CREEL TO ACCOMPANY THE" PRESIDENT.
The success of the inter-allied peace conference in Versailles
is assured. It will be the greatest event in the annals of the
universe. It will settle one of the most mazing problems that
ever confronted human beings, and the questions are to be con-
sidered will be by the most* brilliant statesmen and military
men in the world, including President Wlison.
With the president, it is said, will go George Creel, head
of the government bureau of misinformation, a bureau whioh
spends over a million dollars in "bunc" propaganda and one
of the staunchest friends of socialism and ardent supporters
of Max Eastman. Creel will be attended, it is stated, with a
large retinue of bureau payrollers at great cost to the Liberty
Loan buyers of the nation.
It was Creel who rewrote the story of a submarine sinking
and when it was given out discovered later to have been a
gorgeous mis-statement of the facts. What he will do at the
conference in acting as the official news purveyor to the Amer-
ican people is a matter of speculation. It would be one of the
greatest farces of the war, and a grandstand play pure and
simple.
I. W. W. PATRIOTS COMPARED TO BREWERS.
We're not in sympathy with the I. W. W. nor any of its
ilk, but we are of the belief that the I. W. W. is composed of
patriots compared with that pro-German-Amercain gang of
brewers, who have, by the lavish expenditure of hundreds of
thousands of dollars, sought to control the government and
wreck the industries of the country, because their owners and
management object to the use of liquor by their hundreds of
thousands of employes.
It is indeed a great compliment to these manufacturers to
thus be singled out for injury and for the reasons uncovered in
the senate probe. We hope and trust that these manufacturers
will thrive and prosper when the disloyal brewers and their
nefarious plants and treasonable intrigue are down and out,
and receive their just deserts. "m
WARFORD'S SPLENDID SERVICE TO RED CROSS.
Terminating his office as president of the Red Cross chap-
ter for the past year, Rev. L. P. Warford, pastor of the Presby-
terian church, has filled the position in a most creditable
manner. Literally "shoved at him," Rev. Warford undertook
the task in addition to his other duties and made good in every
sense of the term, and it was regretfully learned that he would
be unable to again serve. He proved himself a conscientous
worker, of tireless energy, and he received the hearty co-
operation of every member of the chapter.
Capably aided by the splendid committees and their in-
telligent direction, the past year of the Red Cross chapter has
been unusually successful and its records substantiate the
assertion.
VALUED CITIZEN JOINS "Y" WAR SERVICE.
Airplane Travel Fee*.
In lieu of the usual allowance of wr
en cents a mile for expenses of army
officers traveling by an airplane, the
war department announced the other
day. they will be allowed only four
cents a mile. According to the ruling
of the Judge advocate general transpor
tation by airplane Is placed in the same
class as travel by prairie schooner, dog
sleds in Alaska and buffalo carts In the
Philippines.

Bemidji lost another good citizen today, but only tempo-
rary, when H. E. Reynolds boarded a train for New York to
embark for "over there" in the interests of the Y. M. C. A.
He expects to be away for at least two years and when he
returns he hopes to see Bemidji far advanced in all things.
Mr. Reynolds is a prominent realty dealer, has served
Bemidji with his best efforts in all things and when the war
broke was named federal food administrator of Beltrami
county. He was also chosen secretary of the Commercial club
and from a "buck" in the home guard when organized rose to
a captaincy on the brigade staff of the state adjutant general.
We hope Bemidji will meet his expectations upon his
return.
Don't let us be tempted into any "extravagance by the
thought that the war is over. Our boys must still be supported
abroad they must gradually be brought back they must be
returned to civilian life by degrees. There will be another
Liberty loan. We must be ready for it.
Let everybody who possibly can be present at the Elko
theatre Thanksgiving day forenoon to participate in the com-
munity thanksgiving services of the city. We all have much to
be thankful for at the present time.
For months the German army will have nightmare dreams
of running at its topmost speed while dreadful Americans on
motor trucks pursue it.
The war lords in their shining armor have had their brief
and bloody day. It is followed by the days of the Lord of
Peace.

