Misleading the Farmers.

Word comes to US of the nefarious
work of Townley and his ''Non-P Partisan
League" among the farmers of Wis
consin that is not at all creditable to
their good sense or their patriotism.
Behind this scheme are the Socialists
with their pro-German propaganda and
r. M. LaFollette. HoarCi's Dairyman
has already exposed the disloyal char
acter and purpose of this organization.
The plan followed is as follows:
A Socialistic solicitor is sent out into
the country to get the farmers to join
this Non-Partisan League. 1t costs
the farmer SIG. The solicitor, it is
said, gets half of it. In order to make
the thing easy he gets some respec-
table farmer to go with him and pays
him SIS day to travel with him and say
nothing. The presence of the farmer
with the solicitor leads the farmers
that are visited to think that the
scheme is alright, although why they
should allow themselves to be buncoed
out of Sic for nothing in return is more
than we can understand. This is the
way the secret opposers of the govern
ment hope to build up powerful So
cialistic organization among the unsus-
pecting farmers under the innocent
looking name of the Farmers Nom
Partisan League It was before this
League at ST. Paul that LaFollette
made that disloyal speech that fired the
whole nation to demand his expulsion
from the Senate. The advice of Hoard 8
Dairyman and our own individually is,
give this German propaganda scheme a
cold shoulder. Keep your money and
your reputation for loyalty intact
Gov. Hoard.

THE present coal shortage with the
consequent high prices is due to unus-
ual conditions brought about by the
world war. The increased demand for
the coal, the shifting of the markets,
the shortage Of mine labor and the diff
ficulty of obtaining cars and boats for
transportation are responsible for the
coal situation which is becoming alarm
ing in some parts of the country. There
is no shortage of coal in the ground.
The main thing is to get the coal out
and distributed to the points of con-
sumption. 1t is hoped that the gov
eminent regulation will provide means
for relieving the present situation but
normal conditions will not prevail until
after the end of the war. This means
that our present supply must be con-
served by every means possible.

Prominent Young Couple of Grassy
Butte Are Married.

One of Dickinson's most highly es-
teemed young ladies, Miss Daisy Wad-
dell, was quietly married last Saturday
evening at the Congregational parson-
age to Nathan H. Saunders OF Edger-
ton, Wis, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. j. G. Duling.
The bride is sister of Mrs. w. ii.
Burnett of this city. She is a graduate
of the high school at Marion, Ohio,
where the family resided before NOV
ing here. Later Mrs. Saunders took
up a years work at the North Dakota
University and since then has been sue
cessfully engaged in teaching in this
vicinity. She is pleasant, capable
young lady with sweet, winning dis
position and has hosts of friends here,
especially among the young set.
Mr.. Saunders home is at Edgerton,
Wis. He was graduated from an acad-
envy near his home. Early last spring
he came out here to manage big farm
near Grassy Butte for friend OF his
father, and as Miss Waddell spent the
summer assisting with work at the
First State Bank at Grassy Butte, it
was there that the romance first began.
During his short residence in the north
country he has acquired large circle
of friends in that community.
The young couple went back to the
farm soon after they were married,
Mr.. Saunders expecting to make final
arrangements for his leaving with his
bride for his home in Wisconsin,. They
expect to be there by Thanksgiving.
The newly WEEDS have the best wishes
of their myriad of friends for happy
and prosperous future. Dickinson, N.
D., Exchange.

The Thin People.

Overeating is a common cause OF
emaciation, paradoxical as this state
ment may seem. Many of our thin
nest neighbors are tle biggest eaters
of the community, Physical Culture
Magazine says. 1t is an old-fashioned
saying that these people "eat so much
that it makes them thin to carry it
around" In any case, it is not ques-
ton of the amount of food one swal-
lows, but a question of how much is
digested and assimilated. Many per-
sons will gain in weight upon discon-
tinuing the three-meal plan and adopt
ing the plan Of two meals per day. The
stomach is then no longer overbur-
dened or overworked, and the diges-
ton is so much more perfect and the
health so improved that gain in
weight results naturally.

EdgertOn Beaten by Marquette Acad-
emy

Edgerton's football team were up
against the hardest proposition of the
season Saturday when it met the husky
Marquette Academy team, much heav-
Ter man for man than our high school
boys. The Sentinel gives the follow
ing account of the game:
Being able to use the forward pass
to good advantage and having a line
that held like stone wall, the Mar
ouette academy football team avenged
the defeat of last year by romping off
with 36 to Is victory over the Edger-
ton high eleven on the State street
gridiron Saturday afternoon.
Regain, Haig, Bennett and Douglas
were the shining lights for the props.
Haig proved to be heady little play
err, when after seeing that place kick
would be impossible, stepped back and
dropped one over from the twenty-five
ward line. Douglas bore the brunt of
the defensive work. There was not a
play pulled off but what found Captain
Douglas at the bottom of the pile.
Shawl scored the first pointer for the
props, after the ball had been passed
over the line on a try for punt by Ed
gerton which put the ball on the five
yard line for Marquette. Shawl went
through center on the first play.
Regain after receiving forward pass
from O'Brien raced thirty yards for the
second touchdown. Douglas kicked a
goal. Bennett in the first part of the
second half received forward pass
from Haig and went over for the third
pointer. Douglas kicked again. By
plunging through the line the ball was
again carried to Edgerton's five yard
line and Bennett again went across for
another touchdown.
Fullback Kepp of the Edgerton eleven
received forward pass and raced sew
enty yards to Marquette's five yard
line. Curran went over on the next
play. After getting the ball on the
twenty-five yard line, Haig drop kicked
one between the posts.
The Edgerton boys then braced and
carried the ball on straight football to
Marquette's five yard line. Curran
went over on an end rum On the kick
off Regain received and raced sixty
yards down the field. 1t was the fast
little Curran who got him. With only
a few minutes to play, O'Brien passed
to Meyers who went over for the last
touchdown. The lineup:

