HELP THE FLOOD SUFFERERS.

While the South was sufficiently fortunate to
escape the ravages Of the terrible storm which re-
Gently swept over the Ohio valley, this is no rea-
son why Southerners should not extend aid to its
victims. The storm was of sufficient magnitude to
make il national calamity, and people in every
section of the country should do what they can to
help the sufferers.
Not only were several thousand lives shifted
out but property valued at millions of dollars was
destroyed and countless people left without food,
shelter or clothing President Wilson has issued a
pronunciamento calling upon the people of the en-
tire country to aid the storm victims and this pro-
nunciamento has been supplemented by call from
the Manufacturers Record which has large cir
culation in the South, and which makes a specia
appeal to Southerners for liberal donations
The South is just now enjoying an era OF
unusually prosperity, and we feel sure that South
erners, who are noted for their generosity anC
their kind hearts will be glad to donate LIBERAL!

Surrounding various residences in Columbus
there are many attractive flower gardens, and at
this season of the year these gardens are at the
zenith of their beauty, being filled with blossom
ing plants and verdant shrubs, but their beauty is
being destroyed by thoughtless girls and boys who
step in and rob the plants of their blossoms with

INCREASED PAY FOR DIPLOMATS.

The fact that both Richard Olney and DR..
Elliott have declined the ambassadorship to Eng
land has brought forward the fact that the United
States pays her representatives at foreign courts
such meager salaries that only men of means can
afford to accept appointments of this character.
President Wilson believes that there are in this
country many men of moderate means who would
make excellent diplomats and in order that he may
appoint such men to Office will endeavor to induce
congress to increase the salaries of our official
representatives in foreign countries and provide
houses for them to live in.
The suggestion of President Wilson has beer
endorsed by leading editors and statesmen through
out the country and it is believed that his recon-
mendaton in the matter will be carried out by
congress.

HORDES OF OFFICE SEEKERS.

Evidently members of the Democratic party
are not, as class at least, averse to serving their
country Ever since President Wilson was inau-
gurated he has been besieged by Office seekers.
and Federal statisticians have figured out that one
man out of every forty-seven who voted for him
has applied for a job.
These statstcians have also deduced the fact
that there will be an army of heartsick and disap-
pointed office seekers numbering upward of 2l 900,
for there are TO- 1884 jobs to be filled and 131, $50
patriots who have signifed their willingness tc
serve the government.
The question of patronage is giving President
Wilson and the members of his cabinet some un.
easy hours. Every effort is being made to molify
the feelings of those whose applications must bt
turned down, while at the same time the available
and fit men for the various places are being sought

the evening the tornado struck the

his future residence with his son.
A cab had been ordered to report
to Mr.. Keist's home, which is located
about a quarter of a mile from the
storm district, but before it reached
the home it was stopped by a police
officer who cOnfscated the carriage
for purposes of carrying the manned
and wounded. Vehicles of every des-
CriptiOn were pressed into the service
Of conveying the injured from the
streets.
"One of the awful sights that met
Il gaze in the Streets" said Mr..
Keist, was a big banana cart laden
with dead bodies. 1t was one of the
most distressing scenes l have ever
seen or could be imagined"
Mr.. Keist stated the velocity of the

There was a large attendance last
night at the brotherhood meeting Of

teresting session was held, which was
much enjoyed.
The evening was devoted to the dis
cussion Of the commission form of
government and Aubrey Lawrence, the
well known attorney and Hon. Robert

ers. Mr.. Lawrence gave his ideas of
the new law from the lawyers stand
point, while Mr.. Blakemore talked OF
the measure as seen from the Iegis-
latOr's standpoint and they were both
very Interesting. They were both in
favor of the new measure and Mr..
Blakemore, who has taken a great deal
Of interest in the matter, explained all
of it's workings and how, in his opin-
ion, it would benefit the people of the
city Of Fargo.
Following the two addresses there
were many questions asked the two
speakers, who responded. The evening
closed with delightful refreshments
which were much appreciated. The
meetings of the First NJ. e. brother
hood are always entertaining as vel

LARGEST TRAIN
OF AUTOMOBILES
LARGEST SINGLE SHIPMENT EV-

IA PASSED THROUGH FARGO
ToDAY-ENTlRE TRAIN LADEN
WITH FORD CARS.

Not only the largest train conveying
automobiles that ever penetrated the
northwest, but the largest single ship
passed through the city today, laden
with 40S Ford automobiles which are
already sold for delivery.
With Mgr. c.. +. Reynolds of the
Fargo branch of the Ford, who receiv-
ed the immense consignment, a party
OF newspaper men visited the huge
train in the Great Northern yards this
morning. The train, which came in
n section, comprised fifty-eight cars.
All the automobiles are for delivery
in North Dakota with the exception
OF eight carloads which are for the
Queen City Auto Co., at Crookston,
Mimi. The rest n for the North Da-
kota dealers. Twenty three carloads
go to he Minot Auto Co. at Minot,
fourteen to the Moore Auto Co. at
Grand Forks, four carloads to the Nc
Kinney Auto Co. at Williston, four to
q. A, Springer at Mayville, two r
loads to j. F. Ramage at Langdon, and
three carloads to the Fargo branch of
the corporation.
This great shipment has attracted
widespread attention among all the
big trunk lines. The valuation of the
consignment is nearly $500, 900. While

the people to keep them in that con-
dition, for diseases will play havoc
with this crop which has assumed
mammoth proportions In the Red
river valley and elsewhere in the
state. The market is pretty well load
ed just now and I found that the
dealers were generally favoring the
smaller and cleaner potato.
1T seems to me that some Of the
potatoes that / had seen on my trip
had been raised by farmers who had
no idea as to quality. They appeared
to think that 100 pounds of potatoes
weighed 100 pounds and that is all
there is to, it, for there was apparent
ly no attempt at getting a good
quality. Keep up the standard of the
seed here, keep 1t free from the
diseases and I am confident hat the
potato crop will long be one that will
be worth while in the Red river val
ley. We must keep after the diseases
all the time in order to effectually
stamp them out and keep this section
