worries by calling them by their true
name, sacrifices you are bearing for the
sake of your country, in order that you
may be able to do more for those who
have infinitely less than you. Don't be
afraid to say that it is patriotism which
keeps you cheerful when you have to
cut down here and pare off there and do
without something else. Tell your
children that these minor privations,
like the bigger ones borne by our broth
ers and sisters across the sea, are en-
dured for freedom just as much as the
trials Of the pioneers from whom we are
proud to trace our descent.
Hold your head high; remember that
a hero is only one who does more than
his duty and go about your daily round
of work with the bearing and the heart
Of one who is Qualifying to have Cross
of War pinned to her kitchen apron!

the Socialist claim that Big Biz de-

The Gackle Republican urges fair

Just because there are a few men of

TURTLE LAKE FARMER KILLED
Ernest JacOpp Thrown From Auto on
RusO-Velva Road and Died at 3
O'clock This Morning

Ernest Jacopp, aged 40 years, a Tur-
tie Lake farmer, was killed in an auto
accident on the Velva-Ruso road last
night, about six miles north of Russo.
Jacopp and W. w. Gordon were being
taken to Velva to catch No. 1O7, the
men intending to go to Canada to work
in the harvest fields. They were driv-
en- by Victor Lundquist, son of Tur-
tie Lake hardware merchant, and the
roads being good, was making fast
time in order to catch the train. Going
down a hill the car failed to strike the
bridge right and struck the railing in
stead. Jaeopp jumped and landed Is
feet across the bridge, receiving in
juries from which he died at 8 o'clock
this morning. The injured man was
taken to a school house and doctor
called. The remains were taken to Tur-
tie Lake for burial. The car landed
in a creek but the other members OF
the party were not injured. Jacopp

ment in the future intends to observe
and respect the rights of non-combat-
ants and of neutral nations on the high
seas. Nor have they given any assur-
ance to the world that in the future the
policy of their government will be such
as to insure no recurrence of the out
rage perpetrated upon the innocent
people of Belgium at the outbreak of
the war in 1914. Until it is clear that
at the termination of the war the lives
and liberties of free people in this and
other democratic nations shall be safe
from future outrages and aggrandize-
ments of any military autocracy in
Central Europe, there will be no peace.
The Conference Reports on both the
Food Control bill and the Food Survey
bill have been agreed upon and passed
by the house, and when acted upon by
the senate will go to the president for
his approval. The Food Control bill,
as it will be enacted into law, gives the
president the power to encourage the
production, conserve the supply, and
control the distribution of foods, feeds,
fuel, including fuel oil and natural gas,
and fertilizer and fertilizer ingredi-
ents, tools, utensils, implements, ma
chinery, and equipments required for
the actual production of foods, feeds
and fuels. After thirty days from the
approval of the Food Control bill by
the president, no foods, fruits, food
materials or feeds are allowed to be
used in the production Of distilled spir-
it's for beverage purposes. The presi-
dent is given full authority to regulate
or to entirely prohibit, as he may find
necessary for the national security and
defence, the use of food, fruits, food
materials or feeds in the production Of
malt or vinuous liquors for beverage
purposes. By the insertion of the pro-
visions in the bill for the control and
manufacture of alcoholic liquors for
beverage purposes, the prohibition
forces in the house and senate won a
most sweeping victory. It is generally
understood that the administration Of

dition to reductions of over 10000 900
passenger miles already reported in
eastern territory.
The states included in the Central
department are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minneso-
ia, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota,
Ohio, South Dakota, West Virginia,
Wisconsin and Colorado. This reduc
ton in passenger train service is a
part of the program of the War Board
in the conservation of coal and men
for the more important freight hand
ling purpose.
The exact reductions already made
in Central territory are at the rate of
6,S88,4O2 passenger miles a year and
will effect saving of approximately
100000 tons of coal year, which, by
other purposes. The further reduc-
lions to be made will bring the amount
of saving up to $4,000 tons of coal.
