TOO we'll pleased with the notoriety
given that little city in Sundays
News Tribune. While it is true
that great many red-faggers are
found there it must also be admit
ted that the majority at Winton
are Americans. The arrangements
of the principal industry, lumber
ing, at Winton are of the pure
American stock and should not be
classcd with the Haywood diciples
from Finland. The undesirables
are being weeded out as fast as the
government with the assistance of
the non-Anarchists in Winton can
accomplish this and the News
Tribune was wrong in branding
everyone with the same brand.

to charge covered by the code it
is the duty of the judge to fine or
imprison him in conformity with
the penalties provided and not as
his personal feelings would dictate.
The Judge is supposed to be repre-
sentative of all the people and of
no particular class or creed. The
party agfieved had recourse to
higher courts. Judge Schaeffer
knew he was wrong or he would
not have rushed in the newspapers
to defend his action. In his vindi-
cation article in the Open Court of
the Herald the judge again lief
loose a little of that personal
spleen he harbors against certain
of our citizens. He does this
regularly and it is about time
he got that out of his system.
Real Americans cannot afford to
bubble among themselves in these
times. We have enough of the
red-fag, anti-government bunch to
contend with and every American
should assist in the fight against
the nations enemies.

The Miner has received very
cordial invitation from R. L. Giffin
secretary of the St. Louis County
Agricultural Society to attend the
County Fair at Hibbing on Aug.
81. Sept. l and 2. Many from
Elv annually attend the Fair at
Hibbing but there is always room
for more, The fair is strictly a st.
Louis County institution and is
conducted for the benefit of the
county and its people, resources
and industries. Duluth tried for
years to conduct fair but made a
failure of it. Hlbbing, in the
characteristic manner of range
communities, took up the matter
and has since conducted successful
exhibitions and today the St. Louis
County Fair at Hibbing is consi-
dered one of the best in the state.
We hope that all our people will
attend. The pleasures to be de-
rived from the exhibits and amuse-
ments will amply repay you.

ing the taking of all our good
American boys for the war and

ing boards, and especially of the
mining districts of Minnesota,
Michigan and Wisconsin, make
the statement that IS per cent of
the men exempted are aliens who
have been in our country all the
way from E to 16 years. This is
dead wrong and should be remedied
ae once. If these men are not to
become citizens and it is very plain
that their intentions are not to be
citizens, they should be loaded, on
a boat and shipped back to serve
their native lands in the allied war
our boys are now called upon to
fight, or should be subject to mil
itary duty in this country. These
fellows came here because condi-

country they left. They enjoy all

responsibilities. Congress should
see that this is remedied. It is

HOUSEWIVES SIGNING FOOD
PLEDGE.
Report About Government Agents
Sent Out to Seize Canned Goods
Is False.

With fifty volunteer workers in
the office at Burlington, Federal Food
Administrator ]. F. Deems has COM
menced to distribute throughout the
State the membership cards of the
National Food Pledge campaign. AS
rapidly as housewives sign food
pledge cards these are returned to
the Food Administrator office at
Burlington and-a kitchen card, giving
instructions as to the why and where
fore of Food Conservation, and a
membership card, are mailed out.
Membership cards are handsome
ly engraved in five colors, and are to
be hung in the front window of each
home, to show that the housewife is
la member of the Food Conservation
army. &
No obligation is imposed upon the
signers of the food pledge other than
they will conserve food to the best Of
their ability.
From time to time the Food Adj
ministration will mail literature on
food conservation and suggestions
and helps for the housewife which
will aid her in assisting the Govern
ment.
AS rapidly as realization of the
fact that the food pledge is simply an
expression of cooperation with the
Government in it's food conservation
becomes manifest the "Get a Mem
Der" Campaign will grow stronger.
Each housewife who is already a
member Of the Food Conservation
army is asked to explain the food
pledge to her neighbor and secure
her signature If possible. These are to
be mailed to the Office of the Food
Administrator at Burlington and
membership cards will be issued from
there.
Some confusion has been created
through the illegible addresses on
the cards on the part of some sign
ers, and for that reason large num-
ber of signers will not get their
membership cards. In cases where
they fair to receive them. however,
their names may be again certified to
