Saw the heavens fill with commerce,
argosies Of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping
down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting,
and there rained a CHASTITY dew
From the nations airy navies Crap
ping in the central blue;
Far along the worldwide whisper of
the south-wind rushing warm,
With the standard of the people plung-
ing through the thunderstorm;
Till the war-drum throb'd no longer,
and the battle flags We're furTd
In the Parliament of man, the Fedora

And the kindly earth shall slumber

THE QUESTION
 Win lumber be cheaper? THE ANSWER:

Lumber PRICES must stay UP until lumber COSTS come DOWN.
 If you expect your own wages or in- come to be cut soon, you can expect lumber prices to decline about the same time. and in about the same proportion. Therefore, when lumber is cheaper, you are reasonably certain to have less mon- ey with which to buy it. Wholesale lumber prices in general have advanced since the signing of the armstice. The building trades are striking for more pay. THEN WHY WAIT?
 BUILD NOW, the house you can af- ford to build, and enjoy it while you are here. It may cost little more to-day than five years from now, but you wii have saved five years' rent.
 A bunch of tax receipts will be evi dence of your wealth. A bunch of rem receipts show only what you have con tributed to the wealth of your landlord.

here by enthusiastic nimrods met at

day evening. The meeting was the

was in the chair while Justice Geo.
Hogen acted as temporary secretary,
Jos. Karl having declined the position
as secretary of the organization on
account of having too much work. Ed.
Berg was elected in his place. One Of
his first duties will be to notify the
officers OF the state league that the local
branch has DECIDED to become a member
of the state organization. This action
was taken by the meeting last Wednes-
ay. The dues for joining the state
league are SIS. - Ii

The trip from Brest via the Azores
and Bermuda Islands was made in com
pany Of five destroyers. Che Of then,
the U. S. S. Little, had to be left behind
on account Of engine trouble. These
destroyers have a standard speed Of
II knots, but because the Little,
could not 90 as fast as that the speed was
slowed down to twelve knots. When
they reached the Azores at the port Of
Ponta Delgada they left the Little
behind and proceeded on their way home
December 80. The reason for making
two stops at the Azores and the Bermuda
islands was that they could not carry
their full oil supply.

the Red Cross and the Salvation Arnny

with representatives OF the latter organ

concerned he knows from his own ex-

over to the destroyer "Wainrght'
stationed along side the "Stringham,
he saw George Bigot of New Uln. It
was the first face known to him since
he had entered the service July 10, 1918,

he felt when he saw George, one Of his
boyhood friends.

Merritt McCue left New Ulm July II,
1918, for Minneapolis where he was

3rd. The endorsement of the club
upon the merits Of the Company for The
sale of its preferred stock was never at
any time solicited by my representations
to the club, the State Securities Com
missions approval and license affording
ample satisfaction in this respect, but
the club was asked to say openly whether
the report brought by its two represen-
tatives, who spent hard cash in their
mission as well as their time and energy
was favorable or unfavorable.
4. That the reasons personally ses.
cured from the club members for this
"no decision" verdict were two in num-
Der.
(a) That the club did not want to do
anything that would place it on record
as being favorable to anything that
might be considered in the estimation
of the farmers hurtful to their interests.
o. That the Company had not to
date taken over the brewery property.
I do not object in the slightest to
the Commercial Club publicly accom-
modating the interests of the farmers
even when it lacks the moral courage
to give expression to a simple fact of
which it is convinced, but 1 do openly
protest any unjustifable mud singing
of a superf1uous nature which does not
enter into the simple matter involved
by my application to the club.
1t is we'll to state also proper ad-
vances have been made to the represen-.
tatives of the local creamery to secure.
a fair opportunity to present in full the,
financial and other advantages of the
company's business to the farmers in
terests, if they are open in mind to be
convinced.
Arrangements have been completed
fer the transference of the Brewery
property by contract to the Jersey Dry
Milk and Creamery Co.
In conclusion desire to say that the,
time, energy, and money representing
my personal application toward this
proposition to date has been invested
soley for the purpose Of uniting if possible
general interests in town and country
and no man has been asked to put up
any cash for share of the above stock,
nor in behalf of the company did l ask
the Commercial Club to guarantee the.
money for any part Of it. Opportunity
however, will be afforded local investors.
to personally take some of this stock,
and in view Of what this plant can dc.
for the town and country and its known
possibilities there ought to be forth
coming some representation of local
