JUST ONE PUNCH LEFT"

Are the Central Empires slowly
disintegrating before our eyes?
A general strike is reported to have
taken place in Berlin.
Austria is reported to be torn with
internal troubles. and on the verge
OF starvation.
Troops on the eastern front are
deserving when ordered to the west.
Turkey is said to have 100000
bandits who have deserted from her
armies.
Perhaps it is all true. 1t makes
pleasant reading for those who have
sons, brothers, sweethearts or friends
in France or on the way.
But any old devotee of the prize
ring will tell you the man with Just
one punch left" is the most danger
GUS of opponents. Many a defeat
has been turned into final victory,
by the trick Of coaxing an antagonist
into the belief that nothing is left
but to finish 1t off,, inducing him 20
leave an opening and then
putting over the knockout punch.
Germany may be disintegrating,
but sho has a knockout punch" left,
and the hope that the war will be
all over in sixty days" is dangerous
poison.

LAST STAND OF WEALTH.

The last stand of entrenched
wealth and of the privileged classes
in this old world, is being made in
Germany today.
Russia is controlled by the Boil
sheviki. The British labor party
dominates English policy completely.
In America, the forces of democracy
with a small "a, are in the saddle,
and even Mr.. Schwab predicts the
workers will control affairs after the
war. In France, the Socialist party
is the big factor in national politics,
even though it may not be actually in
control.
In Germany alone the wealthy and
the nobility still hold the reins of
government. They are following
rule or ruin policy, and will wreck
the German Empire before they will
ingly yield to the growing unrest Of
the people.
If the forces opposing democracy
in this country, placed selfishness
above patriotism, or placed love Of
class distinction above love Of coun-
try, they should be found secretly
the hands Of Germany.
Yet they have been so outspoken for
the Allies that this has been classed
a rich mans war.
On the other hand. il the radical
forces OF this and other countries,
were sincere or saw the trend Of
world events, they would be whole
supporting the war aims Of
the Allies. Yet wherever you find an
extreme radical, in America or Eu-
rope. il you scratch him, you will
find q pro-German.

To go home and slop the hogs. He

mark was an impatient outburst and

kota farmers that what ne did with
the stores he was starting with their
money, was none Of their damn
business. He started something. or

New York, Jan. s1-John G. Knox,
assistant United States district attoT-
ney. has announced that war gossip
had reached a point where the depart
ment OF Justice deemed il its duty 10
deal promptly with all baseless ru-
mors and those who spread them.
He made the announcement after a
FEDERAL grand jury for three houru
had questioned G. s. Thompson, for
mer organizer of the American De-
Tense society, Who recently made
statements that fourteen spies had
been shot in this country and that
two ships carrying small arms ana
ammunition for the Germans had
cleared from the port Of New York
Both of these assertions the govern
ment denied.
''Tf a citizen thinks he has import
ant information bearing on the
war" said Mr.. Knox, the
place to report 1t is to the.
government, not in restaurants or
Saloons or railway cars. The depart
ment OF Justice and the administration
have had enough of these rumors.

they undermine public confidence and

EAST FACES
SECOND BIG
COAL FAMINE

Washington. Jan. Sl.-Largs SEQ
tions OF the east face a coal famine
within the next few days as a result
of further hampering of railroad
transportation by Wednesdays snow
and ice storms. Reports reaching
the railroad and fuel administrations
Wednesday night showede New Eng
land, parts Of Pennsylvania, and dis
tricts along the Atlantic seaboard in
worst condition, and there were indi-
cations that many industries will be
forced to stop operations for a few
days for lack of fuel.
The railroad administration has
done all possible to meet the emery
ency it was said and developments
must depend almost entirely upon
weather conditions. Snow was
promised for most OF the country
east OF the Mississippi today.
May Extend Freight Embargo.
No new orders for q general indus
trial shut down are planned by the
fuel administration, but the pref
erential treatment OF coal shipments
for domestic consumption, for ships,
and essential industries will con-
tinue. An extension of the freight
might be considered by the
railroad administration to assist rail-
roads to move coal, 1t was explain
ed, except for the fact that very lit
tie general freight is now being ac-
cepted for eastward movement by
any lines.
Reports to Director General McAdoo
indicated that the west bound move
ment of freight Wednesday was near
~ 10 per cent under that of Tuesday.
Most OF il was coal. The return
Of empty coal cars to min |
ing districts was slightly better, ex-
cept in West Virginia, Kentucky, and
where floods still restricted |

No CamOuflagG
In This Story
Says corns Stop Hurting, Then
Lift Right of Without
One Bic OF Pain

Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lock-
jaw or blood poison, which is need
less, says a Cincinnati authority,
who tells you that a quarter ounce
of a drug called freezone costs hut
a few cents at any drug store but
is sufficient to rid ones feet of every
hard or soft corn or callus without
even one little twinge of pain.
You simply apply a few drops Of
this freeZone on q tender, aching
corn and the soreness is instantly
relieved. Shortly the entire corn can
be lifted out, root and all, with your
fingers.
This drug is sticky but dries at
once and is claimed to just shrivel
up any corn without inhaming or
even irritating the surrounding tis-
sue or skin.
II your wife wears high heels she
win be glad to know OF this.-Advt.

Mr.. ToWNLEY AND THE

II Mr.. A. c. Townlsy were a pri-
waite citizen, the amount Of money
he invested in Liberty Bonds would
ne more or less of q matter between
himself and his conscience.
But Mr.. Townley in his speeches
in North Dakota last summer pub
licly discouraged the sale OF Liberty
Bonds. Since that time he has come
to his senses, and in his public
upeeches has repeatedly urged his
listeners to buy bonds. He has
ncrupulously observed the outward
signs of loyalty. and his papers have
protested vehemently that he was
siandered.
But in his bankruptcy proceedings.
Il developed that Mr.. Townley
thought he owned one Liberty bond
Of 500 but wasn't sure. He thought
asome Of the boys around the office
had bought one for him" but he
wasn't certain.
Was it the real Townley that
spoke at winiston. or was 1t the
real Townley that is speaking now
when he has realized that the farm
ara of North Dakota won't stand for
any half hearted loyalty? His ac-
lions, revealed in his own sworn
testimony. provide the answer. He is
convicted out Of his own mouth.
