Lots Of American youths are fonder
right now of the old folks at home
than they have ever been before in
their lives. Some Of them are vastly
overestimating the part they play IN
the support of these "old'' folks.

Gentleman?
Pfaender, the New Ulm gentleman
who thinks he has committed no
offense, takes his orders from the
kaiser. Most Americans at this I'M
nortant date take their orders from
President Wilson. That is the differ
ence.-LeSueur News.

Should be Shot, Not Jailed.
A travelling man, who makes New
Ulm, says the fellows who are kicking
up all the fuss there are young men,
American born. Unless they right
about face pretty quick the prospect
is good for the leaders to face jail

Millers' Sacrifice Profits!
The magnanimous and patriotic
millers of Minneapolis have volun-
teered to reduce the price of flour from
$500 wheat way down to $11 or Slz
a barrel! AS four, or four and half
bushels of wheat make a barrel OF
flour the greatness Of the millers' sac
rifce may readily be seen and appre-
ciated.-Red Wing Eagle.

Not Highly Enthused.
Once in a while the local draft
board runs across friendly alien who
appreciates the motive of the United
States in war and is willing to DO his
bit. Yesterday seven were passed by
the board. In the main, however, the
friendly alien has not become much en-
Unused over the part America will
take in the war.-Daily Virginian.

Suffer for the Sins of Others.
| Already New Ulm business interests
are beginning to suffer on account OF
the anti-draft mass meeting. In two
towns on this line last week customers
| in grocery stores refused to accept
New Ulm flour. And the New Uln
mills were innocent of any participa'
ton in the anti-draft demonstration
The mills are loyal but they SUITE,
nevertheless.-Springfeld Free Press

Can't Ride on a Good Idea.
We recently had the pleasure ~ O.
taking a trip over a portion of tn
Jefferson highway in northern Mime
sofa. The idea of the Jefferson high
way-a continuous route from New
Orleans to Winnipeg-is great idea
but when it comes to roads, the Scent
highway has the greatest dirt road il
the county. And it is much bette
riding on good road than on a goo
idea.-Walker Pilot.

A Stacker Prince Beside Him.
A young man who claims exemptio
from draft because he is a divinit
student is likely to make DEVILS
n poor preacher, no matter what demon
T + nation he. may profess allegianc

n cutters and treated accordingly

i ism is at pretty low ebb. If hi
It spirituality is in the same low stat
