Theodore C..JOhnson.

Theodore c.. Johnson passed away
at the home of his father, Christie
pher G. Johnson, in Wyanett, on
Thursday, June ~. He was 28 years
Of age and for two years had been
a constant sufferer. Up to within a
week of his death he was cared for
at his home in Princeton.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Geer on Saturday afternoon and
Misses Myrtle Nelson and Hazel Seal
berg sang three hymnal selections.
The interment was in the Swedish
Mission cemetery.
Theodore G.. Johnson was born in
Wyanett on February 10, 1890, and

to Miss Eva Wright. He is survived
by his wife and one son, Guy; his
father, Christopher johnson; five
brothers, Erick, David, Peter, John and
William; and five sisters, Anna, Mary,

Flat Feet Bosh.

United States Senator Howard
Sutherland Of West Virginia tells a
story about a mountain youth who
visited recruiting office in the sena
tors state for the purpose of enlisting
in the regular army. The examining
physician found the young man sound
as dollar but that he had fiat feet.
"I'm sorry" said the physician, "but
I'll have to. turn you down. You've
got flat feet"
The mountaineer looked sorrowful.
"No way for me to get in it, them"
he inquired.
81 guess not. With those flat feet Of
yours you wouldn't be able to march
even five miles,"
The youth from the mountains

"I'll tell you why hate this SO darned
bad. You see, walked nigh on to LIE
miles over the mountains to get here
and gosh, how hate to walk back!'

Nothing Too Good for Our Boys.

We know it is quite an undertaking
for one little village like Princeton to
care for all the drafted men from the
county who are called to training
camps-to see that the boys do not
leave empty handed. The whole coun-
ty should assist, and fund should be
raised for that purpose. The boys who
go are making the supreme sacrifice.
Let we who remain xt home show our
appreciation. It is the least we can
do. Comfort kits" and Testaments
are all right, but each boy should be
presented with small sum of money
to tide him over until the first pay day
rolls around. Some of the boys are
not overburdened with wealth. All
of them, we are sure, will appreciate
the little kindnesses shown them and
carry with them pleasant reconections
of their home county. There is. moth
ing too good for our boys.

Why Wait?

The remarks of George B. Leonard,
probably the ablest among Minneap-
oils socialists, incident to the resigna-
ton from the socialist party Of Allen
S. Benson, its candidate for president
in 1915, emphasize point that must
be kept clearly in mind in considering
the candidacy Of any socialist for
political office. Mr.. Leonard says:
What I shall do will depend upon
the socialist national convention in
August. At that time the reputation
of the st. Louis platform will be taken
under consideration. Until then,
will do nothing in the matter. That
action will doubtless govern me-.
Mr.. Benson, who should know, left
the party declaring that it was con-

that can be done is by ascribing sinis-
ter motives to the press. The perfect
day for the demagogue will be that
day when he can persuade the people
to believe nothing fact unless pre-
sented by himself. That, Of course,
is the purpose Of the Townley string
Of publications, frankly financed by
him and in his own interest. These
are about the only known specimens
in Minnesota Of that much talked Of

make their mistakes, but when the

The Loyal Country Press.

