Invention of Much Worth.
The special oxyacetylene blowpipe
applied by French engineers to cutting
Bteel under water is claimed to have
greatly simplified the salvage of torpe
doed vessels. A blowpipe is mount
ed In a small diving bell, from
which the water is expelled by
compressed air, and the blowpipe
pressures of air and acetylene, greater
than under ordinary conditions, are
regulated according to the depth at
which the work Is being done. In
trials made, ship's plates have been
cut under 27 feet of water. Besides
the use Of the apparatus on sunken
vessels, It can be employed In repair
ing locks, and probably in other un
derwater work.

THRIFT
and HAPPINESS
If you are a thrifty person you are happy. When you are
earning more than you spend, when you produce more than you
consume, your life is a success, and you are filled with courage,
animation, ambition and good-will. The habit of thrift proves
your power to rule yourself.
Loving labor and thrift go hand In hand, and If you have
no surplus saved up, you are a plaything of chance, a leaf in
a storm. The surplus gives you the power to dictate terms.
Cultivate the habit of thrift, and the earlier you begin the
better. And no matter how old you are, or how long you have
lived, begin ths day to save something by starting a savings

1VeU K^wn^feed Merchant Is
Enthusiastic^Over Tanlac.
Among the thousands of business
men all over the United States and
Canada who havqj given their unquali
fied endorsement to Tanlac for the
good it has done them, none is more
enthusiastic than the -statement of
Charles P. Wick, a member of the firm
of Wick Brothers, dealers in Feed,
Flour and Fuel, living at 5716 Grand
Avenue, Duhith, Minn. His testimony
follows:
"I am in better shape now than 1
have been in eight long years," said
Mr. Wick. "My stomach got out of
order eight years ago and I started
down MIL Food began to sour in_my
stomach after each meal and it got so
that I Just couldn't digest anything
I ate. Meat I hardly dared look at,
for it upset me so that I would be in
pain for hours after eating it. No
food tasted right to me and I lost my
appetite and could only mince along
on some kind of light diet, which
wasn't enough to keep up my strength.
My nerves got all torn up and I would
be retless at night and couldn't sleep.
I felt tired and wornout all the time
and nearly every day I would suffer
for several hours with a headache.
"I am here to tell you that Tanlac
is a wonderful medicine, for it has
put me on my feet again. My meals
can't come too often now, as I can eat
and enjoy almost any thing that is
prepared for me. A great big steak
looks good to me now, for I know I
can eat it and enjoy it and not have
to suffer afterwards. The headaches
are a thing of the past, my nerves are
as steady as a rock and I can just
sleep like a healthy child at night.
In the mornings I get up feeling fine
and go all day long without feeling
a sign of the old troubles that kept me
down for so long. I am glad indeed- to
tell what Tanlac has done for me, and
anyone who doubt the statement
may just call me on the phone, Cole
108 and I'll gladly tell them just what
I have said here."
Tanlac is sold in Raymond by Al
bert Kleinhuizen, and by one leading
druggist in every town.

This delectable bubbling farce, with
unaccountable laughs in its three acts,
ran so long and so profitably in New

six months it had been heralded all
over the country as the farce hit of
its decades, and demands for its out
of-town presentation had poured in to
insure its welcome when Castle & Gall
should send it on tour. It duplicated
its success at the Cort Theatre, Chi
cago, during its six months' capacity
engagement "there. New York critics
held a tournament of adjectives over
"Fair and Warmer," each striving for
emphasis to describe how funny it
really was. These reviews were
echoed in the out-of-town press, so
that "Fair and Warmer" needs now no

