compared with this feat carrying Goals
to Newcastle" is as nothing.
The factory-closing order, -nnmerci-
fully fayed by the press and condemned
by the vast majority of persons, had
another vicious resultant Of giving
aid and comfort to the enemy. No one
need doubt that the people of the
Central Powers, reading Of our drastic
methods, will get the impression they
are the cause Of all this trouble. This
thought will give them renewed courage
and confidence, for they will think they
are winning. a
, Domestic distress and loss has no
bearing on the international situation
except as it will probably lower our
morale Such move cannot be whole
some for the war spirit of the masses.
What hurts our economic strength
hurts our fighting spirit and lowers our
offensive vitality. T.-A
Patriotic Americans, however, realize
that the men running the nation have
not only the power but the RESPONSE
bility. The fact that those in highest
authority dared to adopt a measure that
ran counter. to public opinion is con-
sidered evidence that the emergency
was greater than some Of us critics
realize.
There is one feature about the entire
business that is not overlooked. If ser
ious harm comes to the nation we will
know where to place the blame.

creameries. Compared with the rest of
the state Marshall county is below the

tive creameries in Minnesota paid the
farmer an average price, for. the year,
Of so cents a pound for butter fat.
These creameries are now paying from
So to So cents pound for butter fat. A
very large class of cooperative cream
cries in the state paid over As cents a
pound for butter fat for 1916 and are
now paying 81 cents. Poor, half
starved cooperative creameries and
cream buyers paid around 40 cents a
pound for butter fat for -1916. ~
For the year 1916, the cooperative
creameries of the best dairy county in
Minnesota, paid the farmers all average
price of 1915 cents a pound for butter
fat. The average price paid by the 633
cooperative creameries of the state was
34.51 cents. The highest average price
paid for the year 1916 was 1928 cents.
The cooperative >creameries of Mar

age price Of 81 cents. The best cream
cry in the county paid 1916 cents. The
poorest paid $3.50 cents. The best
creamery received 4S,1l2 pounds of but

of: two small a business poor cream, or

Lest We Forget to Do Our Part.

A large printed placard has been
posted in the shops and work-rQoms Of
the Winchester Repeating Arm Com
pany plant at New Haven, Conn, with
the following message:
..They say, who have come back from
Over There, that at night the troubled
earth between the lines is. carpeted with
pain. They say that Death rides
whistling in every: wind, and that the
very mists are charged with awful tor
ment. They say that Of all things spent
and squandered there young human life
is held least dear. It is not the
Ipleasantest prospect for those Of us who
yet can feel upon our lips the pressure
of our mothers goodbye kiss. + : : = :
But, please God, our love Of life is not
so priced as our love Of right In this
renaissance Of our country's valor, we
who will edge the wedge of her assault
make calm acceptance Of its hazards
For us, the steel-sWept trench, the
stiffening cold weariness, hardship,
worse. For you, for whom we go, you
millions safe at home what for you?
- We shall need food. We shall
need care. We shall need clothes for
our bodies and weapons for our hands,.
We shall need terribly and without fail
ure supplies and equipment in stream
that is constant and never-ending.
From you, who are our resource and
reliance, who are the heart and hope of
that humanity for which we smite and
strive, must come these things

The Soft Drink Trade.

With the spread of dry territory. and
the ban of the government on produc-
ton OF hard liquor, the soft drink trade
is getting to be one of the big industries
of the country. Originally it was a
mere hot, weather enterprise, designed
to relieve the thirsty in the torrid
desert of summer weather Now it is
an all the year around proposition, and
appeals to the desire to warm up as
well as cool off, -: & ~
Once soft drinks were run as mere
side line to the drug business. Half a
; dozen favors were dispensed from a
smoke stained and mussy looking old
fountain. Now the drug stores blossom
out with marble and nickle and glitter
ing ornaments. The drugs may be back
in the dark alcoye. In many places soft
drink resorts have become great
palaces, rivaling the most elaborate
bar rooms.
The worst of the soft drink business
just now is that it consumes an enor-
nous quantity Of sugar in the form of
ices and sodas. The demand of the
American people for sweets is some
thing limitless. There are plenty Of
people who can scarcely get through a
day without gulping down their heavily
loaded ices.
With half as much sugar, these con-
coctions would be just as palatable and
not so cloying. Also there are no end
of enticing combinations that can be
made Of the milder fruit acids without
much sugar.
To the confirmed consumers Of hard
liquor, the soft drink places is mere
dispenser Of dishwater. With wry
face the old soakers come around for
their ginger ale in the time Of drought.
But often they find the soft stuff better
than they thought. As a substitute for
the saloon, these resorts serve a most
useful purpose. .= .

