SIT.ZER'S CARELEssNEss.

t beats all how some men cannot be satls- ted unless they are in trouble. They appear to have 2 craving for trouble. And seemingly Delegate sulzer is one of that sort. In yester- Gay's mail we received copies of the various bills lhe delegate introduced in congress in the inter est of Alaska, Now you watch the operation that will follow. Short of murder he will be accused of all kinds of crimes. From robbing the poor to lavorine the rich Unnindful of the consequence. the Delegate went right ahead and introduced more bills, which to his mind are for cur own benefit Among the bills inhuduced, is one to regulate She fishing industry in Alaska By fa- the most important measure, so far as Southeastern and Western Alaska is concerned
 The measure as introduced hE the Delegate is accompanied by letter containing the request for its publication and inviting criticism. h view Of the importance of the bill the request for it's publication shall he complied with Commencing ith today portion of it shall appear every day until the entire bill has been published. Later comments-if any-provided the commentators confne themselves to discussing vital points 2hall also be published, if so desired.
 Since Alaska's fishing industry became known. there has been many bills introduced to reculate t bur the bills were no sooner introduce cd that charges Of favoritsm. nonopy and what not were made. resulting n much trouble for all concerned. Hence our deduction that Delegate Suzer must like trouble since he has introduced another. Be that as it may, We believe it to be our duty to help the Delegate in this matter by advising him without tearing him to pieces be- cause his ideas do not agree with ours. At the outset, let us make up our minds that we cannot have it all our own way; that we must not only take but give also; and with this firm resolution we can meet oil common ground and settle the question in manner that we can all derive some benefit from the industry.

To civilians such reports al ways bring anxiety and worry but with the boys. the reverse may be said. Their worry and sus- pense are over.

THANKSGIVING

Lansing, November 4.-Thanksgiv-
ing week this year is set aside for food
conservation, not for feasting. The
United States Food Administration
asks the stores on every business
street in the United States to picture,
in their display windows, the prodigi-
Gus task of feeding the allied world
through 1919.
Posters and window cards of special
design have been issued by the u. S.
Food Administration at Washington.
They are available to every retailer
through his state merchant represen-
tative, or the local merchant deputy
Of the Food Administration.
Plans and illustrations of food con-
servation for window display, sugges-
tons for the use of posters in mer-
chandising displays, designs for deco
rative background, and window cards
which will be helpful to window dress
ers everywhere, are included in the
new window display flyer, which the
Michigan merchant representative of
the Food Administration, Oscar Web
Der, of Detroit, will distribute before
the big window week Of November Fl
to 20.
1000 Display
"Don't half do this work for the
Food Administration. The food win
dow must have "punch," says Food
Administrator G.. A. Prescott. "Not
rs people out of hundred who see
it, but every single one of the hun
bred, must feel that crumpling of the
heart and that Tightening of the jaw
which means resolution to go home
and SAVE MORE FOOD.
"Big stores with elaborate facilities
for building window displays, will
want to attempt dramatic presenta-
ton of the nations task in saving
TN million tons of food. Small stores
can be just as effective in a simpler
way.
"Clear out the display space during
Thanksgiving week and make the food
conservation appeal with all the en-
thusiasm you have in you. Make
every passerby realize that we must
save 80 per cent more food this year
than we did last, out of total supply
no larger than we had then.
"The store windows on our business
streets can make that picture so real
that nobody can escape it. Clean the
decks for the big food window during
Thanksgiving week. Speed the mes
sage of sacrifice and service. Give our
people that war conscience which will
develop an individual responsibility
for that TN million tons of food. Tell
them to EAT LESS and be thankful
we have enough to share with the SOL
diers Of freedom" said Mr.. Prescott.

President Wilson's insinuations that
that the Republican party was not 100
per cent loyal-to the war and that it's
success at the polls would be pleasing
to the Kaiser, certainly met with a
warm response at the hands of the
voters. Republicans met the chal.

is certainly showing its ability to%put
the plan into the most effective exc
cution. An extension of such a policy
as this, and with the free trade Of to-
morrow standing guard over the in
dustrial wreckage of today, the South
would at length realize its long desire
to sell its raw material to England
taking payment in British manufac-
lures produced at so per cent of the
American wage and absolutely domi-
mating the American market. This is
a removal of economic barriers with
a vengeance.
ANOTHER BOOST
The Food Administration has ad-
vanced the cost of living again. Res
taurants are limited as to the amount
of bread that can be served, so people
will have to order more potatoes,
which come higher on the bill of fare.
The people will be glad to save the
bread for the Allies, as requested, bat
they would like to bring the substi-
tutes within reasonable price limits.
TO A KNOCKOUT
To Senator Poindexter, of Washing
ton, belongs the credit for promptly,
courageously and vigorously asserting
on the floor of the Senate the deter
mination of the people Of the country
not to stand for any more parleying
with barbarism. He spoke the senti-
ments not only of the Republicans, but
of the entire people. with the excep-
ton of an inconsiderable few would
be statesmen who echo every senti-
ment that emanates from the White
House. Poindexter has a son in the
service and he does not want his son
to feel the humiliation of an inglori-
Gus compromise.
THEY DON'T ANSWER"
If Mr.. McAdoo wants to know why
so many people were slow about buy
ing Liberty Bonds, he may find out on
inquiry that it took them so long to
get Central on the telephone that they
had no time for anything else. 1t Nc
Adoo could only speed up the tele-
phone service little the country
would have time for business. You
can't wait on the telephone and do
business at the same time.

Mott, N. D., Jan. lit makes
ones blood run cold to hear the sto-
ries from refugees of crimes against
womanhood, and l cannot understand
how a Providence that governs the
world can let such atrocities go un-
punished very long," writes ID. H.

Emery, of this city. Mr.. Emery is
with the colors'' at the front.
The people of our country do not

In a letter recently received by his
parents. I'VE should get down to
work now in order to do our part to
win this world war.
II little dreamed last Christmas

Mr.. Emery says that Fritz seems
to have taken particular pains in de-
molishing churches and cemeteries,
and this is the only war in which the
head have not been sacred. He
writes that in the large cemeteries
the Germans would blow the slabs
from the vaults, remove the caskets
and break them open for jewelry or
metal they could find, and then burn
the rest and use the vaults for sleep
ing quarters.
II have seen all this with my own
eyes," writes Mr.. Emery. THE 9TH
err day I saw a trainload of French
refugees being taken to a refugee
camp. They had been the same as
prisoners in their villa since the Ger
man invasion in 1914 and recaptured
by the English. They were a sorry
looking sight and certainly to be
pitied. One thing that has kept the
allies from retaking these villages is
the fact that they are full of civil
ians. The Germans know this and
use them as a shield. Any attemst
to shell the places would cause the
death of hundreds of innocent peo-
pie. II forced to leave the town, they
take all with them except those too
old or too young to BE of any serv-
ice."
