"UNITED WE STAND
DIVIDED WE FALL"
Maxim of Minnesota Dry Federa
tion in Campaign for Con*
stitutional Amendment.
"United we stand, divided we fall,"
ib a tested, proved and universally
accepted maxim of social cooperation.
"Get together" is the watchword of
peace and war.
The Minnesota Dry Federation is
bom of the get-together spirit
A Herculean task confronts the
friends of home and flag in thw figh*
to destroy the liquor traffic in Mmne
sota The adoption of the proposed
Dry amendment to the state consti
tution is beset bj many difficulties
It is first necessary to cecure for the
amendment a majority of all votes
cast at the election
If a citizen votes at the election but
fails to vote on the amen \ent he ia
counted as having voted "no Then
there is the campaign for the election
ot members of both houses of the leg
islature who will ratify the National
amendment.
To win this dual contest it will re
qune the best united effort of all or
ganizations and individuals
When Organized.
A number of strong men and wo
men who have been engaged in the
fight against the saloon recognized
the necessity of uniting into one or
ganization for the purpose of success
full} conducting the campaign of
191S, every element desirous and will
ing to abolish the liquor traffic A
mass meeting was held in Minneapo
lis on December 5, 1917, and the Min
nesota Dry Federation was effected
which for its cosmopolitan and rep
resentative character commends it
self to every interest in the state, cap
ital and labor, city and country, or
ganized and unorganized interests,
Christian and non-Christian elements
Former Governor Van Sant is the
chairman of the Federation and all
parts of the state and all interests
and classes are represented on the ex
ecutive committee
Organizations Affiliated.
Twelve state-wide organizationt,
united under the name of the Allied
Temperance Committee, and many lo
cal organizations, fraternal lodges,
clubs and other organizations which
are not primarily interested in the
question and heartily co-operating
with the Minnesota Dry Federation
These state-wide organizations are
Women's Cmistian Temperance TJn
ion
Minnesota Total Abstinence Asso
ciation
Prohibition State Committee
Trade Union Dry League of Minne
sota
Scandinavian Grand Lodge, I O
Catholic Total Abstinence Society
Minnesota Grand Lodee O
Young People's Citizenship Com
mittee
Employes' Anti-Liquor Alliance
Finnish Total Abstinence Society
Women's State Medical Association
Inter-Collegiate Prohibition Asso
ciation
If You Don't Vote, You Do, and Yon
Vote "No."
Few people comprehend that all
voters who vote at the election, but
who tail to vote on an amendment
aie counted as ha\ing \oted against
it Thus if there are 300,000 votes
cast at the election and 150,000 should
vol" for the amendment and none
vote against it, the amendment is lost
for lack, of a majority of all votes
cast In 1916 the initiative and re
ferendum amendment received 187,711
affirmative votes with 51,544 votes
again^r i- In nt-hp~ words it receive
a majority of 136,167 votes or more
than three-to-one vote and yet it wa
defeated by 20,397, because there
were 416,215 votes cast at the election
and, therefore, there must be at least
208,108 affirmative votes to adopt an
amendment
Under the present method rr
amendment has ever been adopted
the first time submitted, and none
with less than a three-to-one, while
many ha\e failed with a four-to-one
vote
A Big Job.
While the task of putting the dry
amendment "over the top" is very dif
ficult, the forces of righteousness, ef
ficiency and conservation who seek
its adoption have but one feartbe
carelessness, apathy and indifference
of the dry foices born of a false feel
ing of over-confidence The respon
sibility confronts YOU
The Minnesota Dry Federation will
do its utmost to achieve a glorious
victory, and depends upon every in
dividual and organization to do nd
less
A Patriotic Duty.
In these war-torn days, our nation
realizes the danger which threatens
our cherished ideals of liberty and
democracy, and has a clear vision of
our responsibility to mankind, there
fore we are fighting to retain those
Ideals and to extend them to other
lands and peoples Prussian militar
ism must be overthrown Our first
duty is to win the war.
"Our boys," abroad and at home,
properly supported, united with men
ol other freedom-loving nations, will
save our nation and the world.
In Minnesota autocracy has been