42— MILITARISM
The American war lords connected
with the army and those .on. the out
side have seemingly perfected their
plan to make America, if possible, "A
bigger Germany." Bills have been in
troduced in both houses of congress
to carry out their program and we are
face to face with the issue. Sen.
Chamberlain ^Dem.) of Oregon, has
presented the bill in the Senate, while
Julius Kahn (Rep,) from California
has introduced the measure In the
House of Representatives. Thus it
is made a sort of bi-party program that
ail the militarists in both old parties
can get behind and push along. The
bill as drawn add.drafted is an.elabor
ate document intended to cover all
our warlike activities of the nation.
It provides for a standing: army of
a half a million men and an annual
expenditure of around a billion dollars,
or about eight times as great as our
military expenses prior to the war
with Germany. The bill contemplates
the appointment of no less than six
Lieutenaant Generals thirty-two Ma
jor Generals eighty-eight Brigadier
Generals, and no end of Colonels and
lesser officers all to command the.
army in time of peace and incidentally
draw fat salaries from the national
treasury. A provision is made for uni
versal compulsory /military training
in any army camp of all boya of 19
to be followed by two years in the
Reserve Corps.
It is scarcely credible-that anyone
could_.be found who in the* light of
what has just happened, would have
th.e nerve to introduce .such a measure
in the American congress but such a
bill has not only been prepared and
presented, but it. is said to be backed
up by all our professional soldiers and
the Secretary of War. and has enlist
ed the active or passive support of
the big vested interests and including
practically all the newspapers that
belong to the "kept press." A few of
these editors may gag when they read
the bill, but it is foreordained that
they will come across'* at "the prop?
er moment.
The people must awake to the fact
that a most gigantic conspiracy has
been entered into to fasten the Prus
sian military system upon the United
States of America. In the face of
what forty years of this policy has
brought upon the world, and especial
ly upon all the people of Germany, it
would seem that everybody would be
sick of war and preparation for war.
but such is not the case. The love
of peace is not universal. In every
country there is a class that profit out
of war. The army officials see great
chances for honor and promotion while
the speculative class and the profit
eers can visualize big profits. If I am
not mistaken, a most determined and
persistent effort to "put over" this
military program will be made and
unless the masses are vigilant and ac
tive, it will be crowned with success.
Every argument that can be devised
will be conjured up, the fears of the
people worked on and every expedient
that the German war lords so success
fully used will be resorted to. There
is "big money" back of this movement
for certain beneficiaries and they will
not hesitate to pour it and the coin
like water to further their schemes.
The hope of defeating this most nox
ious measure lies in the Senate. It
will be "held up" in that body by able
and fearless senators like Copper of
Kansas, until the American people
can pass judgment upon it, and given
ample to voice their protests. Copper
will have powerful support, especially
from the middle west. Cummins and
Kenyon of Iowa are both against it,
along with Norris of. Nebraska. In
deed it is reported that uncle "Knute"
Nelson of this state will have nothing
to do with the measure and has al
ready turned down its advocates who
sought to enlist his support. This is
good news, if true, and we hope' it is.
Senator Nelson was a'volunteer—I be
lieve, a mere private in the Civil war,
or as it is now officially called, "The
War Between the States and has no
super abounding love for militarism
or military display. Even Senator
Kellog is non committal and is likely
to live up against the bill when he
hears from the folks at home.
I have a well grounded suspicion
that the injection of this military is
sue into the politics of the country
at this time, is not-unwelcome to the
big packers and the railway magnates.
In the very nature of things only one
big issue can be dominant at a time.
If the military question were not rais
ed, it is morally certain that the mat
ter of the high cost of living, the con
trol of food hoarders and the govern
ment ownership and operation of the
railroads, could not be kept in the
background in the coming presiden
tial campaign. They may not any
way, but this new issue will have a
tendency to confuse the voters. This
opposition to militarism will cause'
Senators Copper to loom up as a presi
dential possibility and if Gov. Frazier
of North Dakota should drop out or
fail to enter the race in earnest, then
Copper would stand a fine show of get
ting to the front as the progressive
candidate. Being in favor of practi
cally all the measures for which the
Nonpartisan League stands, he would
easily come in as second choice, next
to Frazier.
If both the old political parties "fall"
for this military program, and that is
not improbable, for the arch-schemers
in this movement are laying their
plans with this end in view and sys
tematically working to bring it about
—then the peace lovers will have a
golden opportunity to get together in
a new organization having the interest
of the common people and the good
of the whole country at heart. Person
ally, I would welcome such a custom,
for then we would have the enemy di
vinded into two hostile camps while
the friends of good government and
the advocates of'universal peace both
in the North and South, would be unit
ed, and in that event would certainly
sweep into power.
Party names have long since ceas
ed to have very much meaning with
one, just as they have with the great
body of enlightened citizenship. A
Reactionary is a Reactionary, no mat
ter what he may call himself, and the
same is true of a genuine progressive.
Another factor and maybe the de
ciding factor in this matter, is the
women voters. America never can
become a great armed camp
Prussian military system can neven
be fastened upon this country—if the
women of the nineteen or so States
in which they have Presidential Suff
rage properly voice the. protest they
must feel in their hearts. What will
the women voters of Oregon and the
women of San Francisco do with Sen
ator Chamberlain and Rep.. Kahh is
an interesting question The- women
have equal political power with men
in these States and are almost equal
in number.

