The good women of the country are
going to do more canning this year
than ever before. Some Of the men
may be slackers iii production be-
cause they fear prices will not be

keep right on canning, because they

Many people who have visited
Camp Cody insist that the camp
should be moved to some orner loca-
ton on account of the sand and dust

The Freeman-Journal would like to
ask Congressman Frank P. Woods just
one question. Why did he say during
his first campaign for the congress
sional nomination that he considered
two terms in congress all that any
man should have unless he possessed
ability and had made an

of the allies to get into the fuss in
Siberia and has asked them if she

government has promised her in pay
ment for the trouble the German SOL
1iers have been put to in taking pos

According to reports sent out from
men at the head of our
government are now of the opinion
hat Lenine is a traitor to Russia but
hat Trotzky is loyal and patriotic,
hough misled and satiated with wrong
IDEAS. If Lenine is loyal to Russia the
German military leaders were greatly
deceived in him when they permitted

through Germany from Switzerland
DON after the revolution.