AMERICAN manhood's snirit ia revea

AMERICAN manhood's spirit is reveal
ing itself. The secretary of war has
been studying the reports from the six
teen environments of the national army
at which IS per cent of the first incre-
ment Of that organization has arrived,
and he finds that their disclosures are
of sort to surprise lone who did not
know America" In reply to request
for an expression of preference as to
their assignment a majority of the
men, according to Secretary Baker,
advices, have answered in effect: 81
don't care what l do just so l get to
France among the first" ''The boys
at the front and those getting ready to
go there are right is Secretary Bak-
ar's assuring conclusion, and he be-
lieves that ''our nation need have moth
ing but mounting pride at the specta-
Gle they present.

u. S. S. Kansas,
Saturday Afternoon.

Dear Mother: Have now everything
| need for warmth and comfort. Have
more knit clothes than anyone know
on the ship. We haven't had any very
cold weather of late but probably will
later. When | get on all my tOgs
ought to feel warm at the North Pole.
Thank you very much for all your work
in making them. have no ditty box,
so the comfort bags are just the ticket.
Would rather not bother with ditty
box if can get along without. They
are always getting lost and kicking
about the ship. There were no empty
ones when I came aboard so failed to
get one.
Just finished reading the last bunch
of papers. There was much of inter
est in them. | never know of the Wis
consin football teams success until |
get the Journal from you.
We recently had thorough inspec-
ton of the ship and crew by an ad-
miral He pronounced our ship about
the cleanest in the fleet. 1t sure is
kept shining. Believe our crew must
be exceptionally healthy also for there
are few in sickbay and these are most
ly by accident. Have got along first
rate tending mess SO far and the time
surely does pass quickly. We mess
men are kept pretty busy. | think |
have the cleanest tables Of any mess
on the ship. You ought to see them.
They are scrubbed once week but
will stand inspection any time. Every
Saturday we have to set up one table
with dishes and silver and lay out ev-
erything for captains inspection. Ev-
erything must be absolutely clean and
gear shining. The inspection staff
carry flashlights and look into every
crack and corner. The navy is GER
tainly school for cleanliness.
We had smoker last night. Boxing
was the chief event. Cigarettes, sand
witches and Bevo were served. Our
whaleboat won the race this morning;
also last Saturday. This gives us the
championship of the fleet for whale
boat racing. We have piano on our
deck now. 1t is kept busy most Of the
time. Some of the fellows are mighty
good players. With love,
LAMONT GIRARD.

With the Edgerton Boys in UEcle
Sans Service.

News pleasing to a host of Edgerton
friends comes from Waco, Texas, that
Serg. Leon Ellingson has received his
commission as I'd Lieut.. of Co. M and
has moved up in the officers row in
Camp Macarthur.
THANKSGIVING TURKEY FOR THE BOYS
IN TEXAS.
Camp Macarthur, Waco, Texas,
Friday, Nov. %, 1917.
Already boxes from the home folks
sent to augment the Thanksgiving din
ner of soldiers in training here are be-
ginning to arrive and are providing
considerable work for the mail men,
With the boxes and the preparations
being made by the various commissary
departments, Thanksgiving day here
promises to be one long feast.
Every soldier in camp is assured of
turkey. 1t has been announced that
the commissary has purchased and will
issue one pound of turkey for every
man in camp, but hundreds of wise
mess sergeants and company officers
who know the appetites of their men
are not counting too strongly on this
alone. MANY are making duulLiOudl
purchases from the company funds and
long ago orders for cranberries, celery
and the other materials for 'fxings"
were placed with Waco merchants.
Here is the tentative menu of one
company which is indicative of how
men of most companies will eat:
Celery Olives
Turkey Cranberry Sauce
Sweet and Mashed Potatoes
French Peas
Stewed Corn Tomatoes
Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
Coffee Cheese
Nearly every company has fair
pastry cook and few mess sergeants
have ordered pies from bakeries. The
pies, for the most part, will be baked
in the company kitchens the day before
Thanksgiving. Cooking of turkeys also
will require considerable time, and in
some instances contracts have been
made with downtown bakers to roast
them in bread ovens. From there they
will be taken to camp and heated be-
fore being served. !

THIS nations trade with the coun-
tries of South America is at least three
times as extensive as it was in the
year Immediately preceding the out
break of the great world war. In the
eight months ended with August (the
latest month for which figures are
available) exports to the sister repub-
lies of the south aggregated $l08, 0OO,-
900. compared with only $65, 900, 600 in
the corresponding period of 1914. I'M
ports from South America totalled
$433, 900, 600, compared with $157, 000,-
600 in 1914. Thus, it will be seen, this
country's total trade with the southern
continent in the first eight months of
this year represented value of $780,
000,0 900 against 1922, 600, 600 in the same
time in 1914. To Argentina, Peru and
Chile, exports from the United States
more than trebled, while those to
Uruguay quadrupled. The exports to
Venezeula, Colombia, Brazil and Ecua-
dor were practically three times as
great as those in 1914 Argentina con-
tracted for $62, 256, 600 worth of United
States products, compared with only
S19, 649, 900 in the first eight months of
1914. Exports TO Brazil were $40, 49,
900 as against SIS, 1913, 600; to Chile,
S32, 971 900 against $40, 300, 600. A
better argument in favor of building
mercantile marine and a strong navy
to protect it would be hard to find.
These figures should bring home to the
American producer the realization that
his interests lie in supporting the gov
eminent with money to finance the war
and to prepare for world trade after
the great conflict ceases, Every dollar
now loaned to the government will be
increased many times when the piping
times of peace return.
