Children Start Sugar-Saving
Campaign

Hc CiiIutCh VI COiuHAuiu VIZ
certainly are doing their bit to help
our country. For an exercise in
English, one day. they wrote to the
State Council of Defense, asking
what they could do to help, but aft
err it WAS written, the children were
not satisfied to leave 1t as a school
exercise. They wanted to really
send it, SO they did. Then not long
after, long three-page letter came,
commencing the boys and girls for
their patriotism and suggesting
several different ways for them to
help. Among other things 1t sug-
gested that the boys and girls do
without candy until Christmas and
save that much sugar to send to
the poor French people and our
American soldiers in France who
have almost no sugar at all.
At first the boys and girls
thought they couldn't do this, then
they voted they would only have
half as much as usual. But few
days later the new soldiers left that
city, just as they did here, and all
the boys and girls were down at the
station to see them off. You know
how such a scene looks, and how it
makes you feel. Those Columbia
City folks we're just like you, and
the first thing they did when they
got back to school was to vote on
that sugar question again, and this
time they decided they did not want
to go half way about doing their
bit. They decided unanimously to
do without candy until Christmas,
and more than that, they decided to
get everyone else that they can, to
do he same thing.
At once they began writing to all
the district schools In their coun-
ty, and after that, hearing of our
little Junior newspaper down here
at Richmond they even wrote to us.
The letter follows, and anyone who
would like to tell those Columbia
City folks what we are doing here
in Richmond to help our country,
and how glad We will be to do any
thing the State Council of Defense
asks, may write to the author Of
the letter:
Aunt Molly, Palladium, Rich
mond, Ind
Dear Madam: ! am sending two
letters in here which will explain
to you what we can do to help this
great war. The children OF the
Columbia City schools have pledged
not to use any candies until Christ
mas, on account that the demand
for sugar, that 1t contains, is SO
great.
France and our Allies needs one
hundred thousand tons of sugar.
Just think, boys and girls, one hun
dred thousand tons.
We voted by ballot in our schools
by which Eyes" means we should
quit eating candies and mo"
means we should not quit eating
candies. We all seemed to think it
was all right.
Now won't you vote in your
schools the same way as we? Try
and help US to win the great war.
Please ask the teachers to read
this to your children. Then ans
wer and tell me about your voting
and what you thought about it.
Very truly yours,
MISS RHEA SCHANG,
R, F. d. No. !, Columbia City, Ind.
p. Snow don't neglect this
wonderful thing. We want you to
help us win this great deed.

Uric Acid Poisoning!

The most eminent physicians recog-
kize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present in
the joints, muscles, or nerves. By ex-

Hotel and Surgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y, DR.. Pierce discovered .combina-

Anuric 49, which drives out the uric
acid from the system, and in this way

PROTESTS
WIN BOARD
ATTENTION
Several Matters Adjusted by
State Rail Commission In
Swing Around State.

Bismarck. N. D. April 9.-The first
stated meeting of the new railway
commission, held in Minot last week,
has resulted in the correction or adj
justment Of conditions in a number of
towns in the northwestern part of the
state which had filed protests with tho
board ..
Secretary calderhead reported that
the petition for a siding at Hartlar1d
will not be favorably considered for
the present, investigation seeming to
indicate that the spur now located at
that point is ample. At Donnybrcok,
where there was complaint Of dam
ger0us crossing, because of view of
trains being INSTRUCTED by the station,
or by the presence of q train on the
passing track, the railroad company
has agreed to cut trains while standing
on the passing track and to station a
Waterman on the crossing at such
times and when switching is in prog
ress.
The railway company agreed to es-
tablish a new passenger station at
Lostwood, Transforming the present
passenger depot into a freight house.
Anamoose has been taken Under adj
visement. Patrons protested the abb
sence OF night operator on the
grounds that Il deprives them Of
means of ascertaining whether two
important night trasNs are running on
time, unless they wish to go to the
expense Of sending a message to the
nearest night station, and that long,
needless waits for tardy trains often
result.
With regard to station lamps at
Towner, the railroad company pre-
scented evidence to show that the agent
is provided with three lamps, which
he is expected to keep burning. Failure
to keep his lamps trimmed, will re-
suit in further action by the COM
mission. In the meantime other ac-
commodations for the comfort of pas
sengers have been agreed to-.

. NO BAR TO
GOOD WORK
Patients ct Jamestown Asy-
lum, Working on Farm,
Shows Good Results.

jamestown, N. D., April 9.--That
even insane folk can't go wrong with
North Dakota's mixture of soil and
sunshine is shown by the success
which the state hospital for the in
sane at jamestown has made with it's
| farming operations. Last year farm
produce and garden truck raised at
the asylum, principally by patients,
reached a value or $4,000 to $4,000,
to. say nothing of furnishing healthful
wholesome employment for the in
mates.
Some interesting items produced
are 1916 bushels of potatoes. worth
at going prices SS7,059s Ats bushels
OF barley; 1885 bushels of oats; 1900
bushels OF ear corn; $40 tons Of en-
silage; 100 bushels Of beets; 1000
bushels of carrots; 1000 bushels of
Iparsnips; 400 bushel of ripe tomatoes
and +. 500 of greens; 500 bushels of
onions; 5000 dozen punches of green
onions; 500. head Of caulifower; $4,000
punches Of celery, $1,000 heads OF
Icabbage, worth at present prices about
$4,000, and comparatively large
quantities Of sweet corn, green beans,
wRtermelons, radishes, rutabagas,
green peas. lettuce. spinach, satisfy,
Swiss chard, pumpkin, squash and
lrhubarb.
And the hospital cannery, also oper-
ated by patients, did Its share, put
ting. up" for winter $50 gallons of
string beans; twenty gallons of sweet
corn; 81 gallons of peas; 246 gallons
of ripe tomatoes; AZ gallons of pump
kin and sixty gallons OF rhubarb.
All OF this produce, of course, was
consumed by patients, and it served
to cut down the states grocery bill
Just so much, and at the same time
gave the inmates absolutely fresh
vegetables and fruits Of, the highest
grade.
The board Of control is trifle proud
of the achievement of the state hos
pital. It believes IL is one OF the best
'back to the farm" arguments North
Dakota can produce proving there's
nothing, even to muskmelons and wa
termelons, in which F1ickertaildom
cannot make good.

the number of guardsmen entitled to a
pension under the provisions of the
guardsmen who served on the Mexican
border last summer and fall. The
amounts due individual guRrdsmen
range from $50 to $50, depending upon
length Of service. Quite q number will

cause OF their having benefited from
