are certain soldierly qualities that
it is very desirable for the boys to
acquire, such as an erect carriage,
promptness, obedience, respect for
authority, etc., and the school has
been very fortunate in securing
Captain Vinje of the local National
Guard as instructor. Drill is held
every Tuesday and Thursday.
The girls also are receiving special
trainingaalong war activities, being
busy with Red Cross work. Some
of the girls are knitting, others max
ing surgical dressings, others prepar-
ing hospital linen, sewing refugee
garments, pulling oakum, learning
to administer first aid to the injured,
and studying the history and organ
ization of the Red Cross Society.
The girls have already hemmed fifty
sheets, made fifty story books, and
made over a dozen army shirts.
A course in instruction on the war
is being planned for the entire school
system from the little folks in the
first grade to the seniors in high
school. From thirty minutes to an
hour a week will be spent in study
ing such topics as ''The Development
of the European Nations at War, -
''Why Germany Wanted War" Com
parison of German Life and Govern
ment with Our own" "How Children
Can Help" and many other interest
ing subjects. The war in reality is
being fought for the children of the
coming generations and the children
of today should know something
about it. They should be made to
realize that this terrible struggle is
to make the world safe for demo
cracy, and this is the reason that war
instruction is being introduced in the
Morris schools.
The different classes in the high
school have been organized and the
following officers have been chosen:
Senior class, Miss Dodds is the faculty
member; Evelyn Terrell, president;
Lucas SIR, Secretary and treasurer
Junior class, Miss Seipel is the facul-
ty member; Martha Ulvestad, presi-
dent; Beatrice Brisbane, secretary
and treasurer; Sophomore class, Mr.
O'Connell is the faculty member;
Ju1ia JeSage. president: Leonard
Schmidt, vice president; Thelma
Smith, secretary and treasurer
Freshman class, Miss Woodman is the
faculty member; Jean Harris, presi'
dent; Mildred Adams, vice president
Janice Gould, secretary; John Bow
lin, treasurer.

ex-professional dancer who is inter-

been here only three weeks just hav-

Farm Lands for Soldier Bows

The appointment by Governor
Burnquist of a committee on land
settlements for returning soldiers
and industrial workers is timely
step in the right direction which will
meet with general public approval
and is in line with proposals which
are now under consideration by the
Land Committee of the national
House of Representatives. However,
the policy the governor has in view
is of a broader scope than the plans
outlined by Secretary Lane or in the
bills presented in congress. The
purpose of the national legislation
now in preparation is to provide
farms for returning soldiers on easy
and workable terms, while the gov
ernor would extend similar privileges
also to industrial workers, who may
be fifty termed our soldiers of peace.
It is to be assumed that the ap-
pointment of this committee will be
the initial step in working out a
| comprehensive policy for rapid set
Ting of the vast areas Of productive
state lands that are waiting for will
ing hands to work them and reap
! their sleeping riches. A committee
made up of such able men as those
selected by the governor may be ex-
pected to formulate and present to
the next legislature a practical
scheme of legislation so well pre-
pared and digested that final afirma-
tive action may be had in the course
of the session.
The duty of the state and the peo-
pie to our returning heroes is plain.
No doubt thousands Of them will
wish to establish homes on a piece
of the soil for which they have
fought and bled; and the terms of
settlement must be so broad and lib
eral as to insure success for the SOL
dier-settler. Minnesota, of all states,
F.; should take the lead in prompt &C
ton along these lines. She has a
vast army of fighters in France, but
she can provide all of them with
farms on better lands than are now
to be found anywhere else in the
country in sufficient quantities. The
governor has pointed the way.
The Public Safety Commission will
see that a law embodying compre-
hensive and practical soldiers and
sailors land policy will be put before
the people at the earliest possible mo-
ment.

