John Stems honesty has never be-
fore been questioned until his oppon-
ents picked up the insurance money
charge which they are now using, and
which is fully explained elsewhere in
this issue. John Steen is a good, hon
est, sturdy, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
citizen who has never touched dollar
of another mans money, and the
charge at this time has caused hun
dreds of men who otherwise would not
have supported him, to rally to his de-
tense.

GERMAN PAPER SEES THE
LIGHT

The Germania-Herald Of Milwaukee
is one of the leading German news
papers in this country. Until re-
Gently it has consistently and staunch-
ly upheld the contention of the Ger
man Government that Germany was
forced into the war by English jeal-
ousy of Germans commercial success
in foreign markets. But the reve-
lations of Prince Lichnowsky, Ger
man Ambassador in London, at the
outbreak of the war, and the ad-
missions of Won Jagow, former Ger

convinced the Germania-Herald that

Tom Hall made disgraceful at
tack on John Steen at Max where he
spoke the other day. This is the same
Tom Hall who yelled "Rotten" at the
Equity meeting at Bismarck couple
or three years ago but who got under
cover just as quick as he could when he
saw which way the political wind was
blowing. It i'll behooves Tom Hall to
say anything derogatory of a man
like John Steen, especially when there
isn't any truth in what he says. Tom
Hall made many votes for John Steen
at the Max meeting, farmer who at

Sometimes we can learn lessons
from little children A South Prairie
Red Cross worker visited a farm home
in Freedom township and the little
five-year- daughter followed him
into the field where he had gone to in
terview her father. She had her little
pocketbook containing so pennies, rep
resenting her savings for months,
which she insisted upon turning over
to the Red Cross. Asked if she realiz-
ed that it would mean that she would
have to go without candy she said
that she did, but that she wanted to
help the Red Cross. Even little tots
realize the Importance of assisting in

IEEP sHEARERs COMBINE?
Complaint on Prohibitive Charges is
Filed in Boise.

Constant demands for higher pay
for shearing of sheep and the charge
that statewide strengthening combina
ton was being perfected in the state
of Idaho are subjects of complaint
filed recently with the State Council
of Defense, in Boise, by j. B. Whitson,
chairman of the Gilmore county Council
of Defense, and an owner of sheep. 1t
was claimed that information is in pos
session of the sheepmen indicating that
if the shearers are successful they will
be making a wage equivalent to $50 per
day. The executive of the state coun-
Gil will confer with Washington authori
ties with regard to the situation to see
if some relief in shearers who will not
charge such prices can be secured.
Increases is Prohibitive.
Sheepmen say that the situation is
one of the most serious they have had
to face in their business. SheareTs are
getting Is cents head and with shear
ing machines they can shear from 200 to
300 head a day. They have made a de-
mand in the Gilmore county section for
an increase to 20 cents a head. In ad- |
iition, the boss of the crews who meets
the expense of boarding them is paid |
IN additional amount which would bring
he total charge head against the
'heepmen up to % cents. Threats have
1een made this price will be increased
Up to 35 cents.
Price of Wool Fixed.
The government has fixed the price on
he wool clip this year and that portion.
+ the Idaho clip the government does
ot take will be delivered to the fac !
cries at the same price. With the high /
ost of supplies of herders and shear S
RS, sheepmen claim they are getting [
very small margin of profit. If the ,
rice hoad is allowed to be increased ,
Dr. shearing they declare that they will |
e put in a position where it cannot s
ossibly be met. r
Agitators are also working among the Y
hearers, it is claimed, and they are 9
ausing trouble. O
A number of the sbeepmen have inn
'rted Mexicans into the state to do s
leir shearing and are not paying such
gh wages as those demanded by other >
carers.

tests at the Marine and In Picardy,
therefore have been tests of brain

that as tacticians in open fighting. the
Germans are inferior to the allies.
Democracy need have no uneasiness
over the gradual disappearance of
trenches. It was the Germans VINO
first dared the allies to come out and
it is the Germans who are now trying
to burrow back into the trenches
again. German military science Is at
its maximum efficiency when 1t Is

The time. however, has now come
when this policy can no longer be
followed Technical skill in open
