mer is over, 1t became known today,
following the announcement of the ad.
dress of Solomon Roth, Chicago gro.
Gerry journal editor, before st. Paul
grocers at the st. Paul Association.
Such a schedule will mean that the
lowest possible prices, in keeping with
living profits, will be asked. For ev.
cry additional accommodation, such as
delivery or extension Of credit, there
will be additional charges.
C. F. Trettin, secretary Of the st.
Paul Retail Grocers' association, said
he anticipates the Inauguration of
such a system, though there is no
means OF fixing a date when it would
become generally operative"

If the several owners of the dozen or

DELIVERIES COST EXTRA

There is a concerted effort on the
part of the merchants of the county
to reduce the delivery costs to a

ton that is being taken in various
parts Of the country. Lately at a

this was under consideration and the

the subject.

A NATIONAL DUTY

The Treasury of the United States
has a great deal of money to raise
and it cannot be raised by bankers
alone. The banks of this country can
not alone sustain Americas needs in
this war and extend to our allies the
essential aid which they must have to
continue the war.
The rich of this country cannOt do
it alone: the men of this country can
not do it alone; the IN of this
country cannot do it alone; but all

Whereas: Our Heavenly Father has
taken from us the preesnce of one Of
our most helpful workers, Mrs. NJ. +.
Wimsey. Therefore, we, the Executive
Committee of the Brookings County
Chapter Of the American Red Cross,
by Resolution adopted at our regular
monthly meeting, wish to express our
deep sense of loss and at the same
time our thankfulness that she meant
so much to the cause of helpfulness
at this serious time. Having charge
of the knitting department, she spent
many hours in the Red Cross rooms.
She did her work with efficiency and
by her zeal and earnestness inspired
many others TO aid in this work. She
worked hard; far too hard for her
strength, in her devotion to the cause.
At the same time that we express
our appreciation, we would extend our
sympathy to her relatives, suddenly
bereaved by her death.
And be it further Resolved: That
this resolution be printed in the local
papers and a copy sent to the relatives
of Mrs. Wimsey.

Very lite disorder in Vienna after

is hungry. German foreign secretary
asks for modification OF armistice
terms to permit use of territory occu-
pied by Allies on left bank of Rhine.

but there seems little chance of his
being heard. 200,0 900 tons of food
stuffs are on way to hungry Europe,
being designated particularly for the
countries freed from German rule.
Story that kaiser may return to Ber-

seems little chance that he will try.
He is perhaps safer where he is.

William Bower, brother of James
Bower, our candy kitchen man, was
killed in action somewhere in France"
on September 2Sth. William came to
the United States from his home and
birthplace in Greece in 1910, and has
lived in Webster and in Brookings
all the time since. He was twenty
five years of g and when the call
came for men he enlisted in the South
Dakota Cavalry and was sent to Camp
Cody. In May of this year the regi-
ment was sen to France and was en-
gagged in many of the fights on the
front after the big Allied offensive
started. No particulars have been re-
ceived by his brother, James. but 1T
is his intention when the war is over
to take the body back to the old home
in Greece and give him burial beside
those of his race and family. All his
friends in Bookings, and in Webster,
will remember tbs young man with
reverence and respect, for he gave to
the cause of liberty and his adopted
land, all that he could give, his life.
So great a lover of this country was
he, that while at Camp Cody he had
his name changed from the Greek one
of Bezzerianos, to the English one of
Bower.

FIVE MONTHS ON FRONT
Continued from Page ~

It's rather rainy outside this afternoon
and seeing | have a good place to
write will answer one of your letters
anyway.
We were away from the front a few
days getting our guns repaired. l
went along as l thought we could get
something to eat and also get away
from the everlasting boom of the guns.
We went far enough to get away from
the sound of the guns but the country
around was only recently evacuated
by the Boche so there wasn't much
there in the shape of eats. There was
a commissary there that had Beau
champ chocolate but wouldn't sell it
get relieved and they were going 20
have it divided among the regiments
of the division. SO we thought we'd
get in on it but the division was re-
lieved and we're still here attached to
another division. l guess Dreyer and
another fellow went out in the after
noon and spotted a Salvation Army
hut out of "a bars of chocolate and
run onto a small store where they got
a few nuts, but that's all we found to
eat. We can't kick though, some fell
lows gave us some -four and we had
a big batch of fapjacks and lots Of
baking powder biscuits while we were
there, but it didn't last long enough.
1t took us all day to come back
quite a walk, too, by the way, and then
we had TO come back into position
that night. Made us kind of mad but
we were glad of it after we got here
as we found an old Dutch shack and
q dry place to sleep, something we
wouldn't have had at the escheleon.
Then since we've been here we've been
eating something fierce. Hot cakes
this morning for breakfast. Is or as
many more as you want. Last night
creamed spuds which were sure fine.
Oh yes, and jam on our bread and
cream in the coffee. Beauchamp
beans for dinner. Our cook here can't
be beat for looking out for our bread
baskets. Pm working around the
kitchen now when | haven't anything
else to do. carrying water, washing
dishes and %chopping wood and sneak
ing a little extra eats on the side.
don't know how long we are sup
posed to stay on the front at one time,
but we've been on since June 14th,
the only rest being while moving from
one front to another. This makes the
fifth front for us. We were on the
Chateau Thierry and Scissors front
in August and September.
So Leon crabs because ne has to
write history reports. We get to talk
ing sometimes how we'd be studying
so hard In college II we were back. II
seems like ! could study to beat the
dickens now. He can consider himself
lucky he will be out Of school before
they get the history Of this war into
