A MAN.

My son, at last the fateful day has come
For us to part The hours have nearly run.
May God return you safe to land and home;
Yet, what God wills, SO may His will be done.
Draw tight the belt about your slender frame;
Flash blue your eyes! Hold high your proud
young head!
Today you march in Liberty's fair name
To save the line enriched by Frances dead!
I would not it were otherwise! And yet
'Tis hard to speed your marching forth, my son!
IT'S doubly hard to live without regret
For love unsaid, for kndnesses undone.
But would the chance were mine with you to stand
Upon those shores and see our flag unfurled!
To fight Frances brace, unconquered land
With Liberty's great sword for all the world!
Oh, son! my son! God keep you safe and free
Our flag and you! But if the hour must come
To choose at last twixt self and liberty
Well close our eyes. So let Gods will be done.

we are not hindrance. We must show that we
are help. The government is from Missouri.
The best way to show Uncle Sam is to do some-
thing.
And by the way, U. S. A. stands for US of
America!
We have no room for pussyfoot patriots.
Effective loyalty is positive loyalty Passive
loyalty won't lick Germany. You can't win this
war by buying $50 Liberty bond and then sit
ting down in rocking chair and hoping.
We want hoppers, not hopers-men who will
get hop on themselves and go out and do some
thing that will help hammer hell out of the
Hohenzollerns.
The population contains too large a precent-
age of people who have to wind up at the side
with key Such people are loyal though, to be
sure They say "What's the matter with you !?

dren. l never eat meat on meatless days, nor
wheat on wheatless days. Whenever they play
'"The Star Spangled Banner" l stand up. What
more do you want?"
| What more! Good God, do such people real
ize what this war means? Do they realize after
paying all the taxes and buying all the bonds
and denying ourselves every luxury and doing
all the other things we are asked to do, that
WE WILL STILL HAVE TO MULTIPLY OUR
SACRIFICE BY A THOUSAND BEFORE WE
EVEN APPROACH THE PRICE PAID BY THE
PEOPLE OF BELGIUM AND FRANCE!
Every man who isn't taking this war home to
himself, and making it part of his life, is a
nonessential Every man who does not make the
cause of his country the subconscious thought
back of every action of his daily life, is not liv-
ing up to the possibilities of his citizenship. He
is not doing his part in the glorious work for the
liberation of humanity from despotism.
The shouting must stop, and the shooting be-
gin. We can afford to leave off singing 'The
Star Spangled Banner" long enough to go out
and work to keep that holy and sacred flag from
deilement in the dirty paws of the German kai-
SER the paws that are dripping with the blood
| of murdered millions.

"Sister Bess Wilson, editor of the Red
wood Gazette, is, without question, patriot
of the first order-there is no halfway pa
triotism about Bess, as the columns of her
paper clearly show. Of course, like many
other women she would like to be granted
the privilege of voting, and nothing would
please us more than that she be given spec
ial privilege to SO do. This is not saying
that we advocate woman suffrage generally
but merely a bouquet of violets for Sister
Bess because of her unquestioned patriotism
and the good work she is accomplishing
through the columns of her paper."-Bob
Dunn.
'Snice, Bob, but it won't do! We are just as
appreciative of your gracious words as we can
be, but it isn't exactly like Bob Dunn to sug-
gest that reward shall take the place of a
fright" We, with thousands of other women
want that equal franchise Amendment want it
mighty bad But we don't want it as conces-
sion from the men, nor as any reward, nor as
anything but an acknowledgment that we were
born 'free and equal" along with the other bi.
peds of the human race. Anyway Bob, we are
glad you think US patriotic, and we won't quar-
rel with you about that.

Isn't it great to go to school entertainment
like the at the armory last Friday evening
and watch the proud parents gloat over the
brilliant talent shown by Jimmie and Susie
placing all the credit for their success the
fact that they the children of their parents
never thinking of the hours of wrestling the
teacher has done to get this result, and never a
word of thanks for all the effort on said teachers
part. The parents that goat the hardest may
be the parents who never visit the school to see
what these same children are doing during their
working hours-to them dress parade is
enough. We repeat it is great to be P. P. with
large goating capacity-we speak from ex-
perience. But we contend it would be even
greater to be able to tear ourselves away from
the unimportant business of making money or
keeping house and actually get to know our
children and their teachers in the school room.
(This last don't know from experience but
we've been told it is so)

THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS.


On Monday thou shall eat no wheat,
Nor have for breakfast any meat.
Tuesday is lneatless all the day;
At evening put the wheat away.
Wednesday the wheat shall be taboo;
At breakfast meat thou shalt eschew.
Thursday, at breakfast touch no meat,
And spare, at supper time, the wheat.
Friday is meatless in the morn;
At even, sup on rye or corn.
The same on Saturday But mark
No pork from rosy morn to dark.
Sunday, no meat to 'gin the day,
Nor wheat when falls the evening ray.

THE CAPITAL OF THE UNITED STATES
IS MISSOURI
(By Harry A. Earnshaw)

n IGHT at this particular minute, the Uni
X ted States doesn't give a damn about
you.
It sounds like pretty strong language, but it's
truth.
There has been lot of discussion as to what
industries, businesses, trades, callings and pro-
fessions are nonessentials.
II you want to settle the question as to your
own business or personal activity, apply this
axiom to the problem:
Every business and every man that is not di-
rectly or indirectly furthering the prosecution
of this war is nonessential.
The quicker we learn this lesson the quicker
and the harder we shall strike Germany The
interests of the whole nation are paramount to
the interests Of any one class.
Furthermore, it is not enough to show that

Paul Dehnel never was able to make the grade
as a second-class editor, and now his atrocious
sheet which is a blemish on Minnesota newspa-
perdom has been refused the third-class mailing
privileges. We don't know of anyone who out
classes Paul except Paul himself What we are
worrying about now however is how all that
great multitude of subscribers which Paul claims
flocked to his mailing lists, are going to have
their taste for the kind of slush Paul published
satisfied.

Jim Mammalian, who for two years misrep-
resented the state at large in congress, was

Don't expect to be amused sootheo by
public talks these days. That is not the pur-
pose of such talks. They are designed to arouse
all America to sense of what is actually hap
pening, the tragedy which walks abroad through
all the lands where the kaiser has set his foot,
and what America must do to stem the tide of
devastation. They who do not want to face
these facts fairly and solemny and with full
understanding were wiser to stay at home where
such things are not mentioned. Public speak
ers are not simply trying out their oratory; they
are stating educative facts because they have
been asked by their government to do If
their talks "bore" certain members of their au-
dience it is not the fault of the talks but of the
listeners who are not big enough to recognize
the necessity Of plain statements of awful truths.

Over 1000 sets of auto license tags have been
sold at the Redwood Gazette office since the
middle Of November. This same number is ap-
proximately the number of old tags which we
have been trying to collect. These old tags, if
made of aluminium, as the last ones were, are
worth little over five cents apiece, making a
round sum of $4,000 had they all been turned
in at the various Red Cross branches of the
county. Now it is simply up to every resident
of the county to decide whether he will help to
collect this $4,000 which will be of such great
assistance in buying materials, etc., whether
he will let it remain the junk pile where it
will be nothing but a nuisance. Be true-blue
American and collect, not only your own, but
those of all your neighbors.

IT'S UP TO US!

IN O you realize that you, too, are in this
war? Not only a spectator, but as
fighter. Not only indirectly, but direct
ly. Whether you realize it not you doing
your part of the fighting.
This you cannot fail to if you try to in
form yourself thoroughly about the war-what
it is and why and where it is being fought. If
you get these points clear in your mind there is
another very important question for you to
swer. But it should not be necessary to put that
to you, because it will come to you of itself.
Looking into your face you will ask your
self: AM FIGHTING FOR OR AGAINST MY
COUNTRY IN THIS WAR?
Your answer may trouble you. That the
safety, independence and honor of country
are at stake you know; and that you to
do your part in the struggle you also know, or
think you do. But are you doing it?
Look close and you will see that you are not
doing it. Your spirit is willing; but in your
habits, in your way of living, you not fight
ing for your country-YOU ARE FIGHTING
FOR THE ENEMY. By your lack of self denial,
by your thoughtessness, your sloth, your waste,
you are hampering the efforts of our government
and laming the arms of our soldiers at the front.
You do not mean to do this, but you are doing it
just the same.
Now, you want to be good soldier, and to
be good and faithful soldier in this holy war
for human liberty, this is what you must, and
easily can do:
Do NOT BUY ANYTHING THAT YOU DO
NOT ABSOLUTELY NEED. Do not spend any
money, except what is strictly necessary to
maintain your health and working power. La
Dor, food and material must be saved for our
fighters, and you can do your part of the saving
by abstaining from all luxuries, all that you do
not need to be healthy and strong. Luxuries do
not strengthen anybody; the contrary, they
weaken everybody. Cut them out Be Spar
ton! 1t is Spartan strength and virtue that will
win this war;
You know the needs of the government are
vast. Measured in money the needs are placed
at fifteen billion dollars for the current fiscal
year. Fifteen billion to pay for labor, food ma
terials and everything else that goes to bring
our fighting machine up to the greatest possible
strength and keep it there.
Now, you and all of US, must help the govern
ment and not hamper it. We make its task more
difficult by using anything do not need We
help it by saving all and by requiring for
ourselves only those things we cannot possibly
do without Is there any choice for loyal citi-
zen?
You want to be good, true American. You
can be it by fighting your wasteful habits.
Do it and begin now! Work all you can! Save
all you can! Use nothing, buy nothing, except
what you absolutely need, and you will do your
part in winning the war, if you have not
the opportunity to fight at the front.

"I am here only to make money! was
the reply of Sven Otto Benson, native of
Sweden, to the alien registration board at
St. Peter when he was asked why he had
not sought to become an American citizen.
He has been resident Of the United States
for three years, and now is an employe of
the state hospital for the insane.
Here is an opportunity for Governor
Burnquist to make good his declaration that
disloyal citizens should be stripped Of their
positions. Any man who will give utter
ance to the sentiments credited to Benson
is not loyal citizen.-Mankato Free Press.

Every hostess who serves a luncheon these
days should hale herself before court in which
she is judge and jury. There she will in all
probability find herself guilty of aiding and
abetting the kaiser by serving unnecessary food
and she should punish herself by fine Of not
less than the cost of the refreshments, such fine
to be paid into the Golfers Of the Red Cross.
There is no excuse-acceptable excuse, these
days for the serving of the fourth meal save as
it is done as benefit for one of the various war
funds. If such meal has been paid in your
home, pay the penalty of a self-imposed fine.
