SUNDAY WORK ON THE FARM

1t is quite right and proper to do
farm work on Sunday if that Sunday
work is necessary to produce food
crops, to help whip Germany. That
is the attitude of the rural churches
of Indiana, expressed recently in con-
ference at Purdue University The
reason given for this position was the
conviction of Indiana rural ministers
that Germany is the worst enemy Of
civilization, and CT every church Of
ciyilization-of all religion every
where, that is worthy the name of re-
ligion; that the victory of the barbar
Gus Huns would be literally the VIC
tory of the devil and the triumph of
that pagan monstrosity created by the
Kaiser's savage and sacreligious mind
and called by him "the good old Ger
man gott;" in short, that every church
in America is fighting for its exis-
tence, Just as every other component
of civilization is fighting for its exis-
tence. and that if Sunday work in saw
ing crops will help overthrow this
bestiaI menace it becomes eritably
q churchly work to do.
This conference of the rural
churches of Indiana was held at Pur-
due University under the auspices of
the Department OF Agriculture

MIN''lESOTA'S PECULIAR
CONSTITUTION

The people of Minnesota have to
thank brewery trickery for the ex-
IRENE difficulty Of putting a prohi-
bition amendment into the constitu-
ton.
Back in 1897, w. w. Dunn then as
now the attorney for the Hamm Brew
ing Company, was member of the
Legislature, and he manipulated a
change in the method of amending the
Constitution of the State by which
every person who votes at an election,
but fails to vote on an amendment is
counted as having voted against the
amendment.
This phase of the subject is fully
discussed in the article by Senator
Jones in another column. Read it
carefully. and pass the information on.
The Minnesota Dry Federation will
conduct such a campaign to reach
the uninterested voters as has never
before been attempted in any state
: None the less, there will be large
body of voters who will fail to know
that the election is on unless you talk.
It will reach the laboring men, the
professional men, the reading public,
the women, the clubs, the farmers, the
young people-everybod everywhere.
yet there will be thousands who will
fail to KNOW the facts in the case IN:
less you talk.
In spite of all opposition the drys
In this state propose to put the pro,
hibiton amendment across in Novern-
Der, and make new record for Mime

Prohibition State Committee in Charge Of the Greatest Out
Door Drive Ever Staged. - r..

The biggest open-air smash in the
present unprecedented drive on,
Booze's Beelzebub line is a big factor
in the battle plans of the Minnesota
Committee, veterans of intensive out
door fighting, has been assigned to
the big artillery operation by the War
Council of the Dry Federation Of
Minnesota. The drive will begin
July 22nd, and close October l3th
and be followed by an intensive man
to man campaign. Rural picnics are
also to feature the offensive dem
onstration and add to it's effective
ness.
To the Prohibition State m-nittce,
veterans in outdoor campaigning, has
been assigned the picnic and street
sector of the allied lines in the 1918
offensive against the Booze lines in
what is believed to be the final fight
for the humiliation of the brewery
autocracy in Minnesota. Last year
the Committee held over eighty pic
mics, and there are now more than 100
scheduled for this year with plans tn
der way for a total of 800 The pur-
pose of these gatherings is primarily
to reach and arouse the farmers, who
are for the most part dry, to the
necessity OF taking a vigorous, active
and aggressive part in the campaign.
The need of taking up this work is
especially apparent in the coun. lies
that have gone dry. In many of these
instances the farmers and others feel
as though the fight is won and nothing
more needs to be done. The great
danger Of the campaign for the consti-
tutional amendment is that apathy

and Indifference based upon the feel
ing that the fight is already over will
be our undoing. In every county the
first picnic scheduled is for the latter
part of May and the last will be held
early in September. The committee
has prepared separate maps of each
county in colors, and is booking the
strongest speakers for these big
events. Requests for picnics are com
ing from all parts of the state, and
warning is given that delays may
mean disappointment.
The Automobile Campaign.
(See Black Circles.)
In the most vigorous campaign that
the Prohibition Committee ever con-
Quoted On the streets 1913 towns were
reached in one year. This year they
plan to reach a total Of 904 towns,
the major portion of which will be
reached with four meetings on the
street. Street meetings, like picnics,
reach group of voters who rarely
attend indoor gatherings. This is
particularly true of the street, where
the careless and Indifferent. are
caught in the crowd, their interest is
aroused and their friendship and CO.
operatio is secured, whereas, other
wise they would. be hostile or indif.
ferent.
Two of these four meetings will be
addressed by outstanding speakers
who will be giving their entire time
to this Campaign. These street ad.
dresses will be particularly adapted
to the audiences for which they are
intended and will be short, snappy,
enthusiastic and appeal to the highest
ideals of citizenship that are newly
awakened to the necessity Of bending
all to the one task of winning this
wal, fol. democracy and humanity

carry special music for interesting
and attracting the crowd. The sche-
dule for the entire campaign has
been thoroughly worked out, the dis
lance and the character of the, roads
taken into consideration, and while
storms and accidents to the machines
may make it impossible for the sche-
dule to be kept in all cases, the ma

SAUSAGE
INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE AS
TO THE AMOUNT OF WATER
AND STARCH IN SAUSAGE.

Vermillion, Jan. 25.-An investi-
cation is being carried on by the
state food and drug department for
the purpose of finding out to what
extent sausage sold in the state is
adulterated with water and starch.
Some time ago Commissioner Frary
gave notice concerning the use of
starch or cereal in sausage and called
attention to the requirements of the
law as to posting signs in shops
where sausage with cereal is sold.
Inspectors of the department were in
structed to send in samples and the
examination OF these has shown that
many butchers and meat dealers are
selling water at meat prices. Under
present prevailing prices this makes
a drink of South Dakota water come
high. An investigation of the
amount of starch used in sausage,
both made by local butchers and that
shipped from the packing plants, is
also being made, and If it is found
that mor than the 2 per cent allow
ed by law is being exceeded prosecu-
ton will follw. Starch and water
only lessen the food value of meat
made into sausage, and the food

ers should not be imposed upon by

STATE NORMAL
NEWS AND NOTES REPORTED
FROM THE TRAINING
SCHOOL.

Prof. b. NJ. Lawrence has been Civ
ing a series of talks on the steel and
coal industries of the United States
using ~stereopticOn views TO illustrate
his theme at the Friday morning as
semblies in the training school.
These talks are of especial interest
and value to the children at this time
in our country's history.
The hot soup at the lunch hour for
the children who bring their dinners
is proving a very popular innovation.
The meeting of the Y. W. c. A.
Wednesday night of this week was
very well attended and the spirit OF
service manifested by the young la
dies and their helpers was such as
augurs well for America in this world
war in which We are now involved.
Mrs. Calvin gave a fine talk to the
assembled girls and their guests. Her
theme was on food conservation as
a patriotic duty. She gave the rea-
sons for the shortages and ways and
means by which we may all assist in
the great task assigned to Mr.. Hoo
yer. Mrs. Calvin is an easy speaker
with a conviction of the righteousness
of the cause she is seeking to further
which makes every statement strike
right home to the hearts of her
hearers.
Mrs. J.. w. Heston was hostess at
an informal luncheon in the domestic
science department of the training
school on Tuesday evening to the
ladies of the faculty in honor of Mrs.
Calvin and Miss Lathrop, members of
the state survey commission, now un-
der way in our state. Following the
luncheon a pleasant evening was
spent in knitting and conversation.
Beside the talk she gave to the Y.
w. c.. A. Mrs. Calvin has given a
series of talks during stay in our
city. The Civic and Child Welfare
club, high school and Normal assem-
bly, were all fortunate in having her

dress.
