.'FROM OUR BOYS.
ss OVER THERE.''
Skeptics at Home Should Ponder Well
Reports Sent Home by Our Boys
Who are Facing the Hun in
France.

There is no excuse under the SUN for
the bombing of, hospitals even in war
time But it has repeatedly been done
during the present war by the Hun.
When called to task. for this brutal
disregard of all the rules of war and
mercy, the German high command has
attempted to excuse such actions by
complaining that the hospitals were
located too close to the front line and
the bombing was merely 'incidentar'
The Public Safety Commission calls
attention to the recent attack in force
on group of hospital buildings To-
Gated far behind the British lines,
plainly marked. Twenty German planes
bombed this place Of mercy, all
evidence indicating. that the raid was
carefully planned. It far surpasses all
Of the Huns previous performances Of
frightfulness.
The Hun no longer apologies and he
no longer pleads military necessity
as his excuse for the slaughter Of the
helpless. He glories in his guilt.
The ''Stars and Stripes the official
paper of our forces in France prints
following comment on the above oc-
currence in a recent issue: s
"FatuOus people who still believe,
in the face Of such proof as this, that
negotiated peace with ''liberal'
Germany is within the range Of prob
ability ought to be led quietly by the
hand and placed in a retreat for the
feeble-minded. There is only one way
to deal with the Hun. Thank God we
have learned that way!' =

JOHN BARLEYC0 j
TAKING THE COUNT
w. e. McEwen. "
(Former Labor Commissioner. in Du.
luth Labor WORLDLY

luth Labor World.)
John Barleycorn is fast climbing on
the water wagon with the rest of US
old tanks, by compulsion if not from
choice. He was handed several Sc.
we're wallops this week and in places
on his wasted carcass where he little
expected it.
Old John has gotten more out of the
traffic than any of us who played the
game with him. When we lost he
won. Now he is losing and the whole
nation is rejoicing in his downfall.
He has few sympathizers outside of
his hackers, seconds and time keep
ers, and even they will turn against
him when he takes the final count and
they discover how much more salts
factory it is to ply their energies in
life-glving rather than in death-dealing
avocations. "--~ -~--+~ 49, s-~~->---'- ~
Barleycorn Is a versatile old roost:
err. He has written comedies and
tragedies, burlesques and melodra,
mas, all at the same time and with
the same pen dipped in the same con.
coction he has produced more mon.
ologue artists than all other agencies
on earth, their incoherent rambling
soliloquies resounding through prison
cells and insane wards of every cline.
He has made buns out of bankers
merchants and professional men. He
has taken top-notch factory workers
from their machines, mechanics from
their benches, laborers from fields
and clerks from their desks and sent
them emaciated in body and crushed
in spirit to the gates of hell, and
glOated over their ruin. He has turned
palaces into novels as if by magic
He has transformed happy cottages
into miserable huts with the mere
waving of his poisonous wand: Jeal.
GUS of the bloom and beauty of youth
he has fiendishly plucked the bios.
SONS before their time, and looked on
uncoEcerned while the human plants
wasted and died. Like the man with
the withered arm, he has stood un.
moved at the widows and orphans he
has made He has drowned cheers
with tears, turned joys into sorrows
brought suffering where happiness
and prosperity dwelt, and cheated life
of it's sweetness and fragrance.
This monster whom men defend, as
some do his living prototype across
the Rhine, is now being called before
the bar of judgment to answer for
his multi-crimes. The South has tried
and convicted him. The West has
sent him to perdition with loud &C.
claim. The North has pronounced
his doom. It is left, to the East to
complete the job and drive him from
the nation entirely. Massachusetts,,
the staid old conservative Bay state,
has spoken. All New England will
render the same verdict, as will the
people of Minnesota next November.
Goodbye, John Barleycorn, we see
your finish. You are soon to be mum.
bered among. the evils that were.

RED CROSS NOTES
BY Mrs. F. P. Bernard

Lots of yarn for socks, now on hand.
But I'm sorry to say the girls are not
coming in to knit as fast as I had
hoped they would.
A visit to the Crookston Red Cross
room and also to the Polk County
Chapter showed the same sock troubles
that we so often have, socks knit too
closely and set up with too little give
at the top. This. last means broken
stitches and ruined socks, while those
knit too tightly ,(if they can be worn
at all after washing) are going to be
very uncomfortable on the poor SOL
diers feet. Do let us remedy these de-
fects as quickly as possible.
There are over twenty knitters who
are not reporting as they should. Now
if you have yarn that you intend to
knit, and have been for some reason,
delayed in making up, please phone
and tell me so. Tell me what you in
tend to do with the yarn. After two
months any one ought to either send
in goods or report why they are not
able to do 50. Please do this so shall
not be obliged to ask you about it; and,
remember the remnants belong to the
Red Cross Society.