The Minnesota primaries demon
strated once more what has already
been demonstrated time and again in
the history of the United States. That
is, whenever the American people are
awake to situation and are placed in
full possession of the facts, the con-
clusion which they will reach and ex-
press by the ballot will be sound and
correct. In the campaign just closed,
the voters Of the state, aroused by the
suggestion that a candidate for the
governorship and his hackers failed to
measure up to the full standards of
loyalty, sought the facts, found the
charges warranted and overwhelming
ly repudiated Mr.. Lindbergh at the
polls.
One great factor in producing this
result was the country press Of the
state. Alive to the seriousness of the
crisis, the country editors without re-
gard to partisanship, or personal or
business considerations, threw them
selves Fundamentally into the work
of placing before the people of their
communities the fact regarding A. G.
Townley, his league and his candi-
dates. And they did not wait until
the outcome of the fight was clear.
They committed themselves to the
cause Of loyal government at time
when every indication was that it was
a losing fight. Probably in every case
this step cost patronage and revenue.
It was done without any hope or desire
Of reward other than to assist in keep
ing Minnesota in the straight road of
loyalty and out of the morass of pro-
German socialism. The loyal people of
Minnesota owe debt of gratitude to
their country editors.
That is what makes particularly un-
just the constant reiteration by Town
ley and his ilk, of trades against the
8 kept press" OF course, these TRADES
have a generally understood purpose
Ia vital one to the demagogue. The
great obstacles in his path are facts.
H he is to succeed it can only be by
persuading the public that what they
read are not facts. The simplest way

Temporary Halt Asked.

Response to the second war fund
campaign has been so generous that it
would seem to all accounts desirable
to have our chapters refrain from any
further solicitation Of funds from the
public for Red Cross purposes for some
months to come" is the message re-
ceived from Frank Heffelfnger, chair
man Of the northern division of the
American Red Cross, from George E.
Scott, acting general manager of the
Red Cross.
AS Mr.. Scott explained: eve have
reports from some sections Of the
country that special contributions are
being solicited in some cases by aux
iliaries Of chapters who undertake to
finance their activities independent of
the chapter, and the impression Gre
ated by the attempt to raise such
funds, following so closely upon the
war fund campaign, is apt to be UNI
fortunate. We are apt, also, to be
closely criticised if, too soon after the
war 1und campaign, the pubic is asked
to patronize entertainments of one
sort or another for the benefit of the
Red Cross"
Mr.. Scott asked the northern divi--
sion to write to its chapters, urging
on them the desirability of cutting.
down entertainments for the next few.
months, and Of stopping all attempt to,
raise additional money. He said:
"There are cases of auxiliaries which
are supported by some regular plan of
contributions by their own member
ship, and we are not suggesting that.
this arrangement be interfered with
where it is agreeable to the chapter
and the auxiliary"

FLAG DEDICA ZION.
Rev. w. B. Milne Dedicates Service Flag
in an Excellent Address at
Congregational Church.
Twenty Eight Stars on Flag Repre-
sent "a Young Men and 4
Red Cross Nurses.

Many people, including several old
soldiers, gathered at the. Congrega-
tlonal church on Sunday evening to
participate in the patriotic exercises
connected with the dedication of a
service flag. The church was prettily
decorated and the flag stood out
prominently from a position directly
over the pulpit.
Rev. Milne gave a short patriotic
address Introductory to the dedication
exercises and following this R. P. Nor
ton read the honor roll, which con-
tanned the names Of "a young men
and four young ladies who are in the
service Of their country. The men
were represented by blue stars and
the ladies Cred Cross nurses) by red.
The dedication address, by Rev. w.
B. Milne, was splendid tribute to
the women of the Red Cross and the
boys in khaki who are devoting them
selves to the cause of humanity and
freedom. It was an address which
emanated from the very soul Of the
man who delivered TIA man who is
loyal to the core and who is teaching
loyalty upon every day Of the week.
Rev. Milne explained that the honor
roll contained some who were not ac-
tual members Of the Congregational
church, but that they had either wor-
SHIPPED there or attended the Sunday
school, and, so far as it was possible
to ascertain, had not affiliated with
any other church.
Music was furnished by the mems
chorus, consisting Of DR.. Stacey, Gro
yer Umbehocker, Adna Orion, j. w.
Mossman, Don Evans, Lem Briggs, A.
G. Osterberg, H. A. Garrison and j.
IF. Peterson, with Mrs. Milne, pianist.
The service closed with the singing of
verse from the old hymn, "Blest be
the tie that binds,' and benediction by
the pastor.
Following is list of the names of
those represented on the service flag,
to which more will shortly be added:
