Eleven years ago considerable cap

DEFENSE OR TRIRuTE?.

The great Photo Play picture, Ode
tense or Tribune" will be presented
at the Lyric Friday July 6. The pic
ture has incurred its e-by reason
of the fact that the New York Tribune
and over thousand other newspapers
throughout the country are endorsing
the picture as an argument in favor
of preparedness.
Defense or Tribute" is an argu-
ment for preparedness in the form of
a series of historical dramas, based
upon incidents in the ANIMALS of the
Jews, the Gauls, the Italians, the
French and others, the North Amer
lean Indians. All the peoples were
the victims of unpreparedness, and
their fates are taken as a moral to
"adorn the tale" of this film, which
advocates peace by way of prepared
ness.
There will be three runs of the reel.
A matinee at 2:30 p. m. Prices 25-15
cents, and two shows at night at 7:30
and 900 o'clock. General admission
at night Is cents. In addition to the
big attraction a comedy reel will offer
good wholesome fun for everyone.
The porfits of this entertainment will
go to the Local Red Cross fund.

Obituary.
MARTIN vOOG.

At $50 Monday morning, July 2,
1917, death relieved the suffering of
Martin Voog. Last February he was
taken sick and at first it was supposed
that he was suffering with rheumatism
but later it developed that his ailment
was due to heart and artery troubles
from which he suffered untold pains
until the time of his death.
Martin Voog was born in Deerfeld,
Wis, May 2, 1874, where the early part
of his life was passed. He was edu-
Gated in the Deerfeld high school. In
after years he clerked for his father in
a store and for time worked at the
printing trade on the Deerfeld News.
In 1898 he was united in marriage to
Miss Betsy Larson of Hillside, and in
the early part of the next year he en-
listed in the Spanish-American war and
served for eight months with the 4th
Wisconsin regiment, receiving an hon
orable discharge at the close of the
war.
In 1901 he went to Crandon, Wis,
and remained there for time and in
1903 he moved to Edgerton and in 1904
commenced working for the Edgerton
Telephone Co. and remained in their
employ and on the pay roll up to the
time of his death, always being a trust
ed and faithful man and one whom the
company will greatly miss.
To mourn their loss he leaves wife
and three children, Hazel, Gordon and
Charlotte, a mother, Mrs. Knute Voog,
two sisters, Mrs. Albert Larson and
Mrs. Rev. Sponde, both of Eagle
Grove, Iowa, and one brother Theodore
of Crosby, Mimi.
The sympathy of the entire commun-
ity is extended to the wife and family
in their bereavement
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
Linnevold, We're held at o'clock from
the home and at 2 o'clock from the
Lutheran church Thursday and inter-
ment made ii the Jensen cemetery,
that being his expressed desire week
before his death.

Resolutions of Coincidence and Respect

The H. A. Preus Academy Corpora

family and the stricken community.

of sorrow and strife to his heavenly
home of peace, we are reconciled 70
His doing, and we thank and praise
Him for the noble, self-sacrifcing ex-
ample He has given US in His departed
servant, and we pray that He may let
it help US to continue in the line of his

moral and spiritual uplift of the COM

TURKEYS TO BE CHEAP.

Here's good cheer for Thanksgiving.
Turkey and other poultry are plentiful
and the food administration hopes to
fix the margin of profits to dealers In
such way that prices will be within
reason. The food administration de.
MED the reports that II was frowning
on the liberal use of turkeys for the
holidays because the government Is
in the market buying turkeys to send
to the soldiers in France. Harry A.
Wheeler Illinois representative Of the
food administration, received a mes.
sage from the food administrator at
Washington relative to the matter.
I'VE not only recommend but en-
courage the American people to eat
plenty of poultry, not only for Thanks
giving, but for the duration OF the
war;" reads the message. There Is
a surplus of poultry In storage now
and by utilizing II freely we can, as
a nation, export more beef, pork, NUT
ton. and other red meats"
Mr.. Wheeler said he hoped price
margins would be fixed by Nov. / SO
as to prevent those dealing in turkeys
and other poultry from boosting prices
as has been their habit in the past
just before Thanksgiving and Christ

THE POST OFFICE IN THE WAR

The Chicago post Office Is showing
up well in the matter of being both
useful and patriotic. Many of the
rank and file of the service have en-
tered the army or the navy.
General James E. Stuart, the post
office inspector in charge, who Is a
veteran of the Civil and Spanish
American wars, is the Colonel of the
new 18th Illinois, whose roster The
Eagle published few weeks ago. We
have known General Stuart personally
for over forty years and have never
known a better public official.
Colonel Leroy T. Steward, General
Superintendent of City Delivery is an,
other official whose marked efficiency
we have always admired, whether he
displayed it as head of the delivery
system OF the post Office or as Chief
OF Police Of Chicago. This efficiency
he is also giving to the state as Colo,
mel OF another of the new Illinois regi.
ments which promises to be a crack
one.

John ii. Snodgrnss, who until No

Moscow, n post which he had held for
seven years, thus explained the case
of the man now on trial In PetrOgrad-
the Russian eX-minister to whom the
continuance of the war has been at

and money less, the German armies on
the eastern front might have been
beaten long ago, II not by power of

bers.

that his acts of conspiracy We're

CHICAGO NEEDS SHIP YARDS FOR
GOVERNMENT WORK.

Whether Chicago gets a government
shipyard depends on Chicago. Edward

States shipping board, declared. Mr..
Hurley came west to look over vari.
Gus sites that have been proposed, and
to attend to some personal affairs.
Coincident with his arrival In the city
there slipped from the ways of the
Chicago Shipbuilding company at East
101st street and the Calumet river the
first vessel to be launched for the
Emergency Fleet corporation, one of
the shipping boards divisions.
Chicago has not been awake to the
possibilities of shpbuiding as Toledo,
Buffalo. Cleveland and other lake
ports have been" Mr.. Hurley said.
"She is not building the ships she
ought to build. The materials are
here and the men are here. II is up
to the city to get the yards.

ground Is furnished the shipping
board will see that Chicago gets her
