USELESS RESTRICTION.

The war department has a regula-
ton prohibiting the inscription of any
insignia or emblem of any fraternal
or secret society on any Of the monu-
ments, tombstones, slabs or markers
in the national cemeteries of the
United States.
Many of those buried in these ma
tional cemeteries were persons who.
in their lifetime, were members of
such societies-and their relatives de-
sire to have reference made on their
monuments to such membership.
In consequence of this Cong. Pat
Harrison of Mississippi has introduced
a measure in congress allowing this
to be done-where the nearest relative
requests this and the proper authors
ties Of the society or order certifies
that the deceased was a member.
There is nothing partisan or Sec
tartan In this. Every fraternal soci-
ETY. or order should urge members OF
congress to see that this Measure be-
comes a law. The time to pass reso-
lutions and write letters is now. This
measure is House Joint Resolution No.

PUBLIC DAY


Last Sunday the people Of Fargo
wore carnations in honor Of Mothers
day. The next official observance of a
similar nature will be Decoration day.
It Is suggested that every man whose
heart beats periodically, should on
that day wear a sprig of evergreen-in
honor of the brave old veterans who
preserved the union.
For the Fourth of July there is a
nation wide movement in favor OF
wearing a small American flag. This
will serve two purposes. 1t will have
a tendency to inspire patriotism-and
also will make for safer and saner
celebrations. The boy, who bedecks
himself with a miniature flag and
marches proudly forth, is doing a great
deal more than the little son of a gun
who fires off huge frecrackers-
blows off his fngers-startles nervous
people into hysterics-and starts wild
runaways and serious co~nfagrations.
Why not wear these symbols?

proper drainage, grading and attention

NoRWAY's INDEPENDENCE.

This is an important day for Nor

the large number of people in Fargo
and North Dakota Of that nationality
lit is no exaggeration to say the day
is OF especial interest to the native,
as well as the adopted, Americans.
This is the anniversary of Norway's
independence, 1t is an inspiration for
the people who descended from the
vikings. Scandinavian history is full
Of heroes of war, great statesmen, tall
ented poets and ingenious inventors.
North Dakota and the great northwest
has been fortunate in drawing largely
from this sturdy race.
The N~orwegians have proven their
patriotism, enterprise ana ambition so
often they can feel the assurance that
the rest of the people share with them
the patriotic sentiment that Is being
expressed today.

The people of North Dakota are

drowned by the glad song Of progress.
This year the people nave even more
than ordinary reason for that opti-
mistic feeling. After two years Of dry
weather there have been bountiful
rains. Soil conditions are ideal and
the crops are well advanced. In some
localities seeding was delayed by
rains-but the moisture vas so well
come there was little complaint.
The entire state has been thoroughly
soaked. Not only is the top soil wet
but the moisture has gone deeply. The
sloughs and the lakes are filed and the
outlook for the future is certainly en-
couraging.
With present conditions there is ev-

many guarantees Of a bountiful crop.

UNPOPULAR MAcApAM.

For years the general impression
has been that macadam country roads
were the best ever. They, made rural
travel possible in all conditions Of
weather. They cheapened the trans

creased the value Of farm land. They
made it possible to attend churches
and schools regularly and a great deal
more pleasant for the youthful swain
to take his best girl driving.
Then came the automobiles. The
