A BOYS APPRECIATION
OF HIS KOMFORT KIT
Editor, Willmar Tribune:

Editor, Willmar Tribune:
The following letter of thanks writ
ten by former Willmar boy in ack-
nowledgement of "Komfort Kit"
sent to him from the Willmar Union,
is so good that we wish to pass it
along:
625 West 113 New York City
August 2. 1918.
To the Ladies of the w. c. T. U.
This evening when I came from the
Post, I spied package in Mothers
handwriting. Of course I knew that
something very satisfactory was on the
inside because is came from her. And
so it was. She knew.
First there were some sox, then as I
explored further, came to khaki bundle
That was most interesting because it
was not obvious. I suspected the con-
tents tho because mother had mentioned
kits to me, and I think I had told her
of my bachelor 1ongings for someone or
something to sew on buttons, mend etc.,
The next thing was to pull
"tie that binds" and see what was con-
cealed inside. did that quickly enough
and the sight was good for sore eyes.
What galaxy Of material! Why, / can
sew, mend, pin, paste, stick, bandage,
darn, -ad inflnitam-until I'll be can
didate for the Dressmaker's Union. And
l had fine time thinking over how
many loving hands had wrapped and
handled, sewed and arranged the kit;
and in going thru the different pockets.
I appreciate and thank you very much.
The kit means far more to me than it
could to just any soldier who didn't
know the folks who made it.
I've named my new found companion,
my Batch Kit, and its going to be true
to it's name for some years to come.
Very sincerely yours,
Troy M. Rodlun.

How to Enforce the Law.


"They tell me that the prohibitory
law is not enforced" says William Jen-
nings Bryan. my answer is, elect men
who will enforce it! Don't you know
that the first thing that the liquor in
terests do is to name men who will not
enforce the law? The man who accepts
the nomination from the men interest
ed in liquor must take an oath in adj
vance that he will violate the oath that
the Constitution requires him to take.
That is the condition upon which they
give their support!
"But I have another answer. If you
tell me that we win have blind tigers
if we don't have saloons, answer
that if the tiger were after my boy, the
binder the tiger, the safer my boy
would be! If the tiger is blind, my boy
must hunt him up; If the tiger can see,
he can hunt my boy up. If we close
the saloons and they still sell liquor,
they do it in the byways and in the al
. legs, and those who sell are criminals;
and those who deal with them do 1t
with shame upon the face.
IF we close the saloons and then
elect men who will enforce the law we
are not to blame if, in spite Of all we
can do there may be some selling with
out license. We are no more respon.
sible after we have done all we can
than we are for the work of burglar
who enters house in spite Of the fact
that we have a law against burglary y

A Mile Of Front.

HOW many boys, when they read
in the paper that the Americans have
captured mile 'front.'" realize what
a tremendous undertaking is express
ed in these few words? How many
realize the enormous amount of mat.
erial and labor necessary for the con-
struction of a single mile of the great
battle? line? asks the American Boy,
For mile of front among the
swamps OF Flanders, for example,
with its first and second lines of
breastworks, the necessary barbed
wire is 900 miles in length and. weighs
10 tons.
The sandbags required for its pro.
lection number 6,250,OOO, and their
weight is more than a thousand tons.
To fill these millions of sandbags and
place them in position would keep
500 industrious men hard at work
for IL. months; for the average man
cannot fill and place more than Is
bags in one night.
In addition 10000 six-foot stand
ards are required; 10000 small pick
cts, $4,000 running feet of corrogat-
ed iron; more than a million feet of
timber, and vast quantities of riveting
material of various kinds.-Dawson

The Gulf Bridoed,


The coming of prohibition will be
a real blessing to the Americans Of
German birth and descent-it will
bridge the gulf that has separated
them from the rest of the people.
German brewers have used the Ger
man American Alliance to make a
language barrier between the German
Americans and their neighbors. The
liquor interests have tried to keep
their countrymen in beer gardens
talking about the fatherland and de-
nouncing the so-called Temperance
fanatics" when they should have been
mingling with their fellow-citizens
and cooperating in improving social
conditions.
The end has come; with the exit of
this sordid and constituencies group
that grew rich by poisoning the
minds as we'll as the bodies Of their
brothers, the men and women of Teu-
ton stock can become part Of living,
aspiring, progressive America.
The boys, returning from the army,
will bring back the spirit of comrade-
ship, and, having learned the fallacy
of the argument that beer is a neces-
sity, will enter upon the sober work
of citizenship with clear brains, steady
nerves and a hope that they have be-
fore not known. Prohibition will be
a boon to ALTO none more than to
German Americans.-W. ]. Bryan, In
the CommOner.

