SCHOOL CHILDREN WILL HAVE
CHANCE TO DO THEIR BIT
FOR CITY AND COUNTRY.

While their fathers and big broth
ers are fighting in Uncle Sans forces,
their older sisters training in the
Girls Liberty League Battalion, and
their mothers enlisting in the ranks
of Gamers, knitters, and conservers,
the school children of Minneapolis
are to have chance to do their bit
for their city and country. They, too,
are to be modified as soon as school
opens in the fall, by Miss Florence
Leininger, who has been engaged by
the Anti-tuberculosis committee for
that purpose.
Various badges will be awarded for
various services, but all will bear the
emblem of the American Red Cross,
with; which this nationwide health
movement is closely affiliated. Cru
saders pledge themselves to carry out
instructions on their health cards. In
accordance with these, they must wash
ter before each meal, play out of
doors at least half an hour each day,
brush their teeth night and morning,
+: practise deep breathing, spend ten
; hours in bed with the window open,
and sit and stand erect. Those who
| would rise from the ranks to the
honor of commission must show
perfect record, and also obtain new
recruits. Boys and girls alike are
eligible for enlistment, and must bind
themselves to fight for civic as we'll
as personal health and cleanliness.

PLENTY OF WORK
FOR EVERYBODY

There's plenty of work for every
one who's willing and able to work.
these days." is an assertion that is
often heard. This is true as far as
it goes; but what of those who are
handicapped in the struggle for indie
pendence? 1t was to aid men physi-
cally below par, either on account of
injuries or poor health, that the en-
ployment bureau of the Associated
Charities was opened. During the first
six months of 1918, it has listed 382
jobs, and sent 179 men to apply for
them. Eighty-five men took 121 jobs,
SO of them being of permanent, and
SO of temporal nature. 1t will be
seen that in many instances several
temporary jobs, one after another,
were secured for the same man. In
"a cases men failed to report for
work; IS did not possess the neces-
sary qualifications; IS turned down
jobs offered; "a, through no fault of
their own, failed to get the jobs they
applied for.

IRELAND and The
IRISH QUESTION
Continued from Page ~

8. The majority of the members of
Parliament for Ulster are Nationalist.
10. Can Ireland stand? Is she rich
enough?
These are questions that can best be
answered by comparing Ireland with
small nations of Europe that have
prospered in freedom. See how Ire
land holds her own in size: Belgium
has 1900 square miles; Holland, 49,
900; Denmark, $4,000; Switzerland,
10000; Ireland, $4,000; Serbia, $4,000;
Portugal, $4,000; Greece, $4,000; Bull
garia, $4,000.
In population also she is we'll to the
fore. Norway, Denmark and Switzer-
land all have less than her 1,40O,000
population. Serbia, Bulgaria, and
Greece, have only 100000 or 100000
more.
What do these nations pay each
year to run their own business, and
in most cases do their business better
than big nations? Here are the annual
bills: Serbia, 5,25o,ooo (s2e,5oO, ooO (;
Greece, 100000; Switzerland, 1000.
900; Norway, 100000; Bulgaria, T.
100000; Denmark, 100000. Dublin
Castle rule cost Ireland last year, 49,
100000 S,5OO,OO0). 1t is cheaper to
be free than in slavery.
Ireland before the war was contri'
buting sixty millions dollars to Eng
land in taxation; last year G91O she
contributed 100000 in taxation to
England, and yet English propaganda
in America asserts Ireland is not
helping to win the WARM. O. S. In

SIZE OF cANToNMENT.

We hear and read about a canton.
ment, but l wonder if we know what
it means just to build one. Here is
some idea: 1t requires 43,700,000 feet
of lumber, 1898 doors, 224,9O9 square
feet of wire screening, 20 carloads of
nails, 10000 electric lamp sockets, $751;.
1872 feet Of telephone wire, 179 miles of
piping and 20 miles of roads. There
are 1871 buildings in some of our
cantonments.

complication of routine work.
At the first session of the second
day Of the convention four Supreme
Directors were elected-WiMiam P.
Larkin of New York, William ]. Multi
gan of Connecticut, John F. Martin of
Wisconsin and Luke E. Hart of Mis-
souri,, the three first named succeed
ing themselves on the Supreme Board.
Bishop Muldoon appeared before the
convention at the final session, and
after his address, explanatory of the
new method whereby funds for
knights of Columbus and allied Cath
Ole war relief work could be collected,
the conventions loyal adhesion, unan-
imously expressed, was given to the
arrangement.
Messages to Rulers.
At this same session of the conven-
ton messages were sent to the Holy
Father, President Wilson, the Apos-
tolic Delegate, General John Pershing,
Ambassador j. j. Jusserand and Cap
tain Andre Tardieu, General Commits
sioner of French-American Relations.
The messages were all worded in the
loyal and cordial vein that has always
characterized the Orders declarations
of fidelity to the spiritual and tempo
raj authorities.
(, 1t was in the spirit of devotion to
country and enthusiastic support of
all our leaders in the war for democ-
racy and in the full consciousness of
the pledge, solemnly expressed by the
Supreme Knight, that the Order would
go to the utmost of it's actual and
potential resources in behalf of the
great work for our fighting men, that
the convention officially closed.
Especially touching in it's signifi-
canoe was the tribute paid by the Or
der to the memory of Joan of Arc at
the statue of the Maid of Orleans on
Riverside Drive, New York, on the
morning following the convention. Be-
fore distinguished company, includ-
ing prominent men of practically all
the Allied nations, Supreme knight
James A. Flaherty laid a Lorraine
Cross at the foot of the statue Of the
sainted maid, the cross bearing the
inscriptions: "To Joan of Arc, Heroine
of France, Maid of Lorraine, in COM
memoration of the victory of Marshal
Foch and Generals Petain and Perish
ing. From tie knights of Columbus
of America" At the same hour, in
the city of Paris, Lorraine Cross
from the knights of Columbus was
placed on the statue of Jeanne dare
in the French metropolis.
Tribute to Joan Of Arc.
In addition to this picturesque trib-
ute to the French nation through its
immortal heroine, the Knights OF Co.
lumbus demonstrated it's" fraternal re-
gard and affection for the soldiers
of France by cabling the sum of ten
thousand francs to Madame Foch, wife
of Marshal Foch for the Fund for
| the widows and orphans of French
soldiers fallen on the field of honor
the committee in charge of which Ma
dame Foch is chairman.
Coming, as it did, when the cables
were filled with the joyous news of
great Franco American victories on
the Western Front, this evidence of
admiration and devotion of American
Catholicity for French Catholicity was
most appropriate.
| The Order also voted to present a
baton to Marshal Foch bearing the
inscription: "Renoy, Saint Cloud,
Ypres, Somme, La Marine Seconde."

