The public safety commission OF
Faribault county, Mimi, recommends
that the organizers of the Nonpartisan
league be barred from all places OF
public gathering in the county. The
commission had learned that these or
ganizers are holding meetings in the
school houses and will attempt to hold
meetings in every township and dis
trict
This public safety commission in
Minnesota evidently considers the
league and its meetings dangerously
disloyal 1t refers to the convention
of the league in ST. Paul which was adj
dressed by r. NJ La Toilette, who the
public safety commission says, in the
course of his remarks made the mos1
seditious and unpatri6tic speech re
corded in this state" Then the com
mission advises:
Whereas, In these wartimes, it
is highly important that all of the
citizens of Faribault county put
forth every possible effort to
stamp out disloyalty and to pro-
mote patriotism; and

BE it further resolved, That we

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Sioux City Journal: And after
arresting the kaiser, and having the
jury trial to which every man is
alienably entitled, there would re-
main the dread alternatives of shoot
ing him outright or of turning him
over to Judge Wade for little
falherly talking to.
Donnellson Review: Since Fuel
Administrator Garfield issued his
sweeping closing order we have been
wondering if that section of the
order referring to the closing of
places OF amusement would affect the
sittings of the congressional inyesti-
eating committee. or whether they
would avoid it by removing Senator
Reed from the committee.
Davenport Democrat: When old
Bill Stone and old Boies Penrose,
politicians of the school of a quarter
Of century ago, gave their exhibit

Neither of them speaks for the coun-
try. and whatever they say in their
narrow prejudice and political peev-
ishness needn't bother the rest OF us.
Cedar Rapids Republican: We are
now all beginning to see that it
would have been an act of monumental
FOLLY to have assembled the state
legislature this winter. Bat few
papers, and some of them in Des
Moines. are still trying to make out
that the governor showed he was
wet" or something else when he re-
fused to bow to the dictates of those
who would have session-if for
nothing more than TO fill up the Des
Moines hotels When the legislature
meets once in two years ii is often
enough. It costs money to assemble
!! couple of hundred law makers and
start them into doing business, and
it would cost a great deal more be-
fore an adjournment would have been
| possible.
Upton Conservative: The careless
manner in which some papers allude
TO a fourth or fifth rate profess
sional man as one of the best in the
state doesn't fool even the fellow
they are talking about.

TODAYS BIT OF VERSE
WINTER TWILIGHT.

Soft-sandIed twilight, handmade OF the night,
Before noble lady's radiant face
Doth slowly with gentle, quiet pace,
And draweth and azure curtains light
Around couch so pure, so white.
Wherein her mistress will rest, with grace
Celestial she doth every trace
Of toll daily soil doth hide from sight
So would that before thy face my love
Might gently move. and ever from above
Such tender beauty draw about thy way
That when thou Hest down TO nightly rest
Earhthougts should fade. and there should only stay
The peace of heaven within thy tranquil breast

GENERAL MOTORS
TO BUILD NEW
TRACTOR PLANT

A big tractor plant at GAINESVILLE,
Wis. will be one of the first results
of the Janesville Machine Company's
joining forces with the General No
tors Corporation, according to an an
nouncement made today. The James,
willie Machine Company retains its
present organization and tillage tools
factories, but becomes the midwest
farm machinery unit OF the General
Motors Corporation.
]. A. Craig, general manager of
the Janesville Machine Co., will have
charge of the new tractor plant For
this, a site of 125 acres on the south
side of GAINESVILLE has been obtained.
1t is bounded on all sides by railroad
lines, including the Chicago & North
western and the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul. The location will af-
ford fine shipping facilities and other
advantages having a bearing on the
manufacturing and marketing of farm
machines. The plant will be built as
soon as men and materials can be
procured.
The new tractors will include q size
and power for every need. The
Janesville Machine Company was es-
tablished in 1850. The reputation of
its products and its advanced methods
OF business in the implement field
were determining factors in its selec-
tion by the General Motors Corpora
tion to carry forward its tractor en-
terprise.

ONLY AMERICANS
MAY HOLD JOBS
IN TRUCK PLANT

In keeping with the spirit OF the
times, the AII-American Truck Com
pany has conceived the All-American
Idea. which is the greatest and most
thoroughly All-AmeriCan movement
that has ever been inaugurated in
the history of motor trucks move
ment that embodies certain princi-
Piles that are bound to be the future
fundamental basis on which trucks
viii be built and sold.
This typical Yankee" idea is an ir-
every operation of the company.
Every development OF the business
involves the direct application OF this
patriotic principle.
This X1l-American Idea is briefly
summarized in Mr.. Spears own
words:
"In our modern factory, only Amer
lean citizens are employed-only
parts that are made In America are
used in the manufacture of our
Super-Trucks. Our entire sales or
zanization is comprised solely of
American representatives, distribu-
tors. dealers and statesmen.
For the period OF the war. ALL
American Super-Trucks are sold for
service directly connected with the
general Iwar program.
american ingenuity, which can be
depended upon to decide the worlds
struggle. in our favor, gains both
strength and momentum from the ap-
plication of scientific principles, from
the coordination of the various in
dustries and the cooperation of all
Of the forces OF labor.
''The All-American Idea produces a
maximum result through the appli-
cation of scientific principles by these
forces of unQuestioned loyalty, and 1
believe that the-extension of this idea
TO other lines OF industry, and its
support by numerous associations of
srade and commerce throughout the
United States will be but a natural
result
This plan can be applied with
equal success in solving the inter-
city haulage problems for the relief
OF the railroads in short hauls where
motor express routes are being estab-
iished and trucks operated on regular
schedules. This form of transporta-
tion is rapidly becoming more popu-
lar each day, affording better facili-
ties aud greater dispatch"
