Faces Deportation

Dickinson, N. D., April 22-LeO
Erandl, an Austrian alien, who has
made this section of the state his
home large part of the time since
tile entry Of the United States in the
war, is confined in the county Jail to-
day awaiting the arrival of the Uni
ted States marshal. Brandt was ar
rested late Tuesday evening at the
Herman Knudes farm where he was
working as a painter. He is held on
charges OF violation of the espionage
:,ct, which, il proven, may land him i'll
an internment camp and deportation
after the was is over.
Brandt has been spreading sedition
among the foreign population in this
vicinity for some time, and several
complaints were filed against him.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of Sheriff Hartung, who de-
cided to investigate Meeting Brandt
Tuesday night the conversation
driftcd to the war and Sheriff Hart
lung was startled to hear the man
say, "To He'll with the United States
president, l wouldn't help this coun-
try in the war for | have legacy to
get in Austria" The ma nwas vio-
lent in his demonstrations and the
sheriff lost not time in placing him
under arrest At the county Jail to-
day the man maintains stolid in
difference as to the disposition of his
case. ..., .,s....-.. ...'
1t is, understood Brandt has wife
and several children in Austria and
expects to 60 back to his native land
as soon as he has the opportunity.
He is a man about forty years of age
and those who have seen him declare
he is not quite as ignorant as he pro-
fesses. 1t is possible that Sheriff
I!artung has captured very danger

investigated thoroughly. Advices have
been sent to Attorney General LANCER.

pe1.

When the menace TO our national
existence which ] described in my
prscsding article first set me at work
seeking a remedy ! realized that the
cru2 VI the problem lay in the health
OF our babies
Special study and an intimate in
tarest in farm and garden crops had
long since taught me that everything
depends upon the care OF the young
plant. If the nursery is good-if the
seed has the right start, it the tender
young plant is given proper care-a
sturdy crop is sure under reasonable
conditions as to soil and climate. The
stock raiser will tell you the same
thing The prenatal period. and the
first four or five months Of the ecalf's
life after birth. determine the whole
future; and the best aftercare and at
1ention will fail to make a good beast
out OF one that has been badly, treat
ed after birth. But with a healthy
Well-cared for young animal you are
sure OF tit and valuable member of
the herd-such animals can fend for
themselves for the rest of their lives
and neither defect of growth nor dis
ease will be feared. r.. i /
The same thing is true Of :babies.
Give them, the right start and the rest
is ractfcally certain. But the knowl-
edge which the world was becoming
wise enough to apply to agriculture
and stock raising had hardly been ap-
piled at all In connection with this
most valuable crop In the world-our
babies. 49, 70
When about IL years ago began
publicly to proclaim these truths
throughout New Zealand was often
met with the assertion that we need
not take the situation 80 seriously
in our country. We already had one
of the lowest child death rates In the
world Let other countries where in.
FAINT mortality was high take up the
problem, / was told: 1t need not
worry US: here. But, i answered, no
child death rate can be too low, and
! added that any death rate at all over
3 per cent - TOO high. 49,.
And my pies was that a widely diff
fused knowledge and recognition Of
infant requirements and maternal du-
ties would save our country at least
one life Q day. This figure has PROV
ed to be much under the mark. But
out OF New zealand,s then population

town work they could leave for few

being any the worse. And l said to
myself, Our farm labor is right here

can solve our farmlabOr problem
"rhe county agent is making a sur
yey OF the county, finding out from
each and every farmer just how many
hands he will need ~and when he will
need them. went to see the sheriff
this morning and he said the time has
passed when loafers will be tolerated
in this county. He told me the Of
iicers were going to see that every
aole.bodied man goes to work or goes
to Jail. Now the next thing Is for you
town business men to arrange things
so your employees who have worked
on farms can come cut to the. farms
of this county as they are needed.
Some of the stores may have to close
for a few days each week, or perhaps
for week at time during the rush.
If they all close every one has an
even break. No one gains any bust.
ness and no one loses any. Now that's
the only way we can get labor to pro.
duce food crops and help win the war.

WHERE BABIES NEVER DIE
GIVE THEM RIGHT START
AND REST IS CERTAIN

! Gradually the most able and earnest
people OF the community rallied to
our cause Lord and Lady Plunket,
Lord Plunkel then being governor Of
| New Zealand lent us their hearty
support, issuing a pamphlet in which
/ they appealed to all classes to join in
! the sOciety's work for the sake OF
women and children, for the advance
! ment of the Dominion, and for the
honor of the empire
! Thus our Society for the Health OF
Women and Children was launched.
Lady plunket identified herself with
the cause in the most whole hearted
and practical way, giving lectures,
demonstrate ions, and personal help to
mothers and babies. In appreciation
OF her work the nurses Of the society
are still known as "l'lunket nurses
and the short title Of our Royal New
Zealand Health of WomSn and Child,
! rem is simply the "Plunket Society,"
From the start it was essentially a
volunteer organization, but the So
ciety soon received the cordial sup
port OF the government and of the
municipalities who, for instance,
granted US the use of rooms in public
buildings for our meetings and for
the use OF our nurses. The govern.
ment also saw that they had free pass
age over the railways and street car
lines. AS a government official as
we'll as president of the society
served as q sort of inspector general,
linking, the two together In rec0g-
milton OF the society's vital services to
the community, the government soon
logan to grant it small subsidies to-
wards the salaries and expenses OF the
nurses, and in the course Of the last
10 years these subsidies have grown
from a modest % per cent on the vol
untee!. subscriptions to the present
rate OF 100 per cent-Or in United
States currency to Sc OF subsidy for
every S. raised by voluntary sub
scription.
Thus it will be seent that our first
and most necessary step in New Lea-
lands historic baby saving campaign
consisted in attaining the intimate
and closest cooperation OF all classes
in the community and OF the govern
ment
