BUILD A HOUSE

A short time before the battle off
Cape Trafalgar Admiral Nelson
placed a signal on the flagship "Vic-
tory" bearing the legend, ENGLAND
, expects every man to DO his duty
These words are often quoted in po-
ltical campaigns, patriotic move
nents, and various drives which
are occasionally sprung upon US.
IN 1914, after Germany precipita-
tad>thc late war, the southern cotton
grower realized that the foreign
market had been cut off, and his
CROP of this staple could not be
moved. He had incurred obligations
N raising cotton which had to be
met. and under conditions prevailing
at that time bankruptcy stared him
in tie face. At this crisis the cry
was draicd "Lct every American in
. position to do so purchase bale
Of cotton and aid the southern
arower" The suggestion, as we
know, was adopted and the souther-
ncr's credit was saved.
The Gazette yesterday directed at
tention to the fact that cur present
cler-crowdod city will soon be COM
1ollod to face much greater demands
for housing from the rapidly in
creasing population. This crisis will
he lmon US before we realize it's ap-
preach. The government torpedo
plant is rapidly approaching com-
Dletion, and nine hundred men will
be put to worl: as soon as it shall
have been finished. This force it is
said will. be augmented later.
We repeat what VIC said yesterday
that it is ret likely syndicates will
he formed for meeting require
mcnts Of the near future, and it is
up to every citizen of this commun-
ity tc do his individual part. Five
years ago, when The cotton planter
waz facing disaster, every man
coald not buy carload of cotton.
but many could and did purchase
hale and thus relieved the situation.
Every man cannot build a row Of
houses. but many are in positions to
erect one, and probably two and in
cases three.
In conversation today with a
we'll known and practical business
man of our city, who had called to
give his affirmation to our suggcs-
Ion he told US he had built three |
dwellings, during the past year from |
his surplus savings.
Wages are higher at present than
az any time in the history Of the
Many persons who never
AID funds in banks before now make
deposits. These sums are being in
,rcased all the time. and it should
.akc but little nerve on the part of
:uch dcpositors to erect house. The
ncvment will entail no risk and the
,rofit upon the investment is in

The One Who Died.

Often suddenly find myself
thinking Of Jens Jensen, the
one the only one of us, who
gave his all his life for the
great cause for which America
took part in the war. And | won
der il most Of us, or all of us,
in our community, are not united
IN this one thing: Sending
thoughts across the sea to far
off France imagining seeing Jcns
on his death bed, seeing him
close his eyes without any of
those dear to him present, sec
ing him for the sake of huma-
nifty, die for us. We are a much
divided people in this country,
yes even i'm our own little COM
munity. | do not know of any
thing that we all could agree
upon, or are willing to unite in.
only it should be this one. to re-
member Jens. and give honor to
his memory among It's. And
then again, wonder if we could
not some day set aside one hour
to gather in common and find
ourselves united in the sacred
memory of one who died to help
make the world n safe place to
live in. and thereby died also for
us.

There appears to be number
of instances OF people who
claimed exemption from military
draft on account of not being
citizens of the United States, but
are now clamoring for citizen pa
pers. They will probably have a
fat chance of ever becoming citi.
zens here, at least they don't de-
serve that privilege. If United
States was not good enough for
those fellows during the war it
hadn't ought to be now. or in
other words il a country is not
good enough to fight for it is
not good Enough to live in. Citi.
zenship of any country natural.
ly carries some. responsibility
with it, not the mere gathering
Of money. The fellows above re-
ferred to, in our estimation, arc
either cheapskates or towards
and Uncle Sam will probably not
be much of loser if they are
shipped across to where they
came from.

The Terminal Packing House
in st. Paul.

| III 81. PAuJ.
Mr.. Thomson, an organizer for
the T. =. Fl. in st. Paul has been
in Askoy for some time. He pre-
scnted a proposition to the far
mers in this community to sub
scribe for shares at a meeting
last week. / shall not discuss
the merits of cooperative pack
ing houses in general if they be
real cooperative; we will have
them when the time is ripe.
However | don't think that is by
far the most vital question in
this community, in the first place
our hog production is only side
line and a small one at that so
far, we made good step in the
right direction when we com
mcnced to ship our live stock
comparatively by the carload
to central market, and while
we perhaps are overcharged
more or less for service this pro-
position should appeal more
strongly to the prairie farmer
who produces on an average
about a carload of hogs when we
produce from one to five hogs
each for the market.
1t is a good old saying true
cooperation begins at home"
and we have in this community
cooperative undertakings pen
ding that need all the capital and
energy we can afford to spend
to put them on a sound and solid
foundation.
Our feed store, although in
good financial condition, needs
more working capital and more
room and we can use few
thousand dollars there to good
advantage. The same is true
about our creamery, and then we
have the baby, produce shipping
or marketing assn that will need
couple thousand dollars to com
plete the building plans from
last fall and at least a hundred
more members, and | suppose
the time is not so very far off
that we will think about estab-
fishing a potato flour and starch
Factory to take care of our sur
plus and Gull potatoes.
Those who favor the PROPOSE
ton to subscribe for shares in
the packing house and are not
doing their level best to support
and boost our local cooperative
establishments are not commun-
ity builders. How can we CO.
operate with people in other
counties and other states if we
| don't know how or don't want to
cooperate with our next door
neighbors.
True cooperation begun mt
home and in our local commune
ties and brought to success
will form a sound and solid basis
for cooperation on larger
scale in counties and states.

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

AS our late old and revered friend
and Redding (Conn.} nelghbor, Mark
Twain, once remarked concerning
premature reports as to his demise,
Aunt Eleanor Ann, the reports in yes
terday evenings "pink-uns" that
Benny Leonard had been matched to
Tight Jack Britton at the Newark
Sportsmen's Club in the latter part
OF this month, "are greatly exag-
gerated"
Our scandal-mongeringc contemporary
chauffeurs of the Remington had it
that Benny and Jack were to fight for
purse of $4,000, or 65 per
cent OF the gross, and that the weight
was to be l42 pounds, ringside. But
it's false; at least, its not true. Far
be 1T from US to spoil perfectly good
night, Aunt Eleanor Ann. but we are
demon for the right. First to last
the Truth: notwithstanding
Bouts"
We cornered Billy Gibson, Leonard's
bashful manager, last night, behind the
cash register of his Bronx restaurant
and made him tell the honest-Injun,
cross-my- heart, so-help-me- Bob truth
Billy rang up steak smothered in
onions to hide his embarrassment. and
tnen remafked:
"'Tisn't so. You maye quote me to
that effect. Yes, various promoters have
approached me along those lines. but
nothing has been settled as vet. Willie
Ritchle and Britton have both been
mentioned as opponents for Banny. and
we are perfectly willing TO take them
perfectly willing-but first they've
got to meet our terms"
Bing! And Billy rang up one order Of
calves brains with sauce tartare. two
artichokes with mayonnaise DRESSING
and flock of Bronx cocktails.
In spite Of Billy's diflidence, it is
quite likely that match with either
Britton or Ritche will be arranged
for the Newark club within the next
few days, but great magnates move
slowly, and box-fght managers are
nothing if not dignified.
