little attention to the fighting weapons
that nature has put inside their
mouths.
But greater mistake could not be
made. AS a good soldier carefully
cleans and oils the rifle that has been
exposed to wet and to rust, so the
wise soldier carefully cleans and
brushes the teeth that will be impor-
tant to him and contribute to his hap
piness and health and success twenty
five and fifty years from now, when
that rifle and this war will only be
memories to him.
Bring back your teeth in good or
der, young soldiers.
Take care of them even though the
men about you do not take care OF
theirs. You are tired, sleepy, could
"drop in your tracks," you will not
even take off the clothes which you
wear, but sleep in khaki. Very well!

elastic muscles.
Bring back your teeth sound and

Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters
and friends should remember the SOL
dier's teeth when they remember the
soldier.
Make sure that he has a good tooth
brush-better still, two of them
when he leaves, and supply of the
kind of dentifrice that is conveniently
carried and is conveniently used even
in the dark.
When the soldier moves he is apt
to leave the little things in the hurry

asm.
While he sings, "Where are we 60
ing from here" light-heartedly, you
find out where he is going and send to
that place another supply of the denti-
frice that takes care of the teeth.
When young lad sees that you
have taken the trouble to remember
he is ashamed not to use what you
have taken the trouble to send.
Remember this fact, for it is fact.

With one leg cut off you can think

periods in his home in the future:

periods in his home in the future:
Certainly the jealous wife does not
help her cause by nagging; for there
is no way so swift and sure by which
to drive man away from you to an
other as by nagging. Let wife make
herself perpetual fault finder at
home and she sends her husband
straight as a die to the other woman
to be comforted. Thus has many a
wife developed her husbands slight
fancy into an affinity.
In the end it is bound to be ques-
tion of honor between the two, and so
the wife who goes through her hus-
bands pockets looking for letters in
feminine handwriting, and who pops
into his office to see whether he has a
goodlooking stenographer or not, and
who makes him establish an alibi for
every minute that he is out of her
sight does nothing to safeguard her
own interests.
She only puts premium on his de-
ceiving her, for her suspicious make
him feel that he'd better get the ben
eft of her doubts. One had as we'll
be hung for sheep as lamb, you
know.
So I say to this jealous wife, forget
your husbands one little step aside.
Be good to him. Be cheerful, affec-
tionate and charming to him if you
want to keep him and make him think
you are the pluckiest little woman and
the finest comrade man ever got.
There's not much, you know, in a
green-eyed, nagging wife to keep a
man nailed to his own fireside. That's
the reason that jealousy is boomer
ang that always flies back and ami
hilates the jealous one.

the Association has done during the
past few months would require too
much space to rehearse in detail, but
here are just few Of the things which
is evidence that our businessmen are
not spending their money in keeping
the organization running without ct
ting tangible results.
When the seed and feed situation
looked it's worst, the Association got
busy and sent A. A. Robinson, chair
man of the Agricultural Committee OF
the War Work Division to Fargo, who
conferred with DR.. Ladd, placing be-
fore him the situation in the north
west just as it is, with result that
DR.. Ladd secured a revision Of the
grinding order, which will permit the
mills to furnish cheaper feed at the
time when it is needed the most. Mr..
Robinson has demonstrated that ne is
more than a mere figurehead.. Mr..
Robinson also accompanied Chairman
Robe of the Ward county board to
Minneapolis, assisting him in secur-
ing feed and seed for Ward county.
Secretary Holbein of the Association
conferred with Mr.. Case, of the U. $.
Food Administration in Minneapolis
and laid the proposition of securing
cheap mill feeds for the northwest at
once before them in forceful man
ner. The Association was also instru-
mental in securing cars to bring the
feed west and in securing transporta-
tion for the 500 tractors which will
be sold out of the Minot territory
this year.

A farmer reader of the Independent
called our attention to the fact that
horses and cattle belonging to his
neighbors have been running over his
fields of tame grass and winter rye

two weeks, doing an unlimited amount

that it makes little difference if they

Minot's first soldier has been sacri-
feed on the alter of freedom from
worlds despotism. Frank Midak, an
Austrian by birth, but at heart one of
our truest Americans, volunteered to
cross the Atlantic that he might fight
for humanity, even tho he might have
to face the sons of his mother country
in the conflict. During his compare
lively short residence in America, he
learned the difference between Prus-
sianism and Americanism and learned
to love the country of his adoption
with more fervency than he had ever
felt for the Fatherland. American
ideals had taken such a hold on him
that he could not resist the tempta-
ton to enlist to do what he could to
stamp down this scorpion which
threatens the freedom of the entire
world. Minot will never forget the
services that Frank Midak has rem
dered. There will be countless other
Frank Midaks who will freely lay
down their lives for this great cause.
Reports may be expected at an early
date Of other sacrifices made by the
brave young men of Minot We nov
realize more than ever what war
means and the part which America
must take in it.

North Dakota millers are allowed to
grind 80 per cent of their monthly al
lotment of grain, and so per cent of
their receipts from farmers without
restriction under an order received by
DR.. f. F. Ladd. state food administra-
tor, from Washington Tuesday morn
ing. DR.. Ladd asked a modification
of the order permitting grinding only
70 per cent to keep the mills busy,
and provide farmers with feed. The
government recently issued an order
permitting the mills to grind only 80
per cent Of their average for the three
years grinding prior to the war, the
years 1911, 1912 and 1918. Many of
the mills have already ground up to
the rs per cent of the 90 per cent of
the allotment and then there was
nothing they could do except to close
down and wait for the other mills to
catch up. This worked terrific hard
ship in northwestern North Dakota,
for the farmers are depending largely
on the bran and shorts for feed. This
feed costs them approximately a cent
and a half pound, which is a great
deal cheaper than oats at three and a
half cents a pound. Since closing
down two weeks ago, the Minot Flour
mill has been unable to furnish the
farmers with any bran and shorts, but
expects that the government wheat
will arrive so that the mill can be
run again beginning with the first of
the week, so that within short time
this mill will again be able to supply
the farmers with bran and shorts. The
Russell Miller mill of this city has
been shut down temporarily, but the
manager, M. F. Mulroy, is now in
Minneapolis and hopes to be able to
resume grinding some time next week.
Mr.. Mulroy is endeavoring to secure
several carloads of shorts and bran
to be shipped to Mtnot and other
North Dakota points, to supply the
elevators that are now trying to get
some of this feed, and he will in all
likelihood be successful. This will re-
lieve the feed situation a great deal.

for instance would permit the Allies to
