Erickson, for the entertainment OF the
representatives Of their company, who
will be here for he big met.
F. R. Washburn, division sales man
ager. and probably one of the hest
known tractor men in the country,
will be here as the factory represen-
tative. In addition to being an au-
thority of national repute Mr.. Wash.
burn is practical machinist and
many Of his ideas have been incor-
porated in the new designs Of Case
tractors. Anton Jensen, assistant
branch manager and genuine North
Dakota product, will be here to meet
his old acquaintance. Manager Han
son of Fargo has attended every trac-
tor demonstration Of consequence that
has been held in the United States
and Canada and his experience will
prove invaluable in arranging the
demonstration of the Case Threshlng
Machine Co.'s exhibits here. In ad-
dition to this Mr.. Hanson is great
booster for the Northwest and has a
warm spot in his heart for Minot IN
particular.
A representative of the Independent
was shown over the Minot house to-
day and the many new types of trac-
tors and separators were a revelation
to him. One of the nobbiest tractors
we have seen is the Type B, tractor
rated at 9-18. This is their small
tractor, and they have a separator to
match. In fact from this size on up to
the mammoth 5000, the tractors and
separators are built for practical util-
ity. The Minot house also carries a
full line of repair parts, an item OF
considerable moment to the purchaser
of either tractor or separator as ire
quently during the busy season walt
Of even a days time for repairs will
entail a loss running into hundreds Of
dollars. No such waste Of time with
the Case. Besides the gas machines
they have the old reliable steam trac-
tor-one of the best made. Visitors
will do we'll to take time by the fore
lock and place their orders for repairs
or new machines during the Tractor
Demonstration, because every one
knows the uncertainty of freight and
express shipments, and besides there
is a probability that there will be such
a demand upon the manufacturers this
fall that many will be unable to fill
their orders. Manager Erickson as
sures the Independent that he will be
on the job every minute and see that
visitors and patrons either at the
warehouse or on the grounds are made
comfortable and shown every atten.

Came shouting Of women and chill
dren slain;
Of outrages committed too fright
full to name;
Of babies who lay in their watery
graves,
Little shadowy forms calling out
from the waves;
Until in despair we have answered
the call,
Accepted the challenge and offered
our all.
Then out from the factory, the
church and the farm,
The store and the bakery, the shop
and the barn..
From every profession and station
in life,
To the beat of the drum and the
strains of the fife,
Those boys Of the nation, the men
of the day
Are shouldering their rifles and
marching away.
They are coming by millions, those
khaki clad men,
To carry Old Glory to victory, a1u
then
They are there in the trenches n
the thick of the fight, .
And the hordes Of the kaiser will
soon feel their might.
But marching beside them, their
dangers to share,
To give to the wounded the tender
est care,
Not counting the danger nor caring
for loss
Borne up by the badge of the great
Red Cross,
And willing to die if worst comes
to worst,
Brave Sisters in Mercy-the white
robed nurse.
And so these brave heroes DER the
ocean so far
Have placed on Old Glory each elit-
tering star.
Leader: All! Scouts, with banner
whose colors have been painted with
the blood and tears of our Fathers
and Mothers and Brothers and Sisters,
the past is glorious, the present is
safe, but what of the future?
Scouts, all together: We are the
Boy Scouts of today, the Men of To-
leave the future to US.
Leader: God grant that we may.
And now let US renew our pledge to
our Flag.
Scouts: 1 pledge allegiance to my
Flag and to the Republic for which it
stands. One nation indivisible, with
Liberty and Justice to all.

0 Flag of our hearts, may we ever
be true,
To thy stripes and thy stars, and
thy field of blue.
To the end of the cycles of time
may it be
Our privilege thy beautiful colors
to see.
Leader:
Yes, Scouts, ours is beautiful flag,
Will you tell US what it means to you /?
First Scout: Yes, sir;
1t means that our hearts and our
homes are free
From the blight of the tyrant's au-
tocracy.
1t means that DER mountain and hill
and vale,
Der rivers broad, with their silvery
Ger fertile plains with their fields
of grain,
From the Golden Gate to the SHOWS
of Maine,
With her wooded hills of stately
pine,
No tyrant shall rule by right d.
vine.
AS it waves over palace of rich es-
tate
Or the home of the man who keeps
the gate,
Or the log built hut Of the pioneer
1t is calling to all with a voice Of
Come on and on where duty calls
To the front line trench or the
Capitols halls"
To me you are one, for my folds EN-.
brace
No master nor slave of cringine
race,
But women and men filled with
Gods own love,
Of the joy of living in the light
from above.
Leader: Truly, ours is wonderful
flag, but what gave it this beautiful
significance?
Second Scout: There were many
things, sir, first there was the Spirit
OF T6.
Leader: And what Of the Spirit Of
'76?
Second Scout:
Twas the spirit of those who would
not bow down
To tyrant's will tho he wore q
crown.
Twas the spirit Of heroes who dar.
ed to fling
Defiance to a naughty King.
And they sprang from the roadside

