WILL PETITION CONGRESS
TO EXPOSE DISLOYALTlEs

A statewide petition with thou
sands of signers will be sent to Con-
gress at it's next session, asking that
body to quickly enact legislation to
curb the activities of the disloyalists
and "Huns Within Our Gates"
The man who earnest y, actively
unselfishly and periodically is doing
his full duty as an American citizen
in all war activities, is entitled to
recognition and a strong effortais to
be made to secure legislation that
will enable people in every commune
ty to count noses" as to their loyal
ty or disloyalty. There can be nc
half way position on the part of any
one and as to the boys in Khaki get
into the real scrap, there will be an
insistent demand that there is nc
occasion to suspicion anyone's loyal
ty to this government and that he is
in full accord with it's war program
Either this or the legislation asked
for will enable local authorities to
deal with sedition and disloyalty in a
vigorous manner.
The commission of Public Safety
is acting in conjunction with the
American Defense Society in promot-
ing petition week when signers will
be solicited by Scouts, Camp Fire
Girls, Home Defense Leagues, ETC.
Copies of the petitions will soon be
given out to all county directors and
full publicity will be given in the
newspapers. 1t is a movement that
will eventually "smoke out" every
disloyalist and make him show his
colors.

C0LD-PACk FOODS
ARE NOT POISONOUS

Denying assertions which have

cal journal and circulated widely, DR.,
H. L. Lang, in the government SER
vice says:
"There is no danger that the type
OF food poisoning known as 'Botul-

vegetables which have been canned
by any of the methods recommended
by the United States department of
agriculture, providing that such d.
rections have been followed carefully
and that no canned goods are eaten
which show any signs of spoilage.
In case of doubt as to whether the
contents of a particular can have
spoiled, the safest plan is to throw
it away, although all the danger
from botulism may be avoided by
boiling the contents of the can for a

In the cold-pack method of can

following process: Cleansing

CONSERVATION 1H0RoDRED ST
LIVE STOCK SHOW AND SALE
Tho Equity co-0perative> Exchange
viii Hold on December nth and !
18th First Live Stock Show.

For anumber of years the North
western farmers have realized that
they must change their system Of
farming and raise more live stock,
show held at time of the year
and combination public sale and
when the farmers are through with
their years work is very important
as it gives the farmers chance to
attend and compare the merits of
the different breeds.
It is possible for the small buyer
working on limited capital to ira
vel over much country in search of
his requirements. He can neither
spare the time nor money for max
ing such trips but must resort to
letter writing to find the breeding
stock he wants, and that at best is
very unsatisfactory and results many
times in disappointment and finapcial
loss.
This combination Show and Sale
held at the close of the years work
will solve the problem of the North
western farmers. The small breeder
who has but few head to offer can
i'll afford to advertise on large scale
but all can consign their stock to a
live stock show and sale that is we'll
advertised, and the buyers from far
and wide can meet the sellers face
to face at such a gathering, and the
one trip to South St. Paul with the
loss of only few days time will
SATISFY both the breeder who has
stock to sell and the farmer who
wishes to purchase a few heads for
his requirements. Thus the Show
and Sale will serve the needs of the
small breeder with stock to sell and
it will help the small farmer to pur-
chase his breeding stock.
This, the first annual sale of one
of the largest farmers organizations
Of the Northwest, will be open to all
breeds and it is anticipated that this
show and sale conducted annually
at the close of the years work when
the farmers of the Northwest can
all attend will revolutionize the pure
bred live stock industry of the
Northwest
The Sale this year is already an
assured success. Many entrees are
being received and some of the best
breeders of the Northwest will be
represented and the largest number
of buyers that ever attended show
and sale at South St. Paul will be on
hand to make their purchasers.
A farmers meeting will be held on
the evening of December 18th at St.
Paul and will be addressed by Gov
ernor Frazier Of North Dakota, Col
March of Litchfeld, Mimi, and ]. M
Anderson, President of the Equity
Cooperative Exchange.
If you have stock which you would
like to have sold at this sale write
at once to the Equity Cooperative
Exchange, Live Stock Department
Live Stock Department., South St.
Paul, but if you wish to purchase
stock arrange now to be in South St.

DRAFT WHEEL TO SOON TURN
SMYRNA BOYS ARE ANXIOUS
GETTING THEIR SERIAL NUMBER
FROM DOVER IN ANTICIPATION
Delaware Militia Grows in Numbers
Only 800 More Men Needed to
Bring Regiment to Full Quota

Young men of Smyrna and vicinity |
who recently registered for the con-
scription draft are on the anxious
bench this week as the time draws
near for the turning of the draft
wheel. Last Friday there was consierd-
able agitation brought about by false
rumor that the wheel had already
been turned. The names of several
men in Smyrna and Clayton were on
the lips Of everybody Later, in con-
sulting Kenney's office at Dover, it
was found that the report sent over
the wire was without foundation. The
u. S. Government now intends max
ing this draft some time this or next
week. A vast amount of clerical
work has been necessary to get the
serial numbers of each registrant in
shape so that the draft wheel when it
will "call" a number, will draw sim
ultaneously in every district in the
United States. Many in Smyrna and
vicinity eligible for military service
are ascertaining their serial number
in Dover so as to have instant knowl-
edge when the draft is made. There
is also much activity in militia circles
for recruits. A few names were
added in Smyrna around the Fourth.
Throughout the state approximate ly
FIVE hundred men have enlisted in the
Third Battalion of Delaware
r Own" since the beginning of the
! campaign for recruits, less than three
r weeks ago. During the same period
Y by the efforts of the men on the re
r cruiting parties, the military strength
n OF the regiment has been more thai
. doubled. Despite the good work al
e ready done, strenuous efforts will b.
/ made within the next few weeks t
n secure eight hundred more recruits 8
Is as to bring the Delaware regiment t
l. it's full war strength. The number {
l.. men already enlisted is 1908. For
hundred and ninety-seven of thes
have joined the Third Battalion dul
ing the drive for a full regimen
ed which is still in progress. Less ths
10 a month ago there was not seven hui
OF dred men in the two Delaware ba
s. talions and from these figures the e,
is cellent work done by the "Blue Hen

ly proclamation that all National Qua

to the Delaware contingent. The Fir
Id Battalion is already in the feder

port of Chief Engineer Upham, in
cluding observations during a trip
made by him and Secretary Francis
through Pennsylvania, Massachusetts
