With the last issue of the Warwick

third year. When the, new Aneta
branch was opened into this city War
wick was one of the few towns along
the line that had newspaper. Editor
Francis F. Kirsch went to the town.
site with the earliest of them, his out
fit being hauled across country before
the railroad was completed. He has
done much toward making Warwick
the live hustling little burg that it is.
Mr.. Kirsch has pushed from the be-
ginning to make Warwick go, his mot
to. being Warwick First, Last and All
tie Time" The first of the year the
Sentinel was made one of the official
papers of Benson county. This was a
wise move on the part of the commits
sioners of that county, as The Sentinel
is largely circulated in the southeast
part of Benson. The business men of
Warwick give the Sentinel the sup
port that is due it, and in all Mr..
Krsch is making good. Success to
you,. Brother Kirsch. .5!..

BRITAIN ALONE

Great Britain, in the. eventsof war
with Germany, looks to France for
aid. Whether the French government
would be opposed to taking up arms
OF not it is doubtful if the common
sense and caution of the: ministry
could hold the people in check Thir-
ty years have not lessed the desire to
avenge Sedan. + r. g, .,.,.
But the alliance could hardly prove
an effective one since the Anglo
German war would be fought out al
most entirely upon the sea. And the
navy Of France, despite the expendi-
ture upon it of 500, 100000 in ten
years, is fallen into chaos and deplor-
able ineficiency. ~, E: , sl:s.s /

naval construction has been made to

copied for two years after. Guns

It is true that there VIII be many
who will class the labor scare with

but it also must be remembered that
Minnesota and the eastern part OF
North Dakota are figuring on large
crop, and besides things have been
picking up right along in the east.

are needed in those sections to aid
in the harvest, or, remain in the cities

The man who has steady job with
fair play at home will not quit his job
to come west and work in the fields;
he would prefer to hang on with the
promise of a prolonged season. Many
who are out OF work will be gobbled
up by the farmers of Minnesota and

the balance will come farther west
There may be more than enough men
to go around, but, the way the crops
now look no farmer in this section
Of the country can afford to take "a