the shop and the field

the shop and the field
and the shield,
And lis! 50 on the heights Of Bunker
Or at Valley Forge-how it makes
US thrill
Those blood-stained heroes both
living and dead
Wrote into that banner it's stripes
of red.
'Twere great indeed, and what
more?
Third Scout: The Spirit of Sixty
one, sir.
Leader: And pray tell us of that.
Third Scout:
can tell it best in the shortest ay
If you will kindly listen to what l
By telling you how in a prison cell
Where the suffering was greater
than tongue can tell,
Where men who were dying by
slow decay
Were offered their freedom on any
day
That they would be false-but they
would not yield
And thus on many battle field
With spirit brave and love that
was true,
They placed on Old Glory its field
of Blue.
Leader: Great, indeed, are the he
roes of Sixty-one and we are all glad
to honor them. But what of the Spirit
of '98?
Fourth Scout: ....,
Twas a small affair, tho the issues.
were great -
That carried our boys away,
For they went to the aid Of little
state
That was down in the dust that day.
For a tyrant's heel with its cruel
spikes
Was crushing the bleeding head
Of a PROSTATE form, as bully
strikes
At the face of tender lad.
But they throttled the monster with
fingers Of steel
And sent him skulking away;
And the people of Cuba were des-
tined to feel
The last Of the tyrant that day.
But the Spirit of Ninety-eight was
fair,
And they paid him in yellow gold
For the things he had lost by the
black despair
He had wrought with his cruel hold.
And so when they paid to vanquish-
ed foe
For the things they had won in the
fight,
They painted the stripes on Old
Glory there
The purest Of snowy white.
Leader: So much for the glorious
past, but what does the present write
there?
Fifth Scout:
A call came hurting over the sea,
Came bringing a challenge to you
and to me.
Came shocking US all with its hid
eous face
And answered our pleadings with
only grimace.

Demand for Gold Must Be Greater with End of War; Juneau Has the

"Juneau's business, her commer- cial, financial and industrial struc- ture, was never on a more stable basis, and the outlook of her mines and other institutions was nsver more promising" says E. M. Beh- rends, the pioneer banker of Alaska and proprietor of one of the larg- Our mines have met and proved their worth in the face of trying con ditions caused by labor shortage and war prices for the materials they use, we are increasing our fisheries business, and, notwithstanding that we have contributed approximately $900 900 to the various war funds and hundreds of soldiers and sailors to the Army and Navy, there has not been a business failure of con sequence in this city since the be- ginning of the war, nor a sign of distress anywhere.

 "The fact that the mines have shown that they can operate without loss when only producing onethird of their capacity and with wa rprices prevailing is one of the finest dem onstrations we could have of the cer- tainty of brilliant future for this city. Our mining payrolls are large, even under present conditions, those of the developed mines increased so that they may produce and treat three times the quantity of ore that they are now handling, and with the development of other gold prop critics that is certain to come with normal conditions, we may we'll look forward to good times coming

Senate Bill Amended That the United States Can Train South Amer
 ican Troops.
WAS IDEA OF BAKER
Scope of the Bill Has Been Broadened so as to Ad- init Troops of Any
 Nation.

WASHINGTON, June 22. The Senate Military Committee has amended the $12,000, 100000 Army ap- propriation bill giving the War De- partment authority to train and equip this country with troops from any other Nation engaged in war on Germany.
 Secretary Baker originally pro- posed training and equipping troops from South American countries, but the committee made it general. Eight South and Central American coun- tries who broke relations with Ger many. possess military reserve of 2,75O,0O0 men, which includes only men between the ages of 20 and 30 years.
 Should the, militia limits prevail of men between the ages of IS and 40 be consideerd, the number could be greatly increased. Brazil alone would probably raise a million men.
