
Of police, was the complainant, and
Hon. John Simmons was the justice be-
fore whom it was brought. An indis-
tinct lead pencil notation looks as
though the penalty was So and costs,
the standard charge for an over album
dance Of hilarity in those times.
St. Cloud Journal-Press: The news
papers Of the country are asked to con-
tribute valuable advertising space to
help place the seven billion dollar war
loan. They will cheerfully do this, as
rule, as the public press has ever
been in the boosting line for the gov
eminent, the state and their own mu-
nicipality. Incidentally most of them
are carrying the heavy burden of in
creased cost Of production, and furnish
ing their papers at the same subscrip-
ton price-but how long they will be
able to do this is one Of the unsolved
problems of the future.
Fairmont Sentinel: It surely is-it
surely is. And the new war revenue
bill seems to take fendish delight in
hitting the newspapers up one side
and down the other. If passed in the
form proposed, it will drive many de-
serving papers out Of existence. Why
this discrimination against business
which is conceded to be foremost in
public spirit and patriotism is some
thing no one can explain or understand.
