MILITARY PUNISHMENTS.
Times When Rsbellieus Soldiers eam-
blad Far THAR Lives.

hl@a Far Ts@ir Llvas.
In times past the military code in
England was no less stern and m
compromising than the civil. Sem
tence of death was readily decreed
and as promptly executed. Where
offenses multiplied and wholesale
executions would have weakened the
army numerically decimation-the
slaughter of every tenth man-Was
the rule or the troops gambled for
their lives BY casting dice upon a
drumhead or drawing lots under the
gallows tree.
Lesser penalties-not capital, but
physical, and causing pain with per-
manent degradation - were MAIN
ing, branding the cheek or forehead,
boring the tongue or cutting the
nose and ears. These last named
we're retained upon the military
statute book until the reign Of
Queen Anne.
The @strappado" was a iendish
device by which a delinquent was
hoisted on high BY a rope fastened
to his arms and then dropped down
by a sudden Jerk that often dislo-
Gated his shoulders.
Hanging by the thumbs, some
times called .'picketing, was also
practieed, while the body was rais-
ed to such a height that its whole
weight rested on one toe and that
again on a sharp pointed spike.
To ride the wooden horse was
to be mounted on a razor edge, with |
weights fastened to the extremities.
Running the gantlet, or -.gante-
lope," was as old as the Cromwell

The completion Of the first rail-
way which made it possible to 60 by
rail from the Atlantic to the Pa
ciic was celebrated May 10, 1869,
when a gold spike was driven in
commemoration Of the joining Of
the Central Pacific and Union Pa
cife at PromontOry, Utah. The
scene was commemorated BY Bret
Harte in a poem and preserved for
the admiration Of the future BY a
massive painting which was repro
duced IN an engraving which had
wide popularity. The similar last
spike Of the Northern Pacific was
driven Sept. 8, 1883, near the mouth
Of Gold creek, in Montana. On the
earlier road the first through car
from the Pacific reached New York,
July "a, 1870.

DEFENSE WORK is GROWING
Dunn County Workers Are Conducting
Tour and Organizing Councils
In Every Township.

Madison-The Dunn county council
of defense has sprung an innovation
in the method of extending it's work
throughout the county.
Since the Dunn County board has ap-
propriated $1,000 for local defense
work a small party of very active
workers has been touring the whole
county in an automobile conducting
defense meetings in every town and
village.
During the past week two additional
features have been made part of the
travelling demonstrations. A woman
representative has been accompany
ing the party to speak on the distribu-
ton and support of the Hoover food
pledge cards, and in instructive talk
on the prevention of hog cholera has
been given by the emergency food
agent.
Whenever locality is visited where
there is no local defense organization
a council is Immediately organized.
AS a result every township in the
county will soon have a local defense
body at work in cooperation with the
Dunn county council of defense.

WOMEN TOLD TO CAN
PRESERVING OF FRUITS AND
VEGETABLES is VITAL TO WIN
WAR, SAYS PRESIDENT.

agricultural Department Committees
Are Ready to Aid in Workshops
Large, But Need to Save
Is Great

Washington, July 31-President
Wilson, in a letter to Secretary OF
Agriculture d. r. Houston, appeals to
the women of the nation to take imme-
ldiate steps to avoid a threatened loss
of a vast amount Of perishable fruits
and vegetables. The president says:
Every bushel of potatoes properly
stored, every pound of vegetables put
by for future use, every jar OF fruit
preserved, add that much to our In
.surance of yictory-add that much TO
hasten the end of the conflict.
ave must aim to consume these
things locally so far as possible and
thus relieve the pressure in transpor-
'tation agencies, freeing them for the
more efficient handling Of products re-
quired for military purposes. what
we cannot presently consume we must
conserve"
Herbert g. Hoover, Americas food
controller, in a statement issued on
Saturday, calculated to dispel war
gloom, declared the people OF the
United States through food economy
and stimulation of production have "ac-
complished the most astonishing thing
that ever happened in the history OF
amy people"

BEGINS IRON RULE
kERENSKY RESTORES DEATH
PENALTY IN RUSSIAN ARMY.
Loyal ArtiIlerymen Train Cannon on
Whole Division of the Eleventh
Army.

London, July %. - Kerensky and
Korniloff, Russia's men of the hour,
met anarchy and disloyalty with blood
and iron.
Dispatches from Petrograd leave no
room for doubt that Kerensky's dicta-
torship is to be real dictatorship !;
that he/will sanction and approve ex-
IRENE measures when necessary to re-
store a semblance of order out Of
chaos which for time seemed to
threaten the complete disintegration
of the Russian armies and, indeed, the
Russian state.
Four outstanding things were In dis
patches from Petrograd, things which
held out promise, in the opinion Of OBJ
servers here, that Kerensky, with the
aid of his military commanders, Of
whom Korniloff stands out, might yet
''pull Russia through" These things
were:
1. Kerensky has acquired complete
ascendency over the workmen's and
soldiers committee, so that it now
makes no attempt to issue DEGREES.
His command of the provisional gov
eminent is supreme. The ministers he
has gathered around him have agreed
completely so far with all his propos-
ais and are supporting them to the ut
most.
2. His first act has been to restore
the death penalty for treason. This
action, taken with the consent of his
ministers, is designed to wipe out dis
affection in the army which has made
its commanders powerless and which
has enabled the Germans to make their
gains in Galicia after the Russian army
had apparently regained its power as
a war machine.
3. A censorship of dubious newspa-
pers has been established. The papers
affected were guilty of disseminating
appeals to disloyalty among the troops.
The new order provides for the sus-
pension of such papers.
4. AS a result, the Russian army is
again showing evidences of resistance.
The Germans continue to strike in Ga
licia, but in the Carpathians and Rou-
mania the Russian Roumanian forces
have opened a counter-offensive ap-
parently designed to tighten the pres
sure on Korniloffs hard-pressed le-
gions, and has met with considerable
initial successes.
