David LIoyd-George Says That Her
Reputation in Battle Stands
Very High.

They say you cannot make good
soldiers out of women. You have
never tried. There was race at
one time, believe, that had an army
Of women, and its traditional repute
in history stands very high. The
women gave up tie job; they thought
it was better suited to the intellect of
men. But after all, men, of course,
are better for some tasks; women are
better for others equally important.
Men make tine better soldiers, women
make the better nurses. After all,
the healing of wounds is nobler
work than inficting them. What is
more, it demands higher qualities
of brain and heart.
War, after all, is not a permanent
institution. Heaven forbid that it
should be. The duel is vanishing,
and I think you will see war reced-
ing along the same dark road. And
if women by their presence on the
register, saved us from the infamy
of single war they would have JUS
titled their vote before God and man.
And when women get the vote, not
merely here, but on the continent,
for the movement is not confined to
this country, 1 think you will find
that the mothers of these great coun-
tries will see that the fields of Eu-
rope are not drenched with the blood
of their sons.-Lloyd- Georges .Ad-

SPRING WORK STARTED
BIGACREAGE PROMISED
PREPARATIONS BEGIN IN A MANNER
THAT INDICATES PEOPLE HAVE
FAITH IN COUNTRY.

The present week has ushered in
real spring weather. The snow,
except the remains of what a few
weeks ago were huge drifts, has
disappeared. and not few farmers
have already gone afeld.
No one can be found who is not
willing to give the country good,
fair trial by putting in as large a
crop as their circumstances will
permit. 1t the dry season of last
year had only affected this
section alone then the attitude Of
farmers here might be different
with respect to their faith in the
agricultural future of the country
but we were little if any worse off
than the rest of the state they rea-
son-hence the determination to
go ahead.
The acreage will be large tribu-
tary to this place under the cir
cumstances, that is when we take
into consideration that this will
only be the second crop. Last
year there was five or six steam,
or gasoline breaking outfits turn
ing over the virgin prairie from
about the Goth of April to the
first of July, beside many smaller
jobs done by horses and it has
been estimated that no less than
six or seven thousand acres oi
breaking was done last year with
in the trade vicinity of this place
H. ]. Peterson, who has one o1
the largest breaking outfits here
says that Judging from inquiries
he has already received, he thinks
there will be fully as much done
this year, most Of which will be
put into flax the same as last sea
son. If this proves to be the case
and fair crop becomes our por-
ton. within a few months this
section should become something
as producer of wealth, as the
stock industry. which until just
recently has been carried on SO ex-
tensively by the large ranchmen,
is now also being ssmewl1at devel-
oped by the clailnholder.

INDIAN DELEGATION
NOW AT WASHINGTON
DON'T WANT DIMINISHED RESERVATION
OPENED EXCEPT UPON CERTAIN
CONDITIONS.

Two delegations of Indians, one
from the Standing Rock and the
other from the Cheyenne River
reservation are now in Washing
ton to protest against the opening
of the remainder of these two res
ervations, at least at this time and
except upon certain conditions
which will be explained by them
when they have their audience
with the powers that be at Wash
ington.
We understand that the Indians
object to the opening of the di-
minished reservation because they
desire it as reserve for pasturage
purposes. They also claim that
even if these lands are opened to
settlement it should not be done
until all of the land now subject to
entry has been taken. 1t also ap-
pears that Approximately three
hundred thousand dollars has been
paid in as first payments by settlers
now here but that none of this
money has yet been advanced to
the Indians and the delegation will
very strongly urge that this be
done in the very near future.
These delegations consist of six
men from each reservation who
were elected at a council held last
fall and their trip to Washington
has been delayed awaiting permit
to come. Superintendent Hamil
ton accompanied the Standing
Rock delegation and Superintend
ent King went with the Cheyenne
River men.

AFFINITIEs OF ExPEDIENcY.

Love, like the smallpox, is most
dangerous when you take it the nat
ural way. Those made matches,
which heaven is supposed to have a

mans property in the neighborhood
of an unmarried woman which des-
tine two people 'or each other in
life, because heir well-judging
friends have agreed "They'll do
very well /; they were made for each
other;" these are the mild cases of
the malady; this process Of friendly
vaccination takes out the poison Of
the disease, substituting a more
harmless and less exciting affection.

Nine. Melba, when a pupil at the

THE. PARCEL. POST IN SIGHT.

Senator Gardner of Maine has i'll
troduced a bill i'll which he proposed
that the government should purchase
AL express companies. operating
them together with the postal ser
vice to rural delivery. In analyzing
the bill. he said that the transition
of express companies from private
ownership to governmental could be
done in a day without any visible
change. and that rates char ed for en-
press service will be based upon
weight and distance.
He pointed out that express rates
now are sixteen times freight charg-
es, and that under governmental OPP
Grafton the ratio will be greatly re-
duced In addition to the remarka-
BILE low rates of express charges. the
most corner OF the country.
1t is roughly estimated that the to-
tai cost of purchasing all express
companies would be $39. ,S19
This governmental ownership of eX-
press lines will remove all arguments
against the establishment of parcel
posts and will release the public
from the robbing of private transpor-
tatiOn companies.
If the payment of $40 .ooo 600 by
the government will give to the pub
lie express rates three times cheaper
than before. and will make possible
the establishment OF parcel posts.
