No official approval of any list has been made. All ists published were tentative. Last week I ordered changes made in the list as printed, awarding the distinguished service medal, among others to.

I had also decided that like awards should be given to certain otl&r officers who had rem dered long and arduous serSice on conveys and other service afloat in the war zone
 T feel that nothing should be left undone as far as is humanly possible, to insure that the awards shall be made without the possible suggestion of injustice or discrimination against any person in the naval service. and l have thSefore, decided to reconvene the board of awards to reconsider the whole subject in the light of the ad- ditional information recently sent to the bureau of navigation and such other information as any person in the naval service may wish to lav before the board.

MARCHING HOME

The two armies are marching home
Uncle Sans army, and the Saliva

Ing demobilized-the Salvation Army
Is staying right with the boys till they
find their places again in civilian life.
Uncle Sans job is ending, but the Sal
walton Army will carry on its war
fare against poverty, disease and
degradation. And it needs your help.
We have the men and women. We
have a smootl-running. economical Or
ganization; we have the will and abil-
ity to serve. We need one thing more
money.
You could not go lover there" to
carry comfort and friendlness to the
boys In billets and trenches, but your
support made it possible for us to go.
Ask the boys what they think of the
Salvation Army-i1s service and
doughnuts. You may not be able to go
into the sums and tenements to carry
cheer and hope and food and fuel. We
can. We will-if you will send us.
The war has taught the whole world
new methods of business efficiency. 1t
has taught us. We have learned that
the tambOurine lassie, instead of beg
ging for pennies, must be put to more
important tasks. She is to be relieved
of her begging. We are going to have
national drive for the $13,OO0OOO we
need to carry on our work for the CON-
| ing year.
Think of the demobilized soldiers
who need our help-and give. Think
of the city slums broiling under the
summers sun--and give. Think of the
| thousands of men who are down"
| (but never out to us)-and give.
Think of the wretched. the friendless
and forlorn whom we succOr. Think
of the barren hopelessness of dreary
| tenements with bitter winter rafting
the broken window frames. Think of
the outcasts and wayward--the prodi-
gal sons and daughters whom we res
| cue and restore. Think of us doing
! your work as your agents.

THE CORONA.

The Corona is known as "The Per-
sonal Writing Machine" This porta-
Bile typewriter weighs but six pounds;
in its case nine pounds. 1t is dur
able, light enough and small enough
to be carried anywhere, strong
enough to stand every possible condi-
ton of usage and produce work equal
to any machine on the market. The
United States Army bought 1850
Coronas during it's participation in
the war, and more than 5 5000 Coro-
mas were purchased by individual
soldiers and sailors. Owing to it's
lightness, the Corona is special
favorite with the women. Costs less
than half the usual typewriter price.
Ask for catalogue or free demorstra-
ton. Sold on payments if you de-
sire.
Quite number of Coronas are in
use in Missouri Valley, and many
more machines will be in use here
when the people become acquainted
with the famous little typewriter. The
fine carrying case, Eastwood covered
with black, fine grain fabrikoid, is
given free with each machine.

thought, Judging from indications at
consulates of Poland, CheckoJSlova-
kia, Servia. and Rumania. There is
also a strong movement under. way
toward countries formerly under the
Russian Cars rule, especially Firms
and Lithuanians. According to ennis
saries Of the Russian Soviet govern
ment in New York, more than half a
million Russians throughout the
country want to return to Russia.
1t is impossible to estimate the
strength of the movement to Ger
many and Austria, there being no
consular representatives of these
countries in America.
Economists see in the emigration
movement serious problems for Amer
lea, which may lose almost a million
working men in the course of two or
three years. 1t is said this will
cause a scarcity of the so-called
cheap labor for unskilled work.. and
keep wages high.
At the same time Europe will
gradually get more labor. which will
tend to reduce wages on that con-
tinent, and probably reduce prices,
though the emigrants will be scat
tered through such a large pOpula-
ton that they will not effect Euro
pean countries as much as their alb
sence will be felt in the United

Sociologists see in the movement a
purifying of the American national

SHOULD REFER TO THE PAST
Word "Experience" Is One That 10 FIRE.
quentiy Misused Even by
Writers Of Note.

