canism assert itself. Too long has
the soft pedal been applied, with the
result that we became "slackers' in
this respect, and almost forgot our
position in life, when the pro-Ger-
man propagandists began their cam
paign, ably assisted by the bolshe-
Wiki element to undermine our gov
eminent and free institutions. Now
is the time to put on the brakes, cut
them short. Wherever you may lind
them, expose them to your friends
and neighbors, whenever you find one
of these traitors to America in
sleeps clothing enjoying the freedom
Of our country, spreading poison
germs which lead toward the dis
truction of our magnificent govern
ment, whether by word or deed, or
both, regardless Of the fact that one
may be a parlor worker and the other
a wild eyed soap box contortionist, if
anything, we reckon the former the
most dan gerous, because he or she
works under cover, eating into our
society many times unbeknown to
surroundings and people which they
prey upon, until serious danger has
been accomplished. Let the people
know that you are an American first,
Last and all the time, let it assert it.
self in your doings, your work and
complishments, and step, expose
and guard your friends and country
against the serpentine workings Of
the bolsheviki in whatever form you
may find them. In fact let us not be
afraid or ashamed of being an Ameri-
can and Americanism will forever be
saved and preserved for America ever
more.

and Eddie Weinberg returned It's
week after most successful deer
hunt with the limit.
Ruben Synness and Clarence Oh
berg returned from st. Paul, where
they had represented our county with
a sheep and pig. Clarences pig
reaped prize thirteen, which must be
considered we'll done, when one takes
into consideration the fact that the
greater part of the state was repre-
scented, and that those southern corn
and pork growers are experts in this
profession. Congratulations Clar-
ence. But Clarence has only just got
his fighting blood up, and promise
that next year if given the opportun-
ity that he will make those southern
Minnesota girls and boys go some be-
fore they land the pork" prize.
The new road under construction
north from Clearbrook is progressing
nicely under tho management OF Ed
ward N Ness and his many assist
ants. This will be new trade artery
for Clearbrook and will be the means
of bringing into our city thousands
OF dollars annually. When finally
completed this highway will top the
Red Lake Indian reservation, and for
the first nine miles will be almost as
= fat as uoor. 1t will eventually be
extended due north until it will
reach WarrOad, the city beautiful on
the mighty Lake Of the Woods, with
its ten thousand islands, and which
in turn will become the greatest play
ground on the American continent,
in the middle west. Clearbrook be-
ing located on the Jefferson highway
which will soon become one of the
o. Se~IOoI AOA III O]Au QUILL LOuIlSL
highways in America, will be the
gateway through which the hundreds
Of people seeking the Lake of the
Woods will travel, because the
direct road to that point
will leave the Jefferson highway here
at Clearbrook. Thus will be seen
that in place of representing only one
highway to Clearbrook, 1t will in all
reality represent two big highways
from which the people here will draw
trade. Let US all push for the speedy
completion of this work which will
in turn mean SO much to true devel-
opment Of Northern Minnesota and
its people.
