ny Fish Do Not Travel Far.

i!2l;.ls Of both land and sea are
mined within rather narrow limits
Of pressure. In his book on the North
Se. fisheries, Neal Green shows that
the North sea fishes are isolat-
ed in their own little world,
for they cannot migrate TO the At
lantic depths. and, with few
such exceptions as the eel, deep
sea fishes cannot enter shallow wa
tiers. Foraging for food is the flsh's
occupation. The North sea fishes will
siot descend into the ocean because
there is no food to attract, their eyes
re not adapted to the darkness, and
The pressure of the water is greater
tbsn ordinary fish can endure. In the
GsH,fis there are no seasonal changes,
10 currents. Everything is uniform,
sfagnant, black. and the only fishes
f,i.t can see are those specially en-
G9wed with enormous eyes to per-
cciSa the phosphorescent glow of 9TH
eTs of their kind. IF they could rise
TO the conditions of the North sea,
these deep sea dwellers would be
HELPLESS, if not destroyed by the re-
lease from external pressure.

NOVELIST HAD HIS REVENGE
Dumas Worked With subtlety, but

When Alexandra Dumas, the French
novelist, was a young man, he was
PREVIOUSLY insulted by man whom he
had regarded as his friend.
Everyone expected him to punish the
offender severely, but instead he began
'ooking upon him with more consider.
ition and apparent friendliness than
re had ever shown before.
At length, three years later, when
he erstwhile friend was to be married
the novelist was asked to serve as best
nan, and did so. When the ceremony
vas over and the guests were leavina
someone remarked to Dumas: II have

MESSAGE OF The
GREAT United WAR
DRIVE ron WOMEN

For the first time in the history Of
this nation, women Of every religious
creed have been called upon to stand
united in one great non-sectarian
cause
The Government has just sanctioned
q United War Drive for seven differ
ent organizations the Young Mems
Christian Association. the Young Wo-
mems Christian Association, the Ma
tional Catholic War Council (knights
Of Columbus), the Jewish Welfare
Board, the War Camp Community the
American Library Association, and the
Salvation Army.
One hundred and, seventy million
five hundred thousand dollars is the
goal set for the campaign. 1t is the
largest single gift ever asked of the
American people and the women OF
America have heard the call.
Already there Is springing up a new
comradeship among the women Of this
country, a new determination to stand
together to win the war
What do creeds matter or dogmas
when sons brothers aud husbands are
in khaki on the fields Of France?
Women of America have caught the
fire of the spirit of women over

Women met in Paris last month--one
message was sent back to the United
States:
"All the womanhood of the Allied
I'D T1r -tfetf
Think victory, talk victory, believe VIC
terry"
And back of this great united force
of women from the far ends of the
earth there is now standing another
unified army-the woman power Of
America.
Soon we shall see new thing-wo-
men who know in their hearts that
democracy is as much a part of wo-
mans world as it is of a mans world,
and that 1t is just as surely a woman's
Job TO make democracy safe for the
world as it is a mans job to make the
world safe for democracy
Women of every religious creed are
standing new for one goal-Nictory.
To that end the only. woman's organ
ization in the great United War Drive
the Y. W c. A-has sent ont a Chal-
lenge to the women to Carry On-for
victory.
1t is no longer question of when
will the war end?" but "When will we
have victory"
The women of America have under
stood.

no doubt but what their war COM
mission would have found it neces-
sary to institute just as radical rul
ings as have been instituted in Min
nesota by our Safety Commission.
A good many people don't appear
to get It through their heads that
this is war time. A state safety COM
mission is created for the public wei
fare. 1t is delegated with powers
to make such rules and institute such
orders as will best serve the Gov
eminent of the United States in its
successful prosecution of the war. To
fly in the face of these war boards,
to heap abuse and vituperation upon
it's members because of unimportant
personal inconvenience is not only
unbecoming a good citizen at this
time, but unpatriotic as well.
Without the State Public Safety
Commission and without governor
with a wartime spinal column to
guard against the wiles of the kaiser
sympathizers, it is safe to say that
Minnesota today would be an unsafe
place to live in. The very fact that
the Commission is so roundly abused
is ample proof of this statement.
It's the Socialists, pro-Huns,
Townleyites and others in the state
who at first sought to make political
capital out of anti-war antagonists
thinking they were in the majority
who are today trying to make pol
itics by abusing the State Public
Safety Commission because the Com
mission is standing back of the Gov
eminent.
Taking into account the sacrifices
of the American boys in France, the
man II this country-better than
5000 miles from the hell of war
who can find nothing better to do
than abuse those at home who are
unselfishly laboring to aid their
Government is simply stabbing the
boys in the back.-Sherburn Herald.

A WAR TIME NEED

We hear so much about the State
Public Safety Commission these days.
It's the whine of Socialists, liquor
dealers and absolute pro-Huns. They
tell us the Commission is the most
autocratic body in the country. They
want to konw why Minnesota is the
only state in the union having a
war board. Naturally a lot of peo-
pie who never read enough to learn
differently believe all that. The fact
of the matter is that we have only
to step across the line into Iowa to
have all this idle chatter refuted.
Not Only has Iowa War Commits
sion, but it has a governor who has
a spinal column. Do you know that
the governor of that state passed
an order forbidding the use of all
foreign language, even IN churches :?
That's fact. They have no saloons
there. If they had them, there is
