MILLER FIGHTS LEAGUE

"Minnesota's immediate motto
should be Destroy the Nonpartisan
league" said Clarence B. Miller
congressman, on his return to Wash
ington after a two-weeks' speaking
campaign in Minnesota.
Minnesota is. strongly patriotic on
the WHOLE" said Mr.. Miller. The peo-
pie are contributing to war support
and war service in way that is
surprising. There is just one evil
influence in the state, and that is
the Nonpartisan league.
"Some men in this league are 10y
al, many of them are, but all the dis
loyal men are in the league or asso-
ciated with it. The leadership of the
league is distinctly seditious. The
influence of the league is unpatriotic
and a serious menace.
cts influence is greater in Min
nesota than most people seem to
think.
Congressman Miller predicted de-
feat for the league at the elections
"The leaguers are not going to
win," he said, loyal Republicans
and Democrats alike will be arrayed
against them, but all loyalists should
unite Immediately to accomplish that
end.
"This is my deliberate judgment
after covering every corner of the
state. Minnesota's immediate motto
should be, Destroy the Nonpartisan
league"

being presented with the proposition
of giving their property to the Red
Cross. It is statement so frank and
unambiguous as to leave no doubt
about the feeling of the persons who
indorsed it in so striking way. 1t
explains comprehensively, even if in
few words, the revolution in mind
that Germans in America have un-
dergone, or must undergo, and it
points out Enthusiastically the only
sure foundation on which their con-
tinued citizenship in the United
States must rest.
ct perhaps would be presumptu-
Gus for the JOPLIN Verein to have
publicly invited like organizations in
other cities in tbs country to follow
is lead, but the invitation is plain
enough, notwithstanding. It has
set an example richly deserving en-
ulation. AS an organization, or as
the particular organization it hap
pened to be, it could do no more than
it has done to help win the war and
to preserve a u nited, enthusiastic
American citizenship"

A TURNVEREIN TURNS TO THE
RIGHT

The Red Cross will benefit to the
extent of $4,000 by the gift of prop
erty valued at that figure by the
Turnverein Club of Joplin, Missouri.
The Globe of this city sees here a
precedent that ought to have coun-
.try-wide imitation. With the vote
of this gift was passed vote to dis
band for all time, and the members,
as The Globe asserts, observe more
than the approval of their fellow
townsmen and the happiness that
good deeds bring
"They deserve the honor of start
ing a countrywide move that would,
should it generally prevail, result in
magnificent help for the Red-Cro
work and welcome proof of the sin
cere loyalty of the great majority Of
the German born or German-blooded
people of ur land.
"Should there be any who decline
to accept the simple gift of valuable
property as a proof Of the spirit be

BARBERRY OR BREAD

Burberry bushes in your yard or

rect cause of the loss of large field

was about 2OO,OOO,00O bushels; it
may be greater this year. Which

berry at best is only ornamental. 1t
spreads rust.
At this time of year these plants
may be recognized by the following
characteristics:
The common barberry, green or
purple variety: (the condemned spe-
cies.)
Shrubs, four or more feet high.
Leaf buds usually an inch OF more
apart.
Spines, mostly three branchec,
sometimes one, sometimes five, and
about three ourths inch long.
Fruit borne in clusters like cur
rants.
The Japanese barberry (B. thumb

Height: less than three feet.
Leaf buds about one-half inch
apart.
Spines usually not branched and
usually less than one-half inch long,
Fruit borne singly or in twos OF
threes like gooseberries.
When in foliage, the shrubs are
readily distinguished by their leaves
The common barberry leaf is more
than 11a inches long, having short
spiny teeth along the edges. The
Japanese barberry has leaves mostly
less than IL inches long, with nc

explosion took place which blew out
part of the plate front and scattered
fire to all parts of the store at once.
At this time nearly the entire inter-
Tor Of both departments was ablaze.
One hose was used from the rear
and the other through the front
doors and in about 20 minutes the
fire was under control. The damage
to the stock is estimated at $4,000
and $4,000 on the building, all of
which is partially covered by insur-
ance. Two families living over the
store, the Bellands and the Dysarts
were at the mercy of the fire as
nothing could have been saved as the

Urls! MAKE A :
BEAUTY LOTION
WITH LEMONS +:

At the cost Of a small jar Of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare
full quarter pint of the most Won
derful lemon skin softener and COM
plexion beautifier, by squeezing the
juice of two fresh lemons into a bot
tie containing three ounces of orchard
white. Care should be taken to strain
the juice through fine cloth so no
lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan and
is the ideal skin softener, smootherer
and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint Of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. It should naturally help to
whiten, soften, freshen and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. It
is truly marvellous to smoother rough.
