In reply to an inquiry regarding the
commercial use of quack grass roots
Professor H. L. Bolley of the North
Dakota Agricultural college says, "the
underground stems Of quack grass,
which are indirectly called "roots'',
have been widely used as standard
drug in various, forms for number of
years. Years ago it was a common
household remedy used for fevers. At
present it is sold under the name OF
Triticum, repens and is manufactured
into drug used for diuretic purposes
s'The present scientific name is
Agropyron repens, and the plant is
known as one Of the most dangerous
weeds in the country. 1t spreads by
means of it's tough, fibrous under
ground stems and extends itself from
year to year, often covering the whole
farm eventually. The sale of any
seed containing quack grass is forbid
den by law in North Dakota"

REV. SHEARER
AT THE FRONT

Standing in a forward trench with
an advance party in "No Mans Land
for % hours, with big shells falling
near enough to spray him with mud
and with Slachine gun bull IS con-
stantly whizzing over his mead, Rev;
A. Shearer writes his wife, Mrs. Cath
crime Shearer, of Lakota, form hos
pital in France that he has had enough
of trench warfare for some time.
Rev. Shearer is serving with the Ca.
madam forces, and explains the causes
of his being in the hospital as "slight
shell shock, rheumatism and scabies,'
the Latter due to the fact that during
a week he spent in the trenches he
dld not have his clothes off. "What
annoyed me most was not the shells
I soon got used to them. But the
Huns had a machine gun trained OF
my part of the trenches, and every
few minutes it would open up and bull.
lets would go whizzing over my head
Of course I could have lain down il
my hole and been out of danger, but
had to be on the lookout for an attack
and so had to stand up all the time
A few nights before we left the
trenches, we made an attack on the
Germans and succeeded in capturing
that machine gun and SO prisoners
We only lost three men,"

LABOR IS TOO
LOYAL TO join
THE LEAGUE
HEAD OF MINNESOTA Fedora.
..TION SAYS UNIONS ARE PAT.
RIOTIC.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. o.
"There is one sure way for organized
labor to kill itself, and that is to join
a disloyal and anti-American move
ment," 7. G. Hall, president of the
Minnesota State Federation of Labor,
declared yesterday at the Office of the
Second district draft board, of which
he is member.
"There is no question:" said Mr..
Hall, "but that the Non-partisan lea
que at it's meeting in st. Paul has
made broad overtures to organized la
Dor for affiliation. The statement that
the league is seeking to combine the
farmer and the union man is patiently
true.
Loyalty Before Union, He Says.
"It will never succeed" he contin-
ued, "because rs per cent of the union
men in Minnesota are SO loyal the
it came to a question of either Joining
an un-American movement or quitting
the labor union, they would leave the
union and cling to their American.
ISM" u.
Zone can easily see the terrible
menace to the organized labor move
ment of such bats as the Non-parti
san league is holding out. To accep
their overtures and. join disloya
group would be signing the death war
rant of the organization we have bee1
working for during forty years.
IF if were put up to me PERSONAL,
today to either join the s..isloyal ele
ment or quit unionis1n would ste]
out in minute.
Laboring Men Repudiate Plan.
Mr.. Hall said laboring men in Min
neapolis were calling him by telephon
as soon as he got out of bed yesterda,
to demand reputation of all sucl
leanings by Minneapolis organized la
Dor.
That organized labor will steer
careful course, but one that leaves n
question of its firm loyalty, was tn
opinion Mr.. Hall expressed. The far
mers also, he said twill see that tn
fine promises Of the league leader
cloak only disloyalty to the countr
and will repudiate the eague and stan
firmly behind the policies of the Unit
ed States"

yum K|PPUR
YESTERDAY
DAY OF ATONEMENT WAS CELE.
BRATED BY JEWS YESTERDAY.

Yesterday was observed as Yom
Kippur, the day Of Attonement, by the
Jews thruout the world. This is the
greatest fast of the Jewish year.
From sunset on the 25th till sunset of
the 26th the observant Jew neither
eats nor drinks, but devotes the day
to ferverent worship. Yon Kippur is
distinctive among Jewsish holidays,
it is not associated with nature or
with their history. It is d day for the
searching of the heart to find union
with the God of the world.
The fast originated in Biblical times,
and is described in the sixteenth chap
ter of the book of Leviticus. In those
days the people tasted and afflicted
themselves, while the high priest made
atonement for the entire house of Is
rael. This atonement was made in an
cient fashion by sacrifices, and es-
pecially by the symbolic rite of driv-
ing the scapegoat into the wilderness
to bear away the sins Of the people.
Now prayers takes the place of sac
rifces. In modern Judaism prayer is
the right form of approaching God.
Jews devote the Day Of Attonement
to prayers for the forgiveness of their
sins. They avoid all ordinary and
sordid interests on this Sabbath of
Sabbaths. The fasting is abrogated,
however, for children, old people and
the sick, or in times Of famine and pes
thence, or such contingencies as are
incident to the deprivations of war.
The aim of Yom Kippur is atone
ment through prayer and repentance,
These contain no element of medita-
tion thru either q redeemer of a sacri-
flee. The only true repentance comes
through change of heart and effort
to do better. Each human being
stands before his Maker seeking in
honesty to make his record clean.
A feature of Yom Kippur is the
Memorial service. Men and women
think of their dear departed and of the
great and good who served mankind
Especially in times of stress, when
many brave men are offering up thei,
lives, ferver animates these prayers by
which their memory is honored, and
their ideals are preserved.

ONE OF THE LARGEST CROWDS
