P.stor Ripen Makes Brilliant Address.
4 President's Four minute Message F
Arouses Crest Enthusiasm. ~~s@

Ans enthusiastic audience crowded
the Princess Theater in Grand Marais
on Juluy 4th and heard with delight
a brilliant patriotic address by Rev.
William Ripon, pastor Of the Congre-
gational church in this village. =.
Seargent Majer G: w. German, of
"The Little Black Devils, one of
Canada's crack fighting regiments,
gave realistic story of his three
years life in the trenches in no mans
land.
U. S. immigration Inspector Mahon
read President Wilson's four minute
message, being frequently Interrupt
ted by applause from the enthusiast
tic audience.
Reverend Ripon said that this war
has developed great and noble men,
great statesmen, great generals, but
among the greatest men that this
war has developed none occupies a
more prominent place than our be-
loved President Woodrow Wilson,
The pastor went on to state that
science has long established the unity
of the race, and that men were now
concentrating their thoughts upon
the unity of the nations. mo man
liveth to himself" is true of nations
| as we'll as of individuals. The re-
strictions of nationalism that have
hampered righteous dealings in many
wars play a minor part in this one.
Our safety is involved in the safety
of Belgium and France. The bonds
that bind men are forged in the heat
of this fierce conflict. We no longer
live enshrouded by prejudice and
isolation from the destiny of our
kind. This new internationalism has
bought the nations together and
created condition of interdepen-
dence of one nation upon another,
so that the war in Belgium becomes
our war, and the struggle for the
principles of democracy now being
waged in France is our struggle.
| The speaker scored the pacifists
and pro- Germans, and said we must
win the was because we do not want
to live under the mail-fsted knight
of the dark world, that three-headded
monster at Berlin. We do not want
to lick stamps with the Kaiser's
picture on them. We do not want to
give up Lincoln and Washington for
Hindenberg and the Kaiser:

FOUR MINUTE MESSAGE ..
FROM PRESIDENT WILSON

| AVu a . AAOS3 10y AVAAO" ze1SAASAA''
to commemorate the signing Of the
Declaration of Independence which
marked the awakening of a new spirit
in the lives of nations. Since the
birth of our republic, we have seen
this spirit grow. We have heard
the demand and watched the strug-
gle for self government spread and
triumph among many peoples. We
have come to- regard the right to
political liberty as the common right
of humankind. Year after year,
within the security of our borders,
we have continued to rejoice in the
peaceful increase Of freedom and de-
mocracy throughout the world. And
yet now, suddenly, we are confronted
with menace which, endangers every
thing we have won and everything
that the world has won.
In all its old insolence, with all it's
ancient cruelty and injustice, mill
tary autocracy has again armed It.
self against the pacific hopes of men.
Having suppressed self-government
among its own people by an organiz-
alton maintained in part by falsehood
and treachery, it has set out to i'm
pose it's will upon it's neighbors and
upon us. One by one, it has COM
PEELED every civilized nation in the
worried either to forego it's aspirations
or to declare war in their defense.
We find ourselves fighting again for
our national existence. We are face
to face with the necessity of assert
ing anew the fundamental right of
free men to make their own laws and
choose their own allegiance, or else
permit humanity to become the VIC
tim of a ruthless ambition that is
determined to destroy what it can
not master.
Against this threat the iberty-lov-
ing people of the world have risen
and allied themselves. No fear has
deferred them, and no bribe of ma
terial well-being has held them back.
They have made sacrifices such as
the world has never known before,
and their resistance in the face of
death and suffering has proved that
the aim which animates the German
effort can never hope to rule the
spirit of mankind. Against the hor--
ror of military conquist, against the
emptiness Of living in mere bodily
contentment, against the disolation
of becoming part of the State that
knows neither truth nor honor, the
world has so revolted that even
people long dominated and sup
pressed by force have now begun to
stir and arm themselves.
Centuries Of subjugation have not
destroyed the racial aspirations of
the many distinct peoples Of Eastern
Europe, nor have they accepted the
sordid ideals of their political and
military masters. They have sur
vived the slow prosecutions of peace
as well as the agonies of war, and
now demand recognition for their
just claims to autonomy and self
government. Representatives Of
these races are with you today,
voicing their loyalty to our ideals and
Offering their services in the common
cause. I ask you, fellow citizens, to
unite with them in making this our
Independence day the first that shall
be consecrated to a declaration of
independence for ali the peoples of
the world.

