People, generally know that there has been waste every- where in the past, and this does not mean in the city alone, but on the farm as wellacres and acres of uncultivated land, or land that could be made to produce at least a little more than it has. v" In cities, municipal gardens are being planted on every available plot of ground, and this will help, but it is on the farms, where men really understand the soil, its needs and its possibilitiesthat the most good can really be done. Every good farmer should know his soil and of course he should not abuse it or make it barren for succeeding genera- tions. He wouldn't think of taking his best racing horse out and making it do work that would disable it for the track nor should he take all the best elements out of the soil without replacing them. Patriotic farmersand most farmers are patrioticcan help their government immeasurably at this time by studying and planting so that they will get the most out of the soil, with- out destroying its soil valueby planting intensely, by grow- ing two ears of corn, or two blades of wheat where one grew beforeby taking his place in the forefront* this great army as being "the man behind the guns"furnishing food to Uncle Sam's vast army across the seas. What will he receive in return? First, the consciousness that he has bravely supported the nationthat he has as truly given of his substance as the man who comes home crippled for life, or the man who does not come home at allthat he will have no feeling of having shirked his duty or deserted his governmentthe best govern- ment on earthin. the time of her trial. Second, he has not robbed his children by taking everything from the soil and giv- ing nothing, but has rather taken the necessary steps ti) build for the future. Third, he will have nobly played his "part in iriaking the world safe for democracy. The farmer can be depended upon to do his duty this matter, and no political bias can turn him aside from the one straight and narrow path of duty for farmers ARE patriotic. SHOULD GIVE SOME SEVERE JOLT The bare,fact that President Wilson has asked Congress for authority ,$o raise an army of four millions of men, should strike some people in this country with a severe jolt. "Oh, it will soon be over," or "I hope it will end soon," has been the burden of the song of the would-be slacker. With it he at- tempts to get by in his pitiful evasion of the calls of his govern- ment for the unstinted support of loyal sons. President Wilson would never call for such an army had he the least hope that the end was in sight. We have been as- sured bjf the Allied leaders that our strength must be thrown I into the fray before victory can even be hoped for. And with the calling of this immense force, the companion call will go out for those left at home to sustain these armies in the field. Our sons, our brothers, husbands and fathers are going "over there." Mark well the man or the woman who seeks by any pretext to escape his or her just share of responsibility for their support. Yes, the hour has arrived when we must include the wom^ en in this grave responsibility. No one who can by any pos- sible means contribute has now the right to lag behind. Sloth- fulness, inactivity, wastefulness, idleness, must be obsolete words in the vocabulary of Americans until our boys shall have forever put to rest that accursed nightmare of Prussianism. MINNESOTA CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE BURNQUIST J. E. Meyers, selected by a mass meeting of all political beliefs as the logical candidate for the mayoralty of Minne- apolis, has* come out openly and squarely for Governor Burn- quist, both for renomination and re-election. Under the pri- mary law of the state, Mr. Meyers is not a party factionalist, yet he is in favor of Governor Burnquist for re-election. The action of Mr. Meyers is to be commended. He shows where he stands.. Governor Burnquist has the opposition of all factions and organizations whole sole purpose is open hos- tility to the government, the president and all that theJJnitedL States stands for. They are endeavoring by every possible means at their command to encompass the defeat of Governor Burnquist, whose work in behalf of the state of Minnesota and the government is commended nation wide. Minnesota cannot afford, to lose Burnquist as its chief executive. That this is a government "of the people, by the people and for the people" is now being firmly imbeded in the minds of a few alien enemies now in internment camps. News item.-Cuffs, belts, buckles and all unnecessary frills on men's clothing abolished. Young men, they are not abolishing chevrons on government uniforms. Jess Willard has been barred from boxing by governors of various states. Nobody would bar him if he had a contest on with the Kaiser. SATURDAY otnt MBAX.