tfctop Wadsworth, Spartanburg, 8.
O.Among the Maryland draft men
sent here some weeks ago was a chap
from Baltimore who claimed exemp
tion from military service on the
grouo$ that he was a conscientious ob
jector of war. His name will not be
made public, for it has developed that
he belongs to a good family. He was
placed in the casual detachment for ob
servation, and the machinery of the in
telligence department was put to work
to learn something as to his antece
dents.
A few days later a tan, grim-look
iug man appeared in camp and asked
where the conscientious objector could
be found. He was directed to the
casual detachment, and there Intro
duced himself to the commanding of
ficer as a brother of the soldier In
Question and asked permission to have
a talk with him. The permission was
granted, and he went to his brother's
quarters. Part of the conversation
vas overheard, and those who heard
It say It was heated, although one
sided.
Brother Said Something.
"You yellow cur," exclaimed the
visiting brother. "We are all ashamed
of you at home, but you are going to
do a man's part In this war. Mother
told me to come down here and make
you withdraw that fool conscientious
objector claim, and if you don't do it I
am going to beat you to death right
here in this camp. What possessed
you anyway?" There was a good deal
more of the same kind.
At the end of about an hour the
two brother* went before Major Coffin,
the personnel officer. "Major," said
the visitor, "my brother wants to
withdraw the affidavit about being a
conscientious objector. Can he do
it?"
"Well," replied Major Coffin, "it
must be a voluntary act on his part."
An, turning to the soldier, who had
mnde the claim, he asked* "Do you
want to do this voluntarily. Is It of
vonr own free will?"
The soldier moisteued his lips
(*nd
glnnced at his brother, and replied:
"Yos, sir, it is of my own free will,
and I want to withdraw it."
Is Now Making Good.
Major Coffin found the affidavit and
tore It up, and then issued an order
transferring the soldier to an active
regiment, and the soldier left.
After he had gone thp visitor turned
Major Coffin and said: "Major, I
thank yon. I had determined there
would be no yellow cura in my family,
and if that boy hadn't withdrawn that
pfttrtavit I would have bpnten him up
right here. But I'm glad he did it of
his own free will."
The soldier who thought he was a
conscientious oblector has been mak
ing good over FIIICP tho vlstt of hia
lii other. He seems, in fact, to be more
i'fraid of his brother thnn of the Ger-
\w ns, and those who lia\e been watch-
i'.jer him are of the opinion that he will
make ns good a fighting man as
{ins when the time comes to go over
the top.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
Not Fear When Fighting a
German or a Ger m!
By Dr. Cook.
The cool fighter always wins and
*o there is no need to become panic
stricken. Avoid fear and crowds.
Exercise in the fresh
airn
the three C.s:
and practice
A cleo Mouth a
Clean Skin and Clean Bowels. To
carry off the poisons that accumulate
within the body and to ward off an
attack of the influenza bacillus, take
a good liver regulator to move the
bowels. Such a one is made up of
May-apple, leaves of aloe, root of
jalap, and is to be had at any drug
store, and called "Pleasant Purga
tive Pellets."
If a bad cold develops, go to bed,
wrap up well, drink freely of hot
lemonade and take a hot mustard
foot-bath. Have the bedroom warm
but well ventilated. Obtain at the
nearest drug store "Anuric Tablets"
to flush the kidneys and conrol the
pains and aches. Take an 'Anuric"
tablet every two hours, together with
copious drinks of lemonade. If a
true case of influenza, the food should
be simple, such as broths, milk,
buttermilk and ice-cream but it is
important that food be given regu
larly in order to keep up patient's
strength and vitality. After the
acute attack has passed, which.is
generally from three to seven days,
tiie system should be built up by the
use of a good iron tonic, such as
"Irontic" tablets, to be obtained at
some drug stores, or that well known
blod-maker and herbal tonic made
from roots and barks of forest trees
old everywhere as Dr. Perce's

HOW RHEUMATISM
BEGINS
The excruciating agonies of rheu
matism are usually the result of fail
ure of the kidneys to expel poisons
from the system. In a majority of
cases rheumatism is an indication
that uric acid has pervaded the sys
tem. If the irritation of these \iric
acid crystals is allowed to continue,
incurable bladder or kidney disease'
may result. Attend to it at once.
Don't resort to temporary relief. The
sick kidneys must be restored to
health by the use of some sterling
remedy which will prevent a return,
