CAPTAIN GEORGE HOPKINS
RECEIVERS FROM INJURIES
RECEIVED ON BATTLEFIELD

Mrs. j. F. Hopkins of Westport has
recently received letter from her
son Capt. George Hopkins, dated
France, Sept. 18th, in which he state
ed that he hoped they were as well
as he was. Herald readers will recall
that word was received from the war
department short time ago that the
gallant young officer had been ser
iously wounded while leading his men
in action, and the announcement that
George is again able to take up his
battle for worldwide humanity will
be cheering news to his many friends.
Late word from Neil also indicates
that he is we'll. He has had his
stripes den6ting six months foreign
service for nearly three months. He
has been promoted to the position of
corporal.
Graham, the younger brother, who
was the mainstay of the Sank Centre
high school football team last year,
has been confined with an attack of
influenza, but he too is recovering.

HOOVER ORDERS WEEKLY PUR-
CHASE OF SUGAR DISCONTIN- :
UED-WILL BE BIG SAVING

Washington, Oct. 14-Householde
will be required to purchase theil
sugar semimonthly instead of weekly
and on a monthly allowance basis be-
ginning Oct. Is.
This new regulation issued.by Food
Administrator Hoover, is expected to
save 200,000,000 pounds of sugar a
year. Mr.. Hoover thinks there will be
sufficient sugar to supply the Allies
as we'll as the United States on the
present monthly allowance of two
pounds per person.
Mr.. Hoover calls attention to the
possible shortage of the coffee supply.
He believes there will be sufficient
supply of coffee if wastefulness in
brewing the beverage is. eliminated.
MANY people were unconsciously
breaking the regulation of sugar
by purchasing their sugar on the
basis of one-half pound per capita per
week." said Mr.. Hoover. Con this
basis of four weeks to the month
there would be only 48 weeks to the
year, or 1856 days. This would leave
20 days, or practically another month
during which sugar would be con-
sumed on a basis of two pounds per
capita. With a population of 100,-
100000 people, this would require
about an additional 200,000,0O0
pounds of sugar"

ANOTHER LESUEUR LETTER
BETRAYs INTEREST IN l. W. W.
ANTI-DRAFT LAW MOVEMENT

The Herald again places before its
readers conclusive and undisputed
evidence that the secretary of the
Nonpartisan League, Arthur lie Sueur
is an I. w. w. by preference and as
ISOLATION.
The evidence is in shape of an
other letter written by. LIE Sueur to
w. D. Haywood, convicted chief OF
the I. w. w. written on June 20,
1917, fully ten weeks AFTER war
had been declared by President Will
son. The only excuse for the first
letter which referred to "this damned
war businss" and urged that their
efforts should be centered against
SPY BILLS and CONSCRIPTION,
was that it was written ONLY one
day before President Wilson issued
his proclamation. The apologists for
LIE Sueur, however, did NOT mention
the fact that the United States had
been at war with Germany to all in
tents and purposes for two months
before war was officially declared.

SAUK CENTRE SOLDIER DIES
OF SPANISH INFLUENZA AT
JEFFERSON BARRACKS, MO.

Mrs. Iris Betz received the startl-
ing news early Tuesday morning that
her husband, Albert E. Betz, was
seriously i'll with Spanish influenza at
Jefferson Barracks, Mo.
Mrs. Betz left on the afternoon
train for the bedside of her soldier
husband. About 6 o'clock another
wire was received announcing the
death of Mr.. Betz. His wife left Min
neapolis Tuesday evening about nine
o'clock and arrived in st. Louis about
three Wednesday afternoon.
The deceased had been a resident
of Sank Centre a little over year.
He was a native Of Minnesota and
about 20 years of age. He was united
in marriage to Miss Iris Garfield, June
IL, 1917, at the home of Mrs. Clara
Smith, St. Paul. He was indicted in
to military service about two weeks
before his death, and had not been
assigned to any particular branch of
the service. During his short resi-
dence here he made many friends who
extend sincere sympathy to his heart
broken wife. ~.--s
The remains will be brought to
Sank Centre for burial. Because of
the indefinite time of their arrival no
funeral arrangements Can be announc-
ed. If the Home Guards are released
from their fire fighting duties in the
northern part of the state in time no
doubt the services will be under
military auspices.

DELIBERATE FALSEHOOD
CIRCULATED SERIOUSLY HIM
DERS LOAN SUBSCRIPTIONS

Persistent efforts are being made
throughout the state, to misrepre-
sent the nature and purpose of Or
der No. Al issued by the Public
Safety Commission. 1t is made to
appear that the order relates only
to farmers and that all others, such
as bankers, merchants and other
classes of business men are exempted
from the proceedings outlined in the
order.
It is plain on the face of it that
this is nothing but wilful misrepre-
sentation, which cannot but give aid
and comfort to the enemy, even if
that is not the primary purpose of
the malicious falsehood. A conclu-
sive refutation of this last specimen
of Hun propaganda has been fur
nished by the secretary of the Safety
Commission in a brief letter in re-
Spouse to communication calling
his attention to the pernicious state
ments spread broadcast throughout
the state and which cited evidence to
the effect that loan subscriptions had
been materially reduced in some ru-
raj communities as the result of such
false differences and vicious leader
ship. The secretary's letter is as
follows:
"Order No. A was not directed at
any one other than Liberty Loan
slackers.' The word farmer does
not appear in the order; and the as
sumption of the leaders of the Town
ley organization is for no other pur-
pose than to further mislead the
loyal farmers of the state. The order
is aimed at those who disregard the
opportunity and privilege of subscrib-
ing for bonds to aid the government
in this crisis without regard to occu-
patton. The farmers throughout the

