the purpose ID to stimulate the spirit ofthrift throughout

Reduced to its simplest terms, the plan is that thu

means. shall deposit their small savings with the govern.
ment for a period Of five years or less. receiving interest
at the rate of five per cent, couhpounded quaztsrly.
The unit used IN this system Is five dollars, and In
stead Of the investor depositirs the round sum or five
dollars. and at the end Of the term being paid five dollars
plus the accumulated interest, he viii pay to the govern
ment whenever he makes his deposit q sum which. wtth
accumulated interest, will amount to five dollars At thu
end Of the term. This plan has been devised in the inter.
est Of simplicity. N,
From now until February /. 1913, the individual ma
purchase a war savings stamp for $4.12. On January L
1928; he will receive for his stamp $500. In February
of next year he must pay $4.13 for his stamp, and 20 on
the price increasing one cent each month. In each
case the stamp viii be redeemed at maturity for $500
In addition to selling these i've dollar stamps, the

A GOOD OBJECT LESSON

The imposition of a sentence Of nve years in the
penitentiary on Mrs. OHare for reasonable utterances
made last summer at Bowman is an object lesson which
ought to be effective. And the sentence is thoroughly
1merited. This woman had publicly made statements
rejecting on the American government, calculated to
discourage enlistment, and directly intended to inter-
.fere with the enlistment of men in the army 1t was
quite likely to prompt resistance to the draft law. Her
behavior was reasonable an the way through.
Fortunately, too, the fudge in fixing sentence was
not confined in estimating the character Of the defend
ant and the measure of her suflt, to the bare facts
which had been ascertained by the jury. The Jury was
convinced by indisputable evidence that TIP woman had
committed the specific acts charged. AS to the spirit
dn which these acts we're committed the Judge had for
his guidance the record Of the woman, and that record
showed that she had been a persistent and malevolent
aeitator against the work Of the government, that she
had shown, disloyalty on a score of occasions. And he
had further the behavior and the language Of the de-
fendant herself when she was given free rein to speak
her mind before court and jury before sentence was
passed. She was Offensive and defiant. She repeated
her former remarks, with additions. She richly de-
serves her five years in prison, and she is lucky to get
OF with that.

WRITE THAT LETTER
War condt

War conditions have forced a change in our man
ner OF observing Christmas. The recognition Of the
need for economy has caused greater emphasis than
Usual to b placed upon the idea Of utility in the max
ing Of presents. and various other changes, growing out
OF the abnormal conditions Of the time, are noted.
But there is a Christmas custom, old and honored,
convenient and inexpensive which need never be neg
lected, and for which there is this year perhaps sreater
cause than ever. That is the writing OF the Christina
letter. A few minutes will suffice to write the letter
and a few cents will carry it to the ends Of the earth,

SUFFRAGE AND SERVICE

should women vote? Perhaps they should; perhaps
not Opinions differ widely on the subject. But at least
one Argument that has been Sadvanceda against women suf-
frase has been exploded SO effectively that to reasonable
its fragments will hskeafter Be IN impssibHity
One Of the stock arguments against equal suffrage
has been that women should not vote because they cannot
bear arms. The idea seemed to be that only those should
have a direct voice in shaping the political affairs Of their
country who are able. II needed, to assume weapons and
armor and go to the front to defend the interests OF their
country In actual physical combat. Inability to do this
was construed - evidence Of . hack Of completeness in
the qualities which go to make up full citizenship.
We may pass over the fact that IN this war compa-
MES and regiments Of women have been formed for mill
tasy duty. and that in some cases these units have &C
Quilted themselves ereditably at the front. Most of US,
even though we can school ourselves to regard with some
sort Of resignation the butcher Of war when men engage
in it, look with utter repugnance upon the participation
of women in the bloody business. i
But in order to dispose Of the anti-suffrage argument
IT 10 not necessary to consider the activities OF women's
battalions on the fighting fronts. We have other facts
which dernonstrate thai women's part in this war is not
less necessary or honorable than those Of her brothers.
Within soundSof the guns, and amid the very hail Of the
shella. she is risking her life to bring aid to the wounded,
to close the eyes Of the dying. Amid disease and death she
is carrying her ministrations to those who are in need.

and strengthening the soldier. And in a million homes

STORING GARDEN VEGETABLES
FOR WINTER USE

The home gardens have produced
an abundance OF vegetables this year,
and an effort should be made to util-
ize all that have been raised.
All OF the root vegetables may be
kept for winter use by placing them
in pit Many prefer using pit,
even tho they have potato cellar, or
other storage place that could be
used. Vegetables kept in this man
ner seem to retain better flavor
than those kept in cellar. Cabbage
may also be kept to advantage in
box or barrel buried in the ground.
or in a trench.
Bcets, carrots and other root vege-
tables need not be put in pit, or
dinarily. before about the middle of
October. Frost and light freezes do
not seem to seriously hurt these veg
etables.
For home use very convenient
pit can be made as follows: Select
dry place and dig a pit eighteen to
twenty-four inches deep, two or three
feet wide. and as long as necessary
to hold the vegetables to be pitted.
This pit may be lined with straw,
and the vegetables then piled in; or
boxes of convenient sizes can be
placed in the pit with the vegetables
in the boxes.
,t,. ,,tt
with straw, dry pea vines, or hay, to
a depth of four to six inches. Three
or four inches of dirt can then be
thrown over the straw, except in the
center of the pit, which should be
higher than the edges. The vege-
tables should be rounded up so as to
make the center of the pile higher
than the edges.
1t will add greatly in the conven-
ience of removing vegetables to make
frame work of boards or brush
over the vegetables before the straw
Is placed on the pit. This will allow
part or all of the vegetables to be
removed without the pit caving in.
An opening should be left at one
end, preferably to the south, so that
the vegetables may be removed from
time to time. This opening should
be covered with straw and as the sea
son advances, the amount of dirt
over the balance of the pit should be
increased. The greatest danger il
pitting root vegetables is in getting
them too warm.
Anyone desiring further detailed
information regarding pitting vege
tables may receive same by calling a
the County Agriculturist Office.

BILL RECOMME ENDED
BY LABOR COMMITTEE T
Eight Hour Day Measure Has
Good Prospects of Being En-
acted Into Law.

ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. s.-rhe bill
providing for an eight-hour day for
state employees, introduced in the
senate by J. D. Sullivan of st. Cloud,
was recommended for passage by the
senate labor committee this week.
Two senators voted against the bill.
Denegre of Ramsey and Peterson of
Meeker county. They maintained the
cost to the state would be too great
to make the change at this time.
Senator Sullivan made a vigorous
and telling argument in favor Of the
bill. He claimed the people of the
country had spoken in unmistakeable
terms on the question of the eight
hour day at the last election.
1T is not a mere question of dollars
and cents" said Senator Sullivan.
1T Is a question as to whether the
legislature of the state of Minnesota
/ is willing to do the square thing by
! kstate employees"
A vigorous fight is in prospect when
the bill reaches the floor of the senate,
with the prospects in favor Of the
measure.
