AS A NATION We
ARE DOING THINGS

It's impossible to outline our act
iveties because more history is be-
ing made in day now, than has
been for the past three, nothing
that occurs surprises anyone, and
we are doing the necessary thing
and burning our bridges.
Reconstruction is on; England
and France has passed through it
Germany did it thirty years ago.
All branches are being connected
up and is becoming one vast hive
and every member is to be kept
busy a common cause.
1t is not certain whether our
boys will be sent to France, the
chances are they will be. and as
soon as shipping cam be spared, a
force will be sent there that will
carry the FLAG THAT HAS NEVER
SEEN DEFEAT. Now let us do
our duty and speak SOFTLY TO
those BLEEDING SOULS AT WAR.

BILL
BECOME A Law

It's setteled at last and now we
are up against the real article.
The senate bill for conscription
was for all who could pass the
examination between the ages of
21 and 27;' while the house bills
limits were from 21 to 40. The
senate bill passed 81 to s, The
house bill by 397 to "a. This differ
ence has been adjusted by confer
ence of both bodies and settled ON
the ages. 81 to 80. So now ii
you are 81 or 80 Or anywhere be-
tween the two, and can pass,
you must register your name
when it's called for and be subject
to draft for military duty either
in the army or navy. It's the law
now, and does not have the tinge
of cowardice as formerly attributed
to the draft man but is clean
and patriotic duty of every man
between the age limits mentioned.
To shirk or evade this duty one
is subject to imprisonment from
three months to year. If you
are accepted your pay will be
$4,000 per month.
The law covers the rich and
poor alike and does away with
volunteering.
It's a good law and let us all
take our chance but DO YOUR
MITE.

TURN GOLF LINKS

Don't keep bowling about what
farmers should do. Golfers are just
the people to get at as potato rails

noon and hoe them until sundown,
that will give them exercise. A nice

FLOUR AT S 20. A BBL.
HOW is THAT FOR HIGH

Herbert G. Hoover who recently
came from Europe to advise our
government ON food conditions says
there is no need for panic if the
government is allowed to direct
provisions. We have a surplus now
he says. The United States and
Canada have between fifty and
seventy million bushels of wheat
more than ordinarily used. Without
governmental control of the situa-
tion we may see flour at $4,000 a
barrel, but with control the present
price of flour may be reduced 40
to so per cent and at the same
time the producer be treated in a
liberal manner.
The American farmer did not real
ize $1.30 per bushel for his 191 6
wheat yet the price of wheat in New
York last Friday was 1925 perbush-
ell and flour was selling at the
same time in Minneapolis at $500
per barrel.
Our government should act at
once.
