'ers State Bank Of Grygla, has disap-
peared He left Grygla together with

room during the afternoon stating that
he wanted to take nap. Since then
no trace has been found of him.. His
overcoat and grip were found in the
room he had occupied, the latter con-
tanning some mortgage papers he was
supposed to dispose of in the cities.
Nothing unusual was noted about the
room, everything indicating that the
owner intended to return soon..
Mr.. Ballard is said to have been in
poor health since the fire in Grygla
last December Over exertiOn or heat
may have affected him. His doctor
had adytced him to take rest for q
while and he did so in April, going te
Wisconsin. He had been at home but
a short time before leaving for st
Paul. The banks affairs are in gooe
shape, and Mr.. Ballard had the con
fidence of his directors and OF the pa
irons as well. His age is SO years.

Guards of NOrthefn Minnesota.
=. -Bemidji First. 9

Warren can now boost itself with
the fact that Co. "F," 18th Battalion,
Minnesota Home Guards. has d
Battalion Band of twenty pieces. This
is no small factor, as Bemidji is the
only other city which has Battalion
Band outside. of the Twin Cities and
Duluth. A Battalion Band for a city
the size Of Warren will be a decided
advantage to CO. "F," and good
for Warren. Our citi-
zens should greatly appreciate the aims
and splendid work Of the band boys.
The director Of the Battalion Band will
5be August I. Bystrom, who has had
charge since he came to the city.
Uniforms for the band have been
ordered and caps will be used instead

Keep Smiling!

Keeping up the corners is wonan's job
In times it is especially her job to keep up
the corners Of her Iips-in a smile!
The eyes are the windows of the soul; the lips are
the doorplate of the disposition.
Ltp-corners that turn upward speak the eternal
welcome" of a frequent smile and a happy heart
Lip-corners that turn downward whisper warning
NO admttance. Beware the dog"
Wise young men seeking wife are the men who
give the lips Of their lady loves good hard look
before they kiss, ask answer to the question
of love.
The time to look at a woman's lips is when she
doesn't know you are looking. ANY womaD's lips will
curve upward in smile when she is conscious Of
inspection. The ten-tale corners must be watched
when the mouth is in repose and the owner thinks
herself unobserved.
The years that bring the girl to womanhood have
set in the Of her lips the record of her smiles
and gentleness-or of her frowns. pouts, obstinacy
and melancholy. He who runs may read the signs
And now, in times, lips which always held the
sweet upward curve of smiles must guard it care
fully lest the heartache and the sad thoughts that
follow absent lovers sons, brothers and friends
shall erase the beauty and courage our soldiers re-
member. And those whose fretful thoughts have
been recorded in downward curves must start

the pride and glory Of service must turn the corner
toward smiles.
There is supreme law of beauty and charm

and remember every day thereafter: All men hate
and love smiles; there is no beauty in a mouth
which does not smile

Lips that turn downward signal Stop"
And lips that lie in straight line might say

Wise men look TO a woman's mouth for moro

They look for the reflected light of the heart-a
smile.

Sit Steady in the Boat.

This is the time for Americans to sit steady in the
boat. Sinking Of ships at the very mouth of New
York harbor by German submarines brings the war
closer TO our shores has been before but the
stroke was not unexpected and the people should
not give way to panic.
Long ago it was predicted that the submarine
warfare failing Of its purpose the other side Of
the Atlantic would be brought to this side. 1t was
pointed out that with the large cruising type of
submarine this would be feasible and would be the
logical step Of the enemy. Bombardment of port
cities and even by aeroplanes launched from the sea
is not beyond the range Of possibility.
The purpose is two-fold. One object, Of course,
is to destroy life and property and interfere with
troop movements and with commerce. The other
Wis to create demand in this country that American
naval forces now in foreign be brought home
for purposes of defense thus weakening the forces
guarding the seas on the European side
Inasmuch as the submarines must work under
difficulty in travelling so before and after they
strike their losses must be heavy and their work
slow. Probably the second object is the more i'm
portant to the Hun.
We have the assurance of the naval department
that the home coasts are fairly well guarded now.
We have every reason to believe that the wisest pos
sibe disposition has been made of the forces, with
all contingencies in view.
So we must sit steady in the boat and leave it
to the navy whatever happens.

CLOWNS AND CUPID
By Louise Oliver.

Miss Lynda looked furtively at
her niece in the pew beside her,
then sideways across the aisle to
where the Langleys sat. Billy was
there with his father, and the fact
that his clear young tenor voice
was as silent during the singing
OF the hymn as Sara's own sweet
soprano confirmed her suspicious
of two days standing. There had
been a quarrel.

thized, with her thoughts miles

what the trouble is" And her eyes,
rowing away from her book AS
though in search of the cause,
found it,
There he was-the stranger-in a
pew just ahead to the right.
'Humph!" concluded Miss Lynda
with involuntary contempt, I'll bet
that circus agent who has been here
a week and walked home with Sara
the other night is to blame for the
whole thing She is a goose, I'll
bet, too, that he won't walk home
with her after the sermon, either,
If l can help it. Not if l am in as
good health as | am this minute, he
won't"
The hymn closed and the sermon
began. Miss Lynda heard none of
it. Her thoughts were busy. There
will have to be something done"

things," she sighed, and glanced

have to pay for it later in agony of soul
Neither must take too literally the laudatons
of the English and French, whose sacrifice is so
much greater than and whose valor we can
never hope TO excel. Much of their public praise is
intended for the encouragement of their people
who will be heartened if our troops represented
as their deliverers. More of it is meant to brace
up and give us self confidence for the work that
is ahead In their eyes we are children who will
