possess no commercialistic tendencies.
The Indian, usually accompanied by
the squaw, paddles in his canoe about
the lake. He bends the heads of the
rice over the edge of the canoe, and
with short stick knocks off the grain.
When he has sufficient load he pro-
ceeds to shore and puts the crude grain
into vats or big kettles. Building fire
beneath the kettles, he roasts it until
the hulls become dry and brittle and
the grain is then put into big box and
the old Indian climbs into the box and
tramps on the grain with his moccasin-
ed feet until the hull and the grain are
entirely separated The final process is
the winnowing which is done by hand
and the grain is then carried to the
merchant where it is sold. An Indian
and his wife working together can ga
ther and clean about Forty pounds of
wild rice a day. The selling price this
year is fifteen cents a pound and conse-
quently the ChippeWass=spe earning
good wages.

Harvesting wild Rice.

The harvesting of wild rice is becom-
ing an Itasca county industry Of no
mean proportion. It would surprise
some people to know THAT several huns
.dred people are engaged in this work
for a short time of each year, and that
a crop Of many thousands of dollars in
value is harvested annually.
All are familiar with the wild rice
plant as it. is found in the northern
lakes. It is plant, tall growing, grass
like plant, which thrives in the shall
low, sluggish waters of northern Itasca
county. The rice itself much resembles
the wild oat, possessing a huH and a
small grain. This grain is both paIat-
able, and nutritious and is in large de
mand not only for use with game din
ners, but as ordinary food.

"A New Political Party Born.

At Chicago on Oct. 3, a new Nation
al@party'', as yet unnamed, was born.
The new. party is to be recruited from
the Prohibit ition, Progressive, Single Tax
and social-D Democratic groups, the lat

Of the Socialist party. The merging Of
these parties into one, will make a
strong organization, if the old member

to drop it's identity as third party, a
position it has held for nearly a third

School Discipline. .

In choosing the public school teach
Esrs, the biggest problem is always to
\ find the people who have the gift Of
discipline. This does not mean per-
functory submission to authority,
where the children are sufficiently
scared to keep quiet. It means con-
diticn where the pupils Loyalty take
hold to work and where they feel re-
sponsibility for the condition Of the
school.
In the old days, things never settled
down in a school until the matter OF
authority had been firmly settled. In
the back woods districts many were
the unfortunate pedagogs who were
dumped out Of doors In the bushes by
the big boys. When the school board
secured more athletic instructor,
quiet reigned and the pupils worked as
|docilely as old sheep.

ed in Minnesota
f The immediate purpose Of this great
conference is to work out the plans
which will guide the half million school
children of Minnesota in helping to put
on the gigantic Hoover pledge card
campaign in this state, November to

every home in the state to sign the ma
tional pledge to substitute as many
vegetables, fruits, fish and breads.

: HOmesick Soldiers.

Are there any among our brave boys?
They wouldn't be human If there
weren't. And it will merely mean
strong attachment to home. Probably
the boys who have the most Of this
feeling, will also have the most of the
similar feeling of patriotism and will
fight best. 4. ,,s.gs
Observers. Of the soldier 81 boys say
that the majority Of them looked cheer
full as they departed. But others
couldn't keep back the tears. Perhaps
1T was not SO much the thought that
they might not return, as that they had
never been away from home before.
The sons Of the rich are apt to. be
sent away tolschools and camps, where
they acquire the valuable quality of
self reliance The sons Of the poor also
are apt to have to shift for themselves
and go among strangers. But among
those neither rich or poor, there are
many who find work near home, and
live under its sheltering care until
some great change comes like this.
When young. men go away from all
home restraint, the result is often dis
astrous. All supervision being re
moved, there is nothing to hold them
straight but the memory of early in
struction, and with many active young
men that soon fades out.
The soldier boys will be pretty well
looked after. Their officers will be
largely educated men Of good intellect
ual standards. There will be the
camps of the Y. NJ. G. A. and the
knights Of Columbus, ETC., to give
moral and religious guidance. Any
boy who wants to do the right can find
plenty of friendship and help. The
whole tone of the camps will be against
any dissipation. Under these condi-
tions the chances for their moral vel,
fare are better than if cast adrift in
strange cities to earn their owl. living.

WOMEN TO ENROLL

! Registration Of all willing to assist
the government in any way is asked.
The United States government,
through the Nationak Counsel Of De-
Tense has asked for voluntary enroll
ment Or registration of ali women, who
are able and willing to assist the gov
ernment in any manner in the present
emergency, as well as those who desire

coordinate the activities of all our
willing workers so that each may assist
in the manner in which she may be
most helpful and record may be pro-
cured of the many women in the state
who desire to enroll their names for
service. In order that there may be in
every community practical information
as to what women are available and
willing to fill the working needs and as
to the manner in which all can be Of
assistance in winning the war, it is
earnestly hoped that much interest
may be manifested in this important
work, undertaken at the request Of the
Council Of National Defense.

Buy Second Liberty Bond and help

invest you can find no safer investment.
These bonds are better than the actual
gold or gold certificates, because they
draw interest at four per cent, and are
easily convertible into money, hence
are as good and even better than

APPEAL TO LOYAL WOMEN OF

Marion Couthouy Smith, the poet,
writes to the Vigilantes The loyal
women Of America should unite in open
opposition to the pernicious activities

These women should be regarded as
traitors, not only to the government OF
their own country, but TO liberty, JUS
tice and humanity itself, all over the
world. For there is no compromise pos
sible today with the force of evil that
is concentrated against all that makes
human life worth living. Everything
is at stake-truth and honor freedom
and safety, the purity of the mother and
the lives Of little children The Teutonic
race has set itself against all these i'm
the interest Of its own aggression and
dominance. In defense of all these we
give our lives and our dearest loves,
aud We ask the grace Of God TO give
them bravely and willingly.
These women see only the single
truth-that war is an evil. They re-
fuse to acknowledge the difference be
tween the aggressor and the defender

heaven and he'll. even If we regard those
words merely as symbols They refuse