STORIES OF THE Y. w.
In MUNITION CENTERS
Wonderful Work Being Done for the
French Girls Who Make NUM-
lions for Yanks

Tremendously interesting are the
reports that are coming from over
seas of the work of the Y. w. C. A.,
and here is one from one of the Y.
w. G. A. secretaries working as
physical director in one of the In
dustrial War Service Clubs the Y. w.
C. A. has established over there.
These clubs have been established in
France at the request of the French
Ministry of War and provide abso-
lutely the only means of rest and
right living for the girl munition
workers of which France alone now
has more than one million.
AS yet these girls are making most
of the munitions for our own army,
altho this summer the government
has established twenty-five munition
environments in this country and has
asked the Y. w. G.. A. to take the
same charge here of the girls they
have been doing abroad. The girls,
by the way, live in committees sur
rounded by highly charged electric
barbed wire fences.
This work for the soldiers ION the
second line of defense is one of the
most important branches of the work
for which the United War Work
Fund Campaign will soon be made
Conditions in French munitions
center are described in the following
letter just received at National Head
quarters of the Y. w. C. A War Work
Council, from Miss Mary Porterf1eld,
a trained physical director in charge
of a Y. w. G.. A. foyer" or club
house for women workers near
Bourges.
Bourges, Aug. ST am writing
from one of our real work centers,
the Foyer" of a large munitions
factory three miles out from Bourges.
This little war community has been
built within the year.
eff you could look down on us
you would find a little, square, fiat,
sunny village of low houses laid out
in rows, the whole surrounded by a
wall. No one is admitted unless
they live here or have official bust
ness.
In one end of the village live
the families, men, women and chill
dren. On another side are the long
dormitories for single women. My
cottage is by the entrance gate.
There is not much shade yet, only
tiny trees just set out but there are
plenty of gardens.
The foyer is the only recreatiohal
center near. There is nothing else
but the cafes at the end of the car
line mile away and the city three
miles away, and the cars do not run
after in order to save fuel.
My problem is to keep the women
occupied in the evenings, to give
them good healthy amusement so
that they will forget their sorrows
and will go to bed and sleep, physi-
cally tired out from playing. Most
Of them are refugees. The future
offers them little hope
Some of them are slowly turning
yellow-the skin of their hands and
face and their hair, from the powder
they work in. This powder is said
to get their lungs sooner or later.
That particular work is very highly
paid and is done by volunteers as it
is the most dangerous to health. A
woman who thus gives up her good
looks and in time her health and
life is serving her country as much
as the soldier in the trenches.
There is a pretty little round,
rosy-cheeked girl here just begin
ming to turn. The roots of her hair
and her forehead are pale yellow;

TAXES PLUS NONSENSE

Conpressmen are said to fear in- dignant protests from their constitu- ents in case a tax is placed on the use of automobiles as luxuries.
 We should think they would.
 The farmer, today the hevaiest pur chaser of automobiles, is not using ears as a luxury The merchant, an otehr heavy purchaser, has bought motor cars from a purely utilitarian standpoint. Probably seven citizens out of ten. and it may be more, use their ears far more for business than for pleasure.
 Of the cars which crowd the city streets, very few represent luxury Of those which race over the country roads on working days only small percentage are employed for provid- ine recreation. The automobile keeps the rural districts in touch with their markets. It is the messenger of the lawyer. the carriage of the doctor, the means of delivery of the thousand trades which keep the world of busi- ness running fast and smoothly. Thousands of factory hands go to their work in automobiles. Thousands of office workers are able to line in suburbs and prevent the congestion of cities only because of the automo- bile.
 The motor car was originally purely a luxury. A great many people seem unable to forget that. They seem unable to realize that without motor cars affairs would slump down, busi- ness would stumble and slow up, our present manner of living would change This inability to see things as they are now instead of as they were twenty years ago is responsible off this continual harping upon the Luxurious automobile"
 The country is in temper to ac- cept extraordinary taxes. But it does not want any misrepresentation about them or any hypocrisy. It does not want to be told that what it has come to use as a necessity is mere super fuous luxury" Toledo Blade.
