In thinking of this record, 1t pro-
vokes a remark or two Two of
these three homesteaders are women.
Many more women have probably
shomesteaded In this state and prov
en- up. We Women can be trusted
with most, everything except the bal
lot. Strange, Is 1t not? 1t is SO
hard and difficult, to mark an 'sX''
on aballot and it is so easy to clear
land, bring up children, take care
of stock, gardens, wash, scrub. cook
and manage a home. Food for
thought, sisters, is 1t not?
Evidently the children in the, Deer
Lake school must enjoy their work
Or they are proud of their teacher.
The writer has had several very cor
dial invitations from the kiddies to
visit the school this year. One lit
tie boy who. invited me, said when
thanked him for the invitation,
Cant you come Monday?" which
was the next day. It certainly is
pleasing to have the children take
% much interest :. 1t encourages
them TO have their parents and
grownup friends visit the school and
I am wondering If the parents can
realize how much they miss by not
visiting the school more often.
Last Saturday night had the
pleasure of meeting Miss Ida Olson.
Size Is the teacher, at the Tisdell
school in Maple Ridge. It's her
FIRST year in, this section and she
seemingly enjoys It much. She is
from Park Rapids and this is her
NTH year as teacher.

PREPARE NOW FOR
CANNING EXHIBIT
SOME MORE INFORMATION IN
PRESERVING CERTAIN VEGE-
TABLES FOR EXHIBITION.

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. IS
Organize your canning clubs and
make plans for your war gardens ex-
hibits, says today's bulletin from the
National Emergency Food Garden
Commission, which is cooperating
with this newspaper in a nationwide
drive for conserving the garden pro-
duce of the country. The commits
sion will give $4,000 in prizes for the
'est canned vegetables grown in war
gardens and Secretary Ridsdale of the
commission, will be ready to announce
The details of the awards in a few
days.
In the meantime requests for can
ming data is coming in from all over
The country and herewith the commits
ion gives some suggt stions for max
ing the best showing in canned vege-
tables:s
Onions-Small onions of uniform
shape size and color arranged in lay
ers add vanity to the exhibit and are
very attractive.
Califlower-Thism makes one of the
most striking exhibit product when
carefully done. Select young, firm
white heads separate the natural
division and arrange neatly in the jar.
Vegetables mixtures-Some very at
tractive jars of vegetable mixture
nay be made by using corn, carrots
sliced crosswised, peas, string beans
cut into short lengths, sliced beets,
lima beans, etc, by putting in first
layer of one and then another and
on on.
The commission will send to any
reader of this paper for a two-cent
stamp to pay postage, its drying and
canning manuals, which will be of
great help in the hundreds of war
garden exhibitions, state and county
fairs that will be held throughout the
country this year.

NOT CONSISTENT.

The Herald has yet to hear Of a
single case where producer or a
vendor of any product, the price of
which has been enormously increased
as the result of the war, refusing to
accept the added value because Of
objection TO the war. Surely those
who are doing nothing to encourage a
proper spirit of loyalty and service to
country because they don't think the
war is right, or We should have kept
of the high seas" cannot consistently
be parties to the benefits of war. AS
a matter of fact had our great and
glorious president pursued the cow
ardly policy suggested by these objec-
tors and closed our ports to every bit
OF foreign commerce the products that
are now bringing almost undreamed
of prices would hardly be worth their
transportation charges to the market
places. When one shares the benefits
he should be willing to pay his part
of the cost.

UNIQUE LETTER TO
HERALD EDITOR
SCRIBE SAYS HE is
DEFENDER OF THE DlSLOY-
Al PREACHERS.

