So The PeopIe Nav Know.

AT last Col. Theodore Roose-
welt is out in the open-all his
camoufiage torn away, all his
fervid protests of patriotism
swept away by his desire to i'm
plant in the hearts of people of
the United States a distrust of
President Wilson.
In today's Kansas City Star,
which he chose months ago as
the instrument through which
he would begin his campaign for
the presidency, he, for the first
time, accuses President Wilson
Of being responsible for a con-
dition in army and training
camps which, if true, were well
calculated to plant fear in the
heart. of every mother and faith
er who has a son in khaki, to
arouse in every cantoment a
spirit of unreast and rebellion.
By suggestion he would have
the people believe that every
camp is a pestilential spot, every
youth stricken with disease, ev-
cry boy unclothed, every soldier
sent to Europe unarmed.
Il do not dwell on these facts
to blame anybody" is his vain
effort to cover up the real pur-
pose of his reiteration of charg-
es in which he names President
Wilson-a purpose so thinly
yelled that all may read, a pur-
pose to discredit every action of
the president, even though he
weaken the forces of this nation
and divide the people into hostile
camps.
His charges are but variations
of every German lie that has
been spread in this country
since war was declared.
That Col. Roosevelt chooses
for the organ of distribution of
his propaganda of distrust of
the president, of disruption of
national spirit, of disorganiza-
ton of the nations loyalty, a pa
r whose general manager was v.

STACKER JUMPS
FROM CAR WINDOW
Train Going Speed OF 35 to 40
Miles Per Honr.-Occurred
One Mile North of Askoy.

What would have resulted fa-
tally perhaps % times out Of 100
took place Wednesday forenoon
when a young man who gave his
name as Meyer. jumped from a
car window on the Great North
ern train. about one, mile north
of Askov. The train was going
a speed of between 35 and 40
miles per hour. The young man
still lives, is conscious and it ap-
pears that he may yet have a
chance to fight the Huns. When
it was noticed that he had
jumped thru the window the
train was brought to a stop,
backed up and he was picked up
and taken on to Sandstone where
DIR. Cowan attended him. He
had some bad scalp wounds. ne
cessitating several stitches, his
hands we're lacerated and he was
more or less bruised all over
the body. However. it appears
that no bones are broken.
Meyer was a Stacker and had
been rounded up in Itasca coun-
ty. being in Jail at Grand Rapids.
According to reports. he was be-
ing taken to Fort Smelling to-
gether with 10 other slackcrs.
He is now lodged in the village
lookup at Sandstone.
If Meyer is as tough as II ap-
pears, it is q shame he is not al
ready over in France in the first
line trenches. Evidently he was
trying to commit suicide.

To the Patrons Of Independent
District No. II.

1t is planned to open school on
August 26. That is earlier than
usual. but the last week in Aug
ust is not so busy time as a week
IN May next spring. Four routes
will begin transportation on that
date, others will be put on later.
No time schedule will be sent
you before school opens as the
drivers will make their own. The
rate will be about the same as
last year, four miles out begin
about 500 o'clock. At the close
of the first two weeks the driv-
ers will submit their schedule to
the principal and soon thereafter
you will be sent a copy. Evi-
IDENTIFY a potato vacation will be
arranged for when the proper
season arrives.
A change has been made in the
beginning class this year, Much
OF the work given that class in
previous years has been more or
less in the nature of kindergar-
ten work. Due to increased en-
rollment the so-called Begin
ners Class will be dropped and
those beginning this fall will do
the straight first grade work. As
a result of this arrangement no
pupil will be permitted to enter
who has not reached six years of
age on October L, 1918. the be-
ginning of the new census year.
No entering class will be organ
lied in the spring.
Those parents desiring excuses
for pupils fourteen years and
over should make application at
once that this can be arranged
before school opens.
Yours for good school year,
F. Clarey Nielsen.