paign of education" largely financed

O S A A I A ll LOAN^AGT AMENDED
IN FIVE WAYS THE LOWER HOUSE
Washington, D. C—By a vote of 108
to 7 the house on September 10 passed
the bill amending certain. sections of
the federal farm loan act so as to
eliminate red tape in the working of
the farm loan association. Little oppo
sition to this bill is expected in the
senate and an effort will be made to
have it ready for the president's signa
ture on his return to Washington the
end of this month.
As amended by the house the fed
eral farm loan act now carries the
following changes:
1. The appointment of .an assistant
registrar in each land bank district is
provided, this official to have author
ity to receive applications for loans in
the absence of the registrar.
2. It is provided that on approval
of a loan the applicant is automatical
ly made a member of the farm loan
association to which his application is
made. His name does not have to be
voted on by the association.
3. The provision that all three mem
bers of the loan committee of a farm
loan association shall be required to
make a joint appraisal of the land of
an applicant is eliminated. The report
of the land bank appraiser is all that
is necessary for this vaulation.
4. It is provided that advance
amortization payments may be made
in denominations desired by the loan
holder.
5. The minimum farm bond is fixed
at a |100 denomination, on the ground
that bonds of smaller denomination are
regarded, not as an investment- but
practically as currency.
Packer Witnesses Exposed.
In a letter sent to Senator Gronna,
chairman of the senate agriculture
committee, this week the Southern
Wholesale Grocers' association gives
a sharp reply to the statements of the
packer press agents in Washington
that out of 90 witnesses who" have tes
tified before the agriculture commit
tee on the Kenyon and Kendrick licens
ing bills, 88 were opposed to these
measures.
In this letter Lewis H. Haney, di
rector of the research bureau of the
Wholesale Grocers' Association, as
serts that' of the 88 witnesses unfavor
able to the Kenyon and Kendrick bills
are of three classes:
1. The paid employes of the big
packers.
2. The packer subsidized witnesses.
3. The witnesses who are afraid of
the big packers.
Asserting that a majority of the 88
have appeared before the senate com
mittee at packer expense, according to
his information, Mr. Haney requests
that the committee "call Mr. Brooks
of Swift & Co., put him under oath,
and ask him how much money the Big
Five packers have spent or have be
come obliged to pay to date in rail
road fares, hotel bills, etc., for the de
voted 88 witnesses."
Stockmen Want Regulation.
A powerful and active propaganda
machine built up in Washington by
the packers has been trying to create
the impression that livestock produc
ers are opposed to the enactment of
the Kenyon and Kendrick bills for
packer control. The fact in this case
is that the American National Live
stock association, one of the largest
organizations of livestock producers
in the country, has heartily indorsed
the packer control legislation.
Commenting on the packer campaign
of misrepresentation as to the stock
raisers* attitude, William Kent, form
erly a member of the United States
tariff commission and now chairman
of the national marketing committee,
says:
"The packers have badly overplayed
the game of trying to scare the Ameri
can people into thinking that livestock
producers will stop raising stock after
the Kenyon bill goes through. The in
dorsement of the regulatory legisla
tion by the American National Live
stock Association shows that the pro
ducers realize that they need the pro
tection of this legislation just as the
consumers do."
Try to Divide Farmers.
A strong appeal to the farmers of
the country to unite with labor in the
battle against the common enemy of
monopolistic control, and to repudiate
those self-styled "farm leaders" who
are now attacking labor as being re
sponsible for the high cost of living,
is made by George P. Hampton, man
aging director of the Farmers' Na
tional council.
"The seriousness of the farm situa
tion," Mr. Hampton says, "requires
most careful consideration of the eco
nomic factors of production. It
isbe
most unfortunate that some farm lead
ers have seized upon the present situa
tion to attack labor as responsible for
the high cost of living. Such action
necessarily plays into the hands of the
privileged classes of the country
which have always striven to drive a
wedge between the farmers and the
other labor forces of America. It is
a testing time for American farmers.
The predatory interests are working
overtime to divide the farmers and to
get them to go off on false leads."
Pointing out that nothing funda
mental can be done in solving the cost
of-living problem and its accompany-
the entire country having in view
the purpose of teaching the people
that the future safety and security of
America lies in so arming, training
and equipping, our young ^men that
the "United States could whip the rest
ofethe World!" And if this policy is
Adopted .and carried out, and the ex
perience of past ages and the history
of civilization are worth anything
as a guide, that is the very job we will
have oaeu hands at no very remote
period. May God save the Nation
fronv Militarism should be the prayer
of all true Christians and Patriots.

