in law school was that "a persons res
idence was where he lived" but these
20, for political reasons, give then
homes at points where they lived II
the remote past. This raises the num-
Der for the two counties to 239; the
two cities have 239 on the salary list
and 116 for all the rest OF the state,
and this ratio is constantly increasing
under every state administration.
There are 40 counties in the state that
have not single representative on
the salary drawing force employed by
the state.
Personally we don't care a straw
for this situation, but when the city
organs plead that they are giving the
state so much more than they receive
from the state we wink the other eye.
We would like to see much more
cordial state of feeling exist between
the country and the cities but it cant
be brought about by city organs pat
ronizing the country by telling them
how much more they give than re-
ceive. If they would simply say we
know we are getting whole lot more
than our share and we are thankful
for it, it would help some.

POTATOES AND THE WAR

We noticed very interesting state
ment from high European authority
recently, that the nation that could
produce the most potatoes would win
in the war that has now involved prac-
tically all the nations of the earth.
His theory was that the struggle was
rapidly developing into battle for
existence rather than battle of war
riors. That with so many able-bod-
led men engaged in the work
of destruction instead of the
work of production and the demand
for destroyers rapidly increasing there
would soon come a time when there
would be no one left capable of work
ing the machinery necessary for the
raising of small grain such as wheat,
oats, rye and barley and the world
would have to live on corn and pota-
toes and especially the latter because
they could be raised to large extent
without machine cultivation and a
given area of ground would yield a
larger food production than if planted
to anything else.
We do not fully share this gloomy
prediction but if it should prove true
it it comforting to consider that the
United States has enough territory as
yet, that has never been cultivated, to
raise potatoes enough to feed the
world.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1917-05-17
NOW is THE TIME

All over the country is sweeping a
wave OF patriotic sentiment. Inc
Young men OF the country are freely
offering their services to defend the
nations honor. Only small percent
age OF the cltizenry of this country
are qualified to serve in the ranks but
nghU.ng service Is only a small par.
of the business of warfare. Back of
the fighting force there must be a
great moral force, a great sustaining
force and entrance to this great army
of sustainers is not restricted in any
way or manner. Everyone can enroll,
regardless of age, physical condition
or sex; this is the real force that will
win the war.
One of these agencies is the cred
Cross" societies that are springing up
all over the land. Almost every city
and town in the United States has one
Sank Centre, always up on her toes,
when pupil or national welfare is in
the balance, cannot afford to be a
Stacker in this matter.
At the present time as in the past
when called upon this city is always
ready and willing to do its bit.
A movement is on foot to form a
Red Cross chapter in this town and
a canvass for membership has already
begun. Do not wait for canvassel
to call upon you, send your name to
the Herald office or to Mrs. DIR. A. F
Moynihan.
The membership will not be confin-
ed to the city but the entire country
tributary are invited to join. The slo-
gan is Zone Thousand Red Crossers'
for the Sank Centre Chapter.
A little later an immense public
gathering will be called for the pur-
pose of organization.
This is the most feasible way that
this locality can secure the credit fol
the work it does for the soldier boys
The spirit of 81 is not dead. Every
body get busy.

GOOD IN WAR

War is terrible thing to contem-
plate, viewed from any angle but it
has some compensations.
1t purges and purifies a nation.
America had reached stage wher,
the dollar mark was practically the
only mark of distinction but dollar
worhip is soon consumed in the
flames of war.
War is a great leveler; by the rule
of Mars men are judged by what they
are and not by what they are worth.
1t unifies a people; destroys feuds;
obliterates caste; wipes out differ
ences and produces oneness of pur
pose that can be brought about in no
other way.
1t transforms boys into men in a
day; developes their strength mental
ly and physically and makes them
capable of meeting life's issues COM
petently.
We entered the Civil war a bunch
of neighborhoods, permeated with
neighborhood differences and jealous
les and we emerged a nation.
We entered this humanity war a ma
ton of wealth builders; we will come
out of it nation of character build
