NEWSPAPERS EFFICIENT "
RECRUITING AGENTS

Minnesota editors have been the
most. active and most efficient recruit
ing agents in this state for the past,
six months, and have been largely in
strumental in placing and keeping the
Minnesota recruiting district near the
head of the list of 81 recruiting
districts in the country, said Major
John D. Yost, recruiting officer for the
district, in addressing the state editors.
assembled at Glenwood Saturday, June
Goth. -.
''The papers of this state, sal the
Major, are running practically 200
columns Of publicity every week, which
is Of inestimable value from a recruit
ing standpoint. Six months ago this
district was not considered a leader,
and it's usual position in the list of
districts was about the middle of the
column. Today the Minnesota district
is running neck and neck with the
leaders, and the state is furnishing as
many voluntary recruits for the vari-
GUS branches of the United States
Army as any state in the union.''
Major Yost's talk was Of great inter-
est to the assembled editors, and the
results of their collective efforts were d
great surprise to the individual editors.
About 500 papers in the state, The
averred, publish weekly letter on re-
cruiting and keep the needs of the ma
ton constantly before the general
public. Recruiting publicity: is trans
lated and published weekly in at least
25. foreign language papers, including
Polish, German, Finnish, Norwegian,
Swedish, French and Austrian publica-
tions. Trade and Industrial journals
and fraternal papers have also been a
great aid, Major Yost stated, but the
real results in this district have come
through the hearty and continued CO.
operation of the daily and weekly
newspapers of the state. :. .ayI
/ In concluding his talk, the recruiting.
officer thanked the editors for what
they have done, and asked for their
further cooperation in his work in this
district He impressed on those pres
ent the great need of man power at the
present time, and the necessity for con-
tinued efforts in recruiting to make up
the losses occurring daily in: the ranks
Of the United States Army. - ;~~"..

Several chapters have inquired of
headquarters if they may not close
their workrooms for a time, in order
to have vacation. A sufficient an.
swer is that our boys at the front are
not taking a vacation this year. Every
day, Sundays and holidays included
shells will be flying and stream of
wounded men will he flowing into the
hospitals. Every day the doctors and
nurses will be using tons of dressings
and: HOSPITAL Supplies. Every day the
women and children who have lost
their all will need the garments you
are making. :*' 49,:
There: is large army enlisted at
home. and it is the task of each indi-
vidual of this corps to see that - the

of them can dds done to relieve the
5sufferings Of those who are fighting the
worlds battles.

officially announced by the Royal Nor
wegian provisions department that re-
cent experiments at Bergen to produce
bread containing 20 per cent of fish
having proved successful, a trial in the

Noise is Not Patriotism.

This year of all others is the time
for a safe and sane Fourth of July
celebration. Independence Day with
the nation at war should be thorough
~ patriotic observance. The old-time
riot of noise, death, fire and destruc-
ton, which was supposed to show pa
triotism, would be very much out of
place under, present conditions. The
country needs the powder, and it needs
to protect the life and limb which were
sacrificed in the former observance, and
the millions of property which regular
~ went up in smoke: and flame. .
The Sane Fourth movement has
made remarkable progress in the past
few years, and this year should see the
end of the old absurdity of celebrati ting
the nations birthday with pistols and
crackers, with their inevitable accom-
paniment of racing ambulances and
changing fire engines. The deaths from
Fourth Of July casualties, which were
466 in 1903, had been reduced by 1917
to II, while the injuries, which were
1888 in the first year, fell last year to
1876. Formerly the fremen expected to
be kept on the jump all day on the
Fourth, but for several years, in
Chicago and other cities where fire.
works have been prohibited, the num-
Der of alarms has actually been below
the daily average: $500
With this. record it should hardly
need the recommendations of the State
Council of Defense :ap1d the Fire Mar
shals to secure municipal orders and
individual cooperation against the use
Of explosives on the Fourth. The
United States is likely to burn powder
enough-tAis- year without wasting any
of it on Independence Day. Its list of
dead and wounded in the cause. Of lib
erty will be- long enough without
adding to it in an antiquated and alb
surd observance Of the Fourth Of July.

Acquiring Capital.

Some one tells the story of a negro
who had acquired $500 all at once from
sale Of farm products He never be-
fore had hadso much money: He i'm
mediately hitched up his ancient steed,
and hied himself to the nearest town.
All his life he had wanted a phono-
graph. He bought one that was to cost
$780,
Then learning that he could make a
saving in the price by buying two, he
put up another $50, and loaded the two
instruments into his cart and went
home rejoicing.
The profits Of the war are most un-
equally distributed. A great many
wealthy people are becoming inordin-
ately rich: Many people Of moderate
means are wealthy now. Many men
that never before had a dollar ahead
are drawing their $3.50 to $50 a week.
And great many others aren't getting
a cent more than they used to-. They
have to meet the high prices by re-
duction in standard of living.
The people who unexpectedly find
themselves in possession Of sums of
money to which they are not accustom-
ed, should remember that the harvest
is likely to be short. We shall come
down to hard pan after the war. And
as the war goes on. the government will
get after sprofteerins, and reduce. pro-
duction to a. more essential basis.
The man who finds himself in posses
sion of IAN unexpected roll of money
will do we'll to put it right where he
can get it. Let him not spend it the
way our negro did. It : is the best
chance he ever had in his life to get a
reserve ahead and begin to acquire
some property. Let him reflect that
no man ever counts for much who de-
ponds every week upon his pay envel-
ope for that week. Capital has built
the entire fabric of modern life The
man who doesn't help build it by con-
tributing something to the accumula-
ton Of capital, is not of much use to
the community

Economy of Fuel.