CAN PRODUCE - MANY TONS OF
 POTASH YEARLY

This amount, according to the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture is the possible production of potash from cement mills in America Every year this vast quantity of potash, equivalent to 100000 tons of high grade German potash, is lost through the flues of the factories making ce- ment Ninety per cent. of this pot ash may be recovered, and at a low cost.
 Formerly this valuable product was blown out in the form of flue dust, and in many cases was a positive nui- sance. Now the dust is precipitated by one method or another and treat ed to recover the potash which it con- tains.
 Potash is one of the important ma terials used in making commercial fertilizers. For years Germany has controlled most the worlds output, and the coming of the war saw us shut off from this much needed plant food Since that time many crops have suf- fered .acutely from potash starvation For time it seemed as if we must always depend on Germany for this valuable material, but the activities of American chemists in utilizing waste pl oducts and opening up new sources now bid fair to make us entirely inde- pendent of this German monopoly.

STOCK MARKET

New York, June 19.---Opening. Equipments and specialties led the general list to higher levels at the opening of today's stock market, traders passing their moderately bull ish operations ou further favorable war news. American Locomotive, Crucible Steel, Republic Iron, General Motors and Wilson Packing rose 1 to 1-2 points. Tobaccos again showed variable tendencies with shippings. Interest in railroads centered around minor coalers, notably Pittsburg &
 Noon-The market lost much of its breadth and activity after the first half hour, leaders developing irreg- ular tendencies. Dealings in rail- roads were almost wholly limited to low grade coalers. Equipments and war shares reacted variably on light offerings and some of the more specu- lative specialties fell sharply. Fore most among these was Royal Dutch Oil, which broke 13 points on sin gle sale. Prices stiffened again al noon under lead of United States Steel and Reading. Liberty 3 ks sold at 99.54 to 99.60, the first As at 94.24 the second As at 94.12 to 94,24 and the 4As at 96 to 96.10.

additional burden; but there is nev- ertheless much criticism concerning the injustices and confusion of the present law; also fear that unless the new taxes are judiciously ap- piled, they will dry up the sources of revenue and new capital. For some reason there is much distrust in the competence of Congress to draw up fair and effective measure and much more confidence is exhibited in Sec retary McAdoo's proposals, severe as they seem to be.
 In financial circles there has been distinctly better feeling. This was induced by a growing conviction of German defeat, by the easier money situation and by further improvement in the crop outlook. This latter ap- plies not only to cotton and wheat, for which big yields are probable and record yields possible; but also to nearly all the cereal crops, which are doing splendidly. Nature has also been kind to the farmers of Britain and France, so that our Allies need have little anxiety about food SUD- plies for the coming year; 8 situa- tion in strong contrast with the enemy, whose food supplies are scant and have not been augmented as expected from newly conquered territory. Industrial activity is also running at top speed in all industries related to war directly or indirectly Labor in such industries is well em- ployed and often receiving extraordin- ary wages, which are usually freely spent. The only lines in which there is any shrinkage in demands are the curtailment of non-essential things and in building operations, which are lit tie more than one-third in volume compared with a year ago. There is still a great deal of confusion aris' | ing from the steady expansion of Gov ernment control of business; but this is due not so much to unwillingnesE among merchants and manufacturers as to the inexperience of officials who are often being too suddenly thrust into positions of responsibility. The future of the market will of course be chiefly influenced by news from the front and from Washington.

THE AVENGING
 OF EDITH CAVELL

In The Red Cross Magazine for July there is an article by MT. T. Top ping, the former private secretary to Hon. Brand Whiuock at the time he was American Minister to Belgium:
 In this article he writes:
 While the wave of horror and lothing that swept the civilized world at the news of the murder of Miss Cavell spent itself in screeching headlines and helplessly bitter com ment, in the heart of Louis Bril- it assumed a more concrete form.
 One night while engaged in a game of chess with his friend, the school master, in the little room that he oc- cupied on the top floor of an old building in Ixelles, where he kept out of sight of the Germans, Bril- sud- denly whipped out two automatic re- volvers from hs pockets - Drown eengs he called then-and said to his startled opponent:
 "One of the pills (pruneaux) in this browneeng is for the man who betrayed Miss Cavell and I shall never rest until I get him.
