At the burning of a provision shop
the crowd helped themselves freely.
One man grasped a huge cheese as
his share of the plumber.
Rising up with it, he found him
self face TO face with a policeman
and with admirable presence OF mind
put the plumber into the officers
arms, saying: You had better take
care Of that, policeman, or some one
will be walking off with it,.

SEND THEM TO GERMANY
Kaiserites in America to be Returned
To Native Land.

NaiSSftISS III iva " ~
To Native Land.
Professor J. A. Hancock, in a pa
triotic four minute talk at the Grand
theatre last evening, touched popu-
lar wish when he stated:
"You Will be pleased to know
that steps are being taken to
send back to Germany prominent
German sympathizers who have ex-
pressed the hope that the kaiser will
win this war" This remark was re-
ceived with storm of applause from
all parts of the theatre, which was
crowded to capacity, showing that
America is no place now for those
with German sentiments. DR.. Han
cock stated that on the Fourth OF
July President Wilson had sent a
special message to be delivered by all
the minute men all over the United
States. The message dealt with the
misuse of free speech and pointed out
it's limitations. Freedom of speech on
all public questions is allowed until
the majority gives its decision, and
when this is done no one has the
right to interfere with the putting OF
that decision into execution.
''Let us support President Wilson in
his policies and continue in our firm
resolve to win this war" said Mr.
Hancock. His Brief talk was enthu-
siastically received.

DEHNEL WAS SCARED

Sherburn Advance Standard: On diff
ferent occasions The Advance Standard
has made editorial mention of one Deh-
mel, the agitator, who played star part
in the New Ulm meeting last summer
and who later, due to the encouragement
he there received from pro-huns, started
a hun paper in the twin cities. He was
one of the boosters for the nonpartisan
league. He evidently has worn out his
welcome in every loyal community in
Minnesota, judging by the reception he
received in Renville county on June Is.
We are herewith reprinting an item
from The Bird Island Union relative to
the incident. It ought to, open the eyes
of those who refuse to admit there is
anything disloyal connected with the
league. The article follows:
Everything went lovely, until the pa
rade reached Bird Island, where a crowd
of patriots met with demand to take
off the banners Sheriff Sunde informed
the Islanders that the mayor and coun-
pass through, which was of course the
law. A demand was made on the sher-
iff for the removal of Paul e. Dehnel of
Minneapolis. notorious German SYM
Joined it at Olivia. As Sheriff Sunde
had made the league leaders promise to
confine their sparaders to Renville coun-
ty people and to remain within the
county limits, he Immediately ordered
the deputies to remove Dehnel from the
parade and the county. He. was found,
hiding behind his aged mothers skirts;
the same old mother whom he was fond
of beating up when he lived in Renville
county, near Fairfax. He was roasted
to turn by the crowd. which included
Sergeant Billy Moore of the Canadian
army. Feeling ran high and Dehnel sat
in the car with his aged mother in his
lap. Daddy scared man.. The Union
editor was not present, but 1T would
have been a great pleasure to have pub
11ished in The Union this week that Deh-
mel had been hung by the crowd to q tele-
phone pole, although Bird-fsland is not
particular about cluttering IN its Aneri-
can produced telephone poles with such
carrion as Dehnel. ~ He was taken to
Franklin by Marshal Scott of that VIII
lage. from there to Fairfax and shipped
in charge by the department Of justice. "

WITH THE NUMBERLESS GODS
Battered and Neglected Images of 6uddha Give Better Understand
 ing of the Oriental Nature.

Now and again, in some forgotten byway, the traveller chances on some glimpse into the heart of foreign na- ton that lights up the dark places with a flash of insight. Such glimpse may be had Into the heart of Japan by a visit to what are known locally as the Numberless Gods. It Is difficult to ex- plain how these battered images of Buddha can lead to a better under standing of Oriental character, but 1t Is safe to say that few men have vis- fted them without coming away feeling that they are little closer to the mys- tery of Japan, says world traveller.
 The Numberless Gods are so known because, according to local tradition, they cannot be counted. They stand by the banks of a swift stream flowing onward to Tokyo, and they are old and mosSgrown, forgotten and neglected. If you will try to count them, you will see how the tradition about them ori- ginated. They are so much alike that your count will never be twice the same. True, the irreverent tourist may go down the line tapping each one with his cane and calling off the numbers, but that were sorry way to treat q picturesque legend.
 They stand In a smiling line, these gods of stone, worn and defaced by the flight of centuries; features softened and blurred by the years, mossgrown and half hidden by grasses, forgotten by their worshippers, smiling, always smiling. It Is the peculiar, inscrutable smile of the Buddha, the only god who smiles. Doomed. to suffer, according to the Buddhist creed, until all sin has disappeared from earth, he smiles eter- nally In all his images. In these neg lected stones, that would have some thing pathetic about them did they rep resent any other god, the smile seems to speak of a supernal knowledge, a wisdom that is above circumstance and time. The smile of the image In an in- cense clouded temple Is haunting and unforgettable thing, but the smile of these neglected roadside gods under the open sun goes deeper. It seems to sum up the mystery that lies at the heart of the most mystical creed.

NOT ALTOGETHER sELFIsH.

Tt is not altogether for purely eco homie reasons that industrial con- cerns oppose drinking on the part of their employees" says President Gib- son of the Chicago Pressed Steel con- pany. "The average employer Is greatly interested in the welfare of his work-people. He wants to see them prosperous and happy. He also wants to get the largest possible re- turns in his business and there is no conflict between these two aims.