Scientific authorities have long been
telling us that enormous quantities of
fuel are wasted in the production of
steam power One authority states
that 35 per cent of the combustion of
coal could be saved by installing me-
chanical stokers that feed the coal
evenlyayto the fire.
The traditions of American life are
contrary to much interference with the
individual. If manufacturer was
burning IS per cent more fuel than he
needs, we have looked at it that that
was his own affair exclusively. If he
was fool enough to throw away that
money, we have said that it was his
own business, and no one should inter-
fere. ~
But now we see what fatal conse-
quenees may come. from such wastes.
Last winter many of our factories had
to stop because of lack of coal. Enor-
nous quantities Of corn spoiled in store
houses, because the railroads were SO
congested by lack Of fuel that the corn
could not be transported to the mill.
The time has come when we must
stop. these wastes. The man who burns
up coal needlessly because he has an
unsuitable boiler, must be Informed
that be is depicting the common stock,
which is contrary to public policy.
The waste of coal can be seen in all
manufacturing towns where great
clouds Of half consumed fuel are pour
ed into the air in the form of heavy
smoke. q, It destroys paint and furnish
1ngs, and adds to the cost Of living, so
that the wasteful coal user Injuries the
community in two ways. These are
matters, in which the government and
the business community will have to
cooperate to secure more economical
use Of our resources. Fuel economy
must be studied and necessary app1i-
ances provided so that our limited
stock Of fuel shall be made to go as
Ear as possible. u n ,.,; b; b.

Potato Candy Is the Latest.

Washington, July 3.-Potato candy
is: the latest war time offering in
sweets, the food administration an
;nounced. It comes in the form Of
bon bons, which lock like chocolates,
taste like cotoanut and have deli
cate, brittleness: about them. When
munched slowly, says the announce
ment, an agreeable flavor is apparent.
Potato candy, it is added, is a, logical
followup with tapioca -four bread,
whale steak, porpoise fllets, mes
quite syrup, cottonseed flour mullins,
and canned shark meat.

FIRES ON THE FARMS.
Precautionary Work is Especially I'm.

-, - portant AT This Time !
In this campaign to increase the
food supply of the country and 53of the
world, conservation is quite as import
ant as production. The grain and meat
and other foodstuffs now here must,bel
preserved from wasteful destruction
while additional supplies are being pro-
duced. Fires destroy; millions of bu-
shells of grain and thousands of heads
Of cattle each year, and it is the duty
Of the patriotic citizen to reduce this
preventible and criminal waste by every
meanes in his power.
An important responsibility rests up
on the farmer in this matter The Con:
on the farmer in this matter. The
Council of National Defence, working
through the State Councils and the
fire marshals, and with the invaluable
cooperation of the inspectors of the
stock and mutual fire insurance com
panies, is making an inspection of all
the grain elevators, flour mills pack
ing plants and food warehouses Of the
country, with a view to reducing the
hazards Of fire. In this the cooper
alton of the owners is expected, and is
being given, as patriotic duty in this
time of national crisis. But this force
| of inspectors cannot 60 out of the, cities
and towns, and yet there is an enor-
nous amount of foodstuffs on the farm
which it is equally important to pro-
tect against the hazards of fire. This
| work is up to the farmer himself, and
in doing it he is not only protecting his
own property and family, but is doing
his bit in the, vitality important work
of conserving the food supplies of the
| world. ..@s-.,.-- !
The great majority Of the fires are
due to carelessness, and under exist
ing conditions carelessness is a crime.
The ordinary common-sense precau-
| lions are all that is necessary. Be
careful about smoking, matches and
lights, remember the hazards Of gaso-
line, keep a barrel Of water or box,
of sand ready for emergencies, have
your barns properly rodded against
lightning, clean up the rubbish in
which fire is likely to start, and you
will be doing your share as patriotic
citizen in time Of national need.

 '.The United States as nation has had the very good fortune that in the supreme crisis Of her national history the man whom she most needed for inspira>7n and guidance has always appeared.
 Wilson's Great Decision
 President Wilson has taken the greatest decision of our age, ani. he has carried his people with him in Jt. Moreover, he has laid before the world the grounds for his decision, the req sons which justified and compelled f and the spirit in which it was ad,p- ted. He has done this in state papers which are worthy to live side by side with the most inspiring utrerances of his most famous predecessors.
 Probably the world owes it's graz. est debt to President Wilson TOT h4'p- lr.T men whose vision had been blur red and blinded by the smoke of tie bsttlefields to lift up their eyes and to look through it and beyond it. It Is very difficult in time of war to Keep a steady hand and a clear -on- que. President Wilson does both.
 "We cannot ask ourselves too often what we are fighting for. President Wilson has done more than any ot...- CT statesman to concentrate the minds of his own people, of the allied, and even of enemy peoples, upo league of ations as our dominating world aim.
