 At the front, perhaps, the great est work is done. Here real taste of HOME, the thing the boy craves more than any other one thing, comes with the hut erected by the friendly helpers.

Recruiting for Army Ser
uice Took Big Slump in
Minnesota During July

Despite most valiant efforts to keep
the number of recruits secured in the
Minnesota District this month up to
the usual thousand mark at least, it
was unavailing. Army recruiting
slumped off during the month of July
almost fifty per cent and, while Major
John D. Yost, Recruiting Officer for
the District, looked for a slight fallin.
off during the summer months, he
states that he will look to Civilian
Recruiting Committees throughout the
state to make up the loss in the
months to come.
Major Yost attributes the slump to
the fact that urgent calls for harvest
hands from all sections of the country
and the work or Fight" order have
sent thousands of men to the farms.
The lump has affected states west Of
here to an even greater extent than it
has Minnesota.
All signs point to a change in the
draft age limits as soon as Congress
reconvenes next month. The concensus
of opinion is that the ages will be- low-
cred as well as raised and will in all
probability require the registration of
men from 10 to FL years and from 81
to 40 years of age. Such changes
would prove a boon to recruiting as
there is always rush of recruits
previous to the registration Of new
classes for the draft.
The victorious advance of American
troops on the western front has done
much to stir the fighting spirit of
Young America and the greater pro-
portion Of men enlisting at the present
time are men under the draft age
limit. Men under Fl years must pres
ent satisfactory evidence to establish
their age before they will be accepted.
Consent of parents or guardian is not
necessary for enlistment If over 10
years of age, but before applicants
will be accepted documentary evidence
of the fact must be presented the re-
cruiting officer. ~.

Director-Gen. McAdoo
Urges Railroad Men to
Back Up Government

Director General McAdoo of the
American railways made character
istic patriotic address to the railroad
men at Hillyard, WASH, July %, in
which he urged the railroad men of
the country to stand squarely back of
the government during the war period.
He said in part:
Ladies and gentlemen; and fellow
railroad workers: wish could make
a speech to you but overstrained my
voice in three liberty loan campaigns
and the doctors have forbidden me to
make any speeches for short time,
but do want to tell you that I am
glad to see you and to be associated
with you in doing a very great work
for our country. To US railroad men
has been assigned one of the biggest
parts in this war. 1t depends upon us
whether, or not the Kaiser will be
licked ten times as quickly as he
otherwise will be. I know that we are
going to lick him ten times as quickly,
because the railroad men of the Unit
ed States are going to do their duty
to Uncle Sam. You are all Uncle
Sans servants now, no private in
terests control the railroads anymore;
Uncle Sam is in command; he has his
hand on the throttle; he is running
these railroads and you are going to
help him make a success of it.
Il want to give you all just as fair
treatment as ! know how, but we are
all servants of the American people,
you and alike, and all depends on the
way in which we discharge our respon-
sibilities whether or not the American
people are going to treat us right.
The strength of our position must
always rest upon the public opinion.
What / do for you from time to time
must be done with reference to what
is just; not alone to you, but to the
public, which has got to pay the bill.

don't treat them fairly, they will re-
fuse to sustain me In trying to help
you. want you to help me do the
square thing for the American people,
while I am trying to do the square
thing for you. This is fair isn't it?
I know that the machinists and shop
men think they were not treated fairly
in the the original Wage Commission
report. There are peculiar conditions
affecting the machinists and the shop
men Of the country, and because re-
cognized that, I appointed new Com
mission to investigate railroad wages
and working conditions. They have
made a report to me and am working
on that report and shall render de-
cision on the twenty-ffth Of this
month. When that decision is made,
! want you to know that I have con-
scientiously done the best I could for
you, having just regard to your in
terests and the interests Of the public.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Kaiser has six grown sons.
They are described in the German
press as stalwart and brave.
But not one of them has knowing
ly put himself in a position of danger
in this war. The Crown Prince is
in titular command of an army. If
there are victories he takes the credit;
if there are defeats or failures, they
are shouldered on to the generals who
are in actual command. He is miles
back of the fighting front, where he
is quite safe.
The other Princes are equally
valiant. When there is captured terri
tory to be looted, they are on hand.
When there is fighting to be done.
their precious lives are carefully
guarded. TYR
Six stalwart sons, and not one OF
them really fighting for Das Water
land!
Colonel Roosevelt has four sons.
Every one of them has entered the
service. One of them has already died
for his Country. The others are fight
ing democratically alongside other
good American sons.
William H. Taft's son, Charles, is
in the artillery. Richard, the son OF
Grover Cleveland, is in the Marine
Corps. If Mr.. Wilson had any sons
make sure they would be in the thick
of the fray, too.
The sons of former American
Presidents are fighting. 1t is no more
than is expected of them, for this is
a democracy.
The sons of the Kaiser are coddleC
slackers. 1t is no less than is ex.
pected of them, for Germany is ar

RESOURCES UNLIMITED.

a Pessimistic Americans who view
with alarm our increasing national
obligations may, derive a great deal
of comfort from comparison of the
financial condition of the United
States contrasted with that of Ger
many.
The total resources of the United
States are estimated at about $780,
O00,0O0,000; our annual earnings are
estimated at about $4,000, 900 900.
Our national debt, including the third
liberty loan, may be put around $12,-
000,000,000.
Before the war our Government was
spending about $1,000,000,O00 a year.
When the war is ended, interest
charges, less the interest collected
from our loans to our allies, Govern
ment insurance expenses, and other
necessary expenditures growing out of
the war may conservatively be esti-
mated at something like $1,000,O00,-
600. We are confronted, therefore,
when peace comes, with raising on
a couple of billions year revenue, a
slight task for a Nation of such
tremendous wealth, capacity, and re-
sources.
The resources of Germany before the
war were estimated to be $80,00O,O 00,-
900. The annual expenditures then of
the Imperial Government were about
$S00,000,000 Her debt now is $780,
O00,000,000, and her resources and
man power have been severly impair
ed. After the war she is confronted
with additional expenditures growing
out of the war totaling some $4,000,
100000.
The interest of her war debt, even
if the debt grows no larger, will be
about sl,5O0000,0O0. Although she is
niggardly in her pensions to private
soldiers and their families, ST 1000, O00,-
600 a year would hardly suffice to pay
even small pensions to her injured and

Coming Minnesota
State Fair Will be Reg
ular War Exposition

The Minnesota Safe Fair, Septem--
Der to z, is to be "War Exposition, -
as far as every department is con-
cerned. II
It's greatest aid will lie in en-
enlargement of food raising and food
saving. Stupendous exhibits of live
stock, farm products, children's con-
test work, women's work, and machin-
cry, will feature this part of the Fair.
Nothing of the kind, as planned, has
ever been staged anywhere in AM
erica.
But the greatest thing of interest
to all the people of the Northwest
will be the gigantic exhibit of war
relics, great guns, and every kind of
instrument used in the waging of war,
in Europe. Combat planes, and all
kinds of paraphernalia used by the.
aviation department, will also be ex--
hibited. The Federal Government, for
the first time in history, is coming to-
the State Fair with a wonderful ex--
hibit, demonstrating the work of
practically all the leading departments
at Washington in the prosecution Of
the war.
1t is believed that the Northwest is
so interested in the War for Demo-
crazy, which the Fair is assisting to,
such degree, that the attendance re-
cord of 100000 established last year
will be shattered by wide margin.