Washington, Oct. 16.-About $780,
600 refugees are making their way
from Lille, Roubaix and other Belgian
towns near the front lines to the
Dutch frontier in an effort to escape
into Holland.
Messages received by Chairman
Hoover of the Commission for Relief
in Belgium said arrangement had been
made for food, clothing and shelter
upon their arrival at the frontier.
Should the Germans in retreating
from Belgium seize the internal food
supply, consisting of crops now ready
for harvest and the few remaining cat
tie, the situation, the messages said,
would be serious. To meet such a
possibility the relief commission has
shipped 10000 tons of foodstuffs to
Rotterdam in the last month.

purpose to contribute. Articles should
be left at the Red Cross Sewing rooms
in the Junior High school building.
It is not intended or expected that

show their appreciation is to come to
the immediate and substantial relief
of their neighbors, and no doubt they
will. In view of the fact that Con-

zeal Journal, mental hygiene as prac-
ticed among the soldiers is given the
prominence it deserves, and, profiting
by the experience of England and
France in the present war, the sur,
geon general was impelled to inaugu-
rate an elaborate organization, both
in number and plan, to take care Of
any mental disturbances detected in
the camps or among the soldiers dur
ing the war. This is distinct inno-
walton in the medical army work, for

It Isn't FooIproof.

Crowds who had gathered to wit
ness an intercollegiate boat race on
the Housatonic river in Connecticut
recently also saw a young man and
woman drowned by the overturning
of canoe which had ventured into
the wash of fast motorboat.
The canoe is an invention Of our
first families-the American Indians.
1t is absolutely unrivaled for trav-
ersing inland waterways, where shall
low water may be met or portages
required. For lack of such a native
contrivance many large rivers In
South America remain unexplored to
this day. Portaging a waterlogged
"dugout" weighing 1000 pounds or
more is apt to discourage any party
not having Roosevelt at it's head.
Yes, the canoe is the first great
American invention. But 1t can never
be made foolproof. Rochester Times

In the opening Of the war. when the
English were treating the captured
German officers as courteous enemies,
one Of these devices, it is said, was
made use Of for getting information
out of England, with respect to Eng
lish destrOyers, their number and
equipment. An officer pretended to be
interested in the English game of
golf. He endeavored to learn it and
appeared to be exceedingly enthusi-
astic. The letters whichehe was per-
mitted to send out to his wife in Dres-
den were filled with details Of the
game, which permitted an abundance
of figures on strokes and distances.
Important information with respect to
the English admiralty was conveyed to
the German staff through the medium
of the apparently harmless letters of
this convert to the English game. The
book used for the cipher was a certain
English edition Of Shakespeare, Of
which there was copy in the Dres-
den public library.-Everybody's.

Stole Sugar by BucketfuIs.

Sugar thieves employed an ingenious
method the other day at Launceston.
Australia. A quantity Of sugar had
been bought for export but, ships not
being Immediately available, it was de-
cided to store the stuff at the port. Ac-
cordingly huts were built on the
wharves, but as the decking had shrunk
somewhat, tarpaulins were first laid
down, and then the sugar bags
placed on this. The doors were
locked, and a Waterman placed in
charge. When the time came to empty
the sheds the bottom tier of bags
were found fiat and empty, with a slit
in the under side. Each slit CORE
sponded with one In the tarpaulin d.
rectly over spaces in the planking. The
method Of the sugar thieves was SIM
pie. When the tide was about half
way up the piles, a boat was taken
under the wharves as near as possible
to the stores, and then 1t was only
matter Of crawling over the ties, knife
and bucket in hand, until the right
spot was reached.

FRUIT SAVES SUGAR

All ripe fruits contain sugar. The
amount varies from about three ounces
or one-ffth cup per pound in fresh figs
and plums to about one-half ounce per
pound in watermelon.
If the water is driven off from fruits
as in the drying process, the sugar
becomes far more prominent than it
is in fresh fruits. Dried fruits, there
fore, taste far sweeter than fresh ones
and are for this reason often classed
among the sweets. It should be re-
membered, however, that sugar is
present in all fresh fruits, even in the
most acid ones, and that those persons
who wish. to do so can economic on
other kinds of sugar by eating large
amounts of fresh fruits in unsweet-
ened forms.
In warm weather melons and other
fruits may be used in place of "made''
deserts, which usually contain both
butter and sugar. Fruit and ice-cold
junket, which can be prepared from
skim milk, make a refreshing dessert
and utiliz perishable foods chiefly.
Or the dessert course may be omitted
entirely And a fruit salad with cottage
scheese may be used in its place.

Atmospheric Pressure.

"When a high altitude, say 1900
feet, has been reached says L. j..
Wilson, airplane expert, writing in
a Southern newspaper, "there is an
atmospheric pressure equal to about
one-half that at sea level. The effect
of this lessening of pressure is no.
ticeable to one who for the first time
experiences it. At about $4,000 feet
there were physical sensations at
once experienced by the writer, that
of increased blood pressure and the
exertien following exercise being the
most apparent. The altitude. whether
attained in mountain climbing or by
airplane, to certain extent produces
the same effect upon the organism,
the amount differing with various in
dividuals." e"<~
