TRUTH ABOUT SOLDIERS

Mrs. Elizabeth Parks Hutchinson in
Association Mem bitterly resent the
dreadful things | hear people say
about soldiers, for | have never seen
a soldier accost a woman though |
have see dozens of women accost
soldiers. Loneliness and homesick-
ness make the boys victims of a
friendly smile, and goCd, wholesome
friendships under the auspices of the
y. NJ. C. A. huts will do much to help
the situation. |, an unmarried WON
an, spent five months with the British
armies, living in the camps most of
the time. and no nan ever said or
did one thing in my presence to which
| could take exception! Oh, am 50
proud of it, because people said that
the army was no place for a woman,
that ii couldn't be done, but it was.

ship. Mr.. Opdahl died in 1893, and in
1899 the widow moved to Brookings,
where she resided for two years. Then
from 1901 to 1912 she again resided
on her farm, going the latter year to
Volga to reside with the daughter
above named. Eleven children were
born to Mrs. Opdahl, eight of whom
grew up and five of whom are now liv-
ing. Mrs. Ida Leone, of Lodi, Wis,
George Opdahl Of Lake county, Adolph
Opdahl, Volga and Mrs. Tina Berry,
Walker, Mimi, were present at the
funeral. Norman Opdahl Of Montana,
could not be present.
The funeral occurred from the Vol
ga Lutheran church on Sunday, April
18th, the Rev. B. A. Benson of this city
officiating. Interment in the Volga

serve 1t, give it as tender care as we
do our children. The mar who owns
from five to twenty acres can do this.
The man who owns a section cannot.
more than two hundred years and is
more productive than much of the farm
land Of Iowa. My grandfather home
steaded a farm in Davis county, Iowa,
1913, seventy five years ago. 1t was
worn out when | was a boy, nothing
much left but yellow clay. We find
now that a certain amount of clay
mixed with soil and fertilization is a
good thing. The French farmer knows
this. He keeps his land fortified.
Nearly every acre is dotted with piles
of fertilization. The Lord only knows
where it all comes from.
To the French woman is credit due
for their beautiful homes. AS a class.
they are the most home-loving people
on earth. You remember Zola's book,
"LaTerre," The Land" and how he de-
scribcs the peasants love of the partic-
ular piece of land he could call home?
One Of his characters had been away
from his home for a long time, and
when he returned he fell upon his ma
tive soil as if to embrace it, smelled it
and tasted it. Particularly have the
French ONE a passion for their own
homes, for their neighborhood, their
little church, the countryside grave
yard which they beautify. The French
do not colOniZe or emigrate. In the
early days Of u country the men
went TO America as adventurous sol
dicrs, but their women did not 20, nor
did they follow. This accounts for the
French half-breeds in Canada and New
Orleans. There was a scatterment of
the ~Hugheonots from France but that
was an enforced migration on account
Of their religion. That, however, was
NE OHiy TolHlueIdule movement OF the
people out of their own coun-
try.
Think of these h~ome-loving people,
people who are content to abide in
their own country and develop it: a
people who have built the most beau
,iful home on earth; a liberty loving
people VINO three times in a little more
han a bundled years have d~ethroned
heir own monarches, think of such a
having to defend the land they
owe a second time in fifty years from
he Beast of Prussia who has his lair
n the heart Of Europe.

MRS. NELS OPDAHL DIES

Another Of the old residents of the
county, n who came in an early day
and w~eathered the storm days of the
pioneer life, has passed on to the
great beyond. On last Friday, Mrs.
Nels Opdahl died at her home in Vol
ga in the fullness of years. Since
1912 she has been living with a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Taylor, in Volga. Last fall
the daughter died and two little
granddaughter were living with Mrs.
Opdahl. Now they will go to live
with an aunt, Mrs. Ida Leone at Lodi.
Wis.
Sarah Sponheim was born in Hard
anger, Norway, May 18th, 1910. At
the age of thirteen she came to Amer
lea with her parents and they located
at Lodi, Wis. In 1860 she was united
in marriage with Nels Opdahl and
they came to Dakota Territory in 1881.

WOMAN AND THE HOUSEHOLD

man, beggar man and thief all know
that there is one thing which none OF
them can afford-that is to waste ever
so much as a crumb of bread. We
al must respect this loaf of bread.
Not a bit of it must be wasted.
Here in America where for years
there has been plenty and to spare
in foodstuffs, a single slice of bread
seemed an unimportant thing.
But now America is united with
England, France. Italy, Serbia and the
other Allies, in a great moral war, and
what is a sin for them is a sin for
US. In Serbia not so very long ago
a string of pearls would not buy a
loaf of bread.
A Serbian lady Of rank and great
wealth was among the men, women
and children fleeing before the Ger
mans. Her money and jewels had
been stolen, all except a pearl neck
lace worth hundreds of dollars: this
she had hidden beneath her dress.
She tried in vain to exchange this
necklace for even a loaf Of bread. But
bread could not be had at any price.
And in England to throw away a
piece of bread is a crime punishable
by the law. Late last summer a DO.
lice officer found in an ash can of a
prosperous English woman a piece of
bread. He reported this to the Off
Gals and she was fined twenty shill-
ings.
Another story Of the same kind is
of a restaurant keeper who threw
away $50 pounds of stale cake. The
proprietor was called before the Judge
and fined 500.
Certainly what is a crime in Eng.
land is wrong in America. The law
may not punish the individual in this
country, but for that very reason
there is and should be q more severe
punishment melted out to each and
every n of us by hat most highly
moral of all judges-our consciences.
When We throw away a slice of
bread. a half slice of bread or even
a crust of bread, we are directly tax
ing 1t from the plate of one of the
hungry Allies. The bread we waste
is causing some one to go hungry, and
we are failing incur duty to our coun-
try and to the world.

POLICING THE RETAILER

Every housewife can police the re.
tail grocer of her town. First, she
can see that they have the United
States Food Administration pledge
card display in their stores before she
consents to patronize them.
She can also check up on the prices
charged for standard foods, such as
meat, -four, sugar, potatoes. beans,
butter and apples, and if she finds she
is being overcharged she should re-
port 1t at once 10 her local Food Adj
ministrator.
Most local Food Administrators are
publishing from time TO time tables
of food prices based upon the actual
OF that community. At a glance the
housewife can see what the wholesal-
or charges the retailer and the lowest
price quoted by the retailer to the
consumer.
But | can't get such prices as those
where / trade" one woman said after
reading such a list in her evening pa
per.
Then she should change her grocer.
Proiteering should be reported and
the disloyal grocer should not be pat
ronized by patriotic housewives.

Rich man, poor man, beggar man,

ner? One may eat ~terrapin, while the
other eats onion, yet each one of these
men might quite readily cut a slice
of bread from exactly the same loaf.
