DON'T FORGET TO WRITE TO THESE BOYS

Here is list of the boys from this
end of the county who are helping to
make the world safe for democracy
At best their lives in training camp
on shipboard and at the front will be
far from pleasant. There are bound
to be some mighty lonesome days
when it will be hard to swallow down
that homcsick feeling; days when 8
letter from "home," no matter who
the writer may be, will look like 9
thousand dollars.
Pick out some name on the ist-it
doesn't matter whether you know the
boy or -not-and write a letter today
1t will do the lad lot of good and
will cost you only three cents and q
few minutes time.
We are going to print this list each
week. If you know the name and adj
dress of any Soldier" boy who has
been omitted, mail or telephone his
name to us.

"A PENITENT GERMAN.

NS
One day last week Collector Of Gus.
toms Edwards Of New York gave out
the following Letter, which accom-
panied check for double the amount
Of his federzi income tax, from Ger
man of that city:
inclose my income tax return
While the amount of this tax is com
puted at $45.2O, I am enclosing a
check for double the amount / dc
this in a spirit of penance, because j
feel that every German or person of
German extraction who lives in this
country should be at least thankful
that he has escaped the tolls of mill
tarism with which Germany, or at
least the rulers Of Germany, have be-
come obsessed.
also wish to state frankly that
have always been and even now am
conscientiously opposed to all war, but
although it has taken me long time
I have finally reached the conclusion
that there is no alternative but to sup
port this country with all our strength
if civilization is not to perish, and /
feel this more particularly and es-
pecially because I am convinced that-if
any good is to come out Of all this
waste and destruction it will only be
through the efforts and leadership of
President Wilson. l hope from the
bottom of my heart that Mr.. Wilson
will still be our president when this
war is over.

GOD BLESS JOHN A. STEPHENS.
In this age Of profiteering, when
some people take advantage of the
necessities of others by charging them
every cent that can be exacted for
commodities they must have, it is re-
freshing to find one genuine patriot,
and such a man is John A. Stephens, a
Will county, Illinois, farmer.
Mr.. Stephens owns 10000 bushels Of
high test seed corn. He is selling it
at 81 bushel: Good seed corn in
Illinois is selling at from $40 up to al
most any limit. Mr.. Stephens refused
an offer from commercial seed house
of $40 bushel. He is quoted as say
ing:

neighbors, I think, and would not sec
rifice it for all the money in the world.
I am an American and I know s the
government is urging bigger crops.

s'THE AMERICANS CREED"

Some time ago the city of Baltimore
offered prize of $1,000 for the most
appropriate version Of "The Ameri-
cans Creed" Last week the prize was
awarded to William Tyler Page Of
Friendship Heights, Md. Mr.. Page is
a descendant of John Tyler, president
of the United States and signer pf
the declaration of independence. Here
is the creed:
I believe in the United States of
America as a government of the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people;
whose just powers are derived from
the consent of the governed; democ-
racy in republic;a sovereignna Of
many sovereign states; a perfect union
one and inseparable; established upon
those principles Of freedom, equality,
justice, and humanity for which Amer
lean patriots sacrificed their lives and
fortunes.
1 therefore believe it is my duty to
my country to love it, to support its
constitution, to obey it's laws, to re-
spect it's flag, and to defend it against
all enemies,

While the Red Cross is doing re-
markable work in the great conflict of
nations we must not overlook the Sal
Walton army, whose fearless workers
are Drawing the perils of war even to
the extent Of caring for the wounded
in the thick of battle and in the
trenches. In the drive on Picardy 200
Salvation army shelter huts were de-
stroyed by the Huns and 400 workers
are missing. This is merely one in
stance Of the way in which these good
people are Drawing danger for human
ity's sake. Members of other religious
denominations should take notice.

Almost Unbelievable.

