BY WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

There are in France and Belgium
today very close to 100000 soldier
graves that would not have been there
had Germany not started a war of con-
quest to crafty the selfish ambitions Of
a selfish people for world domination.
In these graves are buried the
heroes Of America. Of England. OF
France, Of Belgium. Of Italy. Of Can
ada. Of Australia. Of South Africa, Of
India, Of Portugal. Of Morocco. Of
China and other parts of the world
These heroes gave their lives that the
cruelty selfish plans Of the Boche
might be defeated; that the world
might be dwelling place for freemen
and not for the slaves Of autocracy.

punish the nations that have commit
ted the most terrible crimes known to
modern times, at least. BY making the
people of these nations work only that
they may pay.
Among the saddest sights to be
found In the battle areas Of Europe
today Is the lonely grave, the little
cross that stands by itself and marks
the spot where a soldier met death by
q stray shell. There were many, many
thousands Of these seen along the
sides Of the thousand miles Of road
ways covered in Belgium and north
ern France. and In very many cases
they marked the spot where German
shell had caught transport driver as
he guided his truck to or from the
front. The boys who lie In these lone
ly graves were heroic American boys,
heroic French boys. heroic British
boys. and they have paid the great
price that the Boche might not de-
stroy the freedom Of the world. They
gave their all, and whatever the Boche
may be made to pay will be small In
comparison with this sacrifice.
Near what was the city Of Noyon
one may see striking comparison be-
tween the methods Of the Boche and
those Of the nations that have been
fighting the Germans. Here lie buried
side by side both French and German
soldiers. Around each cemetery the
French have built fence. Over each
French grave flies a French flag. and
on each German grave green boughs
have been placed by the French. Such

Severe Lesson for Germany.
German money cannot pay for those
lives, but that spirit OF greed, of wan
tonness, of selfish ambition, that pro-
duced the senseless, needless war in
which they died, must be crushed. and
II can be crushed only by making the
German pay, and pay, and pay, until
he has learned that might is not right
and that war for the purposes Of con-
quest and domination is not profitable.
An American regiment, TO which /
had belonged some years ago, and in
which were enrolled many personal
friends, had fought on that field. As
walked beside the long rows of
wooden crosses, and knew that some
of them marked the resting places of
my friends, ! felt, as any other Ameri-
can would have felt under the same
conditions, that Germany must pay In
order that Germany should learn that

DRIVER ESCAPES injury
Auto Smashed In the Turnover,
But William Skoog Was
Not Hurt

To roll completely over on the
pavement in a Ford car and escape
without injury while the machine
was badly smashed and wrecked,
was the experience of William Skoog
of North Mankato. Mr.. Skoog was
driving south up Front street about
7:45 this morning. The Lindholm
laundry truck was coming east on
Jackson street at the same time.
At the intersection the laundry
truck, driven by A. L. Armstrong
struck the Ford car amidship. The
machine rolled completely over on
the brick pavement. The top Of
the machine was smashed, the wind
shield broken, the radiator denied
and damaged, cushions thrown out
and body and tenders twisted ana
bent. Mr.. Skoog emerged from und-
er the wreckage with only a few
minor bruises. Considering the
damage done the car his escape
without very serious injuries seems
little short of a miracle.
Mr.. SkOog had the right of way
at the intersection. He stated after
the accident that he understood his
car was to he repaired by the Lind
holm Laundry company. T. ;e laun-
dry truck was not damaged in the

Gus Ringing Bros. circus, whose
death at Oak Ridge, N. j., on Tues
day has been announced, was at one
time employed in Winona as Ilar-
ness maker, says The Winona Repub-
lican Herald. The city directory of
1879 shows an A. G. Ringing, voca-
ton that of harness maker, who
boarded at Fourth and Market
streets. Inquiry today revealed that
man named Ringing, possibly the
AL Ringing of the circus, was en-
ployed in the late '70s in the Annis
and Cooper harness shop on East Third
street. William Luedtke, pioneer
Winona harness Makers distinctly re-
calls a Ringing who worked with
him at that time, but is under the i'm
preston that the mems name was
Gus Ringing, another of the brothers,
who died several days ago. The ini-
tials, "a. g." however, indicate that
there is possibility that the Ringl-
ing of the 1879 directory may be the
man who just died.