The editor of The Herald this morn
ing received an anonymous letter,
Not that the fact that he received
an anonymous communication Is
news, because such things often hap
pen. There are lot of people too
cowardly to sign their names to any
thing, but the letter received this
morning is in a class by itself. 1t is
unique. For example, it tells the edi-
tor of The Herald that if he writes
another word in condemnation of dis
loyal and traitorous preachers he will
be hanged like the late Leo NJ. Frank,
and then he adds This is no joke"
1t was unnecessary to make such a
statement for doubtless if Mr.. Frank
could testify he would be the first to
deny that hanging was any joke. 1t
might be a joke on the editor, but it
would be rather difficult to make him
see it in that light.
This letter is also unique in that it
declares that "we' do not intend for
our young men to be taken away
from their wives and babies" and be
taken to France. Here is another bril-
liant paragraph from this scribe, who
is careful to conceal his identity: IF
we have to shed blood we mean to
shed it on this side" Thinking that
the representatives of the federal gov.
eminent might be interested, if they
have time from more serious duties in
the nations crisis, in ferreting out the
brave" and loyal author of this
screed the letter has been referred to
the United States district attorney for
The wonderful feature
Of the whole thing is the conceit of
the man who thinks that one too cow
ardly to sign his name could bluff
anyone from the plain discharge of
his patriotic duty.

DON'T LET 1T FAIL.

Maury county must not cannot fail
to do it's part by the Army and Navy
branch of the Young Mems Christian
Association. Surely it ought to re.
quire no argument to convince the
people of this rich and blessed section
that they should give and give freely
the small amount asked of them for
the noblest cause for which dollars
were ever dedicated. Only $500 is
asked of this county. That is less
than ten cents apiece for the popula-
ton of the county.
The fact that the county gave over
$4,000 to the Red Cross is not an
argument against giving to this cause,
on contrary, it is an added reason why
this equally pressing and solemn OBJ
legation should be met. The Red
Cross is an angel of mercy; it is do
ing and will do work that no other
organization can accomplish. But the
work done by the Y. NJ. G. A. for the
soldiers and sailors is distinct one
from what the Red Cross will do. The
Y. M. G. A. looks after the comfort
the moral and mental welfare of the
boys while they are in the camps. 1t
is their veritable spiritual comforter;
their church as it were during the
long and weary days that they must
spend in camp, in battle line and in
trenches. 1t is the hand maid of the
Red Cross; they work together; Meth,
er does the work that the ether does.
If you doubt the value of the Y. M.
c. A. ask any soldier now in the SER
vice of the nation from general to
private what he thinks. You will be
sure to be convinced by his answer
In the name of the hundreds from
Maury county who will offer them
selves as sublime sacrifice for country
and liberty make this donation Of
paltry $500 to the war fund of the

MILITARY SERVICE.

Those who have been summoned for
military service in defense of their
nation under the uniform draft SER
vice act had just as well understand
that they cannot trife with their gov
eminent in this great crisis. The ma
ton is at war. 1t needs defenders;
il has a right to the service of those
who claim it's protection for life and
liberty. The draft system is fair; the
volunteer system places an undue bur-
den upon those who are truly patriot
ic, who have a proper sense of their
duty and obligations to government.
The draft law, as Gen. Crowder has
plainly said, was passed in the inter
est of the nation and not of the indi-
vidual. Where an individual who is
summoned for military service has a
valid and proper excuse he will be
excused as he should be. But he must
not resort to subterfuges, he must not
be allowed to jeopardize the whole
fabric of government because he is
too Indifferent to it's welfare to do
his duty as a citizen.
Those who resort to subterfuges,
who make excuses that they know
cannot be sustained, who are indiffer-
ent to their obligations, who counsel
others to any but the most loyal
course to the government, are making
trouble for themselves. No reason
able man expects this government to
hesitate in dealing with those who are
disloyal or who are unpatriotic. Its
very existence is at stake. 1t cannot
tolerate fraud or injustice or treason.
Men who claim that they are loyal
and patriotic citizens ought not to en-
courage others to file claims that in
their hearts they know should not be
sustained. Any fraud perpstrated
upon the government must be pun
ished else an Unfair burden will be
imposed upon some.
ANY sort Of resistance to the draft
law is no. TO be thought of. If this
government is too weak and too i'm