Chicago, April 5-A CHASTITY illus
tration Of German hatred of American
soldiers is given in a Salvation army
letter made public here today by Ad-
jutant Fletcher Agnew. It was writ
ten in France by Adjutant R. C. Star
bard, who has charge Of Salvation
army hut, to Commander Eva Booth,
who turned it over to Adjutant Agnew.
81 visited a base hospital recently"
says the letter, "and had this story
from sergeant who passed through
one of the raids. The sergeant was
horribly wounded by a grenade, and
was passed by the Germans as dead.
Before the sergeant lost consciousness,
however, he saw a dozen Germans
overpower three American boys and
cut their Threats from ear to ear. The
sergeant said the murder Of the third
American was the most horrible. Four
Germans held him while fifth fairly
severed his head from his body.
II have just learned" continues the
letter, that this same company Of
Americans passed through here today
with their bayonets sharpened like
razors, sworn to avenge the awful
crime against their comrades. What
can you say to men bound on such an
GRAND except bid them strike with all
their might and harder because Of the
righteousness of our cause and the
devilishness Of the enemy 2"

Lester p. Barlow. q Philade1nhia1

Lester p. Barlow, a Philadelphia,
has invented an aerial bomb which he
claims will travel 500 miles and that
by means of it's use Berlin could be
destroyed within 80 days. When shown
the plans Of this bomb the authorities
at Washington admitted the claims of
the inventor, but so far nothing has
been done towards manufacturing
such missile. With the destruction
of Berlin it is not likely that the kaiser
would make any further attempt to
win the war, but order his semi-bar-
barian hordes to lay down their arms.
Why not try out the proposition?

18th Of March we learned for the first
time Of the Nonpartisan nominees for
the Legislature, not only for the 55th
district, but for all the other districts
in the state in which nominations had
been made. We quote from the
Journal:
Few of the 81 former members of
the last legislature received considera-
ton by the personally conducted"
conventions of the Nonpartisan league
held recently. In the list of league
nominees for the legislature made
public today from league headquar-
tiers, are only II members of the last
Legislature. Nominations announced
are from AZ districts, and were made
up from reports handed in at the
leagues convention last week in st.
Paul.
Now, we submit in all candor that
the item from the Union of March %,
reproduced above, was correct. The
list was ''made public from league
headquarters" not from Milaca. Is
not Mr.. A. c. Townley the boss at the
league headquarters If he is not
who is? And is not Mr.. Townley's
residence given in his sworn testimony
as North Dakota? And did not the
Union state the truth when it said,
'and Mr.. A. G. Townley Of North
Dakota has announced the candi-
dates?"
We would have published Mr.. Thil-
quist's letter in last weeks issue of
the Union had it not been for the i'm
piled threat contained in the last
paragraph of the same. Threats, ac-
tual or implied, do not go with us.

that at the proper time we shall dis
cuss Mr.. Townley's (not the farmersO

Governor Burnquist is determined to
convene the legislature in extraordi-
nary session to enact a law that will
permit our soldier boys at home and
abroad to exercise the right Of suf-
frage in their respective precincts.
We doubt the practicability of such a
law, especially as applying to those of
our boys who may be in foreign coun-
tries on election day. If an extra SEES
sion is held no other measure save that
of providing a way for the soldiers to
exercise the right of suffrage should be
considered, and the session ought to
begin and end on the same day.

have been expected when you consider
that it was drinking fountain for. the
bibulous part of Duluth's citizens and
those Of many other dry towns. Pan

Of befuddled persons who crowded the

Our government is particularly leni-
ent with seditionists. It is true that
many Of them are being given terms
of imprisonment, but this is altogether
too light punishment for the offenses
committed, and besides, these human
vipers consume food which could be
put to much better purpose. The
time will come, perhaps, when our gov
eminent will change it's tactics and
summarily dispatch criminals of this
stripe, and the sooner the better. A
seditionist should not be permitted tc

fit only for the food of buzzards anc

At the Nonpartisan convention in St.
Paul, on the 10Th inst, one Thomas
Walter Mills (socialist), of Berkeley,
California, made statement, in an
attack upon the government, that
"wheat was cut one-third in price and
steel was raised two-thirds." Whether
this was woeful ignorance or down
right righteousness the reader may

increased almost double, to $3.50, at
