APPROXIMATION

The first need of our nation is men
the second is money. North Dako-
ia has given freely of men for the
fighting forces Of the United States,
and of money wherever and whenever
needed. A call now comes for thous-
ands of men to engage in war indus
tries work. One hundred nine thous-
and unskilled laborers are needed for
work in munition plants alone, and
even greater numbers for army con-
struction projects. To fill our states
quota will tax our resources to the
limit. Men must be replaced by wom-
on wherever possible. All non-essen-
tial occupations should be dispensed
with that a sufficient number of men
may be recruited for the important
work our government has under way.
Men of North Dakota, if you are
filling non-essential position your
duty is clear. The needs Of the nation
must be met and l have assurance
that all who can be spared will take
up some branch of work where per-
sonal service to the federal govern
men may be given. The government
does not recruit from mines, railroads
or farms. Help must come from other
sources. Applications may be made
at the U. S. Employment officers or
to the chairmen of community Labor
boards. a - -

WOUNDED TWICE

Private Claude SWEET, former VAL
ley City Normal school student, sig
mailer for battery D: 10th field artil-
lery, is recovering from serious
wounds received in the battle in which
his division was commanded by Gen
eral Pershing.
Letters received by the young mans
mother, Mrs. Phebe SWEET of Tuttle,
indicate that he is progressing salts
factorily.
Private SWEET was junior at the
Valley City Normal when he enlisted
in June, 1917.
In letters received by his mother,
written from Base hospital rs, he
says:
81 suppose that by this time you
have been informed that was wound
ed. Now, you must not worry about
me, for l am having good care, and l
am not seriously hurt. A shell struck
close to me and I got fragment in
my right knee and another in my
stomach. I was right at dressing
station when I got hit and inside Of
20 minutes I had my wound dressed
and was on my way to the hospital. l
expect to be out of here before long.
"There are eight German prisoners
in my ward. They were scared to
death when they came, but they are
becoming more cheerful now. Some
of them are just kids. One of them
is an officer. He has heavy mus
tache, so the fellows call him the
bear
Twas within few kiloneters of the
Vasle when l was hit"
Two weeks later, Private SWEET
writes:
f'Still in the hospital, but I'm get
ting along fine. My knee bothers me
a little at times, but most of the time
i rest very easily. l can walk around
on crutches without any trouble.
"Everyone over here is pleased
with the new draft law. 1t should
have been passed long ago.
II don't think l told you when l
wrote before that I am in the hcspi-
tai the Mayo brothers helped furnish.
They give us the best of care by meth
DDS that have been worked out by the
French and English, in their four years
of war.
t'The bunch in my ward are the
happiest bunch you ever heard of.
Some of them are pretty badly
wounded, but you never hear them
complain. Most of them want to get
back to their outfit just as soon as
they can.

DOYLE Gets
GOOD HEARING

Steele, N. D., Oct. 12.-Concluding
days tour of Ashley and Steele
county, S. J. Doyle addressed large
crowd in Steele at an open air meet
ing, and he was most enthusiastically
received.
Mr.. Doyle spoke to full house at
kWishek, over 800 people, most of
them farmers, being present; at Ash
ley he addressed 200; at Napoleon he
addressed $50, and at Mcintyre and
here, he was greeted by very good
crowds.
The tour that Mr. Doyle is making
is becoming increasingly successful,
and a greater number are turning out
each day. It is estimated now that
he is speaking to from 1000 to 1000
people every day.
Mr.. Doyle's policy Of discussing the
campaign issue is winning friends for
him wherever he goes. He is staying
away from personalities, and has CIV
en- his audiences some concrete facts
as to what the socialistic program
means for North Dakota, particularly
for those who own land.
Desperate efforts still are being
made by the socialists who direct the
affairs of the national nonpartisan
league to keep their members from at
tending the Doyle meetings., but the
effort apparently has fallen fiat.

TO AID The JEWS

Imam effort to aid their fellows ;Shhc
are living in the war-stricken cvun~
tries, North Dakota Jews are going to
conduct campaign on Oct. % to raise
100000. Governor Lynn J. Frazier
has issued proclamation setting
aside that date as Jewish Relief Day
and he urges all citizens of North Da-
kota to help in this cause.
North Dakota will be the third in
the Union to conduct a statewide
campaign for the benefit Of the suf-
fering Jews in Russia, Lithuania,
Roumania, Palestine, Galicia, Poland
and other war stricken countries.
North Carolina raised $4,000 and
Mississippi raised $4,000. "We ex-
pect to raise 100000 in one day" said
Alexander Stern, mayor Of Fargo and
treasurer Of the state campaign.
"This will be the first time in the his
tory of the state that Jews have asked
for aid for their own charities outside
of members of their own race. But
we feel that because we have given
literally to all war charities non-Jews
will not feel imposed upon if we ask
for help from then."
Henry Morgenthau, former ambas-
sador to Turkey, Louis Marshall, a
noted New York banker, Arthur Leh-
man, Jacob Billikopf, two noted New
York business men and Nathan
Strauss, the famous philanthropist,
are heading the national committee
which is raising 5000, 900 to be sent
to their stricken brothers in Europe.

