GROW FAT ON WAR BREAD
Men, Women and Children Seen on
Streets Seem to Be Better Nour-
ished Than Ever.

London.-The English appear to be
growing fat on war bread. An English
newspaper publishes the following:
although l hate it," writes cor
respondent in Surrey, "war bread
seems to fatten me, and my weight has
increased by several pounds. Yet am
eating not much more than half the
bread / used to eat before the war, and
also Tess of other foods.
A doctor explained that this may be
quite true. anyone who keeps his
eyes open in the streets will notice
that men, women and children are
clearly better nourished than ever. No
doubt" he said. "there is a good deal
of indigestion from bad bread, but
even people who digest it badly, and
dislike it, too, grow fatter and phys
ically stronger. This is especially no.
ticeable in spare men of middle age.
Possibly the explanation is that we
were eating more bread before than we
could digest. Perhaps, too, the mix
ture of grains in bread is proving more
nourishing than the pure wheaton loaf !;
the stomach likes variety, and the
people who do the best intellectual
work are those who feed on all avail
able foodstuffs.

TEN RULES FOR DISLOYALISTS
German Efficiency" Applied to Pro-
motion of Traitorous Propaganda
at Least Personal Risk.

Pro-kaiser and anti-war propagan-
dists reveal their lack OF German effi-
cheney" in the frequency with which
they get themselves pummeled or
''pinched."
the Independent has condensed the
methods of the most successful practi-
TONERS of disloyalty into ten rules
for carrying on traitorous propaganda
at least personal risk.
Most of all of these rules so accur-
ately describe the arguments which
nearly everybody has heard from one
or more of the traitorous-minded that
they are worth frequent perusal. The
rules are:
I. Assert on every occasion that
"WaI street" made the war. Never
mind explaining when, how or why.
2. Get in all the sneers you can at
any profession of ideal motives. If
you can find any flaw in our democ-
racy say that 1--WE are just as bad an
autocracy as Germany" Place the
war in as sordid light as possible.
8. 1t is dangerous to denounce the
United States directly. But rake his
tory from end to end for mud to throw
at the allies. Especially, twist the
lions tail. sss..sEssss1xgz.:s-
4. Profess great concern lest send
ing food to Europe will starve Amer
lea. Support every embargo movement
that applies to the allied nations and
none that does not.
5. If the president asks for any ex-
tension of power rave about dictator
ship" and the overthrow of the Iiber-
ties for which our fathers, ETC."
6. Spread rumors that the allies are
going to betray us or take advantage
of us as soon as we are deeply enough
involved in the war.
7. Accept CONSUMPTION in principle
but hamper its working in every pos
sble way. One good way is to start
scares about revolutions and internal
disorder as a pretext for keeping a
large part of the army at home.
8. Demonstrate that the enemy Is
unconquerabe and victory hopeless.
Play the "candid friend" and act as a
depressant. e. S.
.. DC very jealous 10 prevent Ell
tangling alliances" and be much con-
cerned about the Monroe doctrine if
we mix ourselves in European quar-
.rels." A permanent league of nations
would embarrass your junker friends
if they remain in power after the war.
Germany can only hope to conquer
other nations if they act selflshIy and
in isolation.
10. WHEN DRIVEN TO MAKE AN
UNEQUIVOCAL STATEMENT PRO-
CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
Cut this out and hand it to the next
pacifist Or luke-warm friend who tries
to start an argument.

Joyrlding IN. Neav Ulm

This is indeed a new generation, a
generation gone automobile mad and the
young people are following the example
set them by older persons and are snatch
ing at opportunities for the sport of
motoring with little regard for the rights
of others. Four young people (and who
knows how many more) have been
stealthily taking car which did not be-
long to them and appropriating it to their
own use, burning up gas and oil which
had been paid for by others and all
without a word of "please' or 'thank
.you," considering it good joke to think
how much fun they were having at nc
cost to themselves. In old days this
would have been called stealing"
Now it is merely ''joy-riding," COM
mentary on the way morals have been
Jared loose by shaking them up in auto
mobiles.

Cast the First Stone

The Fairmont Sentinel has had good
deal to say about the New Ulm saloon
keepers disobeying the law, week after
week casting insinuations, which are not
true. The following from the Sentinel,
would indicate that all are not saints in
the "dry'' village of Fairmont:
Zone of the best posted men in this
town remarks: There are two blind
piggers in this town, both between
Webster street and the Milwaukee and
Northwestern railway tracks. They
have their customers and are devilish
sly, but a good detective would land
them in forty eight hours
Other items from the same issue of the
Sentinel indicate that "blind pigs are
quite common in ''dry" Fairmont.
There was also lot said by; the state
papers about how New Ulm young men
were going to ''funk" when it came to
the draft registration. But registration
day came and went, but not single
evasion of the order has been reported
and if there were any in the entire city
they have not been found out.
These continual slurs and reflections
cast against New Ulm-all unjust at
that-become decidedly tiresome.

