Fighting and bombing operations of
the aviators were extraordinarily nu-
merous and exciting last week. Many
machines on both sides were brought
down, but the Huns were by far the
greater sufferers. Among the noted
air men lost was Major Raoul Lufbery,
the American, who jumped from his
blazing machine and was killed. Other
American a%viators were very active
and many of them gained new laurels.

Don't Take Any
Chances

A battery may seem to be
doing its job nearly as well
as usual-may turn the en-
CINE over strongly enough to
"get by"-may supply
enough current for light
may produce a fairly hot
spark-and may go on doing
so right up to the point WHERE
the spark of life goes out.
If you don t know that your
battery's in good health you're
taking chances.
Drop in at the Service Station
for ten minutes and let US test
your battery.
And ask about the Still Bet
ter Willard = the only battery
with the Bone Dry" principle
that is your absolute assurance
of getting a battery as new as
the day it left the factory.

The youngest purchaser of
thrift stamps in this locality,
and no doubt one of the young
est in tho state, is Master Geo.
Glenn Rogers, aged 8, of Ken
ma, who recently bought ten
dollars worth of war savings
certificates and two dollars
worth of thrift stamps The
money which the young man
has been saving for a long time,
is the results cf contributions

no doubt he will look back on
this transaction as a judicious
investment, and as a fitting
stepping stone to a successful

THE GIFT

Through many hours stitched on these small
seams,
NV mother-heart DER filled with brooding dreams
And all these little clothes to me are dear
Keeping myriad memories of baby clear,
Such memories as loving mothers find.
Are gold with which life's later clouds are lined.
DR. rs s,sssssssssteee -@ss
This linen dress embroidered with such care
The day she wore it first she looked SO fair
And dainty, with the wonder in her eyes
That grew from baby-interest and surprise,
AS solemnly she watched the photo-man
Perform as only photo-p people can.
This tiny hood, with crochet-hook and thread,
Was fashioned lovingly to fit her downy head
These booties are the very ones she wore.
When first she slowly crept along the floor;
And how these small wool shirts, so soft and
warm,
Were wont to hug her dimpled baby form.
These and all the rest I've treasured long,
Pricing every one as mine, and thought no wrong
In keeping them, but now, from DER the sea
Unnumbered mother-voces, calling me,
Are pleading for our unused clothing here,
That they may dress the babes they hold so
dear.
So, little unused garments you must go;
I cannot keep you now, for well I know
You all are needed there across the sea
Where live the weary mothers, calling me,
And I should not deserve a mothers name,
If, knowing this, keep you just the same.
And, carefully, I'll mend each rent that's torn,
And darn each little place that may be worn,
Sew all the missing buttons on each one,
Nor rest until the willing task is done,
And then, with just one sigh, they would forgive,
I'll send you where the Belgian mothers live.

THE BROAD YELLOW STREAK

One Of the noteworthy exhibitions
of supreme cowardice is seen in the
action of a number of men, particu-
larly in the northern part of the
state, who have renowned their first
citizenship papers in order to avoid
military service. By so doing they
thwart being drafted into service and
also by so doing they show the won
derfully large streak of yellow with
which they are endowed. They are
willing to become citizens of this
country in order to enjoy its protec-
ton in time of peace and make
competency, but they are not willing
to become citizens when it is apt to
cost them a sacrifice of any kind.
Anyone who will do this thing de-
serves the everlasting contempt and
of a patriotic people,
and furthermore should not be allow
ed to remain in this country. That

A DISGRACE.
(By Gunnar Bjornson).

WYE are told that in an adjourning coun-
M ty there was, last week, conducted the
funeral Of American soldier at which
not a word Of English spoken.
The whole service from beginning to end, was
conducted in the German Language.
1t is difficult to believe that there any
people so void of the sense of what is appro-
pirate that they would at time like this, con-
duct the last services the remains of an
American soldier, in any language but the Ian
guage of his country-but that there should be
those who so fly in the face Of decency that
they would use, for such an occasion, the Ger
man language passes understanding.
The language that is spoken by the men who
have killed and outraged innocent women and
childen for four years, the language in which
the orders to sink ships carrying men, women,
and children of neutral countries have been is
sued, the language il which the diabolica1
schemes of the German war-lords have been
Matched, the language of the Kaiser who is re-
sponsible for the murder of more human beings
for the destruction of more property, for more
sorrow and suffering than has been brought upon
the earth by any one agency, is not the language
with which to bury an American soldier
The language that has been outlawed in some
of our neighboring states is not the language
in which I'd consign the soldier boys of Mime
sofa to their last resting place.
decent regard for the feelings of men should
dictate to these German speaking people and
their pastors that it will not do to use the Ian
guage of the man-eati1g Huns over the collins
that contain the remains of American soldiers
The fact that the soldier boy, at the funeral
referred to, was of Germanic origin, and the fact
that the sermon may have been patriotic, makes
no difference, the German language has outlived
its usefulness in America and to employ it at
the funeral of one who has laid down his life
in the service of his country, against the German
Beast, is an insult to every patriotic citizen

SAY SOMETHING GOOD

Pick out the folks you like the least and watch
'em for while,
They never waste kindly word, they never waste
a smile.
They criticize their fellowmen at every chance
they get,
They've never found a human just to suit their
fancy yet.
From them I guess you'd learn some things if
they were pointed out,
Some things that everyone of us should know
lot about.
When someone "knocks" a brother, pass around
the loving cup,
Say something good about him, if you have to
make it up.

United War Fund a percentage Of your bond al
lotment- one years interest on your
bond purchase If you are not one OF those who
purchased bonds you will be asked to give as
freely as you can to this Fund which is the
greatest gift the American government has ask
ed since the opening of the war-$170, 500, O0O-
every cent of it to be used in the camps and at
the front for the welfare and comfort Of the
boys, or for the welfare of the thousands of
girls who are doing mems work in the munition
factories and elsewhere where men have been
liberated to go to the front. Folks, it is the big
gest opportunity we people have ever had to
show the boys that we have the same unselfish
love of them that they are showing for us. Let
us give to the limit-not because we are asked
to, not because we are expected to, but because
we WANT to-because in this way can stretch
a friendly hand across the intervening miles,
clasp warmly the hand Of our own soldier boy and

Therefore l will work,
I will save,
I will sacrifice,
will endure,
will fight cheerfully and do my utmost
as if the whole issue Of the struggle depended
on me alone.
Treptow had called this "My Pledge" and
thereto he had subscribed his name.
The pledge Of Private Treptow should be the
pledge of every soldier il the fighting front,
every soldier in the ranks of industrial produc-
ton, every soldier in the homes of America: II
will do my utmost if the whole issue of the
struggle depended upon me alone.
What would be the issue Of the struggle if it
depended alone upon those who have sneaked
their self-indulgenca under cover in defiance of
foods saving rules; upon those who have hogged
sugar and wheat whenever they found it possible
upon those who have bought bond" when they
could without real hardship have bought many
bonds, upon those who have sacrificed as little
as they could get away with instead Of doing
their utmost?
Private Treptow, who dedicated himself to
this holy pledge, gave his life for his country.
We are fighting this war to create world
in which heroes like Private Treptow can LIVE
for their country, and will not have to die for it.

doing-to that end?-Duluth Herald.