ed them.
eve have also, the action CT secre-
tary of War N. D. Baker, who brands
as a misrepresentation, words used
by the socialists in all effort to clear
their own skirts.
"In view of these facts, and in view
Of many other incidents in connection
with this campaign, every voter owes
it &c himself to study tie issues. to
inform himself cf what really is in
volved in the selection Of the man who
is to iccupy the chair Of governor of
North Dakota during the next two
years.
"Mr. Doyle is presenting the issues
in a clear, concise manner; our COM
mittee is doing the best it can in
bringing before the people of the
state clear statement of the pend
ing issues; it is up to each and every
dnan in the state to study these issues
carefully, and cast his ballot accord
ing to his best judgment.
'The old cry of this being contest
between the city and the country is
false upo nthe face of it. The nom
partisan league ]Iders just a few
weeks ago were aided by two bankers
in their attempt to cripple our cam
paign by laying charges against a So
licitor for our financial committee,
which charges were dismissed in a
court Of justice. That doesn't look
as though the bankers we're all lined
up against the farmers does it?
"There are about $4,000 farmers in
North Dakota, yet the opposition cam
didate for governor received only 49,
900 of their votes in the primary cleo
tion, when the city vote that went for
him is taken from his total.
"The fact is that socialism is the
real issue-we are either for socialism
or we are for individual property
rights. There is no escape from that
issue.

Cheese Easily DTuestes.,

Contrary to opinion held by many
people, chetldar or ''store' cheese is
not unusually indigestible or constipat-
ing. Extensive digestion experiments
conducted by the department Of agri.
culture have demonstrated that more
than 95 per cent of the protein in
cheese is digcstrd and that 90 per cent
of it's energy is available. One per-
son who ate cheese as the chief source
of protein and energy, eating an aver
age Of 9.27 ounces daily for more than
two years, did a fair amount Of mus
cular work and remained in good
health.

While at Jefferson Barracks, Pri-
vate SWEET wrote some lines of verse
to his mother. 1t was his first Sun
day in the service, and he said, "We
were a blue bunch" His verses fol-
low:
'1s it home, did you say, do we want
to go home?
Oh, there's nothing more dear to our
heart!
But we're here for cause, for that
cause we will stay,
For that cause we will each do our
part.
When we came, we all knew it would
not be all fun,
And we knew we would all have to
work;
If the time comes to die we wont stop
to ask why,
For there isn't one who will shirk. "

MIR. D0YLE'S
CAMPAIGN

Fargo, N. d., Oct. 14.-"The people
of North Dakota, we believe, are an
xlous to have an opportunity in this
campaign of studying the real issues
that is the basis on which the cam
paign for the election i S. j. Doyle
to the governorship is being conducted
on, and we are confident that it is the
line of action that will bring success
to us pn the fifth day of next Novem-
ber."
So said W. E. Byerly, chairman of
the joint campaign committee in
charge of the campaign for the elec-
ton of Mr.. Doyle today.
There have been attempts and
there will continue to be attempts to
swing the discussion from the issues
to personalities, but I am confident
that the old socialistic trick of abuse
and attempt at creating class hatred
as the basis for voting will fail, SIM
ply because our people are thoroughly
awakened to the real issues, and are
determined to judge the candidates
upon those issues.
"We are going before the people on
the issues the socialists themselves
have created; we are confident of the
verdict when our people are thorough
ly informed as to the aims of the
socialists, and Of what socialism
means to each Individual within the
state.
"The splendid attendance that is
being accorded Mr. Doyle in his tour
is the most patient indication of the
manner in which his attitude toward
issues is being received. He is being
greeted by larger and larger crowds
wherever he goes, and the attempt of
the socialists to keep members Of the
nonpartisan league from attending
his meetings, has failed.
1T would be sad commentary up
on the citizenship of our state if, at
this time, we let ourselves be govern
ed by passion in the selection of Off
GERS and in passing on such momen-
tous questions as are involved in the
approaching election. That is what
the socialists are relying upon, and
that accounts for some of the meth
DDS they have employed.
"An indication Of the kind of cam
paign that is being made against Mr..
Doyle is found in the attempt to show
that the Washington administration
is backing them. For instance, there
is the case of George Creel, who has
written letter clearly showing that
all efforts of the Nonpartisan league
leaders to use his name in their behalf

A APPROXIMATION

Since Jerusalem has been taken
from the Turks by the allied armies
there has been rejoicing throughout
the civilized world at the breaking
down of the despotic power that so
long has ruled the Holy Land to the
detrin2 ent of the rightful owners, the
Jews. But in order that the Jewish
people may enjoy the benefits of this
triumph they must first be put in a
position to help themselves. Through
out the war stricken districts of Eu-
rope and Asia Minor countless thous-
ands of them are suffering and dying
from want. All they ask is a chance.
Their more fortunate brothers in the
United States have come to their res
cue, but find the task too great. Con-
fdent in the generosity and keen sense
of Justice of all true Americans, they
have in turn requested the co-opera-
tion of those not of their race and
faith. The Jews of our land have sell
dom asked assistance in caring for
the wants of their needy, but them
selves have always come forward with
liberal subscriptions to every worthy
cause brought to their attention, and
ly Of men, money, and moral suppo1
to the winning of the war. We can
best show our appreciation of their
efforts by helping to alleviate the suf
ferings of those of their race in this,
their hour of direst need.
To expedite the raising of funds in
this humanitarian cause, do hereby
designate Wednesday, October 23rd,
as Jewish Relief Day in North Dako-
ia, and urge our people to contribute
literally to this fund for the sufferers
. in war-torn Palestine and Europe.

Useless Contention.

Sooner or later one is measured
with the rule that is straight and true.
There is one thing that we all find
hard to learn, but once learned life is
very much simpler and easier to live
contention does not help ne tiers of
airy kind. Constant aggrcssiveness,
frequent complaining, daily defending
of ones position wears away patience
and places one in IN atmosphere Of
antagonisn which Invariably reacts.
