Who Proposes to 20 Otherwise?

The Times editor came here twenty
five years ago when there were no
farmers in this part of the county.
And for number Of years it was a
question whether there ever would
be any, and the common saying was
that there would be no town here af-
ter the sawmills shut down for good.
One citizen bet a new hat that the
day would come when her-could hunt
cartridges on the main street of Mil
AGA. But the farmers came and
were the making Of our prosperous
little town. Now that they are here
let us treat them right in every way.
|-Milaca Times.
There is no more prosperous terri
tory anywhere in northern or central
Minnesota than that Immediately trib-
utary to Milaca and Foreston. Most
Of the farmers have roomy and we'll
built barns, neat and substantial dwell
ling houses, and fine herds of dairy,
and beef cattle. On every hand are
signs of increasing prosperity. One
of the largest, if not the largest, and
best conducted creameries in the state
is located at Milaca, and is exclusively
owned and operated by farmers, and
the Union is proud Of that creamery
and has repeatedly called attention
to it.
There is no disposition on the part
of any business man in Milaca, or any,
where else that we are aware of, to
treat the farmers otherwise than
right.

The Union Appreciated by Our Boy

The Union Appreciated by Our Boys.
In q letter from one Of the boys at
Camp Cody to the publisher he gives
it as his opinion that the men at that
camp will soon be on the move. Just
exactly when or where to he does not
hazard guess. But, he says, chat
we are soon to move is in the air" He
concludes by saying: "The Union is
a treat each week. It's sensible and
patriotic editorials, and its firmness in
always standing by the boys in uni
form causes our affection for it to
constantly grow. May its standard
never be lowered, and we are sure it
never will be as long as Bob Dunn is
at the helm"

UNITY OF COMMAND OF ALLIED
ARMIES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
SUCCESSFUL ADVANCING MOVES

London, Aug. 3.-The advance Of
the entire Allied line in the Soissons-
Rheims salient is commented on here
with elation. although not without re-
minders that the Allies yet have q
long way to go. Officials and other
dispatches are regarded as revealing a
transformed situation coinciding with
the arrival of American detachments
80 strong as to give the Allies a
numerical advantage in reserves and
justifying high hopes for the future.
The altered situation is attributed
to two main factors. namely, that the
American strength Is beginning to tell
with great effect and that the Allies
are reaping an increasing advantage
from unity of command.
General Foch's skill receives many
tributes. but none warmer than that
given in a speech at Belfast by Wis
count French, former British COM
mander in France, who describes Gen.
eral Foch as the finest soldier the war
had produced. adding:
He has given an exhibition of. mill
tary genius which probably will cause
his name to rank in history among
those of the worlds greatest CON-
manders." The Newspapers devote
much space to the anniversary OF
Great Britain's entry into the war and
the preparations for the services for
commemoration and intercession or
Sunday for which the immediate out
look on the front has furnished a set
ting of hopeful confidence that lit
tie while ago would have seemed
much too sanguine. Commenting on
the victory the Times says:

Of upheaval which may be more preg-
nant with good or evil than the
