newspapers which have just reached
New York emphasize editorially what
they call popular antagonism to evil

Toilette, William Randolph Hearst,
the socialists and the |. w. w. are
credited with being the chief factors in
this attitude.
The Koelnis The Zeitung remarks
that throughout the United States
the opposition against Wilson's war is
growing daily The forces at work are
tremendous and the movement has
taken on such proportions as to cause
alarm and is being considered with
deep concern in Washington.
"German-Americans Irishmen and
socialists are uniting to obstruct war
preparations and to paralyZe the con-
duct of the war" the writer says. 1.-THE
leader of this movement is the radical
Senator La Toilette, who has gained
the support of not small number of
congressman, who do all in their pow

prosecution of the war.

ed of half a loaf of stale bread. Hall
was taken in hand by the officer and
locked up at the station.
Hall had in his pockets eight dol
lars and half of five-dollar bill
which had been torn in two. After
some persuasion, he consented to
let S. go to buy some food for the
family.
1t was about nine o'clock in the
evening, when Hall was arrested. The
case was so frightful that the news
spread rapidly. Food was quickly
bought at the Smith restaurant and
sent to the wife and children. Martin
Laird, Oscar Olson, Jr., Peter Thoms
George Koenig and others quickly in
terested themselves in the stricken
family. Fuel was rushed to the frigid
dwelling and good fire was started.
Men Worked All Night.
Some of the men worked all night
The work was continued through
Christmas day. A subscription paper
was started and more than 500 in
cash collected from large number of
donors. Groceries to the value of $35
were soon purchased. A seventeen
pound turkey and ten pounds of meat
were soon brought to the house. The
woman was soon given $40 in cash.
The rent on the dwelling was paid
for three months. A suit of under
ware and two pairs of stockings were
bought for each of the little children.
AL Roemer of the Lampert Lumber
company gave ton of coal. Canned
foods and -four were furnished. 1t is
estiraated that the family was given
enough food to last six weeks.
1t is understood that the woman
has done sewing, not only for herself
and the children, but also for other
people in an effort to provide for the
family.

Hearted People in Mankato; Food and

Never was Christmas more appro-
priately celebrated, though in a
manner wholly unexpected, than ii
was at Mankato in extending aid 10 a
destitute family. The gifts came just
when they were desperately needed
But perhaps nothing that was given
to any member of the family was
more needed than the dose of Jail
medicine handed out by Judge Harry
Johnson of the municipal court to
the head of the family, Otis Hall.
While the rest of the family received
a splendid supply of fuel and grocer
les, money to pay rent. underwear
for the five little children and other
timely aid, Hall received a sentence
of sixty days in the county Jail, for
failure to support his family. He
begged for a suspension of the Gen-
tence, but the judge could not see it
in that way. 1t was Christmas day
and Hall had to take his Christmas
gift.
Hall is well known as former sa-
loon proprietor. Of late he has had
building work. His family has been
desperately struggling along at the
home on North Front street. There
are five small children. The oldest
is but eight years of age. The moth

liquor and his temper was bad.
In her despair the wife called the
police. An officer was sent to the
house. Such scene of misery and

SETTING OF THE STAGE
FOR BIG FOOD SURVEY
Uncle Samuel Will Take Account
OF Stock; Reports From
Dealers

Washington, D. G., December 90
The stage is rapidly being set for
Uncle Sans first year. END stock TAX
ing job, the making of the nation wide
war emergency food survey, provided
for by the last congress, according to
an announcement today by the bureau
Of markets, which is conducting the
survey. A copy of the schedule, which
is four-pag folder of instructions
and questions as to existing supplies
of food and food materials, has been
started by mail to practically every
dealer in foodstuffs, every manufac-
turer of food products, and every
holder of foods in more than family
lots, in the country. Most of the
schedules will be delivered during the
first few days after Christmas, and
should be in the hands of all persons
and concerns on the mailing list by
January 2, 1918, according to Charles
j. Brand, chief of the bureau of mar
kets. In addition, agents of the bureau
of markets throughout the country
have been furnished with a supply of
schedules, Mr. Brand announced to-
day and will distribute them on re-
food in commercial quantities whose
names are not on the mailing list at
Washington.
Returns must show the stocks on
hand December 81, 1917, and Deem
Der 81, 1915, and estimates of guam
titles in transit outward by freight
and express December 81, 1917 The
schedules provide for answers in re-
gard to sc items covering more than
100 different foods
In addition to the survey by mailed
schedules, which will cover most COM
mercial holdings of food in the coun-
try, intensive surveys will be made by
agents in forty threee typical counties
in various parts of the United States
in order that the figures obtained by
mail may be checked. Estimates will
be made also of stocks Of foodstuffs
on farms by the bureau of crop esti-
mates.
The complete survey will yield the
most accurate information ever COL
lected in regard to the extent of the
nations food resources, and is con-
sidered by Officials an important step
in the effort to place the country on
safe footing in so far as the food sup
ply is concerned. ~
The figures it is explained, will
permit the making of intelligent plans
for adequate conservation and dis
tribution of existing food supplies and
for production of additional food.
