: The Burdicks have had canteens
in a number of places, usually in
the farthest outposts allowed the
Salvation Army, and all along the
front the name Mother" Burdick
is watchword with the fighters.
The boys write letters to her, and
it's always "Dear Mother" Re
Gently, Mother" Burdick's health
suffered under the strain, and she
was transferred to rear canteen to
rest, which she didn't do. When
there was no cooking, she was al
ways near the stove, sewing buttons
on coats and repairing torn over
coats.
Not long ago some of the boys ex-
pressed wishes for some cake '.like
mother made back home" They de-
scribed the cake, and Mother" Bur-
dick got busy. She produced "shrap-
mel cake" a cross between ginger
bread and an honest-to-goodnes Am
erican cake, with currents and rails
ms in it. It's a wonder, and SO
good that the prestige of Salvation
Army doughunts and pies is In
danger,

Big ROBINSON CIRCUSIN ..
BEMIDJl;; SHOWING TONIGHT

To Fred Buchanan, the owner and
manager of this famous old show, is
due the gratitude of Americas child
hood. y"
It was his creative mind that
glimpsed the value of clean, instruc-
tive Ia d, usement for little folks al
waW arranging his programs to in
clude hta1ly features which would ap-
peal to children, at the same time
recognizing the fact that what ANU
ses and educates children has an
equal attraction for parents. Spe-
cial acts and features are secured
for the avowed purpose, of dellghtlng
children of all ages, and the SMALLEST
child will be sure to find some curl
Gus or entertaining object within the
big tents to amply repay the par
ents for the visit.
The circus is the most innocent,
healthful and perfectly legitimate
form of amusement there is. 1t COM
hines an exhibition of animals that 1t
has taken a fortune and much valor
10 collect. with show Of personal
daring that may we'll cause us TO
gape and gasp; and as for the clowns
and their antics and frol1cs-What
more wholesome than to laughI Sour,
sad and to steer clear of is the man
who never laughs; the man who
laughs is the man who really lives,
in the wholest, widest, fullest ex-
tent.
The same high class performance
and all features intact for ton1gnb.

mel cake is what they call Mother
Burdick's latest creation. It's great
and the boys flock around the little
canteen at the crucial hour when
the cake comes out of the oven,
daily. They say "shrapnel cake is
just the. thing that will make the
boys lick the Germans. =. --
When war was declared by Uncle
Sam, Mother" Burdick was down
in Texas with spa. Burdick on the

stay home when the boys were serv-
ing over there" q
s'Pa'' Burdick felt the same way,
and the two almost elderly people
volunteered to run a Salvation Army
canteen in the army zone, baking
pies, and making coffee, chocolate
and doughtnuts for the boys.

CRASPlNC BOY RIVER
: FIRM ENCOUNTERS LAW

=. st. Paul, June 24.-The state food
administration today officially an
nounced profiteering charges against
Foote Brothers & Co. at Boy River
had been adjusted. The complaint
was that of j.. A. Wye, representing
the food administration y
During the investigation, a meet
ing of settlers was called and the
investigation showed that some Of
the charges imposed by Foote Bros.
were higher than in other portions
of the state. WYE reported that Boy
River has only so inhabitants and is
located in the timber near Bemidji.
He said the settlers complained that
Foote Bros. also operated railroad
as we'll as running the store and en-
ploying men who must take part
of their pay in merchandise at high
prices on account of their inability
to go elsewhere. - -,
Wye also said Foote Bros, as re-
suit of the probe, have promised
generally to lower their scale Of pri-
ces and refund to one settler. $3.50
collected for oats seed that proved
worthless, and to generally treat
settlers in that locality with more
courtesy and fairness.

of railroads in transportation, but
one of the few Is the three-ring
Yankee Robinson circus which Is

tents on the fair grounds. ->
This circus is no stranger to Be-

of the features of the summer season.
This year it has been greatly aug
mented with the old favorite feat

Rome. June 24.-The Italians have
crossed the Piave, in pursuit of the
fleeing Austrians. Infantry and
cavalry forces crossed the flooded
Piave river In the region of Caposile.
The western bank Of the river is
practically cleared. Of Austrians and
Montello has been entirely retaken.
Only a few points on the right bank
from Zenson to the sea are now oc-
cupied by the enemy. .
! The Italians have" taken thousands
Of additional =. prisoners, infantry,
cavalry, airplanes and light artillery,
cooperating in cutting the retreat
ing foe to pieces. Great numbers
of the enemy have been wiped out.
g. All Italian guns lost in the last
drive on his front have been recov-
cred, it is reported. Nine Austrian
divisions, or 100000 men, have been
completely annihilated. Fifteen
other divisions are exhausted in the
Sanondai, ,Piave region where entire
regiments were destroyed,
The total Austrian losses are now
estimated at 100000 and the Italian
losses 10000. The retreat will leave
the Austrians in bad position on ac-
count of no concrete being obtain
able. .,... e,
z The first phase Of the Austrian Of
fensive has ended in failure. 1t had
been intended to crush the Italians
between the Jaws of the pincers of
the Invading army but it ended in a
rout for thousands of Austrians, who
are cut off, on the swollen -Piave
river with: retreat, cut off. They are
now attempting to recross the stream
and reach the main armies. ,
From Montello Plateau to the Ad-
riatic sea the enemy Is retreating
with losses estimated at 10000.
Large numbers Of pontoon bridges,
which the Austrians threw across the
Piave, were swept away by previous
rains. It is now apparent that the
Austrians considered the Italians
morale broken on account Of being
forced back last fall. This idea Is
entirely erroneous.
The Austrians are bringing up ad-
ditional forces all along the line,
which may mean that a second phase
of the battle will commence soon.

ITALIAN LABOR OPPOSES
SOCIALIST DOMINATION
(Italian-American Bureau)

ltal1an-Amer1can 5Bureau)
Rome, June 524.-The National
Congress of organized labor, meeting
in Milan, has approved the forma-
zion of the Italian labor union. The
new organization is formed in oppo-
sition to the Labor Confederation
which has always shown itself hostile
to the prosecution Of the war, be-
cause it was dominated by Social
lists of neutral inclinations. = = -
The labor organizations Of Lom-
hardy, Liguria, Emilia, the Roman
states and Naples have come out in
support of the new organization,
thus giving it 10000 members.
While in sympathy with all inter-
national labor bodies or movements
which are not instruments of terror
over any nation, but favor the lib
erty of the nations, they oppose a
war of classes, though favoring the
elevation of the proletariat.

is now found that the Farmers State
will have nothing to cOnsoli lidate,
their capital being wiped out and

The Citizens State bank has, how

Mr.. Bremmer states that the
stockholders Of the bank will make
good every cent to the depositors,
and as he is the principal stock Id
er himself he will have to stand the
greatest loss. Mr.. Bremmer in this
connection states further that when
there are dividends to be handed out
he has never noticed that the stock
holders are at all backward in COM
ing forward for their share, and
that now when the situation is re-
versed 1t is no more than right that
they should take the loss.
