RESOLUTIONS PASSED

The county war council met in
regular weekly session last Tuesday
morning and passed the following
resolution:
whereas, the attention of the War
Service Council of Audubon County
erous stock companies in process of
organization within Iowa and other
States, have been taking subscrip-
ton for their stock, settlement beins
made by cash, promissory note. or
otherwise; and
Whereas, these companies have as
an inducement to prospective pur-
chasers taken Liberty Bonds as part
payment, and in some instances have
agreed to take bonds of future is
sues, and
Whereas. the United States Treas
ury Department has publicly con-
demned this practice as calculated to
disturb the value of the Liberty
Bonds on the open market. and to
injure the sale of future subscrip-
tons; now therefore.
BE 1T RESOLVED, that we public
ly condemn the practice of selling or
trading Liberty Bonds. except in cases
of necessity, the government having
asked each person to retain the own
ership of his bonds during the con-
tinuance of the war; and
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that the practice OF selling stock in
new concerns in process of organiza-
ton. either for cash. note. or by TAX
ing Liberty Bonds in part payment,
should during the continuance of the
present war be discouraged and con-
demned. That the result is to alb
sorb the resources OF the commun-
ity which should be used in the pur-
chase of future issues of government
bonds.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that from and after this date any
person or corporation desiring to sell
by personal solicitation within this
county any stock in new concerns in
process of formation, shall first pre-
sent to this Council evidence of the
merits of said corporation and the
necessity for its organization, and OBJ
tain the consent and approval of said
Council

ALL NOT LOST IN RUSSIA

The indemnity of five billion rub
les which Germany imposed on Rus
STA and which Lenine and Trotzky
willingly agreed 10 pay is not likely
to be collected very soon, even IL the
war is prolonged. Under their rule
the country has been reduced to des-
titution. particularly in its product
i've and tax paying forces, and the
pledge becomes merely scrap Of
paper. Then it is not possible for
that anarchisic mob to hand over to
Germany many men to help fight her
battles on the western front or any
where else. 1t is true that in the
Baltic provinces there has long been
ruling class composed of German
sympathizers, but the number was
small and made up of an aristocra-
cy which depended on the peasants
to do all the fighting. That class
have not and will not go to the
western front where they are likely
to endanger their lives.
With the White Sea and Trans
Siberian railroad in the hands of the
Czecho-Slavis, an allied expedition
airy force at VladivostOck composed
of English, japanese and American
troops ard the occupation of Ar
changed by allied troops. Lenine.
Trotzky and their Soviets are cut off
from all the rest of the world except
Germany and Turkey And with
the rest of the world offering every
sort of assistance to establish order
and prosperity it is not probable
that even the peasants will willing
ly continue on the road to starva-
ton and death. All is not lost in
Russia. There is very long dis
lance between what Lenine sold to
Germany and the delivery of the
goods

GOVERNOR EXPLAINS
LANGUAGE SITUATION

Governor Harding recently sub
mitted to the county councils of
national defense anotacr letter with
reference to the enforcement of his
language proclamation. He states
that it is not his desIre t. prosecute
any person for violation of his langu-
age proclamation. which was issued
as a rule of action that followed in
spirit will prevent serious local diff
ferences from looming up in many
localities in this state. The Cover
nor urges that persons who can
speak the English language at this
time should refrain from using a
foreign language in order to prevent
strife and contention among their
neighbors and friends. In case
there are those who cannot success
fully use the r!nglish language, the
Governor suggests that those who
a;e not too Old are furnished an OPP
portunity to learn English under
Chapter 81, Acts of the 37th Gener-
al Assembly, which provides for
night schools at public expense. He
asks officials to be patient and not
hurry into prosecution. Punish
ment. he says. must not be visited
upon the innocent. He admits that
in the language matter we are break
ing new ground. While he believes
that compliance could be obtained
by prosecution lie suggests that hab-
its or customs should rather be
changed by education and leader
ship than by prosecution. While
the violation of proclamation is
sued by on executive does not carry
a penalty he notes that a proclama-
ton in harmony with existing sta
tues which do carry violation PEN
atty is susceptible of enforcement.
While he is quite satisfied that no
condition will arise in this state
where it will be necessary to go to
the extent of punishment and sure
ly not until leadership and educa-
ton have first failed, he says that
if such condition does not arise
and the statues of the state are vio-
lated. then of course, prosecution
should follow. 1t is his judgment
that Chapter 373, Acts of the 37th
General Assembly, is quite sweeping
in its provisions. and while not dir
ectly aimed at the use of a foreign
language, it might easily be so if a
situation should arise where those
who persist in the using of langu-
age do so to stir up a strife or con-
tention or to incite. abet, promote
or encourage hostility to the govern
ment of the state or nation. In
conclusion the Governor again states
that what We are aiming at is the
htilHinO of nnh1in Snntip1ant n p
der to reduce to minimum the use
of foreign languages and not prose-
cution. The outcome of the mat
ter he believes will be largely re-
duced opportunity to scatter enemy
propaganda, the promotion of peace
and harmony IL the c1r.munties ana
the more rapid Americanization Of

