THE MOST DESPICABLE.

Of all the profiteers those who attempt
to fatten their pocket books at the ex-
pense of the safety or the comfort of the
country's soldiers are the most despicable
Whether frauds affect munitions or equip
ment the principle is the same. Frauds
at the expense of the government are
frauds at the expense of the splendid
young men who have responded with the
offer of their lives to the country's call
for service. The American people are
gladly bearing heavy burden or taxa
ton in order that those men may be
properly equipped for the great task they
have in hand. For them nothing is too
good. The people have right to every
assurance that the men are given the
equipment for which the government
pays. There must be no excess profits to
anybody, and no frauds. Persons who
contemplate frauds against the govern
ment and the soldiers would do well to
understand that in the popular mind they
are traitors, and that for them traitors
punishment is none ftoo severe. New

ALLIES TO ACT ON DEFENSIVE

WASHINGTON, Dec "a. Information
brought back from Europe by American
officials and laid before this government
permits forecast of the Allies general
strategy on the western front for the
next few months at least. The much ad-
vertised German drive is not expected to
materialiZe in the sense of sustained
desperate effort to break through on a
large scale.
/ The Germans now have an advantage
in man power on the western front, but
this is offset, it is explained, by the SUI
periority of the Allies in ammunition,
enormous supplies of which were made
available in anticipation of continued Of
| fensive operations against the linden
; burg line.
| Much more ammunition is needed for
! offensive than for defensive operations.
Arrangements perfected months in adj
vance for the continued hammering proc
esses which the British and French ex-
pected to maintain has resulted in vast
reserve supplies having been distributed
among the British and French forces.
; Because of the marked superiority in
ammunition which rests with the Allies
it is expected by general staff officers
that the Germans necessarily will have
to move slowly in building up their plans
for offence Instead of general desper-
ate forward movement the German high
command is expected to proceed method
ically by assuming the offensive and
hunting for weak spots in the Allies
line to permit local successes.
The detection of Russia will result in
the offence passing temporarily from the
Allies to the\Germans. This is admitted
here The general plan for the Allies
will be to remain on the defensive now
until Americas weight as military
factor increases sufficiently to swing the
balance of military power the other way.

TeiItale Evidence.

An Indianapolis schoolteacher, &C
cording to Indianapolis News, tells the
following story:
A mother and her little boy were
walking down street in which food ad-
ministration membership cards were
especially thick.
"Those people don't have anything
to eat" said the little boy, pointing to
a house in which there was food
card.
''Those people don't have anything to
eat, either" he said at the next house.
"Those people don't have anything to
eat" he said at the next house in which
there was food card.
BY this time the mother began to
wonder what her young son was talk
ing about.
"Those people don't have anything to
eat" the little boy said at the next
house.
what on earth do you mean by say
ing that those people don't have any
thing to eat?" asked the mother.
"They have a card like ours" said
the son.

E. F. Soaring Has Received
instructions From the State
Marketing Chairman

E. F. Soaring, chairman of the
Blue Earth county marketing COM
mittee has received a letter from,
Hugh ]. Hughes of Minneapolis, chair
man of the markets division of the
committee on food production and
conservation, : in which he states
that yesterday the matter of the soft
corn surplus and the question of
what to do with it was before the
state food commission. The follow
ing suggestions were made as be-
ing practical and to prevent losing
the corn.
First: If the corn is still in shock.
as soon as the/ weather moderates
so the danger of machinery break
age is lessened. it is advised that the
unhusked corn be. turned into en-
silage.
Second: 1t, is advised that the corn
be sailed, eight pounds of salt being
used to one hundred pounds of corn.
Farmers of the southern corn belt
recommend the sailing of soft corn.
Third: Where space allows the
corn may be dried by spreading
thinly over the floors.
Fourth: AS far as possible purchase
feeders to use up the local supply OF
soft corn.
Fifth. Local bankers are asked to
finance the feeding operations.
Farmers who desire details of the
plans may obtain them from e. F..
Soaring at Commercial club head
quarters.

RECLUsE IS FOUND DEAD
Lemuel Wickl am, Eighty Years
Old, Discovered In Shack
AT Fairmont

Fairmont, February 5.-Lying on
tumble down bed, partially covered
by ragged blanket, in bare room
near stove IN which there apparent-
ly had been no fire for several days.
the body of Lemuel Wickham, eighty
years old, hermit and recluse, was
found by police officers.
The officers broke in the locked
door and the old mans shack, when
neighbors had reported that Wick
ham had not been seen for week.
1t is believed the old man was
frozen to death last Thursday night
when the mercury registered thirty
five degrees below zero.
Wickham had lived in the same
little hut for more than forty years,
and in spite of his long residence
here was almost a total stranger
even to his nearest neighbos.
1t is believed the dead possessed
considerable sum of money, the story
being that he had received $4,000 life
insurance several years ago when
son of his, living IN Minneapolis, JED.
Wickham was never known to spend
any more than was absolutely neces-
sary to keep him alive, but if he kept
the money in his, shack its. hiding
place is unknown
Wickham is believed to have rela-
tiyes living in st. Louis and a brother
on the Pacific coast.
