THE SHAME OF FAIRFAX.

At the little city of Fairfax, there
is a man by the name of Bowden,
who during the past year has occu-
pied the important and responsible
position of superintendent of schools.
Like most of the school superintend-
ents of the state, he has considered
it his duty to teach Americanism.
There are in the Fairfax commu-
nifty some people who have no SYM
pathy with Americanism. They would,
if they dared, haul down the Stars
and Stripes and replace it with the
flag of the Hohenzollerns. In their
veneration for things German, they
have forgotten that they live in Amer
lea and owe allegiance to it and sup
port to its institutions, they secretly
rejoiced when the women and chill
dren Of the Lusitania found their
grave in the Atlantic. They speeded
each murderous submarine with a
prayer of hate. When others sang
"The Star Spangled Banner" their
souls have been attuned to the strains
of Deutschland uber alles." While
demanding and enjoying all the bene-
fits and privileges Of citizenship in
the Republic, their heart-allegiance
has been to the Fatherland.
These people, constituting a rela-
lively small but very active element
of the Fairfax community, objected
to the teaching of American patriot
ism, they protested to the superin-
tendent and threatened to take their
children out of school. He replied
publicly by stating that patriotic in
struction would be given in the Fair

By the above arrangement the Red
Cross enters directly into the prep
arations which our government is
making for the care Of our men in
service overseas. 1t is working Gun
der orders" with definite task to
perform. The responsibility is great,
but the Red Cross has accepted it
with full confidence that the trust
placed by the government in the
voluntary service of the women of
the country will be more than justi-
fed.
1t is especially desired that no pub
lie announcement be made of the
total number of dressings asked for
the army in any chapter. This in
formation will appear to be of con-
fdential nature, and necessity for
caution in the use of these figures
will be apparent to ALFRED Cross

can be no failure in this war unless
the failure is in the cash.
There must be no failure in this
war if our country is to be worth
living in and our lives be worth the
living.
A life under Prussian domination
is worse than an honorable death;
and patriots prefer the latter.
The sword has been drawn for lib
erty in all the world.
Only in Prussia, in Austria, in Bull
garia, and in Turkey is the effort to
uphold despotism and legal brutal
tiles made.
That despotism stands for the muir
der of babies, the burning of school
houses, the outraging of women, the
blowing up of hospitals, the tortur-
ing of Red Cross nurses, the cruci-
fixion of children, hanging and burn
ing of innocents, the robbery of the
poor; words are inadequate to tell
of the cruelties, the tortures, the
shameful practices for which it
stands.
Of all these things, and more, have
the Germans been convicted; there
has been weak denial from Berlin
which went out and died when con-
fronted with the proof.
All these things, and more, will the
Germans do in the United States if
they win this war.
The Kaiser must be destroyed for
the preservation Of humanity and Of
Christianity in the world.

That is camoufage.
If you do not invest it willingly,

If Americanism cannot be taught
in the public schools, where may it
be taught? Shall America give a
monopoly of propaganda to paid Ger
man agents? Shall teachers be Dun
ished in American communities for
exhorting loyalty to American insti-
tutions? Shall the kaiser be given
control of our public school system?
Fairfax doesn't need a new school
superintendent.
1t does need new school board.

An Appreciation of
Lieut.. lauterbaCh
(From The Reveille)

FROM Inc hoVellle)
Although he has been with US less
than two months, 1st Lieut.. John w.
Lauterbach. at present our company
commander has found place in the
hearts of Co. rs entire membership
and nothing is going to please us
better than that moment which brings
his commission as captain and places
him in permanent command Of this
organization. John w. has all the
qualities necessary for the leadership
of men and his character is as strong
and rugged as his physique. That
determination which we count upon
to lead US through our share of the
world conflict is depicted in a strong
jaw and alert eyes.
Lieut.. Lauterbach is, we believe
the youngest officer commanding a
company in the 136th He has en-
joyed about twenty-seven years and
one month of Minnesota weather and
bravely withstood six months of New
Mexican snow, cold, heat, sandstorms
and the other beauties of the 99.99
per cent rotten climate. He was
born in Redwood Falls, one Of the
beauty spots of the North Star State
and achieved high school educa-
ton. He is a postal clerk in civil
life. His military record is enviable.

LOCAL BOY ON THE TUSCANIA.
FRANK GAB0URY LISTED AMONG
SURVIVORS OF ToRPEDoED
TRANSPORT

Frank Gaboury Of this city, who is
in the engineers regiment, was among
the soldiers on the transport Tuscania,
which was torpedoed and sunk by a
submarine off the coast of Ireland last
Wednesday. It was some time before
the list of survivors came out but word
was finally received that Frank was
one of the survivors and was safe,
thus relieving the anxiety of his par
ents and friends.
Mr.. Gaboury enlisted in the, engin-
eers' regiment but a short time ago
and people here were rather surprised
to learn that he was on the boat. This
incident, on account of the presence
of a Little Falls boy on the boat,
brought to the people here a more full
realization of this war and in fact was
the first time soldier from this city
has actually figured in anything sim
liar.

TIMBER ON MORRILL, ESTATE
BEING CUT FOR LUMBER

The Pine Tree manufacturing WILL
panv has crew Of men at work cut
ting the pine timber on the Morrill, cs'
tate, in Little Elk, now owned by
Charles Knutson. The timber will be
cut into lumber at the mill here. It
is estimated that there are about 6OO,
GOO feet of timber on the tract and it
will take about a month to cut it,
about forty men being employed.
Some of the mature timber is to be
left in it's normal state, and especial
care is being taken by the company in
cutting to protect the younger trees.
This procedure will guarantee a good
deal Of standing pine for future years,
thus preserving to that spot in Morri-
son county, a good deal Of its beautl-
full landscape.

=CHAS. f0RT|fR IS INJURED
TELEGRAM FROM FATHER FROM
NEWPORT NEWS SAYS LOST
FOUR FINGERS

A telegram was received from DR.. G..
M. A. Fortier yesterday morning from
Newport News, Va, where he had been
called on account of an injury to his
son, Charles, who is in the United
States navy.
The telegram stated that Charles
had lost four fingers Of his left hand,
but it did not give the cause Of the
injury. A wire that the young man
was injured was received Sunday eve
ming at 6 O'Clock, and his father left
for Newport News the same evening.
Charles Fortier, who is II years Of
age, enlisted last spring and was sent
to the naval training station at Great
Lakes, ILL.,, and was made coxswain.
He just recently was transferred to
Boston, where he was placed on tho
Nebraska, serving as a petty officer.
A letter received last week Thurs
day from Boston stated that he ex-
pected to be there for a few days, so
it is likely the injury took place while
cruising along the coast.
This is likely the first serious injury
anyone Of our boys has as yet receiv-
ed during the war;.
It is probable that Charles will re-
turn home with his father.