The meaning and uses Of the word
experience Is discussed in this man
ner by Archbishop Whately in his we'll
known work, "Elements of Logic:
"This word (experience), in its strict
sense applies to what has occurred
within persons own knowledge. Tx
perience in this sense, Of course. re-
lates to the past alone. Thus 1t Is
that man knows by experience what
sufferings he has undergone In some
disease; or, what height the tide reach
ed at certain time and place.
more frequently the word Is used
to denote judgment which is derived
from experience in the primary sense,
by reasoning from that, in combina-
ton. Thus a man may assert, on the
ground Of experience, that the tide
may always be expected, under such
circumstances, to rise to such height.
Strictly speaking. this cannot be
known by experience. but Is a con-
clusion derived from experience and
other data. 1t is In this sense only
that experience can be applied to the
future, or, which comes to the same
thing. to anv general fact"

New York, Sept. ia stream OF
remigrants from America that will
number hundreds of thousands will
flow back to European countries as
soon as transportation facilities will
permit, according to consular of1l-
Gals in New York, VIII oreport that
their offices are swamped with appli-
cants for passage back to the OLD
countries.
Authorities familiar with the Sit
uation predict important effects from
the wave of emigration. which re-
verses the usual trend OF tran1c.
Hitherto, there has always been
huge flow of immigrants from the
European lands to America.
Several reasons are suggested as
responsible for the turning OF the
emigration tide between Europe and
America. Jointly they are con-
sidered sufficient to cause wave OF
immigration to Europe.
The general tie-up in trans-Atlan-
tic traffic during the five years OF
war is one of the causes for the con-
centrated desire Of Europeans to re-
turn home now, think authorities.
Many men who came here to work
have not been able to visit their fam
lilies during the war.
Applications filed with consulates
show that the majority of these emf
grants do not intend to return to
America with their families, but feel
that they will have better opportuni-
ties in the old countries. High
wages during the war, and especially
during Americas participation In IT.,
have enabled most Of the foreigners
to return home with savings suf1i-
Gent to make them quite independ-
ent on the old scale Of living.
1t is preuicted, however, that few
of them realize the cost Of living in
Europe, where scales have risen more
than in America, and that these re-

GARDNER SAYS
EFFORTS FAILED
Minneapolis Man Was Unable
to Get Relief From Trouble
Until He Took Tanlac

my efforts to find medicine or
treatment that would overcome my
troubles, failed completely until l
commenced taking Tanlac," said Earl
0. Freely, a we'll known gardner
who lives at 7O5 Kenwood Parkway,
Minneapolis, while talking to Tan
lac representative the other day.
II had a bad attack of pneumonia
about eighteen months ago." con-
tinued Mr.. Freely, land up to the
time I commenced taking Tanlac l
had been having a pretty tough time
of it ever since: For about three
months after getting up from this
spell l was not able to do any work
at all. finally improved to the ex-
tent that I was able to do a little
work and then the Flu hit me, and
this just about put the finishing touch
to me. Well, managed to pull
through this trouble and after being
in bed for several weeks I was able
to be up again, but my entire system
was left in a terrible weak, rundown
condition. I didn't have any appe-
tite to speak of and what little l did
eat didn't seem to give me any
strength or energy to get about very
much, and the different medicines I
took didn't seem to do me any good
at all.
II had been reading so much about
Tanlac, and what it had done for so
many other people, so I decided to
give it trial myself. I didn't think
it was possible for anybody to i'm
prove as fast as l did after l began
taking Tanlac. Why, my troubles
have been completely overcome, and
I am so we'll and strong now that I
not only put in full time at my work
every day, but I work in my garden
at home until dark every night.
have such a big appetite that three
hearty meals a day doesn't satisfy
me, and I have to eat a little be-
tween meals. In fact, I just feel
fine all the time and never enjoyed
better general health in my life. I
have induced good many people to
take Tanlac, and every one Of them
have been greatly benefited by it.,
and I certainly take pleasure in rec
ommending it to anybody who is in
a rundown condition from any
cause"
Tanlac is sold in Bemidji by the
City Drug store, in Kelliher by Mrs.
R. Sterling, in Blackjack by French
& Moon, and in Baudette by J. Will