ton continues:
"The natural resources of America,
basic raw material for all Industries,
are largely monopolized in private
ownersh'p, while the United States
congress is attempting practically to
give away its resources yet remaining
under public ownership." (A reference
to the infamous oil and mineral leas
ing bill recently passed by the senate.)
A Strange Farmer.
There is anew assistant secretary
of agriculture in Mr. Houston's pri
vate cabinet and if any farmer in the
United States knows more about him
than the department of agriculture has
so far been disposed to make public
they know more than any of the
farmer representatives now in Wash
ington.
The name of the gentleman is James
R. Riggs, and he succeeds the lament
ed Clarence Ousley, who recently
graduated from the department of agri
culture to the post of first vice presi
dent of the Navy league and editor of
Its publication, "Sea Power." From
this lofty position Mr. Ousley is now
urging the United States to build the
biggest navy in the world and damn
the expense.
The office of information of the de
partment of agriculture tells the world
that Mr. Riggs "is a farmer by hered
ity," as proof of which it states that
"his grandfather Hezekiah Riggs, was
born on a farm in Doudoun county, Va.,
in 1791. A few significant hints about
the present Mr. Riggs are, however,
allowed to escape. For instance, the
department admits:
"While devoting his energies pri
marily to farming operations, Mr.
Riggs has found time both for other
business enterprises and for public af
fairs. For a number of years he was
active in the development of the coal,
oil and gas industries of his sec
tion. For 12 years he was president
of a trust company. Since 1912 he has
been engaged in the manufacture of
drain tile."
The Drouth Aid Bill.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has definitely and finally refused to
give any support whatsoever to the
Sinclair drouth relief bill.
At a conference between Houston
and the Nonpartisan congressman this
week the secretary of agriculture re
iterated his "sympathy" with the prob
lems of the drouth-stricken farmers of
the Northwest, but asserted that it
was not for him to attempt to influence
congress in this matter. Without the
indorsement of the secretary of agri
culture the Sinclair bill, carrying an
appropriation of $5,000,000 to be loaned
for seed grain and feed purchase, will
not be favorably reported from the ap
propriations committee.
Former Congressman Lever, now a
member of the federal farm loan
board, who is an enthusiastic support
er of the Sinclair bill, accompanied
the North Dakota congressman on his
visit to Houston.
In the course of his conversation
with Sinclair and Lever, Secretary
Houston observed that a hasty visit
he made to Montana a year ago this
month had shaken his faith In the
farming possibilities of that state.
This is but one of a number of recent
statements indicating that the depart
ment of agriculture would prefer to
have many northwestern farmers go
out of business rather than give them
aid in solving their problems.
Railroad Sabotage.
Due to urgent representations made
to the railroad administration by Rep
resentative Baer of North Dakota,
there is now some assurance that suf
ficient cars for grain and other food
product shipments will be henceforth
available in the Northwest. The car
service section of the railroad admin
istration has promised Mr. Baer that
all available "empties" will be rushed
to shipment centers of North Dakota
without delay.
There Is evidence that the recent
abnormal car shortage in the North
west is not altogether due to natural
causes. There are a number of power
ful forces that will stop at nothing to
discredit government operation of the
railroads, and the favorable reception
given to the Plumb plan, providing
permanent government ownership of
the roads, in Nonpartisan territory has
awakened much anxiety in these quar
ters. Steps seeking to discredit gov
ernment operation, as part of the
propaganda to have the roads returned
to their private owners, are now to
taken in the Northwest, it Is un»
derstood.
After the Sinn Fein party in Ireland
had won a political victory, the Eng
lish government decided that it was
necessary to abolish this political
party by government proclamation
and force of arms. Yet England pre
tended to advocate self-determination
for all peoples.
With all our talk about the Shan
tang agreement, we might remembef
that England has 37 per cent of Chi
nese territory on about the same termi
as Japan has for this particular slice.

