1t is not what one eats that makes
him. fit; it is. what one digests. It is
not what one earns that makes him
rich; it is what one saves.
The large earnings of today will be
Of little avail unless there is a will
to save. There is need that the men
who are receiving today the highest
wages in the history of the country,
put some part of these earnings where
they will be of benefit to the Garner,
the business of the country and the
country itself.
Don't waste. Save, and save con-
sistently.

There is little to indicate that the
influenza is on the wane in Minot and
vicinity tho the crest has probably
been reached. No public meetings
are apt to be permitted for another
week or two. While this means quite
sacrifice for the schools and the
moving picture houses, the situation is
one that must be handled without
gloves and we will all have to take
our medicine. IN Minneapolis, where
public places were closed. the cpl
demicIs on the wane, while the con-
dition has become so alarming in ST..
Paul, where everything ran wide open,
that drastic closing orders are row in
effect.

A well known Minot man who is a
friend to all mankind, but who does
MT love all kinds of dogs, points out
that there are altogether too many
worthless dogs in the city. He points
out that a worthless dog eats as much
or more than one of our pedigreed
settlers, for instance. He suggests
that the city take some action to rid
itself of some of the CANNES he places
in the worthless class. It would be
pretty hard to make some fellows be-
lieve that their "houn dawgs" are not
good for something.

Get Fritz Where the Hair is Short
Writing from France, Rolla John
son of the Engineering Corps, says the
regular visits of the Independent are
a source of comfort to the boys over
there. It was thru the columns of
the Independent that he first learned
of Howard Huston's purported death.
We herewith give some extracts from
his letter:

I received the Independent with the
account Of Lieut.. Huston's death in it
and last night received the clipping

had written since the date the depart

still among the living as he is q

as I went to high school with him.

GERMANS LOOTING
IN BALTIC AREA
COLLECTING BREADSTUFFS
AND SENDING TO HUN
DOM-KILLINGS.
(By the Associated Press.)

Moscow, Monday, March Is
Prince Henry OF Prussia, brother OF
the German emperor, and one of his
sons, have arrived at Reval, EStho-
MIA. They were greeted heartily by
the German population, but the Es-
thonians refused to participate in
the reception. The visit is attributed
to a desire to create pro-German
feeling in the Baltic provinces.
The Germans are busy collecting
and exporting breadstutfs from the
Pskov division, northeast of Dyinsk.
At Perchorska yesterday, near
Pskov, 40 members of German de
tachments requiSitioning bread were
killed by peasants. Bridges were
destroyed by the peasants, who also
harrasSed the Germans by carrying
away the bread and destroying carts
and wagons.
The Germans tricked many of the
peasants into PSkov by announcing
they had an abundance of bread and
sugar which would be sold cheaply.
The Germans seized the carts and
horses of the peasants, but sold no
food.
\ bolshevik supreme war council
has been formed to take charge OF
army organization. Leon Trotzky,
has been appointed chairman of the
council Agents are being sent from
Moscow into all the provinces to or
ganize the peasants to supplement
the efforts OF the council of work
men in opposing the Germans. Vol
unteers will be called for, after
which local workmen will prepare
lists of men refusing to volunteer
and will post them publicly. To all
Shirkers will be denied the right tc
participate in public affairs.

THE question OF extending the
operation of the military service act
