Hold Famed Battlefield.


Grand Headquarters of the French
Army in France, Feb. 17.-American
and French troops for several days
back have been holding in unison the
frontSline trenches on one Of the most
famous battlefields of the war, the
name of which is known throughout
the world.
The immediate impression gained in
conversation with both French and
Americans facing the enemy side by
side is that the unison is not only of
fighting forces, but of firm purpose to
win victory by mutual aid.
American officers declare their
chief trouble is to restrain their
men.
1t is inadvisable to designate the
units confronting the Germans, but
all the men are bending to their task
and they are anxious TO have the
people at home know that they are
well satisfied and determined to per-
form to their utmost the duties be-

chandise and store of P. G. Peterson
of Willard last week. Fire broke out
the first time on Tuesday evening
late when guests returning home from
party discovered it. The alarm was
turned in and the fire quickly
quenched. The following day the
store was closed awaiting the arrival
of the insurance adjustor. On
Thursday night fire again broke out
and was not discovered until beyond
control. It is assumed that the ca1se
was from an over heated chimney. The
building and contents were almost en-
tirely covered by insurance. For
tunately for r. Peterson, he had re-
newed his fire insranceubut few days
previously. He has gone to. Mime

A Good Friend

A good friend stands by YOU when
in need. Sank Centre people tell how
Doan's Kidney Pills have stood the
test. Frederick LANCE, farmer of N.
Main St., Sank Centre, endorsed
Doan's four years ago and again con-
firms the story. Could you ask for
more convincing testimony?
"My back was lame and it hurt me
to stoop or lift and mornings l felt
stiff and lame," says Mr.. LANCE. "The
kidney secretions passed frequently
during the night. Doan's Kidney
Pills removed the lameness, in my
back and did me good in every way.
They strengthened my kidneys so
wasn't bothered at night any more"
statement given October 4, 1879
On November 8, 1917, Mr.. LANCE
said: "I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills several times since I recommend
ed them in 1913 and tie have GER
tainly done wonderful work. I re-
member one particular occasion when
caught a cold which settled on my
kidneys and put them in bad shape.
It only took Doan's few days to
cure me-"

BILLIONS FOR DEFENSE.

Secretary of the Treasury aIcAdoo
will offer, for subscription every two
weeks between now and the opening
of the next Liberty Loan Treasury
Certificates of Indebtedness in
amounts of five hundred million dol
lars. or more If all the bangs ot
the country do their share, AMI it is
contemplated that they will, three bill
lion dollars of the certificates will be
taken by them between now and the
fiotation of the next Liberty Loan.
The raising of five hundred million
dollars every two weeks seems tre-
mendous task, yet in relation to the
banking resources of the United
States it seems easy of accomplish"
ment.
The resources of the National banks
of the United States on November 20
last were-more than eighteen and a
half billion dollars and the resources
of state banks and trust companies
on June 20, 1917, were practically
twenty-one billion.
The resources of both have in
creased since the dates named when
the latest reports were made. The
three billion expected by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is less than 10
per cent of the banking resources of
the Nation.
The banking power of the world in
1890 was estimated at fifteen and a
half billion dollars; the banking power
of the United States is now two and
half times as great as the banking
power of the world as late as that
year.
The United States is just beginning
to demonstrate it's unexampled pow
err and might. 1t is called upon to de-
fend the liberty of the world, to pre-
serve civilization and humanity. 1t is
answering in way to demonstrate
that it is equal to the task in courage,
in genius, in men, and in money.

Sank Centre can lay claim to very

NELSON ADVISES PRESIDENT.
Patriarch Senator Singled Out by
Wilson Suggests Influence on
Minnesota Democrats.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE way in
which President Wilson has been sing
ling out Senator Knute Nelson of Min
nesota as an adviser and aid to the adj
ministration in the last few weeks has
given color to repots that the prsi-
dent is using b i influence with Min
nesota democrats to clear the path for
Mr.. Nelson's reelection.
The attitude of democratic leaders
in Minnesota is not surprising to those
familiar with the situation in Washing
ton. The story here is that the presi-
dent has communicated his wishes to
the democratic candidate for the
senate be named. Now comes the pre-
diction from Minnesota that the demo-
Gratis will indorse Nelson for re-elec-
ton in their coming, state delegate
conference.
Senator Nelson always has been a
strong partisan, and stumped Mime
sofa for Hughes in 1916, but since the
development of the war crisis he has
stood by the president so firmly that
he now is being relied on as a bulwark
of the administration in the senate.
In poll taken recently on the pro-
posed war cabinet bill, Mr.. Nelson was
the only republican senator who de-
clared he was opposed to the measures
which the president has set himself so
steadfastly against. Some republic
cans were non-committal on the sub
ject, but Nelson frankly stated that
he was against it, thereby lining up
with the president on the issue.
A few days following Senator Mel
sons announcement he was named as
one of the republican members of the
subcommittee on judiciary to consider
the bill urged by the president to give
hic blanket power to reorganize and
consolidate government departments.
The following day he was summoned
to the White House by the president
with Senator Lee S. Overcan for a
conference on the bill, and he is re-
ported to be for the measure.

"Tell the home folks we are happy
to be in the fighting. The work is
hard and trying, but that is why we
are here. Nothing cos1ld induce us
to leave it until the job is finished
and the Germans are beaten"
Such, in substance, are the express
sions of dozens of the American
troops.
