OH! MIR. FRAZIER.

Mr. Townley's daily newspaper at Fargo anent
the recent separation of Thomas Allan Box from
the state treasury, makes Mr.. Townley's governor
of North Dakota say: ~
"No change has been made in Mr.. Box's
relation to the council of defense, EXCEPT
THAT HE HAS BEEN PLACED ON A PER-
DIEM SALARY ON THE SAME BASIS AS
BEFORE"
a Read it backwards, stand it on it's head and read
it crosswise read it up or read it down, and still
we find Mr.. Frazier saying that the only change
that has been made is that no change has been
made.
Then we are to believe that Mr.. Box still has the
privilege of drawing 81 per day for seven days
week as payment for services to the state couR-
Gil of defense. ~ - ~"-
The trainers Of the council of defense act decreed
that the secretary should be paid only when actu-
ally on the job Mr.. Box has actually been on the
job as secretary of the council Of defense very
little Still he has been paid for every day, incud-
ing Sunday as the records in the state treasurers
office show.
Now Mr. Frazier hastily informs us that No
change has been made in Mr.. Box's relation to the
council of defense, except that he has been placed
on per diem salary on the same basis as before," "
so we must conclude that although the executive
committee, on motion of Mr.. LANCER DID pass a
resolution decreeing that the services of Mr. Box
should be used and paid for henceforth only at the
direction of the executive committee, someone
higher up, presumably Mr.. Townley, has reunited
Mr.. Box and the public purse, and that Mr.. Box's
daily pension of 81 will continue to flow into his
capacious pockets, even though another man is
doing Mr.. Box's work and receiving therefore q
very substantial stipend in addition to the title Of
executive secretary.
As = matter of fact, Mr.. Frazier should COM
mend rather than contradict the good work done
by the executive committee Of the council Of de-
fenuse Mr. Box's expense accounts became too
expensive for body Of even such well
known. liberal views. Mr.. LANCER never had per-
sonally cared for Mr.. Box who was not Mr..
Laneers choice for the secretaryship, and when

TO sieze the weapon neares. 10 hand to

fighting a just cause, lifts US up with
an inspiration TO endure with a martyrs

In the ecstasy oil sublime devotion 10
the beautiful ideal we may fail to think
Of the thrice armed foe that bars the
way to that ideal. Let US remember
this. All that the tiger respects is the
driving power OF his opponent, not the
fine justice that opponent stands for.
There is just the possibility that il we
are not careful we may Iail to under
stand the practical needs Of the case.
The kaiser knows exactly what he wants
and how to get it. We know what We
want but so far we have shown our
selves hopelessly unable to prepare 10

the duty Of the most humble American
to add the weight Of his purpose to see
that the president in the great hour Of
his trial shall not be a victim Of the
limitations imposed by the very great
ness Of his character. Particularly is
there danger that he may not be able
10 surround himself with the very best
and most efficient men needed to turn
the great organizations Of this country
to war purposes. The recent invesii.
cations in Congress seem TO indicate
that we have no, had in responsible
places men able 10 achieve the great

George, 1t was his relentless energy,
the driving power Of bis resolve that
turned the tight little island overnight
into the greatest arsenal in the world
with the result that today England pre-
sents TO the kaiser a wall Of steel against

termined resolve Of every American
citizen back up the sublime ideals Of
our president to the end that this
nation go forth fully armed to make
those ideals sure,

his parents settled near Yellville, Ark.

To this union fourteen children were
born, Of whom ten sons and two daugh-
tiers survive him. His vile died about
ten years ago, and year or two later
he married Mrs. Berthe Vaughan, Of
Omaha, Ark, who survives him.
Mr.. Parnell stayed in Arkansas, en-
gagged principally in farming, until
1895, when he came to Kirbyville,
in this county, and established a gen

According to Prediction

The Federal Farm Loan system finds
itself in straits much earlier than any
Of its critics had anticipated. Con-
fronted with falling market for its own
bonds and lacking the services oil the
underwriting syndicate which had al
first come to its relief, the Board has,
nevertheless, gone ahead making en-
gagements TO furnish money 10 farmers
without knowing where the funds were
to come from. In this plight, the
natural haven Of refuge Tor a perplexed
governmental institution is Congress;
and TO Congress the Board has gone,
asking that the government shall buy
its bonds at the tune Of hundred mil
lion year to enable it to make good
its word to the farmers to whom loans
have been promised. The Farm Loan
Board has followed the historic example
OF Daniel Webster in drawing his will.
Friends having promised the great
statesman sums Of money, he took
pains TO make bequests in equally
large amounts.

TIrttt Stampl

In times war
They boz us for
The necessary cash,
To land upon
The warlke Hun
And deal the fatal smash.
And it is right
To win the fight
We've got TO have the dough,
And those who stay
Will have to pay
For those who have to 60.
So buy Thrift Stamps
And put the clamps
Upon the German horde;
We'll surely win
Il you kick in
Buy all you can afford
We have no chance
To 60 to France
And help the boys to win;
But we are proud
To be allowed
Our money to chip in,
The boys who fight
Have every right
To look to US to pay;
They bear the brunt,
So do your stunt,
Nv And buy Thrift Stamps today. ~

BEGUN ON

Campaign TO XIII or Growth Begun
Here Under U. s. Bureau
Of Agriculture and
Students,

Keokuk is to have new kind Of
tag day. F. J. Snider, Of the United
States bureau OF agriculture, is here
to conduct the campaign, which takes
rather q novel turn.
It spells war this time, not against
the kaiser but against what has been
characterized as a real Kaiser ally"
the common barberry bush. 1t is in
imical to other plant life. Every such
bush that can be found in Keokuk or
vicinity win be decorated with big
tag on which are these words:
"This barbery bush is kaiser
ally. Its owner has been requested
by the Iowa council of defense and
the U. S. government to remove it
Immediately"
Mr.. Snider has secured the CO
operation OF the classes in biology and
agriculture at the high school,
Today he conducted these classes
about the city to find and report the
barberry bushes. with the suggestion
that these be dug up and burned. Help
of the Boy Scouts will also be solic-
tied in the work.
