St. CLOUD WOMAN
proves Value Of

FOLLOWS ADVICE OF
mrs. Van S|CkLER
(St. Cloud Tribune)

A Tribune reporter was passing the
home Of Mrs. J. w. Smith (Kentucky

ago when he was hailed with:
Say! come here! I've something
to show YOU.
The reporter coined here" and was
guided into the dining-room of the

milk in them. but just as good as
any one could ask for. Don't only
look at them, but eat one"
The reporter ate. The biscuits
tasted like more, and several were
transferred to his pockets for future
reference.
These biscuits were NOT the sort
Mrs. Newlywed makes. They were
light and spongy. A person could
sleep pleasantly on a mattress stuffed
with that sort Of bread.
Mrs. Smith had been experimenting
with a recipe that has been going the
rounds of Florida newspapers two or
three months, copy of which has
been hanging on the Tribune's mis-.
cellany file a month or more, awaiting
a convenient time for putting it into
type.
Mrs. Smith used only grapefruit
juice, some ordinary baking soda
tbicarbonate of soda), the usual
amount of, fat for shortening and
self-rising -four. No COW milk nor
any other ingredient was used.

He was a private of artillery. His
boyish face held lines of WEAKNESS,
and as he slumped down into corner
seat of the car his red corded hat fell
off, revealing that his hair was yell
low and curly. He did not stoop to
pick 1t up. for he fell asleep almost
as soon as he hit the seat.
Few noticed the gray -haired woman
who sat opposite, watching him. She
was gaunt and shabby. One wondered
what she was doing abroad at that
early morning hour. She never took
her eyes off the sleeping lad Pres

AS she passed the boy she bent,

now existing In this state at the

abuses the bill Is designed 10

squarely home to the people the
intolerable and flagitious injus-
tice Of allowing the national SOW

UNION LABOR NOT IN WITH THE
NON. PARTISAN LEAGUE.

The attempt of some Of the leaders
Of organized labor in Idaho to deliver
the union vote to the Non Partisan
league is doomed to failure, If the at
titude Of the typographical union of
Boise may be taken as a fair example.
That body evidently stands by the
right of individual action by it's mem
bers in the matter of party utilization,
and does not propose to submit to the
imputation that. the union has been
gathered into the fold of the Nom
Partisan league or OF any other politi-
cal organization. Acting upon the au-
thorlty of the Boise typographical
union. the president of that body has
published the following statement.
Because the impression prevails
generally that organized labor, as
such, has entered state politics, l
have been instructed by the Boise
typographical union to publicly
deny that there is any allegiance
or working political agreement be-
tween that body and the Nom
Partisan league, the democratic or
republican party or any other po-
litical organization"

NO TIME TO STRIKE.
(Anaconda Standard)


No patriotic American citizen Is
going to strike while our boys are
fighting to the death at the front in
France. 1t would be an act Of dis
loyalty to the country, to the govern
ment to the boys who are shedding
their blood for us in France to seek to
tie up an important industry at this
time. No true American would be
guilty of doing anything Of that kind;
no disloyal American should be per-
mitted to do it.
The situation calls for the earnest,
hearty effort of every American. There
must be no letting down in our en-
deavor. VIE must put the full strength
OF this nation into the war. Every
American must do his best and con-
tinue to do his best until the war has
been won. There is no excuse for the
idler, the Stacker and the striker with
the nation at war and our flag In
danger. This is no time to strike.

RoRAH's MESSAGE TO THE BOYS
IN FRANCE.

Upon the eve of his departure for
France, where he goes at the request
OF the secretary of war; julius Rosen-
valid. member of the national council
Of defense, requested Senator Borah
to give him letter conveying a mes
sage to the boys at the front, and par
.ticularly to those from Idaho and
other western states. To this Senator
Borah replied
"The last few days have been
proud days for all Americans, Our
soldiers have revealed the Ameri-
can character to the world and
justified the faith we have al
ways had in our kind of govern
ment That men could be taken
from the peaceful ayocations of a
peace-loving nation and in so
short a time and with such hur-
ried training, with such |endur-
ance, valor and success meet the
most thoroughly trained and dis
ciplined soldiers in the annals of
war is one Of the marvels of war
fare. And as that splendid cour-
age has been displayed upon the
enemy's chosen battlefield and as
the news has come back laden
with the report of their united and
individual daring, you could feel
the bonds of national unity tight
ening and the spirit of national
pride and purpose growing
stronger day by day. Please say
to them that language is made
quate to express to them our
f gratitude and our pride"