4 SUGGESTION
President Wilson Addressed
on Subject of Grain Price
Regulation. \

Realizing that with the present high
prices of corn, rye and other wheat
substitutes, the farmer will be tempted
to plant O larger acreage of e
cereals and decrease his cultivation OF
what land, the directors of the Com
mercial club yesterday addressed the
following telegram to John Burke,
United States treasurer, at Washing
please deliver this message to
President Wilson at once. Farmers
much concerned over regulation Of
wheat and wheat -four prices and not
of other grains. Thisswill result in
greatly decreasing h acreage. of
wheat, and increasing the acreage, of
corn, barley and oats, and will also
greatlys reduce the number of hogs
and other animals raised. Wheat is
now the cheapest feed article and is
being fed to stock on farms. Action
should be taken at once to eliminate
speculation and regulate price of all
grain and live stock products, so that
there will be a maximum effort made
to increase production. Refer to
brief of report of North Dakota
Wheat Committee before Price Fixing
Committee last August. High prices
of wheat substitutes combats efforts
to increase wheat acreage.

TO MEN
OF CITY TO AID
THE RED CROSS

Appearing M The Herald Sunday
n Monday. a statement from the
Grand Forks county chapter Ameri-
can Red Cross. I hope that the sig
nifcance of that statement arrests
every man. 1t Is an appeal for in
creased funds to Garry on the Red
Cross work. The appeal is timely,
because the need is urgent.
The ONE of the city are working
earnestly and devotedly. 1 do not be-
lieve that their work can be eQualed
by any other city of the same size
in this northern division. Those of
US who are on the inside see this,
know this and have come to deeply
appreciate it. 1t is wonderful and
inspiring.
Then, too. may ]. say this word to
you: that the merchants of the city
are selling materials for garments to
the Red Cross at, a minimum profit
and in many cases goods are sold at q
price they could not replace them
for today. To know this is to appre-
ciate it.
Our city and countN5have made a
magnificent record, one that is wor-
thy of the best days of its past. We
not afford to allow it to be lowered.
So l wish to enforce this appeal. 1t
all comes to this: the women are an
organized army of workers. We men
must become an organized army OF
givers. I make my appeal on two
grounds:
First, for your wi sake.
Second, for the sake of the women,
All true living costs something. Join
the army of givers. If you are al
ready in this army, then rise a STEP
higher and JOHN the army of "increas-
ed givers." 1t will enrich your life
and content your soul. The women
will take your gifts and weave them
into garments with loving hands and
with many prayers. Do not deprive
them Of this opportunity to serve and
care for our brave soldiers. u boys
have already counted the cost. They
have made in their hearts and ir
their minds the supreme sacrifice fol
US who are at home. Death may come
to some of them, but their death !:
our life. So let us give of IL means
of our time, Of our love. l know thai
you have had many appeals and have
given nobly.

Murder Charges.

Missoula, Mont, Feb. 19.-Arthur
soule. wealthy Sanders county ranch
er, who is awaiting trial at Thompson
Falls for the alleged murder of Ben
soule, his neighbor and nephew. last
month, was charged with the murder
OF his own baby daughter 81 years
g in an information filed yesterday
by county Attorney Wade Parks.
The prosecutor filed the second
charge of first degree murder il the
Sanders county : district court at
Thompson Falls to illustrate efforts of
Soule's attorneys to have their client
admitted to bail. Judge b. Lee Nc
Culloch had fixed Soule's bail at $15,-
600 and the man was ready to furnish
bonos when Parks brought the new
action.
The murder charge is based upon
an atllcaNit by Mrs. Arthur Soule. The
wife wears that 21 years ago, just
aeter II ey' were married, her husband
k.'.ed their year-old daughter, Vera
Eurrell horn out of wedlock.
"h. charge came as the climax of
an exciting series of events. Judge

attorney hat unless the Soule case
could be tried at once he would ad-

time and the court fixed bail at $751;

Immediately a petition was cir.
culated in Thompson Falls. with the
name of John +. Mckay heading it,
asking the court to reconsider the
decision. Scores of signatures were
secured and the petition taken to
Judge McCulloch. The judge bitterly
rebuked the petitioners for attempting
to influence the court and refused to
alter his decision. Parks then asked
leave to file the information.
Soule is awaiting trial for the al
legged murder Of his 2S-year-old
nephew, Ben. in a duel fought in the
younger mans cabin last month. Mrs
