To make use of ones Home
stead Right and thus buy quar-
ter section of this rich drained
clover, stock and dairy land by
registering ones application with
our Representative now and thus
obtain the benefit Of such eff
cient expert service and advice
as we render, will enable the
busy purchaser to use his valu-
able right to secure 100 acres
of this rich Minnesota farm land
in what will become one of Min
nesota's most desirable agrichl-
tural districts. This land will
be of great value and the pur-
chaser will, by using his right
to a quarter section thereof, add
thousands of dollars to his as
sets.
Everyone should take advan-
tage of this, the best and the
last opportunity for using ones
Homestead Right under the Vol
stead Act (requiring no resi-
dence or improvements). It is
the easiest way for using ones
Homestead right ever offered by
the Government. This is very
small investment, but positively
the safest, soundest and most
profitable investment obtainable.
Remember, that the main con-
sideration in securing this land
is the use of ones Homestead
Right and that such an oppor-
tunity will never be offered
again.
These Reservation Lands are
sold by the government subject
to Ditch Tax, averaging about
$40 per quarter section per year,
for a period of twenty years
said Ditch Tax pays for the
bitches, roads, culverts and
bridges constructed along these
lands. Reduction in the gene1 al
taxes during the said period,
however, will offset this Ditch
Tax, owing to the splendid auto
mobile road system simultan-
eously erected with the construc-
tion Of these bitches, and are
thus paid for out Of the same
fund. These splendid auto roads
make all of the lands in the
drained districts accessible at
once, which creates big selling
values to these lands thus OBJ
tainable at $475.00 per quarter
section.
The purchaser is dealing with
Uncle Sam and will receive his
or her patent (deed) direct from
the Government at from three
to twelve months after paying
for the land. The Receivers Re-
ceipt issued to the purchaser up
on paying for the land at the
United States Land Office, how.
ever, is equivalent to the Patent
and the land can be sold or mort.
gagged by the purchaser imme.
sdiately after his or her pur.
Echase Of same.

loaves to Be Sold at Cost. :

Minneapolis Aug. 30.-Public bread
markets are to be established in the
larger cities of Minnesota within tho
next 30 days by the State Public Safety
commission, according to statement
made by DR.. e. Dana Durand, acting
as agent for the commission in the
Investigation Of food prices, when he
appeared before the committee on or
.dinances and legislation of the City
council. He asked, on behalf of the
Public Safety commission, that the
council take no further action on the
standard size bread loaf ordinance
that is now under Injunction awaiting
the decision of the court as to its Va
lidity and constitutionality.
Each city is to have at least one
market within the next month where
the people can purchase bread at q
price lower than it is possible for tho
retail merchant to make, and the mar,
ket will be run strictly on the cash
and carry" plan, with no deliveries:
II the first market in each city proves
to be success, more markets will be
established. .<..-.. ....~

In a nation of over one hundred mil
lions, it would not be strange IT there
were some .miguided, some not loyal,
but they are few. Of course there
are immense numbers Of people who
do not agree with their neighhors vi
one detail OF other Of policy AID de.
tail, but that is not reprehensible. 1t
is essential to vigorous life in q repub'
lie that there be diversity of opinion
and it is not to be expected that the
habits of hundred years are to be
changed in the twNAkling Of an eye.
This, however, has nothing to do with
patriotism. The overwhelming ma
iority of American citizens are patri-
otto; those who are not are an exceed
ingly small quantity, and they grow
less every day. The duly constituted
authority declared war. It had right
to do so. The American citizen, if he
believes in law and order, must support
his government, must stand by it. He
must make sacrifices in time of war
that peace does not demand. That is
one Of the tests Of his duty as a citi-
zen.

PEOPLES COUNCIL TO FARGO.
ACCEPT GOVERNORS INVITATION
TO MEET IN NORTH DAKOTA.
People Of States Chief City, However,
Do Not Want Meeting and Rumb-
Iinqs Of Protest Are Heard.

