APPEALS FOR RECRUITS
FOR NAVAL SERVICE

An urgent appeal for men for the
navy has been made by Lieut.. George
A. Treadwell. navy recruiting Off
Ger for this district, as follows:
II firmly believe that the great
need Of recruits for the navy and the
unusual concessions being made to
get them, is not generally realized.
Nearly every branch of the service
has been opened to enlistment to both
draft registrants and men who we're
not in the draft. More than 5000
in this district alone who may soon be
called under the selective service reg
ulation have this opportunity of
choosing their branch in an organiza-
ton that has always been highly eff
cient.
"To encourage enllstments we are
authorized to enroll men between the
ages of 21 and IS as seamen, Sec
ond class. This rating is not secured
ordinarily until the period Of train
ing has been completed. Other men
who will be transferred to training
station Immediately are painters. car
penters, cooks, firemen and electri-
clans, both radio and general. Others
will be placed on inactive duty, SUBJ

FIGHTING CLASS MOVE
MENTS IN POLITICS
(From Augusta Labor Review.)

(From Augusta Labor Review.)
Railing at the members of the Non
partisan league as though they were
enemy aliens to be summarily sup
pressed at will only encourages them
by confirming their belief that they
are the victims of unjust laws The
Nonpartisan league is not the cause
of unrest among Northwestern farm
ers; rather is it the effect Of unrest.
It is the natural and inevitable effect
of legislation that has given over
the boundless resources of a contin-
ent to the keeping of few. It is
the effect of unrest among labor.
among tradesmen and manufacturers,
among all industries unsupported by
legal privilege. 1t would be utterly
league, the I. w. w. movement, or the
Socialist party by denunciations and
appeals to patriotism. Nothing but
redress of grievances can successfully
meet them. Class movements though
they be, they are a protest against in
tolerable wrongs; and as those wrongs
aff1ict the poor in all classes and call
ings, the only way of stopping the
continual transfer of voters from the
old parties to the new ones is to re-
move the wrongs. To call upon
Democrats and Republicans to unite
in the name of America, as has been
suggested, will avail little. If such
union could be effected it would be
only to raise higher the dam and ina
vite the great disaster when the flood
waters do break through.
The names Republican" and
democrat" have come to mean little
to the poor who feel that they are not
getting square deal under present
economic conditions, and who are
striving in their way to find the cause.
Either the present political leaders
must master this problem or see them
selves swept aside. The grievances
are very real, and the stress due to
war conditions is sorely taxing the
patience of the victims. Enlightened
statesmen will not waste time in de-
@nduncing the unrest, but will set about
removing the cause. It is not time
for name-calling, but for earnest
thinking: And the Nonpartisan league
of. Northwestern farmers is causing
political leaders to take notice.

new rules FOR .
USE SUGAR 5 Al; IN
CANNING SEASON
Food Administration Would Con-
serve Supply For Preserving
Purposes.

Every effort must be made to save
and preserve the fruit crop, which
forms a most important item of our
food supply.
Berries and other fruits will soon
he abundant in Minnesota, marking
the commencement of the summer
canning and preserving season.
The sugar outlook, however, is
such that regular and normal sup
plies to care for the usual Heavy
summer demand, as we'll as the can
ming requirements, cannot be .ex-
pected. owing principally to the lack
of sufficient vessels and transporter
ton facilities to bring the raw pro-
duct into this country.
The food administration is much
concerned over the problem of how
to provide sugar for the home can
ming needs. To help meet the situa-
ton it is now ordered:
First-After May IS, all dealers are
forbidden to sell sugar to any manu-
facturer excepting bakers and public
eating houses except on surrender of
certificate. Manufacturers must OBJ
| tain certificates from administrator
| who will issue them on basis Of
sworn statements showing last years
use of sugar. Important essentials
are ice cream, canned fruit, vege-
tables, milk, meat, medicines. Man.
ufacturers of these products may re-
ceive requirements. Other manufac-
turers are entitled to so per cent OF
| last years use.
Second-If available. retailers may
purchase and carry in stock sufficient
sugar to cover their seasonal require
ments for full 80 days.
Third-For canning purposes only
retailers may sell to consumers rs
pounds Of sugar at one time. The
| consumer must sign a certificate to
get this sugar and. is not expected to
get more until the first rs pounds is
used. Additional lots Of rs pounds
may be secured as needed by sign
ing each time a certificate. Retailer
lust send certificate to his county
food administrator.
1t is hoped and believed that by
thus carefully supplying the needs as
they arise that all sugar needed for
canning and preserving may be sup
piled.
Fourth-For general household
consumption, retailers are required to
observe the same careful and limited
distribution Of sugar: That is,s*to sell
at one time no more than pounds
per customer i'm town and no more
than 10 pounds per customer in the
country. No family should use TO,

0DIN HALDEN

In deciding to become a candidate
for reelection to the office of Coun-
~ Auditor, 1 shall make my appeal
On the basis of the service rendered
In the past, of familiarity with the
work gained in that service, and Of
the capacity for future service which
this experience should guarantee.
l have not pleased everybody. No
man can remain long in public life
without making enemies. 1 have
made some for which I am sorry.
I have made others that I am proud
to have made. When friendship de-
ponds upon the betrayal of public
trust in the interest of private gain,
then the resulting enmity is honestly
earned and thing to be proud of.
I am not afraid to say, that my ene-
mics of today are nearly all of this
class.
I have decided to become a candi-
date for reelection because I believe
that in tn auditors office of this
great county with it's hundreds OF
millions in resources there is work
yet unfinished that I would like to
carry on, and that I believe my ex-
perience qualities me to carry on to
the advantage of the public. These
are critical times when the public
expenditures should be held down to
the lowest possible level, consistent
with the needs Of the county.
If l am renominated and re-
elected, shall conduct the office in
the future, as I have in the past,
wholly in the interest of the public
and with a view to the highest posi-
- Bile service and the lowest possible
tax rates.
am deeply sensible to the honor
the voters Of St. Louis County have
done me in the past, far more than
I can express, and if they decide to
retain me in office for another term
it shall be my pleasure to serve them
to the fullest extent of my ability,
and with regard to no interest but
theirs and with fear of no enmity
that loyalty to their interests may
incur. Sincerely yours,