fare or upbuilding of the race. Its
entire product is waste.
The monstrous waste of food stuffs
and fuel, in making beer,'when the
food is needed by our allies and the
fuel needed to move our shipping, is
interfering with the winning of the
war.
The fight against the liquor traffic
is a patriotic movement. It is a fight
for conservation of manhood, the
protection of the home, the defense of
the nation, the permanency of peace
and the triumph of DEMOCRACY.
The MINNESOTA DRY FEDERA-
TION invites all good citizens to unite
and drive the autocratic, selfish and
wasteful liquor traffic from our state.
JOHN BARLEYCORN
TAKING THE COUNT
W. E. McEwen.
(Former Labor Commissioner, in Du
luth Labor World
John Barleycorn is fast climbing on
the water wagon with the rest of us
old tanks, by compulsion if not from
choice He was handed several se
vere wallops this week and in places
on his wasted carcass where he little
expected it
Old John has gotten more out of the
traffic than any of us who played the
game with him. When we lost he
won Now he is losing aud the whole
nation is rejoicing in bis downfall.
He has few sympathizers outside of
his backers, seconds and time keep
ers, and even they will turn against
him when he takes the final count and
thev discover how much more eatis
factory it is to ply thei energies in
life-givmg rather than in death-dealing
avoqatians.
Parleycprn is a versatile old roost
er. He has Written*1
comedjeo and
tragedies, burlesques and melodra
mas, all at the same time and with
the same pen dipped in the same con
coction he has produced more mon
ologue artists than all other agencies
on earth, their incoherent rambling
soliloquies resounding through prison
cells and insane wardc of every clime.
He has made bums out of 'bankers,
merchants and professional men. He
has taken top-notch factory workers
from their machines, mechanics from
their benches, laborers from fields,
and clerks from their desks and sent
them emaciated in body and crushed
in spirit to the gates of hell, and
gloated over their ruin. He has turned
palaces into hovels as if by magic
He has transformed happy cottages
into miserable huts with the mere
waving of his poisonous wand. Jeal
ous of the bloom and beauty of youth
he has fiendishly plucked the blos
soms before their time, and looked on
unconcerned while the human plants
wasted and died. Like the man with
the withered arm, he has stood un
moved at the widows and orphans he
has made He has drowned cheers
with tears, turned joys into sorrows,
brought suffering where happiness
and prosperity dwelt, and cheated life
of its sweetness and fragrance.
This monster whom men defend, as
some do his living prototype across
the Rhine, is now being called before
the bar of judgment to answer for
his multi-crimes. The South has tried
and convicted him The West has
sent him to perdition with loud ac
claim. The North has pronounced
his doom. It is left to the East to
complete the job and drive him from
the nation entirely. Massachusetts,
the staid old conservative Bay state,
has spoken. All New England will
render the same verdict, as will the
people of Minnesota next November.
Good-bye, John Barleycorn, we see
your finish. You are soon to be nunv
bered among the evils that were.
w. AN ABSURDITY.
Colonel Roosevelt recently said* "Ther
Is nothing mote absurd than the belief
that the closing of the saloon will cause
working men to lose their jobs There are
few things more important to our social
tfdvaneement than the loosing of the grip
of the liquor interests upon the labor
movement. The saloon represents c
ttomlc loss.'

"FROM OUR BOYS /t
OVER THERE."
Skeptics at Home Should Ponder1
Well
Reports Sent Home by Our Boys
Who are Facing the Hun in
France.
There is no excuse under the 8un for
the bombing of hospitals even in war
time But it has repeatedly been done
during the present war by the Hun.
When called to task for this brutal
disregard of all the rules of war and
mercy, the German high command has
attempted to excuse such actions by
complaining that the hospitals were
located too close to the front line and
the bombing was merely "incidental"
The Public Safety Commision calls
attention to the recent attack in force
on a group of hospital buildings lo
cated far behind the British lines,
plainly marked. Twenty German planes
bombed this place of mercy, all
evidence indicating that the raid was
carefully planned. It far surpasses all
of the Hun's previous performances of
^rightfulness.
The Hun no longer apologizes and he
no longer pleads "military necessity"
as his excuse for the slaughter of the
helpless. He glories in his guilt.
The "Stars and Stripes," the official
paper of our forces in France prints
following comment on the above oc
currence in a recent issue:
"Fatuous people who still believe,
in the face of such proof as this, that
a negotiated peace with "liberal"
Germany is within the range of prob
ability ought to be led quietly by the
hand and placed in a retreat for the
feeble-minded. There is only one way
to deal with the Hun. Thank God we
have learned that way!"
REn'cROSS NOTES
RED CROS S NOTE S
By Mrs. F. P. Bernard I
miff
Lots of yarn for socks, now on hand.
But I'm sorry to say the girls are not
coming in to knit as fast as I had
hoped they would
A visit to the Crookston Red Cross
room and also to the Polk County
Chapter showed the same sock troubles
that we so often have, socks knit too
closely and set up with too little give
at the top. This last means broken
stitches and ruined socks, while those
knit too tightly (if they can be worn
at all after washing) are going to be
very uncomfortable on the poor sol
diers feet. Do let us remedy these de
fects as quickly as possible
There are over twenty knitters who
are not reporting as they should. Now
if you have yarn that you intend to
knit, and have been for some reason,
delayed in making up, please phone
and tell me so. Tell me what you in
tend to do with the yarn. After two
months any one ought to either send
in goods or report why they are not
able to do so Please do this so I shall
not be obliged to ask you about it, and,
remember the remnants belong to the
Red Cross Society
The Surgical Dressing Department
is now in its new quarters in the Grand
Jury room. This is a pleasant, airy
room to work in.
This week this department has ship
ped to Headquarters 1,1508x4 com
presses and 9002\2*4 sponges
They are now working on their al

Florida's mild^even climate the year round is one of its
strongest attractions. Sunstroke is unknown. Florida pro-
duces more kinds of crops than any other state in the Union.
Florida leads the entire country in the furnishing of fresh
vegetables for the winter markets of the North. Florida ex-
cells the world in the quality of its citrus fruit, such as
oranges, lemons, grapefruit. If a farmer tills 40 acres of good
Florida land right he should sell produce from same for about
$28,000 yearly. Send 5 cents to cover postage on illustrated
pamphlets and colored view cards.