TRIBUTES FROM
SECRETARY BAKER

Following a tour of South England,
Secretary Of War Baker made this
comment on the work done by tho
American Red Cross for our boys:
"These are the things which count.
The American Red Cross is to be con-
graduated on the way in which it is
looking after our boys. It is doing
fine work"
Following his return from France,
Secretary Baker wrote this note to
the American Red Cross in London:
Il left London so shortly after my
drive to Winchester that 1 had no
early opportunity to thank you for
the courtesy Of the touring car which
you placed at my disposal for the trip.
On this trip to Europe have received
fresh and noteworthy evidence of the
astonishing efficiency Of the American
Red Cross operations in France and
England I have been delighted to see
how much the American Red Cross
has done to weld hearts Of the allied
people together"

TWO BITS A DAY CLUBS

Out in Phoenix, Ariz., a move
ment has been inaugurated for
the formation of 1.-TWO Bits a
Day. clubs, the members of
which are to buy a quarters
worth of Thrift Stamps every
day. Three men each took a
hundred Thrift cards, pasted one
stamp in each card, and sold the
entire lot before two blocks had
been covered.
Two bits" is the old term,
dating back to the early days OF
the country. for a quarter of a
dollar, and is still used in the
South and West. Every patriotic
American now wants TO do his
Bit" the members of these clubs
are carrying out this idea finely
in doing their two bits" every
day. 1t is hoped that 1.-TWO Bits
a Day" clubs will be formed al
over the country in the great
war-savings campaign.

from transporting certain COM
modities less than 100 miles. This
causes the motor truck to become
a national necessity and insures
an enormous demand for trucks,
especially in the one and one and
a half ton class.
1t means that the manufacture
er, the contractor. the farmer,
the merchant, and in fact all
commercial organizations must
have motor trucks and what
these business men need, they
certainly will get. The automo-
bile dealer in any part of the
United States cannot go wrong
in adding a truck line to his pres
ent passenger car line as a means
of fortifying himself against the
uncertainties of the freight sit
uation., This is advice straight
from the shoulder and is nothing
short of a sure thing bet.

THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM

Manufacturers are eXperienc.
ing the most serious crisis OF
their careers in attempting to
keep dealers supplied with cars
at the present time. Factories
are clamoring and pleading TO,
freight equipment and the rail-
roads are taxing their facilities
to the utmost to supply them,
but the government has decreed
that only a limited number OF
freight cars snail be allotted each
month to the automobile industry.
Who suffers? The dealer, of
course.
Can you consistently allow
your institution. your organiza-
ton to remain idle until such
time as the present freight sit
uation is adjusted, knowing that
you cannot supply the demand
for passenger cars? Most Ger.
tainly you cannot.
Then your only outlet is the
motor truck. Dealers have not
as yet begun to realize the rev.
enue to be derived from this
source. The government is going
to give preference to truck ship
ments and naturally enough. too,
because the motor truck presents
the only logical solution to the
present transportation problem
Already a ruling has gone into
effect in some of the Easte IN
,States prohibiting the railroads

WASTE IS CRIMINAL

10 waste now is nothing
short of criminal. Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo.
The duty of the American peo-
pie to economize in consumption
of food and all other materials
as well as save money, can not
be to often or two strongly urged
upon them. The duty is so i'm
perative, its observance so vital
to our country's success, that it
should be kept constantly before
them.
The proposition is plain and
understandable. We have less
ened the productive powers OF
the country by taking 1000, 0O0
men away from the productive
forces of the country; instead Of
producers of one kind or another
the soldiers are consumers of the
products of our farms, factories
and mines, and when the muni-
tions they expend and will expend
against the enemy is considered
they are tremendous consumers
of the manufactured products Of
the country.
A tremendous amount of the
manufacturing energy of the
country has been withdrawn from
manufacturing the things we use
in peace and put to manufacture
ing the things we use in war.
The total loss to the country OF
the productive energy of oul
soldiers and sailors and the d.
version Of a great portion of the
other productive energy of the
country to war purposes lessen
to a great extent the amount OF
material and supplies produced
by the country,
To this condition of lessened
production and increased con-
sumption Of and BY our own men
must be added the extraordinary
demand made upon this country
to supply the armies OF our allies
and to a great extent their popu-
lation with TODD and other ma
terial.
We must meet the condition
that confronts us IN two ways
by the strlctest economy in con-
sumption. for every pound we
refrain from using adds a pound
to be devoted to the uses of ou.
Army and Navy and the milital,
forces OF our allies; and by speed.
ing up our production to tn.
limit. The American people are
going to do all that they know to
be necessary TO win this war-to
shorten this war. They have
only to realize the imperative
duty of economy in saving ana
they will economize and save.
Graham guardian., 1918-01-11
FALSE STATEMENTS HARMFUL

The finances of the whole
country, public as well as pri'
vate. by force Of the national
needs at this crisis are subordi.
mated and adjusted to the great
Liberty Loan. Financing by
railroads or other great industries
and all lesser private financing
must be considered primarily in
relation to the Government loans.
The needs of private interests,
the money necessities of the
business of the country as well
as that of the Government itself,
are all considered by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in fixing the
amount and date of each issue of
Liberty Loan Bonds, and the
effect of the issue of bonds on
all other securities and all other
loans is given due consideration.
The dissemination, therefore,
of untrue information. even when
made in honest belief and with
good intention, is harmful, and
Secretary McAdoo, on December
Goth, issued the following strong
statement, .........
The report that the next issue
of Liberty Bonds will be So, 900. :
900, 900 at d per cent and on
March Is, 1918, is wholly un-
founded. wish | could make
the patriotic newspaper men of
realize how mischievous
and hurtful to the interests of
the country such speculative
statements are. When a decision
has been reached about the next
Liberty Loan, it will be officially
announced. Meanwhile, all other
statements and rumors may be
disregarded.
