Frost as q Finish.

Frost gets lot of blame when 1t
kills of certain fruits and withers GER
tain plants. Blackberries lose their
lusclousness, and mushrooms fear to
bloom, yet the housewife has much to
be thankful for to Father Frost.
He 1t is who causes the celery to
have that delightful crispness. No
epicure would eat celery before 1t has
been frosted" And what dame with
any knowledge would think of cutting
red cabbage for picking before II
had been touched with the cold nip of
winter?
Many people refuse to eat Savoy
cabbages before they have been given
the sweetness OF the frost, and pars-
nlps have no Favor rrtil they have
been similarly treated.

EXPLODED ARGUMENTS!

Estates which have already adapted
themselves to prohibition can smile at
the arguments advanced by Its oppo-
nents In New York, for they have al
ready been exploded" says the Port
land Oregonian, paper formerly
opposed to prohibition. THE lost rev.
enue Is already made up by other
forms of taxation without hardship or
complaint, especially as the effect Of
prohibition is already becoming ap-
parent in a diminutiOn of crime and
insanity and consequently Of public
burdens. Breweries are applied to
other uses than making beer and other
retail business has occupied vacant
saloons. Former employees of brewer
les and saloons have found other occu-
pations, for there are practically no
unemployed in Oregon who wish TO
work. States and cities have learned
that they can get along without liquor
revenue, capital has learned that 1t
can find profitable use for property
which was formerly applied to pro-
duction of revenue, and workingmen
have found other Jobs. The liquor
traffic has disappeared and we have
quickly closed the gaps which 1t left"

Work from dawn till set of sun.
Make the clothing-raise the food,

And we'll help our boys to down the
bloody Hun.
In the gardens and the field
We will work to make them yield
Food enough to keep our boys In
fighting blood.
in the offices and shop "..
We will work and never stop.
And we'll show the world love for
womanhood
Chorus.
When this cruel war began
We were young and didn't plan
That our feeble hands could help In
any way.
But we find that we were wrong,
So we'll labor all day long,
And we'll help our boys to down the
bloody Hun.

No INCONVENIENCE
STORM DOES NOT DAMPEN CAMP
MEETING FERVoR.

Tenters at the camp passed through
the electrical storm Monday night with
no more serious damage than that OF
being kept awake for a time but with
the dawn OF the morning after the
storm had spent itself. the regular
schedule OF meetings was resumed as
though nothing had happened. The
sunrise meeting at 600 a. m. and the
Peoples meeting at 800 a. m. were
the only meetings of the camp that
were held until the services at 10: 80

taken up after the inspiring and help
full services that attended the com
mencement exercises of the Univer-

The public preaching service OF the
evening brought TO close one OF
the best days of the camp and after
the opening praise service, a grand
discourse was delivered by Rev.
Joseph II. Smith OF California. This
with the best Of preachers and those
of national reputation have usually
been the rule, but this year has been
exceptional, in that the best has been

ers was no mistake.
Camp Notes and items.
One of the strange freaks of the
electrical storm of Monday night was
when the lightning struck chimney
on the northwest corner of the w. X.
Gilmore residence. In some peculiar
manner the bolt opened a hole on both
sides of flue. short distance below the
top and yet on all sides the upper part
was still kept in place. The holes
were six or eight inches in diameter.
From the chimney the bolt ran down
through the roof into the interior, but
did no special damage there. The
crash however woke up some OF the
roomers in the house.

PLENTY OF HISTORY.

Sidney Lanier said, ut Is idle to
argue from prophecy when we can

to mention nearly all of Canada, fur
nishes the history.

Touching and Pathetic
Scenes when Company was

Fargo, N. d., Feb. 12.-Touching
and pathetic must have been the
scene when the members of Company
B of Fargo were robbed of their cap
tain and other officers in the smash
ing up of the 164th infantry, which
formerly included the First North Da-
kota, shortly after the landing in
France.
"Eu now for the real news" writes

afternoon. And to see hat bunch
break out in tears! Well, it was near
~ as bad as a. death sentence. We
don't know where they are going and
we are sure hat we will never see
any of them again. Captain Colley,
Lieutenant South, Lieutenant Thomp-
son and Sergeants South and Fjelstad
left for somewhere" n God only
knows what they are going to do with
us. | only hope that wherever they
e us, what is left can be together.
"But losing our friends here and
not hearing from u friends at home,
FOR this is the tWenty-ninth day that
has passed without receiving mail
oh, we'll, l guess the worst is yet to
come"
Sergeant Smith states that he can
not say he liked travelling on the wa
ter. While at Winchester he attended
services in n of the Oldest churches,
built in the year 906 A. ID. He says
the church was very interesting.
We left the camp for over here
after a trip cross the English chan
mel in a cattle boa in which 1 nearly
fro"e to death and then we rode three
days and two nights on a cattle train.
The weather was so cold tina the wa
ter in our c%anteens froze. However,
we arrived safe and sound. We are
now in barracks and manage to keep
warm.
About the eats. They are far from
being as good as we had in the United
States. We get bread once a day and
