COOK c0uNTYs FOURTH d.

Exhibits Of Excellent Quality But

i The Annual Fair held on the 26th,
9th, and 28th of September was
we'll attended on all three days. y
The exhibits, although not as num-
erous in some departments as in pre-.
vious fairs, were of excellent quality
and gave evidence Of careful selec-
tion and good judgment as to types
and marketability. This was espec-
tally noticeable in the potato classes,
which contained exhibits of high
Glass;.
Due to the most commendable
fact that the women of the county
have devoted very large proportion
of their sewing to the Red Cross
work, the exhibits in the needlework
department were fewer than at pre-
vious fairs but Of the usual high
standard of workmanship. !
In the culinary department the
exhibits stressed the wartime cook
cry, and fifty-fifty styles prevailed
in bread and cookies.
An interesting feature of the fair
was the Red Cross booth, in which
We're displayed specimens of the
work done by the members of the
local sewing circle.
The sale of articles donated to the
Red Cross was very successful, and
aided by the lunch counter proceeds,
which were donated to the same
good cause, added considerably to
the county's contributions to Red
Cross funds.
Messrs. B. F. Fowler and C. E.
Campton of Two Harbors addressed
appreciative audiences on the
Fourth Liberty Loan," and Saving
the Farm Wastes" Mr.. A. ]. Nc
Guire of the Extension Division
spoke on agricultural possibilities of
northeastern Minnesota, and Mr.. Van
Wagenen, former county agent for
st. Louis county told of his exper-
fences in farming under conditions
very similar to those in this county.
The live stock, dairy and field and
garden crops were judged by Mr.. A.
j: Mcclure, poultry by Mr.: Van Wag=
enen, cooking and needlework by
Miss Rogers, and Indian Work by
Mrs. Van Wagenen.
The list of awards will be publish

MAPLE HILL Meeting
= FOR Liberty LOAN
Professor Qualheim and immigration
Officer mahon Lambast Slackers;
=; $500 Of Bonds Volunteered.

A Liberty Loan Campaign meeting
was held at Maple Hill the evening
of Sept. 26th.
The speakers were Prof. Qualheim
and immigration Inspector Joseph
5aahon. ~ -. >.
Prof. Qualheim ikened the mill
tary system Of Europe to a system
of slavery, military slavery, and said
that we were fighting for freedom
for the slave now the same as, in
"61."
Prof. Qualheim brought out the
point that the substitutes that we
were using were every bit as health
full as wheat. He said that our
health had been ruined by too much
rich food, and that it was a. positive
benefit to us to have coarser food
for our diet.
Both speakers paid their respects
to the slackers, not exactly respects
either but they said some things a.
bout them.
Mr.. Mahon divided those who had
not bought bonds into two classes.
l. Those who cannot.
, 2. Those who will not.
Those who will not: 1. tightwads,
2. Pacifsts, 8. Pro Germans, 4. Anar-
chists, I. w. w. and Revolutionists
usually passing as Socialists.
Mr.. Mahon in his characteristic way
said what he thought of each of
these classes. He expressed sympa-
thy for those in the first class, real
izing that there are some who can
not buy bonds and anything but
sympathy for those in the other
classes.
After Mr.. Mahon had finished Mr..
Simonson of Duluth, who was pre-
sent was called upon and made
short speech telling of the work of
the Liberty Loan committee in Du-
luth.
After the speaking voluntary SUBJ
scriptions were called for and $500
was subscribed.

Samuel Hopkins Adams, one of
Americas best known writer's, has
written four minute speech based
on the material furnished in the bull.
letin provided to $4,000 speakers by
the Four Minute Men of the Commit
tee on Public Information for use
during the campaign on the Fourth
Liberty Loan. The style of the noted
novelist will be readily recognized in
his Four Minute effort which follows:
"This is going to be little 4-Min-
ute talk on business. I'm going to
talk to you as business men and wo-
men. For we're all in business to-
gether now; the business of war; the
business of licking the Kaiser. We're
in business as the co-partnership of
Uncle Sam & Company. It ought to
give us feeling of satisfaction to
be partners in the biggest and most
important business enterprise in the
world today.
Like all going and successful
businesses it takes money to run it.
We've got to finance it by p4tting
our money into Liberty Bonds. I'm
here to give you some details about
what becomes of the money that
Uncle Sam expects US all to put into
this new Liberty loan-all us part
ners in the business.
t'When business man or woman,
such as you are, is asked to put
money into an enterprise, he natur-
ally wants to know what that money
is going to be used for. He wants
to know where it's going: He wants
to know what he gets for it.
"All right. Pm here to report on
that. We all know how magni6cently
our boys have been going ahead over
there, with the Huns just couple
of jumps in front of their bayonets.
Now let's see what all this is costing
in dollars. These figures that Pm
going to give you have been specially
worked out for the 4-Minute Men by
an officer of the. French High Com
mission and corps of American ex-
, perts. So, they're right. Take, for
instance, drive forward on ten
mile front. What do you suppose
that costs? Well; the first twenty
| four, hours of it costs just about a
million dollars an hour. And that
doesn't count the loss of our boys
lives, too precious to be reckoned in
dollars.
"Say there are five divisions, total.
ling one hundred thousand men in
the drive. They would have more
than two thousand artillery pieces,
light and heavy, and these would
| shoot away in the first twenty-four
hours action close to eighteen million
dollars worth of shells, some of
! them costing as high as hundred
dollars apiece. Then, the rifles and
machine guns will use more than
half a million dollars worth of the
lighter and cheaper ammunition. The
least you can estimate the wear and
tear on the guns is five and a half
million dollars more. Total, twenty
four millions for the days work. A
million an hour.
