ST. PATRiCk'S DAY A GREEN
LETTER DAY IN SANBORN

Sanborn Enterprises: Great crowds
gathered at the Sacred Heart church
last Saturday morning to do honor to
lreland's patron saint, a large number
being present from jamestown and
neighboring towns.
Father Baker, of Valley City, had
planned to come over to the celebra-
ton with his congregation of some
hundred families, but had to forego
this pleasure, as there was no train
service west that morning. Father
Baker was to deliver the eulogy on
st. Patrick in English; in his absence
Rev. Joseph O'Beirne, Father Klei-
don's assistant, preached the English
sermon. 1t was an eloquent tribute
to Ireland and its wonderful saint.
Father Kleidon spoke in the Irish
Gaelic. He spoke of the heart of Ire
land with longings, it's powers and it's
mysteries. The congregation listened
to him with GREATNESS attention.
The Sanborn Catholic choir sang an
Irish Ave Maria during the mass,
written by Father Kleidon 10 the tune
of Bach Gounod's famous Ave Maria.
1t was exceptionally we'll rendered.
After the mass the rosary was re-
cited in Irish by T. NJ. Murphy, of San
born, and Michael Connolly, of Eckel-
son..
Mrs. Mary Elder had charge of the
church decorations for the occasion.
Cut flowers and rare potted plants, Kill.
larney roses, green carnations, flags
and harps were in evidence.
In the evening Father Bakers choir
came over fran Valley City in sleighs
and staged st. Patrick's play in the
city hall. The talent was of high
order and the entertainment the very
| best of the season. It carried the in
| terest of the audience throughout and
hearty applause greeted the players.
The city hall was crowded to it's full
capacity. 1t was certainly great So
cial event. Sanborn will be glad to
welcome the members of st. Cathe-
rine's choir soon again.

War Preparations Are
Pushed With All Speed

believed that once the war resolution
is adopted further legislation to EN-
power the executive branch to go full
speed ahead will follow. There is
every indication that the nation,
through its representatives, will fol-
low out President Wilson words to
congress and exert all its power and
employ all it's resources to bring the
government Of the German empire to
terms and end the war;
The council of national defense,
composed of Secretaries Baker, Lane,
Daniels, Wilson, Houston and Red
field, following a conference with its
advisory commission, decided to name
soon commercial economy board to
organize the commercial interests OF
the nation for effective distribution of
all necessary commodities among the
people generally. Its aim will be to
deal ahead OF time with problems of
wartime distribution.
The council decided to confer every
day this week with the possible ex-
ception of tomorrow. Its activities,
which have to be approved by the
: president, and in some cases by con-
gress, have begun to reach into every
problem aimed to make the United
States most efficient in it's conduct of
war.
Tentative ways in which the great
sums Of money may be raised are in
! course Of preparation, and were gone
over thoroughly at the cabinet meet
ing. The revenue making power, how
ever, lies entirely with congress, and
the executive can only advise.
| In line with the presidents sug-
gestion to congress that the present
generation bear as much of the fl.
nancial burden as possible, the ways
of providing money under consider
alton today included increasing the
excess profits tax, lowering the mini
mum for exemptions and increasing
| the super-tax under the income tax
law, increasing internal revenue taxes
on some articles, and placing stamp
taxes on some articles not now in
cluded. The general idea is to place
| taxation most heavily on those most
able to pay.
1t is realized however, that some of
the necessary funds will nave to be
! raised by bond issues in the form of
popular subscription loans. 1t was
estimated by one cabinet member that
$10,000,000,000 in small interest loans
can be raised quickly in the United
States.
Opposition has developed to the
guaranteeing of foreign bond issues,
but it appeared probable that the
United States, having raised money in
this country, would pu1 chase the
bonds of one or more of the entente
allies at low rates of interest and in
that way furnish them with ample
capital with which to, further their
own war plans.

message reached Berlin at 10 o'clock

President Wilson's views. Germany
will not declare war nor take any step
to wage war against the United States
The submarine war will be continued

It is also declared that there will be
no change in the treatment of Amer1-
can citizens in Germany who now
have the same freedom as other neu-
trails. But Germany expects that the
United States will continue the same
treatment of Germans in that country.

FIXING VALUE or SKIM milk


Dean w. A. Henry. who for many
years was In charge Of the feeding e.
periments at the wisconsiA station
concluded after q great many expsri'
ments that when corn IL worth 90 cent?
per bushel the value Of skim milk IA
81 cents per hundred pounds. and
when corn is worth "a cents per bush.
al. skim milk Ii worth ~ cents per
hundred.
Gov. w. u. Hoard. for many years Z
leading dairyman In Wisconsin, sug.
gested the following rule for finding
the nanoey value Of skim milk: "Mui.
tipiy the market value OF live hogs In
cents per pound by ave when skim
milk II fed alone. but when fed with
corn or barley. multiply the price by
six" This gives the money value u
skim milk per hundred pounds.
The Gurler rule IL that sk!m milk II
worth As.f as much per hundred
pounds as corn Ii worth per bushel
Dollar corn would therefore mean 50
cents as the price for skim milk.

"It h to b hoped that the increased

tity. The les people smoke the more
they arc liable to eat, II In well known
that the grosssst eaters arc non-drink-

This advice refers to women o.

the war started. Formerly women
smoked only In their homes Or In res