VluTURIAN ERA WORTH WHILE
Deserved Rebuke for Those Who Smile
at Epoch Which Had Many
Good Points.
Why do the heathen rage against the
Victorian epoch? Men who lived
through a great part of it found it
exciting, interesting, amusing anl
sometimes terrible. Talleyrand one*
said that nobody could understand tht
tval delights of society unless he had
lived before the French revolution.
Similarly, what young person, or near
young person, of today can experience
the delights of the time when it was
possible to begin at ease the first chap
ter of a volume of Dickens or Thack
eray, to wait Impatiently for George
Eliot's new novel or even to bear the
shock of Robert Buchanan's famous
review of Swinburne? There were, too,
the terrors occasioned by Mrs. Harriet
Beecher Stowe when her fierce Puritan
friendship induced her to print the
confidences of Lady Byron! Our eyes
were turned towards England, it Is
true, yet Hawthorne and Emerson were
not only discussed, but read. Among
the lesser lights there were Gail Ham
ilton and James Fields, whose very
satisfying literary essays were great
features of the Atlantic Monthly.
People really did not spend their time
in singing "JuanHa" or in reading
"Ouida" on the sly, nor did all the
women dress in the magentas and sol
ferinos in which contemporary satirists
clothed the ladies of the middle periods
of Victoria and Eugenie. The Crimean
and Civil wars, so microscopic to the
careless young, the Franco-Prussian
struggle which preluded the chaos of
1914, were events that kept our minds
from stagnating and there were doers
pnd thinkers In Europe worth our con
stant consideration.—Maurice Francis

roofs.
Asbestos is absolutely waterproof and as nearly fireproof
as anything of its kind can be made.
Asbestoseal will seal up the small leaks and imperfections
in your roof, making an elastic and wear resisting surface to the
roof.
Asbestoseal is used for coating and waterproofing roofs
of every description, whether Metal, Paper, Composition,
Shingle, Cement, Slate, Tar and Gravel, or any other roof.
Give us an opportunity to demonstrate Asbestoseal to you.