Minneapolis, Aug. 30.-The Peoples
council has shaken the dust of Min
nesota from its feet.
Louis Lochner, executive secretary,
and H. E. Williams, publicity direc-
tor, packed up headquarters and board
ed a train for Fargo, North Dakota.
They had in their pockets an invita-
ton from Governor Frazier, promising
them q welcome and plenty of protec-
ton in his state.
From the capital Of North Dakota
there came, however, ominous words.
A dispatch from Bismarck set it down
as the sentiment of North Dakotans
that they didn't have the welcome
sign out for the Peoples council there
in spite Of the governors invitation.
Want to Prevent Meeting.
A special meeting of the city COM
p; missioners of Fargo will be called by
Mayor Alex Stern to direct what &C.

Without the Civil war, Grant, Sher,
man and many other important figures
in the national life, would have been
unknown. If the present war has much
duration, many now unknown heroes
will come to the front, and just as ex,
soldiers dominated the politics and
business of the country for years after
the Civil war, so will the politics and
business of this country be again in
fluenced by the men who serve in the
present war. The old saying that re-
bubbles are ungrateful did not prove
true so far as this land was concerned.

suddenness the committee revised ito.
plan and decided to take, not $780,.
100000, but almost $500, 000,0 900 in adj
d1tion to like sum In the bill.
Friends Of the war revenue bill con.
sidered this radical step necessary in
order to save their measure from being
slashed to bits by the radicals"
; Chairman Simmons of the commit4
tee introduced amendments calculated
to raise the total of the bill to about
two and half billion dollars. Exists
ing taxes produce $26,000,000 from ex4
cessive war profits. The bill takes in
addition $562, 100000 But the revision
will increase this 562,00O,00O to

A new maximum Of 60 per cent on

;stituted for a maximum Of so per cent
on profits above ESQ per cent as set

The attack on war profits is by no
means over. The fact that these pro-
fits are estimated at between two and
four billion dollars has attracted the
attention of senators. After the COM

directed new drive at war profits.
He offered a scheme taxing the war
babies up to Is per cent. His COLI
league, Senator Underwood, will
speak for this plan.
A move to close debate upon the

such a motion. In support of this an.
nouncement, he offered a petition late.

j. PROPOSALS.
THOUGHT WILSON'S PLAN
WILL IMPRESS RUSSIA
No RejoineP From Vatican 10 Expected
In Immediate Future-Other Allied
Countries to Send Replies to
Pontlff, Endorsing Words
Of President Wilson.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Discussion of
President Wilson's rejection of the
Pope's peace proposals in diplomatic
circles revealed that even some of the
Allied governments were unprepared
for the prompt fashion in which the
President disposed Of q matter of such
tremendous Importance. There had
been no doubt at any time as to the
general nature of the reply and the
understanding is that the United
States was generally looked to as the
nation to speak first, but some of the
allied foreign officers, accustomed to-
long deliberated moves in diplomacy,
regarded the exchanges that had been
going on between Washington and
their own capitals as barely completed.
They had rather expected further dis
cussion of the time for dispatching
replies.
Had Good Reason.
It was recalled, however, by the
allied representatives in Washington
that President Wilson must have had
some good and sufficient reason for
acting SO quickly. Speculation as
cribes the motive to q desire to inn
press favorably the great Russian con-
vention at Moscow while that body still
Is in plastic and receptive state. It
also was suggested that the President
might have wished to anticipate by:
bis remarkable state paper obstructive
action by the pacific elements in and;
out of Congress in the United States:
No Papal Rejoiner Expected. -
No rejoiner from the vatican is ex-
pected here in the immediate future:
Comment from the press of Europe, in
Guiding Germany and Austria, is
awaited with interest. Bitter attacks;
upon the American note by the Ger.
man press and possibly condemnatory
speeches by German officials are fully;
expected when the Presidents reply is:
finally allowed to leak through the
censors to the German public. But
for the present, at least, no further at
tempts at peace negotiations on the
old basis, involving continuance in;
power of the present autocratic Ger-|
man regime, is anticipated.
Revolt May Develop.
While the Germans may make war
with added desperation because of the
weeping indictment of their method,
It is confidently believed here that the
spirit of revolt will develop steadily
and rapidly among the people in Ger
many; bringing nearer the day whom
they will assert themselves to the
point where President Wilson may feel
safe in listening to the peace overtures
In the conviction that they are from
German people themselves and not
from the overlords and military des.
pots.
