congress were afiame for war Presi-
dent Mckinley had all he could do to
hold things steady. One night he sum-
moned to the White House the leaders
in congress and divulged the secret
that the country was short Of powder.
The next day there was an astonishing
calm in congress.
And we housewives must give heed.
1t Is our duty to sign the food cards
and help Mr.. Hoover in his great cru
SADIE to cut out waste and save food. 1t
is depressing, but it is fact that so
far our food-saving campaign is only
80 per cent efficient. The latest figures
reveal this discouraging situation that
some classes with the present boom of
wages are eating more than ever, yet

self-control in our eating Or are we go
ing to compel the government to put us
on compulsory rations?
But food has to be produced before
it can be saved, so in nutshell for the
Wisconsin farmer, patriotism means
production" 1t means increased pro-
ductiOn Of just those kinds Of foods
and supplies that will win the war. AS
in the darkest hour Of the Civil war
new marching son led our boys in blue
to victory, singing "Rally round the
flag, boys, We'll rally once again, shout
ing the battle cry Of freedom" so we
farmers must join with Fred Emerson
Brooks in his song:
Yes. We'll rally round the farm, boys.
Well rally once again,
Shouting the battle cry Of Feed EN-.
We've got the ships and money,
And the best Of fighting men,
Shouting the battle cry of Feed EN-.
Yes, am glad the man in the street
Is talking-let him talk-for he is find
ing out that not the city grocer but the
farmer is the man who feeds him.
However, neither the men in the street
nor the daily papers, nor the maya
zines are making our national food
program. Dean Russell, Dean Daven-
port, Dana Durand. and scores of 9th
ers, whom we have known and trusted
for years, as the wisest leaders in
American agriculture, have been sum-
moned to sit at the council table in
Washington.
The farmers glory and his danger
lies in his individualism, his independ-
ence, his intolerance of dictation. He
is too aloof, too solitary keeping step
is not one of his specialties. For 200
years there has been an effort to har-
ness up the farmers and get them to
pull together. and still we are. just In
the A B C's of it. AS the Scotch say
He'll gang his ain gait"
Up in our part of the state where
timber is plenty we still have the old
fashioned barn raising. When my hus-
band got back from his first raising,
said, "How did it go?" ooh, fine" said
he, there were so of US farmers there
and 70 Of them were bossing the Job all
at once" But you know and I know
there cannot be 70 different programs
for the nations food. Fifty-seven kinds
of pickles may do, but 81 kinds of food
programs are just Sc kinds too many
to win.

CAMP AIGN BEGUN FOR
DRY AMENDMENT

The work of organizing Marshall
county for the coming statewide pro-
hibition contest was begun here Il few
days ago. \ committee was selected to
begin the work of organizing" the
county. Prof. {. E. SjOStran,l. is chair
man. and Miss Elizabeth Rankin is sec
rotary. and J. 2. MattSon is chairman of
publicity. and Hans Swanson TreaSur-
err.
The Minnesota Dry Federation,
which will have charge of the state
wide contest. will assist in the work I'D
here. The Dry Federation is composed
Of twelve statewide organizations. as
well as local organizations which are
cooperating with it in various ways.
In some quarters it is thought we
are going to have all easy time putting
this state dry next November" says
Senator Richard Jones. campaign man
ager for the Minnesota Dry Federation,
in a communication. outlining the fed
eration'S plans. But twenty Years ago
the liquor interests fixed our state
constitution. Mr.. W. ". Dunn then a
member of the house of representatives
introduced a measure. which finally
passed both houses. providing that the
Minnesota constitution could not be
amended except by a majority of all
those voting at the election. As a con-
sequence everybody who goes to the
ballot box and votes at all. and fails
to vote on the amendment. is counted
exactly as though he had voted against
that amendment.
In 1914 the initiative and referen-
dunn amendment was submitted by the
legislature to the people and altho it
received 16S.O0O affirmative and only
Al 900 negative votes it failed of adop-
ton because it did not receive major
ity of all votes cast at the election
1t was admitted by Mr.. Dunn on the
floor of the house in 1897 that this
vicious provision was advocated by
himself and his associates in order to
head off prohibition at some future
time. Mr.. Dunn is now member of
the Minnesota Senate He is also Vice
President and attorney of the Hamm
Brewing Co.
Under this unfair method of amend
ment the state has never yet carried an
amendment where there has been or
ganizd opposition"
