costs has been so great that the
raise in wages will be doubly well

the fact that the government has

And it is comforting thought
that the wage increase is given
without the asking, character

not one that grinds down the la

Years ago the down-trodden peo-
pie from foreign lands came to this
country to share in our fertile lands
and make a home. Those who
came were we'll pleased and at once
became citizens under the best flag
on earth. Of late years however,
things have changed and a large
part come to clean up" and re-
turn to their native land with a
wad. Others have come over to
run the government and attempted
to do so as soon as they got a
square feed under their belt. To
harras the government has been
their aim, scheming with might
and main to cripple the country's s
powers and resources. A general
cleaning up is about due. Send

of tin is consumed in the manufacture
of tinfoil, tons of which are used an

TEN RULES
Kaiser Paid Agitators and Anti.
War Shouters Please Notice.

Every once in a while some
freak American is heard making
his play to the gallery on the war
proposition. No two OF them
have the same idea and while
they are doing their bit to ham,
per the government and the real
people of America, they seem to
lack a systematic guide for
their work and display a sad
lack of unity with the result that
some OF them have been some
what "beat up" while others find
themselves behind the bars. For
the benefit of this class of poll
parrots who are only repeating
the words of the German pre-
pared dope, we will present this
set OF ten rules and recommend
them for close study to those who
want to promote efficiency in
their work of aiding the enemy.
The ten rules are as follows:
l. Assert on every occasion
that "Wall Street. made the
War" Never mind explaining
when, how or why.
2. Get in all the sneers you can
at any profession Of ideal mo-
tives. If you can find any flaw
in our democracy say that "we
are just as bad an autOcracy as
Germany" Place the war in as
sordid light as possible.
3. 1t is dangerous to denounce
the United States directly. But
rake history from end to end for
mud to throw. at the allies. Es-
pecially, twist the lions tail.
4. Profess great concern lest
sending food to Europe will
starve America. Support every
embargo movement that applies
to the allied nations and none
that does not.
5. If the president asks for any
extension of power rave about
dictatorship" and the cover
throw of the liberties for which
our fathers, etc. !"
6. Spread rumors that the
allies are going to betray us or
take advantage of us as soon as
we are deeply enough involved
FIN the war.
Z. Accept conscription in prin-
ciple but hamper it's working in
every possible way. One good
way is to start scares about rev.
olutions and internal disorder as
a pretext for keeping a large part
of the army at home.
s. Demonstrate that the enemy
is unconquerable and victory
hopeless. Play the candid
friend and act as a depresant.
9. Be very jealous to prevent
"entangling alliances and be
much concerned about the Mon
roe doctrine if we "mix our
selves in European quarrels.'' A
permanent league of nations
would embarrass your junker
friends if they remain in power
after the war. Germany can
only hope TO conquer other ma
tions if they act selfshly and in
isolation.
10. When driven to make an
unequivocal statement protest
your loyalty and then change the
subject.

Laying out Lots

State Forester A. B. Gibbs has
laid.o out 103 lots on the Trout Lake
portage on Lake Vermilion which
will be leased to campers and for
building purposes. The lots have
a frontage of 200 feet on the lake
shore. Forester Gibbs will also
lay out large number of lots for
the same purpose on the state
forest at Burnside.