GREAT INTERESTlSDIS-
PLAYED IN THEM
PAVILION WILL RESULT
Committee Named To Take Up
Matter of Having Building
In Mankato

Livestock breeders and other bus
mess men of Blue Earth county and
surrounding counties are showing
much interest in the plans nov un
derway for the erection of sales and
show pavilion on the Mankato fair
grounds. Those who have seen pa
yilions of this nature in use in sur
rounding localities are enthusiastic
about the plan.
A committee consisting of c. H. G..
Hazel, Mapleton; Richard F. Jones,
Lake Crystal; Arthur Mitchell, j. c.
NARROW, W. R. Adams, and M. R..
Benedict of Mankato is in charge of
the preliminary arrangements for Sc
curing such a building at Mankato.
Showing Of Livestock.
The splendid showing of cattle,
hogs, sheep, and poultry at the Man
kato fair this fall attracted comment
and attention throughout Southern
Minnesota. This is the kind of
advertising that helps every livestock
breeder and every merchant in and
about Mankato However, it was rec
oSnized that to continue to develop
a livestock show of this size and quail
ity, more and better showing facili-
ties would be necessary. With this
in mind, leading breeders have
launched a campaign for sales and
show pavilion, with large barn at
tached. This would give room for
showing all stock in creditable way.
Business Men interested In Move.
hue nf CITY
n UGH interested in the move, as they
recognize that good fair is one OF
the best advertising features a city
can have. Also they are coming to
understand better the importance of
good sales of purebred livestock
which ordinarily bring into the COM
munity from ten to fifty thousand
dollars. These sales, for which Man
kato as a railroad center is especi-
ally we'll fitted, bring the attendant
crowds of buyers most of whom are
good spenders, and thus add consid-
erably to the selling ability Oh the
town.
BIG Livestock Centers.
Such cities as Waukesha, Wis,
have become naturally known as
livestock centers, and their sales at
tract buyers from a radius of hun
6reds of miles. Such reputation
means a great deal in financial re-
turns both to livestock men and mer-
chants.
The work of the Mankato Fair asso-
citation, Blue Earth County Farm
Bureau, and various breeder associa-
tions are developing a very active in
terest in better livestock throughout
this section The county agent has
worked in close cooperation with the
secretary of the fair association. and
the fair is showing the effect of this
team work with the farm organiza-
ton Of the county.

There Was Some Apprehension.
There was some apprehension
about the law of June 20, 1906. That
law makes it necessary for an APP
plicant to be able to speak English,
and he must sign in his own hand
writing, also a first paper cancels it
self after it is seven years old. 1t
was back in 1917, that a United
States circuit court Judge in New
York was to decide as to whether old
first papers taken out under the old
law should be accepted, or whether
the new ven-year Period should
apply to them
I'VE were directed from Washing
ton to refuse old first papers until
this said decision was handed down.
This aforesaid court decided that the
new law should not apply to old first
papers, and we were instructed to
accept them, which we did. Then
this same case was later carried tc
the United States supreme court
and the lower court was reversed
holding that the new law barring
first paEers more than seven years
old should apply to both old law and
new law papers alike. Fortunately
this did not cause any discomfort:
for there were only two who had ac-
tually been instructed to file under
the directions mentioned.
1t is enough to say that the su-
preme court decision referred to APP
plies the new law to every first pa
per whether old or new, and that ii
is necessary for every petitioner to
be able to speak the English Ian
guage, and to have sufficient knowl-
edge of our form of government
Under this new law all who arrived
within our borders after June 80
1906. must apply for certificate of
arrival. The interesting decision ]
refer to was announced on Jan z
1918, in the case of United States VS..

ton made prior to September 81

SPUD THIEVES ABROAD
They Are Active in the Neighborhood
of Madison Lake,

Leon HOen's potato patch was
raided by thieves recently and the
product of seven rows ten rods long,
or about twenty five bushels were
taken, says The Madison Lake Times.
Leo is naturally sore over the loss
and will pay $25 for any information
that will lead to the arrest and con-
viction of the guilty parties.
1t is rumored, also, that someone
has been helping himself to corn by
night and without permission out at
at the Joseph Caller place.
