WOMEN AND GERMAN VICTORY

IF Germany wins the cause of women is lost, declared
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst. There is a woman with good sound
sense in her head, however much she has shown the lack of
such sense in the past. But while the cause" might be lost the
women under German rule would have plenty of work to do
work principally connected with producing babies. Women
are now spoken of in Germany as POLITICALLY pregnant" and
kaiser as good German women" He has been killing German
men so fast to make his wars that he has to appeal to the wo-
men to produce more babies, and to stimulate the crop he has
made it a matter of goodness" as well as of patriotism. And
mothers will no longer be asked where they got their babies,
nor will children be asked who their fathers are or were, for
they won't know and we take it that they will be brought up
not to care, no more than do the calves in the pastures or the
birds in the air. We read now of soldiers who have done we'll
being billetted in the houses of women whose husbands have
been killed or of women who have not yet been able to acquire
husbands-and the women being good German women" I'M
derstand what their relations are to be with such billetted men
and they are supposed to do their "duty by the state"
But what an orgie of morals that is. The experiment of
breeding human beings as animals are bred in the pastures and
the pens is one that will be watched with something Ct horror
by the rest of the world, the rest of the world that still believes
that love has something to do with the production of men and
with the finer s%ensibiities and capabilities. Those who
are brought into the world according to the merely animal
formulas must of necessity partake more or less of the brute
and the animal, and the existence of a large nation without
such consideration and responsibilities is to be contemplated
with misgivings-they will of necessity hate all those who hold
to finer and higher ideals. And the German experiment has
never been tried before, not even among the savages Of North
America, for the Sioux and the Apaches had an idea of parent
hood that was above that which is now proclaimed in a coun-
try that has murdered its men in wars.

President Wilson asks employers and employees to put an
end to the shifting of labor from one place to another, which
reduces production and makes Migrants of wOrkmen. Cost
plus-profit contracts are largely responsible for the disorgani-
cation of industries. Such contractors do not care how high
wages go as long as they receive a percentage on the cost. and
their competition. has upset the labor market and hampered the
recruiting of labor-Exchange.

HOW MUCH MAY A HOUSEWIFE CAM?

In view of wartime conditions the canning season pre-
SCENTS the problem of how much fruit and how many vegetables
can be prepared for future use without overstepping the regu-
lations governing the use of sugar or the conservation of food.
May the housewife put up an unlimited supply of canned
goods and not be accused of hoarding?" In response to the
question John R. Mum, chief of the canned goods division,
United States Food Administration, said:
THE Food Administration urges the canning of %foodstuffs
in the home to the limit of home consumption.
IF it is desirable to put up more than one years supply,
the Food Administration can have no objection, but cautions
the Gamer that there may be spoilage and loss if the preserved
foods have to be held over a long period.
IT is not economical for the Gamer to have the idea of dis
posing of any surplus through commercial channels, but the
Food Administration does urge in the season of production the
preserving of as much food as possible for home consumption.

TIME FOR ACTION

Those who are waiting for the Boshevik government to
join the allies are the most simple minded among us; this must
be said even if the president himself is among those who have
been stirred with such hopes. The fears of offending the lead
es of that gang, which has acuated some of our statesmen is
the baseless fear. Lenine and Trotzky may hold out
such hopes, but they are tricksters and liars. Those who have
than ever that these men are in the pay of Germany and that
they are merely the agents of Germany to deliver Russia
bound hand and foot into the hands of the miltarists of Berlin.
And that is what they have been doing stealthily and gradually
But why should there at any time have been anv doubt of
this? Has it not been known from the first that Lenine went
into Russia via Berlin, and that he received his instructions
there as we'll as his means to carry on his counter revolution?
When our government temporizes and hopes for something
to come out of Lenine and Trotzky and the Bolsheviki we are
playing the same asinine game that we did when we tried to
believe that there was something that Won Bernstorff could do
for us-to keep us out of the war. Afterward we learned that
Won Bernstorff and his whole gang had been plotting 70 blow
up things in America while they were sending fair words along
peace lines to the White House-words that for a long linn mar
alyzed our preparedness.
And so let us put no trust in the arch enemies who are noy
ed and that we have gotten nothing from them. And thew p

If we save and thereby better our financial position and at
the same time help our government win the war are we de-
serving of credit? The editor of the Duluth Herald thinks
not. In a recent editorial he wrote:
when Uncle Sam asks us to save to help win the war he
asks us to do ourselves a great favor; and yet, simply because
the need is great and the appeal urgent, and because the nation
pleads with us to do this simple thing, we are prone to look
upon it as a great favor to The country and to stick feathers in
our hats and go strutting around because we granted it. It's
patriotic. all right. 1t helps the cOuntry-not only now, but
later not only for the war, but for the trial of national fiber
that comes after the war-but it helps us even more.
"And it is so easy, so much more helpful to ourselves than
to the country. so small a thing to do compared with what our
ourselves for doing it,
we ought to do it. We must do it. But instead of eX-
pecting Uncle Sam to decorate us for herOism we ought to
get on our knees and thank him for the opportunity of getting
a little sound sense pounded into us at last. And that goes as
to the average individual, and as to the nation and people as a
whole"

tory. This is over and above the
bonus of 10 per cent, which has
been given by the company for some

Ia view of the fact that the com
pany now employees 3,437 persons,

OF living rises or falls, as shown by
Bradsreets index Of commodity
prices.
1T viii be figured only on those
weeks pay during which the en-
ploye has a perfect record of at
tendance. If you are out, without
leave, for a day or a part of day
during the week, there will be no
extra bonus paid you for that week
1T will be paid on the pay day
nearest the end OF the month, and
then not for that month. but for
the two previous months, and only
to those who are at that time in the
employ of the company.
The first payment will be made
March % covering the extra bonus
due, as computed on earnings dur
ing the eight weeks beginning Dec
81, 1917, and ending Feb. %. 1918.
For this first payment credit will
be given TO all for perfect record
Of attendance since Dec. 81, or the
date beginning work, up 10 Feb. %,
1918.
1T will be calculated upon wages.
plus the 10 per cent bonus now paid
with the sole exception that for any
,se so earning over $25 per week it
will not be calculated upon the total
amount earned, but upon s25 only.

ployment Of the company, you can
draw this extra bonus up to the time