A CLEAR ISSUE.

There will be but two names on the
ballot this fall for U. S. Senator-old
Uncle Knute Nelson and w. G. Calder
wood: The former is a fine type of
the old reactionary statesman, and the
latter one of the most virile and eff.
Gent fighters for progressive legisla.
ton that this country has produced.
Ii you are stand-patter and wish to
see the Senate remain the bulwark of
the vested interests and special in
terests, you should vote for Uncle
Knute. If on the other hand you
want to assist in getting progressive
legislation, you will vote for Calder.
wood. The peoples cause never had
more interchangeable champion, a
better posted advocate, nor a more
tireless worker. His record rings clear
and true as bell to every test.

CENTRAL POWERS WEAKENING,

NM vvGANcNIN0s
The world-war is apparently enter:
ing into its last stage. Germany is
retreating every day from land in
France and Belgium conquered at a
tremendous sacrifice of her man
power and resources. The Allies are
pounding her numerically from Switz-
erland to the Channel And the eff
cheney and numbers of the Americans
participating is growing every day.
Bulgaria's unconditional surrender is
conclusive proof that the Mittel-E Euro
pa combination is crumbling If Ger
many fails to hold Bulgaria against
her will and the Allies shut off Turkey
and gain access to the Black Sea, the
rehabilitation of Russia will be facili-
tated and the fatal decentralization
of Austria will surely follow. 1t is
certain that the war-aims of America
as expressed by President Wilcon was
potent factor in inducing Bulgaria
at this time to give up her future
entirely to the pleasure of the Allies.
AS the gospel of world-freedom as
voiced by our great president contin-
ues to penetrate the wartorn countries
more startling developments may be
looked for. In Germany recent events
has led to the resignation of the old
government, and chancellor has been
appointed who is said to have oppos-
ed the measures which caused the
rupture with America.
The fight will continue with I'm.
abated fury until the naughty Hohen.
zollerns are humbled and Germany
Internationally surrenders to the
league of nations. This will require
more sacrifices on our part, but these
should and will be cheerfully met.

ln the face Of the part taken by or
ganized farmers in great Reform
measures briefly outlined above, what
person can truly say that they have
not accomplished anything worth
while? AS one who has been on the

has taken some little part in these

that the money, time and labor spent
by him in promoting these measures,
has not been entirely lost or thrown

MARTIN COUNTY DRY
UNDER BOARD ORDER

Two Saloons at ceylon Closed by State
Public Safety Commission.
Martin county became bone dry to-
day under an order the state Pub
lie Safety commission closing two sa-
looms at Ceylon.
The order precedes the effect Of the
recent option election to make that
county dry. Saloons at Trotsky,
nearby town in Pipestone county, were
refused new licenses and are closed.
Blue Earth county will become dry
under county option within six months.
The election and commission order to-
day leaves Steele county the only wet
county in Southern Minnesota.
Violation by the Ceylon saloons of
a previous order restricting their sales
of liquor between the hours of a. m.
and p. m. and to quantities for con-
sumption on the premises is the
ground given for the closing order
served and made public today by the
Public Safety Commission.
The sale and delivery of intOxicat-
ing liquors in Ceylon is prohibited un-
til three months after the war. Out
standing licenses are revoked and
liquor stocks removed by rail from
Martin county within 10 days on pen
atty of confiscation.
Governor Burnquist is requested to
enforce the order, and it was served
by agents Of the commission.

Gov: Burnquist has not prof1ted by
any of the lessons that the results of
the primary campaign might have
taught him. His Dassel speech
proves that. Isn't it queer that he
still wishes to remain governor of a
state which has so many "perverted"
and "seditious" folks. We have a
bunch that the people will relieve him
from his embarrassing position be-
fore another month has passed.

D. D. Daily, the genial chairman of
the Wheaton forces, in public docu-
ment gives Burnquist a dose of his
own overworked disloyalty political
medicine. He charges that J. A. A. B.
was a $3.50 American during the open
ing months of the war, and what is
more, proves it by the editorial utter
ances from the columns of the very
daily press which is now trying to re-
elect Burnquist.
