South. Dakota, however, last year

that South Dakota must look to North

Neither Minnesota nor Wisconsin,

drawn down the anthracite mine

Dear Sir:
r 1 acknowledge receipt of your favor
of the 18th inst but doubt whether
can render you any assistance In the
matter to which you refer. The Min
nesota court has always kept up with
it's work, though overtime exertions
have at times been necessary. We
think we have improved our practice
in the last year or two, and thereby
overcome some of the laws delay,
which in some measure attended the
former procedure. Under our new
system an appeal, when once taken
on, an automatic movement through
the court, stopping only when the final
decision is made and filed. The appel
ant is required by rule to print and
serve the record and his brief within
a stated time after the notice of ap-
peal is served, in default Of which his
appeal by the ex parte order of the
court will be dismissed or the order
or judgment appealed from affirmed
as the court may direct. This makes
a continuous procession of ~'lls

accumulated we assign them for argu

NON.ESSENTIAL FOODS

Alfred H. Beckmann, secretary OF the Ma
tional Wholesale Grocers' association, sees the old
family coffee pot growing rusty from non-use.
1--WE will dispense with the use of coffee now
being imported from foreign countries" he says,
'in order that thosesshlps maybe used to- trans
port our troops over there and supplies for them
and our allies" ~ 4 a#% @ H.
He classes coffee and spices as "non-essen-
tia foods" and as such may be sacrificed in favor
of win-the-war foods.
With the banning Of spices our palates may
not be tickled as often as they have been accus-
toned, but on the other hand it is likely that some
Of us will not be persuaded by spicy odor to over
eat.
No one yet has accused coffee of adding
strength to the muscle, putting blood into the
arteries, or increasing the gray matter in the
Uranium. "A coffee famine can do the body no
harm, and it may give new lease on life to many
nervous system.
If the food administration decides to put COT
fee and sspice carrying ships at more essential
labor all right but at the same time Hoover should
lower the price limit bars upon all individuals and
firms who now have coffee and spices stored in
this country so that there can be no profiteering
because of the embargo.
We can do without coffee-and without COZ
fee profteers.

NOAH LOST HIS GRIP

NOAH LOST HIS GRIP
To perk up his shipbuiders, Chairman Hur-
ley gets off this:
"Noah was 600 years old before he knew how
to build an ark. Don't lose your grip!'
Hanged if we can see how Hurley's builders
are to get much inspiration from his holding that
ancient mariner up as shining example. Noah
had warning in advance and plans and material
at hand. He didn't have to think of U-boats
All he had to do was to build something that
would float while it rained. He did splendid job
for his times, but what he put together was
mere piano box compared to the modern big
freighter.
And, please, Mr.. Hurley, don't carry the Noah
example too far. According to Biblical account,
when he had finished his voyage, Noah set him
out vineyard and got boiling drunk on the juice
of the grape, which was shameful finish for
shipbuilder 600 years old, and over.

tours. The man on my left was named
'Pete Walling," CHEEKY sort Of fell
low. He laughed and joked all the
way on the march, buoying up my
dropping spirits. I could not figure out
anything attractive in again occupying
the front line, but Pete did not seem to
mind, said it was all in lifetime. Ny
left heel was blistered from the rub
bling Of my heavy marching boot. Pete
noticed that was limping and offered
to carry my rifle, but by this time I had
learned the ethics Of the march in the
British army, and courteously refused
his offer.
We had gotten halfway through the
communication trench, Pete in my i'm
mediate rear. He had his hand on my
shoulder, as men in communication
trench have to do to keep in touch with
each other. We had just climbed over
a bashed-in part of the trench when
in our rear man tripped over loose
signal wire, and let out an oath. AS
usual, Pete rushed to his help. To
reach the fallen man he had to cross
this bashed-in part. A bullet cracked
in the air and ducked. Then a moan
from the rear. My heart stood still.
I went back and Pete was lying on the
ground. BY the aid of my flashlight
I saw that he had his hand pressed to
his right breast. The fingers were COW
cred with blood. I flashed the light

Immediately above me came q drip;
drip, drip. Suicide Annex was a hole
eight feet wide, ten feet long and six
feet high. It was about twenty feet
below the fire trench; at least there
were twenty steps leading down to it.
These steps were cut into the earth,
but at that time were muddy and Slip
perry. A man had to be very careful
or else he would "shoot the chutes."
The air was foul, and you could cut
the smoke from Tommy's flags with a
knife. 1t was cold. The. walls and
roof were supported with heavy square
cut timbers, while the entrance was
strengthened with sandbags. Nails had
been driven into these timbers. On
each nail hung a miscellaneous assort-
ment Of equipment. The lighting ar
engagements were superb-one candle
ton tin. Ny teeth were chattering
from the cold, and the drip from the
airshaft did not help matters much.
While I was sitting bemoaning my
fate and wishing for the fireside at
home, the fellow next to me, who was
writing letter, looked up and inno-
Gently asked, "Say, Yank, how do You

From the darkness in one of the cor

would stop to cough, cough, cough, but

the sergeant, who asked me, "Where
in - ave you been?"
I made no answer, but sat on the
muddy fire step, shivering with the
cold and with the rain beating in my
face. About half an hour later I
teamed up with another fellow and
went on guard with my head sticking
over the top. At ten o'clock I was
relieved and resumed my sitting posi-
ton on the fire step. The rain sud-
denly stopped and we all breathed
sigh Of relief. We prayed for the morn

blue color was stealing over his coun-
tenance. Pete looked up at me and
said: "Well, Yank, they've done me in.
1 can feel myself going West" His
voice was getting fainter and had to
kneel down to get his words. Then he
gave me q message to write home to
his mother and his sweetheart, and I,
like a great big boob, cried like baby.
I was losing my first friend Of the
trenches.
Word was passed to the rear for a
stretcher. He died before it arrived.
Two of us put the body on the
stretcher and carried it to the nearest
first-aid post, where the doctor took
an official record of Pete's name, num-
Der, rank and regiment from his iden-
tity disk, this to be used in the cas-
ualty lists and notification to his
family.
We left Pete there, but it broke our
hearts to do so. The doctor informed
us that we could bury him the next
morning. That afternoon five Of the
boys of our section, myself included
went to the little ruined village in the
rear and from the deserted gardens Of
the French chateaux gathered grass
and flowers. From these we made a
wreath.
While the boys were making this
wreath, 1 sat under shot-scarred