THREE SENATOR'S NUIsANCEs

President Wilson has written a
letter to a friend in Mississippi tell
ing him that the reelection of Sen
ator Vardaman would mean a repu-
diation of the Wilson administration
He has written the same kind Of
letter to a friend in Georgia regard
ing the reelection of Senator Hart
wick. Both Vardaman and Hartwick
have been to say the least. easy-gO-
ing in their patriotism. Both are
democrats. The Wilson letters will
probably result in their defeat. We
suggest that the president write a
letter to some friend in Illinois re-
questing the defeat of Senator Lewis
Lewis is a Wilson man and he does
not have good judgement. He talks
loosely. He never understands the
real merit of any situation. He has
been known to come away from the
White House and talk idly about
public questions, leading the people
to understand that he talked for the
administration He has done the
administrator more harm than eth
er Vardaman or Hartwick. But Sem
ator Lewis has gone to the other
side of the ocean and will come back
a shouting patriot, telling about his
interviews with the President of
France Marshal Joffre Marshal FOch
and General Pershing. 1t would be
hard to describe the qualities which
would make man bigger nuisance
thon is Senator j. Ham Lewis.

win the war Not the other fellow.
but we, ourselves. If we are asked
by the man higher up to do certain
things to help win the war we should
not complain or grumble but get busy
and do it. Right now the import
ant question is mot how MUCH
sugar can we buy. but how MUCH We
can get along without" For the
! following reasons given out by the
food administration, we are asked
to use as little sugar as possible.
l. To honOrably equafize the
limited sugar supply among all who
sit at our common table.
2. To give our soldiers and the
allied armies the sugar they require
for the quick energy and the super
human endurance necessary for
fighters.
3. To give the people of Eng
land two pounds month.
4. To give the people of France
l II pounds a month.
5. To give the people of Italy
one pound a month.
There is only a limited amount of
sugar available until the next crop.
We cannot increase the amount we
must divide it honestly.
We are now with the sugar situa-
ton similar to what We were with
the flour few months ago. We ap-
pealed to the patriotism of the peo-
pie then and will do the same with
the sugar situation. There is a
sugar shortage and the only way we
can meet and still send what the
soldiers must have We will have to
do without ourselves. 1t will no
doubt be little sacrifice on our part
but none of us will be injured. But
we will surely be injured if we are
not able to send the food to the SOL
diers and keep up their fighting
strength. Two pounds per person
per month is the amount allowed
at present for human consumption.
There is very little sugar for can
ming, all the merchants selling over
their allotment prior to this time
have no sugar to sell.
The apples are not ready now for
canning and sugar cannot be procur-
ed, dry them. Do not allow any
thing in the food line to go to waste.
There is some way to save all of it.
II you do not know how to handle a
particular fruit to be sure and save
it call up Mis- Alice Cuthbert, home
demonstration or Miss Lorraine Ora
ham who has charge of the home
economics department of our Audi
bon High School. Either one of them
will be able to help you out of some
perplexing situation. SAVE ALL

The East can ride as well as the West. This fact, noI generally con ceded, is ably demonstrated by Jack Gardner in his c'lrrent Essanay- Western picture. "Ihe Range Boss. !" to be seen at the Palace theatre Sunday
 Reports from the California stu dio have it that the professional , cowboys present were shaken with suppressed laughter when Director W. S NanDyke informed Mr. Card ner his role in .'The Range Boss" was to be that of cowboy Now a cowboy, naturally, must be a hard rider. That is what tickled the professionals.
