FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS

After. discussing the matter with
many business and professional men
and homesteaders from different
parts of the county, I have decided
to become a candidate for the nom-
ination for the office of register of
deeds for Beltrami county at the
primaries to be held in June. If
elected I am confident that I can
discharge the duties of the office
to the satisfaction of every resident
of the county. I have been a resi-
dent. of Beltrami county for many
years, both as a farmer and business
man, and have devoted considerable
time to public affairs. I intend to
see as many of the ratepayers as
possible before election but should
/ not see you all I respectfully ask
your consideration of my candidacy,
and T would very much appreciate
your support and avote. believe
that every officer should make it a
point to do all he can to win the war,
even if his office is not directly con-
nected with the handling of war
matters, and if elected I shall use
every influence at my command 20
make the register of deeds office a
factor in promoting matters of a
patriotic nature.

MORE MEN NEEDED
FOR THE MARINE CORPS

Upon telegraphic order from
Washington the Marine Corps re.
cruiting officers at this district and
all over the country have resumed re
cruiting, One hundred men will be
accepted a month for the quota of
Colorado and Wyoming for the "sea
soldiers"
The Marine Corps was the first or
ganizatton to fill up to war strength
after the declaration of the war,
which speaks of its popularity.
U. S. Marines are trained as in
fantrymen, artillerymen, signal men,
engineers, etc. Some Marines are
aviators, too, and all Marines know
many of the duties of the sailors. U.
s. Marine Corps service Is on land,
at sea, and in the air. Marines are
given wonderful training, and the
Marine Corps training camps are
numbered among the best in the
world.
Enlistments in the Marines will be
accepted for the duration of the war
If so desired. Drafted men will be
accepted If they have the permission
of the local boards to enlist volun-
tarily.
Officers in this branch of the SER
vics will be chosen from worthy en-
listed men, so if you want to be an
officer in the Marines you must first
enlist.
Recruiting for this branch of the
service is done by their own offices
so If you want to enlist in the Mar
inc Corps you must apply at the Mar
inc Corps recruiting stations.

YOU MUST BE 100
PER CENT AMERICAN

When the war for democracy shall
close in victory for our nation, the
United States government will pos.
sess a complete and accurate record
of every man in the country over 81
years of age, as to the course which
he pursued during the war. This
record will embrace every utterance
which he made opposing the war or
discouraging our soldiers; every dis.
loyal act which he may have per-
formed; every refusal to assist the
government with his time or money !;
record as plain as that which we
are told will be produced at the judg
ment seat of God. There will be no
escape from it, and the condemnation
placed on the Tories of the Revolu-
aonary war and the Copperheads of
the Civil war will be heaped with ten
fold severity upon these recreants in
the war for liberty and the rights of
mankind. Their descendants will
mourn that they can not be eligible
to patriotic societies. Their pathway
to public honors will be closed. Busi-
ness opportunities will not be open !;
society will be cold and hostile, and
to their dying day they will regret
that In the time of their country's
peril they came not to her rescue.
Like Philip Nolan, they will be with
n hN
buy Liberty bonds when they are
able to do so, who will not contrib
ute to the Red Cross, the Y. M. c..
A., and other patriotic purposes, who
criticise the conduct of the war and
predict the failure of our armies,
may well take warning from the fate
of the Tories and Copperheads, and
consider now before it is too late
what will be the consequences to
themselves and to their children and
their children's children.
1t is no time to discuss the causes
OF the war, nor whether it is being
properly waged in all respects. 1t Is
the hour to fight for our country and
for mankind, and to encourage in ev-
cry possible way those who are in
the trenches or on the way. Woe to
the Stacker. Woe to the disloyal. Re
member Mordecai's warning to Es.
ther, that if sLe failed in the hour
OF trial. thou and thou fathers
house shall be destroyed" We must
win the war, or be destroyed by it.
We will remain Americans, or be-
come Huns.

new RULES ON WHEAT
ONE AND oNE-HALF POUNDS PER
PERSON PER WEEK.
Enthusiastic Support Of Food Program
by People Of Colorado 10 Sure.

New and sweeping rules for the con-
servation of wheat flour given out by
the United States Food Administra-
ton are now effective. The amount OF
flour permissible to sell to one person
at one time has been reduced and
every housewife is asked to reduce
the flour used in the home to one and
one-half pounds per person. per week
Bakers and hotels have been partic-
ularly hard hit by the new regulations.
Commencing at once bakers are to use
only seventy per cent of the flour they
used on an average for the four
months prior to March l. This will
result in a curtailment of bread avail
able for sale.
The rules have been drawn up as I
war measure. Thomas B. Stearns.
U. S. food administrator for Colorado.
is confident that Colorado will respond
with characteristic loyalty and willing
ly observe the rules so that our asso-
ciates in the war may share our
bread.
Colorado has helped send "over
there yearly rations for 57,100,000
people, 3S4,0O0.0OO bushels of wheat
and wheat flour. 100000 pounds OF
pork, 1,944.0O0.000 pounds of sugar.

LUKE meLukE SAYS

The average man believes that
/ whistlers in the world, and that he
is one of them.
They are doing so many stunts
with airships nowadays that it would
net surprise us doggone bit to see
two picked mines of aviators pull off
ball game in aeroplanes with cap
tive balloons as bases.
Poker is great game BY the
time you have learned it thoroughly
you haven't any money left with
which to get into game.
Any mother can tell you that ev-
cry time she cleans out her small
sons pockets she finds half dozen
things that belong to her.
Advice on matrimony is like ad-
vice on some other things. 1t is a
| good deal easier to give than it is
to take.
Every man numbers among his ac-
quaintances two or three fellows who
can't even tell the truth without ex-
aggerating.
The best advice we can give to a
man with money is that he should
let his companion do the talking for
him.
Luck is a. mighty good thing to
have. But man never gets enough
of it to push him up the Hill of Sue
sess.
About the only time a man doesn't
overestimate his size is when he
picks fellow his size to fight with.
If some men didn't tell you every
five minutes how smart they are, you
would never even suspect how smart
they are.
About the time he begins to get a
sneaking idea into his head that he
was mistaken when he imagined that
he wasn't worthy of her, the honey
moon buys nine dollars worth of car.

One nice thing about having a
wife is that she doesn't expect you
to bore yourself to death trying to
say witty things to entertain her. All
she wants you to do is sit and lis
ten.
A lot of men who are writing
books, explaining how to pay off the
national debt, never get a chance to
finish them, because they have to
get up every minute or two and go
to the door and stand off the grocer
and the butcher and the milkman
