Precautionary.

''Two gentlemen, about to fight a
duel" said a senator, with their sec
onds, retired to farmers meadow
The various preliminaries were ar
ranged, and the duel was just about to
begin when the gaunt figure of the
farmer was seen racing across tile,
grass toward the scene of the conflict.
The farmer seemed in great distress
of mind. "A humane chap the prin-
cipals and seconds thought He wants
to prevent bloodshed,' and they vel
coined him kindly. Excuse me, gents,'
the farmer said, gulping with emotion.
but is this here goin' to be sword or
a pistol duel?' Sword DUEL said the
second. 'Why?' We'll, you see,' said

want to take my cows in first ''''

Illiteracy in the Army.

The war revealed an extent of IL
literacy in America almost unbelev-
able. Secretary of the Interior Lane
points out that there are 100000 men
Of draft age in the United States who
cannot read or write in English or in
any other language. There are $500
900 persons over 10 years Of age who
cannot read or write in any language.
The regular army never enlisted il
literates, but the draft act brought in
to the army approximately $4,000 IL
literates and as many more who were
almost illiterate. These soldiers could
not read the manual of arms. They
could not read their letters or write
home. They could not read their daily
orders posted on bulletin boards in
camp. They could not understand sig
nails in letters of battle The econom-
ic loss through illiteracy is estimated
at $825,000,000 year, on the conser-
vative assumption that the productive
labor value of an illiterate is less by
only SO cents a day than that of an
educated person. Ten per cent of our
country folk cannot read or write
word. In view of these facts, Secre-
tary Lane urges an appropriation for
a systematic campaign to eradicate
adult illiteracy.-Leslies.

Real +. RObideau-

The following letter received by
Louis Robideau from the office of the
American Red Cross in Liverpool, is.
published at his request:
My dear Mr.. Robideau:.
1t is with deep regret that I write
you regarding the death of your son,
Real F. Robideau, which occurred at
the Belmont Road hospital on October
IA, 1918, at 11:45 a. m. The cause of
his death was pneumonia, he being one
OF a large number who have succumb-.
ed to the recent influenza epidemic.
Your son was buried in the Everton
cemetery, Liverpool, on October 20.
1918. There were present at the fun
eral myself, as representing the home
communication service of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, and two ladies, repre-
sentlng the local care committee of the
American Red Cross. A triumph
wreath, consisting Of green cycus
leaves, cream cyrysanthemums and
maidenhair fern, together with Stars
and Stripes flag, was placed on the
grave by one of the ladies. The fun
eral service was conducted by Chaplain
Jos. F. Conway Omitted States army
chaplain) of Merkison, Wis. Your SON
was accorded full military honors. The
number of the grave is 225, section NJ,
in the United States division of the
cemetery.
The American Red Cross wishes to
convey to you it's very deepest sympa-
thy in your sad loss, and earnestly
hopes that you will find some little
consolation in the thought that your
son has sacrificed his life while serv-
ing his country, and in the interests of
the great cause for which we have
been fghting-that Of righteousness
and democracy that his sacrifice
has not been in vain. I am, yours re-
spectfully, David w. Roberts, Captain
American Red Cross.

Bentall Taken to Jail.

j. O. Bentall, Minneapolis candidate
for governor on the socialist ticket in
1916, surrendered himself to United
States Marshal Joseph Vessel on
Monday. He was taken to Ramsey
county Jail and Deputy United States
Marshal J. H. Mcclure later took
him to Brainerd to serve one year in
Grow Wing county Jail.
Convicted in Minneapolis, October
II, 1917, of having tried to induce
John F. Kassube, an employee on his
farm near Litchfield, MIMI, to ignore
the draft, Bentall was sentenced by
Judge Wilbur F. Booth to one year in
Grow Wing county jail. The United
States circuit court of appeals con-
firmed the sentence.
Bentall was more recently convicted
at Minneapolis of violation of the
espionage act and sentenced to five
years in federal prison.
After serving his time at Brainerd
he will be taken to Leavenworth pris-
on.

WIDE BUNK SLEIGH
Many Reasons Why 1t Should Re-
place the NarrOw-G Gauge Sleigh
and be Standardized.
Farmers Using Wide Sleigh So Pleas
ed That They Could Not be
Persuaded to Change.

The use of the wide-bunk sleigh is a
subject which is now attracting the at
tention Of farmers, and it is an import
ant matter.
L. D. Larson, one Of Glenorado's
progressive farmers, tells us that eight
of his neighbors have adopted this
form of sled and that they could not
be pursuaded to use any other.
There is more than one reason why
the wide-bunk sled should be adopted
by all farmers, says Mr.. Larson, and
his statement stands as follows: First,
they make rut that all standard
gauge wagons can run in; second, that
automobiles whose wheels are set the
same distance apart as the runners on
these sleighs, have no difficulty in
traversing the roads; third, that doc
tors can visit their patients in mo-
torcars in these days when livery rigs
are virtually unobtainable. s..
Narrow-gauged sleighs, says Mr..
Larson, practically ruin the roads, cut
them to pieces and make them impas-
sable, whereas, wide-bunk sleighs have
uniformity Of measurement between
the runners which makes travel in the
wintertime, through the snow, not only
a possibility but certainty. He ad-
vises all farmers to use wide-bunk
sleighs, saying that if once they try
them they will never use. any other
kind.
The legislature should have stand
ardized the width of sleighs years ago
but it is not too late to take action in
the premises.

Discrimination in Mastering Out.

In a recent address Congressman
Thos. D. Schall said in part:
"There is basis for complaint at the
way the war department is handling
discharges. You hear q lot about sup
ply of labor, but skilled labor is not
being released by the army. Men are
being allowed to go who would rather
stay. Other skilled men who are
needed in industry, or who have good
jobs waiting them, are being held in
Washington in the motor transport
corps to drive officers around.
"The order of General March, No. 7,
is plain and specific. While it is the
purpose of the war department to de-
mobolize by units, instead of individ-
ually, yet exception will be made in the
case of dependency, sickness in the
family, to enter an essential industry
or to enter school.
''The orders must be taken up with
the immediate commanding officer and
frequently some second lieutenant
without Judgment enough to pass on
a case, will let personal predjudice or
Indifference or bullheadedness govern
him. Some of them like their jobs
pretty we'll and are not inclined to
jeopardize them by letting the men of
their commands be reduced"
