Of Worthy Mention,


1t is indeed seldom that we elders
pass esriously upon the advice or sug-
gestions of the younger generation
but here is case wherein a beneficial
lesson can be learned. A number of
youngsters inbibed with the circus
spirit fell upon the boyish idea to hold
miniature circus in large barn at
home of one of the managers" An
admission fee of two cents per per-
son finally realized about two dollars
at the entrance and this money was
presented by twelve Of the performers
with pride expanded chests at the
Red Cross headquarters on Monday.
This Is truly cOmmendable lesson,
a patriotic example and a pattern for
the patriotic desires of the older folks.
This same group of boys figured in
another show some weeks previous
and again two dollars were given, this
time expended in Thrift Stamps. Ye.
elders, behold and do likewise. s%-:1%

Their presence there, and the con.

Their presence there, and the con-
slant arrival of seemingly endless
lines of transports across the ocean
is putting renewed spirit and pep into
the war-worn nations with which we
are allied in the tremendous conflict.
Our participation has just begun.
Unless some new development arises
which is not now in sight the road to
final victory is going to be a long
and tedious one, which will demand
greater and greater sacrifices. Be-
cause OF the initial success in the par
ticipation of our troops, we must not
permit ourselves to be carried off
with false optimism, for trials will
in all probability come that will test
the heart and determination of our
folks at home as we'll as the boys at
the front.
America as great peace loving
nation, was slow to anger, and loath
to enter the conflict, but being once
aroused, will fight to the finish, and no
sacrifice will be too great in order
to win the final victory for the free
dom. of the world from dictation from
WarlOrds and autOcracV.

THE WAR AND THE NEWSPAPERS

The war industries board has order
ed reduction in size of daily and Sun.
day papers. The weekly papers have
been requested not send out sample
and free copies in order to save the
paper supply and conserve the raw
materials consumed by the mills. In
obedience we have cut out sample
copies, and materially reduced our ex.
change list.
Since the war started, The Willmar
Tribune has sent copies of each edi.
ton to all men from this county of
whom we have the addresses. This
we know has been appreciated by the
boys. This order from the war indus.
tries board, however, makes it impos.
sible to continue this practice of send.
ing free copies in this way. But we
have made an appropriation by which
we will send one copy to the Y. M. c..
A. reading room in each training
camp in this country In this way it
may be still possible for our boys who
may not be subscribers, to keep in
touch with the weekly news at home.
A year ago last fall the pr0fiteers
in the news print business cornered
the supply and raised the price from
rs cents per pound to 8 c. This caus-
ed us to announce raise of the price
OF our paper to $500 per year. How
ever, federal regulation brought down
the price of paper soon after to &C
and we never enfored our new rate.
Since this spring the price of print
has been rising slowly, until it is now
quoted at 5.25 cents. Paper houses
claim it is hard to get at any price.
What the future has in store, no one
can foretell. A list CT over $500 pay
ing subscribers gives The Tribune a
source of income not received by many
country papers, and If these subscrib-
ers will come to our assistance by
prompt renewals it will help us to
pay our large paper bills promptly and
make 1t possible for US to continue
our present rate.

IN THE MIDST OF GRIM WAR

The Importance of the part Ameri
ca is taking on the Western battle
front is emphasized these days by a
constantly growing casualty list Mon.
day, broke the record. The number of
casualties reported on that day ex-
ceeded seven hundred, more than
four hundred of which were the names
of heroes who had given up their
lives for their country. How long a
period this report covers or upon
what dates the casualties took place,
is not published, but there is a new
list every day, which proves that per-
Tod covered in each case is not long.
Il More than three hundred thousand
American soldiers were transported
across the ocean in July, and in spite
aOf all what the dreaded submarines
could do not one American transport
was disabled. The record for August
will exceed that of July, we are in
formed, and full million recruits
will continue to fill the preliminary
training camps in this country in order
to sreplenish and augment the expe-
4 dictionary forces in France from month
to month.
The shipbuilding program has more
than been fulfilled, and ships are be-
ing launched at rate undreamed of
before in the worlds history. The
anxiety felt at the outbreak Of the
war in regard to lack of shipping is
gradually wearing away, as the hun.
dreds of ship yards are bending to
their great task.
And so in all lines Of preparedness,
remarkable progress is being made.
Our boys are not going to lack any,
thing in the way of equipment and
supplies with which to fight the enc

# The mettle of our boys who have
scrossed over has been tried. 1t has
stood the test, and won the admira-
stion and hearty approval of our allies.

ADJUSTMENTS

The scenes of 1.-THE Claw" Clara
Kimball Young's latest Select Picture
which will be seen at Dreamland to-
day are laid in the Kaffir country of
Africa, and many wild animals indi-
genous to that continent are shown
in the earlier scenes-hippos, hyen-
as, lions, tigers and elephants. In fact,
the charming star has to face one OF
the animals at close range during a
night spent on the trackless veldt,
and it is the sound of her revolver, as
she fires at the cleaning eyes of the
beast, that brings Major Anthony Kin.
sella, or Kim" the hero of the story,
to her rescue.
Louis Physioc, who is responsible for
the beautiful photography in 'The
Claw" says that wild animals are
much more difficult to handle before
the camera than the stars, and more
temperamental.

$4,000 CONVENT
MORTGAGE BURNED

Thursday evening, despite the in
clemency of the weather, young and
old f1ocked in hundreds to st. Joseph's
auditorium to witness the burning of
the 100000 mortgage on st. Joseph's
convent.
The program was opened with the
singing of America" followed by a
piano duet by Genevieve Winchester
and Marietta Kiefer.
Father Durward made few remarks
complimenting Father O'Reilly and
people of ST. Joseph's church on the
marvellous achievements of the past
six years. Then before burning the
mortgage, Father O'Reilly briefly re-
viewed the work of the past six
years and in startling figures revealed
to his people what their combined per-
severing efforts and sacrifice have &C.
complished in that time.
He showed them that the expendi-
lures in liquidating old debts, in new