The Ortonville Journal and the Cass
Lake Times are among the many week
ly newspapers that have announced an
increase in their subscription price to
$500 per year. In view of = the in
creased cost of paper, type, and other
material that enter into the production
Ola newspaper, the increase is well
justified. And yet, Notwithstanding the
increase in price, newspapers are still
very cheap. We have heard subscribers
say that a single copy is sometimes
worth to them whole years subscrip-
ton and that they would pay that
much if they had to in order to get it.

Closing Factories and its Significance

The nation east of the Mississippi, in
Guiding Louisiana and Minnesota, has
been duly impressed with the coal sit
uatiOn. Our Federal fuel admins
traitor, Dr. Garfield, sanctioned by the
President, inflicted involuntary vaca-
tioning among millions Of workers by
ordering the closing Of factories for five
days and every Monday hereafter.
All of which is already we'll known
and not needing further elucidation.
But the significance Of the thing in
ternationally impresses with more than
domestic considerations.
The point is that the Allies have CON
sidered us as the greatest coal produc-
ing nation on the globe, and rightly !;
and yet they find that we are about as
badly off as they are, as regards dis
tribution.
Il. was only a few weeks ago that
British ships began transporting bunker
coal from England to the English ships
marooned In New York harbor and

0ver. Loco Languages Now;
May Be Only Four Century
Hence, Authorities Think

II you are asked how many Ian
guages there are in the world. can
you give anything like an accurate
answer? The average persons known:
edge or ability to speak languages
rarely exceeds two besides his native
tongue. The late Emperor Francis
Joseph, when visiting Red Cross hos
pital, spoke with the patients in their
own languages, which showed that the
aged emperor was a master of six. s.
1t may appear strange, but it is
nevertheless true, says an exchange,
that there are over 1000 languages
spoken by mankind, while the number
OF dialects exceeds this. There are
more than 60 vocabularies in Brazil,
and in Mexico the Nahua is broken up
into some 700 dialects. There are hun
dreds in Borneo, while in Australia
there is no classifying the complexi-
ties. Assuming that SO dialects, on
an average, belong to each language,
gives the colossal total of a quarter
of a million linguistic abilities.
Some authorities think that q CEN
fury hence there will be only four Ian
guages Of Importance in the world.
Central Europe may produce a newer
and more straightforward German lam
guage, imperial English may reign
alone over the North American CONT
nent, and a more businesslike Spanish
will be used in South American states,
while Russian may take on some more
rich Slavonic dialect, which will blend
the races Of eastern Europe and CEN
trail Asia into harmonious fedora
ton. So that in the future these four
languages will enter into what may be
a never-ending competition.

A FARMERS PROBLEM.

"a farmer hauled two loads Of Wheat
to market, one Of IS bushels, the other
of 20 bushels. The elevator man said
Il will pay you $2.1O per bushel for the
wheat and allow you cent per ID. for
all dockage over 3 lbs to the bushel.'
The wheat was tested and found to con-
tain 8 lbs dockage per bushel.
For what amount did the elevator
man write the farmers check?
Also, If he had not allowed anything
for the dockage, how much per bushel
should he pay the farmer for the net
number Of bushels Of wheat and still
make the check for the same amount?

Now that the city electric light rates
have taken thirty per cent jump many
families will be interested in knowing
that by, :economizing Oh electric lights
they will be assisting to reduce the, coal
shortage. Turn lights off when not
needed. 1t is estimated that if an
ordinary 25-watt lamp is turned of,
even for. short intervals, the. aggregate
saving may easily be an ounce Of coal
every day for each lamp. A 25-watt
lamp used instead of a 4O-watt lamp
saves at least an ounce of coal every
two hours. .s..
