The Northwest Is Prosperous--Keep It So
(From the Minneapolis Journan

From the Minneapolis JournaD
For years the Northwest has steadily been adding to it's
prestige, to it's importance in the economic affairs of the nation
and to it's advancement in prosperity.
With the call of the nation to arms, the great Northwest finds
itself ~splendidly prosperous.
LET US KEEP 1T so!
Let us all get together in vision, in thorehtt. in plan and in
action to realize the tremendous prosperity in store for the North.
west, so that we shall be even the better fortified to help ourselves,
to do "our bit" for our country and the success of democracy the
world over.
Let's put our foot on false economy. "Goine shabby" by
those of us who habitualy dress well and can afford it, is not going
to help make more guns and ammunition. If everybody who
dresses well begins to wear old clothes he is helping to throw
thousands out of work, he is helping to bring suffering upon
manufacturers and merchants, upon factory hands and store en-
ployest throughout the country.
Don't be over-enthusiastic for Economy.
Don't put a stick in the fly-wheel of legitimate. sure prosper
ity by injudic0us economy.
Let's have economy. But let's have it with sanity, with cool
judgment, with a vision that shows US clearly what the effect of
this economy will be.
Let's not waste products which are scarce and replaced with
difficulty.
Let's conserve our food supply and grow more foodstuffs than
ever before.
Let's pronounce that man a traitor who boards supplies.
high cost Of living.
The Northwest is in an enviabe position this very moment.
The great need of the world is FOOD, FOOD, FOOD!
What shall the Northwest put in the outstretched hand?
Get busy and help fill the worlds dinner pail!
Weather has been cold. Spring is still backward; but the
soil is in good condition.
So let's all live, act naturally, work and spend our money;
spend it not extravagantly, but wisely.
Industrial happiness and success depend upon the free circu.
lation of money, not the boarding of it.
Let the carpenter keep on saving and pounding.
Let the hodcarrier keep busy with his mortar.
Let the miller keep grinding.
Let everyone do his utmost to keep his business on an even
keel.
1t is not the time to put on sackcloth and ashes.
1t is time to throw our chests out, our heads up, and work
vaiantly with our faces to the front, in a grand cause.
BUSINESS is ALL RIGHT.
BUSINESS WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
WORKING PEOPLE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY.
COUPON-CLIPPERS WILL HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY.
The greater part of the billions of dollars to be loaned to the
Allies will be spent right here in the United States.
There will be plenty for the Northwest to live comfortably
and sanely, and pay war taxes as we'll.
1t is, and will continue to be, the GREAT, PROSPEROUS and
HELPFUL Northwest

A Very Gracious and Very
Generous Gift.

Several weeks ago at a regular
conference Of the members of the
Baptist church, at which the finances
of the church were being discussed,
particularly the amount that the
church yet owes on the new build
ing, Ex-Gov. J. c. Sheppard sta!
ted, with becoming modesty, that
this community and its people have
been very good to him since he
came to reside here. Besides con-
tributing to his success profession
ally, they have conferred upon him
every honor that he has asked at
their hands, ard as tangible ex.
preston of appreciation he desired
to make some donation to the COM
munity. Mr.. Sheppard stated that
in writing his will eight or ten years
ago he set apart the sum of $1,000
to be permanently invested, with a
provision that the interest be used
annually to relieve any suffering in
the community or to minister to the
needs of the poor. He stated at the
conference that in thinking over
the matter he had decided to antici.
pate the terms or provision of his
will and let the donation become
available at once for this purpose,
stating too that he would draw an
instrument Of writing placing in
the hands of the board of deacons
this sum to be held in trust and in
vested by them as had been outlined.
At a conference of the church
which was held Sunday Mr.. Shep
pard formally presented, through
the instrument Uf writing which he
read, the 81, 900 to the church to
be held in trust by the beard of
deacons and the annual interest &C
cruing from the invested funds to
be used in relieving the poor and
needy of the community under the
direction of the church. Should
any part of the annual interest be
not needed in the yearin which 1T
is received it is TO be added to and
become part of the original dona-
ton.
The church accepted the very,
generous donation by rising vote
and instructed the board of deacons
TO receive the money and execute the
terms of the trust, also directing
that suitable expression of apnre-
probation be committed to writing
and presented to Mr.. Sheppard and
also be recorded in The minutes of
the church.

Wealth of South Increased
Enormously.

Washington, D. c., January 81.
Farmers of the South are better
off by half a billion dollars than
they were this time last year, salo
President Fairfax Harrison of tn"
Southern Railway System, referring
TO the figures of aggreg hte crop
values published by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
These figures show" said MIR.
Harrison. that in the States of
Virginia, South Carolina, Florida,
kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi, the total value of all
crops grown in 1916 was $780,
O6o, 900, as compared with 1871.
$4,000 in 1915, an increase OF
S5O4,70 5000 or 1904 per cent.
These figures are arrived at by tax
ing the reported, values of la prin'
cipal crops as to which the Agrl.
cultural Department collects annual
statistics and adding values for all
other crops based on the percent,
ages of the l3 crops to all crops as
shown by the Census of 1910.
while the increased total value
shown is, in large part, due to high
er prices for farm products, it is
truly remarkable when taken in con-
nection with the unfavorable wealth
er conditions which prevailed in.a
large part of the territory. In some
localities, as a result of adverse
weather conditions and the damage
done by the Mexican cotton boil
weevil, crop yields were substan-
TALLY reduced, but, taking the
South as whole, its farmers were
never more prosperous than at this
time"

Prohibition Sentiment.
Seneca, S. G,

''Ho wever it may be disposed of,
prohibition in the broader sense Is
coming to the front. The senate
committee on judiciary has had be-
fore it many suggestions for a form
of resolution to amend the Constitu,
tion of the United States so as to
provide nationwide prohibition
They decided finally to adopt one
such form and report it to the sen
ate. The fact that the COMMITTEES
came to this decision by a vote Of

Iicates the flow of sentiment. -

Mr.. Orlando Sheppard and Mr..

Tuesday to attend the prohibition

that a large majority Of the people

men who are addicted to drinking
would like to see the temptation en-
tirely removed from them. The
sentiment in favor Of absolute pro-

secure peace, it would be necessary

His great heart is in full sympathy

the United States out of war since
the great struggle has been going
