Germany has formed a company,
with capital of about a million dol
lars, to organize an information serv-
ice after the war in foreign countries
with regard to Germany and in Ger
many with regard to foreign countries.
The probability is that foreign coun-
tries will not care to know any more
about Germany than they already
know. She has made a. record that
will require generations to live down.

So they fought it all out
Till their coffee grew cold.
And now there's another

Neither one would give up
And the neighbors, of course,
Had to break up the thing
They'll both sue for divorce.
Each one charges SANDER.
But perhaps it may be
They're both right and the Hun
May have no fanny tree.

To Build or Not TO Build.

The recent rains have swelled the
creeks so that a number of the
bridges in the south part of the
county have been swept away.
Continual applications have been
made to the board of county COM
missioners to build bridges in diff
ferent parts Of the county. The
board has heretofore refused to
comply with any of these demands.
leaving the work to be done by the
township in which the bridge was
located, and the commissioners
very properly realize that if the
county commences the work of
building bridges there will be
plenty of this work to do, and there
can be no discrimination between
the various sections of the county
where these demands are made.
We understand the commissioners
are to hold a meeting and decide
upon a course Of action in the
near future.

Rex Beach at His Best.

This paper will soon begin the
publication Of Rex Beach's lat
est and best story, Rainbow's
End. This is an announcement
of more than ordinary import
ance because of the fact that
Rex Beach stands at the very
head of American writer's of ic-
ton. Rex Beach never writes
unless he has a story to tell and
in Rainbow's End he has a real
tale to unfold. 1t is a stirring
romance of the revolution in Gu
ba that led eventually to the
Spanish American war. Love,
war, adventure. and search for a
buried treasure are the princi-
pal strands that are dexterously
interviewer in the plot in typical
Rex Beach style. The name OF
Rex Beach is sufficient to guar
antee the worth Of the story.
Watch for the opening install

The FLAG and the Banner

Two young fellows in Roberts
county, l.. Anderson, and a MIR.
Horstman, unfortunately let their
enthusiasm for Townley's non-par-
tisan league run counter to their pa
triotism and were arrested Tuesday
and taken to Sisseton for a hearing.
The facts as they were given to
US are that the two men drove into
Wilmot Monday evening with a
banner inserted: We farmers will
stick to non-partisan league" on
one side of the car and on the other
American flag. One of the home
gu rds saw the non-partisan banner
and reported it to their Captain
who detailed a squad to remove the
banner which they did. The boys
when leaving the town tore the
American flag from the car and
threw it on the ground. When
the captain heard what had been
done to the American flag, ordered
his men to get autos and catch the
boys. Several auto loads were out
all night going to the nearby
towns but were unable to get any
trace OF them until just before
train time in the morning. when
they we're caught at the Anderson
home ear Wilmot and taken to
Sisseton, but what disposition of.
the case has been made we have not
learned.

Early Matching SO as to produce
fall and winter layers.
To confine mother hens to brood
coops for at least two weeks after the
chicks r Matched.
To provide free range for both
growing stock and layers in SO far as
lossibie to stimulate growth and pro-
ductiOn and conserve food consump-
ton.
To preserve eggs for winter use.
The production of infertile eggs as

Imposing of surplus cockerels rs
broilers to conserve grain.

Language slandering the Red
Cross and other war activities is
held by the state supreme court,
to come under the 1917 law against
discouraging enlistments. The de.
c%ision, it is believed, may lead to
other indictments.
The ruling is in the case of Geo.
w. Freerks Of Ortonville, who de-
INJURED to the indictment against
him and appealed from the district
court order overruling the demurr-
er. The supreme court holds that
the language attributed to Freerks
constitutes a public offense. He
is accused Of saying on Jan. Is at
Or%tonville, in the hearing Of Thos.
Finley, Robert Jones and Julius
Fenner:

England is doing just as she al
ways has done. She is waging a
commercial war. She always sells
out her allies after it is over and
will sell out this country after this
war is over. The war is managed
just the same as they are doing
with these old hens. They get
them to knit socks and sweaters to
try to make them believe we are at
war. No soldier ever sees these
socks. What good are all these
damned sweaters? 1t is all bunk"
1t was argusd in Freerks' de-
Tense that the language alleged to
have been used by him, while high
ly improper, is so indefinite and
meaningless that it could not be
fairly understood by those who
heard it as a teaching or advocacy
against the prosecution of the war.
In the opinion written by Judge
George l.. Bum, however. the sup
RENE court says: 1T seems pla n
that men and women hearing the
words uttered. if they believe them
true, would naturally and reason
ably conclude that this country had
no just cause for prosecuting the
war, will profit nothing by win
