FACING OUR WAR PROBLEMS
Ry a, Woman

We womell-nlany of us-are farmerettes these
war days. And yet what woman whose small
girlhood was romped away 20 or more years ago
got by unscolded-for trying to copy her broth
ers? Twenty years ago mothers had not been
taught that the young of the species are first
of all little animals, who if they are to grow into
gentle-man-and-wom must become physi-
cally strong through exercise-litte girls as well
as little dogs. So
"Whistling girls and Growing hens 4.....
Always come to dreadful ends
e. So you were admonished- after you had
spent many secret hours tip-toe before looking
glass, screwing up your face into tuneless at
tempts that finally resulted in fair imitation
of some boys whistle. +. - ~ J.
But that was 20 years ago-and today we are
at war And the little girl hearts that then beat
under prim ruffles are now woman hearts that
throb under the smock of war-garden Jumpers.
And many farmer all over the land, is chuckling
to himself: S.. +t...... !
$"Whistng girls and good fat sheep i: e.z .<

We women are whistling AIN right, not before
looking glasses that reflect only ourselves but by
the side of outgoing trains that whirl away our
dearest and best, and later before casualty lists.
OH 1t takes just about all we've got, after
one Of those white nights we spend kneeling be-
side our pillows, to face the next days work with
lips steady enough to whistle: But we can do it.
When the tears and the fears must have their
way, let it be in private. For the sake Of the
war-winning working day, for the sake of the
harvest Of field factory, and kitchen, for the sake
of each soldier we've sent and the strength of
the army we're backing, it's heads up, women Of
America, eyes front! Whistle! a@, 4

THE PATHS OF GLORY

1.-THE paths of glory lead but to the grave"
That, written years and years ago, is as true
this day as it was when Gray penned the words.
The aviator makes his first flight. He brings
down to earth his first Hun. He achieves his fifth
victory high in the air and becomes an "ace." He
flies aloft again and again to gain information
for his brothers in arms and to blind the eyes
of the enemy. He becomes super-ace, king of
the air, and-"the paths of glory lead HIM to
the grave" II
The Yank in khaki goes over the top, empties
the Hun trench of foemen, and the American line
is moved toward Berlin just so much nearer He
\ goes across No Mans Land again and presses on
He waits in his trench through torrent of artil-
lery fire and repels the German attack. And
then, some day, some Of them 60 on along the
paths Of glory to their graves. .
Private Gresham, the first Yank to tread those
paths on French soil, and Private Guyton, the
first Yank to 60 to his death on German soil, but
lead the way through those fields of glory to
graves honored, and graves which never will be
forgotten. Until the Hun is beaten down this
procession OF heroes will continue in unending
and eyer-increasing numbers. ss&
For it is true:
The paths of glory lead but to the grave"
50 do ALL OTHER paths lead to the grave.
The towards path leads to the grave-an union,
ored grave; and the traitors path ends at the
grave-a dishonored grave . <.
1t is because all paths lead to the grave that
they who are courageous of heart seek rather the
pathway Of glory and follow it to the end It is
on such graves that the very foundation of lib
erty and freedom and justice is erected. It is of
such lives that great nations are born, and great
nations endure.

l sincerely hope that the people Of
North Dakota have another crop like
that Of 1915. 1t would mean whole

Prices of most everything over here.
naturally are very high. Meat is es,
pecially high as are also eggs and
butter. Eggs sell for 6 frs per doz or
about $40 in our money. Candy is
an unknown quantity and American
cigarettes are also very scarce. About
the only thing that is cheap is wine
and the British soldiers tell us that
the price has more than doubled since
their arrival in France.
! am mighty glad to hear that Mr..
Steen has decided to: run for governor
and sincerely hope that he will Win
out. Kindly give him my best re-
CARDS and we'll wishes. wish that it
were possible for me to be there dur

things are progressing and what the
outlook is for victory.

WITH THE EDITORS
( WHAT or THE WORKOUT WORKER

WHAT or THE WORKOUT WORKER
Some of the leaders of organized labor, fol
some reason or another, have SHE'D at the idea Of
public health insurance insurance, that is, to pro
tect the worker against the hazards of sickness
IS workingmen's compensation laws protect him
against the hazards Of. accident. ;.ii.s..
1t is significant, therefore, that report favor.
ing health insurance was unanimously adopted al
he recent st. Paul convention of the American
Federation of Labor. This report, from the exectl
i've council, follows: ~ .s...a5> 5ss ,s II
The enactment of workmen's compensation y
: laws By number of states is now being fol-
lowed by the development of favorable SEN
I timent for the enactment of health insurance
laws. Already legislation of this kind has
been considered by number of state legisla-
lures and in addition commissions have been
created for the purpose Of making an exhaus-
tive study of the subject and report to4their
respective legislative branches thereon
Central bodies and state declarations of
labor in several places have been studying
this question. Some of them have approved
the principle while others are supporting
laws providing for universal health nsur-
ance. y s,. 4 .. .s /.
The organized labor movement approved
the enactment of workmen's compensation
legislation. Their approval of that legislation
was based upon the theory that when the
earning power; Of the worker was impaired by
reason of an industrial accident, he or his de-
pendentss should be compensated during the
time he was suffering from said injury. The
same rule holds good when the worker be-,
comes incapacitated through illness particu-
larly illness due to trade or occupation. He
and his family suffer through the impair
ment of his earning power just the same when
he is i'll as when he sustains an injury. The
organized labor movement of America ought
to formulate program upon this subject. -
By unanimous vote the executive councilwas
authorized to take up this subject with
view to securing legislation, and therefore we
shall hear much more about it in the future
than we have in the past.
Plans for carrying out the health insurance ide.
vary widely, but any plan that is adopted shoult
divide the cost Of it fairly between the employee
and the worker, with the public contributing
through the government if possible. The justice
of the principles Isl unacceptable the heed Of it
application is beyond doubt. Duluth Herald.
