TO CITIZENS OF
SHERIDAN CO.

The Council of National Defens
have advised our County Council q
follows:
each County Council of De-
tense is responsible for the OBJ
servance of the Fourth of Julv
In each of its communities.
America is for the first time
>hghhng shoulder to shoulder
with nations of Europe and Asia
IN the cause of liberty and JUS
tlce, and it is fitting that the
day of independence should be
made day for the expression
OF the unity of purpose which
IS welding nations together in
the present struggle.
Our citizens of foreign ex-
traction have petitioned the
President for an opportunity to
manifest on the Fourth of Julv
their loyalty to the United States
and the cause for which it is
fighting. In response to this Pc
tition the President asks all citi-
zens of America to join them in
commemorating this as the an
nlversary not only of national
freedom but of universal free
DOM"
In view of the fact that this is the
anniversary of our independence it
Is proper that we should commem-
crate it with fitting ceremony show
ing a proper, due and patriotic re-
gard for things which this day rep
resents. 1t Is desired therefore that
all in so far as it is possible take
part in some observance of the
Fourth of July which will show all
nations that the anniversary of our
independence is a day sacredly .re-
garded by the people living under
the stars and stripes.
The Council of National Defense
have especially requested that SIM
plicity be the keynote of all pro-
grams, that no great amount of
money should be expected and that
40 plans should be undertaken that
will interfere with the regular To-
,al war activities.
Let us on this day pay due re-
gard and reverence to those who
lave gone across the waters to fight
.or US and to those who have already
given their lives and have found a
asst resting place upon French soil.

DISLOYALTY TO THE FAT CHAPS

The little chirping newspapers
throughout the state continue to
worry about the rank and file of the
Nonpartlsan League blindly follow
ing unscrupulous leaders, as they
term them
We wonder what the little Jour-
nalistic pee-wees are doing. Are
they familiar with all of the ms and
outs of the leaders of their own party
that they are SO blindly following?
If they were to make honest in
vcstigation of the sources of income
of the republican party in Minnesota
alone, they would have to look upon
the Nonpartisan League as a para
gon of political virtue.
The League frankly tells where
its money comes from and what is
being done with it, and it is under
obligations to no one but the farm
ers of Minnesota, the chaps who con-
tribute their SIC head for men,
bership in the League. On the other
hand. the republican party does not
divulge any of its financial secrets,
because to do that would show up
the big money interests that are rid
ing the common herd to death.
Perhaps that is the League dis
loyalty we hear so much about of
late-disloyalty to the fat boys

While no figures were offered as

stated that the cost of moving bulk

the Great Lakes.
OPINION OF
MR.. ANDERSON
j. NJ. Anderson, president of the
Equity Cooperative Exchange in st.
Paul and pioneer of the movement
in this section of the country was
next called upon to voice his senti-
ments regarding the moving of grain
westward. Mr.. Anderson outlined
briefly what the shipment of grain
westward would mean to the ~Paci-
fic coast, picturing the fact that
large flour mills would be erected,
more elevators built and the popula-
tion increased. Resources would de-
velop, immigration would increase
because of the development of re-
sources and the Pacific coast would
benefit; while the farmer would bene-
fit because of the fact that a new
market would be opened to him.
MAY BE
IN CONTROL
If wheat growers of the North
west will ship their grain westward
they will control both production and
of their grain, is the opin-
ion of Mr.. Anderson, who urged i'm
mediate action and expressed the
opinion that it meant the breaking
up of the control exercised by the
crowd. The committee,
appointed, he said, must see Food

LOOKS GOOD
TO DYER

Plans for sending the wheat west
ward looked good to H. G. Dyer, who
was one of those called upon to
speak, and he put his stamp of ap-
proval upon the project. Mr.. Dyer
spoke at some length on the evils of
grain transportation eastward, citing
some of the personal experiences he
encountered. In some instances six
ty days We're required to get a car
from Denton to Minneapolis and
though they were Disseminated
against continually no legal relief
could be afforded. This matter of
handling wheat inevitably resulted
in some financial embarrassment.
which was one of the reasons Mr..
Dyer advocated the westward move

coast in thirty days at the most and
release more money to finance fur

The prevalence of illiteracy was brought home
to many of us by the stories which the soldiers
in the military camps brought home. They told
of the establishment of schools at the canton
ments in which adults were being taught the
very rudiments of reading and writing.
A democracy can never succeed unless it's
citizens are enlightened. The writer's of the
Declaration of independence and of the Consti-
tuition belonged to class of people whose minds
had been trained and drilled. If there had not
been education, minds that had been taught to
think, the principles of democracy would not
have been understood by the founders of the re-
public.
The republic cannot be maintained unless its
citizens are educated. The schooling of the citi-
zenship is the basis of all growth in government.
Germany has an intensive school system. The
rulers of that country, as Senator Watson point
ed out in his speech here on the Fourth, believe
in education. Education has been perverted in
that country to serve the ends of autocracy, on
the theory that the state will be strong only if
its citizenship is enlightened Education there
serves only one end-the benefit of the state.
Education in America has the purpose of train
ing the individual for his own benefit directly.

Farmhands SIS Equals City Man $50

Those who have been thinking the farmland
has been underpaid should compare his wages
with what the city man is paid An editorial in
the July Farm and Fireside says:
"The farmland comes in for considerable
discussion nowadays, but he is much better off
than most people think. The Ohio State Council
of Defense has been making survey of labor
conditions, and reports that married man work.
ing on the farm for $50 month is as well off as
if he were to receive $105 in city; that $35 a
month farm job equals a S110 city job that
$40 farm job equals a $115 city job, and so on.
Not taking into consideration the report adds,
the possibility of raising some stock or produce
on shares, which is usually customary
"Nor has the married man on the farm job a
monopoly of advantages, for the report further
finds that unmarried farmland receiving $25
is as well off as if he were receiving $50 in the
city; that a $50 job for the bachelor farmland
equals 500 city job; and that a $40 job in the
farm is as good as S95 job in the city, and so on.
The difference in aggregate returns is brought
about by house rent, groceries, meat, milk light,
fuel, unnecessary expenses, and luxuries.'