Shortage IN National Guard

A shortage has been discovered in the
property Of the Minnesota National
Guard. Governor Burnquist reports
shat this shortage will run up to some
where from $4,000 to $4,000 and
indicates that it is due to the carelessness
of Adjutant General Fred B. Wood.
None will believe that there has been
any dishonesty in the conduct of the
:adjutant generals Office. But the Ma
tional Guard has long been looked on as
run for political purposes and its property
rs sort of plaything for the state soldiers
and it is likely that most of the missing
equipment has been loaned out where it
would help the politicians to make few
Friends here and there.
Might as we'll charge the loss to
politics, and let it go at that.

Must Use the Land

The land owners Of the Island of Guam
enust put all waste land to use. Capt
Roy c.. Smith, governor of the island
which is possession of the United
Estates, exercises all the functions of an
absolute monarch, and has taken the
vacant land question in hand in a
manner that will undoubtedly bring
results. He has ordered every owner
and lessee of land to raise crops thereon
ITO an amount stated in the order.
He has further borne in mind the fact
that some citizens are landless and has
provided that they may solicit from the
government for their own use such land
as they may be able to cultivate, but
they may secure only such amount as
they are in position to proftably use.
AS an absolute monarch Captain
Smith seems to effect reforms in about
she right direction.
However he should not feel disappoint-
ed if. the results fall bit short of his
expectations.

Why Not PlGy Fair?

We wouldn't like to be the engineer on
the C. N. w. line thru here nor anywhere
else if people the world over are like
Shose in New Ulm in tempting fate.
Last week one afternoon we saw three
people deliberately drive upon the C.
N. W. crossing with the fve-thirty
passenger close at hand. The first
vehicle was an automobile containing
two people and we held our breath ex-
pecting to see the car smashed to bits.
We looked away, SO dreadful was the
prospect and just dared to look back
again in time to see the auto safely
across and behind it a team of horses
sgalloping madly upon the track. The
engine just missed the hind wheels of the
wagon and the train rushed on to the
next crossing where to our amazement
@and disgust another man repeated the
performance. If those reckless drivers
had been killed the C. N. w. would
certainly have been entirely guiltless
and yet it is more than likely they would
have had to pay. Isn't it rather unfair
to the railroads to risk so much for a
minute of time? y.

CORN CROP is IN NEED
OF MORE WARM WEATHER

There has been plenty of rain for the
present in this part of the state
to take care Of the crops, and
most of them are reported in excellent
condition. The weather, is too cool
for the corn crop and it is far below it's
normal size for this time OF, the year.
Warmer weather and a lot Of it is needed
if it is to catch up and round out into
anywhere near a respectable showing
when harvest time comes.
An automobile trip to Minneapolis
June 9 via St. Peter and the Minnesota
river route, and then a week later dis
closed that the corn planted along the
way, had shown but little, if any, growth
during the week.
Grain, potatoes and other crops were
looking fine and had made considerable
headway during the week.

Putting Big Raver to Work

Necessities of war are likely to
bring the Mississippi river into use
for commerce on large scale. With
the completion Of the high dam above
St. Paul navigation will be extended to
Minneapolis. A fleet of twenty-five
government barges is to bring coal from
St. Louis to the Twin Cities, and carry
iron and other products back. The
government needs the iron and the rail
roads are too congested to care for the
traffic, SO the river will come in mighty
handy at this time. .
For years people living along the river
have agitated it's deepening, while old
steamboat men insist that it is about
the same as when a mighty commerce
was born upon it's waters. All that was
needed, they said, was freight, and the
boats. With the freight the boats would
be forthcoming. With practically long
disuse there are no doubt much to be
done in cleaning out flled-in spots,
widening in places and the building of
docks, elevators and warehouses, but
the river is just as good as it ever was.
The claim that railroad transportation
IS faster than river transportation is not
substantiated, according to latest figures.
River transportation is cheaper, except
ing where railroads cut the rates to river
points, getting back their losses where
there is no water competition!
With government regulations under a
wider scope the discrimination against
river transportation can be done away
with. There is vast territory between
the Twin Cities and New Orleans and
If navigation once gets started again
there is no limit to what may develop.
The river can be used quicker than more
railroads can be built or old ones re-
habilitated in eql ioment. Nothing is
more certain than that the river traffic
must increase in the growing Mississippi
river valley. If this country is going
after foreign trade there could be nothing
more wise than sending it's products from
the middle west and the northwest down
the river to the sea. The Mississippi
should by right be a continuation of the
Panama canal, connecting the Great
Lakes with the South Seas and all seas.
The old myth Of the lack of water has
been dispelled. There is plenty and to
spare. ,t. @.:

position Of the press and the indifference
of the Commercial Club It does seem
strange that with all the financial as
sistance, and under the most favorable
conditions, nothing in the way of re-
cruiting among New Ulm men has been
accomplished. There are in New Ulm
at least 100 to 125 eligible young men
clamoring for an opportunity for en-

on the part Of anyone, over 60 young

in the murder of Policeman George
Connery Of Minneapolis. While Nc
Cool didn't actually fire the shot that
killed the policeman, the jury has de

convicted him of murder in the third
degree. The maximum penalty is thirty
years Imprisonment. Now, if he gets
another thirty years for his part in the
