A Stacker down in St. Louis, recently mar
ried, decided he didn't care to go to war and
claims exemption from military duty on a pass
age from the scripture which reads Deut 24:5)
-"When man hath take new wife, he shall
not go out to war; neither shall he be charged
with any business, but he shall be free at home
one year and shall cheer his wife which he hath
taken" This fellow evidently possesses more
ingenuity than the average young fellow, but
he wound up in Class l just the same, the stern
and unsympathetic board evidently believing that
he had honey -mooned enough and in consequence
would make good soldier Such is life in these
stirring and strenuous war times.-Chaska Her

FACING THE DAWN.

IN the death -grapple of the nations today, i'm
/ periling all the foundations on which they
and their civilization rests, there are seeds
of promise. If many landmarks are being re-
moved; if darkening superstitions are reviving;
if ancient liberties apparently bleeding to
death if the prospect does seem gloomy and the
Babel of uncertain voices is confusing, there are
elements of hope in the general situation. For
when thrones crumble the truth that all gov
ernments rest on the consent of the governed
comes out of the flames new-burnished and bright
er than before. When superstitions prowl and
faiths tremble in the tempest the fact that the
sun of truth is about to shine becomes more and
more evident to the prescient mind.
Such mind-that Of Henry aWatterson-the
other day caught the blink of the sunshine and
embodied it in this utterance:
Surely the future looks black enough, yet it
holds hope, a single hope, One, and one
power only, can arrest the descent and save
u.s. That his is the Christian religion.
Democracy is but side issue. The para
mount issue, underlying the issue Of Democ-
racy, is the Religion of Christ and Him Cru
cited; the bedrock of Civilization the source
and resource of all that is worth having in
the world that is, that gives promise in the
world to come; not as an abstraction; not
as huddle of sects and factions; but as a
mighty force and principle of being. The
Word of God, delivered by the gentle Naz-
arene upon the hillsides of Judea, sanctfed
by the Cross of Calvary, has survived every
assault. It is arrayed upon land and
sea to meet the deadliest Of all assaults, Sat-
an turned loose for last, final struggle.
This is not time for fearsomeness, for
halting, limping or hesitating. 1t is time
for calm peering toward the coming dawn.

Some of these unpatriotic farmers who are
threatening to plant barley instead OF wheat
may find themselves confronted next fall or
spring by the same price conditions which now
confront the fellows who held their potatoes for
two dollars bushel last fall-and now can't get
rid of them for thirty cents. And not many OF
US will have any sympathy to waste upon them
if they are. The price of barley is not fixed
and of course it can slide down just as rapidly
as up.

THE GREAT ADVENTURE.

God, the Master Pilot,
Or gods, if such there be
Pour me no weakling's measure
When We pour the wine for me!
Of pain, of love, or pleasure,
I'll drain the draught We give;
Of good and i'll, give me the fill
Of the life you bade me live!
Spare me no tithe of favor,
With fortune pave my path,
Nor hold the hand of vengeance
When I deserve your wrath
Whatever fates ye send me,
Whatever cast the SKY,
Grant me the grace to live a man
And as man to die!
Upon the good l render
Let shine your proudest sun:
And rest me in the valleys
When my last trick is done.
For these, your utmost portions,
I'll pay the utmost toll,
So this, my life, become the great
Adventure of my soul!

There is no better time to work than early in
the morning and we heartily in accord with
the action of congress to set the clocks ahead
one hour and save daylight. That is just what
it amounts to. We will all put our tmepieces
ahead one hour, get up the next morning an hour
earlier than usual without realizing it, quit work
an hour earlier at night, and have an additional
hour of daylight to work in the garden, or for
any kind of recreation one may wish to indulge
in. It's great scheme and costs nothing

In recent address delivered at Chicago, Bishop
j. F. Busch of St. Cloud stated that in over a
year no meat had been consumed in his home
but one sack Of wheat flour and only twenty-five
cents worth of sugar. Here is an illustration
of real patriotism, that can be emulated by all
Although of German extraction, Bishop Busch's
attitude of extraordinary loyalty to his govern
ment, and it's affect upon parishes in his diocese
is shining example of what beneficial sentiment
churchmen can create. Passive loyalty, where
ever found, is objectionable.-New Ulm Journal

The agitation of class hatred and efforts to
organize class against class must inevitably re-
suit in disaster. The pitiable condition Of Rus

attempting to steer our ship of state.-Luverne

Don't stand and argue when the government

SMASH THE PROPAGANDA.

WILL smash the German line in France, if
| YOU will smash that damnable Hun propa-
ganda al home" Thus writes General Perish
ing. And when the great American soldier "takes
smash" at the German lines, he isn't going to
stop and debate about it either. At home, there
is a tendency to 'avoid unpleasantness' because
that is the goal of pursuing the line of least re-
sistance. 1t isn't fair to at the battle
front, to the officers in command of our army and
navy to the enlisted men in any branch of
the service for to- "pass up" duty because
its performance may involve some unpleasant
ness or some trouble. Our duty is not begun
until we make it individual business, to aid
in the smashing of the Hun propaganda wheth-
er the process is pleasant unpleasant wheth-
er it concerns men in high social or financial
standing in the common walks of life.
Every form of sedition, slackerism duty lodging
-disloyalty by whatever name it may be called
must be smashed and we who are at home
must do the smashing while General Pershing
and our brave lads at the front smash that 10th
er enemy."-Herman Haislett.

Nutrition.

The destroyers started in pursuit
Of the Germans in a northwesteriy
direction, and discovered eventually
that the enemy ships were making for

Meanwhile. the Botha had been Grip
